Consumptive
Did you ever sec one?
Did you ever hear of one ?
Most certainly not. Con
sumption is a disease that
invariably causes loss of
flesh.
If you are light in weight,
even if your cough is only
a slight one, you should
certainly take
Scoffs Emuslien
of cod liver cil tviih hypo
phosphites. No remedy
is such a perfect prevent
ive to consumption. Just
the moment your throat
begins to weaken and you
find you are losing flesh,
you should begin to take it.
And no other remedy
has cured so many cases
of consumption. Unless
you are far advanced with
this disease, Scott's Emul
sion will hold every in
ducement to you for a
perfect cure.

IF.
If ail wto htu would love us.
And all our lore, were true.
The I tars that swing above ua
Would brighten In Ure blue ;
If cruel word Were ktunea.
And every aeowt a ninlle,
A better world than thU Is
Would hardly be worth while ;
It parae would nntlghlen
To meet a broUier'i need.
The Uwd we bear would lighten
Above the grave of greed.
If theme who whine would whtatle.
And tbow w bo languish laugh.
The roae would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff;
If heart were only Jolly,
If grieving were forgot.
And tear aud melancholy
Were tblnga that now are not
Then love would kneel to duty.
And all tb? world would oeeru
A bridal power of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
If men would Ceae to worry.
And women cease to algh
A nd all be glad to bnry
Whatever has to die
If neighbor Bpake to neighbor,
A love demand of all.
The rust would eat the aaber.
The ipear stay ou the wail ;
Then evry day would glisten.
And every eye would shine,
Aud God would pause to listen.
And life would be divine.
A COUPLE 0' CAPTAINS.
"Jiuiny Christmas," groaned Tom,
"how my arm ache. !"
'toa't think o your arm," said
Gene, twisting in bio blaukeU. "I'd
take your wound for the prospect of
promotion that hangs over your head."
' Be quiet," raid Tom, and he sighed
heavily.
The tars were burning like eoalo of
fire in the blue above them, aud all
about the wind were breathiug in tlie
sage-brush. Tlio two boys had beeu iu
battle that day a hot fight with the
Sioux and Tom labored and larrujied
a wily warrior single-bant!. J and alone
under the very nvse of the Colonel, and
for that re!on and not because he had
received a slight, though painful wound
in his arm, his comrade (Jeue argued
that promotion would come to Tom.
It did come, and still another, and iu
less than a month's time he waa a cap
tain. Gene was a big, brave, strong youth,
and it wm Dot long until he, too, be
gan to ttike on murk.rs at the tops cf
his shoulders. Without any of that in
visible something commonly called
"pull," both boys fought themselves
up so that at the end of five years'
Strife with the isioux they were cap
tains of cavalry. It was all very ex
citing; even thrilling at times. liut
the war ended one line day, as wars
w ill, and the two captains found them- j
stives without employment, and, one j
of them at let, without tangible
means of support. The disbanding of
the arrry had thrown some tbousauds
of men suddeuly upon a country in
which all the good j ibs seemed to be
Ailed.
"We must do something," said Tom,
"Yes," as-aented his friend ; "we'll
have to get married or .o work soon- J
er or later, I suppose-"
"I wish we could get into something
together." I
"Like enough if we did get in togeth
er, they'd put us in separate cells,"
said Gene. lie had money not much, ;
perhaps, but money and parents well- !
to-do, and could a!Ttd to j ke. But it
was a serious matter w ith Tom. He
was as poor as a Greek and as proud aa
a Spaniard. One day he hailed Gene
with a happy shout, and announced
that be had a job for both, where they
could work together by day and bunk
together at night.
"So it's work, is it?" asked Gene,
looking his friend ovtr.
"Well, yes. You were not expecting
a job stopping balls in a tennis court,
were you?"
"Not exactly ; but I thought we were
going Into some sort of busiuess
together."
"Th's Is business good business,
and you wind it up with a brake-chain
every time the whistle blows."
"What is it?"
"Braking on the Burlington."
"W-h-a-t?"
"Braking on the Burlington."
Gene smiled.
The Burlington had just been open
ed as far as Omaha, and Ottum wa was
only a small settlement. Iowa was
right out on the raw edge of the wild,
wild WVst. The Indians were wree
in stations and robbing freight cars,
and a flagman three cars from the ca
boose couldn't call his skin his own.
"Passenger train, I presume?" said
Gene, breaking the bush.
"Freight"
"What?"
"Freight."
"Say, Tom, you're crazy. What do
you want to throw yourself away on a
box'carfor? "It won't do uot for me
Its preposterous V
"It beata walking."
"Ferhaps, but we h.vent had to
walk yet. Think of it i Society col
umn of the Chicago Tribuae "Ciptain
Saiith and Captain Jones are braking
oa a freight out of Ottumwa.' Come.
Tom, I'm not broke yet; besides, yon
are too youug and handsome to be
kl'el."
"Then you won't go?"
"No," said Gene, and he began to
ein,?:
ron't yon g Tommy, don't you ;
Stay away. Tommy, don't go."
"Well, I've always feared it would
come to this sooner or later," taid
T m. He held out bis hand, and Gene
tos-kit
"I lore you. Tommy," aaid he, "but
I can't join you iu a blue jumper and
gt skating with you over the icy tops
cf rolling boixra" .
"Good-by,"'aK Tom.
G jod by Pib4 t Ed to you, cap
tain my captain !"
"Toe same to you," called Tom, and
hisf iend aatubed him wander as ay
down among the cars in the newly
railed freight yards.
'
"Ticket," called the cor.due.tor.
The citn was r.-ading.
"Ticket," aud he touched the man'
ahiul ler, and the man looked up.
"Why beHo, Tom. What you

