It is Mr. Thomas Hues who asks in

ing to that iemiuine coigne cf vantage
wherein lies woman's greatest strength
. a gush of silent tears. She knew too
much to add reproaches, accusations,
angry words; that would have given
him something to answer, something to
overthrow. It is only when a woman
weeps, silently, desolately, showing no
anger, making no charge, that she has
man at her mercy. Utterly f ;lse as was
the position in which bhe had placed
Brewster before the garrison world at
this moment, he actually did not know
but that be might be blamable for all
taut he might be much less sinned
uirainst than sinning. He was no fool,
only so much of one as the strongest of
bis kind sometimes become in the hands
of the softer sex. Samson La i his De
lilah; Hercr.les, Omphale; Belisarius,
p ,.r devil, had both Antonia and TLeo
tioia. It wa3 bad enough to have Lor shrink
to ilie opposite side of tne carriage the
instant he had assisted her in and there
ive way to apiarently uncontrollable
weeping; it was bad enough to have to
ttand there for a moment or two until
the lady's long suffering spouse should
lie hunted up (he had been having a
igar with one or two of the elders in
the 6anrtity of the little smoking room):
but what made matters simply intoler
able was that just at the foot of the
stairs, under the b!ad gallery, just
where the lantern on the big pillar
would shine full upon himself and his
lachrymose partner, stood Major Berrien
in earnest conversation with Captain
llolfc. and both looked up, glanced
quickly but searchingly at him and at
Ler, raising their forage rajs in silent
salutation, an1 turned away. Poor
Curly! As in duty lxmud, he leaned
into the carriage, not too ardently lag
ging the weeping dame to say what had
so distressed her, but she would not re
ply. Possibly she thought he might yet be
induced to clamber in after her, and
there in the dark iuterior tenderly be
seech her to speak; but he was all eager
ness to hasten back V the hoproom.
If he could but have speech with Mrs.
Berrien a moment, he might make her
understand the situation; she had al
ways been cordial and sympathetic
But it was three or four minutes, per
haps, liefore Knowles came, thanked
Lim for his attention to his wife,
stepped in, and how her tears were
explained to her liege lord nobody
knows. Somebody who knew her, how
ever, was mean enough to suggest that
they were of the theatrical and control
lable order, and, as Randolph expressed
it, "she braced up and grinned as soon
jts Curly was left behind."
The instant the carriage rolled away
Brewster turned and sjed np the stairs.
At the very top he met the colonel com
ing hastily down, a brown telegraph en
Vi !'i;e in his hand, the soldier operator,
vith a ItMik of repressed excitement on
Lis f.ice. clu.-e at his heels.
"Come with me, Brewoier," said Far
pihar, in preoccupied but ositivc mau
imt. "Morgan, find the adjutant and
ouartennaster, and say that I wish to
see them at the office."
"I'll get my cap and follow you at
once, sir," answered Brewster, and has
tened into the dressing room. There he
met Hazlett and Thorjw just coming
out, throwing their cavalry capes over
their shoulders, silent &nd preoccupied
like their chief. Seizing his cap, Brew
s'er paused one longing instant for a
glance into the hoproom. Again tho
floor was thronged. To the merriest of
music "Toujours Uahuif the young-
r dancers were fairly romping in the
half galop, half polka step the joyous
tune inspires, and in their midst, n.t
romping, but dancing with a slower, al
most l.uiguil grace, Winifred Berrien
jipjieared to his troubled gaz?. her slen
der waist half encircled by Randolph's
aim, her dark eyes downcast, her color
sind animation gone.
"Come, Brewster." called Ilazlett
fro.n the diKrway, "Fanpahar wants us
at once aud does not want anybody else
to ku.vjr."
"What's up?"
"You'll know in a moment. The
colonel doesn't want it mentioned here."
At the foot of the siairs, under the
plaie of the same big lamp. Farqnhar,
with Berrien and Rolfe, st-iod waiting.
(Mancing impatiently up. as though to
inuke sure of his men, FurquLar took
Berrien by the ami and silently led the
way. Rolfe and Ilasl -tt, Tliorjie and
Brewster failing in lhisd. It was but
a few steps to the oSice.
"I'ull down the shades, orderly, and
one lamp will ?x enough. That'll do.
Close the door aud remain outside," said
Farquhar. as he threw off his cape, then
silently waited nn til the sleepy truinieter
had can iod out his orders aud vanished.
By this time, too. Warren and Drake,
the adjutant and the quartermaster, had
come bustling in, and. noting the silence
of those already on the ground, riuiply
removed their caps aud waited the colo
tiel's pleasure. For an instant Farqnhar
stood tapping the lid of the desk with
the butt of his pencil and studying the
long dis;u.tch which he held in his hand.
Then h looked nj.
"Gentlemen, we are o:rr0 t th
field; one batuliou to go at once, the '
1 ' 1 TS
foKoV
A W
omer to toi low m ten nours just as soon
at cars can be provided. Berrien, you
will lead off."
For a moment not a word from any
bodv; then the major Fpoke:
"How much time have we, sir?"
-I cannot telL You load up, the mo
ment the railway company can get a
train here. They have plenty of engines
and cars at the junction and ought to
