Widow's Strange Method of Higliting tlio Wrong. Akron. O.. Tprll 14. In 1876 a careless nurse deserted the perambulator In which she was wheeling the 2-year-old son of M. F. Urltton, then of Montreal. When she returned her charge was gone. The Mrlttou family made every effort to recover the little one, but without avail. As has rcently developed, It was stolen by a man nnmed Myers, In the hope of securing a reward for Its re turn. After the crime was committed he became so much alarmed that he never dared to claim money from the Infant's family nnd the child reached the age of 7 under his care. In 1SS3 Myers died, and for n year his wife kept the boy with her. According to her account she was greatly troubled In her conscience all this time, and finally resolved to devise some plan ot returning the lad to his family. The Urlttons were without a child of their own at the time, nnd when Mrs. Myers suggested that they employ her, adopt her son, a bright lad of 10 at the time, they readily fell In with the plan. Mrs. Myers soon afterward left their employment. In the menntlmo the Urlttons and their supposedly adopted son removed to a farm near Akron. A few days ago they received a letter from Mrs. Myers In England, giving full particu lars of the abduction of their child 21 years ago, and the method she adopted to return him to his own father and mother.

Whnt the 111 cycle Is Doing to Uplift Humanity. Prom the Pittsburg Times. The wheel, In whatever form you find It, Is a clvlllzer. U was the old wood en, creaking wheel of the ox cart that carried humanity westward from the seaboard until the wheel of the loco motive had to come to Its aid nnd as sume the greater proportion of peo pling the expanding nation. The mill wheel is old, but essential. The print ing press has wheels. The world Itself U a sort of a big wheel. The human head has wheels, such ns they are, and It is the man with wheels who makes things go, regnrdlcss of the fun that Is poked at him by those who ure lack ing. The bicycle Is a factor along with the rest of them In helping 'the race on In way. It may not cut much of a flg ure In the transportation of freight nnd paisengors, nnd may never be more tliaii half serious In Its offices ns n rutiicr, but it is a factor of discon tent. It cannot tolerate a bad road, and In Its Intolerance and the numbers of Its followers It Is our salvation. The bicycle Is popular. It has a knnck of Increasing Its worshipers. It holds Its victims, and adds to their numbers. Each new convert Is a missionary for good roads, which, although we refuse to rtccgnlze it, is one of the Improve ments most needed In our big land. The bicycle gives no quarter because It cannot. It must have good roads or hang In the cellar. It will not stay In the cellar, for that Is to defeat the ob ject of Its existence. The bicycle man has no recourse but to Insist on road Improvement, nnd as he Is becoming a mighty power good roads must come. The bicycle man has wheels, some In his head as welfas those that are over at the show. Hut he has wheels so se riously that he cannot give up the clamor for better highways. The bi cycle, without design, Is lighting one ot the leading battles of civilization. AU.VIN' IX IMS 1IIOX. Tlio Craze for .Miniature Is Xow He asserting Itself. Prom the New York Advertlsar. Tho revival of the fashion of wearing miniatures Is one of the pleasinsr signs of the times. There is now quite a rage among the happy rich for these delicate little portraits of fair women and chil dren. They are made In various sizes and always exquisitely framed in gold or precious stones. A rim of pearls "hath charms" that much appeal to one. and diamonds, "lucid, clear of the mote." In a living border of light round the face of the one you love the best of all, seem never so happily placed. Our great-grandmother uted to wear the miniature of their beloved ones in thin gold medallions, suspended by a black watered ribbon around their necks, and fastened with a gold pin or brooch over the left breust. No doubt we are coming to that, but as yet the modem girl is content to wear her miniature as a locket, a but ton, a belt clasp or ns a medallion In serted on the cover of nn ivory or tor toise fhell note book card case or pn volume of any kind, A fashionable miniature painter In London has received an order from nn Amcilcan millionaire to emblazon his watch case with (lowers of rare enamel round the cheiub herds of his two tiny daughters. The revival of the mlnla tute has. by the way, opened up a new held of Industry for women possessing the necessary talent for portraiture. The best ground lor the work Is ivory, which Is practically indestructible. Creat success lias been attained by some living artists in this pretty and dainty art of miniature palntlng.though the brilliant nnd charming work that has been preserved since bygone days can by no means be. approached by modem metheds. AXI) XOW HE IS SOHItV. Story of a Mountaineer y ho Lacked in Hiiiunno reeling. When Senator Prltchard was a print er's "devil" on the Jonesboro, Tenn.. Herald, the paper was sold, and the people to whom ho was apprenticed, not being overly kind to him, ho decid ed, ns many a boy In like circumstanc es has done, to try his fortunes else where. In company with another lad of about tho tamo age, he started across the mountains for North Caro line. Night came on, and with It a heavy rainstorm, nnd the two foot sore and huntiry lads knocked at the cabin of a mountaineer named John Drown and asked for food und permis sion to remain all night. The moun taineer was not overburdened with the milk of human kindness, and cursed them for a couple of runaway boys, and declared he would have nothing to do with harboring them, and drove them away Into the nlcht. This man Urown afterward learned that one of the boys whom he had thus rudely driven from his door had be come a self-educated man and had risen to be a senator of the United States. Now he Is In grent trepidation. A little settlement has grown up around his place, and the postoillce Is worth $12 a year. Mr. Urown Is now an old man and very much desires to bu postmaster. He Is not familiar with tho methods of making such appoint ment?, but has read In the papers late ly that candidates for such offices who do not have the friendship of their sen ators fall not Infrequently of uonffrma tlon. So he lias written to n member of tho Tennessee delegation, asking him to uso his Influence w'th Senator Prltchard so that ho wJll not object to thp appointment. mm POWPEH Absolutely Puro, ( Vlolit-nteil fur H tfrcltt lrntcitlnu streilBlll ntul healthmitiexK.
