 Since the first number of St Nicholas was published. nearly 30 years ago. many weekly and monthly publications for children have come and gone; but St Nicholas still holds it's place. the unrivalled prince of periodicals for young folks" It was never more enjoyed by it's readers than now for in addition to the us ual serial stories, short articles. etc.. there Is a department called ''The St Nicholas League" in which the children themselves have an opportunity to take part. There are said to be nearly fifty thousand children now | belonging to the League and prizes are given out each month for the best stories. poems drawings and photographs sent in by the young members. Any reader of St Nicholas | may become a member.

THE LATE EDWARD SANFORD.

| THE LATE EDWARD SANFORD.
 Edward Sanford, deceased. was the
 son of the late John W. and Altha San
 ford in Bedding and deserves more
 than a passing tribute. He resided in
 Knoxville, East Tennessee. He was
 associated with Parson Brownlow and
 others at the time of the Civil war
 and stood firmly for the right, although his state attempted or did pass the or dinance of secession. He wasa staunch Unionist and although he did not go
 into the Union army, yet he maintain
 ed his position unflinehingly, though it
 was at the loss of all things. He had
 married a Southern woman and two of
 her brothers wore the gray uniform.
 His devotion to his country was mani-
 fest when it became necessary for hIm to flee from his home to make his es-
 cape through much tribulation. Burn
 ing with ha tired to every Northern, Con-
 federates at his left and right, there
 was no other alternative for him but to close the contest and seek for more congenial air among his friends. By night he was, helped away by these
 brothers, traversing through swamps and dreary places until he reached the Union camp and finally GO his fathers house, where he received warm vel come. But even here he was distress ed because of his loved ones he had parted with. How were they faring? In bitterness of spirit no news of any kind could get from him to them or from them to him: The lines were fast closed for the time being, some months intervening, but once more the communication was unbroken and there was mutual rejoicing, the Union lines allowing free exchange of mail matters. I cannot say how long it was before he rejoined his family, but some time. Being tested for his Union principles he triumphed and was ever afterward favorite among those who prized his integrity for his government on loyal lines. They wish ed him to receive the candidacy to to represent" his district as member of Congress. He declined, having humble views of his qualification for. that post, not having paid much attention to Reclamation or oratory in the common schools, feeling himself deficient in speech making, he would not run for that office. We have respect for bis loyalty. His loss is irreparable to his family and remaining sister-[E. Hill.

RUSHING THE FALL WORK.

RUSHING THE FALL WORK. During the past week the fall weather has been remarkably fine. Every owner of a home is making necessary repairs and cleaning up dry leaves andother rubbish that naturally collects about the yard, a lurking place for disease. The past summer of wet weather has been unusually bad for old shingle roofs, which leak like a riddle in every part, making new roof absolutely necessary. Carpenters are in demand and it is difficult to get men enough to do the work. The borough highways have been put in good repair for winter and also the town roads which need a little dressing up. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES. At the Congregational church, Sun- day morning, after the sermon over S325 was pledged toward the improve mentS on the exterior of the church. It is believed the improvements will cost not far from $4OO. The interior has been very handsomely renovated and it seems proper that the some what shabby exterior should be brightened up.

That's the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clear ing the head and throat.
 No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stom- ach and affects the appetite.
 To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional-altera and tonic.
 II was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial but gradually grew worse until could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease since." EUGENE FORBES, Lebanon, Kan.

A SUBJECT OF PRAYER
A Boy Who Stole Pocketbook From
 From the Pcstoffice.

On Thursday afternoon a Mrs. Tomp- kins applied at the pOstOfIice for q money order. When she passed her application through the window she was reminded that it had not been signed. It was handed back to her and locking about for pen and ink she saw the writing material at a little dis tlnce from her. She left some letters and her pocketbook lying on the desk . | the money order window and when she returned the pocketbook was gone. There were in it several certificates of deposit issued by the Valley bank, and some silver. but what Mrs. Tomp- kins valued more than all was what she described as q sacred gold coin worth about &.
 She notified the bank of the loss of the certificates. Yesterday one of them for SG5 was presented by a Chinese merchant in business in the southern part of the city. It was not endorsed and had evidently been mistaken by the Chin2man fer check made pay able to bearer. He was asked where he got it. He said that he had re ceived it from a young Mexican boy the evening before in payment for a suit of clothes. He was told to pro- duce the boy and in the meantime the certificate was held at the bank. Later in the day the Chinaman came back with the boy, who said that his name was Jose Garcia. He had the pocket book with the rest of the certificates of deposit, but the silver and the
