FOR THE CHILDREN Valor Without a Parallel. Perhaps the most remarkable exhibi tion of valor which history recounts occurs as follows, briefly told; Two im mense armies were once lined up oppo site each other, and a battle seemed Imminent. But it so happened thut one hoßt had among its numbers a warrior of gigantic size and enormous strength and, well knowing that it would be dif- j flcult indeed to find his match, taunt- | lugly offered to send him out and let him fight single handed with any one the opposing force chose to send against Lim, the terms being that all should abide by the result of the com bat No one could be found to go out against him, clad in his heavy armor and terrible to look upon with his huge spear and sword, until at lost a mere boy arrived in camp and desired per mission to go and meet him. At first his request elicited nothing but ridi cule, and he was told to return home, but so persistent was he that he at length gained permission to make the attempt and went out to fight the giant. The reader well knows the rest—how that David, for it was he, advanced to meet Goliath with nothing but a sling In his hands and as the huge fellow ad vanced upon him, confident of success over such a diminutive enemy, hit him In the forehead with a smooth stone from the brook and cut off his head with his own sword, at sight of which the enemy fled In dismay. Safer In Captivity. A little boy stood in front of the brook trout exhibit at the aquarium recently ieerlng Intently at the spec kled beauties, relates a writer in the New York Tribune. He turned to the fish expert who stood near him and said: "It seems a pity to keep the beautiful fish in these tanks. They would have so much more fun In a brook." "They are much safer here," said the wise man, "especially these brook trout. Do you know that not more than one in every thousand of the brook trout created lives to be more than a mere baby? Why, the little trout no sooner takes his first peep out from the gravel where he has been gaining strength for the battle of life than all sorts of monsters attack him. Frogs, weasels, chubs, lizards, water snakes, herrings and minnows go for the little fellow, and when he has es caped these he has the larger trout to fight or run away from. To escape all these he has to remain in shallow wa ter near the banks for a long time, and when the little beauty has learned all the tricks to save his life and has be come the one in a thousand to escape the baby dangers the fisherman comes along and tempts him with a fly and gets him. Now, isn't the trout lu the glass case better off?" The boy thought he was. A I'aper Spfarlng Content. Tear or out clean scrap paper into Inch squares and pile them on a paste boa rd box lid. There should be several handfulß, enough to make a good sized heap. Place the box lid in the center of the table at which the game is to be played and give each player a pin. The fun consists in seeing who, in the fifteen minutes allotted to the game, can spear the most pieces with his pin. By the rules of the game only one piece of paper may be taken on the pin at one time. If two are captured by mistake, both must be returned. A small prize may be given to the boy or girl having the most squares when the game is at an end. Fanny's Rennonlnar. Fanny has the head of au embryo philosopher. Overhearing her mother and grandmother lamenting her loss of appetite, she promptly asked for a piece of cake. The mother thinks it is too near dinner time and suggests a cracker instead, whereat Fanny replies with the triumph of a discoverer, "Do you know, mamma. I believe cake Is much better for the appetite than cracker, for when I eat one piece of cake I always feel like eating another." —New York Times. r Dr.bavid Kennedy? favorite Remedy Down on the Suwannee River By WILLIAM HAVEN ROSS Copyright, 1902, by McClure's Newspaper Syndicate "Merlinda," drawled Cap'n Eph Biggs as he gave his back tilled chair another hitch toward the wall, "Jes' ye stir yerself an' fetch yer dotin' daddy thet air plug uv terbacker he left on the counter." There was no reply. ••Well!" ejaculated the cap'n. "Thet lazy gal's snoozin' like sixty an' let tin' trade git over inter the next county. M-e-r-linda!" Still Melinda did not respond in per son or by voice. The cap'n looked around in a helpless way. Over to the east he could see a murky stretch of the Suwannee river bending through the trees. There was a dusty, lifeless road in front of the shore. The cap'n reclined and reflected. It was hot, and he hated to move, but he want ed his tobacco, and, being a wid ower with but one child, his comfort certainly was dependent largely upon her. If she were too lazy to wait on her poor old dad, he thought, it only served to prove that he had wasted money when he bought her a melo deon. While pondering on her Ingratitude and sliiftlessness he nearly lapsed again into slumber, but an awful thought intervened. It made him sit upright, bringing his chair down upon its four legs with a bang. "Sam Worn per!" exclaimed the cap'n. "I'll bet thet dodgasted razerback crit ter hez hed the effront'ry ter cum gal livantiu' round hyar ag'lni" He went through the store and into the house that formed the rear of it. Asleep in the little porch which framed the kitchen door was a smull negro boy. Cap'n Eph kicked him. "Rouse up, Mose," said the cap'n, "an' tell me whar's Merlinda." "I dunno, boss," said Mose, edging to get out of range. "I hain't seen her fer more'n er hour." "Look hyar, leetle nigger brat, am ye goin' ter tell whar my darter is?" "Don't yo' stomp, cap'n! Fer de Lawd's sake, don't stomp!" shrieked Mose, drawing his knees up to his ab domen in the agony of expectation. "I'ze gwine ter tell all I knows." "Jes' ye tell!" was the cap'n's grim admonition. "I seed Mis' Merlinda cum outer de doah an' wave her ban'. Den I looked over yander," and Mose pointed to the north, "an' I seed Sam Womper up dar at de edge uv de cl'arin'. Den she done went inter de house an' got her bunnlt. I seed her go over ter whar Sara wuz loafln' round, an' bimeby I seed 'em git inter er dugout i : done go 'long." "Maybe—maybe," soliloquized the cap'n, "I kin head 'em off at the bend. The river's mighty low, an' thar ain't much current. 