many people are doing1.
They don't know just what
is the matter, but they have
a combination of pains and
aches, and each month they
grow worse.
The only sure remedy
yet found is Brown's Iron
Bitters, and thi3 by rapid
and thorough assimilation
with the blood purifies and
enriches it, and rich, strong
blood flowing to every part
of the system repairs the
wasted tissues, drives out
disease and gives health and
strength.
This is why Brown's
Iron Bitters will cure

I was a great sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and for several

was growing weaker every

Bitters, and am happy to say
I now have a good appetite,
and am getting stronger.

ITail to thw, Autnmn ! Gracious of presence !
Wearr are we of bards that sing
Of the Mav-tidp joys of field and pleasuanee,
Of the bid, false hymns of the faithless
prine.
A fi.-kle maiden, none might tnut her,
Was 'hoyden Spring, with her changeful
mein,
In ripened womanhood's richest lustre
Calmly thou comest. Ladv and Queen !
Manv to her are the ditties laden.
With honey'd breathing of flattering praise,
Sated and rain with applause, prond maiden,
She flouts her lorers, and scorns their lays.
Thou ? Withher 'twere shame to compare
thee;
Worthier thou to be sung and wooed ;
Thon like a high-born dame dost' bear thee,
Gracious of presence and bounteous of
mood.
Hail to thee. Autumn 1 Thee we nonor,
Queen of the Seasons, without a peer !
Sprincr ! She had promise of beauty on her,
But thine are the glory and crown of the
year.
First in worshiD why did we set her.l
Spring the wayward, the cold, the coy?
Ave In our hearts, we have loved thee better.
"Autumn, the gracious, the bringer of Joy!
Bountiful Autumn ! thon that brinirest
The sweet, calm days of the cloudless light.
Bountiful Autumn ! thou that fllngest
A mellower lustre o'er field and height.
Thine is the flnh of the purple heather.
Thine is the cleam of the harvest sheaves,
Thine is the slow where ripening together
The apples brighten through dusk green
leaves.
Thine is ttie glory on craas and moorlands.
Thine Is the haze upon dreamy seas.
Thine is the plashing round dusky forelands
Of lulling waters ; thv gifts are these :
With sport for the ranger of fie'.d and wild
wood. Wealth of the corn-land for toiling men,
And nut and berry for happy childhood
In wonderful wandering by wood and
glen.
Bonntiful Autumn ! Bringer of pleasure,
Bringer of beanty, bringer of gain.
More In thy bounty, bringer of leisure
To those aweary In heart and brain :
Thmi dost bring us : of thee the bliss Is :
Where nature, All mother, lulls ns to
sleep,
And cools our brows with her healing kisses,
Breeze of the mountain and breeze of the
deep.
Bonntiful Autumn I Well may we greet thee
Chief of the seasons I Queen of the year I
Well may our hearts go forth to meet thee.
And bring thee in triumph, with shout and
with cheer I
Ilvmns to thy praise will we not be sparing
Singing thpe, Lady, gracious of mien,
Bounteous of spirit and stately of bearing,

