SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY; NOVEMBER 23, 1898.
THE WEST WI5D AX D THE EOSE
The
Westwlad blew, where a Rosebud
grew,
'Man( Uie towers, there, one day.
The Westwlnd sought, so the floweret,
thounht.
To kiss ihera in bis play.
But the Rosebud knew that the West
wind, too.
Would kin her where she lay.
So, the Rosebud turned, while bar bluibca
burned,
And she drew ber bead away.
As a little, modes rosebud
'Mongst the leaflets seeks to bide ;
Whilst the Eephyr breathe upon bar
Caused the bud to turn aside ;
Sweet y, though, the wind is welcome,
Wltb Its wholesome breath of life;
And the rosebud, wltji lis fragrance,
Kills the wind with sweetness rile.
So, a maiden, oft with coyness.
From a love-kiss turns ber face;
Still, ber lover pressing gently.
Yields, at lust, with modest grace ;
And such a moment, fur that lover.
Is a moment fraught with blUs ;
While a lifelong thought of fragrance
Is the memory of that kiss.
New Orleans Times Democrat.
JEM'S MOTH EH
' The mail's a coming."
"Thar, ain't smoke, father, It's just a
clou'J."
"I think it's smoke," and both the
old people with faces pressed close to
the window peered wistfully si the
thin, gray film wavering tbove the
trees of the distant grove.
"It's moving this way, mother."
"Like enough the Lrecte Is in the
east."
"There !" they both exclaimed as the
faint sound of a whistle reached them.
Tbe rumble of the car wheels became
distinct, but still they stood watching
the sbiftiDg line of emok as it came
nearer. Neither moved until the loug
train rushed through the town, pausing
only a few rods from the window,
where they were watching. Then t"n
cle Matt turned away and sat down in
his old-fashioned fpliut rocker. IIi9
hands, bronzed and knotted with
weather and work, were daxped over
the head of his walking-stick. ,IIe
leaned forward, heavily resting his
head on bis hands.
"Aren't you goiu' for the mail, fa
ther r
"Tain't any use. I've been every day
for ten years, and never a word from
Jem yet"
"Bat it might come to-day, and I
couldn't stand it no wbj s to think may
be there was a letter there and we didn't
know it."
Uncle Matt rose slowly from his chair.
"Seems 'z:f I couldn't drag myself up
to the ptw-t-offlc? many more times.
This goiu and goin' every day, and
watchin' and watcbin' the letters pop
pin' iuto the boxes here aud there and
everywhere, and thinkin' every time
that the next one will fly into our box
and it will be from Jem but there,
mother, I'm goiu'. Meybe it will come
to day."
Aunt Betsey recked back and forth,
crying softly, while Uncle Matt, with
labored effort, moved around the room
getting ready fur his walk. He came
and stood beside her as he buttoned his
worn, faded coat snugly across his
chest, then he patted her silvery hair
with clumy sympathy, saying, "There
mother, there mother, I'm goin' now."
Aunt Betsey nodded and tried to smile
as be went out the door.
It was a saowy, tedious walk, but
Uncle Matt trudged bravely on, the
heroism of his wife's smile filling his
loving old heart, and urging forward
his aged, rheumatic limbs. Every one
in the village knew him knew the al
most tiopcless hope of bis daily pil
grimages to the office. The group of
idlers waiting to catch stray bits of gos
sip from those who were coming and
going, smiled sympathetically when
the postal clerk took a letter from the
box and waved it at tbe old man as he
entered the door.
For me?' he aked. "Is it for me?"
The clerk nodded. "I hope it's all
right," he ventured, noticing how tbe
letter shook ia the trembling hand thai
received it. But Uncle Matt could
make no reply, lie stumbled out into
the s'reet again, the precious letter
crushed ia bis intense, eager grasp.
He frgot all the heart-brvaking anxi
ety of those long years. He forgot that
Jem bad left home in a drunken-Jury,
without one word of farewell but sullen
curses. He forgot the bitter cruelty of
bis unbroken sileoce during the loug
years. He remembered only that be
was their sou, their bright, beautiful,
winning boy. As he neared home be
exulted in the the thought of the hap
piness he was taking to the boy's moth
er. He knew be should find befitting
before the little open stove trying to
kDit, She had long since stopped ask
iug if there w as any mail, and this
morning she did not even loot up as
be cr me in, lest he thould see her too
willing tears. He sat down by her and
put the letter in her lap. There was no
