A STORY OF THE BOER CAMPAIGN IN NATALXX^

Ey H. E Macaeozie

I*

J * CHAPTER I.'

It was evening—a glorious evening, .such ftB only tropical countries know. The hot wind that had blown all day had now died down, and there was a great stillness; but a pleasant cool­ness in the air made it delightful after the sweltering heat.

There had been no rain for a long time, and the ground was parehed and dry. Outside the pretty homestead the red sand of the veldt lay thick"and fine in the dry graas which covered the wagon track. But inside the grass looked green enough. Perhaps it had received, an artificial shower. All round the grassy lawn were flower beds, mostly of tropical flowers, among which the succulent blue lily raised its long, trumpet-shaped flowers; but there were a fov/ English flowers, too —stately hollyhocks, sweet-scented roses, queenly -dahlias.

Beyond the lawn an avenue of blue-gum and black nettle led to the veldt withemt. Behind the. house, which was built of stone, and looked quaint and pretiy with a veranda running round it, rose some of the highest peaks of the Drakensberg. A little to the left ran the river Klip.

On this evening the sunf too ©ear its setting to be hot now, was shining right into the" sleepy brown eyes of a girl who lay full length in the shade of a gum-tree, a book on the grass be­side her. Her head was supported by a plump little brown hand, and she was smiling a very happy, contented' smile, as if seme happy thought passed through her mind. * It was a pretty face, too, with its warmth and healthiness of coloring, u s softly-rounded, girlish contour, its smiling, half-open, red lips, its clear, open, chiimshly smooth forehead, over >vhich little curls of the brown haiT shot with ruddy gold came straying. The half-shut, smiling eyes were very soft and happy just now; but who could- say whether they might not some day be filled with burning pas­sion, with blinding tears, or with the cold, set expression of despair?

"Bluebell,, Bluebell! where are you, chi ld?" ' • • ' . -

The voice came across the little lawn, clear and distinct on the evening air; and the girl, rising up from her comfortable position, shook herself, very much as a wet spaniel n ight do after coming out of the water, and started at a quick run for the house.

A tall, angular, spinster lady stood upon the doorstep.

"What a head, child!" was the salu­tation. "Have you forgotten we arc to have company tonight?"

—-n^et iv I do believe I had/'-retorted

Scotland, who had emigrated to South Africa 10'years ago, was a man of mid­dle age, heavily built, stout, and red-faced, with a heavy chin, a stubborn mouth, and a pair of rather cold gray eyes. But just now, his face was red­der than UBual and there was a slight want of certainty in his gait as ho sprang from his horse that Bluebell colored to see.

His companion, the "millionaire," was not at all what Bluebell had pic­tured him. He was an old man; he looked straight-backed and alert, and sat on his. horse with an air of negli­gence that showed him a true horse­man. For the rest, Bluebell could see that he was somewhat dark in com­plexion, wearing a short little peaked beard; but she could not see his face distinctly. '

She went downstairs presently. Her sitting room was a pleasant apartment, with -skins of springbok and other wild animals covering the floor. A lamp burned on the table, on which a sump­tuous supper was spread. The two men stood by the fireplace talking.

As HraebeU entered her father turned.

"Well, my girl, I'm back again, you see. Come and kiss me, Bluebell."

The girl approached, and the other/f man on the hearthrug stared at the dainty white figure as Adam Leslie gave her & sounding kiss on the cheek.

"Yen see I've brought a friend with me, Bluebell. Mr. Moore—my daugh­ter; Bluebell.*"

Mr. Moore bowed lo> , Bluebell did the same. She did not offer her hand, as her frank custom would naturally have led her to do; she hardly knew why.

"You wiTl remember your native country every time you address Miss Leslie," snid the millionaire, turning to his "host.

Adam, Leslie laughed uproariously. Bluebell felt now quite sure that he had been drinking. He was usually a reserved, even taciturn man, 'stern enough towards his household'; but alcohol unloosed his tongue arid gave him a certain coarse frankness."

"Quite right, quite right, Mr. Moore! It was her mother gave her the name— a romantic freak; but it serves its purpose here, and makes us remember the poor old 'mither' country."

Miss Elizabeth came in presently, and they all sat down to the abundant supper. During the meal the two men talked, Mr. Moore quietly and gravely, in a somewhat rich, sonorous voice; Mr. Leslie with loud hilarity. Miss Elizabeth and Bluebell said very little, and the latter had a strange, uncom-fortahle consciousness during the meal

the girl. "Don't be angry with me, will you, auntie? Really I couldn't help-it. I'll never, never do it again. Now dad's going to bring. some one from Maritzburg, is he? Who i s it, auntie? Not anyone very great, I hope —Mr. Rhodes, for instance?"

"Don't talk nonsense, childl*" re­turned Miss Elizabeth Leslie. "No., JIO! i t ' s no one so great as that, only .same very rich man, I bolieve, who has made his money. at Kimberley or somewhere. Bat run away and dress yourself, child. I have a good sup­per ready, so I hope your father won't keep us waiting. He wished us to have dinner; but why should I? We don't call it dinner when we are alone, and why should we change our customs for strangers?"

