Ancfcnt Oak.
Among the interesting relics of Bish
op Ilendrix's life in China is a pietunj
frame made of oak dug from beneath
the foundations of the Chinese wall,
where it is supposed to have lain since
the year 214 13. C. Seward Tabor,
who carved the frame, found the wood
almost black and nearly as hard aa
Iron. Not only is the frame an object
of interest; the picture it surrounds is
a novelty—a handsome photograph ot
Viceroy Li Hung Chang, with that
distinguished statesman's autograph in
native characters a down the border.
The photograph was a present to the
bishop from the viceroy. The frame
was obtained in the rough from some
British contractors who were blast
ing out piling under a section of tho
wall, preparatory to repairs of tho
mason IT.

Across their lives men heedless go,
Like thieves o'er freshly fallen snow.
Who think—if e'er they think at all—
That through the night much more will fall
To cover up their footprints; so
With booty laden home they go.
But far away from sound or sight
The Power to whom the dark is light
Bids Nature send detectives forth—
The swift, cold bloodhounds of tho North,
To freeze their footprints in the snow
And tell the world which way they go.

MISS DELY'S TIYO TYRANTS.
§ 133 DELY was
ay jl > down at tlieepring-
It was an area of
I / I so " tur * a ew
\\l If/iff I yards square, worn
tiy footpaths, lying
&\ \/a _ E in a basin between
a"#. C_J tw ° hillg - The
O F l )ranc k ran
war' t | through it, and
kept the grass
sgreen and tender,
and tho spring, which bubb'od cold
and delicious at tho foot of a giant
plauetree, contributed its largess to
this end. A little square of wet earth
just below tho spring was almost con
stantly marked by hoofprints.
An expert rider, swinging downward
from his seat, could easily grasp the
long-handled gourd that bung from
tho trco's brown hole and rofresh him
self and his horse at the samo time.
Dcly had spread the long breadths
of cotton sheeting, which had just
como from her loom, on the grass to
bleach, und seemed now to be study
ing the hoofprints. Her eye 3 wan
dered from them to the farmhouse
on tho hill, and again to tho mountain
which lifted its blue shoulder above
tho crest of tho nearest hill.
"It do pintedly seem like ma gits
wu-scr and wnsser the hull time. I
ain't bed a mite of peace all summer,"
said Dely, addressing tho hoofprints.
" ,Vhy sho should suspicion 'at them
ar hootmnrks war made by Aleo Fen
ian's horse I cayn't surmise. An' Bob
Wilsdu a-oomiu' reg'lar an' the iieense
got an' everything."
"Ob, Miss Dely, Miss Dely !" called
a soft, drawling voice.
Dely faced quickly around.
"That you, Bud Harris? What yer
want? Don't holier thet-a-way?" with
a furtive glauce at tho house.
3ho looked at the hoy as calmly as
if he had been a post. Aud yet he
was a picture. Ho set all hygienic
theories nt defiance. Cornbread and
bacon, sodden biscuit and buttermilk,
stewed beans plentifully "seasonod"
with bacon, made tho menu by which
Bud had como to such a glory of
satiny, olive skin, clear eyes and
sturdy growth.
"What yer want?" repeated Miss
Dely, imperturbable.
Bud was only eight and Dely was
twenty-nine.
"He's over you—back o' tho spring
house—waitiu' ter Eoe yer," said Bud,
breathlessly.
Looks of pleasure and fright
chased caeh other over M,sa Dely's
fues.
"You go along, Bud, an' don't tell
nobody I" sho said.
Bud giggled, caught his breath and
then gazed soberly alter Miss Dely,
who went at once to the springlrouse.
Sho opened tho door and entered.
It was o'.ean and sweet and cool, and
pervaded by a soft gloom, only broken
by tho streaks of light that marked
where the chinking had fallen from
between tho logs. The stone floor
was damp and mossy. Jars of milk
aud butter stood iu a deep trough
along one side, and tho water went
purling between them, dripped from
the trough into a channel and went
gurgling off into tho branch.
Mifs Dely bent ber faeo to tbo wid
est crevice between the logs.
"What you want, Aleo?" It was a
shaggy head that approached hers and
a pair of keen blue eye?, rimmed by
blond brows, already a trifle frosted,
that were frammed in by tho edges of
tho logs.
"Jest ter see yer, Dely I" was the re
ply, in softest tones. "Jest ter seo
yer onco't more. I cayn't come ter
tbo weddin'—yer couldn't expect
that—"
"Why not?" interrupted Dely.
"She axes rue why!" groaned Aleo.
"Come out hyar, Dely. It ain't corn
table ter talk wi' them logs atween us."
"I cayn't," answered Dely. "Ma'll
see me. And I don't reckon hit's any
use talkin'."
