FORTITUDE.
If the battle goes against you
And your foes upon you presa.
Do not yield your weapons to thotf
Give not voice to your dlstrea*.
Up attain and wage new battle;
I'p iigaln and strike fresh blow*;
You may yet tome off triumphant;
You may win the tight, who know?
Naught you'll gain by idle weeping;
Tears but add to your distress
11 tha wicked world has wTonged you.
At Its hands, then, seek redress.
Bring to your assistance courage,
And the fight ugaln begin.
Knowing industry and valor
In the end will surely win.

j Where Platonics <
| Were Strained 4
A STORY OF WRECKED J\ #
'T CANOERS ;
—-i.— —-!- —*•*
Their relations were purely platonic.
At least she prided herself on that fact.
When any one suggested to her the
possibility of an attachment more ten
der and affectionate, she poohpoohed
It with an emphasis Indicative of an
absolutely sure state of mind. She was
not like other girls, she said. Several
men liad found that out. They began
by being friendly. Hhe encouraged
thein perhaps In a certain liking that
she had for masculine companionship
which they not Infrequently misunder
stood. Then when the night and the
moon and the soft breezes stirred them
to declarations fraught with more than
passing interest she was forced to more
heroic utterances.
"Dear me," she would say, "I don't
see why a man and a woman can't go
011 being Just friends here In New
York. Bob never acted this way. Why,
we rowed and sailed and tramped to
gether summer in and summer out, and
he never thought of making a proposal.
Dear old Bob! 110 had more sense.
Brace up now. Be a man. Forget It,
and so will I, and we'll Just goon being
comrades."
Some of them tfot angry. Others ac
cepted it as a matter of course. There
is at least one Instance on record of a
chap who really tried a second time
and ended by responding to the usual
throw down with whistling a popular
air that begins, "Comrades, comrades,
ever since we were boys." Upon which
occasion she told him he was a dear to
take it that way, anil they have been
better friends ever since.
A few weeks ago she went to spend
the summer with friends in a little
hamlet up the Hudson. Thither also
Journeyed Bob. She is a strong, hand
some, athletic creature, fond of out
door sports. She begins her season's
swlnißiiiiff lung before the daring small
boy thinks the water has lost enough
of its chill. When she Is not golfing,
she Is in the tennis court. In the win
ter basket ball and long rainblea
through snowy woods serve to keep
her cheeks rosy and her eyes bright.
And the man who accompanies her on
such walks needs to be more than a
passably good pedestrian, for she will
soon tire him whose limbs tire not of
iron.
Bob Is not easily tired. His training
with the college boat crew came In
handy, too, now that the form of sport
took an aquatic turn. The long tramps
over the country roads were varied
with sailing, swimming and an occa
sional hour of paddling in Bob's beau
tiful new canoe. The last, in fact, was
rapidly becoming the favorite sport.
But now she avers that canoes, like
men, are mighty uncertain creatures.
It happened this way: They had
started out for an early morning pad
die—s<» "urly. In fact. that, the rest of
the household was still asleep. But the
air was crisp, and the sun rising behind
the Jersey hills made a picture long to |
be remembered. She Is quite sure that
fdie will remember It. He has no doubts
on the subject. She was sitting In the
bow of the canoe trailing her hands In
the still water and enjojlng It all so
inttch that It startled her when Bob's
aimless conversation took another turn.
He did not nay much, but It was all so
sudden, there was sueh a depth of ten
derness in the tone, and it was so lm
presslve that she gave a sudden start
That did the tri< k The chnoie turhed
turtle, und In an Instant they Were
both floundering In the Water.

