till his patient needed him again.
1t was weary day. The intense
pain from the wound and the high
fever from the poison in his blood
kept the poor fellow In delirium till
evening, when the Duke rode up with
the Fort doctor. lingo appeared us

his horse to give him rub and q feed.
Meantime the doctor, who was of
the army and had seen service, was
examining his patient. He grew more
and more puzzled as he noted the va
rious symptoms. Finally he broke out:
What have yon been doing to hin?
Why is he in this condition? This

The Duke was standing up before
the doctor during this storm smiling
slightly. All Mt once the smile faded
out, and he pointed to the bed. Bruce
was sitting up quiet and steady. He
stretched out his hand to the Duke.

He paused. Perhaps 1t may be--who

The Duke bent over him md laid
him back on the pillow, saying:
Thanks, old chap. You're good stuff.
I'll not forget. Just keep quiet and

cool, firm hand over the hot brow Of
the man looking up at him with love in
his eyes, and in few moments Bruce
fell asleep. Then the Duke lifted him

his coolest tone:

The Intelligent coapositor. one of the
kind that figures in many an nnecdote,
worked on an Arkansas paper at a
period when n we'll known novelist was
editor. One day the printer undertook
to set up the word '.doughnut." He
spelled 1t ''donut."
''See here" said the novelist don't
you know how to spell 'doughnutY
You've misspelled It here"
The Intelligent compositor came over
and gazed at the proof and scratched
his head In perplexity.

He Lectures at Bold Valley on the Progressive Man @
[copyright, 1903, by c. B. Lewis.1

Copyright 1903, by c. E. Lewis.1
 MA ITIzENS of Bald Alley-With- r A out waiting to express my sur NMuus% prise and delight over the fact
 that twenty eight citizens of this progressive, go ahead town have bought tickets and are now seated be- fore noe, plunge at once into the sub ject of my lecture by exhibiting to you picture of Adam.
 This was not drawn from life, but you can depend upon its being so near the original that Eve would hello at 1t if she were among the audience,
 Adam, as we all know, was the first man. Nature had got through with the rhinoceros, the kangaroo and the dodo and wanted to produce something a lit tie liner. She therefore handed out Adam.
 As you hare behold him he is nine feet tall, weighs 300 pounds and has hands like hams and feet like wash boards. His shoulders are bumped up to his ears, his knees sprung inward, and 1t would take ten porous plasters to cover the length of his back
 He was the only thing like it on the face of the earth at the time, but how Eve could have fallen in love with him is beyond my time. ask you to partic- ularly observe his countenance. It is cross between a bulldog and buffalo. and he betrays no sentiment beyond fe- rocity.
 AS near as we can make out, Adam held the boards alone for about thirty years, and then theNe came a second man. Notice natures progress, She had reduced the weight and bulk and shortened up the length. The ferocious expression of Adams face has been softened up in this. Sentiment had be- gun to find lodgment in the human breast. This second man didn't go around uprooting trees and bowling elephants over, nor did he live on raw meat alone. He built hut and sat down and whistled and had thoughts, He is lop shouldered, knockkneed and cock eyed and be couldn't have found his way from Jonesville to Hobson's Corners, but he was an improvement on Adam. ....s..
 Tn due time the third man came along, and the artist has done him full credit. His length Is down to seven feet, and his bulk is no longer that of

 '"The only way' to beat eggs for a cake is with a fork.
 Arrowroot will give a more transpar- ent sauce than cornstarch.
 Always cook eggs slowly and at a comparatively low temperature.
 Spices should permeate foods as in- cense does the atmosphere, delicate, impalpable and as indescribable as they are requisite. ...
 When apples have to be cored, but served whole, 1t is advisable to core before peeling them, as they are then less liable to break.
 Orientals. who understand the nice ties of eating from a hygienic stand point much better than we of the occi- dent, always take salt with their cheese.