HARYEY'S BRAVE DEED.
Tie was a little bit of a chap, only twelve
years old, and so pinched and stunted and
weazened that you would have thought he
could not be more than eight His eyes were
larjre anil brown, and wistful, like those of
an Intelligent dog, and It was the pathetic
laneuane of those same brown ees that
aroused the compassion of an elderly, well-to-do
farmer one mornlne.
"Mr. Adams (the farmer) stood on a e.or-
' ner waiting for a ear, and above all the din
and bustle of the crowd that hurried past, he
I heard a shrill, boyish voice calling :
j "Star! Ilerald! Sun I Dreadful murder
; in the 6th ward I Full account of the trage
i dy. Star! Ilerald I"
"Hello! btarvey, sold any yet?" broke In
a second voice.
Mr. Adams turned sharply around and
discovered that the first voice belonced to as
I miserable a specimen of raes and bones as it
J had ever been his bad fortune to see and he
waited rather anxiously for the answer,
which soon followed In a patient uncom
plaining tone.
"Not yet, but the old woman down yonder
gave me an apple from her stall, and I'm
, not so very hungry."
i "Poor little chap !" said the second voice
with real sympathy; "time la hard on ye
that's a fact. Try that old fellow on the cor
ner; country I guess? Mebbe he'll take
one."
Acting upon his advice, No. 1 approached
! and spoke up hopefully.
"Star 1 Herald I Sun I Take one. sir?"
s "Yes, let's have a Herald," said the old
i gentleman, diving Into bis pocket for the
chanee. "What Is your nsme, my boy !"
"Harvey, sir, but the folks In our alley
most generally call me Starvey."
"Starvey I yes, yes," said the old gentle
man, with another rapid survey of the rags
and bones. "Wtey doesn't your mother
mend your clothes, and bow does It happen
that you are so thin ? nave yoa been 111?"
"Sick, sir ? Oh, no, I rather guess it's be
cause 1 don't get enough to eat, and mother,
she's dead !" This last In a hopeless tone,
with a brush of bis ragged sleeve across the
! brown ees. "She died last winter, and
: there's no one to look after me now.
Thanky, sir," as he received the change
which the old gentleman had all this time
been holding In his band.
"nere! don't got" said the worthy indi
vidual, as the bundle of rags turned to leave.
"How would you like to go borne with me ?
I live where there Is always enough to eat,
j and vou could take care of the horses, weed
and help round generally. Come, what do
you say?"
"Horses !" said the mite eagerly. "Oh I
I love horses, sir t We used to live In the
country when I was a little chap, and father,
he owned a horse ; I used to ride him, too.
Go into the countrj ? Golly I I guess so !"
"Well, well, give your papers to that boy,
then ; he has sold most of hla. That's right.
Come along, now, I can't take such a fine
looking object home with me. Why, Maria
wouldn't let us In."
The mite was fitted with a decent suit of
clothes, ' and finally arrived at the place
where there was plenty to eat happy at a
king, and ready to worship the kind old gen
tleman who had rescued him from his miser
able street life.
ne was called Harvey now.and soon ceased
to deserve his old appelation. He did wil
lingly whatever was given him to do, but bis
chief delight was to sleek the span of bays.
"Kitty and Jess," who occupied comfortable
quarters in the large barn. He watered and
fed, and groomed them untiringly, and
when, sitting beside his master in the new
spring wagon, be was allowed to hold the
reins, his enp of bliss was full.
But one day trouble appeared In the shape
of a rough looking fellow who applied to Mr.
Adams for work. It was In the busy season'
and he was engaged without much attention
to references. For a time all went well, but
Mr. Adams soon discovered that bia new
hand had a trick of beating the horses, kick
ing the cows, and otherwise maltreating the
animals about the place, and being a hu
mane man be dismissed him with s lecture
upon the wlckedneb and cruelty of bis con
duct. The the farm-hand became abusive swore
with manyoaths that he would have revenge.
Mrs. Adams was alarmed and beood her
husband to have the man ariested ; but eh
only laughed at her fears, snytn : "Such
talk never amounted to anything."
One lovely afternoon In autumn, Harvey
had a half-holiday, and he wandered along
through the woods, drinking in the beauty
around him, the gorgeous tints of the trees,
the purple and gold of wood flowers at his
feet, and the dreamy Dlae of the sky that
showed in patches overhead.
Suddenly a sound of voices broke the still
ness, and narvey, peering through some
bushes, saw the man who had worked for
Mr. Adams, and another man still more
rough and evil looking lounging upon the
ground with their guns beside them. They
had built a fire, at which they were cooking
some rabbits ; and as Harvey looked a dog
bounded through thu undergrowth and
crouched down beside him.
The men were discussing a plan which
made narvey's heart beat so violently as ho
listened, that he shivered with drt'ftd lest
they should hear it and discover his re
treat. They had decided to burn Mr. Adams'
barn, in which was stored all the fruits of
his long summer's work, and the ex-farm
hand added :
"Since he sets such store by his horses and
cows, it would be a mercy to send them
where they will never be 'abused anymore.
There's 'Brindle' and 'Daisy' and 'Rose,'
besides the horses that ought to kfep the