"Hit's tho last time," pleaded Alec,
"When I give yer up ter Bob Wil
son —"
"Yer didn't give mo up," inter
rupted Dely, almost angrily. "Yer
couldn't, 'cause yer never bed me."
"An' why didn't I hev yer?" de
manded Alee, piteously. "I 'lowed
'twere all settled, only wo hed ter
brek it ter yer ma gradoonl—Miss
Towdsheud's so sensitive. Oh, Dely,
come out hyar."
"I ain't ergoin' tor. Yon war eleven
year a breakin' it an' Bob Wilson only
tuk two months," said Miss Dely, tho
wild apple tint in her cheeks growing
rosier.
"An' it never war all settled, no
how. Ye had yer chance an' ye didn't
tek it. I dunno why. Ef you reely
hed eared for—"
"Ef I hed cared fer ye I" said Aleo.
"Don't yer know I cared for ye?"
He gave her a look of such intense
affection that she grew pale and felt
like fainting. Then, like tho man ho
was, he lost his advantage by begin
ning to tramp up and down the narrow
space in the rear of the spring-house,
groaning and gesticulating.
"I wish I'd a fit him. I vow I wish
I'd a fit him 1"
Dely watched him, at first curiously
nnd, 110 doubt, with a certain pleasure.
He had had his ciiance and had not im
proved it. and now he was being pun
itb; d for it, a kind of poetic justice
which appeals to souls of all grades.
But soon her mood 'changed. She
began to cry heartbrolcenly.
Big Alec Penland grew as weak as a
baby.
"Dely, if you won't come out hyar
I'm er corain' in thar," ho cried, aud
in another minute he had her in his
strong arms.
It was only for a second, howover.
Dely's sobs stopped suddenly. Sho
struggled to get free.
"Ain't yer 'shamed, Aleo Penlan',
an' mo most ez good ez married tor
Bob Wilson !"
Aleo released her instantly and
stood looking at her, his faeo drawn
and pale.
"You act like a plumb fool, Aleo,"
whimpered Dely.
"I reckon mabby I do," said Alec,
humbly.
Ho looked at her, his heart sinking,
bat he saw that sho was trembling for
all her harsh words.
"Dely, Dely, Dely I" called a sharp,
menaoing voice.
"That's mil" exclaimed Dely. wild
ly. "Oh, Aleo, don't let her seo yo.
She'll hang her head erg in the wall
wus 'n ever sho banged hit when Bob
axed fer me an' sho banged hit ergin
when Susan Harris brung homo my
weddin' gown. Oh. Alec, why won't
yer go? She's er comin' I"
Aleo went, seeing that the danger
was imminent.
Mrs. Townshend called again. "I'm
eomiu', ma," and Miss Dely hastenod.
"What air yon er foolin' away your
time for down thar, all' here's .Tim
Wilson been tor tell yer that Bob's
took powerful bad an' tho doctor aint
no hopes on him hardly. Er pretty
piece er work thet is, an' you'll git
talked about fine. An' yer got yer
weddin' dress an' all," jeered tho old
woman.
Miss Dely grow sick all over. Was
there then no escape Jfroin this life?
"Jim wnntcd yer ter go over thar,
but I tolled him I wouldn't hev no
sich work as that—my da'tcr running
atter a man thet a-way."
Thoy had reached tho thouso now,
and there in tho living-room was the
wedding gown Daly had been so proud
of.
She began to weep.'
"Yon shet up, Dely Townshend!"
cried her mother. "Ef yor don't I'll
bang my head all to pieces ergin the
wall I" and she gavo it a hard thump.
"Oh, ma, don't, don't!" shrieked
Dely. "X won't cry. X won't do
nothin'."
The old womau sat down in her
splint rocker.
"Yer'd better not then!"
The menace in her biaok eyes meant
business, and Dcly, choking down her
sobs, went about getting dinner.
Poor Bob Wilson never recovered
from his sudden illness. He begged
to see Miss Dely, and iu the deed mid
night sho stole out trembling and went
and stayed an hour by bis sick, bod.
"I hate ter leave ye," said Bob
kindly. "But tliar'a Aleo thinks a
heap on ye. 'Twos a mighty equar'
thing his givin' ye up ter mo like he
did,"
"Oh, Bob, don't talk thet a-way 1"
cried Miss Dely.
Hers was a sincere soul and here
was Bob dying, but she was absolutely
powerless to tell him tho whole truth.
"Weil, Weill It's all right, I sup
pose," said Bob weakly.
He was so nearly done with his life
that its loves and hopes did not matter
much.
Dely's wedding gown was presently
pnt away iu tho old family eliest aud
Dely went about her duties with a
sadder face.
"A wilder 'thout over boin' mar
lied," sneered her mother, and the
kind neighbors added that it " 'peurod
like Dely TowuFend was pintedly
meant fer an old maid."
