JUDITH.

Slower of youth in the ancient frame, Maid of the mettlesome lip and eye. Lightly wearing the fatefnl name

And the rakish beaver of days gone by! Pink of fashion! Yet thin is she That once through midnight forest and fen Guided the horsemen of "old San toe"

And rode to the death with Marion's men. Bare the picture that docks the wall Bare end dainty in life below My century later belle of the ball.

Mocking the beauty of long ago. If now the miigmons should come to ride Through sticn a darkness as brooded then, How would it please yon to serve as goidef

And where, ah, where were Marion's menf False the logic that breeds the fear. Buds will blossom, and pipes will playBo it was in that early year, 8o shall it be till the world is grayBat the petted darling, if need shall be,

As swift to the saddle will vanlt again. And those that follow will ride as free As ever of old rode Marion's men. —William Yonng in Century.

A FARMEE GOT EVEN

There are four men in Chicago whc will never forget Silas Tatman's visit to the city. It will be many days before those same men will be able to show tip at the depots again to prey on the con fldenee of rural strangers.

When 85! as came to town, he camc with the avowed intention of revenging himself on a smooth spoken yonng man who had met him on a former visit and had relieved him of a carpetsack containing the visitor's money and return ticket He did not expect to enoonntei the same follow, but made up his mind to administer to the first man whc claimed to know him the warmest reception tho scoundrel had ever met with.

Tatman came in from Bunkum. Bunkum is not on the map, and one could go to the place with a repeating rifle and shoot all tho inhabitants without reloading. But, small as it is, it can boast of a citizen who outwitted font of the cleverest "oon" men in Chicago.

Bunkum is also renowned for its large hornets' nests and the warlike and "grouchy" dispositions of their occupants. In Tatman's hog lot hung one of these nests from a limb of a locust tree. It was a gigantic specimen and the terror of the neighborhood.

The morning Silas left far Chioagc he went out in the hog lot very early, before the hornets were astir. Ho took with him an old green carpetbag, and this he opened and slipped carefully around tho oblong nest, closing the clasp quickly without losing a hornet. "When he took tho train later in the day, he smiled with dolight as he thought of tho harrowing scene that would take plaoe whon the oarpetbag was opened.

When Silas arrived at the depot, instead of going to the hotel he sat down in the smoking room and waited. Hi9 mission was similar to that of tho confidence m:iu. Ho was in quest of a strauger wtio would cultivate his acquaintance only to rob him of his hornets and regret it to his dying day. Occasionally Parmer Tatman would look down at his carpetbag. As he did so ho shook with glee.

Ths Bunkum farmer had not been seated flvo minutes when he was approached by a follow with a sharp, inquisitive now and a oheokedsuit. "Ah, ha!" thenght Tatman, as the stranger extended his huud. "I've got you." "I bciievo I know you," Bald the sharp ncsed individual. "Lot me see, you are from"— "JBnnkum," replied Tntman. "To Le auro—Bunkum. Aud your uamo K'— "Tat ...\»." "Wl y, of course. How are yon. Mr. Tgtinai:?"' "Toir ublo." And Mr. Tatman lookod down nt his hornets and chuokled. "My ::.:n»o's Cunningham," went on the stra::gor, grasping one of Silas' hands in lrth his own. "You remember I was vlsiti'ig Bunkum few years ago with B..".kor—a—oh, I never can reinomber names. You know who I mean, though. He's the principal banker in your town."

Thorn never was a banker within 20 1 ilea of Bunkum, but Farmer Tatman v.us playing a hand, so he said: "Know 'im? W: 1, I should say I da You mean old Squvre Jones?"

Jones, of course. Ha, ha, ha I Strange I couldn't romomber tho name." "Hn, ha, hal 'Twas kinder funny." And Si! .s fairly danced with Joy. reckon ihnr ain't a nioe quiet little place somewhere whero a feller can talk with a friend what ho ain't seen for nigh on to two year." This was just what Cunningham wanted. "Oh, yes," said be in his softest tone. 'I know jujt tho placcw It's not over a block from here. "Then I reckon we might as well gc if you're suro it's safe walking through tho streets with as much monoy as I've got in this hero satchel."

At tho word money Silas deteoted an expression of eagerness and pleasure on the scoundrel's face, aud the fellow's fingers soemed to itoh as the two walked along. "Ain't you afraid," said be, "of being robbed?" "Waal, yon Just bet your sweet life the follow who opens old Silas Tatman's valise will bo sorry." And the Bunkum farmer smiled inwardly.