"Quite light, auntie dear." Bluebell patted her aunt's bony shoulder with a gentle hand. "Besides, lively enough he's some coarse, horrid man! They are always the kind that become mil­lionaires. Ofi, rauirtte,* I hop"? rathe? won't make a great friend of him if he i s !"

"We shall soon see hfm, dearie, so there's no use thinking beforehand what his ways are," said Miss Eliza­beth—she was always called Miss Elizabeth—soothingly.

Bluebell ran upstairs to her own room. It was a pretty", little room, not containing much furniture, but as dainty as feminine fingers could make i t Bluebell did.not spend all her time tying dreamily under, t&e gum-tree.

She had just donned hei4 pret ty>hi te muslin frock, drawn in at the waist by a bine band—it was rather strange that Bluebell shottld smile and blush a little to- herself as she fastened the blue band—when the sound of horses'

that the dark, slow-moving eyes of the millionaire turned again and again to her face. She knew not why the look made her shiver suddenly every time she met it all through her warm, Joy­ous heart and body.

The two men talked politics, discuss­ing the likelihood of Kruger's yielding to Britain's demands.

"Give in? Not he!" cried Leslie loudly. "Well, the British know what to do next, that's one good thing. We'll sweep the whole race of them from the earth before we've done with them, or I'm mistaken, and it's what they deserve!"

"If it comes to war, of course there can be no doubt as to which side will win," said "Miv- Moore, more quietly. "I suppose you have no friends among the Boers or Afrikanders, Mr. Leslie?"

"Friends among such people?" cried TOr. Leslie. "Not very likely! I would not admit one of them into my house!"

Bluebell spoke almost for the first time. Her -voice was just a little un­steady, as II emotion of some kind was stirring it,

"Yon don't always speak like that, father. I am sure we. have never re­ceived anything but kindness from any of the Dutch with whom we came in contact And. besides, there's a good deal to be said for their desire to rule their own republic in their own way. How would we like oyer in the old country if foreigners came and settled down among ns—Frenchmen or Ger­mans—and compelled us to conform to their customs? They are only like their brave focefathers la the time of William the Sileat."

Her father interrupted her with a loud laugh.

"Doctor Rothes has provided you hoofs galloping mp the avenue drew her attention. She- ran to the window,) **th Qui*e * number of arguments. hiding behind the window-curtains. .

Presently two. riders emerged from the avenue, and rode up the graveled path to the house. Bluebell could see them-dlitlnctly.

The first was her father. Bluebell knew him well enough not to require

Elizabeth's Die. "who Doctor Rothes is?"

"A young Englishman over at Lady-smith," replied Mr. Leslie carelessly. "We have him here sometimes. A very clever young fellow—quite exception­ally clever; but Just,a little quixotic, you know, as young fellows are apt to be."

"Just so; I understand," said Mr. Moore quietly. He glanced at Blue­bell without appearing to do so, and saw that the healthy rose in her cheeks had deepened almost imper­ceptibly in tint, and that her long lashes drooped over and demurely hid her eyes.

The millionaire was to stay at New Kelso—thus Mr. Leslie had named his farm in memory of the Scottish town near which he had lived—ali night. Bluebell did not feel nearly as hospit­able as usual.

Now Kelso was a lonely enough place, being about twelve miles from La.dysmith, the. nearest village, and the womenfolk sometimes saw no outsider for the space of many months; they were, therefore, all the more disposed to make the most of any stray one who did appear.

But Blubell did not feel that Gerald Moore was going to be any acquisition She had a vague, groundless dread of him, as if his presence denoted danger.

"I don't like him," she said to her­self. "And yet why should 1« not? He has done nothing to make me dislike or distrust him."

Down-stairs the two men were sit­ting together at the table, a decanter of Scotch whisky and two glasses be­tween them.

They had been speaking In low tones; but how, .as the whisky began to take effect, Leslie raised his.

"You are a generous man, Moore!" he cried. "And you are in earnest when you tell me that this is the sole return you ask for your extraordinary generosity?" , "The sole return," Moore replied. He raised his hands to his lips, and kept it there for a moment; then, dropping it to his glass, which had stood full be-side him all the time, though Leslie had replenished his several times, he added slowly: "But I must have that return, Mr. Leslje—that and no other. I have set my*mind, upon it."-

Bluebell. But politics are quite out­side a woman's'sphere, my girl, so I advise you not to take them up. Eh, Mr. Moore, isn't that so?"

"I think Miss Leslie would even make a convert of me," said the mil­lionaire, bowing gallantly. Again

CHAPTER II. It was a week later. Bluebell had gone to Ladysmith,

riding across the dry, open veldt by the wagon-path on her sure-footed lit­tle horse Rover. She was a capital horse-woman, and" nothing daunted her when in the saddle.