In the few weeks that followed Bob
Wilson's death, Aleo Penland did a
deal of thinking and day dreaming.
Pleasant thoughts aud pleasant dreams
they were, too, ono would guess by
the sercue expression ol' his strong,
kind incc. Ho worked some at "fixiu'
things" around home.
Aleo had lived alone, keeping house
for himself ten years or more, and it
is putting it mildly to eay that tho ap
pearance of the house, both inside aud
out, indicated that such had boon tho
ease.
One day found him at Mrs. Towns
bend's door.
Mrs. Townshend was carding cotton.
She gave him but u curt welcome.
"I hopo you air well enough,
ma'am," said Aleo, with deference.
"I'm only jest tol'ablc," was the
oold reply.
"Where is Miss Dely?" ventured
Ales presently.
"She's down ter the springplace,
but I don't reckon thet oonsarns you,"
Alec's heart beat hard, but ho un
swered boldly:
"Yes it do, ma'am, bekase me an'
Dely air goin' ter git married."
"No, you ain't," snapped tho old
woman. "I ain't goin' tur hev you
liaugin' 'round here tryiu' ter steal my
da'ter. Ef you git her you'll wish
yer hadn't."
Alee's face hardened.
"Dely's a good gal an' you ain't no
call to talk that a-way about yer da'ter.
I don't ever want ter hear no moro o'
that."
She stared at him dumfonnded,
then, starting up, hurried to the side
wall and beat her head against it till
the partitions creaked.
Aleo glanced around. A long wool
scarf hung over a hook. On another
hook were suspended two or throe
saddle girths.
In another second Mrs. Townshend
suddenly felt herself grasped nronnd
the waist and borneTorcibly to the old
splint rocker.
Shejscreatned, struggled, kicked and
bit. It was of no use. Deftly and
quickly, though as gently as possible,
Aleo bound her firmly in the chair,
and bound the ohair todhe tall, four
poster bedstead, and confined her
hands and feet.
"I'se reely afeard ye might hurt
yerself, Mis' Townshend," he said
kindly.
"Alec Penlan', how dare ye! Tarn
me loose, turn me loose ! I'll put yer
in tho penitentiary 1" yelled the vic
tim.
"Sho, now, I wouldn't! There!
Don't fret! Will is er comin' back
afore sundown, yer know, an' he'll
untie yer. I wish yer good day, Mis'
Townshend."
lie backed out of ber presenoo liko
a courtier, carefully shut all tho doors,
and hurried to tho apringplace.
Poor old woman ! Sho gave one or
two discordant cries, and then aston
ishment got tho better of anger. By
this eimplo expedient of boating her
head against the wall, she had all her
life ruled with an iron rod her whole
family. Was it possible it was going
to fail now?
Alex found Miss Dely sitting on tho
steps at the springhouse, churning.
She wore a dark-blue gown, and the
cream which foamed up around the
dasher was not whiter than her cape.
Sho looked, Alco told himself, as
pretty as a posey.
Sho smiled at him and bado him
"Howdy 1"
Aleo thought of Bob Wilson.
"Thar shan't nobody say he war a
better man than me!" be muttered.
Ho went boldly up to MissDely and
kissod her. Then ho laid his shaggy
head close and whispered something
in hear ear.
"Ob, no, no, Alee! Ma'd beat her
head off."
"No, she won't. She cayn't."
Dely looked soared.
"You ain't killed her, Aleo?"
"Oh, no ! She's—gone a-visitin'."
Miss Dely got up quickly.
"Alee, what yon been er-doin'?"
"Notbiu'l But I'm goiu' ier kerry
yer off."
"No, you ain't!" I eayn'fc go !"
"Now, Dely!" coaxiugly. "Be a
good gal. Come!"
"I cayn't! Aleo, what you done
with ma?"
"You come an' I'll tell yer."
"No, no, Aleo! I cayn't!"
"But I say yer got ter."
Miss Dely protested, but her resist
ance grew weaker. Perhaps it was
tho tender words ho kept whispering
in her car that sapped her strength.
Ho half led, half carried her down
the bank of the branch into a woodsy
bridle path. There stood his big, black
mare Molly, nil saddled.
He helped Dely to the top of a bowl
der close by, and then climbed inio
the saddle.
"Come 1"
He reached out his hand and caught
hers.
"No, Alee, no!"
But sho put her other hand on his
shoulder and sprang up behind him.
"Oh 1 I cayn't go, Alec 1"
"Yer cayn't helped it,"ho said tri
umphantly, and the mare cuntered
down the shaded roadway toward
Ashoville.
Three hours later, when the wester
ing sun was low, they were slowly re
turning in the samo way along tho
same road. And so returning, who
knows what pleasant castle-building
was interupted by the sight of a wood
wagon joggling aloug in advance of
them.