be able to furnish what we need by day
break. Meantime you will have to rouse
tout men, pack up everything that is
not to be taken, cook three days' ration
and be ready to get the horses aboard.
Go at it as quietly as possible. I want
nobody at the hop to know of the orders.
Let the dance goon. Your men must
take all their blankets and the heaviest
clothing they haye. No one knows what
may be in store for us either in furs or
fighting."
Again dead silence, broken only by
the rapid clicking of the telegraph in
strument in the adjoining room and th
toft, melodious strains borne on the
wings of the whispering night wind.
Another waltz, and one which she had
promised him he should have the latter
half of. thought Brewster. Even now he
listened yearningly to recognize the
strain. Ave, he might have known it!
her favorite of all, "Loves Dreamland."
But the colonel was speaking again:
Of course you will do well to weed out
any sick or ineffectives you may have.
It U going to be a bitter campaign, and
after our numnier and fall under south
ern suns will be all the tougher. Holden
will co with vonr command, Berrien,
and I have sent for him. Here are your
four troop commanders; so yon may as
well give your instructions at once and
let them get to work."
"You have Ua.rd the colonel's orders,
gentlemen; I do not kno- pf anything I
have to add. Start out your tiwt ser
geants and the cooks at once, and let
the men pack without unnecessary j
noise. I will give all farther details as
aoon as Colonel Farqnhar aud I have
had a few moments' conference."
Again the telegraph operator with a
dispatch.
-I thought so," said Farquhar. "Mur
ray, the division superintendent, was
with ns in the Shenandoah and at Five
Forks. He wires that the train will be
here at five o'clock at the latest two
engines, twenty freight or cattle cars.
two baggage cars, four passenger day
cars and a'Pullman. It is eleven now.
If anvthing is wanted you'll find me
here."
Back again into the chill night air,
under the shining, starry vault, Berrien
and his four troop leaders paused for a
moment on the gravel walk.
"Hazlett, I snppose you will need to
see Mrs. Hazlett home, and you, Thorpe.
Better go and rouse voir sergeants first,
then come back to the hoproom; but,
mind you, not a word there. Rolfe, you
and Brewster are among the blessed to
night; you have no wives to break the
news to. I will give your subalterns the
tip to report to you just as soon as we
break ui."
Three hands went to the cap visor in
salute, three officers turned away. War
rep, the adjutant, came hurrying out.
Oh, major. Colonel Farquhar begs
that you wili step in a moment."
"'ou had somethjng to say, Brew
ster?" asked the major coldjj
Yes, sir, I I hojie to hurry back in
time to escort Miss Berrien home."
"Xo, don't trouble yourself. I'll at
tend to that. You have other matters
to occupy you." And if ever a fa
ther's tone signified that dismissal was
intended, and that further attentions
were forbidden, Berrien's did as he ab
ruptly turned, leaving Brewster stunned
and silent at the edge of the parade.
In ten minutes lights were dancing
like will-o'-the-wisjis about the galleries
of the men's quarters. Quick, bound
ing footsteps could be heard, and the
low, brief orders of the sergeants as they
went flitting from door to door. Then
half suppressed exclamations, an occa
sional smothered yell of excitement or
delight from some enthusiastic Paddy
ever ready for a frolic or a fight. Then
a gradually swelling murmur of voices,
the rapid scurry of booted feet, a clat
tering up and down the stairways, the
slamming and banging of barrack doors,
the dragging forth of heavy chests and
boxes, the clank of a dropped saber, and
then ieople at the hoproom, strolling out
on the broad veranda for fresh air or
flirtation, became aware of the unusual
illumination over across the parade, and
listening heard the sounds of. bustle and
preparation. And then lights began
to pop up among the windows of the
second battalion, where the news had
rapidly spread, and where dozens of
troopers tumbled out of their blankets
and into their boots forthwith and went
charging en masse upon their own ser
geants to know what it meant tliat
"them fellers in the first battalion had
had orders to be upond getting and none
had come for us."
In less time than it takes to tell it
the tidings spread from iorch to hall
that "something was up," ami other
people, men and women, old officers and
young, matrons and muids, quit their
places in the Lancers and came stream
ing forth upon the gallery. "What's
the matter?" "Is it fire? I heard no
alarm." "The trumpets haven't sound
ed." "See! there's the orderly trumpeter
going across the parade now, running
to the office." "Why, the office is
lighted too." "Where's Warren?"
"What does it mean?" These and doZr
ens of other verbal conjectures and sng
gestions flew from lip to lip. Men ex.
ensed themselves to their fair partners,
seized their caps, scurried away down
the steps and sped over toward the
lights at headquarters. A dozen or
more suddenly disappeared in this way,
antl then it was found that the colonel
and Berrien and Hazlett and Thorpe
and Brewster, too, were all missing. And
then Mrs. Thorjie's voice was heard
wailing out upon the night air:
"Oh, Mrs, Berrien! Mrs. Berrien! I
