10 .THE SOBANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 14, 3897. $ ! TO HYMEN ON A WHEEL ! HARRY ST. MAUR IN "Don't talk stuff, girl; a bit of a chit of a thtiiR as you, only Just seventeen. You Jn love Indeed! Why, you don't know jinythtiiB nbout love." "Hut, father, really 1 um In love. I s'pose I ought to know." "No, yer oughtn't. Yer ain't old enough.

And what was good enough for your matter Ik going to be gnod enough for you oven If I am a widower, she beln' In heaven.1' "I don't sef how It's wrong for a. girl to be love at seventeen If sho Is In love." "It's Improper at that age and It ain't necessary a all. Yer mother and I was never In lo-ve at all, and she Was thirty and I was over when we were married," , ., i "If you didn't love each other, what did you marry fqc?" " 'Cos wo was 'told by our parents, and that's 'the mnvper reason for any body marryln.' " Jlr. Owen was host of a sweet little inn, all rrisps n;id honeysuckle, In the wee village hear the famous water falls fifteen miles from a good-slxed seaport In England. All the tourists came from the town, driving out there was no rrtljroad put up the horses at Jlr. Owcn!s Kails Inn, did the scenery, returning to the Inn for a sample of his, daughter. Penny's cook ing: then they tvould'drlve back In the afternoon or evening. Thus Owen and his daughter were busy enough throughout the day, but seldom had people stopping over night In spite of the fact that his bedrooms were Invit ing enoutfhV Jenny and two strong, rough "Welsh women kept the house in perfect order. Mr. Owen could see what his 'cstler was nbout, mind his little bar and wntch his guests In the "coffee-room" (so called because coffee was never drunk there, and tea was, In great quantities). The establishment was thus numerically Bmall but It was a good' property, and "Mr. John Owen, in his fifty-first year, widower, of am ple girth, and as obstlna.te as a mule, was waxing peculiarly comfortable and very satisfied with Che world lrt general till Jenny talked about being in love. In connection with this same love there is much 'to commend it, for the village had scenery alone to recom mend it. Jts few, very few houses were spread over an area of two miles. Air. Owen's nearest neighbor, four acres away, mended and made boots nil day and collected and, by means of a ramshackle old tricycle, carried the mall at half-past four In the afternoon of the aforementioned town. Tim, who slept there, would fetch the village mall bag nnd mounting his venerable machine reach his cobbling hut about half-past nine. A meal, his second breakfast, was his first consideration, but there was nothing mean about him. Me would'leave his Iron Ivorse and Her Majesty's unlocked mall bag outside his little cobbler's hut, and any one who wanted or expected letters could examine the bag and help himself. It was rare that there were any left to deliver by the time his meal was finished, so ho was nearly always able to betake himself at once to his awl and waxed thread. Of all the Inhabitants of the village, of course Tim, the postman, was the most metropolitan for, at all events, ho slept In the atmosphere of a big city. At the same time Mr. Owen constantly discoursed with citizens of varied na tionalities, many of whom had toured the world over. Again, Host Owen had his dally paper, which he would read In the evening over his chuich warden pipe. So the villagers would stroll into Tim's through the day and get their news viva voce and if It was of grave Import they would drop Into the Falls Inn of an evening to ask John what ho thought of It. So regu lar was this custom that If Tim was asked accidentally what he thought of any news ho was disseminating, his waxed thread would be arrested, his awl cease to play and, looking up Into the face of his questioner, he would answer that ho didn't believe he know, but that he'd ask John. Enough has been explained to make it evident that John Owen was a man who was considerably spoiled for op position und contradiction especially from hi own child; for fathers of this rural category, however amiable they may be, bring themselves with the ut most difficulty to believe that their off spring have any other mission In life than to do as they are told and gather information from parental sources. Now John Owen had said that Jov6 at seventeen was Improper and unne cessary. Rut Miss Jenny was but let her character develop itself. An evening or two following the in terchange of remarks which begins this Miry, Jenny was doing her Mwimr and Tapa O.wen was smoking his Bristol blidstye in the pretty porch, when Jenny, selected a pause In the newspa rw perusal, besa'i with "rather, do you remember my tellln' you t'other night that I wai in love?" ''And do you remember" ivo.i the nlmcst regal rejoinder "what my re ply was?" 'Yes, I do. But whether tt'i proper or rot, it's so. I'm In love." "Why, the thing's sheer fooll.hnessi Tin e isn't anybody In the village ns ,jou ejuld fall In love with." "It ain't anybody In the village." "It can't be any one In the town. I tfot.'l take you down there much nwr than a dozen tlmi a year, m purpoo tc Kir p yer awa; .'rom all sura foolish jiesis." 'It ain't anyboly In the town so tc say: at .ill events, regularly."