It was a very hot day, and there were signs of coming rain, which made Bluebell hurry.... Her path lay across the dry veldt. Coarse, parched grass and withered shrubs made it look like a desert. The road was a bad and nan-row one. It swelled and undulated like an ocean, now dipping down into a hollow, now rising to the height of a little green-covered kopje. Some­times she rode close to the river, which seemed almost dry now, so long had been the drought; and always she

--kept-m sight of-the great—frowning peaks of Drakensberg, above which eagles and vultures circled in their sky-piercing flight.

Bluebell had messages at Lady-smith, but it was not of her mes­sages she was thinking as she neared her destination. She was close to it at last. She saw the little town nest­ling, as it seemed in the distance, al­most at the bottom of Bulwaan, though in truth separated from ft by wide stretches of meadow lands, with the Klip winding Its course through them.

Now she passed numerous kopjes of red earth, interspersed with shrubs, between which grew abundance of flowers, white jasmine and climbing convolvulus, and the rich glory of red and yellow bloom clustered thickly on the low, dwarf shrubs which covered the kopjes.

Bluebell had acquaintances in Lady-smith. The. Leslies were pretty well known in the cquntry.

She was just turn ing- in to the town when some one emerging from behind a sudden curve came towards her. Bluebell started a little and stooped over Rover, a richer color than exer­cise had brought there coming into her cheeki.

In a few seconds the new comer was close to her, and lifting his big gray hat from his head, paused by her horse. He was a young man, perhaps nearing thirty, attired in gray khaki, and with a sunburnt face which show­ed that he was exposed to all weather. For the rest, he had been originally a fair-complexloned man, with good features and &n open, frank expression. His dark gray eyes were clear and steady, but could look wonderingly soft and tender* They did so now, though his expression was one of much anxiety as he held out his hand, into which Bluebell put . hers without a word.

(To be continued.)

It is curious to note how many of the men who are now at . the war are bet­ter known by their nicknames than by the names to which they were born, says the London Mail. All the world over Lord Roberts is well known as "Bobs," chiefly so through Rudyard Kipling; while Lord Kitchener of Khartoum is seldom among his in­timates known as anything but "K. of EC." Col. Baden-Powell, who has been popular all his life, was known at Eton as "old Bathing Towel;" Col. Byron, who is A. D. C. to Lord Roberts, is known as "the Strong Man;" Maj. Orr-Ewing, who commands the Warwick­shire Yeomanry, and who married a sister of. the Duke of Rosburg, is called "the Weasel;" Capt. Peel is known ,as^ "Monkey;" Capt. Milligan, one of the smartest young men, as the "Canary;" Capt. Seymour Fortescue as "the Com­modore;" while Mr. Schomberg Mc-j Donnell, who was Lord Salisbury's sec- I retary, but gave up the position on go- \ ing to the war, is known to every ono as "Pom." Mr. Hugo de Bathe is best known as "Sugar;" Capt. Lawson and Capt. Eagot Chester, who are often to- \ gether, are known as "Bubble and Squeal:;" and Sir Cloud de Crespigny | is known as Creepy." Even the Duke of Marlborough, great man as he is, is called "Sonny" by those who know him well, and the Duke of Westminster is known as "Ben d'Or." Last, but not least, the Duke of Cambridge, who was at one time head of the war office, on account of his connection with the public parks, is known as "George Ranser."

Col. Baden-Powell, v,*ho, at the out­break of fee Transvaal war, asked to be placed iii ^ warm corner," has now held his "little corner" long enough to break all British siege rec­ords, including that of Lucknow, says Collier's Weekly. The place he has so long held, by the way, is pronounced (Mahf-king,^not Mafe-king. In regard to the colonel himself, Dr. Haig Brown, his former headmaster a«.

PISHING IN POLYNESIA.

Natives Cateh. the Finny Tribe* with Wooden Fishhook*.

A party of palu fishers are ready to set out from the little island of Nano-maga, the smallest, but most thickly populated of the Ellice group, saya Chamber's Journal. The night must be windless and moonless, tfce latter condition being absolutely indispens­able, although, curiously enough, the fish will take the hook on an ordinary starlight night. Time after time have I tried my luck with either a growing or a waning mcon, much to the amuse­ment of the natives, and never once did I get a palu, although other noc­turnal feeding fish bit freely enough, notably a monstrous species of sea perch, called Iaheu. The tackle used by the natives is made of cocoanut sennit, four or eight stranded, of great strength, and capable of holding a fif­teen-foot shark, should one of these prowlers seize the ba i t The hook is made of wood—in fact, the same as is used for shark fishing—about one inch and a half in diameter, fourteen inches in the shank, with a natural curve, the barb, or rather that which answers the purpose of a barb, being supplied by a small piece lashed horizontally across the top of tne end of the curve.

OBITUARY.

