10 THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY. OCTOBER 29. 1898. AUNT ELVIRA'S BUREAU. "I am afraid," said Unbelt Dawson to his wife, as lio took Ills plnco at tho daintily rnrcncl illnncr table.

I hope 1 nm not a tyrant, hut If mv wife's was too pood for my folks, it would be too good for me," paid Mr. Dawson with decision, and when his wife lookul nt him peihnpq she was relieved to Know that her mother-In-law was Bleeping the slep of the lust." 'It ceitalnly does wm haul, but tlieie aie always two sides to a story Did John tell you ' "He tell me? Not he. 1 found It out by accident." "ivrhaps, then, -you have not heard the whole of It." "Peiliaps not." replied Mr. Pnuson, i-ententlottslv, and let the niattei diop John Airlift had been tho friend of Hubert Dawi'on for veai. He was n simple, quiet follcnv, some jeais the senior of 'lis wile. IJe was fond of do mestic life, nt tho littler side of which he had -"ii very little, as he was left lilt oiphan at a tendet age. his sol.j t-urvlvliig relative being the lllvlra Hi own In iiuestloti. John bnd not been looked upon as n niairylng man, but fiom Hie first he had b'eer. urcnll tuliili with Miss Smith, who was a new light on the llr mnnient of the snrlctv of Watfivllle. and had imsliul his silt with siu'h i Igor that ho had cm led off the pilre Irom the vounger and wealthier men. Miss Smith lml nut alwajs moved In the class of noelc-iv whlih she nt pres ent giaeed. Phe had dining bet eaily H'llfl M'B'tlteil With the lst of llcr kindled upon a faun, and not n feitlli fat in, either. Hut the tide wMdi In '-aid to be In the iffnliH of in n Iind swept mineral nil beneath tht inm bed of soil which her father and brothers had liltherio tiled with such iatn letuins. and with Its discovery Wealth Mowed Into the family co;fe-s until Its menibeis all forget that tli-y had ever W-n poor. All Watei ville con-ldeied the match between John Aich-r nrd Mbs Smith a very suitable one. Mi. iehei's lather had bestowed a lovelv 1 1 1 1 1 " house, cliarinlngly luinl'-lied. upon his daughter, and with health and a fair Int'oine they ceitaluly i"ight to have been happy. Mrs. Dawpon was fully as fond of John Aieher is her husband was, ami theiefore took an Inteiest In his a Talis. Khe did not like Hu thought of out.'lde gossip getting about eoniei nine' tha young w Ife, and lueai"-f of this mucin up her mind to imostlgate the storv lor hersilf. and to do whet ! could to smooth down the rourn ilaees. It was a charming little diawlng room in which Mrs. Aieher leeeived lief eallcis, beautiful and co-.tl things lining eveiy nook nnd comer. There was not much In common between tli ednte Mis. Phwop. who was old enough to be Mis. Aielier's mother, nnd that ali young ination, who evi dently had made up her mind to cairy things with i high hind. Mis. Dawson had too much good sen--o to bifiai-h the subject heiM'lf, but Mrs. Archei was a great talker, and t-oon came nioiuid to the matter, which was evidently uppeiniost In her mind. 'John and I have had mil flrsV nuairel," Mis. Dawson. "A week or two ago he tulle Insisted upon the ptoprlely of ciffeilng hK Aunt r.lvlra u home with us. It seems that the old people who have alwavs cared foi her place aie going out west to their mauled eldldicn John dots not want to put the old lady Into the caie of Mrangor.s. 1 gave only a i eluetant c mi sent, for I cannot ablcl- eldeily peci plo they aie so fuv. Hut John coaxed and pleaded until I gave in. Wo agieed upon tli- laige fiont cham ber fur her. and I wtiu with the best giaee I could muster to Invite her In pel son. Then tin- fu". began. 1 found she had a van load of peisonal niop eity, a eat and a pat mi. I agieed to the live stock, but I drew the line at the olif furnltnie. Then John went to see her, and she consented to come with only her minks, but at the last mom. eut she stuck tu a most dlsienutable old bm can, and I would not allow It to come Into in house. 1 told her I did not hae a single aitiele of old furniture In mv house and I could not think of allowing that old bmeaii to come. That made bei mad, and she Strike tjulckij. " On the mstaut w hen a lion snow his lem pet " muI a famous lion tauter cut mm quickly over the face.

