Borne three month after this, and on
an exceptionally, fine morning In Sep
tember. Master Simon put Harmony,
hto celebrated traveling hen. Into her
traveling hamper, and marched over to
the cross-road to take coach for 11 lo
gon, in the mining- district ' where rhe
matches for the championship cup were
to be flown that year.
Now Ann the cook bad ventured no
less than five pounds upon Harmony.
Five pounds represented half of her
annual wage, and a trifle less than half
her annual saving. Therefore she spont

noon at her window, gazing westward
in no bhukHI perturbation of spirit.

The bird was preening his feathers,
and allowed himself to be taken ea.ily.
In circumstances less agitating Ann
had not failed to observe that the thread
about the messenger's wing was not of
he kind that Master Simon used. But

A second messenger arrived toward
vening with word of Harmony's suc
cess. But the news hardly relaxed
Ann's brow, which kept a pensive con
traction even when master arrived next
evening, and poured out her wtnlngs on
the table from the silver challenge cup.
She wore this frown at Intervals for
a fortnight, and all the while main
tained an unusual silence which puzzled
Master Simon. Then one morning he
heard her In the kitchen scolding the
tap-boy with all her pristine heartiness.
That night, after mulling her master's

Ann produced the Widow Waddllove's
note and flattened It ou.t under Master
Simon's eyes. AndMasterSimonblushed
painfully.
"Are you going to marry the woman?"
Ann demanded.

"I reckon youj will."
"Well, you see, there has been a hitch.

Master Simon sighed. "Well, well! I
must get out as best I can with Tom for
wWtle." Tom was the tap-boy.
"Tom's going too. I bullied him so this
morning thait he means to give notice to
morrow; that Is If he don't save him
eh? the trouble of running off to sea."
"The twelfth In live years!" ejaculated
(Master Simon, stopping his pipe vic
iously. "And small blame to them. Married
man or mariner that's what a boy Is
horn for. Beltter dare wreck or -wedlock
than sit here and talk about both.
Take my advice, master, and marry
the widow."
Ann carried out her own matrimonial
program, at any rate, (with spirit and
determination. Finding the first young
fanner satisfactory, she espoused him

at the end of the month, and turned her
hack at Flowing Source. And Tom the
tap-toy fulfilled her prophecy and ran
away to sea. And the old inn leaned
after him nl Its umoer creariea.

Master Simon entitled his glass, rose,

door.

said.
And with this he unmoored his boat
and row?d j-esolutely homeward. A

arched his shoulders against It.

A voice answered the question, call

"What is It?" she called back.

TOWN WITH WO GOVERNMENT.
Qnesr Stat of Affairs st llsmboldt, asa.,
Apposrs In Lltlgstlon.
In the United States circuit court of
appeals, at St. Louis last Saturday, was
filed the transcript of the record In the
case of Peter A. H. Jackson vs. the city
of Humboldt, Kan. Jackson sued the
cMy on bonds aggregating 86,S0O, and
the city filed a plea to the jurisdiction
on the ground that the officers of the
city had not been summoned. The rec
ord, says the OltOe-Democrat, dis
closes a story of a town without ofll
cers and without government except
cuch as the citizens voluntarily fur
nished. Some, fifteen years ago, for
reasons that do not appear, there was a
partial disorganization or discontinu
ance of the city government, and for
twelve or fifteen years the town was
run by citizens, who got together when
ever occarlon demanded and did what
appeared should be done levied taxes,
directed street Improvements, etc.
About once a year the meeting ordered
an election, and whoever was chosen
mayor was called mayor, hut more by
the way of a joks than seriously. One
of the depositions said that matters
were run by "lot , of people" and
money was disbursed for things that
had to be dons and should he paid for.
There waa seldom a question put to
vote, and 'no one could remember
whether there was ever an adjourn
ment; some one would say It was time
to go and they all got up and went.
Service waa had on McElroy. who was
"mayor" In 18M, and on the city officers
of that year, uut McElroy denied hav
ing ever been mayor of the city, and
the others swore that they had never
been city officers.
Upon a trial of the question of ser
vice a large amount of testimony was
taken. Involving the way the town was
run: and the Kansas federal court held
that McElroy was a good enough mayor
for service, and the service on the
others -was good; and then the case
went to trial and there was judgment
for the plaintiff against the city for
$81.43$. The city appealed.
There was also filed In this court yes
terday transcript In the case of Quincy
A. Shaw versus Murry M. Kellogg,
from Colorado. It waa a suit for the
possession of a mining claim located by
the defendants under the act of 1SC0.
allowing the selection of lands not
mineral, and the question was whether
the lands were mineral or not. Judge
Hatlett rendered Judgment for tbe de
fendant and the plaintiff appealed.