family in roasted meat for some time to
come."
The two wretches burst Into a loud laugh
at this sally, and at the same time the branch
upon which Harvey was leaning, broke with
a sharp crack. Even then he might have es
caped, but the dog sprang up wi'h a low
growl, and a moment after he was a prison
er. Toor narvey I as he looked up into the
cruel, scowling faces of his captors, be felt
that he could hope for little mercy from men
who could deliberately plan to roast alive
helpless animals. Indeed, the rougher of the
two men advised that Haryey should be put
out of the way at once.
"He's heard what we've bad to say, and
he'll blab. Dead men, and young ones, too,
'tell no tales,' " he added grimly, seeing
that his companion hesitated.
"But we might swing for it," objected the
farm hand. "See here, young one, we'll let
you scot free on one condition. You hold
up your hand and swear like I show you,
not to breathe a word of what you've heard,
or by I you'll not live long enough to
say your prayers." ne picked unJii gnn as
he spoke, and held the muzzle against his
breast.
Poor Harvey ! a sickening feeling of foar
and faintness seemed to stifle bis breath and
arrest bis very heart beats. The cruel de
termined faces of the men seemed like de
mons, and he looked around the wooris then
at the gun, and then he took an awful oath
which the man made him repeat that, he
would not reveal anything they had said.
He was at last allowed to go, and the farm
hand called after hlni :
"I say, young one. you can tell when the
deed is done and dont you forget it. I want
the old man to know where his good luck
comes from.
"There's no danger of his giving us away,
he's got no more pluck than a chicken, and
he's scared most to death."
When Harvy reached home supper was
laid In the large kitchen. Mollie, the help,
was turning flannel cakes. Mrs. Adams was
pouring the tea, and Mr. Adams turned
from the sink where he bad been washing
his hands, and spoke with a genial smile.
"Well, narvey, lad. did you have a good
time? Had a nice walk, eh ?"
"Yes, sir, no sir. part of the time, stam
mered poor Harvey, with such a miserable
face that the good farmer stared in astonish
ment, and Mrs. Adams noting his pale face
and trembling limbs, exclaimed :
" Bless the boy ! he looks fit to drop. What
s the matter child ?"
" Nothing," sobbed Harvey, and bursting
j Into tears he rushed away from them all, up
zo nis own room under the eares.
Pretty soon Mrs. Adnms bustled up with
a bowl of hot tea and some nieelv buttered
i toast, and when she found that he could not
I eat she bathed his aching head, tucked him
mio Dea, ana even lert a motherly kiss on his
cheek. - -
That kiss made narvey feel ten times more
miserable than before. How kind they had
been to him t How could he let them be
wronged out of so much of their hard-earned
property T Then the horses I ahj that
was the bitterest or all 1 "Kitty" and
" Jess," whom he had loved and petted, and
who also knew fcim and would whinney de
light whenever he entered the barn. He had
tanght them to bow their heads whenever he
gave them an apple or anything especially
nice and now he was going to let them suffer
a horrible death Great beads of sweat start
ed on his forehead, and he sprang from his
bed Intending to rush down stairs and reveal
the whole wicked plot, but he stopped before
a picture of Christ blessing little children,
which good Mrs. Adams had-hung in his
room. The moonlight fell broadly upon it.
nd not Mrs. Adams said that God hated
liars, and he had solemnly sworn to keep
silence.
Harvey never forgot the terrible hour that
followed. He heard the family retire, and
waited fearfully for any sound outside. At
last he knelt and prayed earnestly that God
would show him some way out of his trouble.
Then he went to the window and looked out
at the great barn.
Suddenly a thought flashed upon his mind,
ne stole softly down stairs seized the tin horn
with which Mrs- Adams used to call her hus
band to dinner, and letting himself out, ran
swiftly across the moonlit space between the
house and the barn.
He stopped a moment to think, and then
climbed up over the mows and hid himself in
a nook under t!ie rafters.
One hour passed I two ! Harvey's courage
seemed to ooze out at his finger tips. If they
came they would surely kill him, and then
-Ah, what was that? A stealthy atred
outside, and the great doors creaked softly
as they were shoved apart, then a whisper
which seemed to freeze Harvey's blood.
" nere, pour on plenty of He, and"
:'Toot ! toot ! toooot I"
" It's that devil's brat I" exclaimed one of
the men with a furious oath. Help me find
him quick or we shall have the neighbors on
us."
Toot I toot I toooot I went the old horn
Bow I wow 1 wow ! came from the dog in his
kennel, and the chickens on the roost near
by, set up a tremendous cacklo.
Toooot I toooot ! toot I The two ruffians
eetng their game was up rushed for the door
but were met by Mr. Adams and a crowd of
neighbors, who half-dressed; had rushed out
to discover the canse of the commotion.
"Well, "Kitty " and "Jess " were saved
the men were sent to prison, and to-day Har
vey writes his name, Harvey Adams with a
flourish, and calls the farmer and his wife
father and mother. He goes to school, and
the teacher assures his proud parents that be
is a fine scholar and will be sure to make his
mark one of these days.

