Train 's Opera house was comfort-ably tilled last evening, with an in-terested audience to witness the commencement exercises of Lowell high school. The weather was per-fect and unlike such occasions gen-orally, there were no crying babies to disturb the exercises.

The stage was appropriately dec-orated with the class colors, crim-son and gold, and the date, "1001" and motto, ' 'Grada t im," were con-spicuous in white on a crimson back-ground. Bright potted plants and beautiful bouquets in profusion were also seen. At one side sat the members of the class, seven in num-ber, as follows: Misses Lenna Vei-ter, Nina Beekey, Grace Gardner, Olive Nash, Bessie Kinyon, Messrs. Ohas. McMahon and Arthur White. Beyond them were the high school teachers, members of the board and the two clergyman.

The program was very creditably carried out in every particular but time and space forbid our mention-ing each number in detail.

He has lost all the gloss of his plumage and now wears a coat as dusty and brown as any human wanderer you ever saw. He has Inst the common blackbird's neighborly habits, and usually flocks -all by himself out in the pastures.

• The only creatures that stir any in-terest in his lieing are cattle, and wherever you see a herd of those ani-mals grating over the pasture yon are pretty likely lo see a cowbird flying • s w their backs, dodging about their feet or even resting upon their backs. That is w hy he is called •"cowbird." hecause cattle seem to be tbe only an-imals b*1 cares anything about.

This Is often a misuke. a.-we know of several places in a village where the wells near the top of the bill are not as deep and are not •» much affected by a drouth as tho^e on tbe lower land at the foot of the bill, though there may be fifty or a hun-ired feel difierence in this elevation But tbe chief objection to tbe well on tbe low ground Is that it receives the surface drainage from the higher land and thus tbe water soon becomes s j rontaminated as to be unfit for use either by the family or the animals for to be healthy they must have pure water. In these days of driven w d b a pipe can often be sunk on tbe higb-«t gravel knoll or sand bill on tbe farm more cheaply than In tbe low land, and when water Is reached It l> pure and will continue so. becaus the surface wster runs sway from i and not toward i t If a windmill is reeled the wind power is better, and

by tank and pipes water can b-brought to bouse, barn and yards, o; -arried to irrigate tbe garden . and strawberry bed in s way to make it doubly pay for ilte'f, first in saving > of daily hard labor at the pump an I aezt ia increased crops by having a water supply when needed.

DEATH begins in the bowels. It's the unclean places that breed infectious epidemics, and it's the unclean body—unclean in-side—that "catches" the disease. A person whose stomach and bowels are kept clean and whose liver is live-ly, and blood pure, is safe against yel-low fever, or any other of the dread-ful diseases that desolate our beautiful land. Some of the cleanest people outside are filthiest inside, ana they are the ones who not only "catch" the infections, but endanger the lives

of all their friends and relatives. There's only one certain way of keeointr clean inside so as to prevent disease and that is to take C Perfect disinfectant and bowel strengtheners. All diseases

(NO. 3.]

An a m u s i n g and interes t ing fea-tu re of the Pos ta l exhibi t in the gove rnmen t bu i ld ing , referred to in our last issue, is that of the dead le t te r office. T h e r e are several cas-es filled wi th a heterogeneous col-lection of ar t ic les that for one reas-on or ano the r were never del ivered to the persons for whom they were in tended, bu t finally with tons of o the r such ma t t e r found their way to the dead l e t t e r office.

T h e fo l lowing gives an i d e a o f t h e sor t of stuff people send or a t t e m p t to send t h rough the mails : T h e r e a re p lug hats , snakes, toads, scor-pions, bo t t l e of pota to bugs , para-sols , artificial teeth, knives, revol-vers, wire bust les , box of raiiiins, snake in le t t e r , al l igator , dynami te bomb , axes, saws, a woman 's hat t h a t looks like an heirloom f rom N o a h ' s a rk , wooden shoes " a n d many o ther art icles too numerous t o m e n t i o n . "

T h e r e was a love le t ter on a pine board , half an inch th ick , 8 inches wide aud 2 f ee t long. Some tellow had penci led a very a rden t le t ter to his swee thear t , in which he takes he r to task f o r neglec t ing to answer bis le t ters and accuses her of writ-i n g to T o m , Dick and Har ry and " n e v e r even m e n t i o n i n g " him. A young lady sen t her lover a shav-i n g outf i t which he re fused because of " p o s t a g e d u e . " H e r le t te r ac-companies t h e outfi t , and in i t she assures h im t h a t " T h i s is no hand-me-down shaving set , f o r I paid $1.75 fo r i t , and wi th care i t ^ i l l last you all your l i f e . " T h e outf i t looks as if i t met wi th an accident on the road, howeyer , and t h e razor resembles a relic f rom P o m p e i i .