What Is an anthem? Strictly speak
ing. K Is a. composition Iro prose or verse
sung antlphonally tha't Is. by two
voices or choirs respectively. The
word comes from the a reek, outlphona
(ant I, over again, and phone, voice).
Tlw root of the Greek Is Su-.-.Bkrit. and
means simply to epeuk. The sntlifhon
al form of ttie anthem la bolh Ortn-k
and OhrlsiWan. and Is to be fjur.il today
In the rktual of every church which
makes music part of Its worship. This
meaning of the word, It Is agreed 'by the
highest authorities, haa disappeared.
Its recond signlnVanoe Is a musical
compost in or aacred motet usually set
to verses of the psalms or other por
tions of the svrfcptures and sung as an
in'tegrail part of pu'tnllc worship. In
neither the first nor tihe second sense
is it applicable to a, secular poem, set
to music Intended to express or symibol
lze love of country. Anthem, say the
now "English Dlt'ttotvary on Historical
Principles" (Philologlcad society, Ox
ford), Is an Inappropriate title for na
tional anthem. "It has. however, Jiow
bec.m ex generally adopted that It
would be pedantic not to use It."
The validity of a national anthem
need not 'be sought ibehlnd the word.
It makes little difference how novel
meanings come Into universal speech.
Once they are universal the door Is
closed on mere verbal archaeology. A
national ant'hem Is that combrr.'ativxn of
malody and words which Is Identified
with a nation In an exclusive eernee. In
this sense "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Is the American nai.lonal anthem. In
the fame se-r.iie (the "Marseillaise" la of
France, and "Ood Save the Qufen"
that of 'England. It is true that
"America," the words of which were
written by an American, Samuel Fran
cis Smith, is 'to the tune of "God Save
the Queen." That anthem Is not, how
ever, strictly speaking, national, be
cause the government of the United
States has officially recognized "The
Star-Spangled Banner," and also "Hall
Columbia" which was originally Gen
eral Washington's march, the music
being by a German named Phyla, or
Fayles, 'leader of the orchestra for the
old John street theater In New York.
The melody was first played, so far as
is known, on the occasion of Washing
ton's first visit 'to that .play house.
Do Not Need New Ono.
There) appears to be no good reason to
doubt that the germ of all national
songs Is to be found far back among
folk melodies anterior to the time when
natlonailltlws in the present sense ex
isted. The .air of "America" and of
"God Save the King" or Queen, is not
English, Its first adaptation to words
is obscure. The air itself waa known
as a folk song among various peoples.
It Is the Danish national air. It Is the
Prussian national air and It Is the Ger
man national air.- Its age is beyond con-

melody la English and that we should
not sing U wllih a sense of nationalisa

The air of "Tho Star-Spangled Banner"
Is admitted to be that previously adapt
ed to "Adams end Ubei ty." Written
by Samuel Arnold, of Oxford, It was
baptized at uhe revolutionary fonlt by
Robert Treat Paine, Jr., son of a signer
of the Declaration of Independence.
The music of natlunal anthems being
a common appropriation, the test of na
tionalism lies in the words and the cir
cumstances of the marriage of the mel
ody and 'the poem. Thus tented, no
question whatever can arise concerning
"Tha Star-Spangled lianner." "Hall.

Use All the Tobacco You Want Till
Your "Craving" Is Gone.
N ARCOTI-CURE is the only remedy in the world that acts
directly oa the nerves and drives the nicotine from the system
tu from four to ten day. It leaves the patient in better health
than before taking, aud is warranted free from any injurious
ingredients.
NAKCOTI-CURE is popular because it allows the patient
to use all the tobacco he wants while under treatment, or until
the "craving" and "hankering" are gone. It is then no sacri
fice to throw awav tobacco forever.
NAKCOTI-CUltE is sold at the uniform price of 13.00
bottle and one bottle cures.
Money refunded if a cure is not effoctod when taken accord
ing to directions.