need to ask from whom it came. They
had no thought at first whether the
news was good or bad. It was enough
for the moment that Jem was alive,
that he bad written to them.
"You open it, mother," Uncle Matt
aid at last- Sue lifted it from her lap,
took hold cf one corner with thumb
and finger, but ber hands refused to do
ber biddiug.
"I can't, father. You open it."
He reached to take it, but all tbe sor
row and loneliness of those long years.
all the disappointed pride and ambi
tion, aud all the posxibilitiew aud hap
piness or misery concealed by the com
noon vellow envelope overwhelmed
him.
"No, mother, I can't," be faltered,
after a paus, "we'll take it to L!zy."
Lizy's home over on the next street
was In plain sight across the opeu
space. They weut across the field by
the footpath the children bad worn
through the snow. L'zy saw them com
ing, carrying tbe letter between them,
and opened the door as they turned in
to the yard.
You open it," Aunt Bet.sey naid, by
way of greeting, holding the letter to
ward ber sifter.
Lizy was a plump, comfortable wom
an, with much sense and little senti
ment. "Lost your glasses 7" she asked, run
ning ber scissors along tbe edgs.
" Wby ! It's from Jem ! Now you let
seic
ESTABLISHED 1827.
me act right down between you and I'll
read it out loud."
"Wait a minute, Lizy," Aunt Betey
pleaded, content at first to see the letter
uufolded in ber sister's hand. Lizy
talked in easy commonplaces until her
sister said :
"Now commence ; read every word."
"Dear Father and Mother" Aunt
Betsey put out a detainiag hand.
"Wait a minute, Lizy; read that over
again. You see he hasn't forgotten; he
says 'dear father and mother.' Now
go on."
And so -the letter was read with many
interruptions aud comments.
When once more they were at home,
sitting side by side before the fire, they
discuseed Jem's letter from beginning
to end, over and over, until both were
uodding in drowsy happiness. Aunt
Betsey was the firet to slart up.
"Do you know, father," she began,
with a little break in her voice, "I've
always blamed myself for Jem's goin'
away. He just bad common htore
stockings that winter. You mind. My
bauds were lume and I couldu' knit
him any. 'N I've thought sometimes
if he'd had on stockings that I knit
those boys couldn't have ltd him into
tbe saloons so easily, and all these
years of sorrow might hove been dif
ferent" "Don't, mother, dou't blame your
self. It was all because Jem was too
anxious lo please everybody." The old
man rambled on, fumbling for excuses
lor bis profligate son. "'Twasn't be
cause he was bad at heart He was too
iood-hearted. Wam't that it, mother?
lie couldn't offend any one."
Aunt Betsey nodded. "If I only
could send him some stockings that I
knit, may be they'd h-lp to keep bis
feet from the paths of destruction."
Uncle Matt brightened up. "Do,
mother ! Of course it would help him."
Then he stopped in dismay, for wife
was crying again. "What's wrong?
Haven't you the yarn ?"
She shook her bead, holding up the
the cylindrical strip she was workiog
on. "The last bit is iu these wrUters,
'u if I ravel them out tbere wouldn't
le more thau enough to begin a pair of
Blockings."
Uncle Matt's hand instinctively
sought bis pocket and searched hope
lessly for the money be knew was not
there. Then be went to the book-shelf
aud drew froiu behind the books the
well-worn pure. With a desponding
glance he replaced it "There ain't
anything we could sell?'' be suggested,
brightening.
"No, nothing. Everything has gone
long ago. The spinning wheels went
lirst, and then the old clock; every
thing has been sold but "
"Have you sold the f xt stove?"
Aunt Betsey Caught litf bri&tL. "it J
the only thing that's left of mother's."
"Is that so? I wouldn't have saidl
nything if I hal known that"
There was little sleep for the anxious
mother that night, but w ith the morn
ing her spirits rose. Afrer breakfast
she wrapped up the old-fashioned font
stove and put the package in her hus
band's bands. "You take that up to
Miss Deering. She said she'd give me
five dollars for it if I ever wanted to
sell it Then go up to the store and get
me some yarn ; they know what kind
buy. Go quick, before I change my
mind."
Uncle Matt made no remonstrance,
for he knew the mother rejoiced iu the
sacrifice she was making for her son.
The pang of parting with her treasured
relic would be forgotten long before the
stitches for the first stockiug were cast
