CHAPTER XIII.
THAT Girl Of Johnson's."


THAT Girl Of Johnson's,T
Dora was standing at the well at
Dolores old home with her husband,
waiting for Dolores and Charlie Green,
who had gone at the girls request TO
the opposite mountain. II was n
strange freak OF Dolores but with the
usual simple acqulescence In any wish
Of hers they had gone, and here Dora
and her husband were waiting for their
return at the girls old home.
But II was not the home OF the
girls remembrance. The garden was
In fine order and the fence well built;
no longer did the gate swing on It's
rusty. rickety hinges The enterprls-
ing chickens were scratching among
the shrubs at the back OF the house,
but not a chicken dared show its face
at the front OF the neat little house
where Jim Lode and Cinthy lived

had 4 kindly thought for It's former
mistress.

on tlptoe to look down and follow the
flight OF the bucket, but even standing
so she scarcely reached TO his shout

one side as a bird might do. and said.

more tender meaning TO her words

"The course Of true love never did

bucket. Hal. You are fairly beating

Poor thlngi" said the big fellow. in
q tone that implied scant sympathy for
the luckless bucket. "You had better
say that Charlie is eating his heart
out because your cousin will not love
him. Dot. Is she never going to be
good to him for his faithfulness, dear?
He deserves a good life and a good
woman, Dora; even your cousin cannot
deny that"
Don't talk OF Lorle as though she
were heartless, Harry" Dora said,
softly. with one OF her swift wistful
glances up to his face. 'Lorie is not
like other girls"
Tho other two having passed down
out OF the settlement, followed by the
half soornful eyes OF the men at tho
tavern. crossed the rotten bridge over
the river and assembled the opposite
mountain slowly among the bent
bushes and mysterious mlsts that
held In their hiding the snares of
death and the pitfalls that lay In walt

was going TO make his fortune raising
cattle. He was only foreman and she
was cook for the cowboys. The worst

scarcely more than n cook. He would

INTERNATIONAL SERUM co.
Further Particulars Respecting the
 Phoenix Toxin Enterrrise.

A search of the county records was made yesterday to ascertain if there was in reality a company organized in this city for the purpose of furnish ing the whole world with a supply of serum remedies fer the cure of infec- tious and contagious diseases as inti- mated in a dispatch from Chicago, published in yesterday mornings Re publican.
 It was found that on the 23rd of April. 1902, articles of incorporation were filed with the county recorder Of The International Serum Toxin e. The capital stock of the corporation is S1,O00,00O, and the par value of shares is $1. The incorporatoTs are Frank H. Cooper, Peter M. Baumgartner. Chas. A. Cooper and Francis A. Sieber. These gentlemen, with O. A. Carey, comprise the board of directors and they are not permitted to accumulate an in- debtedness exceeding S100.OO0. The incorporators are all residents of Chi cago, or at least were in that city when the notarial acknowledgements were taken. The articles were filed at the request of Chas. A. Cooper
 The objects of the company as set forth in the articles are. first. to en- gage in mining and real estate and do nearly everything else mentioned in the ordinary corporation papers and secondly to manufacture, buy, sell. administer and deal in, in any manner whatsoever, certain medicine or spe- cifc known as Dr. Siebert's serum toxin, or any of the ingredients there or, CT other medicines or specifies
 Inquiry was made of local physicians as to the nature of pr. Sieber's serum. but no one was found who knew any thing about it. The conclusion. there fore, is that it is not the diphtheria serum which is controlled by the manu- lecturers trust and which through the advance in price has created a sensa- tion in Chicago, resulting in the filing or suits after the manner of litigation against all trusts and combines. T. is most likely the enterprise of some private corporation that proposes to acquire wealth in the sale of a remedy not yet famous.

 FINALLY LET THEM lN.-Jake Miller and Hi Eldred went last night to see their friends. Messrs. Murray and Mack. When they presented at the door the tickets they paid $3 for one night last week in order to avoid the rush. the ticket taker refused to honor them at first. He said that they had expired by the statute of limita- tions. A show. he said could not bn expected to honor tickets forever I.e asked Messrs. Eldred and Miller why they had presented the tickets at all at this time; why they did not let them go into their estates and pass down to their heirs and assigns forever. But at last the doOrkeeper weakened and let the holders of the early tickets in. after advising them that while it is wise and proper to take advantage of advance sales, there is such a thing as getting too far ahead Of the procession.

Waiting and hoping never betters ailing vision-procrastinati is the thief of good eye-sight.
 The changes which come to the eye are beyond the power of the in dividual to remedy.
 Neglect to give eyes proper and timely care is responsible for much of the present day eye trouble.

