THAT BLESSED PUDGY tDOL.

The creature was a baby, and I imagine maybe the youngster was : Bald-headed, just because it was so wise; It has a glance Judicial, seemed to scorn things superficial, and reincarnate Socrates looked gravely from its eyes. It had to suffer kisses from demonstrative young miss' it was cuddled. Hugged and rumpb d in tho must regardless way. And I think the little wizard in its very inmost gizzard was Inclined to look with scorn upon such gushing things as they. It would sometimes deign to frolic, be at seasons niolon-eii would Entwine itself in bow-knots without reason or command. And the way it crowed and cackled with its high-C voire unshackled, Was a living exposition to the roosters of the land. Its provender was various, its appetite precarious, its way of Tucking things inside a mystery obscure. And a wondiT was its plastie-'eordion-piealed rind clastic Way of getting around eatabloä with flanking movements sure. It was sometimes like a dummy, sometimes like a living mummy. Often like a wheel gyrating on a pivot or a ioint. And its quick back-action plunging swiftly rotating or lunging Seemed to prove that each bone in it was a tumbling toggle-joint. Yet thi wrigglesoine yocng sinner was the winsomest heart winner. It was cmldlcsouio and huggable, a paek-ige of sweet joy, Ar.d it really didn't matter nor could fact ii alue shatter Whether mamma's popsy-wopsy was a little girl or boy. You cannot magnify it the vast treasure whi h could buy it for the Uaby is the monarch of the fireside and the world ; And within that little cradle, hugging bottle, luck and ladle. . Is the gem of ali the universe in dreamland snugly curled. Ram's Horn. JETHItO'S STOVE POLISH. The drowsy sua of an August afternoon shone upon hill and valley, tinging the long swaths of cradled oats on the hillside with a bright yellow, gleaming brightly from the slender leaves of the maturing corn and resting on the long, dusty road with a somewhat dreamy glow that sivmcri to Invite repose in the shade. On the porch of the country store at tho "Center" sat two old and graybearded men. Around a bend In the roid beyond a third old and gray-bearded man had just come into sight. "lie's a-comin'," said Isaac. So he is," said Uriah. The two obi men turned In their chairs to watch the other's approach. As he drew near they could see that ho carried some round and shining object In his iand and that his face and clothes were streaked with black. The newcomer stopped before them, Ms face beaming with smiles, and with an air of conscious pride held out for their Inspection what proved to be a highly polished stove lid. There she is!" he cried. "The prettiest and cheapest stove polish ever Invented. I know'd the nitnnit I'd put that taller and vinegar in the last batch that I'd got it." 'Thunder!" exclaimed Uriah in admiring wonder. "It does look nice," said Isaac, blinking from one to the other. ".Nice!" echoed Jethro. the inventor, scornfully. "Why, it beats anything of the kind I ever see. Just you try these stove polishes v-ou git out of tho stores and you'll sei tho difference. Why, this one shines brighter, polishes easier; there hain't no dust about It, und won't wear off for six months. Nice? Umph:" "Now, Jet." said Uriah, taking an extra chew of line-cut and leaning back In bis chair, "as you're tho one that has got this thing up, what's your Idea of getting it out? How has it got to be Made and sold?" "Well said Jet, squaring himself back, "my idea is just to take some of the stuff and go out and sell It." "Why. yes, of course," returned Uriah fdo'.vly, ns if the idea hail not occurred to him before. "I.ut what's it going to cost?" Jet sal down on the porch and "got down to business" in a way to ey.clto the admiration of his listeners. ( "I've liggered tho whole thing out end It just amounts to this: It will cost just 1 cent a cake to make the stove Ioiish. Wo sell It for 10 cents. That Fives us a profit of J?1LV.m; a gross. Now, (rich out- of us ought to sell a gross every d;ij mehho more, but we'll put It at o::e gross, to be on the safe side. Now, hay our expenses are $.' a day. That leaves us $10 a day profit, all but 4 cents, and that beats farming all hollow." ".let, old boy, we're with you!" cried Uriah, slapping the other on the ha.-k. "What's the first thing to bo done?" "Well, the first thing is to order some FP:ff to make up into polish, and I thought I'd order about Söo worth. Then we must have some printing Cioue. "Well, I'm going to tho Forks tomorrow, and I'll see to that," said Uriah. "Then we must get some place to make It," continued Jet. "If my wagon shed was cleaned out It would do first rate," said Isaac. "I'll attend to that." "That's tho ticket," cried Jet. eulhuKiaslioally. "I tell you, gentlemen, we're bound to make something out of this. Just to think, $10 a day Is nearly a month more money than we take In now In a year." "That's so," said Isaae, rising slowly to his feet. "Well. It's getting along; I'll have to get back and do chores.

