THE SONGS MlRANDY SINGS.

Nirandy's voice Is gettin' cracked, littls
quaver floats
From out her pretty mouth when she at
tempts the higher notes,
An, all in all, though still love her just
as much. 1 know
She cannot MARBLE like she did some thirty
years ago.
But lots o. times, when I'm at work around
the barn, 1 hear,
In some old song I'd half forgot, her voice
a-ringin' clear,
A honeysuckle of tune that round my OF
heart clings-
An.fresh with youthful blossoms are the
songs Mirandy sings.

Or where that Teller talks to Tom bout
Twenty Years Ago.

That makes you walk with Bobby Burns
the banks of ''Bonny Doom"
I wouldn't trade one O. them OF melodies
we knew
Fer all these new ones writ about Han
nah girl er Lou,
Since we had sweet oil tunes them days
an not these rag-time things,
An, somehow, love jes gushes out the
songs Mirandy sings.
The one that OF some Maggie tells: when
You and Were Young

An better yet than that, a glimpse OF
Heaven l behold,
When to my ears comes stealin' "Silver

Though modern songs an operays the

I'd rather hear cracked voice in the old

Than PATHS throat or Melba's MARBLE

The songs of thirty years ago, the songs

CURED BY ST. JACOBS OIL.
Unable to Stand For Months Because
of Sprnined Ankles.
(From the Cardiff I'll

From the Cardiff Times.)
Among the thousands of voluntary en-
dorsements of the great value of st. Ja-
cobs Oil for sprains, stiffness, and soreness,
is that of Mrs. G. Thomas, Alexandra
Road, Cell, Ysbrod, near Pontypridd,
South Wales, who says
ct is with great pleasure that l add my
willing testimony to the invaluable excel
lence of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil, as.
experienced in my own case. / sprained
both my ankles in walking down some steps
several months. The pain l suffered was
most severe, and nothing that used helped
me until 1 applied St. Jacobs Oil, wnen
they Immediately became better daily, and
in short time 1 was able to go about, and
soon after I was quite cured. / am now
determined to advise all persons suffering
from pains to use this wonderful remedy,
which did SO much for me"
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to
what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to stand, and dur
ing which time she was suffering SO much,
but we venture to suggest that had she
called in any well known medical man he
would have at once have prescribed st. Ja-
cobs Oil, for it has conquered pain upwards
of fifty years, and doctors know there is
nothing SO good: The proprietors of st.
Jacobs Oil have been awarded twelve gold
tions as the premium pain-killing remedy of
the world. The committees who made the
awards were in each instance composed
largely of the most eminent medical men
obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did not
know the high opinion in which st. Ja-
cobs Oil is held by almost every progressive
medical man.

belt on the run, but "M'ria" grabs the
slack of the khaki coat and holds
him. Stuyvesant springs for his hat.
1t has vanished. Marion, her hands
behind her, her lips parted, her heart
pounding hard, has darted to the
broad door 20 the salon, and there.
leaning against the framing, she con-
fronts him.
At the rear of the salon Thisbe has
grappled Pyramus and is being pulled
to the head of the stairs; at the head,
Beatrice, with undaunted front, con-
cealing a sinking heart, defies Benz
dick.
'sMy hat, please" he demands, his
eyes lighting with hope and promise
of victory.
''You have no right she begins.
'You are still patient" But now,
with bowed head, she is struggling,
for he has come close to her, so close
that his heart and hers might al
most meet in their wild leaping, so
close that in audacious search for the
missing headgear his hands are
reaching down behind the shrinking,
slender little form, and his long,
sinewy arms almost encircling her.
The war of words at the back stairs
"now trebly laundering swelled the
gale" but it is not heard here at the
front.
His hands have grasped her wrists
now. His blond head is bowed down
over hers, so that his lips hover close
to the part of the dusky hair. My
hat, Maidie," he cries, cor Tn-T'n
take what I want!" Both hands
Juggling terrifically at those slender
wrists now, and yet not gaining IN
inch. "Do you hear? I'll-I'n take"
"You shan't!" gasps Miss Ray,
promptly burying her glowing face
in the breast of that happy khaki,
and thereby tacitly admitting that
she knows just what he wants so
much more than that hat.
And then the long, white hands re-
lease their hold of the slim, white
wrists; the muscular arms twinc
tight about her, almost lifting her
from her feet; the bonny brown head
bows lower still, his mustache brush
ing the soft, damask-like cheek. 81
must go, Misunderstanding! he whis-
pers, without the hat if need be, but
not without-this-and this-and
this-and this and this"-and the last
one fingers long just at the corner of
the warm, winsome, rosy lips. She
could not prevent it--perhaps she did
not try.

QUEEN vICTORIA'S HUSBAND.
How the Prince ConsOrt Received q
Funny Story Told by Sir Edwin
Landseer.