In silence puffed the pater for a mo ment or two, muttering "Will Wlf fin." At length he said: "I know. It's that young chap that's a sailor, second mate or some thing, on that ship that trades between here and Afrlkey, ain't it?" "Yes, father; that's him." "Um well, that beats everything so It does. Why, he's never been up to this house but once, as I remember of " "Yes but ho stayed a week. Don't you remember? He'd caught a bit of fever from the Gold coast or some where nnd " "Oh, yes. I mind mc now. Wanted tho air. And it did Mm good, too." There was a sort of suppressed fierceness In what fallowed. "Well, that young feller seemed a very plensant knowledgablc young chap, and he had a good convocation, too. I enn't see what you wanted to fall in love with him for?" "Because ho fell In love with me and told me so, nnd right as 'e was tellln' me, I felt I was the same way." . There was a pause. At, length: "Well. Jenny, there was none of that kind Of foolishness with your mother and me. What do you want? I'm no stern parent ns wants to make people un'nppy, but I want common sense and due er and duo and proper consid eration." "I wants you to read and answer this letter, please." With Just a trace of trepidation, Jenny handed her father a letter. "What Is this 'ere letter!' "Why, you've got it in your hand, father." "I know I've got In mc 'and. I'm perfectly aware of that, and I'm a-askln what It Is afore I opens It, and I'm a wnltln' for a answer afoie I does open It." "It come in one to mc from Will," "So you're a wrltln' to each other, are yer7 Pack o' fools there Is In this world now-a-days, surely," with an accent on the "ly." Mr. Owen opened the letter slowly. His right hand held the pipe and con tinued to hold it. With his loft he started In to tear open the envelope flap. This Is not quite easy, but there are people in the world who, If they start In to do a thing clumsily, con sider their dignity compromised If they do not persist till the something Is ac complished. The process Is fidgeting to the third person, but Jenny silently en dured and relieved the tension with a needle and thread on work which stood an excellent chance of being presently unpicked. At length the mis sive was opened and focused eighteen inches from the Owen optics. It was slowly perused to tho end; placed on his knee: tho top ash of his pipe petted and patted: the letter was then re focused and re-read. And Jenny with nothing but a needle and thread to help her through such a very Irritating process. An examination of the btltches would have proved it sufficed. "Well" oplnlated Mr. Owen as he again cushioned the letter on his knee and again bestowed superfluous caresses on his pipe-bowl "that's a civil letter enough, and I don't know but ns I'll answer It. Got a bit laid by, 'e says, and 'as a small Interest In tho ship 'e's In. Oh, understand me, Jenny. I know what's what as well as 'ere and there one. Of course, some day I expects you'll marry. It's In the ordinary law er nature, and I'm wlllln' as nature should be er er nature, but I don't like no undue pur clpltuncy about htlngs. Now, I tell you what I'm agoln' to do. I'm goln' to show you that I'm progressin' with progressln' times. Your mother and I didn't do much in the way o' keepln' company, but I'm not agoln' to In fluence myself by that. I'm agoln' to let you and young Will Wlflln keep company right along, and you can marry and have my blessing at tho same age as your mother and I mar ried." Mr. John Owen rose and went Into his bar to htrugglo with a pen and ink, on excellent terms with himself. He felt ho understood the new race of women. They must be managed, not driven, as In the old days. Tell a woman now-a-days Bho sha'n't do a thing she'll do it or die; give 'em their way and hnlf the