Hero Cunningham turned on a little aide street, leading his friend by the arm. About half way down the blook they turned into a dark and dingy looking saloon. Cunninghanf spoke familiarly to the barkeeper, who dixeofeeri them to a wineroom in the back of the place. The two sat down at the table and wero joined presently by throe other meifc One of them was a fat man, who tried to get Tatman to play cards 'just tor fun."

Another one of the men won a while vest and a polka dot necktie. He did •n tbe and after Cunningham had whispered a few words in tbe fellow** ear he oould hardly keep his eyes Off the carpetbag. He wm introduced to Tatman as Thomas W. RIooafttM, thf board of trade man. "Iteeeme, Mr. Tatman," aM Bloom* "that you an vacj oaretom with

your money. Mr. Cunningham tells me that you carry it in your satoheL "You bet I have got a lot of money in that ere old carpetbag. I was kinder thinkin of specnlatin with it." "Perhaps you would like to have me invest it in wheat I think yon could make a big staka "I'm kinder 'fraid of losin it" "Oh, not at all not if it's well in vested. People only lose their money through carelessness. But of oourse some one has to lose money to keep the stuff properly in circulation." "Waal, I hain't got much money to lose, and I'm feared if I was to open that ere bag that mine would get to cir culatin, and you bet it would circulate mighty dera fast" "Well, if you did lose it, it would stick to some one's fingers." "You bet your blame life she would and she'd stick purty gol denied fast' "So you don't want me to invest it for you?" 'I'm a little bit scary 'bout puttin it in wheat" "Norisk whatever," said Bloomfield. "Why, I tell you, Mr. Tatman, a good speculator can pick money off the trees here in Chicago."

Bloomfield's expression tickled Tat man. He laughed uproariously and then said: "You can pick it off the trees in Bunkum, too, but you can't keep it long, 'cause it circulates toodern fast'

By this time the men were growing impatient, and Tatman noticed that they looked more frequently and longer at the carpetbag. He thought it about time to take his revenge, so he said: "Waal, gentlemen, I reckon I'd better be a-goin, and I'd like to leave that 'ere money with you, so as it'll be safe while I hunt up a stoppin plaoe."

The men were perfectly willing to accommodate Farmer Tatman. They assured him that the carpetbag and its contents would be perfectly safe and that they would be willing to wait until he came back. 'Much obliged, gentlemen." And Tatman arose. 'Tisn't very often that a feller meets such kind friends as you are in a strange city, and it's kinder sooth in ter know that a fellow's leavin his money with honest people. I reckon 11 be back in about an hour." And Tatman once more thanked his friends as he passed out of the room, dosing the door behind him.

Tatman did not leave the saloon, as tho men expected. By a clever dodge he managed to slip the key of the door in his pocket before he left the room. He remained on the outside long enough to silently turn tbe bolt in the lock, after which he slipped into the adjoining room. He did not wait long before he heard one of the men say: "Well, that was the easiest snap I ever saw." Silas reoognized the voice as that of Cunningham. Then Bloomfield answered: 'Easy! Why, you could rob that fool before his eyes and he woudn't know it Huud up tho granger's gripsack."

Tatman heard the sound of the gripsack striking the top of the table. Then he heard them prying at the lock. Presently he hoard the clasps give, and in anothor instant a piercing yelp rent the air. Whack 1 Crash! Bang! The chairs were upturned and the table was tumbled over in the mad scramble for the door.

Then he heard some one say: "Great heavens! Thoy'ro hornets and tho door is looked."

The howls and yelps which followed brought tho bartender and the proprietor to the soeue. Tho Bunkum farmer seized the opportunity to slip out of the saloon, and as he was passing into tho street he heard the door crash in as one of the men on tho insido dealt it a blow with a chair. Over his shoulder he saw a stream of hornets sail after the barlender. twenty minutes later, from his retreat in tho alley across the street, Tatman saw his five friends limping out of tho saloon to the ambulance which had been called and whioh had backed up to tho curbstone.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Double Shots at Game.

The prido of a sportsman is to make a good double at game. Take a ruffed grouse hunter, for instanoe. He puts up two of tho birds at once. They go whirring off through the brush and are brought down one after tho other. That makes the hunter happy.

A Texas deer hunter riding along on horseback once saw a couple of deer leap from their beds and start off on a jump. He dropped both, one with each barrel They were big bucks.

A hunter in Wisconsin saw three bears fleeing away through the timber. Ho killed two of them and wounded the third so that he got it the next day.

A German hunting hares with a 16 gauge shotgun loaded with No. 8 shot saw two deer running, one behind the other. He killed them both at 20 yards.

