Two Shepherdstown boys, Harry
Mundey and Robert Arthur, have
made a start in the world on their own
hook. Sunday night oflast week they
left for parts unknown, determined to
make their fortunes before they re-
turned home. Letters have since been
received from them by their parents,
in which it is intimated that accumu-
latinp riches is a trihe slower than
was expected, but they are still full
of hope. Bob is in the vicinity of
Connellsville, where he has relatives,
and Mundey has place in hotel in
Pittsburg. We reckon they will be
doing the prodigal son act before long,
but there is doubt about their share

LIFE.

The poets exclamation 80 Life! I
feel thee bounding in my VEINS" is
joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu-
nate. They do not live, but exist for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be well and strong-to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary duties of
thc day, and 20 retire not overcome by
them-to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made
thousands Of people, men and women,
we'll and strong, has accomplished
great work, bestowing the richest
blessings, and that medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. The weak, rundown, or
debilitated, from any cause, should not
fail to make it. 1t builds up the whole
system, changes existence into life,
aud makes life more abounding. We
are glad to say these words in its ia
vcr to the readers of our columns.

SMALL FARMING PAYS.

The experience of man who leaves
business to get back to the land and
make living posses peculiar interest,
especially if he is successful. The fol-
lowing narrative Of New Hampshire
man given the Claremont Eagle" is
case of bringing up the production Of
small farm to profitable basis:
l was city man, but five years ago
my business was so dull l thought l
would try farming. l had very little
money, but have been successful. l
have paid for my farm and own all my
stock and tools and think if all farm
ers did as have done they would not
be preaching that farming doesn't pay.
l began the first year to work out
for my farmer neighbor, but soon
found this would not pay. and all
the men I worked for were no better
off than when we started. l thought:
II have farm as we'll as they. Why
can't l get living at work for myself
if they do and can afford to hire help?
After the first year l began to work
for myself and found better results.
have small farm of ffty-seven acres,
which cuts double the hay i. did five
years ago, think man can do bet
ter on small farm than he can on a
big farm. for he cannot cultivate the
whole of a big farm, and one acre of
good land is better than five acres of
poor.
If farmers would work as hard for
themselves as they haveto when work
my for others, they would get rich. do
all my own work and hire man only
few days in haying. | have kept
dairy of six cows, young stock, and
poultry and raise between 400 and 500
bushels of onions year besides va
riety Of other vegetables. | find the
onions are most profitable.
| think it unwise for man when
be starts on farm TO begin fixing the
buildings. He should do it gradually
as he can afford it then he will be more
apt to hold his own.
There are good many ways of tell
ing good farmer from shiftless one
by the buildings, the bushes on the
walls and line fences, the apple trees
untrimmed, making it impossible to
NOW within fifteen Or twenty feet of
them.

A few weeks ago one Of the veterans
of this noble army Of actors, was mus
tered out by the great commander.
Joseph Alfred Smith, who Lad been
the Dean for fourteen years, was born
in Philadelphia in 1880. He began
his record at the Boston Museum, and
was said to he the best walking gen.
tleman' of his day. He was known in
the profession as "Gentleman joe"

She nestled her head against his breast
and drew in her breath with q long
sigh, like q weary child. "It does not
matter, Harry, whether we are rescu-
ed or not, as long as we are together"
she murmurcd.
Stoddard was so surprised that he
was in danger of falling from the boul-
der down among the cattle. He soon
rallied, however.
"Oh, you darling. You don't mean
it p he cried, straining her to him.

"If you hadn't been a man, You

what does it matter whether they sit
on velvet sofa in stylish parlor, or
on a rugged boulder surrounded by
believing bovines p it is one and the
same, for they are usually Indifferent
to everything but themselves.
And when, an hour later, half of
the garrison, headed by the excited
major-who had discovered their peri
lous position from the lookout tower
came galloping down the valley and
scattered the herd right and left, they
found these two smiling and happy.
They even evinced some reluctance
about coming down to earth.

The Lieutenant's Wooing.

