WORD THAT is ovERwoRkEp.
Old Magazine Shows Abuse That 10
Very Common,


An old magazine has the following
specimen of the abuse of common
word:
l got on horseback within ten min
utes after | received your letter. When
| got to Canterbury | got a chaise for
town. But | got wet through before
got to Canterbury. and have got such
a cold as | shall not be able to get
rid of in hurry. | got to the treasury
about noon. but first of all got shaved
and drest
l soon got into the secret of getting
memorial before the board. but
could not get an answer then; how
ever I got intelligence from the mes
senger that should most likely get
one next morning. AS soon as l got
back to my inn, | got my supper and
got to bed. 1t was long before l got
to sleep.
When I got up in the morning I
got my breakfast, and then got myself
drest that l might get out in time, to
get an answer to my memorial. AS
soon as | got it got into the chaise
and got home by o'clock.

The Grand Old Hartford.

Those who delight in war and blood
shed, with their accompaniment Of
thrilling stories of heroic deeds, or
those, even, who would have all inter-
national and domestic controversies
settled by arbitration have reason to
rejoice that when Congress, a few
years ago. had inserted provision in
the naval Appropriation bill that re-
pairs to all wooden vessels should be
discontinued, it excepted the famous
old ships. Hartford and Kearsarge.
Since then the kearsarge has met the
fate OF SO many other ships, having
been wrecked on a reef in the Carib-
bean sea. But the old Hartford, in
commission, with her officers and
crew on board and in their distinctive
and fascinating, uniforms and the ship
with her lofty and symmetrical masts
and spars and her sails furled, and
every rope in place, has been most
interesting TO visitors during her re-
cent visit to the navy yard She is
now on the records as doing duty in
the coast squadron and has left the
navy yard and gone to Annapolis.
The old ship is a different looking
vessel, so far as the interior is con-
cerned from the one which Farragut
commanded at the battles or the
Mississippi river in 1862, and at Mobile

The Man Who Grows on You.

Your most delightful acquaintance
is the man who grows on you. You
know people in plenty who do not gain
in your appreciation; every time you
meet them they seem more shallow
and more petty than before. Indeed.
there are times when your discoveries
of inner character within the circle
OF your associations run SO much to
paltriness that you feel in danger of
being compelled to discount all human
nature as deceiving sham. But the
man who grows on you saves you from
cynicism. Every day you are finding
in him some factor Of manhood that
you had not expected every day he
proves in new test to have resources
of strength upon which you have not
counted in your estimate of him.

Dance. Of Fijian Girls.

'Dancing?" said the old traveller
scornfully. You folks at home, with
your two-cent waltzes and polkas don't
know what real dancing is. You should
see the girls dance in Fiji as l have
seen them.
They call their dances 'mekes,' and
the best of them all is the wave
meke. A lot of pretty girls, in two or
three rows, act the movements of the
se:. as it rolls in upon the reefs.
First of all, they bend down in uni
SOC and sweep the ground slowly with
their hands, waving their fingers in
order to represent the little wavelets
fecked by the wind. Then they sway
their bodies to and fro to show the
long roll of the tropical wave: and
presently their figures rise and fall as
TO the breakers. The action of the
dance becomes more and more violent

Bay in 1864. And yet although ther.
is little left of the old ship beyond her
keel and frame, she has not lost her
outward identity, and any of those
who were familiar with her in the
days of the civil war would recognize
her now. She was originally steam
vessel, Or sloop-of-war, of 1900 tons
displacement and was built at Boston
in 1883 She has the same graceful
and symmetrical lines that she pre-
scented on that hot summer day when
she led the wooden fleet past the guns
of Fort Morgan, in 1864, at the battle
of Mobile Bay, when Farragut won an
other of his great victories and coined
the phrase that has gone down into
history, when he called out to the
commander of the Brooklyn (who had
hauled his ship out of the line when
he saw one of the monitors go down
by an explosion of torpedo). Damn
the torpedoes: go ahead" The ia
nous old ships have all gone except
the Hartford, and she is destined to
remain afioat so long as she can be
kept in seaworthy condition, so as
to remind the present and future gen
erations of the kind of ships and the
manner of men their ancestors were
in the days when men and ships were
needed to preserve the nation.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications they reach the dis
eased portion Of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an nhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube.
When this tube is iniamed you have a rumbng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result. and unless the in
fammaton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by

A Memory.

The Night walked down the sky
With the moon In her hand:
By the light of that yellow lantern
l saw you stand. a.
The hair that swept your shoulders
Was yellow too.
Your feet as tlrey touched the grasses
Shamed the dew.
The Night wore all the jewels,
And you wore none,
But your gown had the odor of lilies
Drenched with sun.
And never was Eve of the Garden
Or Mary the Maid
More pure than you as you stood there
Bold. yet afraid.
And the sleeping birds woke. trembling
And the folded flowers were aware.
And my sense was faint with the fra
grant
Gold Of your hair.
And eur lips found ways of speaking
What words cannot say,
TIL hundred nests gave music,
And the East was gray.

Driller Campbell was in Independence
TO-DAY getting additional tools to clean
out the well, and was expected home this
evening. 1t will be remembered that the
rope broke Tuesday afternoon while pull
ing out the tools, which had been hook

spear, steel shaft etc, had been raised
20 q distance of eighteen feet when this
accident occurred, which resulted in los
ting additional tools and some rope
~AkS matters now stand in the we'll all
the} lost tools are jamned together and
we41ged into the hole SO tightly that they
cannot be pulled out without taking the

is to bring will be used to unite the 2oc
fe{et of 6-inch casing at the bottom to a
S-4nch casing which will be put in from
the top. When this is done the casing
