10 THE SCKAKTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11, 18J)T. A $ "KENNIES ' Marco riorrow, in The Lotus. ! The 13eulah ramp-meeting grounds were; ankle-deep In mud and water, and the rain still fell, not In lively showers that are energetic and Interesting, but with a dreary, penetrating persistence that promised long continuance, and boded 111 for the success of the nnnual camp-meeting. Elder dolefully shook his head at elder and sighed: "Well, brother, there ain't no signs o' lettln' up ylt!" Those families who camped under canvas folded their tents and stole awny-not silently, like Arabs but with much grumbling and loud com plaining. Some few took refuge with friends who woru more fortunately lodged In rough tenements of wood, but the majority went home, discouraged and disgusted. Elder Jenkins, who was a member of the board of trustees and secretly felt personally responsible for the excessive moisture, stood at the big gate as Brother Hank Hawkins and his family drove up to begin the unwilling home ward Journey. The elder tried to seem cheerful and resigned, but the smile ho forced was a sickly one, and had It been ever so hearty. Its effect would have been spoiled by the water that accumulated on his face, ran down the bridge of his nose and dropped with a bplash to his chin. ' "Well, ye're gom. Brother Hawkins?" he said. "I'm terribly sorry, I am so. But," he added piously, "the ways of Trovldence are considerable past nnd in' out, an If He wills wet weather, I reckon we've got fo take It along with the dry." "But I reckon," came a thin, high voice from the rear seat in the wagon, "that's no iason fur settln' the meetln' when ye knowed It were a-gorn to rain. Provldpnce may be mysterious, but the ways o' some men are a mighty sight mysterlouser!" "Why, Sister Hawkins!" exclaimed the elder, in an aggrieved, injured tone. "What on this yearth do ye mean? One would think we'd a-done It a-purpose, to hear ye talk!" "Well," came back the voice, "wheth er It were a-purpose or not a-purpose, all I say Is that there ain't none so bllne as them what won't see, an none so deef as them what won't hear! Didn't I tell ye It were gorn to rain? Say, didn't I tell ye?" "I don't JIs' rlcollect, Sister Haw kins," said the elder slowly, shifting his feet In the mud, "whether you told me it were gorn to rain or not. I hain't got no call to keep track o' what all the wlmen In the county say, an' I reckon that you hain't got no call to keep track of the weather, nuther. We sot the meeting in a dry time, an' at every Wednesday-night prayer meetln' we prayed for pleasant weath er. We done our part. Sister Hawkins, an' the Lord hain't &een fit to favor us, that's all; an when ye set there, proud an' stiff-necked, a-findln' fault with the humble servant In the Lord's hand, the meek Instrument o' His will, it hain't me that ye're angry with, Sister Hawkins; It hain't me that ye're flndln' fault with an" a-castln' slurs at. but the Lord'" "No, I hain't" began the woman in a still higher voice than before. Her husband, who had sat In an un easy silence throughout the conver sation, suddenly said: "Now, mam, don't! Stop yer argyln' an' let the elder git in outer the rain." The man's Injunction was seconded by a look of appeal In the eyes of the eldest of the seven children In the wag ona pale-faced youth of 1C or 17, who seemed too frail for his surround ings. But the woman, if she heard her husband's words or saw her son's look, gave no sign. "No, I hain't a-filndln' fault with the Lord." she said, "but with His unfaithful servant. Ye didn't know It were a-gorn to rain? Well, ye might a-knowed. Didn't Hick's Almanac prophesy It a year ago? 'Rain an' stormy weather the first two weeks In August. Look out fur fallln' weather;' them's the very word.", an' now ye stand there In yer bllneness an' try fur to fine some excuse for yer short comln's. I tell ye. Elder Jenkins, the souls what's lost on account o' the failure o this meetln' will cry out ngln ye at the Judgment Day, an' I shan't lift up my voice to shield ye, 'cause I tor ye It were gorn to rain." Elder Jenkins almost doubled up his fist In anger. "An' I tell ye. Sister Hawkins," he shouted, "that I'm not a-gorn to give ye many more warnings agin thorn what shows you signs and mysteries, an' If ye don't forsake the evils of yer ways, an' cease fur to toiler after false prophets nn' sich, I'm a-gorn to have ye before the church for discipline, I am so. Hick's Almanac! Well, I'll never stir! One ud' think ye read that an' Its prophecies mor'n yo do your Bible." Sister Hawkins was ready to annihi late the elder with her Indignant reply, but the pale-faced lad at her side put his hand on her arm and said, in weary, drawling tones, to his father: "Hadn't ye better drive on, pap?" The heavy man suddenly bethought himself of the fact that he hold the lines and might have ended the trying conversation long before. He clucked to the horses, which with difficulty started the heavy wagon that had been sinking deeeper and deeper Into the mud before the gate. As the wagon pulled out of the sticky clay, upon the hardly less sticky big road, the woman burlst lrto tears. Hank turned around and looked at her In dull surprise, and the pale- mmsmmimmmmwmiiwimmssismimmism ri ...., Gdod Health COTTOLENE r it- The danger to digestion and health that menaces those who eat lord-shoitcned or lard-fried food is happily not found Ja Cottolene.

