EDITOR JOURNAL : A sense of grati-tude
for the weekly appearance of your
excellent paper is enough to prompt me
to this attempt, if there was no other
motive to spur me on. It is more regu-lar
than the correspondence of friends,
and keeps us in touch with people and
events which have assumed an import
anee directly proportional to the dis-tance
between us. May all your read-ers
be as anxious for the coming of
your paper as some I know “across the
pond,” to (piote the English version of
an American expression. Hut there
are other motives, as 1 have just im-plied,
each of which is sufficiently
potent to counteract the attack of
ennui so common to this section of the
world. Should my tardiness he taken
as evidence to the contrary, I pray you
to remember that summer here does
not end with July or August, but
with October or November.
I wish, Mr. Editor, you had suggest-ed
a theme to me. There are a great
many things 1 might write about. This
land teems with all kinds of subjects,
but I am like the shopper who tries to
select a shirt waist from a hundred die
played before her and is the less de-cided
the more she sees: I am confound-ed
by the any number of them. I be-lieve
it I had two or three things only,
I could select one without much hesita-tion.
However. I imagine I can do no
better than say a few things about the
Greek language, without any intention
of writing a text book on modern
Greek, but wishing simply to be of en-couragement
to those who may be un-decided
as to the use in all this worry
over a language which is generally
considered longer dead than that other
bug-bear of school days Latin.
Of course, we are always confronted
with the good, old reasons, sound ones,
too, let me emphasize, for the study of
any ancient language in which a Virgil
or a Homer, a Cicero or a Demosthenes
wrote and spoke. Theirs were litera-ture
and history, philosophy, religion
and poetry, all in one, the works of
master-builders in the history of nations
which have ruled not only through the
centuries of their actual existence, but
through the greater icon which has
followed. No boy or girl, to whom the
greater opportunity comes, ought to be
content with the Homer of Pope, or the
Virgil of Dryden—masterpieces, too, in
their way. but as far removed from the
spirit of their authors, as the age of the
one from the age of the other. A great
many people made these translations
with profit, as they made other master-pieces
in English literature, but this
fact does not warrant those who have
the opportunity of delving in the origi-nals
in following their example. I say
nothing here, beyond the mere mention,
of the great mind trainer the study of
language is found to be, useless as the
tedious process may seem, sometimes,
to those who are eager to leap into
affairs and make themselves felt as
powers in the business world. It is
upon these and similar reasons that we
have been long accustomed to base our
plea for ancient language study.
But there is still a more potent reason
for those who haye a feeling of repug-nance
in treading among the dry bones
of the dead. The Greek language is
not dead but alive, and as such ought
to be .classed among the living lan-guages.
It is true the educated Greek
does not speak the language of Homer,
no more do we the language of Chaucer,
nor yet that of Xenophon or Herodotus.
In fact, as he terms it, he speaks no
Greek as we Americans speak it, under
the very plausible theory that no such
Greek was ever spoken by anyone. But
so great is the similarity between the
Greek of Herodotus and Xenophon and
the Greek as it is printed in the daily
newspapers of Greece that the boy who
knows his Anabasis well will find no
great difficulty in deciphering a column
in the paper. He will need a lexicon,
of course, for the words are not the
i ntentheu exelaunei of Xenophon; he will
have to learn a few modern construc-tions
which have crept into the lan-guage.
or I might say, lie will need to
unlearn a few of his antiquated syn-tactical
rules, and he must acquire a
new method of pronunfciation if he ex-pects
to read aloud. But all these are
but the work of a brief effort, and the
student of the Ancient Greek is on a
fair way to become the master of the
modern.

AN IGLY FAIL. ’
"Doc” Tinstinan Topples Out of a Second
Story Window.
L. S. Tinstinan, the well known facing
mill man, met with an ugly accident
Monday afternoon and, while he was
severely hurt, his injuries, fortunately,
did not prove serious.
“Doc,” as everybody calls him, had
dropped into the United Brethren
church to see how Brother Rev. Moore,
the A. M. E. Zion pastor, was getting
along cleaning up and decided to take
a-hand with a rag on the windows. He
swung out of one on the alley side and
was [Hitting the nicest kind of a polish
on the glass when his hand hold slipped
and he fell to the ground, some fifteen
feet below. Rev. Moore grabbed for
him and only got a piece of the rag that
was torn in two between the two men.
Mr. Tinstman, although he started
out head first, turned in the descent and
landed on his feet, the force of the fall
throwing him back against the church
and cutting a deep gash on the top of
his head. His back was also hurt so
that he had to be carried home.
A PRETTY WEDDING.
Marriage of Mr. Samuel Lowe and Miss
Ray Moran.
Mr. Samuel H. Lowe, second son and
chief clerk of David Pc Lowe, the vet-eran