The other two watched him ont of Bight. "Fh'e fellow, Ike," said Uriah. "First rate," answered Jet. "A little slow, though, sometimes, continued Uriah. "Hardly the man for this kind of business?" "Well, I don't know. Ike's n good fellow." "Good fellow? Why, of course he Is. Nobody thinks more of Ike than I do. "Now, I tell you, Jet," continued Uriah, hitching his chair up to the other, "between you and me and that lun ber wagon, Ike Is the wrong man for this business. You wnt a man that can git up and git and ain't afraid to hustle, and Ike will never fill the bill; you mark my words." "Well," said Jet, slowly, "I reckon I never give It thought whether ho would or not. So you think he won't Uo?" "Do? Of course he won't do. I tell you. Jet, just what's common sense for you'n me we'll make up the polish and start out together and let Ike sell what he can around here; that'll let hirn down kind o' easy; but we'll take the big business, for there ain't anybody but us can handle It" Jet rose to his feet. "I'll think the thing over," he said. "Of course, If Ike won't do we'll have to drop him." Jet walked slowly homeward, rubbing his lingers caressingly over the stove lid and shaking his head in accompaniment to his thoughts. As he turned the bend In thu road ho discovered Isaac sitting on the bank ahead of him. "I knew you'd be along pretty soon," said Isaac, rising awkwardly, "and I thought I'd wait for you. No chance to talk business when Uriah is around. A good fellow, too, first rate; only he blows too much." "Blows quite a bit, that's a fact," assented Jet. "Well, you know what he Is and what his folks were before him as well as I do, and you know Just as well that he's no man for this business. You see what you want is a man that has some dignity about him and knows how to approach people In the right sort of way. Now. Uriah don't know what dignity Is. Why, he'd go into a man's parlor just the same as he'd go into a cow stable. Well, sir, that may do around here, but It won't do in the big towns, and that's where you'll make your money. Mighty good thing you've got, Jet; mighty good, but t5 careful and don't throw it away on a man like Uriah. I don't pretend to be no great shucks myself, but If I can't sell more in a day than he can In a whole week I'll eat the samples. But then, If you think I won't do, just say so, and I'll drop out at once." "Oh, I ain't afraid but what you'll do all right," answered .Tor, anxious to conciliate. "But I u'low I hev got my doubts of Uriah." "Of course you have; you're a man of sense and couldn't help but have doubts. I'll have to cut acryss here, but think the matter over, Jot; think it over." "I'll do that," answered Jet, emphatically, as he started on alone again. He walked on rapidly until he came to an old barn along the road. The roof of the barn had been blown off and never replaced, and the whole thing looked very dilapidated but very familiar to .Tor. for It was his barn. lie noticed the hole in the roof and made a mental vow that some of his profits should go to repairing it. Beyond 'tho barn was a little tumble down 'house and tho yard between was tilled with remnants of lumber wagons,hay rake, reaper, bin kboard and several odds and ends of old buildings. A tall, thin and melancholy looking woman was bending over a washtub at the pump. She