There , too, is a h u m a n skull which was sen t to P r o f . Sc and So and refused by him on accoun t of $3 .19 charges. T h e sender had sealed his package so t h a t i t could not be examined—hence t h e exces-sive charges .

One of the typical old western s tage and mail coaches is t o be seen

yhere. I t was used between Helena, / W a s h . , and Bozeman, Montana ,

and was one of the first on the route. T h e tr ip was then made once a week. Now, t ra ins run be-tween those places four t imes dai ly.

Mrs . J . and myself wore consid-erably amused by a handsome scene p n r p o r t i n g ao represent a mail car-r ier in N o r t h e r n Michigan. I t is a winter v iew, in a wild count ry , and may correct ly represent some U p p e r Penineula min ing d i s t r i c t ; bu t the carr ier is an Indian and the team is of dogs ,h i tchcd to sleds, the figures being of l ife size. The re may be some foundat ion for this repre-senta t ion: but Eastern people who stil l believe tba t Michigan is popu-lated pr incipal ly by Indians and wild beasts, will have the i r erron-eous ideas confirmed by this scene. I assured our Buffalo f r i ends tha t it was not typical of Michigan 's postal facilit ies.

T h e Cuban mail carr ier in repre-sented as us ing a d iminut ive donkey. A handsome f ree rural delivery wagon and various un i fo rmed and equipped wax figures, i l lus t ra t ing tbe mai l ing faci l i t ies of the P a n Amer ican count r ies , are interest ing features of t h e Pos t Office depar t -ment ' s exhibi t .

T h e W a r depa r tmen t shows a vast collcction of a rmy weapons of every sort and descr ipt ion, f rom old , s ingle-barrollod, flintlock muskets and pistols of Colonial and Revo-lut ionary l imes to the rapid-fire magazine and ga t l ing guns of today . Here were some of the enormous project i les used in the mammoth , modern cannons. Some of these project i les are larger than the can-non used in the Revolu t ionary war.

Pas s ing a long 1 discovered some old relics, t reasured on account of their associations. One is Benja-min F rank l in ' s cane, used by the sage, perhaps , when he was so elo-quent ly and successful ly pleading American cause in France . Here too is Thomas J e f f e r son ' s desk upon which tne or ig inal d r a f t of the Dec-laration of Independence was writ-ten. In such appropr ia te company are to be f o u n d W a s h i n g t o n ' s sword and eyeglasses. T h e la t ter were preseuted by the first pres ident to Lafayet te , and the French pa t r io t ' s g rea t grandson in 1892 presented them in iurn to the United States.

In a collection of old books, I discovered a Bib le printed a t Nu-remberg in 1493. T h e old book is in such an excellent s tate of preser-

vat ion, 1 am af ra id it has not been read much .

T h e Mar ine depa r tmen t with its f o g horns , searchl ights , l ighthouse models and mar ine hospital , had an in te res t ing and ins t ruc t ive display. I was much in teres ted in a large re-lief map s h o w i n g the appearance and d e p t h of the sea in - ' the bay of N o r t h A m e r i c a " a n d Gulf of Mexico. One ge ts a very v iv id and last ing impress ion. T h e Be rmuda islands, for ins tance , are t h u s seen to be merely the tops of mounta ins r i s ing 18,000 fee t f r o m the ocean's b o t t o m , mounta ins of the precipice type , too, the descent be ing a lmost per-pendicular clear to the bo t t om.

T h e r e are many o the r maps and views of s imilar character , s t u d y of which will repay the seeker fo r Icnowledge.

