times, even down to the advent of man.
These vapors, it is supposed, revolved
about the earth as a world canopy,
just as similar vapors revolve about
the planets Jupiter and Saturn to-day.
Such a canopy, it is claimed, would
be competent to modify the climate
of the whole earth, even causing
temperate climate about the poles,
and ample pasturage for the mann.
moth and his cogeners.
Now astronomers say that Jupiter
is at times dropping portions of his
canopy or watery vapor at his poles
If this be true, and if law presides
universally in the evolution of worlds.
we are asked to admit that earth's
canopy of lingering vapors, compe-
tent during its existence to make a
warm climate, was also competent in
its fall in the polar region to DESC

ly we can place no metes and bounds
to such avalanches of world SHOWS,
nor can we put any estimate upon
their suddenness. Such snowfalls
may have covered polar pastures and

deep in single day or in an hour.

Jim's attention was disturbed by
an earnest colloquy which was TAX
ing place in front of him between
the silver cornet band and the drum
major. They stood alone in front of
the grocery store, their red coats
and gold braid rejecting back the
bright rays of the morning sun and
almost striking blind the admiring
eyes of the half hundred residents of
Eullerville, who stood at proper
distance gazing in open-mouthed
wonder at the respondent beings be-
fore them.

A Filler in
the NOisy<
BY PHILIP MANILA.

IN APPLICABLE stood with long
ii face while the train from the
county seat pulled into Fullerville
1t was the day of the opening of
the Posey county fair and Fullerville
was all excitement. A big crowd
stood on the depot platform to see
the silver cornet band from the coun-
ty seat disembark. Also to watch
the detraining of Hon. Joshua
Griggscom, who was to be the orator
of the day, and other notables who
were expected on the train.
Jim Apologize alone of all Fullerville
took no interest in the arrival either
of the silver cornet band or Hon.
Joshua Griggscom. He only sat on a
cracker box in front of Bascom's
grocery store and chewed sullenly on
wisps of straw that he pulled now
and then from bale that lay by him.
Neither did the prospect of the
grand parade to the fair grounds
which was to take place in two hours
awaken any responsive thrills in his
bosom. In fact, the parade was what
was giving him most uneasiness.
For in his minds eye Jim AppIegate
saw Sam Upper riding on a bay
horse in the front of the procession.
Sam Upper, with a great red sash
around his waist, big blue badge,
with the words assistant marshal on
it, pinned on the left breast of his
coat.
'She won't look at me all day
long" sighed Jim to himself. "She
won't see nobuddy but tibet gul
burned Upper jest because he's a as
Eistant mershell with red sash and
hedge"
Jim Applegate sat and chewed the
straws and the end of his own bitter
reflection. Jim would have repeated
the words of Gilbert's famous song,

ball dresa. He had a good figure, and
the uniform fitted him well.
Down the street came the process
sion.
That's him, that's him." shouted
a lot of voices as the assistant mar
shall rode proudly along with the
ends of his red sash flying CALAMITY
in the wind. Hello, Sam; howd'y,
SAM"
Sam bowed like a field marshal of
France, and then swelled up like a
turkey gobbler as the prettiest girl
in the crowd stepped out two or
three feet and tossed him a rose,
which he caught and pinned above
his badge. Then he turned and
bowed low to the girl, and Sue Nor
ton felt that it was the proudest day
in her life.
The marshal passed on down the
street, and then all eyes were turned
on the next great center of interest,
the real sensation of the day, the
Silver Cornet band from the county
seat. They swung down the street
playing one of Sousa's marches.
The girls were waving their handker-
chiefs as the band passed. Sue Norton
alone was still looking down the street
towards the Haunting red sash of the
assistant marshal.
Suddenly she heard some one say:
"Why, it amt nobody else but jim
Apologize. And he's playin' in the ST.
yer Cornet band. Yes, it's Jim, sure
enough"
1t was a moment of great excite
ment. People could not believe the evil
dence of their own eyes. Jim Apple
gate, in glorious uniform, was march
ing in the Silver Cornet band from the
county seat.
And a-blowin' away as big as emmy on

Right past the girls marched Jim
Apologize in his shining uniform. Sue
Norton looked at him in dismay. She
fluttered her handkerchief at him, but
he did not see it. Julia Simmons,
standing next to her, pulled rose
from her dress and threw it at jim,
who caught it. He also caught a look
at Sue Norton's discounted counte-
nance. 1t inspired him so that he for
got the warnings of the band leader
and gave a toot on the French horn
which frightened 81 Modderdunks
mules so badly that they ran away, and
drew a look from the band leader
which. if looks could kill, would have
stretched Jim lifeless in the road. Ev-

A dying patient RECEIVERS through the in

terposition of a humble German.
Chicago, Nov. Is.
Some weeks ago DR.. C., very reput-
able and widely-known physician, living on
c. Street, was called to attend very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found a man about
forty years of age, lying in a Frustrated and
serious condition, with his whole frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight of
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the mem
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. Almost Immediately the
grief-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German. He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli-
cation eased the patient very much; after
few hours they used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely
Every subsequent application improved the
patient. and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called few days
after, he was indeed surprised.

"Why, Sue" said Sam Upper, in a
much aggrieved tone, as he glanced
down at his red sash and his blue
badge. "All tn girls in town are plum

Sue looked across the street. where
stood Jim Applegate in his borrowed
regimentals, and with a handkerchief
knotted coquettishly around his neck.
Julia Simmons was hanging tight on
one arm and another girl chung to the
other arm of the hero. He looked
across the street with a triumphal
glance at Sue. He saw her drop her
head and look sadly at the ground.
He hurriedly turned his fair charges
over to Lem Bowling, who was stand
ing conveniently near, and hastily ex.
cusing himself hurried across to Sue.

cheek. Course will. Excuse me, if
you please, Mr.. Upper"

much forced laugh. 81 was askin' Sue