'Sides, thet good fer nothin' clay eater am too lazy ter hit the water hard with er paddle." The cap'n ran through the house and the store, seizing his shotgun on the way, and made over the country to ward the woods which bordered the bend. When he poked his head through the underbrush upon the bank, he saw the dugout with Sam and Melinda aboard and less than fifty yards away. The stream was very narrow there, and Sam kept the boat near the shore to enjoy the coolness of the shade. "I wisht I hed er gun. Did ye hear thet deer a-tearln' through the brush?" he heard Sam ask. "I got the gun!" shouted the cap'n, drawing a bead on the young man as he spoke. "Ye jes' p'int thet boat right in hyar or I'll fill yer hide with buck shot!" Sam paused with uplifted paddle long enough to conclude quickly that it was wise to obey, and when it struck the water again it sent the dug out flying toward the bank. "Whar be ye goin,' Mis' Biggs?" the cap'n inquired of Melinda in flue irony. "I wuz goin' ter git inerried, an' I'll do it yit," she replied so defiantly that the cap'n gasped. "So ye will, so ye will," he respond ed—"l see ye gittin' too headstrong fer me—but not merrled ter him, gal. I'll pick out the man fer ter be my son-in-lor, an' doan ye nevah fergit thet." The cap'n climbed into the boat and pointed up stream. He sat down at that end of the craft, with his gun across his knees, and grimly sup pressed his wrath. They had not gone fnr before the dugout glided by a big water oak whose branches extended far over the bank and were Intwined by a huge grapevine. The fruit was ripe and hung in luscious clusters. "Hoi* on er mlnit," said the cap'n. "Leinme git er bunch." Bam backed the boat under the tree, and the cap'n carefully placed his gun where he thought he could get it quickest arid reached aloft among the tendrils. Bam let him get a good, firm hold and then drove the paddle into stream for one long, strong stroke. The dugout shot from under the cap'n's feet in an instant, leaving him dan gling above stream thirty feet from shore. "Bloody blazes! What on airth am ye about? Hey, cum back!" shouted the cap'n, but Sam began to beat the water with his paddle and to yelp like a dog. A big alligator shoved his snout out of the water immediately, almost, and, it seemed to the cap'n, blinked its ferocious eyes at him. "Hey. Sam, quit yer fool in' an' back up hyar." said he. He was stout, nijd even the grip of desperation was not going to hold up 200 pounds until a hungry alligator went home. "I ain't foolln'," said Sam solemnly. "I want ter merry Merlinda, an' hyar's whar I does it. Ye am jestice uv the peace an' kin tie us ez tite ez eny parson in Jawgy. If ye won't do it, why, then, ye kin drap. After thet gater hez chawed ye up thar won't be nothin' ter spile the weddin'. I reckon I'll be keepln' yer store after thet." "Merlinda," gasped the cap'n, "will ye squat thur an' see yer only parent et up by sich er varmint? Grab" the gun, gal, UD' give him both barrels in the eyes!" Hut Mellnda chewed the ribbon of her sun bonnet and gazed far away. Cap'n Eph felt that Ms strength was failing. "Back up, Sam, an' take me aboard. I'll merry ye," he said at last. "Nary u back," answered Sam. "No man wot hez ever Ijoen in politics in this yere county would take yer word fer enythlng. Yer gwine ter merry us right whar ye be." The cap'n took another look at the alligator, and it set him in a tremble. "Merlinda," said the cap'n, stilving for a fresh grip, "d'ye take thet ornery cuss ter be yer husban' fer bettah or fer wiiss? Thar couldn't be no wuss." "Yes, paw," said Mclinda. "An' ye, ye dod blasted, yaller faced chipmunk, d'ye take my darter ter be yer lawful wedded wife? An' I hope she'll he like her ma!" "You bet," said Sam, playfully splashing a little water at the alli gator. "Then I pronounce ye man an' wife. Now will ye back up?" Cap'n Eph sank exhausted into the boat, and Sam slowly paddled up the river to the lunding. Just before he turned the dugout in toward the shore he remarked: "Say, dad, yer eyesight mus' be fail- In'. Didn't ye obsarve thet thet sick ole gator didn't hev 110 teeth?" Machinery Can Do No Wrong. The machine by which railway tick ets are printed gives a very amusing little show of intelligence, or what looks to be very like it. Railway tick ets are not, as might be supposed, printed in large sheets and afterward cut up/ The cardboard Is cut into tickets first and printed one by one afterward. The little blank cards are put In a pile in a kind of perpendicular spout, and the machine slips a bit of metal under neath the bottom of the spout and pushes out the lowest ticket in the pile to he printed and consecutively num bered. "It is no use trying to print a bad ticket," says the attendant. "The ma chine finds ont an imperfect blank In an instant and flatly refuses to have anything to do with it. Look here." He tears off the corner of one of the bits of card and puts it into the spout with the others, and you watch to see what happens. One by one the blank cards are pushed out to the printing part of the mechanism with swiftness and preci sion until the mutilated ticket gets to the bottom and tries to smuggle through. On the instant the machine stops dead and refuses to budge again until somebody comes and removes the im postor. Pull out the damaged ticket, and the mechanism will set briskly to work again.