A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. I

TERRE HAUTE, JULY 7,

HIS BABY WAS DEAD

The jolly conductor had been laying off for a few days on account of sickness at home, but one day he appeared on his train looking pale, and the brake* man who bad ran with him for years knew the conductor's mind was away at the bedside of hit* sick baby. With a punch in band and bis heart in bis throat the conductor entered the smok ing-car and said "Tickets," in a voice not at all like its usual sound. *t was more like an appeal to bis Heavenly Father to watch over the baby at home. Four drummers were sitting together in two seat, all good friends of the conductor, and as be took their thousand-mile tickets to punch one said, "Old man, you were up late last night. Beware of the wine cup" and be laughed, and the other boys laughed, and the conductor tried to smile, bo4 he couldn't. Another drummer who had traveled with the conductor for years, and loved him as a brother, thinking he was a little off, maidt •'Oh, boys, wait till he goes through the train and collects a few cash fares, and he will brighten up. Then I will tell him the last story," and they all laughed at their.old friend, and he punched the last of their tickets and went on with a forced smile, and .as a tear rollod down his cheek the boys thought he had a cinder in his eye. The last drummer slapped him on the arm and said, "Come back soou to your own chickabidlly," and as be went out of the car a laugh arose, and he stood on the platform a minute, because he felt faint and then entered the othor car. tie knew almost every passenger, and on any other day he would have been glad to have them speak to him as they did, and chaff and joke but that day every word seemed to be a bullet. He was present In body, but hfs mind was far away, and when be put a check in the band of a lady's turban hat, instead of putting it In the window and she blushed, and the passengers laughed, they thought he did it for a Joke, but it was because he did riot know what he was doing, his mind being with the sick baby at home. Ho burned along and a lady with a little three-year-old girl was next, a child just the ago of his sick one. The mother had thought it would please the conductor to let the child hand the ticket to him. and the little one had the ticket in its fat hand, and was shrinking back behind the lnamuu., trying to muste/ up courage to lmnd the ticket to the big conductor, who had often held her in bis lap when she was on his train, when he would laugh so hearty that the child would be surprised, and he would tell her of his little baby at home. The child peeked around mamma's shoulder and saw the conductor before he saw her, and he looked so changed and snd that the little one opened her eyes in wonder, and handed up the ticket carefully, as though he would bite, and when he saw her he almost fainted, and when she said "where's 'oor baby," he thought his heart would jump out of his breast. The tears ran down hfs face and he whispered "she may be dying now," and as he went out on the platform at a station he felt that it would almost be a mercy if the train would run over him. He went In tho car and finished his work, and returned to the smoker and sat down in an end seat, then got nervous and went into tho baggago-car, passing the largehearted drummers, who were full of fun and wanted him to be, and they said, "Come, old boy, sit down nereand have a snitke," but he said in a husky voice that he hadn't time, and as ho went out

tho door, he braced up enough to turn and smile at the boys through the window and throw a kiss at them, because ho didn't want them to think he would go back entirely on old frieuds ljut when he got in the baggage ear and sat down In a chair ho looked like a man who had lost every friend. At the next station, a woman with a little girl was cross to tho child, and jerked it along by the arm and he snatched tho little one from the mother and entirely lifted it on tbe car, and the {mother looked indignant, and she got on the car and pushed the little one along the aisle, and sat it down in a seat as though she would like to break Us bones, and the conductor looked at her as though if sbe were a man he would everlastingly wipe the platform with ber. He got on tbecar In the war of the smoker that time because bis old friends, the drummers, were so thoughtless of his feelings. He did not realize that they were unaware of his sorrow. Every"kind expression from the passenger* seemed to him littfeari unfeeling remark, aud he would have giveu a month's salary to have been at home, Or an where that everybody felt as bad as he din. At the next station be got a dispatch, and bis hand shook like a leaf, and he dared not look at it out of doors, but he went In the smoker and sat down in front of the drummers and opened the dispatch, glanced at it, and put his head on his baud and leaned his elbow on the window. The boys looked at him, and one .said, not thinking, anything had occur ml more than the usual order to hold the train for another to pass, "Hello, tbe old man has got his discharge. O, 1 have been expecting it shire he collected that twenty cents from tbe tramp last week and knocked it down." Then they laughed, and one oft he boys touched tbe conductor on the shoulder and said, "Never tnlnd, eld boy, fellows will aw* j.through. We will get you a sample ease to carry. The conductor reached the dispatch over to the traveling man, and sntt "r"»i it," and tfcr friend read," "y .* b»! la dead, con.' back on No. —. Oive your train to your head brakeman."