shrieked with laughter, ills arms wer.
tiegtnuiiig to get very tired, and it sud
denly occurred to him that she alsu
might be fatigued.
"If you keep quiet a moment," h®
said, "I'll swim around to you and hold
you up. That will rest you."
"Pshaw! ltest yourself. I'm all
right."
He paid no attention to the Injunc
tion, and a few strokes brought him to
h«.-r side. The tide was running strong,
and they were drifting farther and
farther from the shore.
"Just place one hand < • l ■ if you
dare," she shouted, "and I'll n . , ■ i: o
canoe. Then see how quickly it'll be
out of sight." The threat was effective,
it was such a pretty canoe, and he had
no desire to lose It. So, commenting
on her stubbornness, he waddled back
and took hold of his end again.
Then a sound of oars was heard, and
soon two men in a boat were within a
few yards of them.
"Say, there," was Bob'B inquiry,
"what are you two trying to do'?"
"Hold on a little longer," came back
the answer. "We'll have you safe In a
minute."
"We're all right; don't trouble," said
the girl.
"Keep off'." shouted Bob. "If you
come any closer, you'll scratch the
paint on my canoe."
"What do you mean?" Inquired one.
"Do you mean to say that you care
more for the canoe than for—for"— He
hesitated.
"For me!" she Bhouted. "Yea, that's
It. For a woman's only a woman, and
a good canoe's a boat!"
After some parleying the boatmen
consented to be careful. With their as
sistance the canoe was righted, and
the friends made their way shoreward.
But the gossips in the small Hudson
river town have had good food for
much reflection, and the oldest datne
of them all admits that even she
doesn't understand It.
"Why, Jim tells me," she said, "that
when they got ashore she didn't show
the least concern for the man. Now,
the least you would have expected
would have been that she'd throw her
arms about him and say that she
would never leave him."
"And didn't she?"
"No. She Just kicked up a pebble,
wrung the water out of her skirt and
laughed fit to kill. Then she said, kind
of short, 'Thanks,' and went Into the
house."
"And did the man seem cut up?"
"No. He Just looked at his old canoe
sharplike and cussed. 'l'll have to
blow in a ten to get it In shape again,'
he said."—New York Times.
Kaisseaa and thr Impostor.
On one occasion ltousseuu composed
an opera, which was performed before
King Louis XV, and met with the
royal approval. The king sent for him,
and If ho had putin an appearance he
would probably have obtained a pen
sion. He was, however, of a retiring
disposition and could not bring himself
to face the court. To his friends he
gave as a reason his republican opin
ions, but his real reason was his shy
ness. Accordingly he fled from the
court and sought the privacy of a coun
try Inn. While he was there a man
came In who began telling the company
that he was the celebrated Kousseau
and proceeded to give an account of
the opera, which he said had been per
formed before the king with grtiat
success.
Most men In Rousseau's position
would have felt nothing but contempt
for the Impostor, but this eitraordinary
man felt only pity and shame. "I
trembled and blushed so," he tells u»
In his "Confessions," "for fear the mau
Should be found out that it might have
been thought th«» I »»« the Impostor."
He was afraid that somebody might
come In who knew him and expose thw
pretender. At last he could bear it no
longer and slipped out unobserved.
Very few people would treat an im
postor like that Westminster Review.

The Smugglers.
"That's the Lottery, " shouted ttie
reveuue officer with the telescope, "the
fastest SLuutillei" on the coast. W«'?«
got her becaliued!"
There was no time to be lost. The
ireeza might spring up at any moment
and the best vessel and the crew most
conversant with the coast, handiest In
bad weather and most reckless of con
sequences, remain free to renew a ct
u.r of fraud and violence. So the offi
cer in command ordered a couple of
l»o:u> to be manned at once and put off
to secure the prize.
But the Lotteries made up their
minds not to give up their valuable
cargo and fine craft without a struggle
and made all the usual preparations
against boarders.
As the attacking boats approached
Shots were exchanged, and they were
finally beaten off. Ambrose Bowden,
who pulled the bow oar of one of them,
was killed. Indeed the officer In com
mand would not have been justified in
{rersevering with the attack at the risk
of his men's lives, for the objuct he
had in view, that of suppressing the
Lottery, could now be attained without
further sacrifice. The crew were still
known, and, though it had been Im
possible to surprise them in an overt
act of smuggling, it would be a very
different matter now that they had the
brand of Cain upon their foreheads.
So it proved. When the affray was re
ported, the authorities determined te
make an example and issued orders to
arrest the vessel and all or any mem
bers of the crew wherever they might
be found.
And now commenced the punishment
of the smugglers, who led the lives of
hunted rats. Officers of Justice, with
soldiers to aid them, were perpetually
on their track. Dragoons scoured the
country prowling for them. They could
not visit their families without the
strictest precautions and had to move
about by night. In the daytime they
lay concealed in barns and grunaries,
where they constantly heard Inquiries
made about them.
Of course their only chance of escape
lay In the fact that the whole country
side was in their favor and against the
revenue people. There was not a farm
er, an Innkeeper, a shopman or & labor
er unwilling to do his best to aid and
conceal them. Still, at every game of
hide and seek the searcher wins In the
end. To lie in concealment beyond a
certain time is trying to the nerves.
One of the smugglers, named Tom*,
grew tired and allowed himself to be
arrested, when he turned king's evi
dence and pointed out Tom Potter as
the man who had fired the fatal shot.
You may imagine the storm of exe
cration which arose against the traitor,
especially when the dragoons managed
by a stratagem to elude the precautions
taken for the concealment of Potter,
who was at length arrested in his own
house and carried to London. The only
chance of saving him lay In getting the
one witness for the prosecution, Roger
Toms, out of the way. But this was
difficult, for Toms, knowing well that
his life was in danger, had taken ref
uge on board a revenue cutter, which
he never left However, certain Influ
ential and responsible persons whom
shs could trust sought his wife and pre
vailed upon her to use her Influence to
lure her husband away from the neigh
borhood of his protectors the first time
that he landed to see her.
Satisfied that no violence would be
offered him and anxious to save him
from the disgrace of his comrade's
blood, she censented and was the
means of his falling Into an ambush.
The word given, however, was faith
fully kept. No injury or nuaecessary
discomfort was Inflicted upon him, but
he wti spirited away to Guernsey, with
the Intention of sending blm to some
place where he would be out of the
way and unable to give evidence at the
time of the trial. But Toms was traced
by the government officers to Guernsey
and found ID the bold of a ship Just
sailing for America.
His evldenee on Potter's trial
amounted to this: That he. Tome, was
In the cabin of the Lottery durln| the
attfcd and that Potttr bad come down
ind ssM, "1 have dohe for one of
them."

