the little meeting with his collar fast
ened at the back. but no further. The
ends curved up among his curling locks
in most worldly. unorthodox fashion,
while he sung,
" Nor will we heed with Fashions brood,
Nor put her baubles on"
One winter day fierce storm swept
over the little school house. aud Tommy,
with several other children. unable to
make his way home against the hurri-
cane, stopped at Brother Wslton's
house.
Come in. come in and WELCOMED"
cried the little man. "Praise the Lord
We have roof over our heads this awful
night"
Tommy looked at him and wondered
why he tad thought Johuny's father
cross. He watched the farmer wrap
himself up and go with his boys to
make the horses and cows and pigs com.
Portable. He saw him, presently, come
staggering up through the snow. with
heavy burden.
"Got room for one more. motherY"
he called at the door, as his wife hast
ened to let him in. and then Tommy
saw him holding little lamb in his
arms.
ut would get its nose cold tonight,
I'm afraid. Can we make room for it?"
Tommy's eyes opened wide. Why he
was surprised he could not tell, but he
looked at the lamb for long time.
"It's surprising what luck that man
has" said a neighbor to Tommy's father
one bright spring morning. "Your Un-

The neighbor paused on his home

step. more like sentry on duty than a

The little prayer meeting was tagging 1T

Presently, from dim corner, stran-

Brethren" he said. I'm not ac-
quainted with you, but I'm acquainted

The voice was thin. but piercing. 1t

That's what he wants in his army, be-

The enthusiasm Of the speaker had
carried his tones almost to shrek. He
sat down and began to sing 10 a hoarse
voice.

"Who is he?" was the unspoken
thought Of every mind, as one after an
other followed the Injunction OF the
little stranger to be minute men,"

Phineas Benton to himself, as the con-
gregation filed out into the cool. dark
night. Must be he's been in the army.
He don't walk like farmer. Well, ii it
is, we'll have him for neighbor."
The next morning two rosy checked,
smiling little lads marched up to Farm.
er Benton's door, and asked for "the
loan Of hammer" They belonged to
the new neighbor, Brother Walton"
they gravsly explained. and then. catch
ing a roguish twinkle in Tommy Ben
tons eye, were convulsed with snickers.
The farmer looked after them, half
pitiugly. as they went away.
The man that takes Uncle Abrams
place has no easy time OF it," he said to
his wife. Them little lads won't have
SO gay time as they're a-countin' on"
The little lads had no easy time, truly.
Farmer Benton often pitied them as he
saw them toiling through the fields be-
hind plow or cultivator.
They ought to be in school, he said
to himself. "It's hard enough for man
to have to work like that, but they're
too young. He might take some thought
for them, il he don't for himself. He
always brings them to meetin', too. I'll
warrant they'd heap sooner stay to
home an rest"
Whatever the little Waltons would
sooner" have done, they did as their
father bade them. Their love for their
mother, dear old Mother Walton, with
her great, loving heart and her great,
portly frame, was unmixed with this
fear that their father inspired. The old
soldier had learned to obey orders. and
he proposed to have bis cons do like
wise.

A MARROW ESCAPE
An Indiana WOman's Terrible
 Experience

Tt was q frightful experience and never expected to come out alive" said Mrs. Ellen Bowman of No. S2 Windsor Block. Indianapolis, Ind, ,a the course of an interview recently published in the Sun of that city. VI do not suppose 1t ever would have hap pened," she continued, but, some years ago 1 began Co worry and to do more work than ought. This brought on general physical weakness, my blood became thin and grew nervous. l went to doctor and he said 1 hAL consumption.