time they don't want it. As for Jenny, the wind was quite out of her sails. Tho work was on the floor. Sho had expected opposition, felt sure of a fight of some kind, but she could look forward to marriage with the man she loved In In thirteen years' time. She gathered up her work and retired to her own room for wnat she would have enjoyed under all poBstblo combinations of circumstances a good cry. A day or two later occurred an event which gave the village talk for many a month and elevated the humble posi tlon of a cobbler, who also carried the mall, to Her Majesty's letter carrier, who condescended to fill up his spare time by ah mending boots and shoes, that were not too far gone. The march of advancement had accorded him a uniform and replaced his ram shackle old tricycle with an up-to-date bicycle. It had taken Tim a week to learn to ride it, but when finally tho government lnsneetor hnd nn,i v,i. and handed over the delicate speedy machine, Tim had felt that ho wouldn't have given up his postman's Job for anyming. wnen no got off his tricycle In the old days, it was left outside his little cobbler's hut and there It stayed Smtell- inherited by lard is but one of the un desirable characteristics of the hog that the best lard m,itr rWf n,r.n.. '"w "." Kvr i. louis, New York, Montrtcl. throughout the day In all weathers', till he mounted again on his return Journey late In tho nfternoon. Hut tho first day tho bicycle arrived In tho village it was taken inside and care fully dusted nnd "groohied" nnd stood for admiration. Why, Tim could do tho fifteen miles between points easily In an hour nnd a half, nnd when ho learned to "coast," tho epaco of tlmo ho could do the distance In was- some thing very startling indeed. As the novelty wore off, the grooming gave place to a flick over, and fine days found the bicycle leaning ngatnst tho side of tho hut, much after the fashion of Us predecessor. ' Among those whoso Interest in the postman's now machine was quite keen was Jenny, who was a very constant visitor to Tim for mail in theso days; when, later, rumor reached the village of ladles having taken to tho wheeel, Jenny was more Interested than ever. The culumlnatlvo interest point was reached when one day a party of American tourists came up to the inn "on wheels," which included two la dles. Tho old 'ostler's face was a study; Host Owen shivered and snort ed by turns, while Jenny, who always left dishing up to her aids, so as to Walt at table, made herself so "real sweet" to the ladles (who fortunate ly did not wear bloomers) that sho was soon having the difference between theso ladles' wheels and the kind ridden by the gentlemen and Tim explained to her. Tim being the most interesting man In the vlllngc to Jenny, for epistolary reasons, It Is only natural that Tim should think highly of Jenny, for she was a very pretty, shapely lass, with a smile that could accomplish nearly anything, and also because, being the father of six children and a mall cob bler, he was sentimental enough to be vastly interested in her long court ing. Time went on. Will came up In tho Intervals of his voyages long enough, goodness knows. Papa Owen nnd Jen ny's future got along so well that per sistent efforts were made to Induce papa to cut slabs out of the thirteen years prescribed company keeping. In vain. Several times when the stout cob nnd gig a combination that could bo relied on to do over seven miles an hour for several hours and not turn a hair, tho horse not the gig had taken Jenny and her father to the town, he had stopped at the registrar of births, deaths and marriages, a par ticular friend of his, alluded to the marriage and assured tho functionary that "when ho was married it was in that there very office, and that when his gal was married