The little child is safe from ordinary
dangers in the care of the faithful dog.
But neither tile dogs fidelity, nor the
mothers love can guard a child from
those invisible foes that lurk in air,
water and food-the germs of disease.
Children need to be specially watched
and cared for. When there is loss of
appetite, 1assitude and istlessness in
child, an attempt should be made to re-
vive the appetite and rally the spirits. In
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
parents have found an invaluable medi-

character and absolute freedom from
alcohol and narcotics commend it to
every thoughtful person. 1t IS pleasant
to the taste, unlike the foul oils and
their e1nulsions offered for children's
use. vGolden Medical Discovery" makes
pure blood and sound flesh, and abso-
lutely eliminates from the system the
poisons which feed disease.

His Adventure.

The numbering old stage coach, with
four horses attached, pulled out from
Randsburg and started for Mohave,
forty miles away. On the seat with the
driver was young man who had
made his pile" as they say in
Randsburg, and was now on his way
back to his New England home.
Hugh Gordon had left Brockton four
years ago for California, where he
intended to find situation as book
keeper, but did not get employment as
soon as he expected, and falling in
with prospector who was about to
return to the mountains, he Joined
him In the search for gold. For three
years and half. in company with his
partner, he searched the hills and
streams for the yellow metal, making
living at all times, but never strik.
ing any rich fields. AT last, when al
most discouraged and about to give
up his hopeless task, he heard Of the
new diggings at Randsburg, and he
and his partner hurried there. They
were fortunate in getting a good claim
and after taking about $4,000 apiece
in gold dust, Hugh sold out his share
of the claim to his partner for $10,-
600 more. This he exchanged for bills
and then took the stage for Mohave,
the nearest railroad station.
He was thinking what surprise he
would give his old mother when he
walked in and laid his fortune on the
table. Yes, he would buy an interest
in one of the large shoe factories, and
his future would be assured Perhaps
he would marry, and he was wonder
ing whether he preferred a blonde or
a brunette, when suddenly four mask
ed men appeared in front of the stage,
and, with leveled rifles, commanded
the driver to halt or die. Resistance
was useless and the driver pulled up.
In ten minutes the passengers were
plucked and the robbers disappeared,
and with them Hugh Gordon's roll of
bills.

Shepherds of MOUNTAINEERING.
(Long ago)

(Her Brittanic majesty is becoming
wonderfully generous, and as an in
stance of her large hearted benevo-
lence we beg to submit the following
item: queen Victoria's Christmas
present to the Emperor Alexander will
be six Southdown sheep from the
Northumberland folds" If that be
not right royal gift we are no judge
OF mutton. 1t is worthy of being en-
balmed in the bardic annals of the
poet laureate, but fearing that Alfred
Tennyson might neglect the sacred
task, we have in our own rude way,
and after considerable tear-shedding,
succeeded in grinding out the append
ed stanzas.)
Ye shepherds of Northumberland,
Grow at last,
Your fat weathers have been chosen
For an emperor's repast
Let echo watt your canticles,
Above the mountain tops;
Mrs. Vic has just exported
Samples of your mutton chops.
Ye shepherds of Northumberland,
Permit me to convey
A bard's congratulations
To your simple selves, l pray
Let me breathe ten thousand blessings
On the jovial rams and dams,
And the Northern vegetation
That nursed those six young lambs.
There are pastures fair and spacious
In the vale of green Cashmere,
And some sheep walks in the shadow
OF the Adirondacks here;
But my lips can never relish
Mutton outlet evermore,
Save it savors of the vervain
On the umber's winding shore.
Long a leal love I've cherished
For that legend-haunted place
That skirts the Scottish border,
And the wealds of Chevy Chase:
But now each fen and fallow,
Every snake-frequented mound,
That your flocks roam careless over
deem consecrated ground.
To those pastures reaches ample,
Meath Northumbria's blue skies,
The cooks in Windsor kitchen
Must henceforth look for supplies;
Alexander's Cossack Wallets
Think there's cure for all their ills
In the yeanlings fed and fattened
On the herbs of Cheviot hills.
So shepherds of Northumberland.
Elated ye may be,
And reason good, God wot have I
To verse-make merrillie.
No more Grape now on your croziers-
Bless for aye the Muscovite,
And pray pine-crowned Pan to sharpen
Alexander's appetite

Interesting Description of Church
Where Miracles Are Worked.

The Church of Good st. Anne comes
to you with something of a shock. A
shrine ought to be old and weather
beaten, anu this is as insolently new
and clean as the deck of a
battleship. The platform of the rail-
way bounds one side of square, in
closed by ratings of white and gold.
On the north and west are hotels, all
French, all new, all depending on
pilgrims for their patronage. On the
east side is the church itself, built Of
stone of delicate silver gray, check
cred with white. Over the main
entrance is great silt statue of The
saint. -
On each side of the doors within IS
huge pyramid reaching up to the
roof, composed of crutches, boots,
rosaries, trusses, plaster of paris
casts-all the mysterious things you
see in the windows of shops where
they sell surgical appliances. l even
saw a wooden leg! Close to the altar
was a lovely column on a pedestal of
exquisite marble, surmounted by a
gawdy painted statue, with gold sun
burst round it's head. Here also was
a smaller pile of crutches and other
artificial aids for suffering humanity,
and scattered about were candles and
candle ends and lamps of all sizes.
There were votive tablets carved n
white marble on the walls. One of
them read, Good st. Anne, pray for
Mr.. and Mrs. Owen Tansey." Fancy
presenting card engraved Mr.. and
Mrs" for admission to the courts of
heaven! American sense of humor is
a queer thing. In the side chapels
were glass cases holding waxen,
bloody hands pierced through with
nails, and in porchway there were
spectacles and pipes and tobacco
boxes fastened to the wall. In an
annex to the church rosaries, candles
and relics were exposed for sale.