Men on the plains in tbe days when antelopes were far more plentiful than now used to get within shot of a bunch and then, by shooting tbe leaders, manage to get all the bunch. It was tbe same with elk, while buffaloes were killed by doaens, but such shots were not pleasing to the men who made them in any other sense than that they brought so much money. This was market hunting.—New York Sun.

Cnr Alexander's Utile Joke.

Mr. W. 8. Harwood contributes to St Nicholas a sketch of Joseph Francis, the inventor of the life boat Mr. Harwood says:

He had been received one day by the caar at dinner. Tbe caar was food of witnessing experiments with new inventions, and Mr. Francis was asked oat into a ronm opening from a conservatory j, an inventor with some newfangh-u force pump was going to give an exhibition. After they had seen the pump the csar took hold of the noaate of the pipe and turned it in tbe direction of the ladies of the court, who were in the conservatory. Winking to Mr. Francis, the caar. in mischief, gave them a slight sprinkling, begging pardon afterward for his awkwaikna

Treatment of Books.

The real beauty of a book is undeniably to be looked for beyond the covers, yet the wealth and beauty of the an thor's thought may find fitting clothing in sightly paper and an artistio binding. The indifference of many scholarly men to the outward form in which the great thoughts of their literary favorites appear before them is as strange as is the indifference of others to all books that are not specimens of fine printing and binding.

Buskin, the lover of the beautiful in the common things of life, is an offender where books are ooncerned. He appreciates a book for what it contains and can appreciate it no more though its outer clothing bear the mark of the most artistic skill. It is said that he never so much as inquired in what form his own books were to be given to the world. So long as his utterances appeared, he cared not in what garments they were clothed.

Ernest Benan was another scholar to whom the outward appearance of a book made no appeal. His large library is said to have contained no fine bindings. His study was his workshop, his books the tools that aided him in the attain ment of his end, and he was not particularly careful of his tools, they say.

Of Darwin it is affirmed that he seemed unaware of the difference in the value of books and would treat a Zaehnsdorf binding with the same scant courtesy that he exercised toward a penny pamphlet. Covers appeared to him a useless weight and decidedly in the way, and he often got* rid of them by ripping them off. Sometimes the book was borrowed.

It is said that in the end his friends used to give him any book whioh he wished to borrow, for they knew that, if it were ever returned, its usefulness as a book would be at an end.—Youth's Companion.

His Fatal Blunder.

"Beautiful one," he said, "oan't you forgive me? I will try to live it down. I will become great for your sake and make the world envy you as my wife."

No," the fair girl replied, and there was a resolute ring in her voioe, "it cannot be. I must respect the promise that I made to my mother upon her deathbed."

He knelt at her feet and looked beseeohingly up at her, unmindful of tbe fact that the flies were congregating in droves upou his person.

Jane,"he groaned, "do not leave me out here alone. I cannot, I will not, give you up! It would kill me. You are the only one I ever can love. Say that you will recall the words that you have just spoke—I mean spoken"—

Ah!" she interrupted. "There it is again! No, no, a thousand times no! It must not be! I am sorry for you, but we are ,not in the same class. I hope that some day you may find another who will make you happy."

Then she bounded lightly over the fence and started on a dog trot back toward Boston, while the young man laid his cheek upon an ant hill and wept

He was from Buffalo and ten minutes before had said, "I done it."—Cleveland Leader.

How Do Men In Mara Behave? It does seem a cruel thing that what sort of beings the Marsian irrigators may be should never be to us anything beyond a hypothesis, They may have— and they probably have—senses and forms very different from all that we, reasoning by analogy from the creatures on our planet, can imagine. Do they exceed us in intelligence? Have they found means to use the forces of nature in a way not dreamed of by us? There, as here, are there some overburdened with wealth and others in misery and want? Do they, like us, massacre each other and deem this the most gloriou6 occupation in which beings endowed with reason can be engaged? Do they have kings and grovel before them? Do they overeat and overdrink themselves! Is there the vaguest resemblance in their thoughts and habits to ours?—London Truth.

In the Blsmaroklan Vein.

The reply of Jules Favre when Bismarck said that if any one had begun to oount six milliards at the birth of Christ he would not yet have completed his work is in the best Bismarokian vein. "Well," was the answer, "that is precisely why I have summoned to my side some one who began to oount even beforo the birth of Christ," the al lusion being, of oourse, to the Jewish bankers Bleichroder and Erlanger. And it is easy to picture Bismarok growling at his physioian, "Don't ask so many questions," and then caving in to the retort: "Then please consult a veterinary surgeon. He asks no questions." —Saturday Review.

The Magnetism of Rome.

