Beginning All

Kitty came back To herself with a
little shiver. The sky that an hour
ago had glowed crimson, with all the
dazzling gold lights OF an Indian
summer afternoon in Florida, reflect
ed only the palest violet shadows,
deepening gradually to a dull drab.
AS she looked, the gray merged swift
~ into black, and one by one the stars
Olinked out, shedding CHASTITY light
over the rippleless surface of the bay.
How long she had been drifting,
Kitty could never have told, but when
she reached for her oars one was
missing, and strain her eyes as she
would, only the shining. speckless wa
ter laughed back in the starlight
A sudden panic seized her. What
should she do? Three full miles at
; least from the place she had started,
with only the barren shore of Santa
Rosa behind her-even supposing she
could be lucky enough to reach thatl
There was no landing anywhere In
sight, and 10 feet from the beach she
ran aground I'm the soft white sand
Mooring her skin to the solitary post
that stood relic of half decade ago,
she removed her shoes. and lifting her
skirts from contact with the water,
plunged in.
The moon broke suddenly round and
clear and full, hanging suspended from
the sky like a globe OF liquid gold.
Kitty sat down weakly on a heaped-up
bank OF sand and looked out to sea
Her lips were trembling helplessly
now and the color was quite gone from
her face.
Would they come or send for her?
II was very likely not She had left

intolerable.
And now! She should not only
spend ii alone. but in utter terror and
desolation. For hours she lay there
with wide-open eyes, her heart throb
bling almost to suffocation, a thousand
emotions making tumult in her weary
brain.
But by-and-by the salient breath OF

entity Here Will Welcome
This advice.

49,
What will appear very interest
ing to many people here is the ar
ticle taken from a New York daily
paper, giving a simple prescription
as formulated by a noted authority,
who claims that he has found a po-
sitive remedy to cure almost any
case of backache or kidney or b!ad-
der arrangement, in the following
simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandeloin, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces. Shake well in
bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and again at
bedtime. 8 e:
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, Stated that the ingre-
dents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at a small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to
do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no
reason why it would not be splen-
did remedy for kidney and urinary
troubles and backache, as it has a
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most i'm
portant organs and helping them to
sift and filter from the blood the
foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness aud suffering. Those
of our readers who suffer can make
no mistake in giving it a trial.

NAPoLEoN's OLD COAT.
Garment For Which He Had a Sort Of
Superstitious Reverence.

At the Is Vendemiaire Napoleon
was in such state of poverty that
his clothes were all torn and he did
not own a sword. He had to borrow
one, and the day following his sue
cess he had to get quantity of
cloth from the state to have suita-
BILE uniform made. From this mo-
ment, however, he paid great atten-
ton to his toilet and took a certain
pride in richly decorated clothes.
At Marengo he wore uniform
covered with gold embroidery, uni
form to which he attached sort of
superstitious reverence. When he
went to Milan, for instance, to be
crowned king Of Italy he attended
a review on the field of battle in the
old fashioned and much furnished
suit he had worn on the memorable
18th of June, 1900.
He never parted with this old
coat. He brought it with him to
st. Helena, and when he was dead
his companions put it over him.
When Napoleon became consul he
still took great care of his toilet,
but he affected simplicity all the
more, as he wished his generals and
suit to be gorgeous in gold uniforms
and plumed helmets.
It was then he took to wearing
the gray redingote and the hat
which, as well as the uniform, has
been decreed to the Empress Eu-
genie. At first the hat was low
crowned with wide border, but lit
tie by little it got higher and higher
until it became the hat every one
knows. The hat was of long hairy
felt, what hatters called castor

grayish green silk. Napoleon wore
his hats for long time and sent
them to be repaired again and
again.-London P. r. O.

Corner Trees Are Delicate.

A man owning corner property
planted three trees, one at the cor
ner, the other two about fifteen feet
down either street. The trees down
the street thrived, but the one OF
the corner withered and finally died
Again and again the man set out
new trees at the corner, but his eff
forts to beautify that spot failed
Each tree made a feeble attempt to
take root, but soon gave it up and
followed in the way of its predeces-
sors.
Chow do you account for it?'
asked the property owner of an ar
boriculturist. "The soil is good, and
I take excellent care, of the trees.
Why do they die?"
81 don't know why" said the ex-
pert, EEbut it is a fact that corner
tree is twice as likely to die as one
in the middle of the block. Look at
all the dwarfed, stunted trees in
New York's streets and you will find
that three-fourths of the failures
stand on the corner" New York

MEXICAN WILD HOG.
Small but Fierce and Sometimes Used
as Watchdog.

as Watchdog.
Ranchmen in the vicinity of Col
quit, Tex, use the javeline, or
Mexican wild hog, as watchdog,
says the Kansas City Star. The
javeline is far superior to the or
binary dog when it comes to guard
ing the home and premises to which
it has become attached. It is easily
domesticated if taken when it is a
pig. There is hardly a Mexican
household in this section that does
not have a pet: javeline, which
serves many useful purposes.
The javeline Of the southwest has
very few characteristics of the hog.
Beyond the fact that it closely re-
sembles the hog in appearance, it
might veil be classed as an entirely
different species of animal
In point of fearlessness it sur
passes any other animal that roams
the chaparral of the southwest. 1t
is one of the few wild animals that
do not hesitate to attack man. 1t
is feared by every deer hunter who
visits the region. Innumerable in
stances are known of hunters having
been forced to seek refuge in trees
to avoid being torn to pieces by en-
ragged iavelines. They are SO fero-
cious in their wild state that only
the most intrepid sportsman will
brave the dangers Of hunting them.
When taken as pig and domesti-
Gated the jayeline can easily be
trained to do almost any trick that
can be taught the most intelligent
dog. It is quick to learn to know
the members Of the family and will
protect them against harm with its
life if necessary. No, strange hui
man being or animal is permitted to
enter the house or yard where pet
javeline is on guard It has bark
something similar to that of dog,
and when danger approaches it sets
up its peculiar cry.
The jayeline is almost as fleet as
a dog, and one javeline will whip
several dogs. They weigh when full
grown from fifty to eighty pounds.
They are taller in the fore part of
their body than in the rear. In
this respect they resemble the wild
boar
The javelines in their wild state
run in droves of twenty to fifty.
They always travel in single file and
appear to have recognized leader.
When feeding or bedded for sleep
or rest one of the javelines is al
ways on guard. Whenever drove
of animals is about to cross an open
space a sentinel is first sent out to
take a view of the situation. If
everything is found to be clear the
signal is given By the sentinel and
the whole drove trots across the
clearing. and re-enters the chaparral.

An Optimistic Outlook.

It has been the cry Of the ire

that his own generation produced
nothing. It's cry that I hate and
deny When the dross has been
cleared away and comparison be-

will be admitted that in the aggre-
gate, in philosophy and significant
literature, in architecture, painting
and scientific research, in engineer

endeayors will bear comparison with
