An Oriental Parable.

A man had two sons. The elder
was virtuous and dutiful, the young
er wicked and crafty. When the faith
er was about to die he called them be-
Fore him and said: Il have only two
things of value-my herd of camels
and my blessing. How shall l allot
them?"
Give to me- said the younger
son, thy blessing, for it may reform
me. The camels l should be sure to
sell and squander the, money"
The elder, Disgusting his joy, said
that he would try to be content with
the camels and pious mind. 1t was
so arranged, and the man died. Then
the wicked younger son went before
the cadi and said: Behold, my broth
er has defrauded me of my lawful
heritage He is SO bad that our faith
er, as is we'll known, denied him his
blessing. Is it likely that he gave
him the camels?"
So the elder brother was compelled
to give up the herd and was soundly
bastinadoed for his racapity.-Min

tanning $50 grains of water, 1875 of
fat, 108 of lime, 80 of albumen, 26
of sugar and 10 of ash--the most
condensed and strengthening form Of
food offered to man. Every person
having little plot OF ground is able
to keep from half a dozen to many
dozen of these wonders and so add to
the family income. To do this to the
greatest advantage, one must know
how to care for his fowls--to guard
against, detect and cure disease;
which fowls to save for breeding pur-
poses, etc. The simplest and most
satisfactory way of securing this
knowledge is to buy it from some
person who has made a success of
fowl raising as business. Such a

st, Petersburg, Russia. After as
pertaining the address of the Riga
headquarters of the Lettish revolu-
tionists the local police demanded adj
mittance.
The housekeeper, Greta Thomson,
fifty-seven years old, cried out, 1--WE
shall not surrender without fight!"
whereupon a volley of shots was
poured through the doors on the po-
lice, who were occupying both the
front and rear stairs. The police re-
tired into a neighboring apartment
and attic, as the conspirators are liv-
ing on the top floor of five-story
house, and for four hours fred volley
after volley through the walls and
ceiling. The resistance finally ceased
and when the police entered they
found the bodies of four dead, includ-
ing the Thomson woman; two wound
ed girls and four wounded men, in
Guiding one Hebrew. The latter at
tempted to escape and was killed.
1t is estimated that the revolution
lists fired 700 shots from a Mauser
and three Brownings before their
weapons were shattered. One police
man was slightly wounded, although
all wore armor.
Late the next night the Octobrist
Club was the scene of a sharp conflict
between the left and right wings of
the party. The former, led by M.
Vladimir Lvoff, of Samara, brother
Of M. Nicholas Lvoff, protested
against the Octobrists allowing them
selves to be swallowed up by the re-
actionists. In concluding the arraign-
ment Lvoff shouted:
"You have disgraced the party and
discredited the Duma, which the pub
lie already distrusted as representing
the landlords only"
The room resounded with vocifer-
ious protests and a score of angry
noblemen leaped to their feet.
The voice of Baron Meyendorff,
who had been candidate for vice
president, resounded like a clarion
above the clamor.
Take back your words, which have
insulted the party and which / regard
as an imputation upon myself"
Lvoff did not answer and Baron
Meyendorff, amid a deadly silence,
repeated his demand, declaring that
unless amends were offered he would
send his seconds.
The meeting dissolved amid great
confusion. AS the Deputies gathered
around the disputants Baron Meyen-
dorff's challenge was at first regarded
lightly and as dropped in the heat Of
debate, but it soon became apparent
that his words were meant in deadly
earnest.
Cooler heads, however, interviewed,
and efforts to smooth matters over
seem to have been successful, though
the breach in the party may remain
unhealed.

Beside Father.
BABE SAVED IN W0MAN'S ARMS
Aroused by Dog, Oil Man at Tionesta,
Pa, Saves Four Of Family by
Desperate Efforts in Flames
Exhausted Ere Task Ends.

Exhausted Ere Task Ends.
Franklin, Pa.-Exhausted by des-
perate efforts to break through
barrier of fame and half-unconscious
from smoke, Thomas Zuver, one of
the best known oil producers in this
part of the State, lay in the road be-
side his house near Tionesta and saw
his home, with five of his eight chill
dren in 1t, burn. Wilbur Vuver, sew
enteen years old, and Nelson, four
teen, were senseless beside him, hav-
ing been burned terribly in attempts
to rescue their two younger brothers
and three little sisters. On the
other side of Zuver, in a swoon, lay
Mrs. Zuver, with her baby in her
arms. The five children were burned
in their beds. Either they were suffo-
Gated by smoke before the flames got
to them or were paralyzed by fear.
Any effort at escape they might have
made would have been futile, for
they were hemmed in ring of fire.
That the whole family did not meet
death in the blaze was due to the
barking of Zuver's dog, and to his
own heroism. Zuver saved his wife
and baby and his first and second sons
before his strength failed.
Tragedy was piled on tragedy, for
three hours after the flames had de-
stroyed five of her children, Mrs.
Zuver received a dispatch telling of
the sudden death of her mother, Mrs,
Martha I've, in Van Buren,, Ind, and
saying the elder woman's body would
arrive. 1t was decided that one fun
eral service would be held over Mrs.
Ives and her five grandchildren. Nell
son Zuver was burned so frightfully
in trying to save his brothers and sis
tiers that it is feared he cannot re-
cover. Mrs. Zuver, already Frustrated
by the loss of her children, was
thrown into such terrible condition
by the news of her mothers death
that much apprehension was felt for
her.
Zuver heard his dog barking at s.
o'clock. He was dizzy when he tried
to rise from bed, and several seconds
| passed before he realized the room
was thick with smoke. The man
aroused his wife hastily and babe her
flee with the baby. He tried to run
up to the stairs to the second floor
to awaken the seven children Sleep
| ing there, but flames beat him back,
smuggling him cruelty Then he dashed
| out of the house and climbed to the
roof of the porch. He smashed a
window pane, unfastened the sash
! and dragged out Wilbur and Nelson,
| both of whom were unconscious,