It was agoing to bo In that very same office not that 'o 'ad a word to say ' agon churches, but where he was married was agoing to be where she should be married." Will had been up one famous day In August. The courtlnsr had been very earnest, and consultations on some ap parently Important points, deep. AVhen ho went away he seemed quite Jocund for a leave-taking lover. Two days af terwards John went Into his daughter's room for something or other, a thing ho didn't do twice In a year. A letter was stlcklns out of a drawer, and old John Impelled by some Irresistible cur iosity, did what he had never done In his life, ho pulled it out and read it. Hastily replacing it he went rapidly out of tho house to the end of the big garden, where he knew he would be free from observation. Then he ex ploded Fllently and by easr stages. The letter informed Jenny that the bans of marriage had been on the file at the registrar's tho necessary three weeks, and that "they would be mar ried tho next day at. 12 o'clock sharp, and she was to be sure and not be late and with, etc., etc." signed, "Your own Willie." John Owen cogitated long and earn estly. He was ashamed to own ho had surreptitiously read the letter. Ho im mediately decided Jenny should not bo married the next day. He went to the house determined never to make refer ence to the letter, and equally deter mined not to lose sight of his daugn ter from tho present moment till I o'clock tho next day; then she could not be married at all events as secret ly arranged. If the first attempt failed he was sure ho could so handle the ribbons In tho future that any attempt on the part of the lovers to bolt to Hymen ho could stop In short order. How well be played his part. When during the evening Jenny asked: "Can I have the gig to go in town father, tomorrow morning? I want a sight o' little things." And she enum erated many. "No, lass. I'm going day arter. We'll go along together. "But ." Not a "but" she tried was any use. The next morning he was her shadow. Pour sublimely brilliant attempts on Jenny's part to bolt between 8 and 10 o'clock were stopped, npparently by sheer accident. Jenny had trouble to hide her nervousness. John Owen looked at his watch, which indicated ten-thirty, and chuckled. She couldn't get fifteen miles on foot In an hour and a half. He was master of the situa tion almost, now. At this moment Jenny put on her hat, took up a small parcel and turning to her father, said: "Father, I'm going to take my shoo to Tim. It needs mending." "Are you, lass? I'll go along with yer. It'll Just do me good to stretch mo legs." Jenny nodded and Bmlled. They start ed. Papa walking as slow as he dared: daughter hurrying as much an sho dared. It was no distance though and at five minutes to eleven Tim knew what was wanted for the shoo. As they passed out, Jenny remarked: "Have you heard, father, as how girls ride them things?" Indicating Tim's bike "in trousers and breeches like men." "The brazen things. No gal o' mine shall ever ride ono In any kind o' way. It alnt commonly decent." "I don't believe I could ever get on tho thing" was Jenny's remark as she wheeled the bicycle on the hard ma cadamized road, "There's nobody around. I'll try." . "Now, no foolishness, Jenny. It ain't nice and you'll only go hurtln' your self." Imagine John Owen's feeling when, tho next minute, he saw Jenny flying down the road pedaling in great shape. Tim never noticed her; ho was so hard at work. John gasped thrice and ran, a thjntr ho had not dono In years, to the 1 ouse, harnessed the cob and was at the registrar's ono hour und twenty minutes after. But Jenny had been Mrs. Wlflln ten minutes which goes far to provo that a wheel Is better for certain purposes than somo kinds of horses. Something to Ilrng About.