SgS6ssa roe Judge
 A tOofe From Sleep

There was no mistake about it, the judge was asleep The embarrassed young lawyer, who had reached the telling point of his argument, spoke in higher key, and then raised his voice until the walls of the room reverher ated. But the judge slept on.
 The court officers were blind to the young lawyers hints. At last, in des peration, he turned to his opponent.
 'Now, MT. Grubber, you see tue deli cate situation am in, and there's only one way out Unfortunately haven't any books with me. but if you don't mind am Soing to knock over that pile of yours"
 With well directed gesture the young lawyer struck the books, and they, as well as the chair on which they had been standing, went down with terrific crash just as his aston ished opponent leaped to his feet and exclaimed:
 'But do most emphatically objectr'
 And the judge, without raising his bead from the position it had been oc, cupying for the last fifteen minutes, re- piled with all his wonted dignity:

 While my lecture may seem super ficial to some, the thinkers will discov- CT the moral lying beneath the surface and profit by 1t. It is with the kindest feeling on my part that say to one and all Of you, be honest-be truthful-be upright. Don't wallop your children or larrup your wives You may be tempt cd to lie forty times per day, but don't do 1t. Other liars are sure to catch you at 1t
 There are daily temptations to steal, but keep your hands off other peoples corn. By stealing with vigor and in- dustry you may get a few dollars ahead of the game but along comes the sher- iff some day, and where are you? Don't loaf about There is a delicious satis- faction in sitting down In the shade of a grocery and whiting a pine shingle and trying to outlie everybody in the crowd, but it doesn't buy potatoes for next winter.
 Don't poison your nefghbor's we'll, shoot his hogs, steal his wife OF burn hiS harm iva of paano win all and let your motto be, Onward and up ward"
 This closes the regular lecture, and if there is anything more to say I will say it after the hat has been passed around and returned to me. I may pa- renthetica1ly and pathetically observe that the man who don't chip in atleast 10 cents had better adopt the motto of Backward and downward"

 Ecfap, tfA C.

The girls father was physician, not in the least given to sentiment, and he did not want his daughter to marry. So the young fellows had rather hard time of it. One day a particularly reckless chap sent her a song entitled There's a Sigh Tn the aHeart.''
 By some chance it fell into the hands of the father.
 "Who ever heard of such wretchedly unscientific stuff as this?" he said.
 So he wrote on the outside this mes- sage and sent it back:

a Missouri corncrib. You will notice that his ears are the size of fapjacks, his nose stuck on most any way aud his toes turn in, but you will also ob- serve the human expression of the face
 You can see sentiment there. You can bet money that he smiled in his dreams and cussed when things went wrong during the day. have had men say of this picture that they could trace the sentiments of love in it, and that the original was probably looking around for an eligible party with some cash or cattle back of her.
 My fourth picture represents a well known Biblical character-Cain. He has been held up to the scorn of man, kind for thousands of years because he killed his brother Abel; but do any Of us know what provocation he had! Perhaps Abel ought to have been killed long before he was. With that however, have nothing to do. I made it a rule twenty years ago not to go back beyond General Jackson's admin. istration, and sha1i Stick to it.
 simply ask you to note the i'm provement in man. The ears have been pared down and set on at a new angle the nose has some shape to it, and the chin has come up out of the neck to see what it's all about. The back is little too bumped for manly beauty, and the toes turn in too much for good football work, but let us look at the face. Even if he has killed Abel you can see 5t hp phV1t nF h1l,o vNsk roS, kh1j that he had soul in hinl-that he was something above the believing bulls and lowing cows around him. We agree that it wasn't exactly the square thing for him to kill his brother, but we will also agree that he was the only man who could travel on his shape up to that date.
 My next picture represents man fifty years later than Cain. Nature had been experimenting and learning wisdom She had reduced height and bulk again and done some pairing down. Tn fact in this picture she has produced a fairly perfect man. We of today can find fault with the length of the neck the width of the mouth and the hump in the middle of the nose, but there was no doubt that he was called per feet in his day and may have taken the prize at a beauty show
 l now call your attention to series of pictures bringing man down from the garden of Eden to the year of our Lord. Nature progressed slowly, but surely. There was heap of tinkerina ana toucn1ng up, put she nau patience IL Al N-AA getting in it's work, and mems faces nc longer looked like O pound of butter or q platter. Improvement did not stop al the year l, however. Nature con. tinued to improve and alter right along to thirty-f1ve years ago, when she was satisfied with her work and sat back in her rocking chair to rest.