I see by the dai ly papers t h a t the Exposit ion people are inclined to blame the ra i l roads because of the small a t tendance t h u s far . T h i s is not the t rouble .

rtland. May 6th.—Dr. E. A. Roso, 'practising physician, formerly of

Center, Kans., was on what ie supposed was bis deaih

^ He bad Diabetes, and six of bla brother doctors were In attend--ance and consultation at his bedside

' They had done everything that medl-£?cal 81(111 could suggest to save his life,

hut they were at last reluctantly forced I to tell him that he must prepare for

death. His aunt had been summoned to his

dying bedside. After the doctors bad given her nephew up, she inalsted that as a last resort, he be given a treat-ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

From .the very first dose, the tide turned In his favor. His life was saved, and he Is hale and hearty to-day.

This case and Its cure has amazed the physicians, and is the sensation of the hour. It is interesting to note that while many others are being cured this great discovery in medi-cine, the physicians themselves are among the first to benefit, and that while the simpler and more prevalent forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe-male Weakness disappear before It, the more malignant forms, such aa Blight's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy, which have always bem regarded as Incurable, are yielding Just as easily.

Dodd'a Kidney Pills are fast super-ceding all other treatment lor Kidney Disease, and as nearly all human slck-h?88 and suffering has its origin in the Kidneys, the use of this wonderful medicine is becoming almost universal.

EX-UNITED STATES MARSHAL MATTHEWS. OF MISSISSIPPI.

Hon. S. S. Matthews, ex-Unltcd States Marshal of Mississippi, In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Company of Columbus, Ohio, written from Hazelhurst, Miss., says:

" I am happy to say that / am cured of catarrh and need no more attention from you. It Is a great satisfaction that lam able to write

you that Peruna has In my case dona tJI that you claim, and that / will need no more medicine."

The great multitude take this rem*-edy without any other advice than tlu dlrecUona to be found upon the bottlo and in the ppmphleta. There are thoM who prefer, however, to correspond with Dr. Hartman during their sick-ness. To all such he will make prompt and careful answer without charge.

Hon. J. F. Crocker of Buffalo, N. who was for years Superintendent of Schools at Buffalo, In a letter dated Oc-tober 16, writes:

"I have been a sufferer from ca-tarrh SlX Or HUlXllUUAmiuXUlkAUp seven years,! ,||ii . t and after' trylng many remedies was Induced by a friend to take Peruna. The a results have} been highly: satisfactory. / 3 take pleasure j Hon. j . f . crooker,

/I . i Sunt. Buffalo, N. Y. -in recommend' 3 public schooin. r Ing Peruna to it Tt T f fTt T TTTTTTT VTTTTtW any one suffering with catarrh, as my case is complete."

Hon. B. B. Dovlner, Congressmaa from West Virginia, In a letter from Washington, D. C., to The Peruna Med-icine Co., says the following of their catarrh remedy, Peruna:

"I Join with my colleagues In the House of Representatives In recom-mending your excellent remedy, Po-runa, as a good tonic and also an ef-fective cure for catarrh."

Mrs. Mary C. Fentress writes from Paradise, Tex., tho following: " [ think I can say that your good advlco and medicine has cured mo of chronic catarrh. I have had no pains in my head since I have taken Peruna. I have been in bad health ever sine® '59, and have taken a good many med-icines which were only of temporary relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. Tho Peruna stopped my catarrh of the head so that It did not become chronic, and I am very thankful for Dr. Hartman'u advice and medicine."

Peruna Is a specific for all catarrhal diseases. It ai-ts quickly and bene-ficially upon the Inflamed mucous membrane, thus removing the causo of catarrh.

Catarrh Is catarrh wherever located. Catarrh Is essentially the same every-where. The remedy that will cure ca-tarrh In one situation will cure it 1b all situations.

If you uo not derive prompt and sat-isfactory results from the use of Pe-runa, write at onee to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your caa* and he will be pleased to give you bis valuable advice gratis.

'Weil, you may count on me," said Mrs. Volan. forced in spite of herself to enter into the buoyant spirit of her friend. "When once 1 get atorted I'm • regular war-horse."

CHAPTER V. When Mrs. Ooddard returned to

Lyndhurst at noon, Blanche and her

guardian and Mr. Talley received her in the drawing-room. The exchange of greetings might have been mere awkward platitudes but for her won-derful conversational skill.