cmred in old Admiral Gregory's tune, before
he was Admiral, and I think the incident
worth recalling.
A New Yorker called Tom Marshall, a
sailor, served in a ship under Gregory, when
Gregory was a young lieutenant in the navy
in the second war with England. Three
years after the close of this war, ere the bad
blood it had excited had quite subsided
Gregory's ship happened to be in the harbor
of Rio Janeiro, and an English frigate hap
pened to be lying ir. the harbor, too. The
English tars got practicing their guns at a
hogshead for a mark, and didn't do much
execution. The American sailors in Grego
ry's ship wanted to take part in this practic
ing of firing, but, fearing some outbreak of
bad feeling, the American commander gave
Gregory strict orders not to allow any of his
men to join in the firing. The Americans
looked on, grumbled and submitted all but
Tom Marshall. He couldn't keep still. He
implored Gregory to let him have one crack
at that hogshead. Gregory sternly rebuked
the New Yorker, and ordered him to quar
ters. Marshall sullenly retired, swearing it was
a downright shame he could not be allowed
to test his roarkmanship. Presently he left
his quarters, and going up toGrefcory, asked
him what it would cost him to have one shy
at that cask. "A first-class flogging," an
swered Gregory, angrily. "Only a flogging?"
repeated the New Yorker cheerily. "Then
here goes !" And before Gretrory could pre
vent him Tom Masrhall had fired off one of
the big gnns at the hogshead and hit it, too
the first time it had been hit.
The sailors cheered lustily ; Gregory half
scowled, half smiled ; but the New Yorker
came up respectfully, touched his hat and
told Gregory that lie was ready for his flog
ging. "1 have had the full worth of it al
ready, sir," he said.
Gregory was in somewhat of a fix. ne felt
real'y proud of Marshall's achievement, but
then he had disobeyed orders, and had prob
ably deeply offended the Englishmen. So,
after a little hard thinking, Gregory deter
mined to leave the New Yorker's punish
ment to the Englishmen themselves. So he
sent Tom Marshall on board the English fri
gate with a note explaining the facts of the
case, anr leaving the New York marksman
in John Bull's hands.
It turned out to be the best thing for the
New Yorker he could have done. The En
glish tars forgot their chagrin at their own
failure in sheer admiration of the New York
er's skill. Instead of punishing Tom Mar
shall they rewarded him, and sent him back
to bis ship as happy as a lord ; while Gregory
took a great fancy to Tom Marshall and had
him promoted.
A Hint as to How Sot to Talk to Children.
One day I sat in a car seat on the Saugus
Branch of the Eastern Road, behind a pale,
care-worn lady, who was taking a little boy
from Boston to Maiden. As the little boy
was of a very inquiring mind, and every
thing seemed to attract his attention, I
could not help listening to some of the ques
tions. "What is that article ?" the little boy com
menced, pointing to a stack of hay on the
marsh.
"Oh, that is hay, dear," answered the
care-worn lady.
"What is hay, auntie?"
"Why, hay is hay, dear."
"But what is hay made of?"
"Why. hay is made of dirt and water and
air."
"Who makes it ?"
"God makes it, dear."
"Does He make it in the day time or in
the night ?"
"In both, dear."
"And Sundays?"
"Yes, all the time."
"Ain't it wicked to make bay on Sunday,
auntie?"
"O, I don't know. I'd keep still, Johnny !
that's a dear ; auntie i tired."
And after remaining quiet a moment little
Johnny broke out :
"Where do stars come from, auntie ?"
"I don't know ; nobody knows,"
"Did the moon lay em ?"
"Yes, I gness so," replied the wicked lady.
"Can tin; moon lay eggs, too ?'
"I suppose so. Don't bother me 1"
A feboit silence, wheD Johnny broke out
again :
"Benny says oxen is an owl, auntie ; Is
they?"
"O, perhaps so !"
"I think a whale could lay eggs don't
yon, auntie?"
"O, yes, I guess so," said the shameless
woman.
"Did you ever see a whale on his nest ?"
"O, I gness so 1" .
"Where ?"
"I mean no. Johnny, you must be quiet.
I'm getting crazy 1"
"What makes jou crazy, auntie ?"
"Oh, dear I you ask so many questions."
"Did you ever see a little fly eat sugar 7"
"Yes, dear."
"Where?"
"Johnny, sit down on the seat, and be
still, or I'll shake you Now not another
word !"
And the lady pointed her finger sharply to
the little boy, as if she was going to stick It
through him. If she had been a wicked wo
man she would have sworn.
There are eight million little boys like