That old bureau is woith a dozen of new-fangled ipiies." Anyway, she wouldn't give In, neither would I, and so the whole thing Is off. John Is very angry, 1 am afraid, but 1 don't care." "Oh yes, you do. I am sorry, in dear Mrs. Aieher. It Is evident that the craze of the antique has not struck you. or jou would bo wild to have that old bureau." "Si, Indeed. I never could nblde old traps. I like new. bright, expensive furniture. 1 was going to get the old lady a beautiful new chiffonier. Hut It Is all off now." "Well, 1 must say I think It Is n pity. You know, my dear Mrs. Aieher, that Mrs. Hi own Is all the mother your husband ever knew, but we must nil glow old In time." , "That's tt tie'; but she never did any thing extra for John. Hesldes, 1 nm under no obligation to her. I would lather have her room than her com pany at any time, and why should I give In when she won't." Why. Indeed, thought Mis. Dawson, though she did not give expression to her thought Xeveitheless. she did say what she could to the young wom an about fotebearanee. and felt when Mio left as If her visit had not been In vain, and that if John took the light wiiy his wife would finally con sent, It was evdent, however, that John Aieher did not follow tho lead that Mis. Dawson had given him. for his limit did not become an Inmate of Mrs. Archer's pietty home, and about thiee weeks afterward Mr. Daw sou bi ought home word that the old lndv was dead "And the funny pnn of It nil Is," said Mr. Dawson, with a chuckle of ainuscinent, "thu she left that bone of contention, the old bureau, to Mrs. Archer, 'her beloved niece,' bv will Her leal estate goes to John: she made provision for her pets nnd her old senants, hut the buieau without a sciap else Koes to Mis. John. The old woman had a stiong sense of the hum orous. I wonder whnt my fine lndv will do with It, now?" "1 wonder, too.' nld his wife. It was theiefoie with some natural cuilosily that Mrs. Dawsor called once mow upon hei young filend, whom she found In a high state of Indigna tion "Spiteful old thing' Slip was Just de termined to ninke tumble between me and my husband, dead or alive. John In sists that the buieau must coin" here. The Idea' Hut I shall not allow the old lattletiap to come Insid" my hous". I am on guard have been for days an 1 v. hen It comes I shall send It oft again. 1 gces-s I nm a match -o- John and .in oul woman." While the lady was Fpeaklng nil -piess wagon diove up to the pretty fiont e-irauee, and the driver dis mounting chopped the tail-board of his wagon and drew a very solid-looking old-fashioned bureau to the back. Then apparently lememberlng that he ought to iiink.- some Innuiiie-s as to the dis position of the article In his cbaigo before shouldering It, he opened the gate and walked toward the house. Ho did not get a chance to ling, for Mrs. Archer herself opened the door. "Vou can take that old thins away again, my good man, I do not want It here." "Isn't this Mr. Archer's place?" "Yes, this s .Mr. Aielier's place. Hut, don't jou understand. I don't want that buieau. You aie to take it away." "Hut I have only Just hi ought It, nnd wheie must 1 take It to? I was told by the old man to bring It heie, Heslde, sine, I wasn't paid for hauling it." "Wry well. I will pay you for haul ing Ii. How much is it" "Seventy-live cents." said the young Iilshmnn, with n grin. He evidently thought this u nun go. but so long as he got his )Uy t did not matter much. And the etm iuarter would come In hnndv. Mis. Alrhei paid him, and as lie tin nod to go he said: "Must 1 take It back to the old place where I got It, ma'am?" '('eitiilnly not if you did. It would onlv have to he brought back bote again. !io what you like with it, my good man, but don't bring It back here." "All light, ma'am. You'ie sine noth ing will be done to me?" "I'eifeetlv sine The bureau was glv in to me, and I lefuse to take It. I rIvo It t" you. Do what you like with It." "All right, ma'am. I am glad this !ud heai' the dlseouise. My name Is "No. no. I don't want your name nor address. want to know nothing eeept Hint you get that buieau away fiom my fiont gate before my husband let urns "All tight, nin'eni," the expie.ssmnn said lor the tlilnl time. Ho sllnned the thiee quaiteis Into his pocket and walked back to his wagon In the most delllieiute fashion, like one In deep thought. .Mis Dawson saw that her hostess was veiv anxious to hnve him ih-pait but he was natuiallv slow In his movements, and It was evident that the old buieau was a kind of white c lephant on his hands. Hut at last he was off, and Mis Aieher bieathed finer. Mis. Dawson soon saw that she was t1 too excited a mood to enjoy her Mt, j,(i wjti, some legietful thoughts over her .voung filend's rutin e happiness, the eldeilv l.ulv took her ilenaiture. Meantime Tim OTIaheitj diove nhniit to several second-hand stoics to dispose of his present The first dealer refused to take It at all. and the second offeied him only r.0 cents. " 'Deed and I'll not tnke that for It," said Tim. "It's an llllgant chlst or draweis. I'll take it homo to my sis teis to kape the children's clothes In. It'll be fine for that, sure." So saying. Tim got upon his wagon nnd drove aw ay. "Hoic, Maggie, me Jewel." he said a little Intel, to a comely young liish wo man, who, upon hearing the sound of a wagon stopping, inn from her tiny cottage In a narrow street to "spake" to her in-other, "here's nn llllgant chlst of di aw eis for you. It was given to me b a lady a bit ago. I was going to sell It. but jlst In tho nick of time I thought of you." The Lord bless you, Tim, for n good biother" said Mis. Connelly. "It's the veiy thing of nil that I want tli - most. Tho childer' things be that mussed that 1 don't know what to do with them sometimes " 'Well here you are. Hive me a hand with It. for it Is lather heavy to lift alone" Hut somehow Mis. Connelly was not stiong, or she was nvvkward, for th old bureau went down with a thud sucli a thud that a board clnttered off tho'tmek nnd fell with a flat pucknga tied up In blown paper Into tho gut ter. Tim pushed tho package nnd the board-nsldo with his foot, while he In structed his sister linw to take hold of the old bureau to lift It up on th CARELESSNESS. Often Causes no End of Suffering. Probably 'half the people who see this in tide suffer from 1'lles. It Is one of tho commonest discuses and one of the most obstinate.