"There's Will 1" exclaimed both.
Abrest of tho team Aleo drew rein.
"Whoa 1" cried Will, and he stopped
and stared.
"Ef I wero you, Will," said Aleo
gently, "I'd hurry homo. Yer ma
needs jer. An' Will, you tell 'er 'at
Dely an' me is married, 'n' ez fur ez
wo're got wo like it fust rate."
As lie rode on he turned to look
over his shoulder into her smiling,
rosy face.
"Don't we, honey?"
Dely's looks nnswered. She was not
an emancipated woman, but sho had
changed tyrants. Jt was the happiest
hour of hor life.--Now York Tribune.
Irrigation by Windmills.
It was found that in tho Arkan
sas valley water could be obtainod by
shallow wells ranging in depth from
eight to twenty feet. This is raised
by hundreds of windmills into hun
dreds of small resorvoira constructed
nt the highest point of each farm.
The uniform eastward slopo of the
plains is seven feet to the mile. The
indefatigablo Kansas wind keops tho
mills in active operation, and tho
reservoirs are always full of water,
which is drawn off as it is required for
purposos of irrigation. These small
individual pumping plants have cer
tain advantages over the canal systems
which prevail elsewhere. The iiriga
tor has no entangling alliances with
companies or co-operative associa
tions, and it is able to manago tho
water supply witlioat deferring to tho
convenience of others or yielding
oliediouco to rules and regulations
essential to tho orderly administra
tion of systems which supply largo
numbers of consumers. The original
cost of suoh a plant, exeltrsivo of tho
farmer's own labor iu constructing his
reservoirs nnd ditches, is S2OO, and
tho plant suffices for ten acres. Tho
farmer thus pays S2O ptr acre for a
perpetual guaranty of sufficient
"rain" to produco bountiful crops;
but to this cost must be added $2 per
aero as tho nnuual price of maintain
ing tho system.—Century.

TOLD BY A SOCIETY GIRL.
fomelliiilß About Morphine, Sulphur,
Molniscs and Other Thills',
From the Eceninj Fetes, Newark, N. J.
Among the popular society leaders in East
Orange, N. J., Eramu L. Stoll, a charming
young maiden, stands in the foremost rank.
Shots of a lovable disposition and the light
of the social set in which sho moves. Eor
two years she has been a sick girl from Inter*
ual troublos peculiar to women, and having
recently recovered, has given our reporter
tho following interesting account:
"Instead of improving under the care of
my physician I became worse. For live
weeks I was unable to get out of Ded and
about six o'clock each morning I suffered
horribly. My lips were sore nnd lacerated
from tho marks of my teeth, for in my efforts
to keep from screaming I sunk my teeth
deep into my lips. At suoh limes I rolled
and tossed until the bed shook likoan aspen
leaf and it Anility got so serious that tho
doctor—l won't tell you his name—gave mo
tome morphine pills to tnko. Tho very
thought of them now makes me shiver. These
morphine pil's simply put mo to sleep for a
while, and when I became conscious ugaiu
mv agony was renewed.
"Tho pain in my stomach and back was
more than I could stand. 'Your blood is
poor,' said the doctor, 'take sulphur and
molasses,'and I did until it was agreat won
der that I was not a molasses cake, ft was
timo wasted in taking it because I was not
benefited intho least; my suffering continued,
but by a mighty effort after being in bed so
lone, I got up. Oh, bat I was a sad sight
then. From 112 pounds, I had fallen to
ninety; my oheeks were pale nndsunken and
I limped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side. Theulroad of Dr.
Williams Fink Tills for Fate Feoplo and
tho testimonial in the News inspired me
with hope. I got the pills and took them.
Before many days I began to Improve nnd be
fore I had iiuishod ono box I felt as if I
could go out and walk for miles. I soon
stopped limping and through the Pink Pills
1 soon bid good bye to my headaches, whllo
tiio paiu in my stomach and back slowly but
surcaysuuiraailisJ to tho iailuonco of these
pills that seem to bo able to parsuailo all
pain to lenvo one's body. Now 1 am as I
used to be. well and sirong. light-hearted
an l merry but never without the pills. See
I havo got some of thorn now," ami from a
nearby cloak sho handed out ono of tho boxes.

densed form, all the elements necessary to
give now life and richness to tho blood and

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of tho
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts —
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, hut simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syr up of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, lliat it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bcnc
flcial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you havo the genuine article,
which is manufactured by tho California
Fig Syrup Co. onty, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in tho enjoyment of good health,
and tho system is regular, then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afllictcd with any actual disease, one
may bo commended tothomost skillful
physicians, but, if in need of a laxative,
then one should have tho best , and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