II there was one lining Lieutenant
Stoadaid disliked, it was chasing
Apachcs. lie would not have held so
great an aversion to that occupation
if there had been occasionally chance
of a snirlnish with the redskins. or
even a running fight, for Stoddard was
no coward. despite tie fact that he
was the handsolncst man at Ft l.,
and sp mt as much time and pains with
his toilet as an Eastern man of fashion;
but it Was tircsome to know that YOU
were only to drive the sneaking vii
iians across the Mexican border with
out even taking u stray slot at them;
and then riding across that baZ ng,
sandy country was trying to man
who vas prond of his clear complexion,
and had a horror of an alkali-hieacIled
mustache.
Consequt ntly, as the lieutenant and
his men rode homcwa ard one day after
having made caricature raid on a
band OF Indians (they-the Indians
had stampeeded bunch of steers he
longing at the Fort and barbecucd a
few of the fattest ones), be was in a
bad humor with life in general, for the
sun had caused his handsome straight
nose TO peal in an unsightly manner,
and it would be weeks before lie could
gaze into his mirror with any thing
like complacency. And he was filled
with CONSERVATION and softly cursed
his luck when he learned that during
bis absence the majors niece from
Boston had arrived to spend the sea-
son at the garrison. He skipped up
to'his room and spent an hour brush
ing his uniform, and trying to remove
the sunburn from his neck, before lie
ventured among the officers and their
families, only to be told that the major
had taken his niece, three of the women
belonging at the fort and Captain Du
Bach out in an old express wagon for
view of the Surrounding country.
So, after giving an account of his trip,
lie ATE his dinner in gloomy silence,
and afterwards sat upon the vclanda
in front of the officers quarters, smok-
ing and su!king, until, weary with his
long ride. he fell asleep
He was aroused late in the afternoon
BY Mrs. Mason S words: That is Lieu
tenant Stoddard Isn't he Handsomely
Then followed silence during which
Stoddard felt that some one was in
spccting him, and he had hard work
to keep his eyes closed.
''He isn't bad looking said an in
different voice, after time. Stoddard
could endure it 70 longer. He opened
his eyes and found himself face to face
with Mabel Wainwright, the major
niece. She was gazing at him with
langud interest, ust as when her uncle
had called her attention to them, she
had looked at the towering mountains
behind the fort, and the beautiful val
ley which lay like Il great, grassy,
cliff surrounded, boulder islanded- lake
before it.
"We were looking at you and talk
ing about you,'' said Mrs. Mason, with
that easy familiarity to which people
shut in from the world become accus-
toned. She was the surgeons wife
and made no secret of her admiration
for the lieutenant's good looks.

SUPERSTITIONS AT SEA.

1t is 4 mistake, according to a well
known young naval officer, to suppose
that the sailors of our present navy
are free from superstition. IL remem-
ber,' he said, "only five years ago
when was in the training snip that
the old salts there were as full of old
superstitious beliefs as any Of their
ancestors could have been.
"When at sea in dead calm, the
swaying of the masts in the motionless
atmosphere sometimes caused a pecu-
liar wailing sound like distant cries.
This, the old seamen assured US, was
the moaning of the souls of sailors
lost at sea.
"Another one Of their pet beliefs is
that all sailors that die by drowning
are at once transformed into Cape
Horn pigeons, or as they are also cal
led, Mother Carey's chickens. Off
GERS are supposed to find their rein
carnations in sea gulls and news, while
the big, solitary albatrosses, following
the wake of passing vessels, are the
souls OF captains who have gone down
with their ships. These are the rea
sons why sailors never kill these
birds

No "Force Bill" About It. Says
Crumpacker.
RESOLUTION OF INVESTIGATION
Should Representation he Reduced
1t Would Go Far Toward Set.
thing the Race Question.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Representatiye
Crumpacker of Indiana, author of the
resolution presented to the republican
caucus Monday night and to be further con-
sidered at a caucus next Monday night.
authorizes this statement as to the gen
eral purposes Of the movement, to cor
rect any impression that it is in the ma
ture of "force bill''::
The resolution submitted to the caucus was
designed to secure full and thorough inyes-
tigation Of the suffrage question, not only in
the south, but in all the states that have i'm
posed material restrictions upon manhood suf-
frage. There is general belief that a num-
Ter of states have disfranchsed a large por-
ton of their citizens; that the colored popu-
lation, by the operation of state laws is en-
tirely eliminated a political quantity and
yet it counts in apportioning representatives
among the states. 1t is the general, belief
that the southern states have at least thirty
five representatives in the house and the cleo
floral college resting upon fictitious basis.
If this be found to be true in fact. and
representation be reduced accordingly as the
constitution imperatively requires, it would
go long way towards settling the race ques-
ton. Such method would have none of the
characteristics of force BILL It would re-
quire no force for its execution. Dsfran-
chised states would suffer a reduction of DO
litical power which they could regain by edu-
eating their children and admitting them to
the privilege of the ballot The whole Ques-
ton would rest with those states But con-
gress is asked simply to authorize thorough
investigation OF the whole question through a
| committee specially appointed and equipped
for that purpose, and when the facts as they
really exist are laid before congress and the
country, such action may then be taken as
the situation requires.