ou the shining needles. Oh, the warmth
from that little old foot stove, and the
strength of the hardy pioneer lives it
had made comfortable must have been
woven into those 6turdy blue woolen
Lose! When they were finihed, the
mother spread them in a row on ber
bed, and with her face bowed on its
pitchwork cover, prayed Heaveu to
make them in some way instrumental
in saving ner dear sou. tnen, wuu a
letter full of sweet mother-love, she
sent them on their way.
Uncle Matt resumed his daily visits
to the cfflee. Gradually Jem's letter
was woru thin from much reading.
The folds cracked and the pieces were
held together by zigzag stitches. Many
nyxhts during that long, cold winter
Jem's letter waatucked uuder bis moth
er's pillow, while she looked forward
with loving certainty to the time when
uother should come. And one day in
the early spring the letter came.
I was coming house, mother, be
wrote. "I've been a long time on me
way. I had saved a little money, and
wanted ta bring it to yox It is only a
little bit, but I will seud U, for I can't
come now. They say I can't live, but
mother, I want you to know that
have not touched a drop of the stuff
that ruined me since I got your pack
age. I couldn't walk up to a bar with
stockings on that I knew you had wov
n so many prayerg into. Then, too.
your letter was in my pocket, and your
ove seemed more real to me than it
ver had when I was home."
Here the shaky, uncertain writing
broke off. The pen bad fallen from
Jem's exhausted hand. The nurse
wrote in explanation. Jem was in a
hospital in Chicago. He had saved a
little child from injury by a half-drunken
cart driver, but be himself bad been
knocked down. His Injuries were not
serious of themselves, but his very life
had been burned out by alcohol. H's
few weeks of abstinence was In hi fa
vor, but bis recovery wa doubtful.
Then she forgot that her patient was
aimply a "case" one of hundreds
and told with tender sympathy of the
manly heroism of Jem's conduct.
Aunt Betsey arose when they bad
finished reading the letter and put ou
her bonnet and shawl. There were du
tears and sighs now, but a resolute prep
aration for the ihevitable. "I'm goin'
uver to M'uw laering's" she said quiet
ly, and carried the letter with her. The
few crises in the Uvea of these humble
people had been met by the prompt ac
tion of the gntle, auhnr.M-.ive wife, and
Uncle Matt was mora taa content to
leave the matter In her bands. Nor
was he, greatly surprised when thy
found themselves on the Chicago ex
press traveling towards Jem. They
gave no thought to danger or fatigue or
to the possible failure to find him. He
was there ; they must e him.
These two old people, so innocent, so
genuine, so trustful, won the kindliest
services of the big, good-natured con
ductor. At another time the breakneck
speed at which the carriage in which
he placed them was driven, would have
made them faint with terror, but now
they only thought, in a dzed way, how
kind the driver was to hurry so for
them.
When the afternoon began to wane,
the nurse by Jem's bedside gave place
to a little woman in a rusty black dre?s.
She sat by him scarcely breathing un
til he stirred uneasily, then she put her
hand on his forehead. She stroked bis
cheek and patted it as she used to do
when he came in his little white "night
ie" to pay bis prayers by her knee.
Her touch seemed to turn back the
stained, blotted leaves of his life to the
pure pages of youth. He smileil, and
murmured, "Now I lay me down to
sleep," aud then, "No, mother, I have
not touched a drop since I got your
letter."
Toward midnight he roused, but with
the calm nes of oue to whom death has
drawn near, he showed no surprise at
seeing his loved ones near hiji. "Tell
the boys, mother, that I wasted my
life. Tell them" bis words were com
ing more slowly now as the ebbing tide
carried his soul out toward the dark
waters. -"Tell them I tried to stop
drinking, but I forgot to say 'Our Fa
ther."
There was an empty cot in that ward
in the morning. There was a little
procession that wound its way in mute
saduess through the noise of the city.
There were two sorrow-laden old people
who returned to their lonely home in
Brushvi.le.
Jem's life bad been a record of time
wasted, talents abused and honor tar
nished. But at the setting of the sun
of his life the golden glory of one hon
est effort and one deed of noble hero
ism shone through the clouds of wrong
doing that had darkened his day. Un

