This is miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans., March 14.-One
Of the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that OF
the three-year-old daughter of Mr.
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl tool;
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest OF the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodds Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and a half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child, running and playing as If
nothing had ever been the matter
with her. The doctors said she was
beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life, when she was SO far
into the chronic stage of Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could
save her."

wagon. This slender rod easily
reached the water, and Jessie
thrashed the surface with all possible
vigor. A projecting branch from the
pole caught her cap, and it fell into
the creek, where the tide swept it
under the bridge.
With a cry Of dismay, Jessie turned
meath the feet of horse.
whoa, Jim!"
Checked in a slow trot by pair of
taut lines, an old farm horse stopped
SO suddenly as to rattle the contents
of the wagon. The driver, boy of
seventeen, dropped the lines and
leaped lightly to the bridge.
did he hit you, little girl?"
Jessie Garden stumbled and fell just
beyond the horses hoofs. Before the
boy could reach her, she was on her
feet and peering over the bridge.
There it is! There it isl" she
exclaimed, dancing in excitement and
dismay. "Oh, what will Govie say?
Boy, get me my CAPT"
The youth, startled at the imper-
Gus summons, followed her gaze and
caught glimpse of the cap as it was
carried along by the tide. Looking
UP the road, he placed his fingers be-
tween his teeth and whistled shrilly.
A large Newfoundland dog came
towards him, leaping in huge bounds
Hey Prince, go get it," He pointed
to the cap, now whirling in an eddy.
Prince soon reached the cap, and,
holding it well above the weter,
turned for the bank. The sides we're
steep and slippery, but the boy took
firm hold of the dogs collar, and after
struggle hauled him to solid ground.
Prince dropped the cap, filing the air
with spray as he shook himself,
wagged his tail, and lolled his tongue
in canine self-satisfaction.
Here is your cap" said the boy, as
he held a much bedraggled piece of
millinery gingecly at arms length.
THANK you, boy!" said Jessie,
smiling through tears which were
yelling in her eyes. With a little
sigh of relief she noted that the gov
erness was not in sight. Jessie patted
the dog on the head, and with ro-
guish glance addressed her unknown
companion.
What is your name?" she asked,
with the direct frankness of twelve
years.
"My name is Burt-John Burt"

DESERVED TO WIN BRIDE.
How Hin6oo Lover Secured the Maiden
of His Choice.

In many parts of India Hindoo girls
are welded not with a ring, but with a
necklet or thali. At the wedding Of a
daughter of a leading native Moul-
mein there were present among the
numerous guests a Hindoo maiden and
her lover whose suit had not so far
progressed to his satisfaction. While
the wedding ceremony was in progress
the young man suddenly went up to
her and, before any one suspected
what his object was, pulled out thali
from his pocket and quietly tied it
round her neck. OF course there was
a hubbub and parental lamentations
over this dramatic episode, but so
great is the veneration for the thali
among Hindoos that no one dared to
remove it from the neck of the as
eonished maiden. All concerned
therefore repaired to the Marianne
temple, where the act was ratified.
and the maid who went to the we'd
ding of her friend fancy free left the
scene as the legal wife of bold and
successful husband.

voice. "The Lord will not harm His
servants whether they approach Him
in storm or in calm"
Falling on his knees, the old man
faced the sea, raised his arms to
heaven, ana prayed to the God who
rides on the wings of the storm. The
spray stung his face. but he needed
it not. A giant surge swept the Ian
tern away. and its faint light went
out as it clattered along the rocks.
The old man prayed fervently that
his sins might be forgiven. There
was one sin which weighed heavily
upon him. though he named it not in
his petition.
The year was 1860, and on that No
vember day the news had come to
Rocky Woods of Abraham Lincolns
election to the presidency.
In the tempest which lowered when
the election was in doubt and broke
in fury when the triumph Of Lin
coin was certain, Peter Burt saw
an augury Of the storm which was
soon to sweep the country. An ar
dent Abolitionist, and a rabid advo-
cate of Unionism, he lifted his voice
that November night in a frenzy of
eloquence which thrilled the child at
his side and left an impress years
did not efface. Amid the crash of
waters, his gray hair streaming in
the wind, mis- dripping arms stretched
over the foam Peter Burt prophesied
the four years of desolating war then
impending. He invoked the curse of
God on the enemies Of his country,
returned thanks for the coming eman-
cipation Of the slaves. and eXulted in
the victory TO be achieved by the
Union arms. He ended with a tender
plea for the grandson llneeling beside
hin-"who is the heir" the old man
declared, mot of my worldly posses
sions, which are nothing in Thine
eyes. but Of those gifts and that
power OF divination with which Thou
hast graciously vGachsafed me. John
Burt shall be the chosen one Of the
house of Burt Withhold not. o Lord,
Thy blessing from him! Amen"
The old man arose and shook the
water from his hair. The prophet
had gone. the New England farmer
stood in his place. The resonant
voice which challenged wind and
wave sounded harsh as he exclaimed:
where's the lantern, John? See
If you can find it. Wen break our
necks trying to get back without it,
John found the lantern, and after
many attempts and muttered COM
plants the old man lighted it, Hold
IL - tigh over his head, the old
