PLACE I ONCE CALLED HOME.

As the low and lingering shadows steal softly to the night, I tread with silent footsteps toward a welcome parlor light; A light that seems far brighter than the stars in heavens dome. The light that lights the parlor of the place I once called home. I long toswing the portal that's beep clos-ed to me for years; Lo, the wim.ows dim and frosty; no, uo, it Is my tears; For I see, in loving silence, the family sitting there, And mother knitting absently beside an empty chair. In a gentle retrospection. I chase the tears away. And lure to fading memory that sunny summer day When I started out. light-hearted, with blessings and advice, To those distance fields of Fortune, with Fate to cast the dice. I remember 1 was picturing myself, as off I went, Well—that somehow I was destined to be the President, And how mother rudely shattered that castle in the air, As she sobbed. ‘‘Whatever happens, I’ll keep your empty chair." ' A score of years have flitted to‘.he limbos of the past; I stand with courage vanished, where all wand’rers stand at last, At the threshold of the homestead, there, with a long-drawn sigh. Praying for a word of counsel on the way that sinners die; Pleading just for food and shelter, and a mother’s loving kiss, Anda father’s grip of friendship, fora hope that’s gone amiss— Pleading from a heart that's welling in abreast o'er filled with strife. For love to shed its luster on the shadow of a life. Shall I enter? Can I enter? With failure in my pack. And vainly try to turn the hands of Life’s old timepiece back To the happy days of childhood, to boyhood’s magic spell With the linnets in the orchard, watching windfalls as they fell; With little brother Willie, riding every day to school Down the daisy-dotted meadow, astride our lop-eared mule; With all the other children romping in our wildtime play. With the little bed to go to when daylight stole away? I know they’d gladly greet me, if I’d only just walk in. And surprise them with my presence, Alas, I can’t begin To muster up the grit I had. for all my courage went With the vision of the future when I’d be President. But O! mother! mother!! mother!!! do come and ope the door. Hold out your arms to take me to the happy days of yore. Help lay aside the burden of my trouble and my pain That my bent and sumken shoulders can never bear again! When the sun marks noon of lifetime, when once the morning’s dune, k And from dawn we turn reluctant to face the setting sun, We grow more worldly, somehow, for our hearts turn callous-like. And don’t seem much to notice, then, the stumps aloug the pike; And. once the journey's started, might as j well trudge on ahead— So I'll keep ever moving aud not bring to ' life the dead. Nor the hopes that peaceful slumber, nor break the mystic air Of the memories bright that linger around the empty chair. —Success.

FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.

Mr Jay VV. Williams has two brothers residing in Ohio who are taking in Cook’s Celtic Cruise to Upper Egypt and the Holy Land. A letter received from one of them last Monday we are permitted to copy in full: , Giberaltar, Feb. 18, ’92. Dear Brother:—We arrived here this morning at 6 a m., landing in steam tugs, and we first visited the world-renowned fort, known for its strength and for the hard-fought battles where hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. We were shown through several miles of tunnels that were cut through solid rock about 12x15 ft. with an opening in face of rock every sixty or eighty feet, where large cannons are placed to command the bay, so that it would be impossible to scale the walls on account of the steepness. Giberaltar, from the bay, looks just as the pictures we see except that the word “Prudential” is not printed across the rocks. The rock we see in so many pictures faces the bay and Spanish territory and not the Strait, as I had always supposed, and is situated quite a ways from the narrow part of the Strait. They would not take us through all the tunnels and I suppose from what we saw that they did not take us through the best fortified part. What guns we saw were of a very old pattern and would not do very much execution. The town, which lies below the fort, contains about 20,000 inhabitants, mostly Spanish—some English, Moores, Turks aud other nationalities. None that we saw, except the soldiers, could understand a word of English, but all seemed to know the value of the different money. English is the kind mostly used. Did not go over to the Spanish lines as it was raining quite hard all the time we were there. There is a.narrow strip of land between the fort and Spain’s territory and a strip about five hundred feet wide called neu-