A Girl ia Bdj'i Clothes.
Not long ago a "likely lad" appear
ed at the Boyal Marine recruiting
office In Havelock street, Cardiff, aud
asked to be enrolled for service in the
British navy. He said he had worked
as an ordinary seaman on two British
ships; gave his name as David Mc-
Kiuley, and spoke of America as his
birthplace. Sergeant Guy asked David
jocularly if he were related to the
President of the United States. David
said "no ;" but added that he might
some day work bis own way up to the
Presidency. The Serjeant examined
David's teeth and then told him to
slip off bis coat and shirt so that the
thest measurement could be taken.
David replied : "I don't like to," and
exhibited shy tit ss. The Sergeant urged
the boy to bare bis chest, but David
could not be induced ti comply. Sub
sequently it m discovered that David
was in reality a M-year-old girl,
Amelia Yelia by name, and that she
bad run away fr m the home cf her
father, a Maltese seaman, living at
Newport. Her statement that he bad
served as a sailor on two British ships
has been substantiated. Her friends
say that her bead wai turned through
constant reading of books of travel
and adventure.

Pisced Her Money in Her Hat
This is from the Chicago Beeord :
Miss Belle Ostrander carried her money
in ber bat
The two robbers who held her up
Saturday night in ak ncly corner of
the stockyards searched her pockets
and turned down the tops of her shoes,
but found only some small change.
But pinned to the top of her hat on
the inside was $16 in bills.
Miss Ostrantler, a stenographer em
ployed at one of the stockyards' big
packing houses, was walking along
Exchange avenue when two men
sprung out of the shadows near the
sheep pavilion and grabbed her by the
arms.
"Let me go, I says I"
"Not till we get what money you
have."
"I have no money and unless you
release me I'll scream," said the vic
tim.
But the robbers did not believe her,
and while one held her hands the other
searched ber. As the second man be
gan to go through her pockets Miss
Ostrander screamed, whereupon the
other robber DroniDtlv clapped h:s
band over ber mouth, preventing furth
eroutcry. When the men bail taken
what money they could find they re
leased her, ran back into the sheep
alley and disappeared.