The attraction of such a church as is that of Rome is partially, no doubt an imaginative attraction, but not purely one of the imagination. Even Dr. Martiueau, whose point of view has been so different that he regards apostolic authority itself as by no means final, has described the Church of Borne as "the missionary of nations^ the associate of history, the patron of art the vanquisher of the sword." .And yet he would admit no final authority at all in the dogmatic decisions of a church which he so describes and would make very light of his episcopal lineage. Newman and Manning were neither of them overwhelmed by the more imaginative grandeur of the church's history. But they both came to believe that no one generation of Christians could rightly emancipate themselves from the guidance of all previous generations of Christians on the strength of a new study of the Scripture or a just indigna tion at the depth of some of the practical corruptions of the church.

They were in search of an authority at once in lineal connection with the church of the apostles and full of visible life and energy at the present day. They thought that the Anglican church could hardly claim anything like continuity with the church of the apostles, and that the Greek church oould hardly claim sufficient independence of state life, or, indeed, sufficient vitality and energy, to mark it out as an institution of the first order of originality and influence at the present day.—-London Spectator.

Wise Ostrich.

The stock illustration of what a fool will do is the habit which ostriches have of sticking the head into the sand, leaving the body texpoeed, but the author of 'The Gold Diggings of Cape Horn" says that this habit does not seem foolish to one who studies the ostrich in its desert home. On the contrary, it is nature's wise provision for the safety of the bird in a region where hiding plaoes are scarce.

The male ostrich hatches out the eggs, looks after the brood, keeps his eyes open for men, beasts and birds, and sounds a loud snorting, warning call when he sees an enemy. The brood, when warned, fades out of sight Each chick squats motionless, its head in the sand, and its body so near in color to that of the sand and soant herbage as to deodive even an experienced hunter.

Its body looks like a gray desert bush, and the gauchos—the cowboys of the pampas—when searching for ^rcing ostriches examine every bush within many rods of the spot where a brood disappears. Ofton what seemed a bush is found to be in part or wholly a young ostrich. With its head up the bird would be at once detected. With its head in the sand, it often escapes even the keen eyed fox.

A New Soporific.

It is said that a new soporifio, to which the name pellotin has been given, has been discovered in a Mexican cactus called anhalonium. The native Mexicans eat slices of tho plant, whioh they call "pellote." Its hypnotio alkaloid has been separated by Dr. Hefter of Leipsic. One grain of pellotin is equal in its effects to grains of trional and 81 grains of hydrate of chloral. It is effective in quieting delirium tremens, only in large doses.—New York Tribuna

A Planslble Theory.

"Since that fellow moved in next to me and is trying to learn how to play the violin, I huve anew theory as to the burning of Rome." ""Vyhat ig it?" "I'm satisfied that Nero was sitting at the front window playing a fiddle and some of the people in the block took to throwing bombs at him."—Detroit Free Press.

So One Would.

One would think that woman, like the Roentgen rays, had only just been discovered, to judge from tho incessant olamor, the virulent abuse, the exaggerated praise, with which she is daily greeted in newspapers and books.—Lowell (Mass.) Daily Mail.

E WOMAN

—who takes the surest way to gain a beautiful color and a wholesome skin will not take the cosmetics, paints and powders which soon injure the skin. Sallow or wrinkled face, dull eyes and hollow chccks, together with

low spirits, follow the derangements, irregularities and weaknesses peculiar to the sex. All women require a tonic and nervine at some period of their lives. Whether suffering from nervousness, dizziness, faintness, displacement of womanly organs, catarrhal inflammation of the lining membranes, bearing-down sensations, or general debility, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription reaches the origin of the trouble ana corrects it It's a medicine which was discovered and used by an eminent physician for many years in all eases of female complaint," and those painful disorders that afflict womankind. If women are overworked, run-down, tired or sleepless, if they are irritable, morbid and suffer from back-ache, they should turn to the right means for a permanent cure. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription fits just such cases, for it regulates and strengthens the special functions, builds up and invigorates the entire female system.

A Veteran of the Late War

A few years ago a wave of La swejpt over the land and brought thousan' of its victims to the grave. Others who escaped the fate lived on in sorrow and suffering. broken in health and spirit.

Terrible as was the disease, its after effects were yet more appalling, as it sought out the weaknesses of the constitution ana left thousands shattered wrecks of their former selves A few days ago a Courier-Herald represen tative, while at the thriving little town of Akron, Mich., met John L. Smith, a veteran of the industrial army, on whose aged head the disease had fallen, and he heard nim tell how he had suffered and what had given him relief.