evening at 8 o'clock at the bride's East
End home in the presence of the im-mediate
friends of the young principals,
the only out-of-town guests being Cap-tain
and Mrs. D. S. Wilkins, of Wilkins-burg.
The pretty Methodist Episcopal
service was that used by the officiating
clergyman, the Rev. Charles L. Smith,
and at the close of the ceremony an ele-gant
sapper was served.
At 9 o'clock the handsome young vet-eran
of the Spanish-American war and
his pretty bride, who was the recipient
of many beautiful presents, were driven
to Connellsville where they took a train
for a bridal trip. They will make
Mount Pleasant their home.
THE POLITICAL WAVS
Many of These are Already Known to “Journal” Subscribers hut will
Prove of Interest this Week to the Thousands of New Head-ers
for Whose Special Benefit the Nice little
Bunch is Set forth at Some length,,
iM or LOUR NOMINATIONS WAS HONLST.
As the November election is scarcely a montli away
THE JOURNAL believes that the time is at hand when the
Republicans of Westmoreland comity should be presented
with some plain facts in regard to the public life of Hon.
John H. Brown, who was appointed Controller by Governor
Stone and who now seeks their votes that he may be eon-tinned
in that newly created office, to fill which he is in no
way fitted. This paper has nothing personal against Mr.
Brown, or any other candidate, for that matter; it simply
believes that the people of this county would make a serious
mistake l>,y electing hiip, and plainly says so. It will give
them the facts. They can then think it out for themselves
and do their own voting.
Mr. Brown broke into politics some ten years ago,
shortly after gas was struck on his Grapevillo farms, and
was chairman of the County Committee in no time at all,
more deserving party workers being excused as they
were unable to tell just what job he was aiming at. lie
never looked at the chair until lie was ready to sit down in
it. The Republican ticket was elected that fall and he at
once began to lay the ropes to succeed Hon. E. E. Robbins
in the State Senate. Defeating Hon. John G. Foight for the
nomination, he was elected to the Upper House in 18!}“ the
only office to which he was honestly entitled.
Two years later Mr. Brown thought he heard the con
gressional bee buzzing, although he still had two years to serve
in the State Senate, and opposed Mr. Robbins for the
county nomination. When the returns from the primary
election came in it was found that lie was shy on votes, but
the Grapevillo statesman didn’t allow a little thing like that
to worry him. John B. Steele, Esq., now Judge of the
Orphans Court, also by appointment, as well as a candidate
on the same ticket to succeed himself, was County Chair-man
and, when Mr. Brown challenged the returns for the
Export district where he had received but two votes, Mr.
Steele very obligingly appointed an investigating committee
of three members. Mr. Brown's men were Captain William
M. Jordan, of this place, and Dr. R. B. Hammer, of Groens-burg,
who has since achieved fame as a discoverer of
numerous and expensive smallpox cases at different points
throughout the county. The third member who represented
Mr. Robbins was Hon. James S. Beacom, of Greensburg.
Captain Jordan now admits that the investigation was a
farce so far as he and his medical side partner were con.
cerned. They could not find any trace of even irregularity,
but they did have Mr. Brown’s order, which was ; “THROW
THAT DISTRICT OUT IF IT TAKES THE STARS OUT OF HEAVEN
TO DO IT ! ’’ And throw it out they did after putting Mr.
Beacom in the chair where he had to put th; motion to
throw which carried 2 to 1. This gave Mr. Brown the
county nomination, but it was an empty honor as Hon. Daniel
Broadhead Heiner, of Armstrong county, again got the dis-trict
nomination and was re-elected.
If Mr. Brown couldn’t go to Congress he didn't care to
give up his seat in (the State Senate, for which he sought
renomination in 1896, his opponent being David A. Miller,
Esq., of Greensburg, who should have been, and by right
was, the nominee. Mr. Brown, however, won out by hold-ing
back the Jeannette returns that gave him MORE VOTES
THAN THERE WERE AT THAT TIME VOTERS IN BOTH PARTIES
IN THAT TOWN. Mr. Brown had a majority of the conven-tion
that did the counting and the steal went through all
right and he was re-elected to the Senate.
In the late primary election campaign when John D.
Hitchman, of this place, and Mr. Brown were the opposing
candidates, County Chairman Robert Rankin, with the ap-proval
of Judge Steele, did all he could, as the alleged head
of the party organization, for his master, Mr. Brown, re-fusing
even to announce Mr. Hitchman’s name until forced
to do so by Attorney General Elkin. He did this so as to
have the return judges name a man for Controller and that
man would have been Mr. Brown, of course. Defeated in
this, he did the next best thing—started the party machine
to work for Mr. Brown.
That John D. Hitchman, of this place, who opposed Mr.
Brown for the Controllership nomination, had a majority of
the votes cast at the late Republican primary election there
is little room for doubt. The Brown people virtually ad-mitted
such was the case when they refused to accept Mr.
Hitchman's offer made on the floor of the convention, setting
forth his willingness to abide by the face of the returns.
Mr. Brown himself could not have said he was defeated in
any plainer terms than when he held up the Arnold vote. The
result was the appointment of a contest committee by Chair-man
Rankin who named two other willing Brown tools as
the majority members, with whom the Hitchman represen-tative
declined to serve as he understood the committee
would meet in the day time. And the Committee counted
Mr. B^own in.

