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."

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.

Do You Enjoy
What You Eat?
You can eat whatever and whenever you
like if you take Kodol. By the use of this
remedy disordered digestion and diseased
stomachs are so completely restored to
health, and the full performance of their
functions naturally, that such foods as would
tie one into a double-bow-knot are eaten
without even a "rumbling" and with a posi
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what is
more these foods are assimilated and
transformed into the kind of nutriment that
is appropriated by the blood and tissues.
Kodol is the only digestant or combination
of digestants that will digest all classes of
food. In addition to this fact, it contains, in
assimilative form, the greatest known tonic
and reconstructive properties.
Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all
disorders arising therefrom.

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.