We can do no better than quote his own words, which are as follows: "About seven years ago I was taken down with the 'Grip,' and it fastened on me veiy hard. For about half the winter I was so baa that I could not leave the house. I was chilly all the time, and oould not get warm. I felt as if I was fro ten solid, and could only breathe with great difficulty. condition alternated with sweatin, spells of great violence. There was an al most continuous pain, and it would shoot from one part of my body to another, with ,t suddenness, and cause me intense sufig. Sometimes it was in my hips, then in my legs, and again it would go to my head and pain me in the eyes. It was so intense that it even affected my sight. "I called in medical assistance, but this was fruitless, as I received no benefit from physicians. From then on I tried various

painral

tried them. Finally. I saw an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I read with much interest of the wonderful cures that they had effected in so many cases. I had tried so many proprietary preparations that I had no faith in it, but tried it, as I had so many other things, to see if they were of any use.

One day when I was feeling as bad as usual, I got a box of Pink Pills, and shortly oin:

before going to bed I took one pill. I cannot tell you what a surprised man I was next morning. Then I put on my shoes with ease, a thing that I had not done for forty years. A little while after this I was so well that I drove to Bay City, Michigan, a distance of twenty-three miles, and was not at all tired when I got there.

I am now seventy-six years of age and unusually active for a man of my years. I work on my forty-acre farm and experience no trouble from the work. I want to say a good word for Pink Pills, as they helped me where all else did no good whatever. Since my illness and cure a number of my neighbors have used them, and say that they have been greatly benefited."

Mrs. Smith, the veteran's wife, who sat near by, confirmed the words that her husband had spoken aud added her testimony to the good that the pills had been to the family. The worthy couple are old and respected residents of Tuscola County, where tney have lived for thirty years. Mr. Smith is a sturdy pioneer, and cleared up a 200acre farm near Akron. He yet lives there, surrounded by twelve of his thirteen children. Thanks to Pink Pills, he has a prospect of many years of usefulness.

Another sufferer with the same malady was Neil Raymond, a prosperous and leading former, residing near Columbiaville, Lapeer Co. .Michigan. Speaking to a representative of The Courier-Herald, Sir. Raymond said:

Three years ago last June, one night I suffered an attack of paralysis, brought on, I think, by overwork and as an after effect of la grippe. After a week my condition was so Daa that I summoned a physician and doctored for about six months, with but little relie£ For some time I had seen in the

papers reported cures of cases similar to mine effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and thought I would try them. I bought a box and continued their use with good results. I soon began to gain in strength and health and felt the good effect of the rills. "They were the first things that had been able to give me relief. They have been of great benefit to me and I can strongly recommend them to anyone buffering from paralysis."

The case of another veteran has come to the attention of this paper and it is here given: When, in 1861, the rate of our Union hung trembling in the balance, and President Lincoln issued his famous coll for volunteers to go to the front and fight for its preservation, an immediate response swept over the North like a tidal wave, and regiment

horrors of war, they shouldered muskets and marched to the front to

their battle

for their country. Among the first to answer the call was E. G. Matthews, who enlisted as a member of Company D, 103d Ohio Infkntry. and who fought bravely until the close or the great struggle. Mr. Matthews now lives with bia wife and family of six children and grandchildren on his farm near Akron, Tuscola County, Michigan. While in the ranks he contracted inflammatory rheumatism and this developed into a trouble that remained with him for over thirty years. He finally became cured of it and to a representative of the Courier-Herald he spoke of his case as follows: "During the late war I was a member of Company D, 103d Ohio Infantry, and performed all the duties incident to a soldier's life from 1862 to 1865. While at the front owing to the privations of our soldier life, I contracted inflammatory rheumatism, and this finally developed into a permanent form of rheumatism, that has always troubled me since that time. When I was mustered out in 1865 I went buck to Ohio to the place where I enlisted and was laid up there in bed for 12 weeks. I then got out for a short time and was again laid .up for a long spell. Since then I have been a victim of these attacks and they have laid me up for much of the time.

My case was also complioateu by severe kidney troubles and other diseases that baffled the best medical skill. I have tried many physicians and also proprietary articles of all kinds that were said to be good for such troubles as mine. In my search for health I spoilt hundreds of dollars, but it seemed to be all in vain, and nothing seemed to reach my trouble and give mo relief. About a year ago a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although I had no faith in them, I bought a box and hegan to take them. After I liad begun on the third box a great change in my condition began to appear, and my trouble for over thirty years' standing began to be cured. I took four boxes more and then felt so well that I discontinued their use.

I am now able to work on my Arm and have no fear of the old trouble coming back as long as I can get a box of Pink Pills. My case was a particularly deep seated one, of long standing, and so I want to let others who are afflicted as I was, know the benefit that these Pink Pills for Pale People have been to me."
