Sandy Point.
(From Persia Globe.)

tie story was written by a
Persia resident or at least they
get their mail at this place.
Sandy Point is almost direct
west of Persia, On the Missouri
River. EDDY
Ed Globes Have you a ques-
ton box? If so, will you tell
me whether there is any truth
in the following legend as to
how Sandy Point received it's
name. The legend is as follows:
Away back in 1904 when Lewis
& Clark made their historic ex-
petition up the Missouri river
there was a young sergeant by
the name of VIM. Patterson
with them. He came from
Kentucky and while on a fur
Tough home he fell in love with
la daughter of a Kentucky
planter. This old Kentuckian
was a stately gentleman of the
old school, who dotted on his
daughter and made her happi-
ness his greatest care. She re-
ciprocated the affections of
young Patterson and so her
father favored his suit, was
glad to see her happy and
looked forward with pleasure
to the time when she and her
lover would be united in mar
riage. This kind old father,
having a proper regard for his
daughters happiness, had
everything arranged for the
wedding, which happy event
was to take place as soon as
young Patterson's enlistment
should expire, which would be
in a short time. The days We're
going by happy as could be to
the young lovers, who spent
the time in each others society
much the same as other young
persons who are in love GO.
You know, Stewart, how it was
yourself. Well, the course Of
true love never runs smooth
and so this young Sergeant re-
ceived orders to report at head
quarters for this long expedi-
ton up the Missouri river and
over the Rocky Mountains
This order fell like a pail over
the hearts of the Young lovers,
crushing their hopes, as it
seemed to them like a separa-
tion forever. After much gloom
and dependency they conclud-
ed that they could not bear 10
be separated, so on the night
before Patterson was to leave,
receiving permission from the
kind old father, together with
his blessing, they were quietly
married and next morning took
passage on the steamboat down
the Ohio and up the Mississippi
to st. Louis and reported at
Jefferson Barracks, where per-
mission was obtained by the
young Sergeant to take his fair
bride with him. The young
man was a blonde with a forrid
complexion and in spite Of the
frowns of his young wife, the
rough soldiers, his comrades,
irreverently called him Sandy.
Well, after they had held a pow
WOW with the Larnanites at old
Evansville, now known as Coun-
Gil Bluffs, they followed on up
the Missouri and the third day,
toward evening, as they were
rounding the great bend, which
has long since been cut off by
the river, a sudden squal]
struck their craft and young
Sandy was ordered to take the
small boat and run ashore with
the cable and tie up to a cotton
wood on the bank, but the poor
fellow in the choppy waves was
thrown out of his boat and his
anxious bride jumped overheard
to go to his aid. Poor thing!

KILLS GERMS Of cATARRH
Hycrnel Goes to the RsSt Of the
Disease and Makes As.oniSh'
Ing Curts

Ing CuI6o
Catarrh cannot be cured by
the use of pills, liquid medicines
and socalled system tones. I'm
der such treatment the germs
of the disease will still live in
the air passages and increase
and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific
and thorough way to cure ca
tarrh. Killing the germs IN the
air passages, it enters the blood
with the oxygen, destroys the
microbes in the blood and effect
ually drives from the system all
traces Of catarrhal poison.
!. Thousands of testimonials
have been given as to the as
tonishing cures made by this
remedy.
Mrs. LIE Rendu. 76 Western
Avenue, Cleveland, O., writes:
II believe Hyomei saved my life.
| am better now than | have
been In thirty years. Many doc
tors, both in England and
France, treated me for catarrh,
but | was not cured until | used
Hyomei."
Probably the strongest evil
dence that can be offered as to
the powers of Hyomei to cure
catarrh is the fact that Elliott
& Harvey will agree to refund
the money if you say Hyomei
has not cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs but S1.00, consisting of an
inhaler, dropper and sufficient
|Hyomei to last several weeks.
This will effect a cure in ordi-
nary cases, but for chronic and
deep seated cases eff catarrh,
longer use may be necessary,
and then extra bottles of Hyo-
mel can be obtained for SOC.

into raging pillows Sub.altern
Sandy could be seen on a great
limb in the top Of the old cot
tonwood, which formed his
primitive home, with sad and
fearful face, pointing to the
spot where the wild waves
rolled and tumbled over the
place where the beautiful Ken
lucky maiden had found her
last resting place. And often,
riding on the storm, came a
sylph-like form, fair as the
houris, with long silken tresses
streaming out on the raging
wind and with smiles tried to
comfort her sorrowing lover.
And on one of these occasions
this fair form from the invis-
ible beckoned to h i'm as if ask
ing to come to her and Sandy,
still pointing to the watery
grave, made an immense leap
from his lofty perch and went
down in the raging waters at
the same spot where his wife
had sunk and thus they were
reunited and although the place
where this occurred has long
since become part of Nebraska
yet the residents here call it
Sandy's Point. And perhaps
some of them think when the
Storm King is exercising his
power over the elements the
forms of the two lovers can
sometimes be seen. The Globe
is always posted with regard
to Harrison county history. Is
this legend true in any of it's
rarts?