The Dukee-Nult tragedy recalls a tragic romance that occurred in Kentucky forty years ago. Colonel Sbarpe, the United States District Attorney at Frankfort, became engaged to a Miss Cook, daughter of a widow residing four miles from Bowling Green. After a time be became suspicious of the girl's purity, telling bis friends that be had heard that Miss Cook bad yielded to a vile passion for a negro. The engagement was ftroken oft, and in a short time Miss Cook learned of the cause. Her resentment grew into bitter hatred of Sharpe, and shame caused ber entire seclusion from soicety. A man named Beachamp, who greatly admired Miss Cook for ber beauty and spirit,contrived, after various ruses, to see the young lady, and proposed to her. She accepted bim on the condition that be would take the life of her traducer. Beaucbamp readily consented, and in a few days took a walk in company with Sharpe to a secluded spot. Then, gi vii bim a pistol, Beaucbamp warn Sharpe to defend himself. The Colonel refused, and, declaring be would kill him at the first opportunity,Beaucbamp retirev!. One night, disguised as a negro the lover wont to the residence of Sbarpe, wbom be stabbed to the heart aud tied. He was suspected of the crime and pursued to the house of Miss Cook, where, after a desperate tight, fa which several of the Sheriff's deputies were wounded, Beaucbamp and Miss Cook were arrested. Henry Clay and Amos Kendall were engaged in the ease as counsel. But before the trial was finished poison was smuggled into the cells of the prisoners, of which they partook. Miss Cook died from the Effects of her dose, but, Beaucbamp recovered. I was but a few days afterward, however,that, securing a knife, he fatally stabbed himself. Titie case had a natianal notoriety.

SEE HERER BO YS.

In tbe last number of the Saturday Night is the following from the pen of Mrs. D. M. Jordan

Just wait a minute until I talk to you for a little while. I know all about you, every oneol you, and that is why I want to speak. I know the old saying that "boys will be boys" no matter what comes and goes, and I wouldn't have them be anything else, for they are dear with all their faults. But there are a few things In which they might improve, renerally speaking. One of the main suits is lack of consideration for tbe feelings, love and tenderness to'your mothers. Think of the sacred and mysterious relation which you bear to her alone of all the world there is no indelicacy in saying that your pulses caught their color and beating from her tender heart, that you owe everything to her loving patience and care, that her heart has throbbed in unison with your baby heart beats and so intimately is it "grown around you, and woven into the fibers of your inmost being that it is duith to tear it away. Think of the weary days of helpless inlancy, when she cradled you upon her waim "bosom, sang away your baby griefs and pains, watching every breath you drew to guard you from sickness and danger. Then the neriod of learning to walk and talk, tbe auuehing of your little bark upon the great tide of humanity. Sbe steered you clear of breakers and quicksands until you had learned to paddle your own canoe. Even the commonest mothers have done this, but many have wrought the work with prayer and hope for your noble youth aud manhood.

What return are you making her for all this Do you ever wound her sensitive soul by unklndness, by disobedience, short answers, seeking bad company, or any of tho countless ways in which you may plant a thorn in her heart? "Better you had never opened your baby eyes upon the light of this lovely world" Think how soon the day will come, even at the longest, when this best and truest friend will be taken from you. Then, indeed, as the years multiply and von leain the hypocrisy and falsenoss o# the world, you will know what a priceless treasure you have lost.

Some one has said, and truly, that "the boy will tramp thirty or forty miles in'one day on a rabbit hunt, and be fresher and limberer in the evening, but if you ask him to cross the street and borrow Jones' two-inch auger, he will be stiff as a meat block. And he will go swimming all day and stand in the water three hours at a time, and splash and dive and paddle, but if bis sister asks nim to wash his face he takes it as an insult. And he'll wander aiound s^nd cut his initials In every bridge for milee. but will nearly die if asked to cut a little kindling. And he'll turn a ten acre lot upside down for fish worms, but looks disconsolate at the request to spade up the onlorf bed.'* Now all this is true, lamentably so, yet we love the boy and his whistling Isniusic, for we know that the day will come when he will be a cars orn man with no fountain of fun in his natnre. But you who have motheta, from this day "forth resolve to do everything in vour power to save them a heai^ohe. You do not know bow they lie In bed and listen for your coming when you are .out late, and how many mornings their cheeks are pale from" the vigil. It is tbe fashion to sneer at "the old woman" who prays and watches over your welfare. See that you to rej her in some m, -noe forall iiat she La* wrought and suffered for your sake.