ADULTERATED COFFEE, j
GROCER WHITE FOUND GUILTY
OF VIOLATING OHIO'S PURI
FOOD LAWS.

Solvuttttc Ii«»»rl»-Prfinc« •! Baa
terla.
Tgi edo, 0., Aug 3.—The jury in Judge
Meck's court in this city has found
James White, a local grocer, guilty of
selling adulterated coffee. The prose
cution was based 011 a package of Ar
buckles Ariosa coffee.
The State of Ohio, through the Pure
Food Commission, prosecuted White.
The case was on trial for nearly a
month and attracted national atten
tion.
The manufacturers of Ariosa coffee
conducted the defense for Grocer
White. The best attorneys in the
country were retained to defend him,
but, after a short consultation, a ver
dict of guilty was returned by the jury.
The State of Ohio considers this a big
victory. Pure Food Commissioner
Blackburn lias been waging a warfare
on spurious food articles and the de
partment lias been successful.
The complaint of the State of Ohio
was that Ariosa coffee was coated with
a substance which concealed defects in
the coffee and made it appear better
than it is. The State charged this
coating or glazing was a favorable me
dium for the propagation of bacteria.
Prof. G. A. Kirchmaier, of this city,
a well known chemist, was the princi
pal witness for the State. He had
made scientific examinations of sam
ples of Ariosa purchased from Grocer
White in the open market. He found
that each Ariosa berry contained an
average of 300 bacteria. Mr. Kirch
maier further testified that other cof
fees he examined contained few bacte
ria or none at all. He declared that
the glazed coffee was not a wholesome
food product.
Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati, cor
roborated the testimony of Prof. Kirch
maier. The State did not present fur
ther testimony.
The defense through the Arbuckles.
who prepared this glazed coffee, se
cured some of the most eminent chem
ists and scientists in the United States
to give testimony In their behalf. Prof.
11. W. Wiley, of the United States Ag
ricultural Department; Prof. Vaughn of j
Ann Arbor University; Profs. Blelle
and Webber, of the Ohio State Univer
sity, were called to defend Ariosa. Dr.
Wiley had made a careful examination
of the method of manufacturing Ario
sa. He told of the 19,000,000 eggs used
by the Arbuckles yearly in the prepara
tion of this glazing. On this point in
cross examination, the State's attorney j
deftly drew from him the information \
that these eggs might be kept in cold
storage by the Arbuckles for a year or
two at a time.
The experts who heard Dr. Wiley's
testimony were pleased to bo able to
"catch" so famous a chemist. The doc
tor at one point in his testimony ex
plained very clearly how it is that the
egg put into the coffee pot by the house
wife settles the coffee. He said that
the heat coagulates the egg, and as it
sinks to the bottom of the pot it carries
the fine particles of coffee with it, and
thus clarifies the drink. It is the act of
coagulation In the coffee pot that does
the work, later on in his cross exam
ination, he had to admit that when the
egg was put on Ariosa coffee at the
factory it became coagulated, and as
egg cannot be coagulated but once, that
the coating on coffee was practically no
value, as a "settler" when It reached
the coffee pot.
Prof. Wiley acknowledged that the
glazing might be a favorable medium
for the propagation of bacteria, al
though he would not testify positively
either way because he was not n bac
teriologist.
Prof. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, also a
witness for the Arbuckles, said he
found bacteria on Ariosa coffee.
Prof. Blelle, another witness for the
defense, found any number of lively
bacteria on Ariosa coffee he examined,
and he agreed that gib ted coffee surely
was a more favorable medium for the
propagation of bacteria than unglazed
coffee.

