sublime danger, and In every process
Of wise husbandry and every effort CT
contending or remedial courage the
wholesome passions, pride and bodily
power of the laborer are excited and
exerted in happiest unison, The CON-

serviceable animals soften and enlarge
his life with lowly charities and dlsci-

1t was n brutal way Of putting it,
but everybody in the town of Gruha IN
had come to speak of Jimmy Landon
as the town fool. 1t was said that the
boy had been born bright enough, but
at the age Of five stroke of lightning
had worked the change in him. He lost
the power of speech, and his mind
was weakened, and after the death Of
his widowed mother he was an inmate
Of the poorhouse for two or three
years. Then he became hanger-on
Of the town. having no particular
home, but being cared for as an OBJ
ject Of charity. Not quite that either
He was always willing to do any work
he could to pay his way. He could
hear If he could not talk, and. though
he seemed to have no more mind than
child of three. he got along very
well. Two things the boys Of the
town came to learn in time-.Timmy
had a streak of cunning In him, and
he was revengeful.
Jimmy Landon was thirteen years
old and had been looked upon as the
town fool for several years when a
sort Of event happened in the quiet
community. stranger, who called
himself Colonel Bliss and who was so
crippled up with wounds that he had
to use u pair of crutches, arrived In
town and delivered series of lectures
on war. 1t came to be understood
that he had been the colonel of gal
liant Illinois regiment and that owing
to his wounds and other misfortunes
he was in bad financial shape. He did
fairly we'll with his lectures, and he
made many friends. and when he pro-
posed to open singing and writing
school he received much encourage
ment. He could sing and he wrote a
beautiful hand.
The colonel took up his quarters at

pointment of John w. Zuber, OF

tember. at an annual salary of
from 5000 to $500 with travelling
expenses.