"Hero ye," growled Hank, courage ous enough to the little one, "ye shot up. One bawlln' nt a time's enough." "Don't ye mln' Jenkins, mam," said the boy tootlilngly. "He's only put out 'cause It's so wot an' they hain't a-gorn to have- enough money to pay expenses. Don't mln' htm." "Mln" him!" sniffed the mother con temptuously', drying her eyes and wip ing her nost on the lower hem of her bedraggled skirt. "Do ye think I mln' him? Humph!" The second boy, on the front seat with his father, was watching the fam ily dog that splashed along beside the wagon, and when Hank was not ab sorbed In keeping the wagon out of chuck-holes, he, too, looked at the dog and talked alternately to him and the loy. The rain continued its steady fall: the horses went slower and slow er; two of the littl-o girls began to sing, over and over again, "There Is a fountain filled with blood;" one baby went to sleep In the pale lad's lap, and one kept pulling restlessly at the mother's hat. The boy looked at his mother again and again. Finally he said, half un der his breath: "What was ye cryln fur then?" The mother turned and looked at him. "Hennle." she said, "I was JIs' un done 'cause we had to come away. I wanted to stay so much, Hennle, nn' if Elder Jenkins had a-beon the kin' o' Christian ho perfesses, he'd a-took us up to his cottage, astld o' standln' at the gate a-talkln' about the myster ious ways o' Providence". "Oh, mam!" Interposed Hennle, "ye know he couldn't a-dono that. They hain't room fur us all." "Boom!" sniffed the woman. "Room! Why, there's seven rooms in that cot tage. If there's one, a-sayln' nuthin' of them divided off by sheets." "But, mam," said Hennle, slowly, "he's got all the preachers there, an' Jennie." The woman turned upon him sharp ly. "Jennie!" she said: "an" who's Jen Jenkins? I never saw people make such fools o' theirselves. Half the camp ground was JIs' about turned crazy by that girl, 'cause she's been away to school astld o' stayin' to hum a-helpln', as girls ort." Hennle flushed a deep red and said nothing. After a few moments his mother said, In a softer tone than she had used be fore that day. "But, Hennle, that weren't why I was disappointed. I thought If we'd a-stay-ed mebbe mebbe ye might a-gorn to the mourners' bench. Why didn't ye go, Hennle? Ye know ye hain't strong ye never was, an' yo never will be ye won't las' long, Hennle, an' it's aw ful if ye hain't prepared." Hennle's blush was all gone, and he caught hold of his mother's hand and squeezed It tightly. "I was a-gorn to tell ye, mam," he said; "I Tillers tell ye everything, ye know. I wanted to go, or thought I lid, mam, especially when I saw saw her there a-workln' among the mourn ers an' a-prayln' nn' a-beseechin'. An' then, mam, I was afeerd afeerd that mebbe It was on her account that I wanted to go. I was afeerd that mebbe 1 was a-thinkln' about Jennie Jenkins ruther than about Jesus Christ, an' I was afeerd." The Hash of anger came again to the woman's eyes. "Yes," she said, "the father drives uc away from the grounds an' the girl drives ye away from salvation. The hussy" "Oh, mam'" walled Hennle. "The hussy, I say! I seen her n drlvln' away In the rain this mornin' with that 'ere dudish young preacher that wears kid gloves. Oh, Hennle, Hennle! ye're worth' a dozen Jen Jen kinses, with all her fine airs. Don't let her keep ye away. Don't let her drive ye to damnation." The wagon suddenly came to a de,d stop, and Hank excitedly sprang up m the seat. "Good Lord!" he shouted, "the bridge Is a-gorn, an' there's