—Chambers' Journal. Firitt Wheel Clock. Some say that Archimedes made the first wheel clock as earlj' as 200 B. C., says the London Electrical Age. Oth ers give credit to Wallingford, who lived so late as the beginning of the fourteenth centurj'. Hut the most per fect water clocks were, long before tile latter period, furnished with wheels, so that the only improvement was the substitution of a solid body to act as a moving weight instead of water. It is not to be wondered at that the ap plication of a weight to clocks as a moving power should attract so little attention as wuter and sand were un doubtedly thought more convenient by contemporary writers. The oldest com plete clock moved by weights is prob ably that sent by the sultan of Turkey to Frederick 11. in 1232. In the thir teenth century many of the church steeples in Italy were furnished with clocks moved ly weights, which struck the hours. Hole of Nuremberg is sup posed to have constructed the first watch in 1500, and to him must also be given the credit of the spring clock. The fusee was probably invented in England about the end of the sixteenth century. Hut it was not until the mid dle of the seventeenth century that the pendulum was first applied to clocks by Huyghens. The Fever of I'nreat. The expressman ran his pencil down the list of names on the last page of his hook, then he looked at the calen dar. "It will soon be time for that Miss Hughes to move again. She has been at No. 188 for six months." "Is Miss Hughes in the habit of mov ing every six months?" asked the vis itor. "Well," said he. "I wouldn't put it at six months to the day, but her stay in any one place is never prolonged much beyond that period. She is a pretty good customer. I first moved her from a house in Thirty-fourth street seven years ago, and since then I have moved her regularly twice a year. And she is not the only person who gives me a steady job by any means. I have a number of people on my list who move at regular intervals. Some of them make a change every month or two, others only once a year, but no matter how long or how short their residence in a certain house, the fever of unrest is bound to seize them at stated times and along comes my order to move them again."—New York Times. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Economical Stain For Flo^g-a. This is a good time of the year for suggestions in regard to the treatment of floors for those who do not feel able to have hardwood floors. This is espe cially nice for southern floors, for there are many housewives who do not like carpets or heavy rugs in warm weath er. They do not consider them healthy. If you have cracks between the boards in the floors, they must be filled with putty before the stain is applied. Next mix linseed oil and burnt umber in the proportion of a tablespoonful of burnt umber to a pint of oil. If you de sire a lighter shade of brown, use a lit tle less umber. Apply with a paint brush, rubbing it in well. After a few days apply a second coat, and some put a third coat; then some just one. Try a little particle of paint after mixed on a piece of wood to see if the color suits you. The preparation of the floor before applying is very essential. It must be perfectly clean, so that the stain will udhere firmly instead of peeling off or showing uneven or cloudl surface be neath. The best way to remove the grease spots and not leave traces of lye or strong soap, which injures the paint, is to prepare a good cleansing suds of rainwater and pearllne. Have it warm, and change water as soon as it gets soiled. The idea is to have a clean, evenlike floor under the stain. If you do not, the floor will not be a success. This stain makes a rich brown color and looks almost like a hardwood floor. Something: New For I'lanta. Here is something new in the way of a revolving stand for plants. The idea is to let the plants have the sunshine during the day and turn them away from the cold which may make its way through the window at night. The stand consists of a round wooden polo resting in socket fashion on a block of wood set on the floor and secured at the top by an iron band with an arm screwed to the wall. Shelves are fas tened to the pole by means of brackets. Aside from making the iron arm and TUB REVOLVING STAND. band a handy man can do ail the work. The arrangement is an ingenious one and does away with the need of lifting plants or covering them when a drop in the temperature is expected.—La dies' Home Journal. The Columbia. It might be just as well to treat the Columbia with considerable respect. The designers have been theorizing a bit with the Reliance. it seems, and have adopted a brpader beam, while the Shamrock 111. has been given a narrower one. The foreigners have been following winning designs, while our constructors have taken the other tack. So, after all, the Columbia should not be slighted. It wouldn't be sur prising if the Ilerreshoffs have done their best work in her. She may be needed.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Due Notice is .Served.