An Equine Drunkard-
A horse aldicted to the li-juor habit
is one of the strange sights of To
peka, Kansas. Tbe equine drunkard
is Dn, one of the large horses driven
to the patrol' wagon of the city Police
Department Dan acquired bis taste
for liquor several ytars ago. He be
came sick aod was about to die when
the veterinary surgeon In charge rec
ommended that a d)se of whisky las
given him. It braced the horse up.
The d.se was repeated at intervals, and
Din entirely recovered under the influ
ence of the stimulant When the whis
ky was first given to him it was with
great difficulty that he was made to
swallow it, but he gradually acquired
a taste for it, which grew into an insa
tiable appetite.
After Dan had recovered, the officers
at the City Hall gave him w hisky as a
joke, just to see him caper about the
lot It came to be a serious matter,
however, says the Kansas City World,
as drinking became a habit with him,
and he required whisky at regular in
terval. The frequent raids upon the
saloons at Topeka, at which a large
quantity of whisky was generally se
cured and confiscated, furnished abun
dant opportunity for the patrol driver
to indulge Dan's unusual appetite.
The Police Department changed
bands oo July 1, and ever since that
time Topeka baa been the scene of a
temperance crusade. The practice of
giving whUky to Dan was discontin
ued. He began losing flesh, got off his
feed, and finally became incapacitated
for duty on the patrol wagon. Those
who understood the habits of Dau said
the cause of his sickness was the loss of
his accustomed drinks of whisky.
In order to test the matter wtisky
has been given Dan at regular intervals
during the last three days. Ha drank
it greedily and soou begau showing
signs of recovery. He is now a sound
aud well horse, doing duty oc the
wagon. Those who have witnessed the
experiment say that Dun can take a
tumblerful of whisky aud drink it down
At gracefully as any man aud he does
nor require a chaser.
Science on the Farm.
At a recent dairy and poultry show
one of the most interesting exhibits
was a new appliance invented by a
veterinary surgeon for the humane
killing of poultry. The necessity of
killing animals for T.kkI Is not disput
ed even by the most ardent followers
of the S. P. C. A., and many an
amateur farmer has flinched at killing
the bride of th barnyard, so that an
attempt at painless execution will be
welcome by many. The apparatus is
trident shaped, the two outside legs be
ing wood, while the central one con
sists of a steel blada operated by a
wioden handle. The bird to be killed
is huug head downward against a walL
Next its neck U pianed by the wooden
prongs, the beak naturally opening,
the knife then being inserted just fr
enough to sever the spinal cord, with
o it lacerating the outer skin. Of course
instant painless death results. Another
merit of the device is that the appear
ance of the bird as offered for sale is
greatly enhanced, no cuts or blood
showing.
Another device in the same lineoffer-
el was placarded "a humane rabbit
trap." The claws of the machine were
so designed in form and covered with
rubber pads so as not to lacerate the
the animal when the trap was sprung.
At this same show a pu'.sator milk
ing maching attracted a great deal of
attention. This is worked by a va
cuum motor attached to the top of the
milk pail. It is adjustable and can be
moved from pail to pail, and two cows
can be milked at oue time. Teat cups
mide of rubber and aluminum are
essential features, the pulsator drawing
the milk by means of a sucking action
similar to that of the calf. By ar
ranging the pulsator near the udder
the introduction of foul sir iaU) the
milk is avoided- The power required
to operate such an apparatus is com
paratively small, but one attendant
can do the work of several working in
the old way.