Impressions received l>.v a

of tlie greatest Importance for

boob of Genesis represents Jacob as

Plato, in harmony with the gen-eral

that beautiful statues should lie frequent In public places In order to impress
the liiiest forms on tlie imagination of mothers.
In tlie middle ages psychic qualities were also believed to he impressed.
The fear of James I for a naked sword due to fright on Ids mother's part is a
typical case. At tlie present day tlie belief is widespread. Mrs. Mnrholme
attributes the deficient forms of the present generation of men to modern

erations.
Dr. Drzewiockl of tlie University of Warsaw cites tlie case of ills own
child, which was born with a mark on its leg In the same place where he him-self
had been wounded while swimming. This accident occurred during
the first month of Ids wife's pregnancy, and she bail been shocked and fright-ened
by tlie sight of the wound.
Supplementing the evidence of tills character. Dr. Hunter lias collected
2,U(ld cases where mothers were asked in every instance before tlie Dirtli of
the child if they had experienced any apprehension or mental emotion which
they might think would cause any mark or deformity, and, although admis-sions
of tills kind were very frequent and although many of the 11.000 children
were marked in some way or another, in not one single ease did the resulting
mark correspond with the apprehension of the mother. It Is easy to see that
if the opportunity had been given after instead of before the appearance of
the child It would lie a very unimaginative woman Indeed who would not lie
able to remember something In her experience which the Irregularity of de-velopment
could not suggest.
It must be observed that a very slight acquaintance with the science of
embryology discounts a large number of these stories. Different organs have
different periods of development. The skill is not differentiated as a special
organ until comparatively late. The most distant portions of the extremities
are developed first, the lingers before tlie palm, the hand before the forearm,
the forearm before the arm proper. Generally speaking, the portions at tlie
sides of the body are developed before the parts In the middle, the joining of
the two halves occurring later. Each outer half of the eye develops before
the Inner half. The various organs and even parts <.i' organs have their nascent
periods, and if we hear of a shock which is said to have occasioned hare-lip.
for example, which has been received after the period when the two
separately developed halves of the palate normally unite to form a single
palate (between the ages of 8 and 10 weeks of fetal life), we can be abso-lutely
certain that this shock lias had no effect in producing the deformity,
since the deformity lias already been In existence in the form presented at
birth before the advent of the so called impression. Harelip and cleft palate
are very common defects, occurring, according to Dr. Hatfield of Chicago, in
22 out of 100 cases of maternal impression reported to him. They are
plainly Instances of arrested development, taking place at the time when
the two halves of tlie palate should have been Joined together. .Lack of
developmental energy on the part of the child at this time from whatever
cause finds its expression In tills defect. No shock or fright on the part of the
mother, even if it were possible to communicate it to tlie child, could possibly
have any effect after this time.
Cyclops, or one eyed monsters, to take another example, ure due to nil
arrest in development after the two outer halves, lint before tlie two Inner
halves, of the eyes are developed. The arrest of development at this point
then ceases, and at the proper time the two outer halves arc joined. The sin-gle
eye is thus derived from I wo outer halves of separate eyes, and the organs
between, including the nose, are absent.
As Dr. Kierunn of Chicago lias forcibly pointed out, the most of the cases
reported are distinctly arrests of development and <lo not represent even
remotely photographic reproductions of impressions. A woman sees her en-raged
husband out off three toes from tlie right loot of a chicken. She fears
her child will lie marked. As anticipated, her child is horn with three
stubs of fingers on his rigid hand. Further examination, however, reveals
