AN AUGUST NOON.

glare or sunshine on the mute, high hills
A sense of loneliness, as though, being set
So far above the lower world they hold
Some silent and unspeakable regret;
A long road fringed with ragged dusty
weeds,
Winding through gravelly ways, DER
bridge, and where
The pleasant orchard by the farmhouse old
Guards its rich fruitage with jealous
care;
Desolate fields bereft of sheaf, and shorr
Of beauty, waiting for noontide heat to
pass,
Waiting for cooling dews to still the song
Of the shrill locust in the sunburne d
grass;
A silence in the forest, where the thrush
Takes midday ease, where beach and
birches seem
To catch the soothing spirit of the hour
And rest, unconscious, in some day-sweet
dream;
A glory in the garden sunfiowers lift
Round faces to the sun; Rail-clad and
bold,
A dragon-fy skins DER the garden beds.
A beetle drowses on some marigold;
All these-and round them all, the fervid
day,
And over all, sky on whose blue sea
Are phantom ships that drift, and drift,
And lose themselves in far immensely.

EASES WORK OF HORSES.
French Woman Makes a Bequest and
Animals Are Helped on the
IncIines.

By the bequest of Nine. Chasiegross,
a horse has been stationed in charge
where the inclines are very steep. All
cartmen coming up the grades with
heavy loads and finding themselves in
need of aid may have the extra horse
by paying ten centimes-two cents
or even nothing at all if the horses
pulling the cart are in desperate need
and their driver has no money. The
cartmen who rent "the horses of the
reinforcement" as they are called, will
be given ticket, and the one who has
the greatest number of these at the
end of year will receive reward.

RECORD OF THE PAST.

The best guarantee of the future is
the record of the past, and over fifty
thousand people have publicly testified
that Doan's Kidney Pills have cured
them of numerous kidney ills, from
common backache to dangerous dia-
betes, and all the attendant annoy
ances and sufferings from urinary dis
orders. They have been cured to stay
cured. Here is one case:
Samuel J. Taylor, retired carpenter,
residing at 312 South Third ST., Goshen,
Ind, says: "On the 25th day of Au-
gust, 1897, I made an affidavit before
Jacob c. Mann, notary public, stating
my experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills. I had suffered for thirty years
and was compelled at times to walk
by the aid of crutches, frequently
passed gravel and suffered excruciat-
ingly. I took every medicine on the
market that I heard about, and some
gave me temporary relief. / began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and the
results I gave to the public in the state
ment above referred to. At this time,
on the 10th day of July, 1902, make
this further statement, that during
the five years which have elapsed /
have had no occasion to use either
Doan's Kidney Pills or any other med
icine for my kidneys. The cure effect
ed was permanent one"

medicine which cured Mr.. Taylor will

A Russian who is now a porter in
hotel in Vladisvostok served out a
sentence of 20 years imprisonment
in Siberia for numbering the in
habitantss of whole village in order
to avenge an insult that had been
offered by the marriage of his fiancee
to another man. According to his
ideas and those of the class to which
he was born he could hardly have
acted otherwise without becoming

Man has just learned to flee from
the notwithstanding mosquito, and
now, if he could, he would teach pear
trees to avoid the blight-carrying
honey-bee. Experiments conducted
in California, and recently reported
to to the Botanical Society of Amer
lea, indicate that bees are active
agents in the spread of pear blight
ut the period when the trees are in
bloom. Pear-trees protected with
coverings, after the analogy of mos
quito nets, which prevented bees
from reaching their blossoms, were
unaffected with blight.

usually came up to her in quick, light
bounds. She would not have thought
it was Virginia, even if she had heard.
The steps came slowly along the hall
to the door, and Virginia looked in.
It was then she found out Salome's
boarded little secret, and the discov-
cry sent her to her room in tempest
of woe.
''She's making things for Miss
Goldthwaite's store; I've seen them
there!" sobbed Virginia. But I never
thought-oh, never thought Salome
made them! How could have known?
She's been making them right along.
That's why she's always so tired when

Little by little things grew clearer
for Virginia. At the end of her sob
bing vigil two things stood out in
black relief-there wasn't enough
money, and so Salome had to work;
and Prof. Gregg would probably have
her expelled. The first thought broke
Virginia's heart, and the second would
break Salome's.

had shaken her head scornfully. Apol-
ogize to Prof. Gregg? Never! She
had meant no harm to him. She had
to look at him, did she not? And
when she looked, could she help draw
ing him? Could anybody?
That was at ten. At eleven Virginia
was uncertain and miserable. At
twelve she sprang out of bed. 81

Salome and l are in the scales. I'm
up so high it makes me light-headed
and Salome-Salome' down so low she
bumps! shall apologize"
But it was hard-only Virginia knew
how hard.
Afterward she remembered but one
happening in that recitation. That
one would stand out clearly in her
memory till she was an old woman.
She could always hear the calm tread
of Prof. Gregg's boots across the room
to her.
Your book, Miss Booth. Pardon me
for retaining it. WANTED to compare
certain portions of it with the original.

On the next day the recitation
dragged out it's length. The girls were
all dull and absent-minded from SYM
pathy. Georgia clutched one of Vir-
ginia's hands in her own, and breathed
alternate encouragement and defiance
in whisper.
But at the end of the hour Virginia
cast off the friendly fingers and sat
up straight.
Go out, all of you'll" she whispered.
MY last will and testament is: Never
make faces!' Take me as a warning.

Miss Booth will remain for a mo-
ment," a quiet voice was saying, as
the class was dismissed.
For all the world as if he said:
Miss Booths hour has come!''
groaned Georgia, beneath her breath
"Good-by, poor dear!"
Virginia turned and faced the quiet
young man. He did not give her an
instant to speak.
Miss Booth, l have discovered some
thing" he began.

young ladies has most remarkable

1t is this, Miss Booth. My friend, the
managing editor of the Express, wants
me to write up the evening sessions
OF the labor convention. just about to
open. The best speakers, he tells me,

first little attempt, followed by other
successes leading slowly, steadily up

the success had come!
But now, unseeing, she only stood
there in the quiet of the big, empty
room and hung her head. She only
looked up in meek, earnest contrition
at her friend.
"Well, did he scold you dreadfully.