Sylvester Gilbert Noble was one of a distinguished family, whoso m«m bers have been conspicuous in civil, military and cdmm«rcial life. He was the son of Elnatban Noble, who was a native of New Haven, Conn where he occupied a position of influ­ence and honor and posessed .at one time considerable wealth His eldest brother was Butler G. Nohle an officer in the U. S. Custom House tor 30 years and Governor of Wiscon in dur­ing the civil war and then Harbour master at N. Y. for sevaral years

His youngest brother Herman C. Noble was a member of State Legis­lature in 1848 Sylvester was born on March 12, 1819, in Geneva N Y where his fathers memory is revered as the founder of Hobart College. In 1831 when 12 years old he uame with his father and the rest of the family to Michigan and settled in this town­ship which his father named Una-dilla, after a pretty village of that name on the Susquehanna River N. Y. On their settlement here the county presented a very different ap­pearance from what it does at present. There was but one family in the. township Ajaos Williams and no neighbors near. Indians still roamed through the woods, and bears, wolves, and deer abounded and the only roads were Indian trails.

Mr, Nobles life has been one of in­teresting adventure many incidents in it having a tinge of the romatic about them. At the age of 17 he starfed in life for himself without means and without friends except those he made. He went to Clevland Ohio, and engaged for thr*e years in the build­ing of thn Stale Aqueducts. After visiting Chiliicotb, Cincinnati and St. Louis he returned home and settled on the farm. He could not content himself Jbovvever with the routine of farm work, but ere long was. engaged in the structure of the Mich. Central railroad from Dexter to Jackson.

The spirit . of adventure stirred strong within him. He left home on March 10, 1849 for California by the overland route being one of the corn-pany known as the "Wolverine Ran­gers'1 numbering 67 men with 18 wagons 54 yoke of oxen and many cows and horses. .,

The march over land was very dif-erent from the pleasant rapid railroad journey. It was tediousome, occupy­ing 6 months. Mr, Noble -left—tto company and with one companion took ponies, provisions and started on in advance, the first night the Indians stole their ponies leaving them with their heavy packs to pursue the journ­ey on foot; their suffering during that toilsome march wa? something,terri1 le; the desire for water was so great as to cause perfect agony. After a weary march of 500 miles on the 10 of Oct. the eyes of the starving travelers were gladdened with the sight of the Sac-raraenfvValley. On arriving in the Golden State they went into the mines and Mr. Noble had the good fortune to open one of the richest veins dis­covered by his party. After en ?aging for a time in mining he went to San Francisco orrfoot and engaged in var­ious sorts of work, then be came home by way of the Isthmus and during the journey spent 3 weeks on the water in a dead calm, Coleridge PO beatifully describes iu the Ancient Matiner. Landing in Central Amer­ica he camo thence to New Orleans and from there to Mich, and settled on the old homestead. He^hus passed through aseries of stirring adventures which it is given to few 10 experience.

In 1841 Mr, Noble was united in Marriage Oct. 14 to Charlotte Eleanor Montague born in Catskill N. Y. Mar. 28. 1820 daughter of Luke and Eunice Montague, to whoiu were boin 2 child­ren who both died in infancy. On his return from Cal. Mr. Noble devoted himself to farm work in this town ship and spent a long lahoi'ous and active life. He was possessed of many excellences of character and took an interest in all that concerned the welfare of the community, fle was held in high esteem by aH who fcnew him -and now God- in bis Providence bas 8ent JiidSPfi81, t0 c&li<*fcim away i V o f f r W p M n ill I In n-lvlnced

Buffalo, N. Y., March —. The Service Building of the Pan-

American Exposition, to be held a t Buffalo, N. Y., on the Niagara Fron­tier, from May 1st to November 1st, 1901, was the first building of the Ex­position to be erected and is used by the corps of officials and employees having direct charge of the construc­tive work of the Exposition.

The bulldingT^wnlch is situated on the west side of the grounds, is 95x145. It is in the form of a hollow square, having two stories on Its exterior fa­cades and three stories on the court side. The entrance, which is in the form of a driveway, faces the north and communicates directly with the Inner court. Part way down this en­trance, and(from each side, extend the main corridors. That on the right leads to offices and apartments to be used for police headquarters and hos­pital service, including the rooms lor the use of the Commandant of Polico Station, the Chief of the Fire Depart­ment, medical waiting room, drug sup­plies, offices for a surgeon and his as­sistants and an operating room. The hospital has a porte cochere entrance for ambulance and emergency pur­poses.

The other portions of the first floor are taken up by a large room for the officers and clerks who have charge of the admissions and collections, and the auditing of accounts; these rooms [being fitted with flre-prpof vaults.

The working office of the Director of Wqrks, with his private office and •tenographer's room, offices for the landscape Architect, the Superintend­ent of Building Construction, Purchas­ing Agent, Chief Engineer, Mechanical and Electrical Engineer, and accom­modations for the officers having charge of Transportation and Installa­tion, Exhibits and Concessions, are ar­ranged to carry on the business ef-ithese Departments.

