Alighting fioin his wagon, the teamster ir cover ed, neaihy, u big anno battling with a rattlesnake, fully five feet In length. The eaicus of n dead lamb lay on tho Kround, nnd the crane had evidently been feeding on It when It discovered the snake, which had been basklns; on n rock In the sun. The crane with wings half distended would wait for the snake to coll and Mi Ike, and then eluded the stroke with wonderful dexterity, would datt at Its nntagonlst nnd batter It with both beak and talons before It could recoil again, and would then tcttcat and wait for another opportunity to attack. The light was waged In this manner until the snake, torn and lacerated, was Mi etched out lifeless. Then the crane poized It In Its claws, and, with a shriek of victory. How awny with the prize.

Tho vear betore Mr. Osgood had won with his Maple, iind the races of 1S70 pioved again tho supcilorlty of American yuchtmon. In IS.'l Livonia was agatn beaten foy W. I'. Douglas' fiappho. Tho follow In? summary of the laces and these suc ceeding tSil is compiled from official sources- Th- race on Oct. Is was 20 miles to windward oif Sandv Hook Lightship and lotum. On Oct. 1fi tho course usJ was the regular Nov York Yacht Club course.

All kinds of luinors weie oscu lated leganllng tho races, but at an official investigation it was pioved. as ev ei body knew It would be, that theio was nothing at fault but the crochotv temper of n bad loser. Loid Dun raven came to America thorughly lm Pleased with the belief that Vulykiio III was going to take the coveted cup back to the other side and he could not stand the beating that his yucht re ceived. THIS YDAR'S RACE. This year tho cup will bo contested for by Sir Thomas Llpton's yacht Shamrock, and though the name of the defender of tho cup will not bo official ly announced till the week bcfoie tho laces, them can be no doubt that Col umbia will bo chosen.

The gold knob on her silk umbrella seemed to guarantee a decent bill of costs. 'Mr Raggaly?" she asked, timidly, I bowed and ciossed a leg. My pat ent leather shoe would, of course, show her that she was dealing with a law-er who was none the loss a man of tho world. She stared at the fire. "I hardly know how " "Nothing matrimonial, I hope?" said I, encouiaglnglv. "I am not mauled." I felt vaguely glad, without knowing w by. "Not or not a breach of cr " I think she sighed. "Not even that. Oh, it Is very commonplace nnd hor rid. All business Is horrid, don't you rthlnk?" "Well," I cried, cheerily, "wo must extricate ou as well as we can.

"How ciuolly dliect you men nie with one another'" she cried, with something1 like a shudder. "We don't waste time over phrases," I admitted. "Now, what does this fel low owe'" "Thirty-six pounds fourteen shill ings." "For value received?" "Yes, for dresses." "Dresses?" "Yes. coats and vests, and and thlnp-s." "Oh. a tailoi's bill.

Fair cue the flowers and the ehlldten. but their subtle suggestion is fairer; Raro Is the lose-burst of dawn, but the secret that closes It Is rarer; Sweet Is tho exultanco of song, but tho strain that piccedes it Is sweeter And never wus poem vet writ, but tho meaning outmastcrod the meter. Never a daisy that grows, but a mystery guldeth tho glowing; Never a river that flow 3, but a majesty scepters the flowing; Never a Shakespcate that homed, but a stronger than ho did enfold him And never a prophet foretells, but a mightier sccr foretold him. Hack of the canvas that throbs the paint er Is hinted nnd hidden: Into the statue that breathes the soul of the sculptor Is hidden; Under the Jov that s felt like the Infinite tissues of feeling Crowning the glory ree.aled Is tho glory that crowns the toveallng. Great nro tho svmbold of being, but that which Is sjnibokd Is greater, Vast tho create and beheld, but vaster tho liiwaid cieator; Hack of tho sound broods tho silence, back of the gift stands the giving Rnck of tho hnnd that receives thrill the sensitive nerves of receiving. Spaco Is ns nothing to spirit, the deed Is outdone by tho doing; Tho heart of tho wooer Is warm, out warmer tho heart of tho vvoulng, And up from tho pits whero theso Bhlver, and up from tho heights whero those shine. Twin voices and shadows swim sturward, and tho cbBcnco of life Is divine. -Richard Rcalf. " TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION." It Is Also Stronger Than Fiction. There Is an old tlmo story which serves to Illustrate the saying that truth Is stranger than Ilctlon. A young Bailor has tome back from his lhst voyage, and Is telling his fond and admiring mother the wondeis he htn seen during his long nhseneo. "Why," says .TncU, "when wo weie heaving up our anchor In the Red Sea. we foiought up one ot Pharaoh's chariot wheels on tho anchor fluke." "I can hollo ve It. .Tnck. ' said his mother, "for we all know that Pharaoh was drowned In the Red Sea and his chariots nnd horse- I men were 'whelmed In the tide' ns the livmn sny. Rut didn't you see any thing really wonderful." "Well, mother, after being wc'l nigh wrecked In a tornado wo sailed up n river of pure rum to n mountain of solid sugar, and took aboard a cargo for the China Seas." "I don't see anything remarkable afoout these things, Jack." said the old lady "Wo a'l know that the sugar onel nun come fiom the Indies, nnd land knows there must bo m untalns of sugar and lum to keep up the sup ply nil these vears." "Tell me ot some strange and extrooidlnarv thing vou saw cm your voynge." P001 Jack was now pu7?led llo had drawn on his Imagination to the limit, and could think of nothing more, so lie fell back on the truth "Well, mother," ho snid, "a good man things nr cxtraoidlnary on a first voyage. Perhaps the thing that sttuek me most was when wo ran Into a s-chocl of Hy ing llsh and aw them jump out of the water and fly nway like a flock ot birds." The old ladv threw up her hands In horror "Jack" she said, "I don't want any of those "allor yarns hore I'm surpi'sed at your talking about fish flying and In a school too I can be lieve tho chariot wheel got caught on the anchor, and tho- mountains of sugar and rivets of rum aio found in tho West Indies. Tnose things stand to reason. Put to talk of llsh Hying Is an Insult to common sens." "Truth Is strunger thun Ilctlon." to m:my another besides tho sailors mother. To "sti.iln nt the gnat and 'wallow a camel" Is still the popular piactice.