From the ritteburg Dispatch. It mny seem cruel to reduce to shav ings tho stories concerning the mighty armies that conquered worlds In tho days of Greece's pride; but It is n fact, nevertheless, that no army was ever marshaled for war during the prlod preceding tho Christian era that could not have been scattered like chaff be fore a Nebraska cyclone had it been attacked by a force such as the United States, trf say nothing of the great European powers, could put into the field today and this on even terms, irrespective of any changes in tho mode of warfare. Much that has been written concern ing the great masses of fighting men that met In old-tlmc battles Is greatly exaggerated, although it has been handed down U history. Even If tho Imagination of the historian Is allowed freo rein, however, no serious modifi cation Is necessary in the comparison between ancient and modern armies. Tho fact remains that Uncle Sam's aggregation of warriors could whip any ancient army that ever drew sword, could the old-timers bo resur rected and set In battle array, fully equipped with modern weapons. To tackle the biggest army first, let the tremendous force with which Xer xes set out from Persia to attempt the conquest of Europe, 480 years be fore the birth of Christ, be marshaled on earth onco more. Xerxes spent four years In assembling this great host. His recruiting officers had scoured the Empire for available men, going east ward through all Asia, almost to the borders of Siberia and China,, and south and west to tho farthest bord ers of Egypt and Ethiopia. No fewer than 46 nations were compelled to give up their best men for the army that Xerxes Intended should sweep the whole civilized world. HOW XERXES COUNTED. When at last he was satisfied with the general look of things ho num bered his vast horde by building a wall around 10,000 of them, and measuring the rest In this enclosure, he found so ancient historians state that his army comprised 1,700,000 fighting men. It wns constantly augmented on the march, and by the time it reached Thermopylae, the number Is estimated by the same authorities at 2,500,000. Xerxes doubtless thought that noth ing could ever equal it whllo the world lasted. Counting camp followers, the whole array, uncording to Herodotus, numbered about 5,000,000 men. Deduct ing, besides the camp followers, the naked savages armed with sticks nnd stones and weopons that were about as effective as the bow and arrow would be in modern times, there remained an army of 1,200,000 capable warriors, of which the very best, under tho com mand of Mardonlus about 300,000 men were destined to be routed the fol lowing year, 179 B. C, at Plataea, by a Greek force of about 110,000, the com bined nrmy of Athens and Sparta and their allies. But allowing what no modern critic will concede that the estimates of His torian Herodotus are substantially correct, and that tho army of Xerxei amounted, ralible and warriors, to th'e number of 5,000,000 fighting men, still Uncle Sam could whip the whole crowd with one hand tied behind him. To this mob of 5,00,000 he could oppose over 10,000,000. UNCLE SAM'S FOKCE. A careful estimate of the" fighting force In the United States, based on data supplied by the war department, shows that America, today, has avail able for service in the cause of the country, no fewer than 10,14'J,58S men. These are not all trained soldiers, nny more than were the hordes of Xerxes. It is safe to say, however, that at least half this number know how to handle a rifle, and have at some tlmo learn ed how to respond to military orders. Some were taught the goose step In the Kaiser's army; others were conscript ed In France, Italy or Austria, or serv ed the Czar and smelt powder in the Busso-Turklsh' war; while still others wear medals won In one or another of Britain's ceaseless scrimmages. So that if it came to recokonlnir camp follouers and fighters together, Uncle Sam could annihilate Xerxes and his resurrected warriors by opposing 10, 000,000 to r.,000,000; whllo separating rabble from soldiers on both sides, tho proportion in favor of the Americans would be about four to ono in the shape of O.OOO.HOO of fighters to tho 1,200, 000 moderately effective men under the Persian monarch a crushing disparity that would cause Xerxes to regret hav could havo made short work even of Alexander. This American force would comprise 145,931 effective men trained to the use of arms. Among them would be the 26,Sj5 enlisted men who maka up Undo Sam's gallant little army an army that stands ready to tackle anything of Its own size at any time. To this sturdy nucleus would be add ed tho 118,970 men comprising the Na- Try Grain-0 ! Try Grain0 !