know wliat it means. 1 saw the tele
graph operator coming up the steps. It's
orders orders for the fieid."
And then indeed
There ru berrying to end fro
And athcrin tears, aud trvEublinBs of dis
tress. And cliwks nil pale mliich but an Lour airo
Bluekud U the praie of their own tuvclitieea.
And the dance was forgotten, and the
inusiciaus. astonished, found the lighted
hall rapidly emptying of the revelers,
and women pressed. iallid and tearful,
into the dressing room, gathering up
their wraps with hasty hand and hurry
ing forth to take the arm of husband or
lover, as though claiming that right to
the very last. And then in some way
the word went around, 4Ouly one battal
ion goes only Berrien's," and those
whose lords were attached to the other
plucked np heart and spirit for a mo
ment, aud in the midst of it all, -ae but
tearless, Mrs. Berrien stood waiting pa
tiently for Dick's return, and by her
6ide, even paler, but as brave and tear
less and patient, Winifred clung to her
mother's arm and would take no other.
Ridgeway, who hid scampered over to
the office among the dozen departed,
came panting back up the stairway.
"Is it true?" asked Mrs. Berrien.
"Yes; the first battalion goes at day
break. The major 6ays he will be over
in a few mjmeuts."
"Mrs. Berrien, permit me to escort
you home," said Major Keuyon, hasten
ing after Ridgeway up the st;dr. "I
Lave just seen Berrien; he lias to go to
the K'irracks a few minutes."
"Miss Winifred, may I have theideas
ure? Mr. Brewster is of course needed
with his troop, and mine does not go,"
said Ridgeway, proffering his arm. The
girl hesitated one moment, half clinging
to her mother's side, aud casting one
swift, appealing glance into her face,
"Yes, daughter, well go home at
once," was the low toned answer as Mm.
Benien took old Kenyon's arm, aud
with bowed head moved toward the
stairs, her escort eagerly, volubly ex
plainiug to her that he felt sure the ob
ject of the sudden move was merely to
overawe the Indians by a display of
force. "It :s cxactlv whi.t was done
hers witn eucn success a tew years ago,
Mrs. Berrien. The Ch?yennes were wild
for an outbreak, and Sheridan simply
called in trows from everywhere, and
when Hie Indians saw the great array of
cavalry and infantry they caved at once.
Never' had to fire a shot, madam. And
that's the proper way to handle this
matter. That's what this means. The
Sioux will be so disheartened they won't
Care resist even if orders are given to
disarm them God forgive me the lie!"
he muttered under his breath. "Of
rourse it's exasperating to think of the
Twelfth being sent 60 far away at such
a time, but better now, believe me, than
later, after those misguided wretches
had bad a chance to jump."
But Mrs. Berrien had lived, heaven
only knows how, through many a sim
ilar experience. She had seen time and
again her husband's command hurried
forth on the trail or across the path of
6avage foe. Never yet had they returned
unscathed, never yet without serious
loss of officers and men. She could only
bow her head the lower while her lip
moved in silent prayer. Just as they
reached the gate a tall form came spring
ing after them through the darkness,
and Brewster's voice was heard:
"I hurried back to the hoproom, Miss
Winifred, only to find you gone, I had
expected to escort you home. You have
heard the news? Y'ou know our orders
have come?" He glared at Ridgeway,
as much as to say, "Leave, man; you
are one too many, as you ought to see."
Put the junior lieutenant stoutly held
bis ground, nor did Winifred withdraw
her hand from bis arm.
"I have heard: ves. it seems very sud
den," was all she could or would say,
and the dark eyes were shrouded from
his longing gaze.
We'll bp off by daybreak, 1 fear. I
cannot hope to 6 you again before we
have to go," he went on desperately.
Won't you come in, Mr. Brewster?"
called Mrs. Berrien from the steps,
'you and Mr. Ridgeway can spare a
moment, pan you not? Oh, Dick, here
you are!" she cried, as with quick, ener
getic 6tep the major sprang across the
road and appeared under the dim light
of the garrison lamp, aud back to the
gato she sped to meet him and to twine
her arm in his,
"111 say good night, LvIhk." said Een
yon. "I'll call in in the morning to see
if I cau be of any service. Now I must
trot over nnd help Holden to pack."
And, unrestrained, be went.
"Brewster, Ridgeway, I won't ask you
in now. Yon have much to attend to
and but little time. Run in, Winifred,"
said the major. "I'll be with you at the
barracks in a few moments gentlemen."
Slowly but obediently Winifred step
ped forward.
"Good night, Mr. Ridgeway," she
murmured, holding out her little hand.
Thank you yery much."
Berrien stood impatiently at the gate,
as though to fcoe her safely through.
With trembling lips Brewster ispuka as
he sprang to her side,
"Goodby. Don't forget," was all he
could murmur as he seized her hand,
clinging to it one miserable moment
with both his own.
"Goodby," 6he said, in low, tremu
lous tone, but withdrawing her hand,
withholding her glance. The major
threw his arm about her and almost
thrust her through the gate,
"It is good night only, not goodby,
Mr. Brewster," said Mrs. Berrien, kind
ly forgetting her own misery for the
moment in the contemplation of the woe
in his face. Then they hurried within