"I 'am so s o r r j I was detained tn town lost night," «he laughed. "The major was actually frightened when he reached me. 1 did a very foolish thing in taking so much money. Im-agine my surprise to find tha t 1 had actually $5,000 in my purse when 1 took i t out to pay the cabman. When •I went off the major was not here, and being accustomed to taking money from th© safe, I thrus t my hand into the bo* and 'folded up some bills. I intended to pay a few bills of pretty good size-in town, but goodness knows I didn't intend to carry off a •moll fortune.".

Talley laughe'd unsuspiciously. "Some pickpocket would hove been

In clover," he rainarked. "The fright I gave this dear man,"

and Mrs. Goddord laid her gloved hand on the arm of Her statuellke husband, "was a good Hiing in one way, for when I told h f u that Dr. Sloan, who was at the Palace yesterday, had ad-vised me to take a sea voyage he was ao relieved over finding that I had not been abducted that he really con-sented to my running over to London for a week or so."

"We-are-sorry you are going," said Blainshe, with a start of surprise.

'••But surely not alone?" remarked Talley.

"No; I have-applied to a bureau for a companion. They know exactly the kind of woman I want, and 1 shall have no one else, I assure you."

'*! have been looking over my af-fairs, and I think I can get away," said Ooddard. "You will a t least al-low me to.go over with you."

"And be Obliged to nurse yon through your seasickness," laughed his wife. "Ko, this voyage is for ray own health,'thank you. Prom the mo-ment the'gangplanks are up till they are down he is too ill to eat a bite," she ooid to Blanche and Talley. "I shall'be provided with a good compan-ionable maid. New York Is full of gentlewomen who are dying for such opportunities/'

"After fill, it may do her a lot of good,*' Blanche said, consolingly, to her guardian, whtolMrs. Ooddard had left the room. "She oeems to entvei-pate so tuudh pleasure from it. She seems to treat me «o much more gen-ially than ahe has been doing."

The major, frowned. There was a trustf'il glance in the girl 's eyes which rertalled her school days to him. She looked almost «k childlike as she had the'day she had come into her father's sickroom, her long golden h«ir plaited and hanging down her back. How vividly he recalled John Briscoe's words:

"My darling child, this is the best and truest friend I ever had; he has shown me his friendship in a thou-sand ways; if anything should happen to toke me from you he will care for you ae tenderly as your own father could."

Ooddard shuddered over this mem-ory, ond the thought that, although she was marked as such an early prey Of death, he had been induced to plot against such frailty, but he felt the futility of struggle. Ever since he had fallen under the .spell of Jeanne's eyes he had looked upon her as Jhe ruler of his destiny, be it for good or evil.

"You ought not to suffer so because she is going, dear guardian." said Blanche, with tender concern. "You ought to look forward to her return, and not give yourr.elf up to morbid brooding over It."

"She doesn't want me to go with her, you see," answered the major,

Ihg back to a closer view oi his u woet. His lip was quivering, and

me was almost petulant, fc'" , '*U 1 afraid J am in the

g One movulqg three u„yB later they were all seated In the libtftry,

'Ooddard sat tn the bow wlhtto*. i , e r

eyes on the road which'led past Lyuu.' hurst to the atatlon. 'Blanche was

ing over some !!50«tfi-at. the piano, Talley was taking down in short-

OoddaTd's halting dictation lusinew rarrcsbotidence. Kow

and then Mrs. Ooddard Would fhrtlve-ly scan the faces In the room and then peer toward th« road again. Suddenly she saw a cab containing a single occupant driving in at one of the gates at the bottom of the lawn, and she at once rose and went to the fire and sat down. When the door bell rang a few minutes later, she was the only one iu tihe room who did not appear to notice it. She seemed so much absorbed in thought as not to see James when he entored with n card on a tray.

"A lady to see you, madam," he an-nounced.

Mrs. Ooddard had four pairs of eyes on her as she scanned the card.

" 'Mrs. Lucy Nolan,'" she read, " 'from the Metropolitan employment bureau.' Ah, i t is the woman they were to send me I Tell her, J a m e s -tell her 1 shall be in at once. Where is she?"