On the second floor Is the largo idraughtfng room; used by the force of architectural draughtsmen. This De­partment has separate offices and draughting rooms, with a large vault for valuable drawings. On this floor are the sleeping apartments of the Di­rector of Works and the Chiefs of tho various Bureaus, comprising the De­partment of Works. Here also are numerous apartments for such of the employees as the nature of their duties requires to Be continuously at the Ex­position grounds. A kitchen and din­ing room, apartments for the janitor

^ and-hospital nurses, and several guest chambers are provided on this floor.

The top floor of the building has ad­ditional apartments, a large blue­printing room for the use of the Archi­tects and Engineers Departments,.and the operating rooms for the " Official Photographer of the Exposition.

The building has a cellar. Frame construction has been used throughout. The studs are covered on the inside with composition board and sheathed on the outside with hemlock planks, which are covered with cement plaster, tne final finish having the appearance of stucco. '

The ornamental work. Including the flag standards, flnials, festoons, etc., are of staff. The roof Is covered with Spanish tile of iron. The building is in its architecture a free adaptation of the Spanish Renaissance, such as .is shown In old Californian and Mexican missions and churches. This stylo was followed as closely as the require­ments and exigencies of arrangement for light and space necessary in a first class working office allowed. / •

The building was erected ready for occupancy in 32 working days.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Black cashmere cloth, or serge, should not be washed with soap, but ox-gall should 1.3 used Instead.

Sun purifies und whitens blankets; they should be frequently hung out in the sunshine, which will also raise the pile of them.

Salad oil should not be closely cork­ed, as it is apj to turn rancid; a bit of cotton woof may be put into the neck of the bottle to exclude possible dust.

Rubbing silver or plated egg-spoons with a little liquid ammonia and salt will remove the discolouration caused

' by the sulpher in the egg. When hanging a mirror, see that it

is not so placed that the ray of the sun will fall directly on it, for by so doing the glass will be less likely to become clouded.

A good and harmless toilet powder is made by mixing six ounces of the best starch reduced to a fine powder, and two drachms of powdered orris root.

A good composition for rendering boots waterproof is made by melting together mutton tallow and beeswax In a proportion of one of the former to two of the latter. It should he applied at night, and wiped off the next morn­ing with a piece of flannel.

To render pure water inocuous it must be boiled for forty-five minuteB. A shorter period will destroy alkalies an<T salts, but wtfl not annihilate all bacteria. The tastelessness of boiled water may be aerated by pouring in half a dozen times from one vessel to another.

The most nauseous physic may be given to children without trouble by letting them such a pepper-mint lozenge, a piece of alum, or a bit of orange peel. Many people make the mistake of giving a sweet afterward to take away the disagreeable taste; it is far better to- destroy it -in the -first instance.

Muslin dresses very often become creased before they are. really dirty enough to require washing. In this case they should be treated as follows: Spread the dress^out on a wooden table or ironingboard, and damp* It thoroughly all over with starch ap­plied with a piece of sponge. This should be perfectly clean. Then iron it carefully, taking care the iron is not too hot, and when finished, hang it before the fire to dry. It should not on any account be folded The best way is to damp one part of the dress with the starch, iron it, and then go on to another piece.

It is a venerable joke that a constituent once wrote to his member of congress that he was grieved to observe by the Record that he had been pairing with some one- of the opposite party. "If , y«» must pair," wnto^he-eonstftuerit,j

and I suppose you cannot always be present to vote, can't you do it with some good man in our own party?" That kind of pair is cast in the shade by the arrangement whi<?h/ Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and Senator McEnery of Louisiana made. One is a Republican, the other is a gold Dem­ocrat. Each left his party on this issue. Republicans generally voted for and Democrats against the bill. Hoar was paired against the bill with Mc­Enery, who would, otherwise, have voted for the bill. Each was paired against his party.

The membership of one of the col­ored churches of Pittsburg is composed chiefly of the Joneses. Until recent­ly they have held all the offices, be­cause when it came to a vote the Joneses all stuck together. The tem­poral affairs of the church are tinder control of a board of ei^ht trustees, *H-of^wbem were-Joneses. At the an-nual congregational meeting for the election of trustees the Jones' slate threatened to. cause a division la the church. The minority wanted a repre­sentation on the board. When the time for voting came one indignant member arose and said:

"Fo's long's Ah can 'membah we'se —2laJi_nllffln, but Joneses in office en Ah

link hits time fo* a change. Ah move dat we drop some ob de Joneses en •lect a layman." In the interest of peace one of the Joneses withdrew. A man of the name of Smith was fleeted and the minority was mollified.

and resounding. The neighbors have heard of the return of the younger son from his wanderings, and they have gathered together. The house is full of congratulators. I suppose the, tables are loaded with luxuries, not only the one kind of meat men­tioned, but its concomitants. "Clap!" go the cymbals, "thrum!" go the harps, "click!" go the chalices, up and down go the feet inside, while outside is a most sorry spectacle.