doors, Winifred drooping before them,
and then the door closed and Brewster
and Ridgeway stood there confronting
each other under the light. For a mo
ment neither spoke.
"Have you lost your crossed sabers?"
said Brewster finally, noting that the
handsome cap badge of solid gold which
Ridgeway ordinarily wore upon the
front of his forage cap was now missing.
"No; I took it off to pin Miss Berrien's
wrap about her throat."
A moment more Brewster stood as
though he would ask another question,
then abruptly turned and plunged into
the darkness.
Meantime Major Kenyon had trudged
up the row toward Holden's quarters.
Already the lights were beginning to
gleam from the various houses around
the big quadrangle of the parade, where
a dozen of the cavalry officers were now
busily engaged in prejiaration for the
sudden move. Over at the hospital, too,
the lamps were being lighted in the
steward's room and the dispensary.
Holden's hall door stood wideopeu. The
hall itself was dark, but a lamp was
alight in the sitting room, and that door,
too, was wide open. A tall form passed
across the illumined space as Kenyon
drew near. He stopped for a moment
pt the gate, listening to the sound of
bustle, the whistling and singing of the
meh at the barracks. "Hardship, hun
ger, privation, suffering uhead of them,
even if they don't liave hard fighting,"
he muttered to himself. "In thirty-six
hours they'll be freezing, poor devils,
for not a man in the battalion lias a win
ter kit; and just har them langh and
sing, as though the world had no joy
like soldiering! God guard them and
these poor wives and sweethearts here.
Why isn't it my lot to go instead of Ber
rien's? Who the devil would shed a tear
for me':" lie shook himself together and
iramjied heavily into the gate and up
the steps.
"Doe!" he called at the doorway.
O'u. Doc!"
No answer. The house was silent.
"Oh, Holden! Where are you?" Still
po reply. "Odd," said Kenyon; "1
thought I saw him in here. Who could
that have been?" Wilh the confidence
of army intimacy he tramped through
the sitting room on the left of the hall,
then into the dining room beyond. No
one there. Then across the hall agaiu
and into Holden's own sleeping room at
the rear of the house. The kerosene
Limp was burning ou the dressing t ible.
The bed had been occupied. Evidently
Holden bad turned in early, ouly to be
routed out by the orders of the colonel.
The floor creaked somewhere overhead.
Then he was sure he hvard a quick,
liubt footfall on the stair. "Oh. Doc!
Here I am. It's Kenyon," he cried.
But no answer came. Once more re
turning to the hall, aud thence to the
sitting room, he found them empty as
before. The parlor door on the west
side was closed. Slowly, he strolled out
on the front piazza, just in time to catch
sight of a tall form in the dark circular
cape striding up to the gate. Surely
that was Holden. Then he. heard a
bail:
"Hello, Rolfe. That your
"Yes. You go with us, do you?"
"I do. Won't you come in?"
"Not just now; I've got to go to my
quarters a moment. 1 11 be in by and
by. Well have to make a night of it."
"All right. Kathleen will get us some
coffee after a while. Bring in some of
the others with you." Then the doctor
came bounding up the steps. "Hello,
Kenyon. You here? Well, you were
right after all, weren't you? I've just
been over to the hospital to see to the
field chests."
Weren't you in here just now?" asked
Kenyon.
"I? No! Not for ten minutes."
Well, some one was here np stain
and down, lioth. I called twice and got
no answer, but I saw a man and heard
the steps. Thought it was you."
"Rolfe, jicrhaps. He was in the road
just beyond our gate as I came back, but 1
I thought he had just come frcm his com
pany quarters.
"If it had been Rolfe he would have
answered, I should think," said Ken
yon. "Besides, the figure and the foot
stej were those of a much lighter
man."
"Queer!" said Holden, his thoughts in
stantly reverting to the event of the
week before. "Did you see him?"
I saw a figure ass across the light
streaming from the sitting room door.
Then I heard the step np stairs while I
stood in your room, and then very quick,
light steps on the stairs some one com
ing down like a streak, now that I think
of it"
"How long ago?"
"Not more than a minute before you
got here."
"By Jove, Tm going to look into this!"
said Holden quickly. "Of course.yon've
heard of the excitement we had here.
Bring that candle, will you? I'll take
the lamp." Up the stairs they went up
to the landing where Nita Guthrie had
her mysterious fright and falL The
door of the room she occupied was open.
All was darkness within. Holden, fol
lowed by Kenyon, entered, and they set
their lights upon a table. The side win
dow was shut and barred, the south win
dows as firmly closed. Everything
looked neat and undisturbed, but cold
and deserted. No sign of an intruder
for a moment to the eyes of either man.
Then of a sudden Holden made a spring
for the toilet table, seized a small silver
frame and stood glaring at it
"By Jove! look here!"
"What's the matter?" asked Kenyon.
"Don't you see?" was the answer, as
the doctor held the face of the frame
toward him, empty and gaping. "Nita
Guthrie's photograph was in this frame
and on that table just before the bop
began when I was up here, and where
is it now?"