"In the little ptrlor, madam." "What is she like?—but never mind;

I shall see for myself. If they have sent me anybody without the best of

preparations, 'running Into the city on the morning traiiiH nnd returning In the afternoon. As her stay short-ened Ooddard's depression became more and more obvious. Ht: shunned the companionship of his ward nnd neg-lected to give Talley any work to do. When he wns not following his wife about like a doting slave he was brood-ing alone In his room or walking nerv-ously In the wood behind the garden.

The night before her departure Mrs. Ooddard retired to her room imme-diately after dinner was over. The first two hours were given to her hus-band, but a t ten o'clock she dismissed him with the request that he send Blanche to her.

Our young lady found her seated over a little Are in her luxurious boudoir. The gaslight In a yellow globe was burning low and the red coals in the grate gave a rich tint to tbe'furniture and tapestries. She ^greeted Blanche with the superficial smile whioh she had been conferring on her without stint since the hntching of her nefari-ous plot, and taking her hand she

Ooddard's voice wandered into Inac-curate dictation.

"Oct that off and I shall finish the rest some other time," he said, weari-ly, to his secretary. The gaze of his ward seemed to melt on his faca. She

well knew tha t ihe realization of his wife's coming departure bad fallen up-on him with new force.

In a few minutes Mrs. Ooddard re-turned. She was amiling with amused satisfaction.

"She is just the woman 1 wont," she declared, looking a t the major, "but perhaps you will-feel better if you have seen her and apoken to her. I asked her to wait to see yon."

"Have ynu really engaged her?" asked Ooddard, dejectedly.

"Oh. yes; we came to terms at once. She has a son in London and is anxious to see him. She will not want much more than her passage money, but of course I shall try to be generous with: the poor thing. Don't expect to find , her beautiful. She is anything but good-looking, but that is not what I am after. Oood-looking women a re rarely useful."

As the major laf t the room his wife resumed her seat a t the window. Her color was high; her eyes were as full Of life as a flue diamond, and Blanche could hardly keep her eyes from her face. She was boglnning, now that Mrs. Ooddard was exerting herself to be attractive, to-comprehend the hold she had on'the major. To-day Mrs. Ood-1

dard looked as she had when Blanche, had first seen her nnd realized that the place her guardian had filled In her girl- i ish heart must b ; deprived of its ten-ant, that she must never even In; dreams.remember those days when he used to sit beside her In the little re-ception room at Mme. Bell's select school. She had been sure during those visits that his eyes, the pressure of bis hand, his parting kiss had meant-the same os her delicious yielding to them had implied. But the awakening shock had come and she had borne In silence her secret and gone through the daily torture of witnessing both her guardian's adoration for another and, what was almost as painful, that other's indifference to it oil.

When Ooddord reentered the room there was a droop of uf ter despondency on him that added years to his appear-ance.

"Well, how do yon like her?" his wife asked. ' "Oh, she is all right." he said. "She

seems good enough; but somehow T simply can't reconcile myself to—"

"Oh. puh!" Mrs. Ooddard rose with a graceful sweep of her lithe body and atood with her beautiful hande linked behind her head; her yawn, showing her perfect teeth, was as pretty and in-sincere as a coquette's kiss. "Blanche," she said, "if you ever marry, make just as many voyages as you can. Themore a wife is oway the more she is appre-ciated. But 1 must go and give that woman some final directions. What'ls her name?" Mrs. Ooddard picked up the visitor's card. "Nolan, ugh! what a frightful mouthful. I'll have to call her Lucy, as much as I hate to address a maid by her Christian name."

When she had gone out Blanche went to the sofa on which the major was seated and sat down by him.

"Dear guardian." she said, "I wish I could do something to help you."

When he answered there was a dis-tinct touch of faultfinding in his tone.

"You would not go away on a pleas-ure trip and leave a husband you loved behind, would you, Blanche?"

She had hesitation to answer, but when she did It. was without a twinge of conscience, and her firmness sur-prised herself.

"I could not do so, guardian." "I know it. my dear girl." he said,

sighing; "but she is not like you. How-ever, she wants the trip and she shall have It."

Just then he saw Jeanne and Mrs. Nolan .passing through the hall to the cab waiting at the door. He rose and went out on the veranda, but was just In time to see the cab driving away with its occupant. He put his a r m around the statuesque figure of his wife.