WHEN OUT OF A JOB.
All nature it iick from tbe heels to her iiair,
St« u all out of kelter anvJ out ot repair,
V\ hen a feller is out of * job.
Hain't DO juice in the earth or no salt in the le*.
Hain't no ginger in life in this land of the free,
And the universe ain't *i,*t it a cracked up to be
SV hen a teller id out of « job.
What's the good of blue skies and of blossomin
trees
When your boy has large patches on both of hi# >
knees
And a feller is out of a job.
Them patches, i say, look so big to your eye
That they shut out the landscape and cover the
sky,
That the sun can't shine through them the best it
can try,
When a feller is out of a job.
When s man has no part in the work of ths earth,
lie feels the whole blunderin mistake of his birth.
When a feller is out of a job.
He feels he has no share in the whole of the plsn,
That lie's got the mitten from nature's own han',
T\iat he's a rejected and left over man,
W hen a feller is out of a job.
Wot you've lost your holt with the rest of the
crowd.
And you feel like a dead man without any shroud,
When a feller is out of a job.
You are crawlin around, but you are out of the
game;
Yes, dead, with no tombstone to puff up your
name;
Tou may hustle shout, but you're dead just the
same
When a feller is out of a Job.
Every man that's a man want 9 to help push ths
\ world,
But he's left out behind, on the shelf he is curled,
When a feller is out of a job.
Hain't no juice in the earth and no salt in ths
sea,
j Hain't no ginger in life in the land of the free,
And the universe ain't what it's cracked up to be
When a feller is out of a job.

REUBEN'S DIPLOMACY.
H« Ma«L«r tt Bud 111 under, but KBSTV
How to Correct It.
There is plenty of diplomacy shown in
the everyday affairs ot life. This farmer
lives near enough to this city to sell in the
Detroit market and bring his stuff in by
the dirt road route, lie is a widower,
and near him lives a widow, the man
about her house being a stalwart nephew.
Just before the holidays the widower
induced I lie nephew to bring the widow
over for supper. The visitors went early,
as per arrangement between the men, BO
that the widow had a chance to see the
Vig*. the cows, the i-lit-cp, ihe turkeys, the
thickens, the well tilled barns, granaries
ind cellar, to say nothing of the big or
hards that tianked the house or the ag
ieultural implements stored in the sheds,
lie fat horses, the wagons and the com
fortable carriage.
While the impression was fresh and
warm, the nephew disappeared, another
compliance with the agreement, and the
widower made the conversational run
ning.
"Ann," he said, "I and you was boys
and girls together. I uster haul you to
school, give you apples and fi't yer battles
fur you. When you and Sam took a shine
to each other, and 1 jest naterally drop
ped out and married Jane, some of it bein
spite and some geneiue love. We'se both
lost our pardners, Ann, our farms jine,
and we would be a p'irty rich couple ef
we added our persessions together. Now
we're both old, Ann"— But right there
was where he missed his cue.
'"See here, Keuben," she snapped, "you
kin speak fur yerself. You may be as old
as Methusalum, and you look it, too, but
you shan't go round the country tellin
'bout me bein old, fur I'm jest as hale
and hearty as I ever was, and I'd have
you recolleck that. And 1 didn't come
over here ou an invertation to be courted
or insulted." And she put ou her things
as she left.
But at the very nest sociable Reuben
let drop numerous remarks about how
"young and piert Ann Jackson was
a-lookin," what a "remarkable perserved
woman" she was and how there was none
of the married women that "teched" her.
Of course she heard, Keuben began call
ing on her, and the line fence will be re
moved in the spring.—Detroit Free Press.
