When a boy turns his bulging pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity
and variety Of articles he has slowed
away. Odd lengths of strings, marbles,
a horse-chestnut, top brass nails, hick-
Ory nuts, an apple, and many more art
icles are earned by this snapper up of
unconsidered trihes." We think the
collection must be hard on boys pock-
ct, and it is. But do we ever think of
the variety and miscellany of the subst-
ance we put into the pocket of the stom-
ach2 There's the apple and the nuts,
and things besides quite as indigestible
as brass nails and with no more food

When the stomach breaks down under
the strain of careless eating and irregul-
ar meals it can be perfectly and perma-
nently restored to health and strength
by the use of Doctor Pierce 8 Golden

medicine on the stomach and other or
gans of digestion and nutrition is so
marked, that relief from disease is at
once experienced, and the headaches

erruptions and other symptoms of
diseased stomach are quickly cured.
Whenever the use of laxative medicine
is indicated, use DR.. Pierces Pleasant

Discovery and assist its action by purg-
ing the bowels of foul accumulation.

1t has not yet been officially an
nounced but it is generally understood
that the Gettysburg battlefield has
been selected as the camping ground
for the n. G.. p this year. The partic-
ular spot selected is understood to be
the scene of the.famous Picket charge.
Gettysburg will prove attractive to
the Guardsmen and will doubtless
stimulate enlistments 1t has its draw
backs, however, not the least of which
is the poor railroad facilities and the
fact that the locality is usually one
of either very dusty or very muddy
These will doubtless be overlooked
because of the opportunity it will
afford the men to visit that historic
battlefield and see where flood tide of
the rebellion was and rolled back.

NEVER LEFT
THE GROUNDS

Castle Grove stately III its architeC-
ture and beautiful i'll all its surround
ings enjoys the distinction of being a
most charming country seat and yet
one would hardly fancy that the place
was beautiful enough and all the con
ditions there so nearly ideal as to hold
a person a willing captive within its
enclosure for a period of eleven years.
This is precisely what has occurred.
Eleven years ago Miss Sophia Sch
enstein, a native of Sweden, arrived
III this city from New York to fill the
position of cook at Castle Grove She
arrived on the 30 p. III. ID. l.. & w.
passenger train, and proceeded direct
to Castle Grove. From that day until
Thursday morning she never set her
foot off the grounds, although she was
at liberty at almost any time to visit
town. Her object i'll leaving the
gounds Thursday was to take the train
for New York, having severed her con
nection with Castle Grove. In CON
yersation with reporter she explain
ed that during her long term of eleven
years she found life very pleasant at
Castle Grove and had no desire to
leave the grounds. The woman seem
ed to be about middle age and fairly
Intelligent. Henceforth, she said, she
will reside with her niece in New
York. She was accompanied ON her
trip by Mrs Pauline Shillstrom, an
other attache of Castle Grove.

The sum of human knowledge will
shortly be vastly increased, temporari :
ly, when sweet girl graduates and
sturdy young men students will re-
ceive their diplomas and then the
world will gradually sink back to its
wrongs and everything will have to
be done over again at the commence
ments next Spring. 'Tis sad thought,
but one through which ray of hope
comes beaming The wonder has ever
existed at commencement time that
such small heads could carry all they
knew" " The youngsters mean well

ing panorama that opens before their
vision
1plo orme mas passed when Success
IN Life" was the main theme worked
over in different forms Now tariff
revision, the need of larger navy, ,ex-
pansion, and a score of political and
economic questions take the place of
the threadbare subjects of years ago.
This gradual development to more
sensible and more practical subjects
might be carried still further The
sweet girls might tell what they
know of the benefits to be derived
from scientific cookery, the influence
OF the mother upon the nation, the
consideration of character building as
a practical science Their many broth
ers might discuss the proper proportion
necessary of determination and ability
IN overcoming inertia, or the art of a
man earning enough to put on the table
and on his back.
Not quite so high sounding, but lust
as much an evidence of having acquir-
ed an education would theses of this
kind be. The world needs young men,
but it does not have particular use for
commencement orations aside from
the pleasure derived in hearing a
young man or woman take roseate
view of things.