When,the conductor had worked the
train, he came back to the passenger
w ith the book.
"Say, Gene," said the ticket-taker,
"I was so elated over this unexpected
pleasure that I forgot to got your ticket.
Yoj ought to be Ashamed to make me
ask the third time for it."
"Well, you can keep right on, for
I've got no ticket, I had barely time
to throw myself aboard as the train
pulled out"
"Well, you've got money; haven't
you? 'Cause if you haven't, I know
where you can borrow."
Gene smiled and gve up, and then
the two ex-captains of rivalry sat and
talked of the old days, when there
were no railroads there.
"Well. Tom, you've made a great
success of this railmai business aud
I'm proud of you," said Gene, glanc
ing at the bright blue uniform the Cap
tain wore.
Tomrrxiiled. "What are you driving
a?, Gene?"
"lteadin' law."
"Well," said Tom, "I guess that'll
beat brakin' on freight"
And so the two men talked to the
end of the run, the conductor dropped
off, and the law student went on to
ChicagKx
- t
In the jam and crowd about the
gates of the Burlington station at Chi
cago men often bump up against old
comrades unexpectedly, and so it feU
out that as Gene was sweeping through
a narrow gate he ran bang into a man.
"Hello Gene," said the man, "wait a
moment"
Gene waited impatiently for five min
utes, it seemed to him. He was glad
enough to meet an old friend, but the
diagram had gone to the sleeping-car
conductor, and Geue w anted to secure
a plpce. Finally, as the train wasabout
to pull .ut in fact, the time was up by
the big clock on the wall the waiting
traveler was gladdened by the re-appearance
of tha busy man.
"What's the matter with you, Tom?
Do you want me to get left?"
Tom smiled. "My dear Gene, don't
you know this train would not pull out
wijhout you !'
"That's all very funny," Gene r pli
ed, "but I've got no plat-e to sleep.".
"Well, you won't sleep much to
night, for you are going to sit up and
visit w ith me."
By this time Tom had been met ly a
smart black porter, who, at a faint tig
ual from the master, took the hand bag
gage from the over anxious traveler and
ran up the rear steps of the rearmost
car.
"Is this my ear?" asked Gepe, stop
ping ami glancing alo'jg the platform.
"Xo, it's mine: but jrvi i-an ride.
Come, hand yourself aboard ; I shan't
make you put up this trip."
The train conductor, ever alert, saw
the two men enter the car, lifted his
white light, and the big engine breath
ed softly, and moved out of the station
fehed.
Gene, following the trail of the black
boy, t-tood upon tlie platform of a car
that seemed to be all plnte-glass, and
stepped hesitatingly into a luxurious
drawingnioru.
"Now what's ail this fol Jerol, Tom ?"
asked Ciene, for he had been abroad
and had lost track of his old "pal" of
the plaiu i
Tom was a modest man, and so told
his friend in a modest way that hs was
the General Mauager and that this wa?
the private car that the company had
given over fur hU comfort and conve
nience. We may suppow it was a pleas
ant eveuiug that the two captains pass
ed as the train carried them away to
the West
A few years later Tom left tlie Eur-
lington and went over to take charge of
the Union Pacific. He had an agree
ment that gave him a fabulous salary,
and the written promise of the owners
of the property that the road should be
run by him from Omaha and not by
any one else, and, above all, that he
should not le compeUed to take signals
from the seaboard, given by men who
were in the habit of putting a day coach
in the shops to have the stove changed
to "the front end," instead of turning
the car on the la lie, or running it
round a "Y."
Tnis good and useful man had teen
at his new post but one thcrt year when
he was called in by the Great Manager
of the Universe, and when the news of
his death went over the wire it made
heavy the hearts of tbousauds of rail
way employes all over this Contiuent,
for he w as, w ithout question, oneof the
most humane managers that has ever
lived.
All night long, from North to Smth,
front Hist to West, as the conducts
swung down from a coach or a w ay car
the operator would meet him and say
in a low tone, "Tom Potter's dead." In
most cases the conductor would make
no reply, but when be handed the or
der up to the engineer he would say, as
the operator had said lo him, "Tom
rotter's dead."
"No !" the engineman would say,
turning to watch the conductor, who
was already taking his way sadly back
to the caboose to break the sad news to
the brakemen.
"What's that?" asks the fireman.
"Tom Potter's dead." And tLen the
engineer would open the throttle slow
ly, and if she slipped, he gave her sand
and humored her, and didn't swear.
The other capta'o, who has also made
a name and a place for himself, is still
with us. He is the ".split-trick" in the
prosperous law firm of Gieed, Ware,
and Gleed, of Topeka, Kan. He is the

