BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1889.
When with some soap a salesman bold
Conies in your place to there unfold
His samples, and proceeds to say:
" Thi equals, sir, in every way
The Ivonv, 'tis made in fact

"l'is just as white, indeed the man
Who makes this soap by perfect plan;
Has mado the Ivorv o'er and o'er
For l'roctcr it Gamble heretofore,
liesides, this soap brings to. the till
More profit than the Ivorv will."
He means, to use by such a game,
Your reputation and good name
A fraud or counterfeit to sell
Of what is known and proven well.
This mean3 As rp will never go
On its own n; r.t t.ist or slow;
And yon. hkr hi.iv, tlie truth must toss,
Clean civet bo.rn, or sell at loss, land
It means still more, that throughout the
The lvor.v Soap's in great demand.
For none chase with imitations, frail
An article that has no sale.
And who for counterfeit will pay
The piice of genuine goods to-dav?
Then whence can the advantage flow
Or how can you "more profit" know?,
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps. each represented to be "just as good as the' Ivory' ;"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable .qualities of

Reply to all who do intend
To use you thus to gain their end:
"When you for your own soap create,
Upon its worth demand as great
As Ivory Soap this day can claim,
I'll buy, should trade require the same ;
Iitit have no time, I tell you true,
To introduce your soap for you,
And customers perhaps offend
With goods 1 fear to rccommuul."
Don't buy the soap that salesmen say:
" Is like the Ivory every way,"
For grocers can this tale unfold
Of every hundred cakes they sold
un scvcnty-ltve a loss ttiey bore,
Or che it ne'er had left their store.

PARDON'B GOOD LTJ0K.
Philosophers iy that thoro is no
bucIi tliiiiK as luck. Asa Darwin
thought, dillorently.
"My luok, oxaolly," said ho despair
incly, "I might havo known just how
iifwould bo."
Ho sat 011 tho old stono porch star
ing out toward tho sunset, his chair
tipped back on its two hind legs, hia
hands thrust into his trousers pookets.
It was oold enough to justify tho
firo of beech logs that was blazing on
tho hearth in tho room inside, whero
Pardon was tacking up tho red moreen
curtains that sho had just sponged and
mended neatly; but it was not an easy
thing for Mr. Dvwin to relinquish tho
habit of out-door lounging that had
clung to him all tho summer through.
"What is ii, father," said Pardon,
coming briskly to tho door with a lack
haminir in ono hand and a paper of
tacks in tho other.
"Jones has cono by," Haid Mr. Dar
win. "He says the old cow lias got
out on the railroad track again.
Pardon bit her red under lip.
"I told you sho would, fathor," said
she, "if you didn't have thoso bars re
paired."
"And sho'e got run over," dolefully
added Darwin. "I'm snro I don't
know what we're going to do without
a cow. Wo vo always put a lot ot do
pendence on our milk. Luck has been
sheer acaiust mo every biiico John
James died. A man with ahousofullof
gals can't expect to tnako no headway
in ine worm.
Pardon colored '.ip.
"You didnt expect your ctrls to
mend tho bars, did you, father! ' asked
she, a little bitterly.
"I was calciilatiii' to sneak to Tim
l'arsons about getlin a new pair o
posla put up, sighed the farmer.
"Woman t it liavo oeon a safer way
to put them up yourselt, lather!
"1 ain t as young as 1 used to bo,"
aid Darwin, evasively. "And tho
rheumatics is twistin' mo powerful
these tirst cool da vs.
"I lion, said Pardon, with a certain
touch ot daughterly authority in her
voioo, "you should como into tho houso
and not Bit there, (retting chilled
through, and then find fault with your
luckl
Mr. Darwin slowly rose and shuttled
into the bright little keeping room,
where Pardon had spread a neatly
braided rug before the Are, and placed
a b.'okon-spouted pitcher of yellow
goicien-roa on tho tpblo.
Siie looked after him with
a sicn,
half of impatience, half regret.
"1 wish John James had
said Mr. Darwin, feeblv.
lived!
"So do I," assented Pardon.
"Ain't supper most ready," said tho
farmer, looking discontentedly around.
"it will bo in a minute, said .far-
don, "I had to split the kindliug my-
sels lor the kitchen tire, and l anny
has run to Mrs. Morritt's for a little
meal to make somo corn bread."
At tho same moment Fanny return
,ed a slight, overgrown girl of 14
breathless with the hasto she had
made.
"Mrs. Merritt is very sorry," said
she, "but she hasn't any corumeal in
tbi- houso."
"That's enough!" said Pardon, glow
ing scarlet to the roots of her hair. "I
don't blaruo her for getting tired of
lending things to us!"
"Bnt," addod Kanny, "sho sends a
pail of Uraham Hour to make gems.
Indeed, indeed, Pardon she's as kind
as she can be!"
Pardon laughed hysterically.
"I'm getting as hard and bitter as a
sour persimmon,'' said she. "Yes. I'm
very glad of the Graham flour. Fath
er can't mako out his supper without
something hot for a rolish. Perhaps
somo day wo can return Mrs. Mcrritt's
kindness. But oh, Fanny have you
heard! The red cow got out of the
pasture this afternoon and was killed
on the traok."
Fanny burst into tears.
"Old Pinky!" sho oirolaimed. "Is
thero no end of our bad luck!"
Pardon stamped her pretty, ill-shod
foot impationtly on tho floor.
"Luckl" sho repeated. "Don't use
that dreadful wordl I believe father
would bo a bettor and happier man to
day if it wasn't in the dictionary at
all. Thero isn't any such thing as
luck. It's all b?d management, shift
lessness tho habit of putting ovory
tbing off until the last moment.''
And then sho cried, too, poor little
overburdoned Pardon.
Sho was tall and slender, with large,
glittering haze! eyes, red-brown hair,
and 0110 of thos" delioato complexions
where the suu lays its touch in tho
shape of hero and thoro a cluster of
freckles.
Fanny was dark, with Spanish eyes,
fringed with long laslii'S, and hair as
black and lustrous as jet, Whatever
else fato had doqiod the Darwin girls,
it had been generous- to them in tho
matter of personal attributes.
They mado their frugal supper of
Graham gems, and very ljttlo butter,
tho weakest browing of tea, and no
milk at oil, and thon Pardoa built up
tho fire, got her father the last week's
newspaper, whioh good Mr. Merritt
had sent over with tho Graham flour,
and then set down in 'the baok kitchen
with Fauny to slico up a fow peaches
for drying,
"For wo havo got to look after
things verv closo this winter," sho
Baid, "Fathor seems to havo no oner