Prince Albert appears to have pos
sessed no humor. He was good man
not quick, but worthy. How his lack
of fun worked him i'll and did no good
to Sir Edwin Landseer is amusing
enough, says the Rochester Post-EX
press. Sir Edwin Landseer was
favorite of the queen, and had in the
prince consort also a great admirer.
One day, in the presence of friend of
the prince consort, German courtier
who was celebrated as raconteur, the
queen asked Lanseer to tell a story, the
famous animal painter having the mar
rative and anecdotal gift, and being in
his way quite the grand seigneur. He
was modest, however, and gave way to
the German notability, who told dog
story, which, however, Landseer could
not resist Gaping with one that
burlesqued the Germans professedly
personal and truthful Renaissance of
canine intelligence.
The queen enjoyed good story, and
Landseer had often amused her males
ty. who expressed her pleasure that
the great painter was reminded by the
story of the prince consort's friend of
an incident that had occurred in the
neighborhood of Windsor Urged by
the doubts of companionfo put a
favorite dog to severe test, Landseer
bet him five-pound note-which he
thereupon buried under sod in Wind
sor park in presence of the dog-that
when they had walked to Virginia wa
ter he would simply tell the dog to
fetch it, and the dog would do so. Hav-
ing nearly arrived at Virginia water,
Landseer told his dog to fetch it,"
The animal bounded away on his mis-
sion, and in short time returned, but
apparently without accomplishing the
feat for which Landseer had backed it.
The doubling friend was delighted un-
til Landseer opened the dogs mouth
and out dropped FIVE sovereigns. The
dog had not only found the note, but
had run into Windsor and changed it
at the bank.
The queen laughed heartily, the
prince was silent. When Landseer was
going to bed, the princes equerry ar
rived with a message: Ills royal high
ness compliments, and he hopes Mr..
Landseer does not think that the queen
believes that story about the dog and
five-pound note"

SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN
CANADA, IS CALLED THE
"GARDEN OF EDEN,"
By n Former Resident of Reed City,
Michigan.

In letter to the Reed City, Mich
igan, Clarion, Mr.. James C. ARM
strong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan,
says, writing on 9th May, 1901:
"This is fine country for poor
man, as he can go out on the hay

is such an abundance of food, they
never wander away.

years, told me that this was the

find the apple trees. But as it is,

''You-knew about it, then?" he
asked, with reviving hope.
''Of course. We Ill knew" respond
ed Miss Ray, well aware of the fact
that he would have been unaccount-
ably and infinitely happier had it been
she alone. ''That is our profession.
But about the brevet. Surely you
ought to be pleased. Captain in your
first engagement"
"Oh, it's only a recommendation"
he answered, land may be as far away

SAINT realized it was an asinine thing.
So, alack! did she! An instant agone
she was biting her pretty red lips.for
letting the word escape her, but his
faulty gave her all the advantage in
spite of herself. It was the play to
see nothing that called for reply in his
allusion. So there was none.
A carriage was coming up the
Luneta full tilt, and though still 600
yards away, she saw and knew it to
be Stuyvesant's returning. But he
saw nothing beyond her glowing face.

CHAPTER xX.-CoNr1NuEp.

Far back towards the dusty high
way where the ambulances were hur-
rying, and close to the abutments Of
a massive stone bridge that crossed
tributary of the Pasig, three Off
GERS, surgeon, and half-a-dozen sol
oilers were grouped about a PROSTATE
form in the pale blue uniform, with
the gold embroidery and broasl
stripes of a Filipino captain, but the
face was CHASTITY white, the language
CHASTITY Anglo-Saxon.
With the blood yelling from shot
hole in his broad, burly chest and the
seal of death already settling on his
ashen brow, he was scowling up into
the half-compassionate, half-con-
temptuous faces about him. Here lay
the "Capitan Americana" of whom
the Tagal soldiers had been boasting
for a month"; deserter from the
army of the United States, COM
missioned officer in the ranks of
Aguinaldo, shot to death in his first
battle in sight of some who had seen
and known him "in the blue"
Lieut.. Stuyvesant, revived by long
pull at the doctors flask, his bleed
ing stanched, had again pressed for
ward to take his part in the fight.
but now lay back in the low vic
toria that the men had run forward
from the village, and looked down
upon the man who in bitter wrath
and hatred had vowed long months
before to have his hearts Blood
: the imam who had so nearly done him
to death in Honolulu. Even now in
Sackett's dying eyes something of
the same brutal rage mingled with
the instant CLEAN of recognition
that for a moment flashed across his
distorted features. 1t seemed retri-
button indeed that his last, conscious
glance should fall upon the living
face of the man to whom he owed his
rescue from a fearful death thai;
night IN far-away Nevada.
: But, badly as he was whipped that
brilliant Sunday, Johnny Filipino
had the wit to note that Uncle Sam
had hardly handful of Cavalry and
nowhere near enough men to follow
up the advantages, and hence the
long campaign of minor affairs that
had to follow. In that campaign San
dy Ray was far too busy at the front
to know very much of what was GO
ing on at the rear in Manila. He
listened with little sympathy to Far
quhar's brief disposition of poor Eos
ter's case. '.They could remove the
desertion and give him q commission.