"For Ood's sake, dropit, Jeanne," he muttered. "I don't feel as if I can go on with it."

"It 's too late now. dear." she said, giving him a glance from her wonder-ful eyes. "Think of all the fun we shall have when the girl finally succumbs. ^No, you have given me your promise. I shall hold you to itl"

"Jeaune," he said, gazing into her •s**. "you are a beautiful mystery to Nt tn 1 ^ n ' t understand you."

^ouie. .y int\ turned back Into the

friendly chat with you before I go," she said. "1 am afraid T have not been so-good to you as I ahould have been; b u t ! was born thoughtless and have never gotten over it."

niuuehe could not thluk uf a suitable

reply, though she allowed her hand to rest passively In the clinging grasp ol the woman, which action was sufflciont-ly cordial 'for a nature so coarse ot, fiber as Mrs. Ooddard's.

"What do you suppose I have been doing every spare moment lately? Don't laugh, but"—Mrs. Ooddard pohlt* ed to a Bible on the table near her, a ' rich affair bound in Bussian leather and gold—"I have been reading that Book and finding out how wicked I am. Before going away 1 •wnnt/hum-bly, to beg your pardon, Blanche. I could have treated you better. You are a Chrlatian.aren't you. dear?"

"I try to be. Mrs. Ooddard; 1 hope 1 am."

"My attemiits In that direction'have generally been spasmodic," went on the older woman, smiling. "I presume I have really not striven herd enough, or kept at It 'long enough, for my efforts to be really good have always ended In an explosion of good intentions.

THE MOHAWK VALLEY A D E L I G H T F U L MORNING

R I D E ALONG I T .

Some Neglected Note* of Bostoa

Vlnlt. The Railroad Hog.

Pokin, N . Y., May 10, 1001. Dear Ledger:—

1 arrived here this evening from dear old Bonton via the F i tehburg road and found it one of tho moNt delightful trips of my life.

For many miles along the route, the Mohawk river and the Er ie Canal run nearly parallel,, the river being unusually even iu its course. The valley is broad, green and fertile and in the back ground on either s ideare long lines of hills beautifully wooded. The majestic river with its oeoaHional boating and fishing parties, the famous canal with its numerous and well laden scows, along whose 'path our revered and lamented Garfield once trod as a barefooted and ragged driver, the frequent meeting and pasHing of passenger aud freight trains on either side, uonmbined with the extensive view of nature's carpet and banks of green valley and wooded hills all combined to impress me as a sight never to be forgotten. I t was four d'oloek in the morning, on awaking from a nap, I saw what 1 was miss-

i)Dg. "See , here, old boy. N o more steep to-day. Shake yourself and see wha t you can see ."

W e passed through the Hoosao tunnel at night, while ! was asleep; but 1 was awake at IRnttordam iunotion where we changed oars. There was a long wait a t this God forsaken spot, and it seemed to me that numerous of the passengers were doing some grumbling and swearing. Wi th my poor ears, 1 oan't be sure. They may have been simply repeating the name of the place over to themselves. I t ' s quite a pleasing name to think of when wait ing for a train at midnight.

Our train ran through the exten-sive premises of the Syracuse salt

VWAl All the remaimiur

Ooddard w ? . occupied vwuv,

happy, and that Is the keenest sort of j works, affording a fine though miniatiTnawt—^n Hn maifo fnoi ftta*. I 'hurried view of this great industry.

They say that the sharks are not nearly so iplentiful At Niagara Falls; as they once were; 'but there are: p l eo tyof them yet and they follow; you persistently yelling tbeir offers of service for several blocks from the depot. "WhenI was within two minutes walk of the Falls, one fellow kindly offered to ' ' t ake you clear to the Falls for 26 cento."

The Falls seem lo have a strange fasoination for people of suicidal iudliuations. This afternoon within a few minutes af ter 1 le f t Prosjpeot Park ,an old man threw ihimself'into tbe rapids and was carried over tbe ipreoipicein the mighty torrent to be ground to pieces on the rooks below. This method of suicide oomes as near to annibilation as one can imagine, as there is not a chanoe in a thousand tbat a recognizable portion of his body will ever be seen again.