straightened and stoppod her work as Jet came up. lie went on Into the house and put the stove lid he had been carrying on the stove. Then he rame out and sat down near his wife. "They say there's $10 a day In It for a sure thing; that's what they say." "Well, I'm glad If there is,"sald the woman, sighing softly. "The Lord knows we need It. Is Uriah and Ike goin to take hold of It with you?" "Mebbe they are ajid mebbe they ain't. I know them fellers better than to trust either of thent. I kno- what they'd like they'll shinny up to me and let on they hate each other like pisln till they find out how to make the polish, and then you'd seo them together again thicker'u hops, and I'd be left. Not If I know It. I can make $2,000 a year out of and go It alone." "Can't yot: get me that wrapper tonight, then; It's only 70 cents?" "Only 70 cents? Confound It, don't you know that it will take every cent I can rake and scrape to pet the thing started? IM rather get you a dozen silk dresses two weeks from no a than spare a cent to-night." "I don't see," she began when there was a yell from tho kitchen, followed by the loud voice of a mail "Phew! Judas! What the devil's up here, anyway? Are you trying to burn the house down?" Jet madi'a jump to the door and stoppod aghast. The stove lid, so highly polished but a moment beforo, was now a dull, dirty red, while above It curled a thick, dingy smoke, bearleg with it an odor strong enough to knock down a horse. "Is that the way your polish works Jo.1?" asked a young man coming aroaud the house holding his nose. Jet gave a snort of disgust. "I suppose you'll have to blab It til over town." he growled, and turning away sulkily, went to the barn. What do you think of It?" asked the young man of tho woman. "I think It's a good thing I saved eggs enough to get that wrapper," returned the woman, as she tried to blw the smoke out of the houso with her aproa. . Philadelphia Times.

It is his annua! dutv to furnish a biiof, reciting events of importance that have oeeurred in the civilized world situ o the last message to Congress was written and such facts relating thereto a may interest the President. It is understood that the message will bo particularly strong on the Mei:io doctrine aul conservative on Cuba, notwithstanding the opinions and predictions of the lion. Don M. Dickinson. I have it straight that the President doesn't expect the Cuban revolution to survive the winter. Ho thinks it will be crushed out as soon as tho weather will permit an active campaign by the Spanish army. Secretary Carlisle's report, at the time this is written, has not been begun, although several bureau officers of the treasury are preparing material for it. The tirst copy of Secretary Morton's report is finished and is being revised. It will lv longer than usual, and packed with inform.ttion of interest and value So fanners, live-stock growers, packer's, fruit men. an. particularly to those who are s'ok;ng foreign markets for agricultural prolucts. The report of tho Commissioner of Internal Iiovenue will show that tho total consumption of b; or in tho Cnited States for the last fiscal year, ended June .".. was ... fiU.r,i;t barrels, whi.-h was an in crease of l.M.im barrels over the consumption of IsPt, but a docreas.' of :.t.iill barrels from the consumption of IS!.",.