A Cautions Man.
"It's a good thing to be cautious
wheu among strangers," said the
precise-looking man to a tall, angular
old fellow to whom he was talking on
the deck of a Hudson river steamboat
"Yes," was the response, "you ain't
moot always tell who you're talking to
when you dou't know, and strangers
tbrowu together 83 ye are migbly
likely to make mistakes if they don't
watch out"
"That's what I think about it," said
the precise one. "There are several
people around that I'd like to know
who they are, but I feel a deJuary in
asking."
"Who, for instance?" asked the tall
party, Jetting his eye wander about
the deck.
"Well, there's a lady standing there
by that door talking to a young fellow
who looks as if he might be her son."
"That far door?" inquired the fcill
party, stretching hU nefk around.
"Yes."
"I see three or four there."
"It's the one to the other side."
"She looks as if she might bite a nail
in two?"
"Yes."
"Got a jaw on her like a vise!"
"Yes."
"Keeps it going all the time, as if
there wasn't any such thing as an eight
hour labor law?"
"Yes."
"Got a liotmf-'t on that looks as if it
might he a sijru for a vegetable gard
ener?" "Yes."
"Got a complexion like a slab of tan
Urk?" "Yes."
"Look as if Vr temper would sour
milk just from the cow?"
"Yes."
"Got clothes on that look like they'd
been made out of last year's circus
posters?"
"Exactly. She's the one. Who is
she?"
The tall party got up to get a better
look jiefbre committing himself.
"She's a jay from Jay's Cross Roads,
ain't she?" he said with a laugh as he
sat down again.
"Yes. Whoistihc?"
"Oh, she's my wife. Let me take
you over aud introduce you."
But the cautious man declined aud
managed to lose himself in the crowd
as quickly as possible. Ach York Sun.