COULD HAVE RESISTED LONG.
Washi.vutox, Nov. Z). The bureau
of naval intelligence to-day issned
another of its war series, this time the
"Battles and Capitulation of Santiago
de Cuba, by Lieutenant Joe Mullery
Tejelro, the second in command of the
naval forces of the province of Santiago
de Cuba." Captain Clover, chief of
the Intelligence bureau, explains in an
introductory note that the writer was
an eye-witness of most of the events
that he describes, and had access to
oSlcial information.
The style is peetliarly interesting,
free from bias, and has an air of au
thenticity. The author began to keep
an exact diary of events at Santiago
from the moment of the appearance
there of Cervera's fleet
The publication begins with a chap
ter on "The Two Fleets," telling of the
arrival of Cervera's May ID, and of the
disappointment of the people, who ex
pected no less than eight ships, instead
of live. He makes a comparison accu
rately of the vessels of the two squad
rons. The lieutenant m?n.i,ind that pro
visions were short, also that the milita
ry element of the province were nine
or ten monthain arrears in the pay
ment of consignments, aud had been
living on credit for some time. Every
thing was lacking; f.xd, money, credit
and purchasing resources wereexhaust
ed. What happened at Santiago was
true of the other plaevs iu the idauds.
The merchants hid whatever they had
and raised prices.
WHY THK KI.KKT STAYKD IX.
Hespeaktof t'je dillieultiea of oal
ing, and shows that th-i fl.et waibtl
ly supplied. Concerning the opinions
as to way the fleet did not go out, he
refers to tin great joy caused by its ar
rival, and then says that the ships in
the harbor were compelling the enemy
to eu-tiain with fuperior forces the
blockade with all it - difficulties and
dangers. It was not believed that the
American ships would expoee them
selves to seriom disaster or would f rc
any one of the p-rts which wer b -inj
blockaded. The Spanish ships did not
have t give iattle in order to obtain
resulU, and ho says that if provisions
had not been wautiug in Santiago aud
th? Spanish fleet had remained there
no on could tell to what extremes im
patience and depa:r might n t have
carried Admiral Sampson.
A diary of the blockade is given.
The movement of thj American ships
wasa(:n.z!e to the Spaniards as they
did not knif why they remained on
watch a'l day and disappeared at night
But it WASt-up?osedt;iatthi mericns
were afraid of the destroyers. Speak
ing of the Merrimc, he says: "Wa i',

tiiniug definitely tang it U proba
bly knowa in Spiin from Anerican
newspapers that are in th-i habit of
publishing everything what was the
real ohject that the Merrimac had in
view."
SH ARED BY TIIK ARMY.
Thearriva'of the army created con-.
sternttioo in Santiago and speculation
as .o wh-re the army would land. Pro
visions were still running short, aud it
is stated that if El Caney and San Juan
had not bxu taken the Spaniards would
not have lost co nm iaictin with th
cultivated region, nor would the aque

iTheJe)olnes3 and courage of Admin 1
Cervera is noted. The fire of the Span
ish ships was aaid to have been flow,
while that of the American ships was
ery brisk. In discussing the disaster,
he says t'tat the loss of the fleet bad
been foretold by all its commanders.
The fleet received d flaita orJri tcrjx

remonstrances.

