was taken forth, cold and senselesrs
but she was not dead. Her heart still
had motion, and after much labor wa
succeeded in bringing her back to con-
sciousness. The next need was to find
safe shelter for her. We dared not
take her back to the city. / thought
of the hermit, Ben Hadad. l had
heard that he was benevolent man,
and l resolved to seek him. We found
his cave; and when he had heard my
story, he promised to give us shelter,
and to protect the unfortunate lady.
My mistress so far recovered as to
be able to sit up; but she could not
get well. Her system had received too
great a shock, and her poor heart was
broken. In two weeks from the time
when she entered the cave she gave
birth to son, and shortly afterwards
she died. She died as pure and true
as heaven itself, and her child was the
offspring of an honor which no temp
tation could have furnished She died;
but the child lived and thrived-lived,
and grew strong, and noble, and bold.
We told him how his mother had been
wronged; but We did not tell him all.
We did not tell him who his father
was: only we told him that he owed
his Orphanage to the king of Damas-
Gus. When he grew up he resolved
that the king should suffer for the deed
he had done, and subsequent events
have proved that his resolution was
not vain.
This, sire, is the son of the woman
who was my mistress. Julian, the
Scourge of Damascus is the child l
have reared. Would you know more?"
Koran sat in his great chair, with
his hands clutched tightly upon the
golden arms, and his whole frame quiv-
ering.
Co." he gasped. "the secret is nigh
to the surface! What shall I ask?"
The king of Aleppo moved to Ho-
rams side, and whispered in his ear.
Aye" exclaimed the quaking mon
arch. when he had listened to the
words Of his brother, 1T shall be So
What no! Benoni-clear this chamber
of all save this old man and woman,
and his-this-Julian, Lead them out
quickly, and remain with them to
watch them"
In a few moments the two kings
were alone with the three prisoners
who had been designated.
'Now-now-speak!"
King of Damascus" said the aged
hermit, taking a step forward, "allow
me to tell you the rest. The suns of
almost a hundred years have rolled
over my head. and not yet have 1 will
lingly deceived a fellow creature to
his injury. What this woman has told
you is true. The lady who was
brought to my cave three-and- twenty
years ago-who gave birth to a child
there-and who died in Ezabel's arms
was Helena. Queen of Damascus, And
the son which she bore was the son
of the king swear it; and in sup
port thereof, I pledge my SOULS sal

Mr.. ABRAHAM AND OTHERS.
Belief That Men Who Commit Suicide
Are Not Insane.

Belief That Men Who Commit Suicide
Are Not Insane.
Mr.. Abraham, wealthy and worthy
member of the Boston school board,
recently committed suicide, as did
several other men in the same city at
about the same time. Mr.. Abraham
had been in business for many years,
had accumulated, presumably, 5000, 900,
and occupied an enviable position in
the esteem Of business men. Then
business went wrong his own atten-
ton was diverted, and those to whom
he left the charge of affairs were un-
successful, until collapse was threat
ened. He lacked the courage to con-
fide to his friends and ask their as
sistance. At time when great wealth
was coming to his associates it was
humiliating for him to confess failure.
He preferred to face God than his fell
low men, and the first suspicion of the
real situation was the tragic ending.
A day or two later another man de-
parted in the same manner at Boston
hOlCi, icdNiH6, dulOuS luIe6 OLucT ltL-
ters to be mailed after the event, one
to the editor of the Journal of Educa-
ton. After explaining how matters
had gone wrong, he closed his letter
thus: II die by my own hand. Good
bye, my friend. Kind wishes for you
and yours" Those who have never
received such a letter from a friend
after his departure can have slight
appreciation Of the sensation. The
frequency of suicide is bringing it into
many unexpected circles. It Is ap-
parent that men are no longer insane
who do the deed. A calmer, more bus
mess like letter could not be written
than that Of Mr.. P in the hour
Of the fatal shooting. It is equally
certain that fear to meet ones God
with red hands is less and less a de-
terrent element in the case. What,
then, is the remedy? Teaching and
inspiring greater heroism, warmer
faith in mankind, and a nobler pa
thence. Every day we may do some
thing, often much. to save men from
their own hand-Journal of Education.

Fish Are Liks Moths.

Two Yale students have discovered
that electric light is the best bait for
fishing. AS a result of this discovery
the fishing industry promises to be
revolutiOniZed. 1t has been found that
the rays Of an electric light under the
water hypnotic the denizens of the
deep. When they see the rays they
flock to them like a moth to a flame,
and nothing can drive them away as
long as the light shines. If it is
turned off they scamper away in all
directions. A company has been
formed which proposes to enter into
the capture Of fish by electric light
upon an extensive scale.-Kansas

within the past four years the states
Of Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Geor-

duced the national Thanksgiving day.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1901-11-29

In planning for our Thanksgiving
dinner, our minds naturally recur to
the time-honored dishes as roast tur-
key, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce.
baked Indian pudding. ETC., and our
feast never seems quite complies with
out them. 1t Is not always possible,
however, to have turkey and some
do not care for it. Roast goose, chick
en-, duck, pork, or beef may be substi-
tuted for it, Another nice dish Is
mock duck" or pork tenderloins
baked with bread dressing favored
with herbs and onions. A menu that
is semi-old-fashioned but usually liked
Is oyster soup, roast turkey with
mashed potatoes, turnips, baked
squash, pickles-swcet and sour-jel-
lies; salad. mince and pumpkin pie;
fruit, nuts and coffee. 1t is we'll to
have some kind of light pudding for
those who do not eat pie. If oysters
cannot be procured, vegetable oysters
may be substituted. Cream tomato Is
favorite kind of soup.

Vending Rattlesnakes from n Boat.

A strange craft with a strange car
go arrived in this city recently, says
a La Crosse correspondent Of the Mil
waukee Sentinel. 1t was a small open
boat, manned by two men, who say
they follow the river for their living,
and the cargo was a large collection
of live rattlesnakes. They said they
secured the collection up in Mime
sofa and succeeded in selling the
snakes in river towns. Though they
claimed the fangs were not drawn,
one of the men handled the snakes
with impunity.

A New Circus for Us.

For the first time in its history,
the Great Wallace Show will visit
Union City this season. The date
is Wednesday, November Is. This
is about the only prominent city
in the country that the Wallace
circus has not visited during its
seventeen annual tours of the
country. For some reason or
other we have not been on Wal
lace's map.
The Great Wallace Show is in
the very front rank Of tented
shows, and its splendor and mag
nitude upon its coming visit will
be an agreeable revelation to those
of our citizens who are not versed
in the show business. The Wal
lace circus is a fine show, BIG
one, and it is almost safe to say 1t
is the most popular and up-to-
date circus on the road to-day. 1t
has a large menagerie and muse
UNI, including some unusual fea-
lures, and in its circus proper
there are from five to eight acts
at one time on the stage and in the
three rings.
After the Great Wallace Shows
exhibition here on Wednesday,
10 in Union City, when
we will become well acquainted
with the Wallace aggregation and
it with our city, it is safe to say
that each will become popular
with the other and that the Wal
lace circus will always be sure Of
large crowds whenever it visits
here.