 Yes. he gave me some medicine Other doctors failed to help me and l became Respondent of ever getting we'll My limbs ached. my head was dizzy and l YVES most miserable.
 You don't look now as If you had ever been sick" yentured the reporter.
 No. and I don't feel as if I ever had" said she. "I owe my present health to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale people. About four years ago a friend from Ohio recommended the pills 10 me. saying they had benefited his daughter whose symptoms were similar to mine. SO I began 10 use them. It was only a very short time before experienced relief. l have re- commended the pills to many. for am confident that benefit will follow their use"
 There Is hardly person who does not worry at times and fret about things that go wrong. And worry is responsible for as much sickness as any other cause. It interferes with the action of the stomach and racks the nerves. The result Is that the blood bec0 mes FOOT and the nervous system impaired. The power of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale people in the vast number of disease due to de- engagements of the nervous system or to impure blood has been demonstrated in thousands of instances as remark able as the one related above.

IL nnIncd Copper.

The cadets of Annapolis sat in the side aislcs Of the chapel leaving the center alslcg for the officers and their families, says Dr. Cyrus Townsend Brady In Under Tops'ls and Tents"
 When the offering was received, the two boys charged with the duty of passing the plates did not make the slightest effort 10 circulate them among the cadets. for we never had any mon- ey. They would walk rapidly down the aisle and then come deliberately up the middle. gathering thenee what they could. One Sunday the chaplain an- nounced that he would preach mis- sionary sermon the next Sunday. IL did not have the ordinary effect in emptying the church, for We were obliged to go as usual.
 During the week It occurred to the bright mind of senior, or first class man, who is now a prominent New York fnancier, that 1t would be well for the cadets to make an offering. So he sent out 10 the Eank on Saturday morning and succeeded in smuggling in over 300 copper cents, which he dis
 
 tributed 1 cent per boy to the Epis- copal battalion. We stationed strong. long armed man on the outside seat of tne first pew i2 each aisle.
 The chaplain made pteous appeal for pennies even and when the aston lshed cadets who passed the plates started on their pcrfunctory promenade the strong. ono armed men aforesaid promptly relieved them of the metal plates. and each one dropped in one copper cent with an ominous crash aud then deliberately handed th" plate 10 the next boy. who did the same thing. It rained copper cents for about ten minutes. The chaplain was dread fully disconcertcd. the officers fdSeted and looked aghast. Some of them laughed. and the cadets preserved a deadly solemnty The affair vas striking success.

A wear AGO we called attention

A year ago we called attention
to the fact that the United States
had for the. first time passed Great
Britain in the quality of coal pro-
duced and had become the leading
nation in the worldsin the output
of mineral fuel. From all parts of
the country we have reports of in
creases in production, giving us a
total which far surpasses anything
ever recorded for our own or any
other country. The United States
last year, for the first time in its
history, began to export coal to
other nations than its neighbors,
Canada and Mexico. This move
ment, however, was favored by the
scarcity in the European market
which will not continue We have
little doubt that with our advanced
methods of mining our coal pro-
ducers will become serious COM
petitors of Great Britain, which
has heretofore been the chief ex-
porting nation.

The Search For Hurlow.

The efforts to find Jos. Hurlow,
who left Crested Butte on Decem-
Der End, to 90 to the mine where
he was employed in Rustler gulch,
and possibly the last that can be
made this winter, were made Janu-
ary 4th and 5th. On the fourth
instance David Davis and Frank
Buster found trail leaving Goth
ic, and followed it for several miles
in the direction of the mine to
which it was known that Hurlow
was going. At point three miles
above Gothic the trail they were
following turned abruptly from the
course it had taken, and after
wandering aimlessly about
for some time, started in direc-
ton at nearly right angles from
the road that led to the mine.
Night having overtaken them,
they were compelled to abandon
the hunt, and returned to Crested
Butte. Positive that the trail
which he had followed was that of
the lost party, Mr.. Davis renewed
the search the following day in
company with Jos. Ingham, G. L.
Ross, G.. W. Tetard and +. L. Nor
ris, but the effort was futile, and
the searchers were compelled, on
account OF stormy weather, to re-
turn home without accomplishing
anything that would tend to locate
the missing party.