The trouble with most j»dy passengers is that they regard train manipulators as automats, ignorant of their duties, and hired only to purvey misinformation.

Select your seat the tenter of the car, or as near the center a^ you can get. In summer take tbe shady side, and in winter take tbe side to windward, that is, against which tbe wind is (Rowing.

Faith Rochester In Agriculturist.

It is a pity tbat women do not walk more in the open air, as there is no exercise belter for the health. Household exercise cannot take its place in-door air is not so pure, and the limits of the house are too small to allow free play of the museles. A woman who is accustomed to be on her feet almost constantly in the daily routine of the housework, i» often a very poor walker and the good walker sometimes finds herself greatly wearied by the busy housekeeper's round of duties. A friend who lately applied to an eminent physician for counsel in regard to some chronic difficulty of theihroat, received as the most im'portant part of tbe prescription, plain, wholesome diet, and long walks in the open air." This was because itwas seen that an improvement of her general health would put an end to tbe ocal trouble. So it is with a great majority of our hcal ailments they depena upon the general health. The physician will usually prescribe a "tonic," something to "tone up" the system. The very best of tonics are pure air and exercise. and without these, all others are of little use.

Women suffer a good deal from cold feet, oven in summer. Walking is the best thing to cure or to prevent, this trouble not mere sauntering, but brisk walking fast and far enough to set the blood in motion. WHY THE PLAY TFVLS INTER-

RVPTED. Boston Globe.

Some of the nice children on Commonwealth avenue recently proposed to surprise their patents with a dramatic performance with tbe distinct understanding that no adult was to witness a rehearsal or to ask about the nature of the play written by a young miss of teu years, who was to assume the role of heroine, asuisted by a lad of the Fame age. On the night of the performance tbe parents of the children assembled in the front drawing room of one of the large residences and waited for the drawing aside* of the portieres with commendable patience. The first scene represented the wedding of the hero and heroine and the departure of the former for the wilds ol the West, where be was to reap bis fortune in raising cattle and mining. This went off finely, and tbe portieres were closed with aloud burst of applause. A lapse of ten years was supposed to have passed between tbe first and second acts, and when the act commenced the young husband had returned, and his wife, not looking a day older, greeted her spouse in a formal manner, and even asked bim to remain and dine with her, which he consented to do. While seated at the table eating ice cream the husband told bow be bad toiled for wealth and acquired millions all for tbe sake of the dear wife he had left behind. This bad such an effect on the matron that she finished the Ice cream, alghed to think there was no more on the table, and then addressed ber husband, speaking earnestly and firmly: "You bave done well, she said, "but while you bave been at work I have not been idle. You shall see what I have accomplished." Sbe touched a hell, arid a white capped bonnie entered tbe room, leading a toddling infanta year old, and followed by nine others of various ages, one for each year of married life. The actors to this day do not understand why tbe play was interrupted by shouts of laughter and applause from tbe fathers and mothers who were present. At any rate, they say the play waa a access, but the parents think it a little Freneby In construction and plot.

A Fraskltx, Mass., dog saw a man drop his handkerchief in the street. The dog picked it up, and going to tbe door of the bouse into which tbe man had entered, made his presence known by repeated rapa. When the door opened th* ingpresented tbe lost handkerchief its owner. 'K,

Just before arriving at a meal station get in readiness to alight, but doaX-^iQ^ When tbe air is calm and still, hurry or fuss. There is plenty or time, and worry is quicker than a dinner to destroy tbe appetite. Don't lumber yourself with wrap# and light luggage in going to a meal. Leave them itt tbe car. They are safer there than under vour change in the restaurant, wbere you are apt to leave tbeni in the hurry of leaving for the train.

Twenty minutes are* allowed for "refreshments," and they mean twenty minutes. Eat your meal obedientlyThere is no need of haste, and you will be surprised to find how much time yom have if you don't use it up in fretting. A good way is to watch the conductor, ana though you may be surprised at first 10 see that he has time to joke with his neighbor, you will see tbat he gets as much to eat as anybody, and something more.

WALKING FOR HEALTH.