Despondency and melanchola, due to inactivity the past year, led to suicide. Whitlock had always lived a busy life, working hard and steadily, until about a year ago, when he retired. After the novelty of his new life of ease bad worn off he be came fretful and restless. Yesterday morning the bond of Jus tice of the Peace I). L. Chapin, of New Columbus, was approved by Judge Fer ris. Mr. Chapin is one of the oldest justices of the peace iu point of service in the state, having just completed fifty years of continuous service. He was first commissioned in April, 1853, when Franklin Pierce was president of the United States. The supreme court has handed down a judgment granting a change of venue of Ronemus and others for the trial of their cases from the court of Carbon county to the court of Montgomery county. The defendants were indicted for murder in the killing of Patrick Sharp, of Lansford, during the strike. A competition for the selection of a name for the new trolley lino betweeu Wilkesbarre and Scranton has ended In the selection of the name Laurel Line, and & design emblematic of the laurel.

For liver troubles and constipation There' nothing better iu creation Than Little Early Risers, the famous little pills They always effect a cure and save doc tor bills. Little Early Risers are different from all other pills. They do not weaken the system, but act as a tonic to the tissues by arousing the secretions and restoring the liver to the full performance of Its functions naturally. Grover's City drug store. All the upper end coal companies are arranging to give the foremen, bosses, civil engineers and clerks an advance In wages which will conform with the advances paid the miners during the past two years. The advances will aggregate from $lO to $25 a month for each man. The entire congregation of the Holy Saviour church, Wilkesbarre, is expect ed to take the pledge next Sunday at the request of Father Curran. A year ago he induced them to abstain from in toxicants for a year and he will thi* year ask the saute pledge from them. A Sweet Breath is a never failing sign of a healthy stomach. When the breath is bad the stomach is out of order. There is no remedy iu the world equal to Kodol Dys pepsia Cure for curing indigestion, dys pepsia and all stomach disorders. Mrs. Mary S. Crick, of White Plains, Ky., writes: "I have been a dyspeptic for years—tried all kind of remedies but but continued to grow worse. By the use of Kodol I began to improve at once, and after taking a few bottles am fully restored In weight, health and strength and can eat whatever I like." Kodol digests what you eat and nrakes the stomach sweet. Grover's City drug store. Dellcions Caken For Breakfast. If the bread box is empty and tlie new bread still in the sponge, one can have delicious little hot cakes for breakfast in a short time and with very little labor. Form bits of the sponge into tiny round biscuit and drop into boiling hot fat. In the lard bath they puff up to twice their original size and are soon cooked. Drain on crumpled brown paper and serve with butter, like hot biscuit, or with maple sirup or honey, like pancakes. These dough cakes are so light they are not ruinous to one's digestion unless indulged in too frequently. Petroleum For Cleaning:. Attention has boon drawn recently to the cleansing effect of petroleum on soiled clothes. The host way to em ploy it is to fill an average boiler, say of fourteen gallons, with water, adding half a pound of soft soap, and when all is boiling thoroughly pour in one and a half tnblespoonfuls of petroleum. Then put in the clothes and boil them for half an hour before lifting t.lieni out. and rinse them in several waters. A little more soap, water and paraffin should be added to make up for loss as successive lots of the clothes are boiled.