somebody on It!" The family tumbled out beside the banks of a swollen little river, In time to see th'e old rickety wooden bridge go to pieces before a big tree that the Hood h'ad undermined As the timbers of the bridge fell apart, Hennle gave an agonized yell. "It's them!" he shouted. "It's them, mam' It's Jen an' the preacher!" And before his mother could reach him, he threw himself headlong into the water. Hennle could not swim. He had nev er been allowed to go with the boys to the river, he was so weak. And the flood tossed him for a moment, like a tiny chip, and then swallowed him from sight. As the big tree that had swept away the bridge floated down stream, the ath letic young preacher, who was at camp meeting on a summer lark, swung from the buggy that had not yet even over turned, and pulled the tenlfled Miss Jenkins after him up on the tree's broad trunk. A furlong below the tree struck the bank and before It swung loose again, he clamored ashore, effusively helping the young lady, and sustaining no more damage th'an a drenching of hlH mornlns suit. And Miss Jenkins did not qven faint. But they saw something tangled among the tree's branches. The young theologian caught at It barely In time ,v i :j tn round tlci. with our traflAmarts- "CWfo. 0&M&X i to save It from the flood. He drew It ashore nnd laid It on the grass. "Poor boy." said Miss Jenkins, turn ing her head away. "I used to go to the same school with' him. He was a strange, sickly boy. It's too bad a great blow to his mother, though they are very common folks, you 'know." And sho shivered with tho chtll and turned away. CHOPIN'S "rU.VI'.UAL MAKCII." How It Wns Composcd--Zlom's Hoc ollcctioiiR. Very few people know that Chopin's "Funeral March" was at first perform ed by a skeleton. It Is thanks to the painter, Zelm. that wo nre now ac quainted with tho fact, says one of our Parisian contemporaries. On the first day of November Hallowe'en of last year, while accompanying 5?lem to his studio In Rue Leplc, I noticed that he was drying some tears from his eyes. Just as he was crossing the threshold of his home. In the artist's heart tolled tho knell of the funeral march, that awful lamentation of the Immortal Chopin. "It is here," said Ztem, "that this march was composed, "We were four at dinner, 39 Rue de la Tour d' Auvergne, at Paul Chovand ler de Vnldrome's, son of tho peer of Frnnco. Besides tho host, the guests were Prince Edmond do Pollgnac, Comto de Ludre, and myself. Paul was a painter of no little skill, and It was In his studio that we spent the evening. I availed myself of a moment, when conversation was beginning to flag, to steal behind a screen, to take hold of a skeleton one like those frequently to be found in an artist's studio and I feigned to be wrestling with thlsfoo of another world. Prince do Pollgnac enjoyed immensely the oddity of my notion. In turn he snatched tho skel eton, made It execute all kinds of dis tortions and ghastly postures; lastly causing it to sit down In front of a piano. Standing by its side he guided the fingers of the unexpected performer nnd made them run on tho keyboard. "We had out out all the lights and ceased all conversations so as to relish fully this weird music, which seemed to arise from some far distant grave. We were there In deep silence, when suddenly we heard quite distinctly three loud knocks. Was it the advent of spirits? We did not know what to make of It, when a lamenting voice was heard crying, 'God of my forefath ers, do not forsake me!' Wo burst out