A Midnight Journey.
I never saw the domesticity and
maternal love of the feline species
better proved than in the case of an
old tortoise-shell cat, owned by my
Aunt Sallie. This old cat and her
three kittens were given to a grandson.
He took them home one night in a big
basket a distance of three miles by
road, or a mile and a quarter through
the "West Woods."
Early next morning my aunt stood
in the door looking curiously across
the road towards the wood.
"Well, I never!" she suddenly ex
claimed; "there's Pinkie coming
hone."
Through the woods covered wilh
dense underbrush, over ploughed fields
aud marshland, and at night, poor old
Pinkie had traveled home, bringing
her little family. We watched her
toiling wearily along the last few yards
of her journey . Each time she would
pick up the last kitten of the line,
carry it ahead of the first one a few
feet, and lay it carefully down in a sof

again. Now and then she would stop
and wash the kittens' faces with moth

Sir W. Fowler tells the story of Hux
ley's courtship. When the Battle
snake was in Sydney harhr, tho otll
eers were invited to a ball, and young
Huxley among the uumla-r. There
for tlie first time he met his future wife,
whose parents resided at Sydney. A
few days after they were engaged, and
the ship sailed for the Torres Strait!" to
complete the survey of the north coasts
of Australia, all communication being
cut off for months at a lime, and then
she returned direct to England.
After that brief acquaintance, not
longer than a fortnight, it was seven
years before the lovers saw one another.
At the end of this lima, on Huxley's
appointment to the School of Mines, he
was in a p-wition to claim his bride aud
welcome her to their first home iu St.
Johns's Wood. Huxley's love at first
sight, aud constancy during those sev
en long years of separation, were rich
ly rewarded, for it is impossible to
imagine a pir more thoroughly suited.