tral ground, and Spanish soldiers are on one side and English on the other. Houses in “Gib” are all stone with tile roofs, and streets are narrow. Called on the American Consul and registered our names. He is from Connecticut. We were well pleased with our visit. We are to leave at 3p. m. Algires, April 22. We left ‘‘Gib” on time and arrived here at 6 p. m., of the 20th, and immediately went ashore for the evening—that is, some of us did, as the sea was quite rough and, as we were to spend the next day there, most of the pilgrims staid on the boat. The sea was quite rough and as it was raining hard we did not stay later than 10 o’clock, and came back to our boat expecting to go ashore the next morning to speud the day. Those that got an early start for shore got off all right, but as “Cap” and I were late at breakfast we could not get off, as the sea continued rougher and higher all the balance of the day. Those that did go ashore could not get back to the boat, so that we had to lay over a day. Guess it was a good thing we did not leave the boat, judging from the experience those had who did, Algiers is a city of about 150,000 inabitants and well built and the most beautiful city, looking from the boat, that I have ever seen. It is built upon the sloping side of the mountain, facing the sea and the houses are built tier upon tier, streets running parallel to the warer or bay All houses facing the water are five and six stories high, built of stone aud tile roofs, so that they make a grand sight. The city is lit by gas and electricity and well lighted, so at night we have a fine view from our boat. The night we were over we saw lots of Arabs, Turks, Moores, etc. Every other place in the city is a drinking place and all seem to be well patronized. Although it has been quite cold here for the past two days, vegetation is quite forward Grass green and trees are all full leaved, and to ns northern pepple it looked very fine, indeed. They hffve electric cars here as fine as we have at home. The money used here is French. In buying anything we gave them enough money to pay for it and they make the change. We take whatever they give ns and call it square, as we are unable to count their money and no use to “kick” for they could not understand a word we say. We leave here this, Saturday eve., and expect to arrive at Malta on Monday morning at 7* a. m. (the 24) One of our American punt o its, the “Chicago,” is at anchor at Algiers so that we have good protection. This being Washington’s birthday, the gunboat fired the national salute. She was nicely decorated to-day. The band we have on board has been playing American airs all day, and we have been celebrating also. Will try and write you from Malta where this letter will be mailed. Love to all,

Your brother,

J. J. WILLIAMS.

SPIRIT INTERFERENCE

Said to Have Caused Dismissal of the Case Ag ainst Thompson, WHO THINKS OF ASKING DAM* CEB Mari Gale Raises Cain in the Oil »*vgioii— Terre Haute Strike Tro u bles—l tenia. Muncie, Ind.. March 14. —The charge of obtaining money under false pretenses and grand larceny against Wm. 11. Thompson, a former Muncie business man. were dismissed, iii circuit court yesterday. Thompson threatens to retaliate with a big damage suit. Six months ago Charles Hawkins was charged with procuring $4,000 froi : Miss Sarah Williams, a maiden ladj, aged 52, on a promise of marriage. Hawkins was a handsome, big fellow, working in a saloon. He first secured a sleeping room at Miss Williams’ home and made love to her. She reciprocated. and soon afterward mortgaged her farm to loan Hawkins the money to engage in business near Detroit. He left immediately and lias not since been located. Where Thompson Has Suffered. It was claimed that Thompson, a friend of the Williams family, assisted in the deal. Thompson was one of the lucky persons in the recent Oklahoma government land drawing, and secured a fine farm near Lawton. Detectives went to Oklahoma and arrested him. He was brought to Mureie and furnished bond, but claims that his arrest resulted in him losing his land claim, being unable to make required improvements. This fact, he claims, will make grounds for bis damage suit. Now Here Come the Spooks. Thompson and the Williams family are devout Spiritualists Professor Dearth says that the suit was dismissed at the instance of Miss Williams, since developments made a few nights ago at a Spiritualistic seance. The late Judge O. J. Lotz, former member of the appellate court, was a representative of Miss Williams in the prosecution of Thompson. It is told that at the Spiritualist seance Judge Lotz came back in spirit form and advised Miss Williams to dismiss the suit against Thompson. She lias a wealthy brother in Anderson and one in Louisville. Both are business men. WIND IN A COSTLY FROLIC Muth Damage Done in the Oil Fields by a March Gale. Indianapolis, March 14.—A genuine, old-fashioned March gale blew ovei the entire state from an early hour Wednesday morning. Many reports of minor damage, such as fences, small outbuildings, etc., being demolished, and trees uprooted, have come in. Telegraph and telephone service was I adly interfered with, all lines centering at Indianapolis being badly crippled. The greatest damage seems to have occurred in the oil fields. A dispatch to The Sentinel from Marion says: Derricks and machinery in the oil field were wrecked by a terrific rain and wind storm that swept this section, damaging property to the extent of $25,000. A dwelling house in North Marion and a school building in West Marion were unroofed, and shade trees and outhouses in all parts of the city were blown over. ‘’Notwithstanding the great damage to property no one has been reported Injured. At least seventy-five derricks In the oil fl -hl wore completely wie ked. Many of the derricks were equipped with pumps, and in addition to the loss of the machinery the operators will lose heavily by reason of the wells being put out of operation. Daviu Getting Hack Hi.

