The Solemn Quaker.

At the funeral of a lawyer Of state
reputation who lived and practiced In
a town not far from Philadelphia and
who was known among his friends
thereabout as an unbeliever an emil
nent gentleman from Philadelphia
reached the house after the minister
had begun the sermon. Not knowing
how far the services had progressed,
he accosted a well known Quaker Of
the town, who was friend of the de-
ceased and who was noted for his great
sense of humor, and, leaning over his
shoulder, asked in q whisper:
"What part of the services have they
reached|
To which the Quaker, without a
smile, replied:

Took Ii Literally.

A gentleman, wishing some bushes
removed from his garden, told his gar
dener to pull them up by the roots.
Some time after he went into the gar
den and found the gardener digging
trenches round the bushes.
"Why, George" he said, "you need
not dig round those small bushes in
that way. | am sure you are strong
enough to pull them up by the roots"
"Oh. yes. SIR" replied the gardener.
81 am strong enough, but must dig
little before can catch hold of the
roots. If you had told me to pull them
up by the branches, could have re-
moved them"

ANIMAL lMITATyVENE
How IL Beggnr's Dog Grows TO BE
Like His Master.

Like Ills masteF.
zone Of the most curious traits to be
found in the animal nature" said an
observant citizen. sis that which grows
out of the unconscious imitativeness Of
creatures of the lower order. / have
observed many instances Of where the
creatures OF lower order have taken
en- the characteristics in some notice
able degree of members Of the human
family One might know, for instance,
the beggar's dog from the look of the
dog. from the droop Of the eye, the pa
thetic hang of the lip and certain gen.
eral air of dependency and hopeless
ness which seems to speak in the very
nature of the animal. l mention the
beggar's dog because it is familiar
example. The beggar's dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles, never frolics,
but simply sits by his master and
broods and begs for whatever charity
may give.
81 have seen the dog character mold
ed under happier influences, and the
dog became more cheerful. He was a
light hearted, free and easy sort of
creature and seemed to get something
of the SUMMER side of things. l am al
most tempted to say that if you will
show me mans dog l will tell you
what manner of man the owner is,
with particular reference to tempera-
ment and his moods. The melancholy
man. the man who grovels mentally
along the gloomier groves, the pessi-
mistic man who is always looking at
the dark side of the picture all the men
who come within these unhappy CLASH
fications rarely own a cheerful dog.
The dog unconsciously takes to the
ways of the master and in his moods
initiates the masters way of thinking.
"But turn to the dog of the jolly,
cheerful fellow. Watch him show his
teeth in laughter when the master APP
proaches. He is darling across the
yard and dancing and frisking around
the masters feet in the happiest way
imaginable, and he is up to all kinds of
FRANKS and does all kinds of little
things to indicate the good nature that
is in him. He does as his master does
and seems to take the same general
view of life. These are small things, l
guess, but they show just how impor-
tant ones way of thinking may infiu-
ence ones dog and change his whole
view of life."-New Orleans Times

A Good Memory.

When Theodore Roosevelt was gov
ernor of New York, he was a great
friend of the porters and employees of
the New York Central. One morning
he took the 0:15 train from Albany
west, and as he entered the car he said
to Adams, the colored porter: Hello,
porter! You here stillY
"Yes, sir" replied the porter, "and
Pm going to stay here till you get to be
president. and then i want you to give
me job"
"I'll go your promptly replied the
governor. and. sure enough, when Gov
ernor Roosevelt became president of
the United States he surprised Adams
by sending for him to go to work in

THE WAY IT WAS.

fast all winter. He had three of the best
physiciansin attendance, but hiscondition
baffled their skill. Then it CHANGED that
a pamphlet was put into his hands. He
read Of cures of men and women whose
condition suggested his own, and he said !:

If every sick person would reason as
logically and act as promptly as did this

white wood and other spotless articles,
is made as follows: Dissolve two and
one-half ounces of bleached shellac in
one pint of rectified alcohol; to this
add five ounces of animal boneblack,
which should first be heated, and then
boil the mixture for about five min

through filtering paper and If not fully
colorless add more boneblack and boil
again. When this has been done, run
the mixture through silk and through
altering paper. When cool, it is ready

low in his body as in any other mans.
If millfonaire's blood be impure, his
wealth can't preserve him from the skin
eruptions which usually indicate the
blood's impurity. And if either king or
millionaire wants to be cured, he has to
use the means open to the poorest person
in the land. There is no royal road to
health more than to learning.
ALL PEOPLE ARE ALIKE.
Since we are all alike, flesh and blood,
then what cures disease of flesh and
blood in one case should cure it in any
case under similar conditions. That was
the argument of the man who was bed
fast and the sequel proved it to be sound
and logical.

the skill of three of our best physicians.
All through the winter months he lay
upon his bed, suffering severely at times
with rheumatism in his limbs. While in
this condition q pamphlet containing a
description Of DR.. Pierce's remedies fell
into his banda do not remember
whether it was left at the door or came

of his sitting up in bed and reading It

cure rheumatism but diseases in general
which have their cause in an impure

Attempts to Rescue His Son Who Is

Hazelton, Pa, Aug. 26.-August
Sheuch, aged tifty-six years, a special
policeman in the service of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company, was assaulted
and stabbed on the outskirts of the
city while attempting to rescue his
son, William Sheuch, a nonunion
workman, employed at the company's
No. 40 colliery, from a mob of about
5000 strikers, who had gathered from
all parts of the Hazelton district on
the roads leading from the mine, to
Illustrate the plans of the company for
a partial resumption Of operations
with a nonunion force of 250 hands.
William Sheuch, who lives in this
city, walked from his home toward
the colliery and thus fell into the
hands of the pickets. When Sheuch's
father rushed to his aid the mob set
upon the elder Sheuch, who was final.
~ rescued by mine foreman and re.
moved to the miners hospital.
Sheuch was stabbed in the breast
and on each hip, kicked in the abdo-
men and struck on the head with a
stone. The effort to prevent work at
the mine was successful.
The report of resumption at the
Cranberry colliery of A. Pardee &
Co. caused about 500 men to gather
near the mine, but no attempt was
made to start work.

BELIEVE BOY WAS MURDERED
pa Soto Citizens Are Hunting Body Of
Horse Traders Assistant.

Horse Traders Assistant.
De Soto, Mo-, Aug. 26.-Nearly one
hundred citizens of the neighborhood
three miles east of here, on the Vale
mines road, are up in arms over the
supposed murder of seventeen-year-
old boy named George, who is strange
ly missing. A posse has been search
ing the woods and the surrounding
country for three days for his body.
Charles Fulkerson, James Harring-
ton, horse traders, and Harry, the
latter's foIrteen-year-old son, have
been arrested in connection with the
case. George worked for Fulkerson.
Fulkerson is held on a charge of muir.
der without bail, but Harrington and
his son, who we're only charged with
being accessories, have been released
on bond.
The boys family name is not known.
Fulkerson says he employed the boy
three months ago at Kennett, Mo-, and
since then he had been travelling with
him in their covered wagon. The boy
has been missing since Thursday
night and the citizens believe that
during a quarrel over wages he was
murdered and his body hidden. Har
rington asserts that Fulkerson tooh
the boy into the woods and came bach
without him. Fulkerson denied that
he killed the boy. Fulkerson is. sos,
he killed the boy. Excitement is run
ming high and threats Of lynchine
have been made.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 26.-One per-
son is dead and seven are injured,
one of whom may die, as a result of an
unusual accident here yesterday. A
Jackson Mound Park street car was
stopped by the breaking of the trolley
wire, and the wire flew around the
car like a whip, the noise causing a
panic. The passengers made a mad
rush for the rear door and Conductor
Jones was swept off the rear plat
form by the frantic rush of men and
women. The first passengers out fell
in heap on the ground and those fol-
lowing continued to leap on the pile.
When finally the mass was separated,
Mrs. Newton e. Morris was found
dead. Mrs. F. M. Watson may die.