afraid it will end in tho. farm being
sold to dear off tho mortgage.''
Fanny opened her big, black eyes.
"Rut wo must live somowhero, Par
don," sho said.
"You and I oan go out to service,"
said Pardon. "As for father, thero is
the poor houso."
Fanny uttered a wall of despair.
"No, no, dear, d m't look so distress.

Tho two girls wcro washina un tho
breakfast dishes tho noxtday in the tem
porary nnsonco ot air, uarwin, who
had strolled off toward tho nost-oflice
to see if tho mail was v, when Squiro
luting crossed tho threshold.
"fathor milt to hum, eh! said ho.
"Well, 1 reckon I can talk things over
just n. well with you, Pardon."
"What things!" said Pardon, dis.
trustfully.
"That there ekatin' rink, down by
the lake," said tho Squire, "that John
James built. It s goin to bo a good
hard winter if thero's any truth in
signs, and I've a notion to buy thooom
cern, just as it stands, and run the rink
myaolt. Tho land belonged to your
mother's estate, and 1 s'poso you and
tho gal hero havo the right to sell
iu"
"Yes," said Pardon her eyes fixed
calmly on the Squire's wooden visage.
MYiiat will you civ, lor Hi '
"Wal, it aint wuth so dreadful
niiicb," said the Squire, evasively.
J'oay a hundred dollars for tho build
ing and two acres o' land."
Pardon shook hor head.
"I won't sell it for that," said Bhe,
decidedly.
"I dunno what you want to keep it
for," said tho Squire, irritably. "Your
father ho ain't got tho 'go' to run a
ekating rink."
"I know that," said Pardon, firmly,
"but I don't intend to be swindled, all
tho same."
The squire stamped out of tho room
in a rage.
"Then drive a better bargain with
somebody else, if you can," said ho vi
ciously. "Pardon, Pardonl" whispered Fan
ny, closo to her elbow, "call him backl
A hundred dollars is a great great
sum of moneyl"
"No," said Pardou. "I will not
call him back. Let mo think."
"But what will father say!"
"Father need never know, Fanny.
It is as Squire Ettiug says, tho land is
all that is loft of our poor mother's
property. It is ours to sell or to keep,
as we please. The lumber alone for
that building cost John James nearly
$100. Tho Squiro thinks ho can safe
ly cheat us, because wo are only
women. But he will find himself mis
taken." Sho put on her green gingham sun
bonuet that afternoon and went over
to the Merritt farm. Joel Merritt was
just driving through the big gates
with a load of wood.
"I'm so sorry," said Joel, courteously
lifting his cap. "Mother has gone
over to a quilting bee at Mrs. Dikes'.
Won't you stop in aud rest"
Pardon took off her green sun bon
net and fanned herself with it. Her
cheeks wero pink; her lovely hazel
eyes sparkled.
"But it isn't your mother I oamo to
see, Joel," said she. "I want to speak,
to you!"
Joel jumped off the load, throw tho
reins on old Sorrel's back, and camo
up to her, with a oountcnanco of some
surprise.
"Me!" ho repeated, reddening a lit
tle. For of all created beings ho thought
Pardon Darwiu the most beautiful and
winning.
"Yes"," said Pardon, still deeply ab
sorbed in her own plans and ideaB.
"How would you like, Joel, to go-into
partnership with me!"
"With you, Pardon!"
He caught his breath.
"Yes." Irankly spoko the girl. "Of
all our neighbors I think you aro the
most honest and reliable. I've known
you over sinco wo were children, to
gether, and "
"Say not another word, Pardon!"
joyously exclaimed tho young man,
taking both her bands in his, while his
whole faco grew .radiant.. "Ob, you
don't know how proud, how happy
you make rai'l For I've loved you this
long time, Pardon, only I never dared
to tell you so; and mother will bo so
glad to call you daughter. Givo me a
kiss, Pardon ray little shrinking lovo
just one kiss,fso that I may bo sure
that I'm not .dreaming!"
But to his dismay Pardon struggled
to freo herself and bean to cry im
petuously. "I I don't knovv what you meanl"
said sho. "Let mo go, Joel Merritt!"
"But, Paidou, you said yourself "
"It was the skating rink that poor
John James built on Deep Lake!" fa'-
tered 1'ardon, on tho vergo of new
tears. "I I wanted you to help me
fit it up and manage it this Winter.
I nover dreamed of asking you to to
Oh, Joel, what must you havo thought