Kurland Must Fijght. It is the unanimous opinion anions diplomats here that I'liglaml must fight or lose her foothold in the Käst, and that over sine tho olos of tho Japanese war she has ben seeking a pretext for descending upon China to counteract the smri'ss of Kussia and restore lnr vii prestige. It is believed to be the intention of Croat P.ritain, sooner or later, to o-oupy Nanking, just as she seized ami held Hong Kong forty years ago. Nanking is the greatest -ity in the i 1 1 1 i . i- of China and commands the coiiinnr-' !' the Vang 't.e, which is the greatest river and furnishes t ransiMiitat ion for the niot roduetivo and prusperosis portion of the empire. And as soon as liussia takes lM(ssssion of Manchuria, th northern province, and starts her railroad down tho l.iao-Tung Peninsula, John Hull viil lind an excuse to ocupy Nanking and organize a provisional government of his own then', supported by a P.ritish fleet. It matters not what tlu pretext may b. Kngland will demand exactions which the Chinese iovcrnuicnt cannot comply with, and nothing I mi t the combined powers of Kuropo can compel her to loosen her fo.thold when it is meo obtaim-.l. Comnmn-ial disastr threatens 1'nglaml both in Japan and China. Titos countries have been the largest and most profitabh markets for P.ritish nianufaturers, but her trade is decreasing rapidly and beforo many years Japan will supply the Asiatic market with almost everything it needs. The enormous increase of cotton factories in Japan am th-ir raphl introduction into China will soon be felt by the manufacturers f Maiichester. Sine' the treaty of pac between China anl Jap m was signed four companies, with capital of not lo.vs than 1 . M )i .t M M each, have b''ii .rgani.i'd in Shanghai to einstrt:-t cotton mills; two in Nanking, one in II:j:ikow and two nmre at I long Kong, whii li will get tln-ir raw material from America and eat a great hob into the Kngli.h trade. It is trim that thr'-fourths .f th capital to bo invesled in these mills -nines from Kngland and is largily furnislu'd y the cotton manufacturers if that -un-try, who realize the evolution in trade and will move their mills from Kngl.md to Asia as rapidly as they ran.

SHAKEN BY A QUAKE

TERRESTRIAL DISTURBANCE FELT IN MANY STATES. The Tremor Had un East to Wc.-st Direction, Turned Sleepers Out of Bed, Shook Dibhes Off of Shelves and Performed Other Antics. Jinny Were Frightened. Tho central part of the United States experienced n well defined earthquake shortly after o'clock Thursday morning. The shuck and vibratiuns were felt In several States, the dispatches showing that the disturbance exttn Jed from Kentucky on the suuth far into Wisconsin and Michigan, throiigl out Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana, and even as far as West Virginia, where tho shuck was also perceptible. Tho shuck and vibrations were of but a few seconds, but cnated the greatest alarm, and in some instances terror among residents of some of the cities. There was no doubting the nature of the disturbance which shook buildings, slumm 1 doors, rang door bells, and caused articles to topple from shelves, tables, and mantel pie.-os. In tho teleruph oliices of Chicago the vibrations were strongly m:mifest-d. and for a few minutes aft r tho shook telegraphic communication was entirely suspended. Thousands of persons were awakon'd from their shop by the shock. In th publi.. library, on the pp floor of the city hall, books were shaken from the shelves, and in many of ti e oiiiccs in skyscrapers similar circumstan-es were noticed. On the street the milkmen and the policemen feeling the unusual com motion sought shelter in the belief that there was a possibility that one of the tall buildings might fall. The operators in the Western Union Telegraph room became alarmed and left tho building. ('locks were stopped and windows rattled, but nr serious damage was dor.e. The shocks were not aecompaiiied by any rumbling dis turban ce. In St. Louis the trembling of the eartb was so great that many clocks were stopped, dishes ratthd. and at the powerhouses of th elect :Ic-car Um s the current was temporarily interrupted. At Indianapolis the shock was preceded by a rumbling noise. The shock was from north to youth, and the vibration in threestory buildings was at '.east two inches. Many tall c!iimnya were da mag d. llt-pelts received State that the shock was felt as far away as Arkansas and Kansas, and that tho wave passed from west to east. LINCOLN MONUMENT UNSAFZ. Paris of the Structure Thought tö Have licen Marble Arc Hrlck. The Lincoln monument at Oak liidge Cemetery, nein ra-ingtiel 1. which has for the last twenty years boon admired by thousands upon thousands of people from all over tho world, will have to be torn down. It is too far gone to be repaired, and, besides, its construction is sm h that it w ill tmt abnit of repair. Instead of being a substantial pile of solid granite, as external appearances would indicate, it is a rickety structure of brick veneered over with slabs of granite. This is the verdict of State trustees, who have charge of the monument. During the last session of the General Assembly th historic pile was turned over to the State, . .) was appropriIYrlrtr ffflflfllV'r tiik i.ixcot.x Mü.r.'