Something about the package claimed his sisters attention, and she rtioped down nnd plek"d It up. "Weil take this In first, Tim." she lemaiked, "an' If you push that chlst back tlieie out or the road, Tom will get some one to help him in with It th? night. I nlvet was much on the lift." "All tight, Maggie. Hut I must be off now. I have a good Job wnltlng for me to haul a trunk. Hy the pow ers. I ought to bo there this minute." "Not till we see what's In this ollld bit of paper, I'alx, Tim, me boy, 'tis money. 1 think." "Faith, Maggie, vol' were alwavs a caution for thinking- things.

Connelly's clean kitchen table it piovcd to be n lawyer's folder for holding legal documents, and It contained such a pile of treasury notes that It fnlilv bulged and took the br-'ath fiom Tim O'Klaherty and sls lei to oven try to count them.

She l'.ad evidently planned it us a surpilse foi her nephew and niece, never thinking that ufter her death the bureau would still prove unac ceptable.

Little need had 1 to uuestlon Who it wns beside me there, For no other's touch could thrill mo With a joy so sweet and rare. Long we lingered, till the sunset Faded to an amber light; And tho weo stais, coyly peeping, Lit the path of coming night.

And his words so full of gladness, Made my loving heart rJoico, Till an undertone of sadness Love detected In his voice. Laughingly I ral'led him On his sid and thoughtful air, Told him that I thought my presence Ought to banish every care. Then in nccents of compassion, I'nderneath Hie moon's nale beams, He. my lover, rudely shattered All my fond and happy dreams. Telling me that very evening iio had joined the patriot land, Who would meit the Spanish forces And for IJIght ard Justice stand, "nut," he said, to soothe my sorrow; "Let this th night, dear, be your pride, You will be a soldier's sweetheart, And, borne clay, a soldier's bride." Through my tea-s i smiled and answered, Choking back tho sobs which came: "When jou come back with your laurels I'll be proud to bear our name." Then. In eloquence of silence, Clasping close each other's hand. Speaking language which but hearts speak And hearts cnly understand.