the fact that the lingers arc perfectly formed, with complete nails, and do
not represent anything cut off. It is an arrest of development occurring nt a
definite period in embryonic life, and only if the shock occurred nt this spe-cial
time, which does not appear, could it have anything to do with the de-formity.
The conception of arrest of development focuses the attention upon the
inner forces of growth rather than upon the external impressions. Parental
Influences f.%mi tills standpoint extend far beyond the period of gestation or
the life of the Individual. The germ plasm from which every human being
develops lias lived for many millions of years, in the line of descent, between
the first germ cell and every cell which now composes human bodies, there lias
never been u single cell which lias ever died. The cells which did die are not
the ancestors ol’ any of those which arc now alive. We do not inherit death,
but life, and death of certain groups of cells Is only an acquisition in the strug-gle
for existence to permit of larger life. Tlie germ plasm may be regarded
as a continuous race root stock from which individuals hud, like the shoots
which come up from nn underground stem in spring. Individuals are ex-pressions
of the root stock or germ plasm. The germ plasm Is riot the ex-pression
of individuals. It is nearly as true to say that n man inherits from
his immediate children as to say that his immediate children inherit from
him. Tlie truth is that every individual inherits not from another individual,
but from the race stock of which they ure both expressions. When hereditnry
blindness appears in a family, statistics stiow that it Is as likely to be
transmitted by the brother or sister who is not blind as by the one who is.
Individuals are thus produced ns experiments by the race stock or germ
plasm ami are thrown off anil die.
Tin’ geru; plasm, however, as AVeismann himself admits, is subject to iu-
"fluenee by its environment in the bodies of individuals which contain it.
These influences, however, are never special and can all be regarded ns
either producing better nutrition or arresting development by interfering
with nutrition. The same thing is true of the embryo.
It is perfectly true that psychic disturbances, if sufficiently severe and
continued for a sufficient length of time, are associated with and may oc-casion
a defective nutritive condition of the blood and tlius cause an arrest
of development. The progress of the race is dependent upon the increase of
and the perfection of the embryonic processes. To add to nature in na-ture's
way we must increase the protecting influences. Not only the em-bryo,
but for its sake the mother also must be removed from the strain. This
does not mean inertia, hut a hygienic life, which will produce a well aerated,
pure and healthy blood, capable of supplying the best nutrient material for
the independent organizing forces of the child. The superstition In favor
or photographic maternal Impressions, apart from natural maternal conceit,
has probably also hail some biological significance in emphasizing the protec-tion
of the mother, not so much through her imagination, but through that of
the husband and the rest of society. When the vast range of heredity was
undreamed of, it was natural to overestimate the period of gestation. At
present, however, we see that the continuous fears of psychic impressions,
by lowering nutritive vigor, are likely to be more injurious than any irregu-lar
Impressions themselves can possibly be. Mothers should be protected
from this fear of fears.
The facts of science Imply as follows: The impressions which a mother
receives have no direct bearing on the child. The function of the mother dur-ing
gestation is simply the [Missive production of nourishment, it is before
conception rather than ufter and not directly, but by n profess of sexual se-lection
pertaining to all the powers involved In falling in love or other means
of mating, that the real psychic Influences that will affect the next genera-tion
are determined. The constitution, both physical and psychic: the Imag-ination,
the Intellect, the emotions revealed and appreciated in this golden
aura of life, are the most decisive prenatal influences within the life of the
Individual. The full discussion of this, however, must be reserved for another
lesson.