.;i:xT. atel for repairs, and a law passed malting the Governor. Slate treasurer, and State Superintendent of Instruction trustees of the monument to care for it and make the much-needed repairs. When the trustees set about to arrange for the repairs they discovered that the magnificent monument orcetcl to the memory of "Honest Old Abe" was a sham ami a fraud. What appeared to be huge blocks of granite were nothing but thin ylabs laid over brick. "The Lim. In monument is simply a shell," said Governor Altgeld. "It is brick niiMiuinont and has a veneering of granite slabs three inches thick. This veneering is coming loose, just as all veneering will." "Can it be repaired V was asked. "It would be impossible to repair that monument and make it permanent." "The other two trustis'S and'l fool that tho great State of Illinois should have a monument to Lincoln that is not a slmm, but a solid struct tire, and that in order to gt this, this brick and veneered monument should bo taken down and in its stead build a monument of solhl granite from bottom to top, so that it will last for all ages and require no attention from anybody. Wo have almost enough money to do this. However, the trustees do not feel like taking so radical a step unless they should bo requested, to do so by the surviving members of President Lincoln's family." The Lincoln monument was completed in October, 171, and cost ?lSMi,;iiX which amount was raised by popular subKeriptioii. Freight traffic managers of all but four of the railroads which had a membership in the Western trunk line committee met in St. Louis to make an effort to revive and n-orgnuixo that committee. Owing to the absence of the four representatives nothing was done. Now it appears that even tho Texas, n se'ond-chiss battle-ship, cannot be docked at New York without waiting for a big tide. This has caused some speculation among naval otlicers ns to what would occur if the ship met with nn accident at sea and cbme into port in n sinking condition. Mrs. (J. W. Hillings, of Ligonier, Ind., was found lying unconscious on the'grnve of her mother. She had attempted suicide by placing a cloth saturated with chloroform over her face and wrapping & shawl about her head, but will rue t er. i

The jury was ot;t twenty minutes and arrived at the verdict on the tirst ballot. As there was n reoomtnomhition of mercy the punishment was iixed at death. There was n. deliberation at all. Tha Jury had evidently decided upon a verdict before th.y left the box. It was 3:li3 when they filed out f tin courtroom. ILlLI) I'HU A NT IN" HIS Ct'.I.T.. ond at M :."" a knock on tho door announced that a verdict had been found. It took just live minutes of actual tim5 j to elect a foreman and take tho one ballot necessary. A3 the ngod fonnian, palo and trr-m-biing, read the words that tixed Durrant's fate a noise like tho roar of a mob arose from the rear of the courtrom. Tho next moment men were cheering wildly, whilo women wept hysterically in excitement. The bailiff rapped loudly for order, but the tumult continued for a minuto before anything liko iniet ouH bo brought out of the disorder. Judge Murphy named the day for sentence, and said he would then also fix tho dato of Durrani's trial for the murder of Minnie Williams. During the .tumult that followed tho announcement of the verdict Durrant and his mother were lost sight of except by the few who sat nearest them. As th-i Inst words of the verdict wore tittered j Durrant made a spasmodic effort to arise nr.AN( in: i.amoxt, Tin: victim. to his foot, but before ho could lo s Iii mother, with ti half-sigh, lialf-m -an, threw her arms around his ne. k and sunk back into her chair. Durrani's father was not in the room when the verdict was returnod. Aside from tho spectators Mrs. Noble Ithiucho Lnniont's aunt, and Maud Lament, tho dead girl's sister, were apparently the happiest persons iu the ro.m. When tho verdict was announced Maud Lament sprung from In-r seat, clasped her ban. Is and then cried f sheer ex-i-itement. Mrs. Noble mixed smiles with tears and shook bands with a number of friends w ho crowded around to congratulate her.