He then take op the narrative of
the conditiojs ia the city, aud what
was done from July 4 until the sur
render, whic'i includes the bombird-
ruenU. At the ti.ua of the surrender
there were 2, 100 sick and wound. d sol

losses iu all the attacks on Santiago
are given as follows: O .'fleers killed,
l'J ; men killed. l'J" jotSeers wounded,
oJ; men w.unlel, . xi ; prisoners and
missing, otlicers and 116 men.
He closes the account ot the naval
battle of Santiago, saying: "I bate
never been able to understand the rea
son why there was sent to tha Stand
'J.
of Cub a fleet that was in no manner
able to cope with that of the United
States. The only way of gaining any
advantage would have been to scud a
few ships of great speed more or lens
well-armed, to the commercial ports of
the Culled States and bonibard.them.
It is probable that public opinion
would have exacted the return of the
American ships."
Heat Winds This Clock-
Mr. Burton, of Indianapolis, has a
clock which has uot "been wound in
three yeara aud six ui ti'.U, but which
has run all the time. It is wound by a
more reliable source than anything hu
man. It may be aaid to ba wound by
the solar system. In this invention
the axiom of beat expanding and old
contracting is the basis. The clock ii
wound by changes in th temperature,
the prinripal forces being ia the day
and night differences. Mr. Burton
found that there is an average difference
of twenty degrees in the te np.Tature
of the night and the day. The day, of
course, is the warmer. The heat of the
day expands the atmosphere, and the
lower temperature of the night con
tracts it. Tuisishow Mr. B irton ap
plies the force to his clock an ordina
ry old-atyle clock using a weight :
Outside of hia houe he has a tin tank
ten feet high and nine inches in di
ameter. It is airtight From it a tube
runs into the cellar. Tuis tube leads
to a cylindrical reservoir, which re
ceive the air from the tank. In this
reservoir there la a piston, whose rod
moves with a ratchet between the chain
on which the piston depends. Th
heat of the sun expands the atmosphere
iu the extei ior tank, thus forcing any
excess into the reservoir near the clock.
During expansion the piston rises.
In the night time the contraction of
the air in the exterior tank reduces the
air in the reservoir, aad the piston low
ers itself. The ratchet arrangement
winds the clock. Indianapolis Jour
nal. House Dust-
Were dust alone the cause of all un
cleanliness it might be fought with
comparative ease, but ia our houses are
many vapors the products of heating,
lighting and cooking. These, if not
quickly carried out of the hou- by suf
ficient ventilation, spread throughout
it and condense upnn all surfaces, car
rying w ith them the dust iu the air, or
holding firmly the dust already settled.
This film of greasy, smoky, or other
vapor, combined w ith dust, forms the
cloudiness upon hard, smooth or pl
isiied surfaces and the often odorous
soil, visible or ctherw is", on fabric.
Sweeping is a process for the removal
of coarse dirt, not for dust, except that
w hich cliugs to the dirt particles. Thus
a broom used upon a carpet removes
some dust, but because a quantity of
the nap is taken olT to which the dust
clings, sweeping is a dust-preading,
more than a dust removing process.
Dusting should result iu the removal
of dust from the house, not in stirring
it up from ooe place to settle elsewhere.
The feather duster will sweep, but can
not dust Dust should be w iped up and
carried away on a cloth, cot spread
about or shaken again iuto the air.
Less sweepiug and more proper dust
ing w ill result in greater cleanliness.
The carpet which Is often wiped w ith
a dry or slightly dampened cloth is
freed from dust without the sacrifice of
its soft nap, and the dust is not drien
by the broom among the fibers or
through the meshes to the fl,xr be
neath, to be raised at' tiu into the room
by every footfalL When the dust col
lected by sweeping has been bun ed
and the cl-ths laden with the wiped
up dust have been washed in hotsospy
water and dried, wheu possible, out of
d,wr in the sunshine, the housewife
may rest Assured she has vanquished
two detachmecU of the dust enemy's
forces.
How to Clean a Sew Churn.
Never should a churn be employed
for making butter until it has been
soaked several days. Furthermore, if
it is .perfectly tight when the soaking
occurs, the bolts ought to be loosened
more or less, so as to prevent it from
warping and getting out of shape, says
the Ohio Farmer. Some manufactu
rers stencil this instruction right on the
churn. IVspite this, however, macy
are the butter-makers who neglect the
precaution. What are the results? Gen
erally the butter is uot good, it having
fur the first few c'uurtings a decidedly
woody taste.
Many are the ways recommended for
soaking a new churn, but far will one
goto find anything that equals water
for absorbing most flavors, and especial
ly if it ia ued in the fellow ing manner:
Have it clear and cold for the first twenty-four
hours, but chauge it two or
three limes; next churn for an hour
with a solution if some weak alkali
( powdered lye or lime), then rinse with
boiling-hot water, and if convenient
soak for twen'y-four hours longer with
clean flavored buttermilk, or sour skim
med milk, repeating this should it seem
necessary. This process over, wash the
churn as usual that is, by first rinsing
it w ith cold water, then churning for
ten ruibu'es with that which is boiling
hot, and if steam is available, steaming
the imp'ement sufficiently to make it
warm enough to dry Itself. Thus it ia
that almost any new churn may be ren
dered absolutely clean and sweet

