The Wage* of Sin. . ... fps a fact that a womon who has retired from the lists of. folly into the shelter of a respectable home is seldom molested by her former male compan ions, while the man who tries to reform and becomes a loyal husband is almost invariably persecuted or tempted by the woman who has participated in his past. I never heard of but one man who was base enough to attempt to destroy the marital happiness of a reformed woman. She shot him dead and the verdict was "Served him right!” But the cases are innumerable where women attempt to lure married men back to their old follies and to destroy the wife’s peace. Certainly in this respect, the reformed woman has the easier time of it. There are scores of men to-day all about us who are being slowly tortured by the demand for hush money tahide some old sin—men who never open the morning paper without a chill of apprehension, and who never hear the door bell ring without a quiver of the nerves. Men who seek political laurels

can testify to my words. Yet] those who know of the stain upon the honor of these men say: “Behold the injustice of the world, which metes out no punishment to the erring man!" There are hundreds of men who suffer physical torture year after year, conscious that they are reaping what they have sown. God is pot so great a 'Wspectei;of sex as the world at large supposes, and men are punished more frequently and thoroughly for their sins than is imagined by those who see only the surface of life. And there is a spiritual wave beginning to sweep over the world which will compel men to suffer more, and more for their sins.—Ella WheelerWilcox. Maud Muller on a Summer’s Day Wanted something to take the pain away. The doctor, riding by, sympa thized with her and gave her a dose of Cholera Cure. It relieves all pains of the stomach, cramps, colic, etc., at once. An ample supply should always be kept in the hquse for instant use. For sale by Ilolthouse & Smith, j Abraham Lincoln’s Timepiece. It is perhaps a noteworthy fact that Abraham Lincoln left fewer relics behind him than almost any other of our Presidents. Though his death occurred such a comparatively short time ago, the objects which, so to speak, are permeated with his personality are exceedingly scarce. A token doubly valuable on account of the associations with which it is surrounded is in the possession of Harry C. Campbell, of Pittsburg, says the New York Advertiser. It is a Hall open-face gold watch, with the case No. 1,964, which was owned by President Lincoln and worn by him during some of the most trying periods in our nation's history. It came into Mr. Campbell's possession in a rather curious manner. Charles lleyser, of Company D, Second United States Cavalry, enlisted at Albany, this State, Aug. 11;1859. He was appointed acting orderly to Adjutant-General Thomas in 1861, and by him was detailed as orderly to President Lincoln. President Lincoln kept him busily employed during the war carrying messages to the different departments and to the front, and seemed to be much attached to him. Christmas day, 1864, the President presented Heyser with the watch be had been wearing, as a Christmas gift. He afterward took it back and had the inside case engraved in fine script: “To C. Il?yser; A. Lincoln, President,” and returned it. Ilevser carried the watch until Feb. 27, 1869, when, desiring to raise meney enough to get to his birthplace in Prussia, ho sold it to C. B. Todd, ot Pittsburg, who, in turn, on Dec. 1,1892, sold it to Mr. Campbell. Mr. Campbell has received a great many offers for the timepiece since, but has refused to sell. The watch is a stem winder a setter and is a perfect timepiece. The following rules have been adopted by Nichols & Baker, Butchers: Cash or no meat. Supply hard to beat, No bad accounts to make even, , But good weight always given. We give value to our trade, When the CASH they have paid So we trust not-at all Then we won’t go to the wall, hut will always be on hand. With anything you demand. Os NICHOLSj&IBAKER, For Cash, after May 13th 1893. *7tf Criminals’ Handwriting. Some investigators have detected curious peculiarities in the handwriting of criminals. Lombroso, for instance, divides 520 criminals into two groups, the first of which includes homicides, highway robbers, and brigands. The greater part of these make letters much lengthened out; the form is more curvilinear than in ordinary writing, and at the same time more projecting; in a considerable number the cross for the “t” is heavy prolonged, and is common also among soldiers and energetic persons. All ornament their signatures with small strokes and flourishes; some terminate their names with a short hook; assassins are apt to end each word with a sharp vertical stroke. The second group is composed exclusivelymf thieves, who do not make their letters curvilinear. In their case the characters are small, and the signature has nothing striking about it. On the whole, the writing is . like that of a woman. Characteristic of the handwriting of thieves is the bending of almost all the letters. Lombroso suggested to an irreproachable young man who had been put in the hypnotic state that he was a brigand, whereupon his handwriting wholly changed; he made largo letters and enormous “t's.” Dr. M. J. Davis is a prominent physician of Lewis, Cass county, lowa, and has been?' actively engaged in Hie practice, of medicine at that place for the past thirty-five years. On the 20th of May, while in Des Moines enroute to Chicago, he was sudden ly taken with an attack of diarrhoea. Having sold Chamberlain’s Colie, .Cholera ami Dtarrhrea Remedy for tire past seventeen years, and knowing its reliability, be cured a 25-cent bottle, two doses of winch completely cured him. The excitement and water and diet incident to traveling often produce a diarrhiva. Every one should procure a bottle of this Remedy beforeleaving home. For sale by IV. 11.

. Only n Small Favor. Although it is a familiar saying that an Irishman is spoiling for a fight. ’ still there is one kind of lighting to which even the brave sons of Erin are 1 sometimes averse: this is dueling. A ( story wqll illustrating this fact lias recently come ft) us. A certain Irishman, having bebn < challenged4.o fight a duel, accepted the conditions after much persuasion on 1 the part of his friends, who felt conii- t dent of his success. His antagonist, a lame man, walked on crutches. 1 When the place for the shooting bad been reached the lame man's seconds ( asked that he be allowed to lean against, a mile-stone which happened to stand there. The privilege was allowed, and the lame man'took his stand. The Irishman and'his seconds drew ( off to the distance agreed upon, 100 feet. Here Pat’s courage suddenly . failed him, and he shouted to the lame , man: “I’ve a small favor to ask ye, sor!” . “What is it?” asked the cripple. ( Pat answered, “I tould ye thot ye j might lean agin the mile-post and now 1 would like the privilege of leaning 1 agiu the nixt one.” 1 The laugh that followed spoiled everybody’s desire for a fight, and the whole party went home without a shot hav- 1 ing been fired.

Nearly one hundred years ago the , Jesuits were banished from Mexico. It 1 was known tljat they had immense , boards of gold, but feared to attempt . cupidity by taking it all with them. What they did with the bulk of their savings has just been revealed by Pierre Guirre, who, says that treasure to the amount of over $20,600,00(1 was buried beneath the old cathedral in the little.tpw.n of Typozottan. and is believed to be there yet. Immigration for May. The immigration figures issued by the bureau of statistics of the Treasury Department for the month of May show a very considerable reaction in the direction of increased immigration from the falling off of last year. For 1 the five months ending May"3l. as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, there was a falling ass of 40,00 and upwards; arid for the eleven months a falling off of 116,090. But for th’e month of May. as compared with the correspondent, month of 1892 there was a gain of 3,143. The details of the showing are interesting. The largest gain over last year was in Italian immigration, 6.199. There was a great falling off in the immigration from Great Britain of nearly 2,000. and a gain in Austrian-Hungarian of 1.300. There were considerable gains from the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden and Norway, and a str all gain from France. The account. With Denmark and Switzerland shows losses. The aggregate for the month was as follows: AustriaHungarian—Bohemia. 1.060; Jlungary, 5,150; other Austria (except. Poland’', 7.833. Denmark. 1,191; Frx'icc, 69T.