In looking over my notes, j I flud that in the accotiDt of my visit to Bunker bill monument, no mention is made of two small Revolutionary

iguns which are kept in tbe very top *)f the monument, the Hanoook aud Adams. This inscription inlaid in brass^or copper is. upon the first;

' ' T h e Hancock, sacred to liberty." This is one of four cannon Which constituted tbe whole train of field artillery possessed by tbe British 'Colonies North America at the commencement of the war on tbe lOtb of April, 1776. This cannon and its fellow belonging to a number cf citizens of Boston were used in many engagements during tbe war. T h e other two, the property of the 'Government of Massadbusetts were taken toy the enemy. B y ' o r d e r of the Uni ted States 'in congress as-sembled, May 10, 1788."

The Adams gun, which is burst near tbe'muzzle, bears the same in-

punishmerit—to be made 'to feel that you have made yourself the devil's co-adjutor. I t has been that way in re-gard to your guardian/'

"Mr. Ooddard?" •murmured 'Blanche.; 'T don't understand."

"Blanche, Tshall feel betterlf I make a full confession to you before I go. T wont you to sympathize with me— pity me If ynu wish, but try 'to see a lit-tle good In me. Dear girl. I was so worldly-minded that 1 married your guardian for what I could get out of him. because'he was at~ that time rich, but I do not love him and. to be more frank, I am miserable with him. It seems to me that I simply' cannot stand i t here another day I"

"You don't love him!" said Blanche, with a shudder, and -she recoiled and drew "her hand from Mrs. Ooddard's clasp.

"Ah, 1 see you don^t understand how such a thing could'be, >but It Is so, and, try as I will, I cannot make myself care for him. This voyage gives me infinite pleasure'bemtse Tshall be free if only for a little while. Bu t you must noutiJUUm'"

Nerve Sievery. I t b present-day conditioni—heaping

burdens of work upon tbe nervous system tbat tells the story—premature breaking up of health.

It tells why so many then and women, who so fsr as age in vesrs Is concerned, should be In the prime of health, find them-selves-letting go of the strength, the power, the vitality they once poaessed. It k be-canx that great motor power of the body, nerve force, is impaired. Every organ de-pends npon its controliiog power ;jatt as much as the engine depends upon the staim to put it Into action. An engine won't go without steam. Neither will the heart, the brain, the liver, the kidneys, the stomtch act right without their proper nerre force supply. Let any organ be lacking in this •ttential and troubles begin—some of them are:

Throbbing, palpitating heart Sleepless nights. Sadden startings. Morning languor. Brain fsg. Inability to work or thlnh. Exhaustion on exertion, Flagging appetite. DlgesUon slow. Food heavy. Easily excited, nervous, Irritabls. Strength fails. Loss of flesh and muscular power. Settled melancholia. Utter despondency. A picture, hideods, but easily chasged to

tee of brightness by use of -Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerre Pills. They balid np the nerves and supply nerve force.

Boston's public library is another thing that has escaped mention.

northwest of Boston. One thing I discovered about

financial matters, while in Boston, struck me as a little queer. Tou remember that during the last two; campaigns, a great deal was said about ' 'one dollar being as good as another the world over." Well , my I brother, Lee D . , who is a man of imquesttoned veracity informed me that ' 'Michigan money is no good in Boston." Think of it! And he insisted on !paying all tbe oar fare and theatre bills, because he didn' t want m c to get into trouble by trying 'to pass spurious currency. All I have to add is that If any of my readers evergo to Boston—and they ought to go there if anywhere—1 hope they will Knd tha t kind of a brother aiid experience the same difliculty in passing "Midhiganj Money."

The railroad bog—the man who pays for one scat and occupies four, while other passengers Stand—is very much in evidence. Go where you will you find him. And the utter indiffeience wi th wlndh he regards the tired mother, carrying a. babe^ as she longiugly eyes the seat occupied by his valises and | bundles is enough to rouse the ire; of a saint. I t reminds me of a story I heard the other day.

One of these same railroad hogs| was occupying four seats , as afore-; soid ; when a man somewhat under the influence Of liquor came in ai asked:

" I s this seat occupied " T e s , it is ." "Oh, y e s , ! see. I t has got your

valise in i t . " "Goon , you'r d runk . " "Oh, yes, P m drunk, and Pl l get

OVER that; but you are a hog and! you'll NEVER get over i t . "