laughing, for we had recognized the voice of Paul, who was trembling. The Joke had lasted too long: we lighted the candles and Comte de Ludre ex plained to us about the three knocks. It was he who, lying on the lounge, had struck tho wainscoting with his feet. The skeleton was replaced behind tho screen. "Some time after that Chopin came here looking as George Sand has so well depicted him, 'his Imagination haunted with legends of the misty re gions, besieged by unnamed phantoms. After a frightful night spent strug gling with spectres which had been clinging to him, threatening to oirry him to tho lower regions, he had come to seek some rest with me. His re lating his nightmares reminded me of the evening spent at Paul Ctevand--ler's. I told him about it; ho shudder ed at mv words and did not raise his eye from the piano that I had bought precisely for his use. 'Have you a skeleton?' was his Inquiry. I had none, nut i promised that ho would find one there that evening. I asked Paul Chevandler de Valdrome and the paint er RIcard to dinner, and during dessert I acquainted Paul with the wish of Chopin. Paul sent his valet to get the skeleton and wo rehearsed the scene that had so much frightened our host of Rue de la Tour d' Auvergne. "What had been a mere Joke then was transformed now, through the in spiration of Chopin, into something grand, awful, nnd painful. Pallid, with Immeasurably distended eyes, Chopin, wrapped in a long shroud, was hugging on his panting heart, the spectre which had haunted him so often In his dreams. From afar we cast on that union of man and death a light which caused the fantastic shadows to quiver. Suddenly we were all moved to the very marrow of our bones; In the deep si lence of the studio spread mournful notes, broad, dull, depressed, deep music unheard until now and slowly the funeral march was developing into life, enchanting us in its diabolical ring. The notes beginning to waver, we ran toward Chopin; under his shroud he was on the verge of collasp ing." JUSTiri.VHIilJ KEVISNGE. Fifty-Cent 1'lcco Wns Had, lint So Wns the Man to Whom It Was I'nld. From tho Washington Star. He looked apprehensively up. and down the street as he and his wife emerged from tho restaurant. His steps were rapid, and It was not until after the corner had been turned that he said: "Maria, I don't want to go through life with a secret in my bosom. Rather than that, I will risk forfeiting your esteem." "What Is the matter? Have you been robbing anybody?" "Don't talk about It in that way! Thre were mitigating circumstances. You remember the counterfeit fifty cent piece that I got last fall?" "Yes. It's the only money you ever succeeded in saving." "It's gone with the ivst. I gave It to the cashier In the restaurant." "By nccldent?" "No. I did It In cold blood. I have been thinking about doing It for a long time. Ordinarily I am not vin dictive, but I got to brooding over the matter till I yielded to temptation." "How did your conscience permit you to do such n thing?" "That's the worst of It. Every time I think about tt it seems to make my conscience feel better. We have been patronizing that restaurant on occas ions for a year at least." "Yes " "The proprietor has given us veal in the chicken salad, codfish In the de lled crabs, chlekory In the coffee and water In the cream." "Thero has been reason for suspic ion." "We havo had evidence that would convince any Jury. After I had given him a fifty-cent piece with some lead In It, I tried to be ashamed of myself, but I couldn't.

