The PhdsV|SNyo Ride gS|Sa stom-c loud ~~e77I2

Suddenly, at the genii's commands. the clouds dashed madly toward each other. The wicked storm genii couehed their lances in preparation for terrible strife.
 For the first time the pixie realized his own danger. Now he observed with alarm that the balloon was rising d. rectly between the two clo~As. But be- fore he had time for further thought the lanees of the genii pierced his bal- loon on either side. A moment, then the balloon collapsed. and the pixie found himself falling. falling. until ho knew no more. In fact, the pixie was no more, because the terrific force OF his fall had killed him.

NTo PIXIE had any business to be
 M riding around on storm clouds. This was just the matter with this little elf; he was too ambitious. Many and many q time he' watched the genii of the storm clouds galloping to- ward each other on their black. lower ing cloud chargers. Then, again. great companies of them would battle to- gether. amid lightning flash and turbu- lent thunder. The pixie was impressed. as well he might be, but there was no reason why he should fancy himself ill- used because HE had to confine his pranks to the earth, where he pestered the gnomes unceasingly and teased the good fairies until they almost lost patience

Sarah's Pet, the s

 referring to the many wonderful fireworks she had seen the evening be- fore at a nice garden party. She did So wish she knew how so many splendid balls of fire and such pretty designs could be put in a little cylinder with q stick attached to 1t. But this wasn't au Sarah wondered about--she was always '.just wondering. People wondered how she could possibly wonder so much.
 About the only thing about which Sarah had not wondered was sea-ser- pent. And probably this was the only reason the sea serpent paid her visit. Because he was tired-oh. yes: quite tired--of people who wondered whether there were such creatures as sea ser pents. Of course. there were sea ser- pents. Wasn't he one?
 How do you do. little giri7@ said the serpent, with exceeding politeness. as he sduirmed and wriggled his way to where the little maiden stood on the beach. Sarah would have been afraids and she would surely have run away, had she not been too busy wondering where such strange monster COULD nave eoms from.

Novelty in Curios

~ oLLEcToRs of famous pens and
 penholdsrs are few, but of late NJ some big prices have been paid for specimens. Among those that have changed hands at high prices is the pen with which Nelson wrote his last letter on the morning of the battle Of Trafal- gar; 1t fetched S250. Pitts pen, with which he wrote his letter to George III, asking to be relieved of his post as prime minister, was sold at S200, and a Denholder with which Walter Scott wrote most of his novels was bought for $40. Among other famous pens that have been preserved are the ones with which the peace of Frankfort was signed in 1s66. and the last act of the Berlin Congress was signed in 1873. Both these are in the possession of the fam ily of the ate Prince Bismarck. The Empress Eugenie has among her treas ures an eagle quill with which the fa4 nous Treaty of Paris was signed in 1858.

hoiAos ~ hOsVs iiOf
parents were Rev. p. II. and Mrs.
Sarah Crider. Rev. p. II. Crider
was prominent and we'll known
preacher in the Cumberland Presby-
terian church and served that church
in the various states of Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky. Her
mother, Mrs. Sarah Crider, is still
living at Marion, KY, though IN Ill
health. The elementary part of
Mrs. Cochran's education was acquir-
ed in the public school, of Pennsyl-
vania. 10 the Grammar Grades she
was graduated in the schools of
Chicago, Ill. Afterwards she COM
pleted the High School course at
Potter College under the tutorship
of Prof. Cabell.
She professed religion when nine
years of age at Bethel church IN
Pennsylvania and joined that church
Although entering the Masters
service at that tender age, yet her
life proved her to be devoted
Christian.
She was married to I. II. Cochran
April 25, 1895. 1t was a thought.
full, considerate union of hearts and
lives, and it resulted in happy
home and in perfect devotion of
husband and wife to each other.
When Mrs. Order moved to Ma
rion, she and Elvie united with the
c. =. church. She remained 10 that
church a faithful and efficient mem
Ter until a short time before her
death. She then united with the ,
NJ. f.. Church, South, in order that
she and her husband might be in
the same church. For years she was
organist of the c. p. Church, teach
er Of the primary class in Sunday
school, active member OF the Aid
Society, and Secretary of the Ladies
Missionary Society. In all these
spheres she filled her place we'll.
She was a faithful member Of the
c. l.. s. {. Circle, and always lent
a helping hand to the promotion Of
all Its interests.
She was queen Of the home, dis.
pelling gloom and sadness with her
genial nature and making all feel
welcome that entered these sacred
precincts. She was q woman Of fine
j Judgment, we'll balanced, and filled
with spirit Of true nobility. She
was loyal to her friends. While she
might chide them for their private
faults, she would nobly defend them
against any attacks which might be
made from without.
She passed away sweetly and
quietly, without the witch Of a
nerve or the contraction OF a muscle.
She had expressed to her husband
her perfect resignation to the will Of
her Redeemer, and in this sweet con
fdcnce she sank to sleep IN His
blessed arms. Her remains we're

lions which was an attestatiou of the