FICKLE AUTUMN No Danger if Warner's Safe W 111 Mi Mw mmsmMm, MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD. Gallium Sells for $3,250 an Ounce Other High-Pilced Metals. "Tho majority of people when nsked to namp tho inbst precious metals usually mention gold as llrst, plantln lim as second and silver as third," said the pioprletor of a largo unsay and re fining establishment In New York to the wilter recently. "If nsked to name others some might add nickel and a few aluminum to the list. Now, let us see how near the truth they would be. Gold Is worth about $250 per pound troy, plantlnum $1'!0 nnd silver about $12. Nickel Is worth about CO cents and pure aluminum from fiO cents to $2 to the troy pound. "We will now comparo these prices with those of the raier and le&s well known metals. To take them In alpha betical order, barium, the metal which Davy Isolated from Its ore, baryta, In 180S, sells for $950 a pound when It Is sold nt nil, und calcium Is worth $1,800 a pound. Clrluni Is a shade higher; Its cost Is X1C0 an ounce, or $1,920 por pound. These begin to look like fabu lous pi Ices, but they do not leach the highest point, ehiornlum being $200. Cobalt falls to about half the nice of silver, while dldyiulum, the metal Iso lated by Masander, Is the same price as calcium. Then comes gallium, which Is worth $3,230 an ounce. Dlth this me tal the, highest price Is i cached, and It may well be called the tarest and most pieclous of metals. "Clucium Is worth $2.7) per ounce, In dium $150, Iridium $Im8 a pound, Jan thanlum $17.'., and lithium $1G0 per ounce. Nldlum costs $12S per ounce, osmium, palladium, platinum, potas sium and rhodium bring, respectively $010, $100, $1S0, $32 and $312 per pound. Stiontlum costs $12S an ounce, tantnum $144. murium $D. thoilum $272, vana dium $'.20, yttorlum $114 and zlneonluin $2,"0 an ounce Thus wo see that the commonly re ceived opinion as to what aie the most pieclous metals is quite erroneous. Har- lutn Is moio than font time as valuable an gold, and gallium mine than 1C2 times as costly, while many of the other me tals mentioned aie twice nnd tin Ice as valuable. Aluminum, which cost $S and ?U a pound iu 1S90, Is now piodueed as cheaply us inc.- lion, zinc, lead nJ copper." THE NTJMBEK OF -LANGUAGES.

TOl ZiVvKf'OJ A chill nlr nnd a lowcilng sky In the morning, a sudden ,iusli of heat In the middle of the afternoon, then a cutting wind after sunset such Is tho history of an nutuiuu day In the not Hi tempera te zone. This Is tho weather that threat ens not only tho avowed Invalids, but many who fancy themselves stronger than they are. It strikes them In the back. It stops the free action of the kidneys, Then come feelings of cold, hendaehe, nervousness, and, worst of nil, the grinding, cutting lhoumutlsm which may last for years, defying common remedies, ointments, lln. luents, etc. The worst of diseases begin In the kidneys, nnd In the fickle autumn weather the seeds of danger are sown. Avoid tho saddest consequences of these uncertain days. Strengthen your kidneys with Warner's Safe Cure. P. W. Lewis, of Clyde, Ohio, writes: 'I hud been contlticd to tho house for months with bcI ntlo rheumatism, not able to get into or out of bed with out help, nud had despaired of ever being able to walk again. A friend advised me to take Warner's Safo Cure. I told hint 1 had been lame so long I had no hopes of get ting well. Hut a drowning man will grasp nt a straw, so I sent for two bottles, and when I had taken them I walked to my barn, with the old of two canes. "I got more Warner's Safe Cure, and It served the sci atic rheumatism as Admiral Dovvcy served the Spanish ships at aiauua. ii aiso KnocKeu my tun enemy, uidnoy tioublc. I was soon nble to dispense with my canes nnd to go about my business." The connection between the kidneys and the rheuma tism wns probably obvious to Mr. Lewis, but It may not be to ever body who reads the stoiy of his recovery. Tho diseased kidneys, sluggish unci Incompetent, Instead of tak ing dead tissues from the blopd and hurrying It out of the body, acted as a dam. In such a case, with every beat of the heart, tho blood Is laden with u substance as truly poisonous as arsenic or strychnine. Hut It Is a lingering poison, except when tho rheumatism touches the heart, then It kills like lightning. There Is no hope for tho rheumatic unless he nttend to his kldntvs und, by making them sound nnd strong, rid his system of tho enemy. There is more than hope; there Is ceitnlnty of lenowed health In Wnrnet's Safo Cure. Can nny fair-minded man, or woman, doubt this, uftcr reading Mr. Low Is' letter?