A MONTANA MAX'S STORY.
A party of four persohs returned yester
cay from a trip to the Yellowstone National
rark. Joe V. London. C. E. Kantner, J
E. Montgomery and Walter Watson are the
names of the persons, and they profess they
have had. with one exception, a delightful
time. They were examining the crater of a
geyser about two and a-half miles from the
Fire nole river. Notwithstanding it Is for
bidden to carry specimens away from the
park ordespoil In any way the formations,
these gentlemen were desirous of securing
some mementoes of their trip, and seeing in
the crater some beautiful formations, Wat
son volunteered to attempt a descent and se
cure a piece of the beautiful colored work on
the interior for each member of the party.
He carefully descended a distance of twe!ve
feet, taking care that each time his hold was
secure. He reached the formations, secured
what he desired, and attempted to ascend.
Reaching overhead, he grasped a protection,
and putting bis entire weight upon it, it
gave way, and he was precipitated into the
seemingly yawning abyss. His companions,
who were watching his movements, shtieked
as they saw him fall. They immediately
procured a light and lowered it into the cra
ter for as great a distance as they could with
the means at their command. Nothing could
be seen ; but by dropping pebbles and bits
of wood they discovered that at a depth of
about fifty feet the crater was filled with
water. In their consternation at the disap
pearance of their comrade, they had not
heard his body strike the water. They gave
him up ns lost, and with sad hearts left the
scene. Going to the river they made camp,
intending to start for Bozeman at daybreak.
Next morning they made preparations to
start, but were delayed by Mr. London be
coming suddenly sick. They then concluded
i to remain where they were until he should
be in a condition to travel. About noon an
other party from the geyser basin came in
sieht and, seeing the eamp of the gentlemen
at once approached.
Imagine the jny and surprise of London,
Kanter and Montgomery when they saw
among the newcomers their friend. Wat-on,
alive and well. They could not believe it
w?.s him until he had taken the hand of each
and assured them that it was none other
than he, and gave them the promised speci
mens from the crater of the geyser. How
he escaped is best told in Ills own words :
"When the projection upon which I had
placed my weight gave way, I felt that I was
! indeed lost. I was not whn'iy conscious af
ter I commerced falling. WVen I struck the
water, feet fir.-1, I experienced a feeling of
relief. I seemed to sink a thousand feet
but, of course, sank but a short distance. I
grasped around wildly, but notliii.g but the
water could be felt. I was rising to the sur
face, and knew it, and a feeling suddenly
came over me that 1 was to be saved. How
I knew not, but sti!I I was certain that I
was not to be left in the crater. On coming
to the surface 1 reached out and a friendly
rock gave me support. I heard the shout of
my friends, but could see nothing and was
unable to call out in reply. After what
seemed to me agrs the shouts ceased, and I
realizpd that my friends had given me up
for lost. It was just after noon when we
reached the crater; I suppose it was near
ly B o'clock when I heard what sounded like
distant thundpr. The noise grew more dis
tinct, and the water around me seemed to
be troubled. I then realized that I was in
the crater of an active geyser, and that In a
short lime the entire space would be filled
with water. I attempted to raise myself,
but could find no support for my bands
which would bear my weight. The walls of
the crater were rough, and while in the wa
ter I could easily keep my head out by cling
ing to them. Suddenly 1 discovered Uiatthe
water was rising. This gave me the hope
that I might be able to keep afloat until the
surface was reached. The water continued
to rise more rapidly, and I at last found my
self at the point where I had fallen. Al
though well nigh exhaus.ed, I exerted my
remaining strength in climbing to the sur
face. This reached, I managed to crawl
some distance awr.y from the crater, where
I lost consciopsness. When I recovered I
was being enred for by strangers the men
who conducted me to my companions."
Upon being questioned further Watson
said that as near as he could judge the cra
ter at the point he struck the water was
about twenty-five feet in diameter. The
water was warm, but not uncomfortably so
until a few moments before ho left, when it
began to be decide dlv hot. and to boil more
furiously, ne was found by a party who
rescued him about 7 o'clock in the evening.
Not to bh Discouraged. At Dalton,
Ga., they pointed out an old darkey who
was to be married that evening, and I took a
seat beside bim on the depot platform and
said :
"Uncle Reuben, Is it true that you are t o