A Hook Agent IIuw An Exciting Ex prrionci) with Two Inquisitive Steers From the Northwest Magazine. While In South Dakota last summer a book agent had occasion to cross one of the great cattle-range districts, He wan making the trip on a bicycle and up to this time the Journey had been very enjoyable. Now, however, he was destined to meet with trials and tribulations that would bo worth tell ing to his unborn grandchildren. He knew nothing of these untamed range cattle, and, alas, the cattle were equally as Ignorant of scorching bicy clers. According to our correspondent a veracious chronicler of South Dakota happenings tho agent was making good time and lifting a free and easy soul to heaven, without a slnglo fear of tho browsing herds upon tho rolling plains, when all at once tho proverbial ehango came o'er tho spirit of his dreams. One of tho Btecrs, more cur ious and observant than the others, spied tho strange-looking vehlclo and waa tempted to follow It. By and by other cattlo Joined In the chnsc, and them tho entire herd becamo Inter ested. The agent began to grow nervous and Increased his speed, but this only whetted the curiosity of tho cattle, and they pounded along after him at a rato that was Incredible to tho agent. Tho situation grew decidedly alarm ing. The mild lnquisltlveness of the steers had changed to anger, and they were going to run that peculiar species of cowboy down If It toolcall summer. Fortunately for the agent, tho cowboys on tho range saw the peril, rode to his rescue, and succeeded In divrting the cattlo from the hapless rider. It Is probable that ho will not care to can vass In that part of tho country any morenot on his bicycle. WEIGHING AN ENGINE. A Locomotive Weighed to Ascertain Its Loss by Wcnr nnd Tcnr. From the Albany Express, A peculiar scientific experiment has been made with the famous engine 870, of the New York Central railroad, at the shops at West Albany. Some months ago this large engine, which, in the opinion of many well-informed railroad men, excels even the famous 309, was taken into the shops and com pletely overhauled. It was taken apart completely, and every part of the en gine, from the massive driving wheels to tho very smallest bolt and nut, wns separately weighed. The heavy por tions were weighed In tho shops and the small parts were taken to a Watervllet avenue pharmacy, where they were weighed on the pharmacist's scales. The greatest care was taken by the machinists under the direction of Mas ter Mechanic Buchanan to see that the weighing was acurate. When every part of the engine had been weighed a force of the best skilled mechanics was nut to work to re assemble the engine. When it was complete again It was put Into active service. A short time ago the engine was taken back to the shops and mechanics were put to work dissecting it again. Once more every part was weighed. The scales of the pharmacist were brought Into service again. When every portion had been weighed the record was compared with the former one. Then Master Buchanan knew just how much the engine had lost In weight through the wear of a known amount of work. The records of the weights of the separate parts showed which parts were subjected to the most wear. The test cost many hundreds of dol lars, but the New York Central was willing to snend the money In order that it might be able to know what parts of an engine wear out most quickly and In what ratio the several parts wear out. The exact figures have not been made public. There is no doubt that they will bo interesting to mechanics and scientists. JONES COUNTY JUSTICE. How Ills Honor.

When his Honor, 'Squire Balkcom. called the court to order this morning in tho spacious umbrage of the trees that shadow his yard, he noticed a dusky son of Ham and his wife stand ing among the spectators with an anx ious look upon their faces. "What can I do for you?"jasked his Honor. "I'se come to get you to 'vorce us, Jedge." "You have?" said his Honor. "Don't you know that such an act Is beyond the pale of this court?" "Yes, sah; shore.

"I say, you woolly-headed Imp of Ethiopia, don't you know that the Constitution of the United States, em bodied In Its laws, denies to a justice court the power of annulling the mar ital vows; that it belongs to a higher tribunal? Is that any plainer?" "Yes. sah, boss; she shore did null my constitution; why" "Oh, go to Gehenna. I say I can't and won't separate you. Do you un derstand, now?" "Say.Jedge, I'se got de money to pay you, boss, for God's sake" "How much you got?" asked his Honor. "Six dollars and a half, boss." "Then I fine you $1.50 for taking up the time of the court and $3 for at tempting to sully its Judicial ermine by a bribe." The Roman mother who with her mantle de fended the bodv of her child from the ravenous birds of prey is a perfect type of motherhood in all times and among all peo. ile. To protect er offspring from harm Is the overwhelming instinct of moth, erhood. Modern moth ers are coming to understand that the best protec tion they can give their chll. . v. fit'ia uicu aKuuiBi inc preying acci dents of life is to transmit to them an abundance of natural health and hardihood. But a mother cannot confer health and strength upon her offspring unless she has it in some measure herself. Prospective mothers should know that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a sci entific medicine, which giies perfect health and strength to the special organs con. cerned in motherhood. Taken early during the expectant time, it makes the coming of baby entirely safe and nearly painless.