"Wall paper sold by the yard" is the
announcement made by a certain deal
er, who certainly deserves to be ou the
high road to popularity. How many
people of moderate means have had
the bewildering experience of selecting
a paper which is marked very cheap
by the piece or roll, only to find a tre
mendous bill sent in for papering the
room. There is such confusion in the
use of the terms piece or roll, that
misunderstandings arise, and pater
familias opens his eyes when he sees
the tradesmen's accounts seut in for
papering a room with paper which ap
peared to be very cheap when price!,
But when tne fabric is sold by the
yard, and when it is distinctly under
stood beforehand what are to be the
charges for wall scraping and putting
on of new paper, there cannot be much
margin for unpleasant surprises. Ex
actitude in counting the cot is a great
factor iu domestic comfort, where the
income U limited and tbeie are many
demands u pen it.

"I was an eye-witnessi,'' said another
of the party, "of an occurrence that

he passed them a shower of gold aud
silver cfln dropped from his pocket, di
rectly at their feet, jiugling musically
on the asphalt Mr. Train walked right
along, paying no heed. The young
man sprang up and called Mr. Train's
attention to his loss, saying, 'ou ve
rocred a lot-of money, sir.' 'You're
ery much mistaken, young man,' Mr.
Train replied, and he walked rapidly
way.
"The young people were utterly
umbfounded, aud, after they had
gathered up the coins, seriously talked
of turning the money over to the po-
ice. Fearing that they would really
si so foolish I went to them and advis

who bad jut dropped it had a way of

he could well afford, as he possessed a

Frederick the Great one day, sitting
his study, rung the bell several
times, but nobody came in response to
his summons. At last, growing im
patient, he opened the door of his ante-
hamber, and discovered his page fast
asleep. The king, much annoyed, was
about to awaken him, when he discov
ered a written paper hanging out of the
boy's pocket Kings are not above
curiosity any more than ordinary mor
tals, and without scruple hU Majesty
softly drew out the paper without
a akeuing the sleeper and read it He

After be had real this, Frederick
went to his study and brought a rouleau
of ducats, which he slipped with the
letter into the pocket of the boy. Then,
closing the door of the antechamber,
be went back to bis desk and rung the
bell with such violence that he soou

There la a great difference between
dirt and filth ; good clean dirt is no ob
jection iu the poultry house ; iu fact, it
is a ooou to the ketq-er and produces
good results, lit it is tit o with tilth.
This U altogether a different thii.g.
Clean dirt is a first-class disinfectant
aud purifier, and so long as it is dry
and friable it is advantageous to have,
but filth i not only dead and etTt-tc,
buthasa power of destroying all that
comes within its action. The impurity
from this filth is disastrous to the health
of the fowls and they will soon become
diseased If the house is neglected.
Hence the importance of strict cleanli
ness at all times.
A. B. Howard says ia the KurslNew
Yorker that in raising strawberries to
assist in securing pollen iation, either
for fruit for consumption or for the
seed, swish an evergreen bu-.li back
aud forth, ju.st t-wching the plants
lightly, doing this every day while in
bloom. Tho most favorable time is at
midday beneath a clear sky, aud when
the plants are free from excess of
moisture. Avoid drenching tbe foli
age with water when the plants are in
bloom, if satisfactory pollenization is
desired.

The cheapest and best fertilizer Is
th-ttma 'eon the farm. The most of
the manure on our farm is led to young
clover. The clover is turned under fur
corn, and wheat follows. Tbe wheat
gets the munure indirectly through the
clover. The results are almost if aot
quite as satisfactory as a direct appli
cation. When we have fallow ground
for wheat the manure Is worked iuto
the soil by frequent harrowiugs. The
ground is broken early aud manure is
spread as soon as possible. Indiana

strength of the street sweepings. He
then cultivated it mixing it thorough

had gwd success, the lawn being of

spreading them broidcaht wherever he

Galloways are all hornless. The tes
timony among old breeders of Gallo
ways is that a p'lre-bred Galloway
never had any trace of horns or scurs,
says the New York Farmer. That
there have been horned cattle bred in
Galloway is well known for many
years, for some farmers in that section
bred horned cattle, both, beef and dairy
breed, and to outsiders this gave rise to
the story that part of the Galloway
cattle were horned and part polled, but
oral testimony banded down for many
years, and that of men who lived
among cattle, confirm the statement
that any trace of scurs was always
taken as an indication of impure blood.
None of the old native breed of pure
Galloways ever hud horns. Professor
I.ow, of Edinburgh, who carefully ex
amiued this matter, says : "Alisence
of horns has been for a long period a
distinctive characteristic of the race."
So fixed is this character that the pro
duce of a pure-bred Galloway bull with
any breed of horned cows should give
polled calves. No othtr breed of cattle
will equal the Galloway in this resptct