Th« Senior 8<»n*K Anger. The senior son stands at the corner

of the house, a frigid phlegmatic. He has just come in "from the fields in very substantial apparel. Seeing some wild exhilarations around the old mansion,he asks of a servant Vfe*3' Tn^By"^wTffili"glo^^kIn^r^l^oh_TiiIs_

shoulder what all the fuss is about. One would have thought that, on hearing that his younger brother had got back, he would have gone into the house and rejoiced, and. if he were not conscientiously opposed to danc­ing, that he would have joined the Ori­ental schottlsh. No.ethere he stands. His brow lowers; his face darkens; his lip curls with contempt. He stamps the ground with Indignation; he sees nothing at all to attract. The odors of the feast, coming out on the air, do not sharpen his appetite. The lively music does not put any spring into hfs step. He is in a terrible pout. He criticiseb the expense, the Injustice and the morals of the entertainment. The father rushes out bareheaded and coaxes him to come in. He will not go in. He scolds the father. He goes in­to a pasquinade against the younger brother, and he makes the most un-comely scene. He says, "Father, you

Stand­ing in a religious meeting making an address, he has a patronizing way, as though ordinary . Christians were clear_away down below him, so he had to talk at the top of his voice in order to make him hear; but at the same time encouraging them to hope on that by climbing many years they may after awhile" come up withTh sight of the place where-he now stands. I tell you plainly that a roaring, roistering, bouncing sinner is not-so repulsive to me as that higher life malformation. The former may repent; the latter-1 not droppod oo low in wassail, the pro-

Students of municipal government had expected much of the proposed joint investigation of the municipal and private electric light industries •which was to be undertaken by the League of American Municipalities and the National Electric Light asso­ciation. The league is, however, back­ward in doing its share of the work and the private Interests intimate it 18 because the advocates of the munic­ipal ownership are afraid of the re­sult. The facta, as stated by the West­ern Electrician, are that according to the agreement made at Syracuse last September each was.to pay one-half of the cost of the investigation. The lea, -e stipulated that its acceptance of V>e offer should be conditional upon it raising ita half of the necessary ft ''3 by special donation. The elec-tn 'ight association has $2,600 ready, be ? its share of the money, but the W< >rn Electrician says the league

put a premium on vagabondism, staid at home and worked on the farm. You never made a party for me; you didn't so much as kill a kid. That wouldn't have cost half as much as a calf; but this scapegrace went off in fine clothes, and he comes back not fit to be seen, and what a time you make over him! He breaks your heart and you pay him for it. That calf, to which we have been giving extra feed during all these weeks, wouldn't be so fat and sleek if I had known to what use you were going to put It. That vagabond deserves to be cowhided in­stead of banqueted. Veal is too good for him." That evening, while the younger son sat telling his father about bis adventures and asking about what had occurred on the place since, his departure, the senior brother goes to bed disgusted and slams the door after him. That senior brother still lives. Tou can sec him any Sunday, any day of the week. At a meeting of ministers in Germany some one asked the question, "Who is that elder son?" and Krummacher answered, "I know him; I saw him yesterday." And when they insisted upon knowing whom he meant he said, "Myself! when I saw the account of tne conversion of a most obnoxious man I was irritated."

First, the senior brother of the text stands for the self-congratulatory .self-satisfied, self-worshipful man. With the same breath in which he vitupe­rates against his younger brother he utters a panegyric for himself. The self •righteous man of the taxt, like ev­ery other self-righteous. nta#, was full

never getB over his Pharisaism. The younger brother of the parable came back, but the senior brother stands outeide entirely oblivious of his own delinquencies and deficlts.pronouncing his own eulogium. Oh, how much easi­er it is to blame others than to blame ourselves! Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, the senior brother blamed the younger brother, and none of them blamed themselves.

Again, the senior brother of my text stands for all those who are faithless about the reformation of the dissipat­ed and the dissolute. In the very tones of his voice you can hear the fact that he has no faith that the reformation of the younger son is genuine. His entire manner seem&_to_say_: "That !>oy has come back for more money. He got a third of the property; now he has come back for another third. He will never be contented to stay on the farm. He will fall away. I would go in too and rejoice with the others if I thought this thing were genuine; but it is a sham. That boy is a con­firmed inebriate and debauchee." Alas, my friends, for the incredulity in the church of Christ in regard to the re­clamation of the recreant! You say a man has been a strong drinker. I say, "Yes, but he has reformed." "Oh," you say, with a lugubrious face, "I hope you are not mistaken; I hope you are not mistaken." You say: "Don't rejoice too much over his conversion, for soon he will be unconverted^ fear. Don't make too big a party for that returned prodigal or strike the timbrel too loud; and, if you kill a calf, kill the offe~thaTTs" on" the commons and not the one that has been luxuriating in the paddock." That is the reason why more prodigals do not come home to their father's house. It Is the rank Infidelity of the church of God on this subject. There is not a house on the streets of heave* that has not in it a prodigal ~ that returned and staid home. There could be unrolled before you a scroll of a hundred thousand names—the names of prodigals who came back forever reformed. Who was John Bunyan? A returned prodi­gal. Who was Richard Baxter? A re­turned prodigal. Who was George Whltefield, the thunderer? A returned prodigal. And I could go oat in all the aisles of this church today and tad

tray for many years, have been faith­ful, and their eternal salvation is as sure as though they had been ten years in heaven. And yet tome of you have not enough faith la their re­turn.