So much for the finest army of an cient days. Hut a most Interesting comparison can be drawn by taking the actual modern fighting force of Ameri ca on a flying trip back through a few thousand years of time and land ing them wiy In the year 333 U. C. There would bo no force of trained fighters even In that fighting ago that could stand up before our nrmy with out tho certainty of defeat, for the warriors of America would outnumber three to ono tho nuny that wa ablo to conquer nearly tho whole of tho then civilized world the Invincible army of Alexander the GreRt. This army of Alexander numbered scarcely 50,000 men. At Issus, H. C. 333, Alexander, at tho head of the force, Is said to have met and defeated a Persian army of 600,000. In 331 H. C, at tho battle of Arblla, he defeated another Persian ar my of 600,000. In 334 B. C, with a con siderably smaller force, he had defeat ed' 40,000 Perslnn and Greek mercenar ies at Granlcus. Theso three batles practically brought Persia to Alexan der's feet and made him absolute mas ter of the ancient world. His 50,000 men were doubtless trained soldiers, but Un cle Sam's present forco of trained men tlonal Guard of America, the number of all arms serving under the colors ac cording to a close estimate Just made. The army of American fighters trained for war would therefore number 145,931. Before this tremendous array of men the much-lauded force of 50,000 of the conquering Alexander dwindles Into In significance, and If conquest can be mado tho subject of comparison, the army of the United States as It exists today regulars and National Guards mencould, armed with weapons, sim ilar to tlioe in use In Alexander's time, hr.vo effectually stopped the latter In his merry little pastime of subjugat ing the world. Afte.' stopping him It could havo wiped Alexander and his men off the face of the earth that they had started out to subdue, and could then have proceeded to conquer it themselves at their leisure. These were tho createst armies of ancient days tho one great In numbers only, the other In all-conquering valor and dlsclpllns. HOW THE WOULD HAS GROWN. But to turn to other nations; If the 300,000 Carthaginians sent In the year 480 B. C. against the Greeks In Sicily were' defeated by a force of 50,000 foot and 5,000 horsa led by Gelon of Syra cuse, what chance would they have utcod against t'nele Sam's 5,000,000 of men? Hannibal's original army of 100.. 000 men, only a small fraction of whom crossed tho Alps Into Italy in 218 B. C, would have made a very sorry showing had the modern American army been waiting to receive him. The forces which threatened all-conquering Rome with destruction could have been dis persed without calling out the whole of the National Guard. There were vast houlcs that Invaded ancient Rome that could hardly be dig nified with the name of soldiers the Teutons and Clmbrl were nomad hordes, practically savages enormous In tho aggregate, but easily defeated by trained warriors. America's regu lars could have whlpjied nny of thesi vast nomadic tribes wlth'out the assist ance of the National Guard, but If nec essary they could have been opposed, man for man, In spite of their vast numbers, by the fighting force of the United States today. Thus, it will lie seen, that in drawing parallels between modern events and those of ancient history It Is very neces sary to bear In mind that the world has grown since the days when a forco one-third tho size of Uncle Sam's peace-footing army conquered nearly the whole civilized portion of It. A Padlocked Heart How many women lock their troubles and sufferings in their own hearts and si lently endure misery and pain which would cause strong men to cry out in agony. The suffer of women ate more than half unknown and un appreciated. The refined sensitiveness of their or ganism lays thera liable to a thousand exquisite tortures which a coarser nature can never experience 01 comprehend. The least derangement or disorder of the delicate special organism of their sex over whelms the whole physical and mental be ing with weakness and wretchedness. lint it is a mistake to suiter these troubles in silence. They may be cured in the per fect privacy of home, without the repugnant ordeal of examinations and "local treat ment," which the family doctor is sure to insist upon, No physician in the world has had a wider or more successful experience in the treat ment of woman's diseases than Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. His " Favorite Prescription " is a positive cure for the most obstinate and complicated feminine difficulties. It is the only medicine of its kind pre pared by an educated, skilled physician. Mr. J. V. Bueed, of Omen, Texas, writes : " My wife was badly afflicted with female weakness. We tried three of the best physicians in the country without benefit, but at great expense. My wife grew worse, and we gave up in de spair. She could not get In and out of doors without help; was not able to stand on her feet long at a time, complained of dragging down Sains in abdomen. Nothing but an untimely eath seemed awaiting her, when happy thought I the name of Dr. Pierce came to my mind. I wrote to Dr. Pierce received his advice, followod it, my wife improved perceptibly from the first two week's treatment, continued the treatment six months, aud pronounced the cute compltte, at n cost of less than one month's treat ment by the last physician wc employed before consulting Dr Tierce.