Since the publication of the story a
correspondent from York, IV, writes
concerning the accident, and refers to
a similar case, In which, through the
efforts of a clever Cincinnati lawyer
naiii' d G. C. Wallis, the person accused
! of murder and sentenced to be hanged
was -H-t at litierty, the circumstantial
evidence on which he was convicted
being entirely exploded by a witnessed
demonstration as to how the accident
really oceurred.

cousin .f a man of the name of Avery,

afternoon. The weapon which caused
the death was a small rifle, sending a
32-caiihrc lall through Ensley's brain.

but Eusley,
Avtry was arrested fir the crime, as
he wa the ouly living close relative to
Eusley, and by his death profited to
the amount of f rx),00Q. Avery was
tried, pleaded not guiliy, but was con
victed of murder in the first degree,
aud wiiteneed to be hanged. He ap
pwiled to the Supreme Court, and
eng-iircd Mr. Wallis to defend him.
The Supreme Court remanded the case
buck to the Circuit Court on technical
errors. Two misst rials were brought

2. Wheel the machine up any hill
the mounting of which ou the hill
causes any real effort.
3. See that the clothing around the
stomach, neck ami chest is loose.
4. Have the handle bar sufficiently
raised to prevent stooping.
5. 15e as sparing as jtossible of taking
fluids during a long rule. Rinsing the
mouth thoroughly, as well as gargling
with cold water, will quench the thlntt

C. Except the wind, roads, etc., 1'

miles an hour, except for very short
distances.
7. Never smoke while ruling.
Attention to these oiuts will tend

MANY KNOW HER,
Cut Tew Know How She Suffered
Fifteen Years With Mrs. James
Orr, of Greensburg. I
Fifteen years is a long lime to carry a
burden. Just think ot it ! year in and
year out for nearly a decade with a back
that aches, a weak bjek. a lame back, a
wire back, in fact, a "bad back" most all
the time. Some times the bu:lcn was al
most impossible to bear, aud now aud
then a d.iy it would lighten; a plaster ap
plied would bring relief until their strength
was gone, but a plastered back is not a
wirll back and the reason for this is Mtnple
indeed, l'lasttrs are pain relievers, but
not pain curcrs. Relief can be found for
a'.m -st any pain, but to cure it you must
reach the cause. Many a bad back bas
been relieved in days gone by and now
th?re are many more that have found how
the burden can be relieved for good. They
are learning the cause and how to reach
it. A Greensburg lady, Mrs. Jos. Orr, has
had a fifteen years' experience and in a
fortunate moment discovered how to do it,
Mrs. Orr resides at 53 W. Pittsbu'g street,
and such as doubt this statement, can
easily have it verified. Mrs. Orr says:
'For fifteen years I have known what it
is to have a backache. I hnve suffered
along, sometimes feeling much worse than
at others. Plasters helped me while tkeir
strength lasted. All last winter I suffered
great deal. I could not walk around at
all, but woidd have to go and lie dow n. 1
wts in this condition when my husband
went to Harry L. Greer's drug store and
got me a box of Doan's Kidney Pills,
which I commenced using and "felt im
provement after the first few doses. I
continued to improve until the back pains
left nte entirely, and I have not licen
troubled with them since. Doan's Kidney
Pills seemed to be itist what I wanted and
what my case called for. I gladly er.'iorse
them and recommend them to all sufiYrcrs
from a bad br.ck."

The Grain Crops.
The November report of the Federal
Department of Agriculture, which gives
the Indicated yield per acre of corn
and buckwheat, affords he necessary
data for the completion of a summary
of the grain harvest of the present
season in comparison with that of 1S94.
j The figures show the following results
for the two years :

The aggregate grain production is
thu wen to have hewn 1,001. 300,000
bushels in excess of that of last year,
and each bushel of increase is an a 1 li
tional rea.n why the general business
of the country should be letter during
the coming year than it was in the
twelve mouths following the harvest of
18U4. With the single exception of
301, there has been no year in the
history ot the country when the grain
production reached the enornrius ag
gregate recorded for the present year.