Greeting,th« Pro<H**L You do not know how to shake

bands with a prodigal. You do not know how to pray for him. You do not know how to greet him. He wants to sail into the warm gulf stream of Christian sympathy. You are the ice« berg against which he strikes and shivers. You say he has been a prod­igal. I know it, but you are the sour, unresponsive, censorious, saturnine, cranky elder brother, and if you are going to heaven one would think some people would be tempted to go to per­dition to get away from you. The hunters say that if a deer be shot the other deer shove him out of their com­pany, and the general rule is—away with a man that has been wounded with sin. Now, I say, the more bones a man has broken the raore^need ho has of an hospital, and the more a man has been bruised and cut with sin the more need he has to be carried into human and divine sympathy. But lor such men there is not much room come back after wandering. Plenty of room for elegant sinners, for sinners in velvet and satin and lace, for sinners high salaried, for • kid-gloved and patent-leathered sinners, for sinners fixed up by hairdresser, pomatumed and lavendered and co-logned and frizzled and crimped and "banged" sinners—plenty of room! Such we meet elegantly at the door of our churches and we invite them into the best seats with Chesterfleldian gal­lantries; we usher them into the house of God and put soft ottomans under their feet and put a gilt edged prayer book in their hands and pass the con­tribution box before them with an air cf apology, while thc?y, the generous souls,—tak© out—the exquisite porte- j monnaie and open it,and with diamond I finger push down beyond the $10 gold f pieces and delicately pick out as an I expression of gratitude their offering | td the Lord—of one cent! For such j sinners plenty of roam.plenty of room, i But for the man who has been drink- j ing until his coat is threadbare, and his face Is erysipelased. and his wife's wedding dress is in the pawnbroker's shop, and his children, instead of be­ing in school, arc out begging broken bread at the basement doors—of the city—the man, body, mind and soul on fire with the flames that have leaped from the scathing, scorching, blasting, blistering, consuming cup which the drunkard takes, trembling and agon­ized and affrighted, and presses to his parched lips, ami—his cracked tongue and his shrieking yet Immoral spirit-no room.

Do you know who that man was who Sabbath before last stagger­ed up and down the aisle in a church, disturbing the service until the service had to stop until he was taken from the room? He was a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a sister de­nomination! That man had preached the gospel, that man had broken the bread of the holy communion for the people. From what a height to what a depihL Ohr-I- was glad-there was no smiling in the room when that man was taken out, his poor wife following him, with his hat in her hand and his coat on her arm! It was as solemn to me as two funerals—the funeral of the body and the funeral of the soul. Be­ware, lest tlwu also be tempted!

An invalid went to South America for his health and one day sat sunning himself on the beach when he saw something crawling up the beach, wriggling toward him, and he was af­frighted. He thought it was a wild beast or a reptile, and he took his pis­tol from his pocket. Then he saw it was not a wild beast. It was a man, an immortal man, a man made in God's own image, and the poor wretch crawled up to the feet of the invalid and asked for strong drink, and the invalid took his wine flask from his pocket and gave the poor wretch something to drink, and then under the stimulus he rose up and gave his history, lie had been a merchant in Glasgow, Scotland. He had gone down under the power of strong drink un­til he was so reduced Sn poverty that he was living in a boat just off the beach. "Why," said the Invalid, "I knew a merchant in Glasgow once, a merchant of such and such a name." And the poor wretch straightened himself and said, "1 am that man."

The losa i s placed at 81,000,000. Several barges •which were moored near the pier were also destroyed and many rescues of their captains and of the members of the families on board were made. Only one life was lo^t. The 9-raonths-old daughter of Capt. Chas. Lochs, of the barge Slierwood, was drowned- The Mallory line pier was 200 feet long and 50 feet wide.

Wires were blown down in the different districts, making it im­possible to accurately sum up the dam­age done. The tornado formed a few miles south of Ellinwood and passed over the west portion of the city. At the Cheyenne bottoms, six miles north, it divided in- siardrffeTcrit directions and destroyed a great amount of property.

WAR N O T E S ,

In compnrfeon with* the casualties fiuiiered by the-lintisb,' tfoops in &outh Africa those sustained b., the American forces in the Philippines seem very small A statement just compiled' by the war department shows that from July 1, 1898, when American troops reached Manilla, until April 27, 1900, these deaths have occurred: Killed and died of wounds, 43 officers, 553 men; died of disease, 26 officers, 1,035 men; total, 69 officers, 2,187 men; grand tota\, 2,256. The war department has just issued a complete table of casualties in the 5th army corps in the operations against Santiago, from June 22 to July 17, 1898. The losses are: Killed, 21 officers, 222 enlisted men;' wounded, 101 officers, 1,344 enlisted men; total, 1,688. The 7th regular infantry lost the great­est number of men, its killed and wounded numbering 132.