"Yes, ,sah yes, sah, you'z hit it 'zactly

"Were you ever married before?"
"Why, bress your soul, boy, dis will be my

"How long since your last one died?"
"Jest free weeks nex' week Saturday."
"Isn't it pretty sudden, when you have
been a widower but two weeks?"
"I reckon not, sah. I doa'n see how I km

"And they tell me you are over 70 years
old?"
"Yes, sah I'ze risin'of 73."
"And you don't even own a chicken ?"
"No, sah."
"Don't the future look a little dark to

chap, as he slid to the ground and brushed
off his coat-tails, "I doan like dat sort o' ar

SATED BY A MIRACLE.
It was a hot summer's day. The metals
gleamed in the sunshine, and stretched like
fiery brazen serpents away to the distant
capital. Every minute lessened the distance ;
the express flew along with terrible speed
it appeared to have wings. Pouring out
dense volumes of smoke and vapor. It dash
ed along toward the great city whoso nu
merous towers began to emerge on the hori
zon. Only a few leagues more and Tarls
would clasp to its breast one of its own chil
dren. The stoker of the engine was on Lis last
journey ; he now Intended to remain In
Paris, his dearly-beloved Talis. Leroy, the
stoker, was not old ; thirty years at the out
side, tall, with bright eyes, and something
decided and haughty In his bearing. Over
his open forehead fell a lock of thick black
hair ; courage and audacity sparkled in his
eyes. A full dark moustache jealously con
cealed his red lips and snow-white teeth;
his face was marked with certain features
which bespoke pride, with a shade of impe
riousness. He was dressed in blue linen
trousers and blouse, which articles of attire
were together by means of a broad leather
belt. On his head he wore a broad brimmed
bat.
With a Joyous heart he went on feeding
the black monster with fuel, which was ea
gerly consumed by the devouring element
Leroy's 6harp gaze glances up the line,
when all at once he sees there, In the midst
of the solitary rlsin over which thi train is
passing, at a distance of about five hundred
yards, a human figure stretched at full
length across the nfttals. What was to be
done ? To stop ? impossible I (This was
before the invention of the vacuum brake.)
"Do you see that creature lying across the
rails, Rollin ?" he hurriedly asked the dri
ver. "Yes !"
"Shall we reverse the steam ?"
"On no account ; it would shiver us all to
pieces."
"We shall have to do it, or else that per
son's fate 13 sealed 1" exc!a:med Leroy.
"And I say It won't do," replied Rollin,
decisively ; "we should be staking the lives
of several of the passengsrs In our train in
the attempt to fave that one."
I-eroy gazed forward in despair. The
I train rushed nearer to its victim. The poor ;
j creatine was lost ! Then suddenly the sto- i
; ker's eyps fell upon the signal cords. Quick i
j as lightning he fastened them round his J
! body. i
"Now summon all the strength yon have!
'. gut, taVe firm hold of the cords, and follow i
i me '" cried Leroy to the engine driver ; and '
quickly, in less time than it takes to relate i
I it, lie creeps a'nng the foot-plate which runs
by the side of the boiler, gets in froiit of the
! engine, steps down on a projecting bar, and !
i ;hen holding fast by his legs to one of the j
, buffers, he hangs suspended, his bead down- j
j ward, his arms stretched forward and his
l body held In position by the rope, which the
I . '
driver Las meanwhile passed round the fun
nel.
At that moment another revolution of the I
i wheels, and it had been too late just as the
j engine was about to erush its human victim
Leroy seized the body, snatched it upward,
i and lifted the burden a few inches above the
j rails. The engine-driver then slowly drag
ged him up, and tn a few moments later be
stood with his capture in the space which di
l vides the engine from the tender.
! Ieroy held In his arms a blooming, ele-
pantly-dressed young damsel about eigh
teen summers, whom, as by a miracle, he had
rescued from certain destruction. Long
fair hair fell in wavy tresses over her closed
I eyes, over her breast and shoulders. Sorrow
j and anxiety were depicted on her counte
nance. The stoker carefully laid down his
burden, a shrill whistle, and soon afterward
I the train rolled into the statiju.