It is as necessary for your beauty that you look on the bright side of life as for your bealtb and happinesp. But there are some things which help to keep the smoothness of the skin. The bath in hot milk at bed-time is ono. And I have known persons to use a wash made of one fluid ounce of gum benzoin put into seven ounces of distilled rose-water, and half an- ounce of plycoiine added, with excellent effect. They baLhe the face, neck and hands with it on going to bed, and let it dry on, then wash it off in the morning with a little soft water and pure white oastile soap. Be sure never to use bard water on your face. If there Is no other way, soften it with a little powder ed borax, or a few drops of ammonia."

FLIES AND MOSQ, UI TOES. American Agriculturist. There area few places in which it will not pay to provide all of the windows, at least of rooms tbat are used, and the outer doors, with screens of wire cloth. Those who cannot afford tbe outlay for wire screens, will find a cheap but not durable substitute in mosquito netting The frames may be placed just inside of the window sash, and so arranged as to answer foy either tbe upper or lower half of tbe window. In spite of all tbe nettings, some files will make their way in. These may be easily driven out by closing the blinds of all tbe windows but one, which should be left partly open at tbe top. Two persons, each with a folded newspaper, can readily «. rive every fly out at the open window. Rooms used only at night should be put in order and aired very early in the morning, and kept closed during the day. To clear a sleeping room of mosquitoes, take a piece of paper rolled around a lead pencil to form a case, and fill this with very drv Pyretbrurn powder (Persian Insect Powder), putting in a little at a time, and pressing it down with the pencil.' This cartridge, ortigarette, may be set In a cup of sand to bold it erect. An hour before going to bed tho room is to be dosed, and one of these cartridges burned. A single cartridge will answer for a small room, but for a large one, two are required. Those who have tried this find it effectually disposes of tbe mosquitoes. Wbere rain water is caught in casks or tanks, these afford breeding places for myriads of mosquitoes. Ail such water receptacles should have tight covers.

No matter how troublesome tbe flies, do not be tempted to use tho so-called fly powder or "Cobalt." This is not cobalt at all, but crude arsenic, and ts exceedingly dangerous—alt the more so as it is sold under a wrong name. The fatal pola umg of children within our koowfedge, laid us to warn against its use Some of tbe fly-papers contain arsenic, and should beavokied. Quassia is poisonous to flies, but harmless. Make a strong tea of the chips (sold fay druggists), sweeten, and expose in plates wbere the flies caii get it.

Then with clear rainwater, into which you bave put two or three drops of ammonia, rub briskly but gently over your whole face.

But if you use soap at all, be sure that it is always the purest while eastile or something equally as fine and cleansing "Before you go to bed wash off your face with milk diluted with hut water. It is well, think, to bave the whole wash as hot as it can be used whenever it iR convenient. Dry tbe skin always-with a soft towel, instead of the coarse one that you mentioned. "If you want to keep your skia soft and tine, don't, I beg ot you, wash it immediately before or after going into the open ai*.

I do to a ceriaki extent. A young girl like you should not need to make a practice of using tbem, and yet if care is taken in the choice, not to employ those which coutaiu things wthich are poisonous, I do not think any harm will be done by applying them occasional}'. 'But one precaution must be taken always wash off the face carefully before retiring, or before repealing the application. A celebrated physician in New !York whose specialty is skin disease, nays that in his opinion, cosmetics can jbe-esed without injury it proper cleanliness is observed The trouble comes often from putting powder upon powder. Never do that." "But how are we to know what kiud of cosmetics are harmless?" "i will tell you, although I do not want you to begin to use them until yuu-have tried the oare- rules I have given you- Anything that contains sugar ol Jead is injurious, and you can always detest its presence by dropping a little ammonia into it before using. If the lead.ia there the powder or liquid will turn- black. So far as powder is concerned, you may know it is absolutely harmless by making it yourself. While roses-and violets are in bloom, take tho fresh blossoms and bury them in finely pulverised starch. Remove the wither ed flowers in twenty-four lioursandsubstitute more, and continue* to do this for a week, by which time the starch will have become full of fragrance. In the summer it is almost impossible to do without something of this kiud. it cools tbe skin and takes off the sbinv look that so detracts from the beauty of tbecomplexion." "But now do you keep off wrinkles? There area few faint lines upon your face, but one can scarcely see them.'' "Lines willcorne with the years, if you think and feel. But I shall have to tell you what my dear old grandmother told me, and I never forgot it. I had been fretting over some trifie^ and she looked at me through ber glasses in ber odd way. 'Cbilcv »be said, don't get into a pucker about nothing. It helps to make a wrinkle.' And it is true. More women make lines in tbeir faces by use less fret and worry than seems possible.