There is somewhere in the Bible
text which says that God is angry with
the nations that are rich. How many
OF US in the contemplation OF the lives
Of men who have spent all their en-
ergies in accumulsting riches have
had an Eye for the exactions OF this
wealth; have thought how misspent
those lives for the most part have been,
how barren Of ideals? Look what this
spirit has done for US. 1t has defiled
our rivers until in our cities today q
thirsty man may not get glass Of
cold water that is fit to drink. 1t has
blackened and poisoned the atmos-
phers with smoke and noxious vapors.
1t has desecrated the face Of nature
where such dissertation were a bias
phemy. 1t has made novels for the
occuption of man where not even
swine could live in comfort. And all
all for what? That nation, already
the most wasteful and extravagant on
earth, might be able for greater extrav-
agances. We need not so much new
measures as new heart. In our la
Dor difficulties the moralization Of
both employers and employees is an
indispensable condition in the bring.
ing about Of better state OF things.
And since the employers are fewer in
number and presumably more intelli-
gent than the laborers the chief effort
should be to give them new mir de-
and hearts that they may understand
that they are trustees not less OF pub
lie interests and that the rights OF
workers, to say the least. are as sacred
as are the rights OF owners.

LACK OF EDUCATION.

NM ANY men OF wonderful natural
AVN endowments are dwarfed and
hampered in their life work because
OF their lack Of education. How often
do we see bright minds in responsible
positions, serving on boards of direct
ors, as trustees Of great business houses
or banking institutions, men who con-
troll the affairs OF great railroads and
manufactures, who have good judg.
ment and great natural ability, but
who are stunted and cramped by their
lack OF early development that life
not yield them one-tenth Of what it
might had their intellectual and aes-
thetic possibilities been unfolded in
youth. In social life, on public plat
forms, in debate, in the higher fields
of the worlds work. enjoyment, and
progress, they are constantly baffled,
EN- brassed, and handicapped hy the
limitation OF ignorance.
Again thouands Of young men and
women are working today in inferior
positions because OF their lack of men,
tai culture. Conscious OF dormant
powers which they cannot get control
Of, many OF them fret and chafe under
the restraints imposed upon them by
their ignorance. They are in the posi-
ton OF the Chinese and other nom
progressive peoples, who have great
mineral, agricultural and other natur-
al resources, which however, do not
yield them hundredth part of their
value because they do not know how
to Utilize them. In the very midst OF
potential wealth and vast possibilities,
those PEOPLE live in poverty and deg
radiation, just as an uneducated man
or woman, who has never developed
his or her mental wealth, is doomed
to perpetual ignorance and its conse-
auencea.

THE SAFEGUARD OF DESTINY.

CHARACTER is thoughtfulness
~ versus irivolty, stability versus
instability. 1t is wisdom, net folly;
law, not anarchy; strength, not weak
ness; upon it depends all purpose in
civil government and the develop.
lhent of national strength. Intelli-
gence is essential to the liberty and
welfare of people. Search the records
OF your almshouses and penitentiaries,
your brothels and dens of infamy and
wickedness and see who are the in
mates. Ignorance and vice, lack OF
education and lack of virtue, every
where these go hand in hand.
Statistics show that one-third OF all
criminals are totally uneducated and
four-tifths are practically uneducated.
The proportion OF Criminals from the
uneducated class is tenfold as great as
the proportion of those having educa-
ton.
Society cries aloud for strong sturdy,
honest-hearted men, men OF convic-
ton, men of principle, men who are
not afraid to say and to do, men who
judge intelligs ntly and in the fear OF
God-in a word, men of character.
When it is said that the liberty and
strength of our government and socie-
ty depends on the intelligeh ce, the ed.
ucation OF our people, it is not meant
that intellectual acuteness, scientific
research and skill in the arts are the
only essential elements of national
life, These are e seltial, but alone,
are not sufficient. We have beheld
the Greek intellect, keen and burnish-
ed, and yet Greek life was stencil and
the Greek republic the embodiment
of se!tishness, injustice and weakness.
Rome's courage was linked with her
intolerance. her learning with her de.
spotism, her religion with her perse.
cution. Frances age of reason was
her age OF vice and immortality. The
Massachusetts puritan was the Massa-
chusetts intolerant.
Again we assert that the only safe
guard of liberty, the only permanent
prosperity, the only condition OF real
progress, SO far as any nation is con-
cerned, lies in the maintenance and
growth of the character Of the people.
Character teaches submission to rea-
son. 1t brings the whole man into
subsection to the higher law OF his be-
ing. 1t is not cutting off Of ardor
and aspiration, setting into rut and
routine. With calmness has come
ardor, with the destruction of flicker.
ing aspirations has come nobility OF
purpose and thoughtful labor. A
vague and foolish idea exists that
youth must be given to what are call
ed pleasures and alter that happy sea-
sons is passed ore must settle down
to the drudgery of life. No idea could
be more false. All life should yield
happiness. That in which the highest
and noblest ends are accomplished
should yield most.
