DIED.

Some two weeks ago there camo
with her FIVE small children to tho
home of Q. II. Webb a sad, poor
woman, who had lost her husband,
Mr.. Fossett, less than a year ago.
Earle, the eldest, a delicate lad Of
lG, was sick when they came, and
rapidly grew worse until his death
Sunday, July H. He was small
end frail physically, but the pride
sud comfort Of his mothers heart,
and seemed the idol of his young
brothers and sisters The poor
mother was frantic with grief, said
her troubles were more than she
could bear, that to have her eldest
thus taken was indeed heart break
ing. Poor widowed stricken heart,
her burdens, as we view them, do
seem heavy, indeed, but we must
submissively bowto the willof Him
who "doeth all things WE'LL re-
membering that "all things work
together for good to them that love
God" Mrs. Fossett took her son
to Rushing's Greek for burial, and
she with her children will remain
in that community with relatives.
May she find a pleasant home with
kind friends, is the wish of the
writer. ~

J. G. McKelvey died at his home
a few miles north of town Tuesday
morning, after an illness of about
aweek. For several years Mr.. Nc
Kelvey had been in bad health, and
for the past few months had been
very feeble at times. In the death
of Mr.. McKelvey, Benton County
loses one of her best, and most
highly respected citizens. His en-
tire life has been spent on the farm,
and from him many of the young
men Of that community have learn
ed the first principles on which
they have based their study and
practice of high, moral, christian
life. He was man of great piety,
who had the respect and confidence
of all who knew him, and the news
of his death was received here with
many expressions of regret. Sur
yiving him are a wife and three
children. The remains were laid
to rest Wednesday at the Smith
burying-ground.

A False Alarm,

From Mexico City there comes in a
private letter this story of how the re-
NOR became current there in April OF
the destruction of New York:
ION the afternoon of the third inst.
there was a rumor here of terrible
earthquake and cyclone in New York.
Everybody talked about it and each
had worse tale to tell; half New
York was destroyed with 100000 peo-
pie. Think of my anxiety. l was
afraid to telegraph. At last l made up
my mind to do so, but when reached
the cable Office they showed me a tel
egram just received in reply to an in
quiry which read: Not a word Of
truth in it, I was greatly relieved.
1t seems that two Spaniards who live
here and who had been on a visit re-
Gently returned to New York that day.
They were known among their friends
here as Earthquake and Cyclone
and are besides great eaters. One of
their friends in New York telegraphed
to friend here:
Earthquake and Cyclone arrived;
have swallowed up half New York

thing. ''-Philadelphia Public Ledger

Hetty Green's Retort.

Mrs. Hetty Green of New York, even
in her youth, had way of taking care
of her own. A Vermont neighbor re-
lates that while she was living on her
New England farm she had for a
neighbor a particularly unneighborly
old bachelor.
One day while the threshers were at
work on hes wheat crop the winnow-
ing fan broke and she sent over In
great haste to borrow her neighbours
machine
Certainly" was the reply, Mrs.
Green may use the fan, but make it a
rule never to allow my implements to
be taken from my farm. The machine
is in the barn, and she may bring her
grain there to be winnowed," an offer
it was manifestly impossible to ae-
cept.
Mrs. Green had not forgotten the inn
piled refusal when the old bachelor
sent his hired man over one morning
to borrow her sidesaddle for the use
Of visiting relative.
II shall be only too glad to favor
him." was the word sent back by the
astute Mrs. Green, "but I never allow,
anything I own to be carried off the
farm. My saddle is hanging across a
beam in the barn loft. Tell Mr..
Browne to send his aunt over. She
may ride there as long as she likes. -

All That Was Necessary for the Viii
layers to Get Through the Winter.
The Newfoundland coast folk are
"wreckers" as we'll as fishermen-not
wreckers in the criminal sense, but
expert workmen in stripping and un-
loading the hulls that are tossed up
against the frowning cliffs. Every
fisherman can turn his hand to this
labor, which frequently pays better
than his regular vocation; and salvage
schooners find permanent employment
there with divers and hoists, recover
ing from the oozy depths the treasures
of this submarine curiosity shop.
The Newfoundlander of the southern
shore counts on "a few wrecks" every
year to help him maintain his family.
"How will your people get along this
winter?" asked the late Mgr. Power,
Roman Catholic bishop of St. Johns,
of the Rev. Father Hennebury, the
priest at Trepassey, near Cape Race,
who was dining with him.
Every well, my lord" replied the
padre, with the help of God and few
creeks. "-McClure's Magazine.

Soundness in Market Horses.