Paris morning papers the bold, foolhardy

American Farlks. A Lobster who had
by years of patient toil and careful economy,
accumulated a snug sum of money, cast about
him to see how he couid use It to deserve the
gratitude of the public. He first consulted
the Clam, and that Bivalve solemnly puck
ered bis mouth and Paid :
. i : j. ..... vs j :. -r-
"Good ulea, mj friend, good idea. You
can't do better than to leave your money to
found a school of philosophy for Ciams.
We'll Hake it and keep your memory green
for a thousand years."
The Fox was next consulted, and he slap
ped the lobster on the back and cried out :
"That's the ticket, old man leave that
cash to the Foxes ! What we want to make
us happy is a dictionary and an eye glass for
each Fox."
The Peacock was found at home, and when
the subject was broached she laid her hand
on her heart and said :
"Old Lob. your bead Is level. Leave that
money to the Peacocks and In less than a
month we will show you seven new styles of
gracefully avoiding a spotted cow in the
i r' i. i. ... , , ,,
highway. Give us that cash and we shall
want for nothing more."
The Codfish was then posting up his ac-
count books, and when informed of the Lob-
ster's mission he laid down his pen, and re
plied :
"You have come to the right adviser, my
friend. It is needless to inform you tht for
the last hundred years the Cod had to stay
under water roost of the time on account of
having no fit clothes to appear on shore.
With that money we can rig out with tne best
hold our heads with the highest, and we will
be no longer quoted in the market at a lower
finure than rusty pork and 6tringy beef."
The Lion wanted the money given to the
feline race so that it might buy its potatoes
and cabbages in pen market, instead of
stealing them.
The Buzzard didn't want to seem avari
cious at all, but he had long thought that some
philanthropist would make a good hit by
leaving a fund to provide Buzzards with glass
eyes and toothache remedies.
Bewildered and discouraged by his inter
views, the Lobster at last appealed to the
Owl for a candid opinion.
"Well, if I had a pile of money and wanted
to do something to please the public," replied
the Owl, "I'd whack up with my poor rela
tions and pay up my outlawed debts."

After sailing three weeks, Co'nmbm was
promoted to deck-washer, and from that po
sition rapidly rose to cabin boy. The next
notable evert of his life was rescuing the
Queen of Spain's shoe from a watery grTe.
The Queen was one day washing 1 er feet
when Clum's " ship sailed by, and the wa-

five feet deep, and c'ntched the shoe ; and,
by the aid of a hen coop which was floating
by, succeeded In reaching the shore In a
strangling condition. This so pleased the
Queen that he bought him a lucger and sent
him fishing for oysters. One day be ennght
an'unusually large one, and, on examining
it, anjnscription was found on the shell as
follows : "George Washington, United States

of the country and the latitude aud longi

Columbus went directly to the market with
a load of oysters, got his pay, then Ptted his
ship fur acruise of sixteen years. Columbu

two or three days when the Queen hollered
to him and told him not to venture so far