available ciliA.'us to till the various cili
ces required by the statutes, without

Su-i.
Of late 'Squire Smith and his neigh
bor, Horace Van Auken, have suJfeird
the loss of cattle from the bears which
have their haunts in the wild recesses
of Porter. The former had a yearlit ir
bull torn to pieces, aud his best bell '
cow mysteriously disappeared lately, I
while Van Auken's l-)ss consisted of
two heifers. Last week Mr. Rudolph j
S-choouover, an Inveterate hunter of j
Bushkili, Pa, made his annual trip to
Porter township to hunt bees, stopping
with his old friend, 'Squire Smith, and
taking the latter' young son, Adam,
along with him a a companion. After
hunting a couple of days they succeed
ed in lining up only three or four bee
trees, which proved to be poor. Schoon
over went home on Saturday. Before
going he told the 'Squire there was a
dead animal near the old clearing,
where they bad a bee staud. I
The 'Spuire concluded the animal was
bis lost cow, so he started to investi
gate. Taking his son Adam along to J
point out wnere oeanu scuoonover uau ;
their bee stand, he soon came upon the
diad animal. It proved to be a strange
Jersey heifer. It lay in a pool of dried
blood on the bank of tbe creek, and
had been dragged sixty feet from where
it lay by some wild animal. Its neck
and throat were nearly eaten out All
around were bear sigDs.
The 'Squire made up his mind this
was the same lear which hail killed his
bull and perhaps his cow, and he res
olved on a bear hunt. About sundown
he and bis son A' lam started with gut s
to go down to the old mill clearing to '
watch for the bvar, as Henry Miller, a
neighbor, said bruin would no doubt
come back again. The clearing was a
good mile away. Wheu they came
near the place where the little brother
of Adam was bitten to death by a rat
tlesuake last year, the 'Squire stopped
to take sorrowful look at the place.
Creeping up to the edge of the clearing
by the trees and peering cautiously
through, Adam saw a black object and
asktd bis father if he might shoot
"No," whisjie red the 'Squire. "Come
along a little where I can see through
the trees."
After moving a little Adam said l e
saw the bear plainly, and the old man
told hloi wheu he raised his ri!e it was
the signal for his son to shoot Just
then the bear, alarmed, took a couple
of steps away from the dead heifer and
stepped Into a li tle open spot between
the trees. Instatit'y there were two
sharp, ringing reports echoing on the
still night air, and bruin fell dead in
his tracks.
"He's down ! Shall I shoot again?"
said the LuL
' Give him your ounce ball now if you
can see," and another loud report ratig
out
The 'Squire began to climb down to
ward tbe dead beast, but Adam cried
out :
"Oh, pap! dou't go down there till
you load agiin. He might come to."
But the i-M man was out of ammuni
tion, and the two crept down the bank
atid felt of the bear to find whre be
was hit It was too dark to vkia the
lx, so they left thecarttws until morn
ing. Ou Sunday they brought the bear
home w itii tbe oxen, and on gTing back
to the creek they found another dead
heifer which had just been killed by
another bear. Both the heifers belong
ed to Horace Van Auken. The 'Squire
and Adam have a fine bear skin, and
there is one hungry beef-killing bear
less, shot by guess by th s light of the
moon.

of the point of interest appeared to be

"Ou the right is the Lion's Mouth !"
"Why is it called the Lion's Mouth ?"