The Quee n o f Skiers.

Miss Freda Knagen, a charming and ' athletic brunette of Christiania, Is the only woman living who has eclipsed all male rivals In any branch of athletics. At the great ski-ing competitionheld last year at Holmenkollen she cleared the astounding distance of IOS’/i feet in a single jump, leaving the highest previous record 16 feet In arr?ar. The course at Holmenkollen, on the outskirts of Christiania, is the scene of the championship contests in the Swedish national sport. The course, which is of snow, deep, crisp and firm, slopes upward from a frozen lake at a sharp angle to the height of 160 feet. Twothirds of the way down the course there is a platform, from which there is a vertical drop of <3O feet. The competitor, with his wooden runners strapped to bis feet, slides rapidly down the crevice, acquiring momentum with every yard of the descent until he literally flies down the slope witfc the speed of an express train. When he reaches the "hop." he takes a flying leap in the air. lands skillfully after a flight of from 50 feet to 100 feet on the soft snow, and at a still higher speed, due to the momentum of his leap, flashes down the rest of the course and sails away over the flat surface of the lake until, by a dexterous turn, he comes to a stop. Snyder on Pitching, “Pitching in these days seems to be confined to one specialty, and that is throwing the ball,” sayw t’harley Snyder. "Of course we have several fine fielding pitchers in the big league today, but for all around work, such as batting, base running and fielding, where can we find the equals of Bobby Caruthers, Dave Foutz and those association pitchers of the eighties? Why, when Ifcibby Caruthers was not called on to pitch be was played In the outfield for his batting, being on» of the timeliest batsmen on the team. Dave Foutz was also one of Commie’s outfielders when he was not twirling. This pair of pitchers alternated in the outfield. Many a game did they wl» out, single handed, you might say. That Is, when a timely bit was needed to tie or win. Bobby or Foutz was often there with the goods. Ask a pitcher in this League today to double up in the outfield, and he would fall, knocked out enough to have ten onds counted over him. ’Old Hose' Radbourne often played the outfield for Providence, and it was a home run hit by Rad that won the Providence team an extra inning 1 to 0 game between the Detroit and Providence teams. This memorable game was played on the Detroit diamond, and Jolymie Ward pitched for Providence that day.”

A Medicine for Old People. Rev. Geo. Gay, Greenwich, Kas, is past 83 years of are, yet he saysi “I am enjoying excellent health for a man of my age, due entirely to the rejuvenating influences of Dr. Miles’ Nervine. It brings sleep and rest when nothing else will, and gives strength and vitality even to one of my old age." „ “I am an old scUicr," writes Mr. Geo. Watson, of Newton, la, “and 1 have been a great sufferer from nervousness, vertigo and spinal tiouble. Have spent considerable money fcr medicine and doctors, but with little renefit I wm so bad my mind showe t signs of weakness. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and I know it saved my life." Miles* Nervine | Saved me from the insane asylum,” Mrs. A. M. Heifaer. of Jerico Springs, Mo, writes. “I was so nerv- , ous that I could scarcely control myself, could not sleep nor rest, would even forget the names of my own children at times. I commenced using Dr. Miles’ Nervine and it helped me from the ’ first, and now I am perfectly well." •ok* *»y all Druggists an Guarantee. Dr. we Medical Cw., Elkhart, Ind.