I ve seen men and women whore every hi oath was a sigh, who weie coughing awny their lungs, th'lr lips dyed ted with hemorrhages, their eys hollow, their cheeks blading with the hectic of life's autumn I have seen (hose people undei the healing In llunee of this medicine, como back to robust hnlth, hearty lmidy men and wi men." What a popular clamor theie would be for such n medic Ino weie It founc And ot there Is not a claim made foi this suppositious medicine that cannot be made for Di. Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discover, and substantiated by lacts Their aio thousands, tens of thousands, huudiods of thousands of poop!- wl 1 can testify to sick stomachs mndo well weak lungs made strong, foul blood made puie by tho use ot "Golden Medical Disco veiy." Yet. be cause the medicine Is on F.alo every where, Instead of coming from some remote corner of the globe, and because its mot Its cue testified to in the familiar speech of f 1 lends and neighbors, we think there Is nothing wonderful about It. There's nothing wonderful about a medicine which has cutcd Mrs. Brown or Mr. Smith. Rut If the claim Is mndo of a cuie of THD. AKOOND OK SWAT. people talk of tho mliaculous niodlclno that did It. It's only when tho disease is desperate, and the di-tors r.ro help less tint' people leirn the real value of D" Pieico's Golden Medical Dis covery. "Somo two voars ngo I was almost a helpless victim to that dread disease consumption " wiltes Mr Chailos rross, P M . of Sitka White county. Ind "I was confined to my room for several months- my friends and neigh bois had given up all hope of my re covery, until one da a filend advised mo to take Dr. Plciro's Golden Medicnl Dlseoveiy, and after I had taken tho contents of the Bccond bottle I began to Improve fter taking six bottles I was, I honestly believe, delivered from the gravci and entirely cured. I am nuovv a strong and hearty nnn." The direct clulm that Dr. Pierce'H Golden Medical Discovery cures con sumption Is never made, because con sumption has many stages, and I,i the later stages of the disease a cure can rnrelv be expected. But It Is neverthe less a fact, that "Golden Medical Dlt- Icovery" has cured, tlmo and again, in cases: where there wore cough, hemor rhape, night-sweats and emaciation cnes In short, where every symptom marked consumption and vvhero tho nttendlng physician hid diagnosed con sumption, often giving" up the cno an past hope or help. "I was very sick Indeod," writer Mis, Mollle Jacobs, of Felton. Kent county, Dcluwnr", "nnd our family doctor sil-i I had consumption. I thought I must die soon for I felt awful bad. Had a, foad oongli, spit blood, was very short ot breath, In fact could hardly get my breath 11 1 all some limes. I had palns In my chest nnd right lung. Before I took your 'Golden Modlc.il Discovery nnd 'Pleasant Pellets ' I was so weak! I could not sweep 11 room, and now I can do a small wrshlrg. C woiked In the canning factory this fall, and I feel like n new person. I vj. sick over tw 3 years." A RnASONARLH PROPOSITION. Tho fact that "Golden Modlcat DH covcrv" cures "weak" lungs, foronchl tl, hemnrrhnc-o of tho lungs, obstinate, stubborn cough, Is Indisputable, It It also Indisputable that unless thoso forms of disease are cured they often terminate In consumption. A consid eration ot the theory of Dr. Pierce's tti'ntir.cMit will show at a glnnco that I thnre Is nothing unreasonable In tho claim made bv so many men and wo men that thev have been cured ot eonsuiiptlon by the use of "Golden Medical Dlscoveiv" Consumption means n consuming on tissues, a wasting awr.y of the body. A bodv that Is kept well nourished can not waste away. An 111 nourished foody is always a marked feature of con sumption When the body Is not ade quately noinlshed It is generally duo to tho falluio of th" stomach and ott.cp oigans of "digestion nnd nutrition to prop'-ilv extiact the nutritive elements fiom the food. The nutriment when extracted Is often but Imperfectly as similated and so every day sees a wuste of tissue which the nuttltlon received InnsufTiclent to repair. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery heals diseases of the stomach and di gestive and nutritive s stein. It en ables the perfect digestion and assimi lation of the food received. Hence tho waste of the body Is repaired, tho wasting Is stopped, nnd tho wastlni; dlsens'o Is cured nutuially. "I have taken one bottle of Doetof Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for Indigestion nnd II. -or complaint," wrltess Mr C. M. Wilson, of Yndkln College, Davidson count v, N. C. "Havo hnd ni bad rpclls since I commenced taking; your medicine In fact lmve not felt III e tho same man Before I took tho 'Golden Medi'.il DiscovorV 1 could not eat anything without awful' distress, but now I can eat anything' without: having unpleasant feelings.