Gen. Funston has discovered a rebel warehouse near Cabanutan, province of New Egjja, containing all the ar­chives of the Malolos government, Aguinaldo's correspondence up to the time of his, flight much valuable his­torical matter. The belief is growing that Aguinaldo was killed by the Igorottes. There is no proof that he has been alive since Maj. Peyton C. March of the 33d srjegiment abandoned the chase after the Filipino leader in the Benquet mountains. An insurgent officer who recently surrendered to Gen. Young says that the insurgent general, Tinio, believes Auginaldo dead. Tinio held regular communica­tion -with Aguinaldo until Dec. 28, since when he has heard nothing from him and Tinio thinks Aguinaldo would find means to communicate with him if alive.

The insurgent archives discovered by Gen. Funston include papers implicat­ing prominent foreign firms at Manila in unlawful dealings. It is reported that evidence has been obtained that some of them^"furnished munitions of war to the rebels and it is also said that the American authorities are in posses­sion from this source of a detailed plan for attacking the American forces, written by Aguinaldo, in the Tagalog language, January D, 1809, and traiis-lated into Spanish by Buencamino. No correspondence from the so-called anti-imperialist party of the United States was found.

CONGRESSIONAL N O T E S .

President Mclyinley is said to have forced an agreement between the house and senate conferees on the amend­ment to the Puerto Rican bill on April 30. Senator Foraker had previously refused point blank to accept the Cooper amendments, which were designed to prevent the exploitation of the island by mortgage syndicates and franchise grabbers. The conference was easily the most earnest and animated meet­ing which the house and senate con­ferees had held. Puerto Rico wil l have to get along for some months to come with her present military rulers, but the island is reasonably safe from the schemes of exploitation that were formed while the Foraker civil govern­ment bill was being framed. The bill became a^law on the 1st.

The «^nai»^spi>in4ttee on postoffices and pofii roads on -the 3d completed the postoffice appropriation bill. The net increase in the bill is about 91,000,000, which include* the restoration of the provision for the- pneumatic tube ser­vice first reported by the house, com­mittee. It provides 8225,000 for con­tinuing thejwesent contracts and adds 3500,000 for extension of the service t o other cities in addition to those where it has not been in use.

Of this num­ber 1,603 came-from the United-States. The total number of vessels that entered the port during March was 304.

Brandfort was captured on the 3d by a combined movement of Col. Tucker's and Gen. Pole-CarewY, divisions on the east and center and Gen. Hutton's mounted fnfantry on the west. The British surprised the Boers, Who re­treated hastily. Four thousand of the enemy were stationed there in order to oppose the British advance. Col. Tuck­er's artillery had a sharp duel with the enemy's guns and put two of them out of action.

Advices from the island of Samar say that a detatchment of the 43d volun­teers was besieged by the insurgents at Catubig for five days recently. The Americans lost 19 killed and 2 wounded during the siege. Maj. Gilmorc, upon learning of the critical situation of the detachment, sent a force which quickly scattered the insurgents and relieved the besieged force.

You know how it is—you neglect—get irregular—first suffer with a slight headache—bad taste in the mouth mornings, and general "all gone" feeling during the day—keep on goings from bad to worse until! the suffering becomes awful, life loses its charms, and there is many a one that has been driven to suicidal relief. Educate your bowels with CASCARETS. Don't neglect the slightest irregularity. See that you have one natural, easy movement each day. CASCA­RETS tone the bowels—make them strong— and after you have used them once you wiH wonder why It is that you have ever been

without them. You will find all your other disorders commence to get better at once, and sooo you wul be well by taking—

Filling all (he street with shadows at the closing pf the day,

And the lert rsyi hardly ¥»mih» we the many village boys

Make the night to ring with laughter and with every gladsome noise,

For they know that now the marshal; over them can wield*no right,

Since the ord'nance has been issued, "Curfew will not ring tonight."

Listen, patrons, to the story; how for near­ly four years past,

A.t the ringing of the curfew, all the kids have hustled fast

To their homes and to their mothers where of course they should have gone

Hours before; but had forgotten, 'till the ringing of that gong.

Now they need not listen for it, as its voice is out of eight,

Since the council met on Monday, "Curfew will not ring tonight"

Many a game that bell has ruined by its ringing far too soon

As the merry boys were playing by the dim light of the moon,

As the merry cry of "hun-co" came upon the evening air,

Grin " I spy" they were seeking their combauions in their lair.

But that time is past forever, they can play 'till morning ligjht

For the e.istom's been abolished, "(V.rfew will not ring tonight."