The most important requirements
Of a market horse is "serviceable'
soundness; that is, he must have no
chronic disease that will unfit him
tor work of general nature. He
must be sound in wind and in limb,
able to do a reasonable amount OF
work without undue fatigue or prema,
ture breakdowns. The majority OF
the horses sold from great market
go to the city trade and are com.
PEELED to do their work on hard, un-
yielding pavements, pulling heavy
loads, or developing speed that is an
even greater strain on the feet and
legs. The average period Of useful.
ness on city streets of a horse that
was sound at the start is not more
than five years, and it is manifestly
evident that this time will be ma.
terially decreased if he begins this
work in an unsound condition. Broken
wind, sidebones, unsound hooks, and
all the various other Ills that a horse
Is heir to should be strenuously
guarded against as they greatly d.
minish his value.-Bulletin 81, Bureau

The Long Hog.

A Canadian writer on swine says 4:
Some of us seem to think when we
see pig stretching out and growing,
and not getting fat, that it is an ex.
pensive feeder. But this is not neces
sarily the case. It does not neces.
sarily cost a cent more to produce a
pound of gain in a pig of the right
bacon type than it does in any other
type. I have tried to prove it., but
could not demonstrate that the bacon
type of hog is expensive to feed.
dnd it is an economical producer OF
bacon. There is no proof that it costs
more to produce the bacon hog. II
you get the right type and have a
healthy, growthy, thrifty pig, that will
stretch out instead of getting fat and
dumpy, you will have a hog that will
feed economically. There may be
some difference in regard to their
suitability for pen feeding and gra
zing. I think some of the best gra
GERS are the American breeds, and
possibly the Berkshires. That is my
experience so far as we have gone
but: we have not followed it up very
thoroughly yet

To Keep Glasses On.

isn't it strange said Mr.. Burton,
while in reminiscent mood, "how dis
coveries are made? OF course, that
is general statement, but to the case
in question. I wear glasses, as you
know, but I found great trouble in
keeping them on. They were contin-
ually following the laws Of gravita-
ton and falling to the floor. The
trouble was that I did not have a
bridge of size, and I spent money and
time experimenting with different
kinds Of springs and claps and nose
pieces, but all proved failures. Now,
the other night I had an idea CHATS
all right, am guilty of an idea once
in a whitley that if I would put some
powdered rosin on my nose that would
hold 'em for while, so I accordingly
hunted up my friend, the violinist, and,
getting some rosin, made a test. Was
it a success? Why,I can turn hand
spring backward and those glasses ara
still doing business at the old stand"

Indian Babies.

Babies cry very little in India-they
obey spiritual law as flower. The
lotus bud, lying on stone bench in a
dirty room, sucks it's toe and seems
dreaming of the pranks Of Baby
Krishna, and solving problems of the
universe. AS it grows older it is very
timid and shy in the presence of it's
elders. It feels the religious awe
around it and does not break out into
boisterous sport when all seems at
prayer.
But there is much love in India, and
these humble households seem very
happy. They are all in all to each
other and seek nothing outside either
in society or amusement. Beautiful
character comes from obedience to law
and not from lawlessness. In India
children are the GROWING gift of life
1t is a horror to be hildless.-Edmund
Russell in Everybody's Magazine.

Many people have tried the food
Grape-Nuts simply with the idea of

''For two years I had been sufferer

success until six months ago my wife
purchased box of Grape-Nuts, think
ing it would be a desirable cereal for
the summer months.

enchanted with the delightful flavor of
the food and to my surprise began to

CHAPTER VI.

Now when the sun began to sink
toward the west, Namarah called to
her maidens, and arrayed herself in
garments richly wrought and beauti-
full, as one that keepeth a great feast
Her robe was all of white, embroid-
cred with gold, and the encrusted folds
fell heavily about the splendid curves
of her most noble figure. In her loos-
ened hair were twisted chains of gold
that wrapped it in and out, and made
a light and darkness beautiful to see
About her shoulders, which her robe
left bare, she wrapped a scarf Of
golden tissue, through which her
cleaning neck and arms shone fair as
moonlight seen through sunbeams.
And when the maidens and all the
household of Jephthah wondered to see
her so adorned, she spake, and said
unto them:
II go to meet my father Jephthah
and his host returning from victory"
And when they asked her:
How knowest thou that he hath
won the day, and is returning?'
She made answer, as the saying was:
"A little bird hath told me-"
And they knew not how true indeed
were the words she spake
And as the sun sank lower and lower
and it began to draw toward evening,
behold, there fell upon the ears of Ma
marah and her maidens the distant
sound of tramping horses and anon
the notes Of a trumpet.
'They be notes of victory; even as
thou hast said" spake one Of the maid
ems, while Namarah stood and listened,
breathless and half troubled, like an
image of too perfect Joy. And Mama
rah said:
II will even go forth to meet them"
Whereat her maidens wondered, for
1t was her custom to await her father
within the house, a feeling of timidity
ever preventing her from appearing
before the eyes of the soldiers. But
now there showed in all her bearing
very noble pride, so that she looked
no longer shy and trembling maiden.
but woman and the daughter Of a
conqueror. There was most rich
hue of roses on her cheeks, and her
great eyes blazed and sparkled, so that
Namarah looked that day a being Of
such glorious beauty. as none who
looked on her had ever seen before.