A Ministerial Doubt.

The new pastor of the country church
was an eminently practical man as
we'll as a good Christian, and on the
occasion of his first sermon he pro-
ceeded at its close to test the practical
Christianity of his hearers.
81 should like to know" he said,
glancing over the congregation, chow
many women in this assembly have not
spoken a harsh word to their husbands
during the past four weeks"
There was stir among the auditors,
but no other indication that the shot
had told.
Indeed" he went ON, 81 am so anx-
ious to know that l shall ask that all
the women who have not done so rise
to their feet and be counted"
He paused a moment and waited,
One rose far over in the corner, then
another near her, and soon they had
come up all over the house until there
were at least fifty on the floor. The
preacher counted them carefully. Ther
he added:
"Fifty-two," he said. ''Well, really
dear friends, had no idea there were
so many widows in this community

A Deadening Habit.

A fault finding. criticising habit is
fatal to all excellence. Nothing will
strangle growth quicker than tenden-
cy to hunt for flaws, to rejoice in the
unlovely, like a hog which always has
his nose in the mud and rarely looks
up. The direction in which we look in
dieates the life aim, and people who are
always looking for something to crit
icise, for the crooked and the ugly,
who are always suspicious, who in
variably look at the worst side of 9th
ers, are but giving the world picture
of themselves.
This disposition to see the worst in
stead of the best grows on one very
rapidly until it ultimately strangles all
that is beautiful and crushes out all
that is good in himself No matter
how many times your confidence has
been betrayed, do not allow yourself
to sour do not lose your faith in peo-
pie. The bad are the exceptions. Most

Is the Victory Moral or Political?

The Ohio election has set the, politl-
clans to c~ogitating from n end of the
country to the other, and perhaps for
the reason that, politically, Ohio oc-
cupies the position so long held by Vir-
ginia as h Empire state, mother OF
Republican Presidents, and shaper of
party politics. Was the recent election
in Ohio a political or q, moral verdict
There are various answers to this.
Some say that Pattison was elected De-
cause the Democratic party progressed
religion, that the Democratic victory
was moral, and everybody is waiting
to see what use such q victory is to
such a party. Others say hat the VIC
tory is due to the vitality and MINOR
tality of the Democratic party, and
the only thing in Ohio history like the
election of 1905 vas the election of
1857.
In 1867 the race question was Of as
much advantage to the Democratic
party as the temperance question was
constitution was submitted to popular
vote. and it proposed to strike the
word white" cut out of the suffrage
clause of hat instrument. Allen q.
Thurman was the Democratic candi-
date for governor and r. B. Hayes the
Republican candidate. Clement L.
Vallandigham managed the Demo-
cratic campaign, and it was understood
that he was to be Senator if the legis-
lature should be Democratic. The
amendment vas beaten $4,000 and 1T
may be remarked as a political curios-
ity that the word white" is in the
Ohio constitution right now. Thurman
was defeated by about 3,OOO-after the
Western Reserve found u how many
votes were necessary to accomplish it
and h legislature was Democratic
on joint ballot. Perhaps it would have
been better if Vallandigham had been
sent to the Senate, though he could
Thurman was but it is always best to
comply with agreements. Vallandig-
ham, Titanic figure that he was,
might thus have been spared to Ohio,
to the Democratic party, and to the
republic.
Democratic party began to take heart.
It vas re~iuvenated. reincarnated. It
fought the battles Of the Constitution;
it restored civil liberty to the South;
it banished force from the ballot box:
it elected Tilden President and re-en-
throned the Constitution.
And so it was until the Democratic
party again lost its nolitics under
Bryan. Is this Ohio victory the dawn
of another day for the Democracy, as
in 1867. or is it rather the echo of
Secretary Taft's "keynote,' which was
not intended for a keynote?
And that is a question some Ohio
statesmen would like to have definitely