SIMPLE FAITH:

A POOR MAN'S THEORY OF THE PLAN OF HUMAN SALVATION.

Bill Nye in Texas Rtftiny.

Up in Polk county, Wisconsin, not'

same disease went to thehealth officer of

immortality. He calmly investigated the matter, and never for a moment n«i sight of tbe fact tbat he was town officer and a professed Christian. "You ask aid, I understand," said he, "to prevent tbe spread of the disease,and also tbat tbe town shall assist you in procuring new and necessary clothing to replace tbat which you have been compelled to burn in order to stop the further inroads of diphtheria. Am I

he poor man answered affirmatively. "May I ask if your boys who died were Christian boys, and whether tbey improved their gospel opportunities and attended the Sabbath-school, or whether they were profane and given over to Sabbath-breaking

The bereft father said that his boys had uever made a profession of Christianity that they were hardly old enough to do so, and tbat they might have missed some gospel opportunities, owing to tho. fact that tbey were poor and hadn't clothes fit to wear to Sabbath school. Possibly, too, tbey had met with wicked companions and bad been taugbt to swear be could uot say but they might bave sworn, although he thought that tbey would bave turned out to be good boys had they lived. "I aia sorry that the case is so bad,'' said the health officer. "I am led to believe that Qod has seen fit to visit you with affliction in order to express His divine disapproval of profanity, and 1 cannot belpyou. It ill becomes us poor tweak worms of tbe dust to medrMe with ?the just judgments* of Qod. Whether as ail individual or as a quasi-corporation, it is well to allow the Almighty to work out His great plan of salvation and to avoid all carnal interference with the wf rks of God.''

Tho old man went back to- lite desolate home aud to the bedside of bis only living child. I met him yesterday and he told me about it all. "lam nota-profeesor of religion.," said he, "but I tell you, Mr. Nye, I can't believe that this board of health has used me right. Somehow I ain't worried about my little-fellows that's gone. They was little fellers anyway, ana they wasn't posted on the plan of salvation, but tbey was always Kind and always minded me and their mother. If Qod is using diphtheria agin perfanity this season they didn't know about it. They was too"young to know about it and 1 was too poor to take the papers, so I did not know it uuther. I just thought that Christ was partial to little kids like mine, just the same as He used ty be 2,000 years ago, when the couutry wa?\ new. I admit that my little shavers never went to Sabbath-setool much, and 1 wasn't scholar enough to throw much light ento God's system of retribution, but I told 'em to behave themselves, and they did, and we had a good deal of Inn together—me and the boys—and they was so bright and square, and cute that I didn't see how they could fall under divine wrath, and I don't believe they did. I could tell yon lots of smart little tricks that they used to do, Mr. Nye, but tbey wa'n't mean nor cussed. Tlio was just Irolicky and gay sometimes because they felt good.. •'Mind you,.I don't kick because I am left here akme In the woods,and the sun don't seem to sbino, and the birds seem a little backward about singin' this spring, and the house Is so quiet, and she is still all the same and cries in tho night when she thinks I am asleep. A! that is tough,. Mr. Nye—tough as the old

Harry, too—but it's so, and I ain't murmurin', but when the board of health says to me that the Ruler of the Universe is makin'a tower of northern Wiscon sin, mowin' down little boys with sore throats because they say 'gosh,' 1 can't believe it,. "I know tbat people whoaln't familiar with the facts will shake their heads and say I'm a child of wrath, but I can't help it. All I can do is to go up tJieio under the trees wbere tbem little graves is, and think how all-fired pleasant to me them little, short lives was, and how every one of them little fellers was wel come when he come, poor as I was, and how I raatled with poor crops and pine slumps to buy close for 'em, and didn't care a cent for style as long as they was well. That's the kind of a neretic I am, and if God is like a father that settles it. He wouldn't wipe out my family just to establish discipline, I don't believe. The plan of creation must be on a blgget scale than that, it seems to me, or else its more or less of a fizzle. "That board of health is better road than I am. It takes tbe papers, and can add up figgers, and do lots oft hings that I can't do but when them fellers tells me that they represent the town of Balsam Lake and tbe Kingdom of Heaven, my morbid curiosity is aroused, and I want to see their stlffykits of election."

RICH WOMAN'S DRESS. Chicago News. It is a wonder to me tbat some of the newspaper men or women around lown haven't found out tbat Mrs. Marshall Ffekf is a woman who dresses less extravagantly than tbe wife of any rich man hi Chicago."