said Joel, dropuing his arms to his
sided, and standing with a blank face

twisting her apron strings, while tho
soft glow still burned on her cheeks.
A sudden light tlastied into Joel s
sun-burned face.
".My own love!" he cried out valiant
ly, "I'll take tha skating rink, but you'-
vo got to be thrown into tho bargain,
too! Say you'll consent, Pardonl"
And at all events Pardon did not
roftiRe.
"Eh" said Asa Darwin, when tho
facts of the case became patent to his
rather donso understanding, "young
Merritt going to finish up tho r'.nk he
foro frost oomes. And engaged to
our Pardon, too! Well. I deolaro that

A Great Uattle
Is continually going 011 in tho human
system. The detrou of impure blood
strives to gain victory over the consti
tution, to ruin health, to drag victims
to tho gr ive. A good reliable medi
cine like Hood s Sarsaparilla is the
weapon with which to defend one's
self, drive tho desperate enemy from
the field, and restore peace and bodily
health for many years. Try this pe
culiar medicine.
The Insane
Sohool B)ya
Shamming-
Aocused of
MiFi'MNTOWN, Feb. 18. Ex-Senator
Wright returned to this lown to-night
with Principal Sherwood, of tho Mc-
llistei ville Orphans' School, having
spent Home time in investigating the
symptoms of hallucination and insanity
shown by the boys.
Alter a careful and strategic investi
gation the Kx-aenator is convinced
that tho boys are shamming, and Prin-
ojpal Sherwood says that tho Senator
claims to havo trapped two of the
worst cases into confessing that the
whole thing was a scheme and that tho
boys have beou effecting and feigning
tho various manifestations that luvo
ptizzlod tho doctors.
H,x-benator Wright went t i tho
school with tho fixed idea that tiio boys
wero tooling tho doctors, and be diter
mined to tbruw them nff their guard
and seo what tho result would be.
With this 111 view, he took one of
tho boys, who still had all tho nervous
symptoms, out for a walk. As they
valked along hu engaged tho bov in
continuous conversation diverting his
miud as far as po ssible from his mala
dy and trying to draw him out when
hp least suspected it. To further this
eud bo pretended to slip and fell
against the boy, throwing him down in
tho snow, and then expressed regrets
at thu accident, the boy in hia haste to
recover bimselt, acted in a most ration
al manner.
Thon ho carried 011 in a sportive
manuer with tbu bov. but suddenlv
turned on him and paid: "Now. bov
toll mo tho truth. You'ie shamming,
aro you not? Now don't lie!'
Pha ioy at first denied it. but after
a legular seigo of accusations ho finally
broko down and confessed ha had been
shamming, and said tho whole
tiling was a scheme of tho boys.
Ex Senator AVright then took tho
Siinea boy, aged 1 2, who was or,o of
tho worBt cases, and worked with hira.
Ho talked to iho boy for several hours
before he could get him to acknowledge
that ho was hhamming.
two or three .tunes tho Kx-a uator
was about to civu it up, concluding
that Simos was really crazy, but finally
ne, too, coatosscd that no was sham
ming.