Tells How Much Doctors Use Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
A Correct Likeness
Guaranteed
Has Yet To Hear of Its Failure To Cure.
It is not infrequent that information comes to our attention proving that
the medical profession in general prescribe large quantities of Lydia 13.
IHlikliillll’s Vegetable Compound in their private practise.
It is a fact beyond dispute that nowhere is to be found a remedy so
universally successful in curing female ills, and tho broad-minded physician
of to-day is quick to recognize his duty to his patient, and does not hesitate to
prescribe tlie best medicine he can find,— the medicine that is surest and
quickest to bring relief to his patient j for this very reason thousands of tlie
very best physicians are prescribing in their treatment of female ills Lydia
E. Fink ham's Vegetable Compound, while not in the original bottles
perhaps, but in plain prescription battles with tlieir own or druggists’ name.
It is our pleasure and our privilege to publish a letter from a graduate
nurse whose reputation and prominence in her profession lends much weight
to her opinions, and whose testimony goes to prove our statements in regard
to tlie high esteem in which Lydia 13. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound
is held by our leading physicians and trained nurses.

“ DEAR MRS. PIXKIIAM: — Twelve rears continuous service at the
sick beds in some of our prominent hospitals, its well as tit private homes,
has given mo varied experiences wi111 the diseases of women. I have
nursed some most distressing cases of inflammation and ulceration of
the ovaries and womb. I have known that doctors used Lydia 13.
Pinkhiiiii’s Vegetable Compound when everything else failed with
their patients. I have advised my patients and friends to use it, and
have yet to hear of its first failure to cure.
“ Four years ago I had falling of the womb from straining in lifting
a heavy patient, and knowing of the values of your Compound I began to
use it at once, and in six weeks I was well once more, and have had no
trouble since. I am most pleased to have had an opportunity to say a
few words in praise of your Vegetable Compound, and shall take every
occasion to recommend it.”—Miss VIRGINIA GRANES, 444 So. Spring St.,
Los Angeles, Cal. [Present address.] '»
Be it, therefore, believed by all women who are ill tlmt Lydia
E. Pinkhiiin’s Vegetable Compound is the medicine they should
take. It lias stood the test of time, and it lias hundreds of thou-sands
of cures to its credit. It should, therefore, be considered
unwise to experiment further.
Mrs. PinkhiUii.whose address is Lynn, Mass., will answer cheer-fully
and without cost, nil letters addressed to her by sick women.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, lOOI.
As Judged From the Past Week's
Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL.
Normal Conditions Have Been Restored
In the Distribution of Merchandise
the Placing: of Delayed Orders Having
Stimulated the Few Lines that Had
Appeared to Halt, While the Steel Out-put
is on the Increase.
Normal conditions have been fully
restored in the distribution of merchan-dise,
the placing of delayed ordars stim-ulating
the few lines that appeared to
halt. One of the most gratifying feat-ures
of the business situation is the pro-nounced
preference for the better grades
of goods, clearly indicating the im-proved
financial condition of consumers.
Resumption of work progressed rapidly
in the steel industry since the settle-ment
of the labor controversy, and there
is little discord between the employer
and employed in other lines. Stability
of prices, without inflation, is the rule,
escept where the unusual size of crops
introduces a special factor.
, Steel production is now propressing
at nearly the average rate. There are
interruptions and delays through in-ability
to secure special lines of mater-ial,
and higher prices are quoted for
both steel and iron bars, steel billets
and some other forms. In pig iron
there was the greatest activity since the
strike began, most brands reaching
higher prices. Sales of 85,000 tons
Bessemer at valley furnaces were re-ported,
equal to $16 delivered at Pitts-burg.
Other large orders were under negoti-ation,
and producers look for a rising
market, Higher prices for billets were
partially nominal, owing to the impossi-bility
of securing deliveries, but a free
movement is anticipated shortly. A
record breaking output of steel rails is
practically assured for 1001, and the
new year will open-with an unparallel
ed volume of business on the books.
Plates and structural material are very
strong.
The market for footwear is still on a
strong basis.
Leather and hides still reflect the
heavy demand for finished products,
and exports are also a sustaining feature.
Textile lines were well engaged as a
rule, much better news being received
> from cotton spinners at the north, and
Southern mills are busy, though there
is less night work. Wool is quiet but
firm.
Investigation of the cotton situation
throughout the entire belt reveals an
extremely uncertain state of affairs.
At many points the ciop is beyond
danger so far as frost is concerned,
while on some plantations this is the
only factor that cau prevent an increase
over the previous yield.
There is no doubt regarding the heavy
losses sustained in Texas, but the tenor
of reports from Atlantic states promises
to more than make up the deficiency.
Steadiness in ([notations of corn at
the present high level is all that pro-ducers
could desire. Making full nl
lowance for the smaller yield, and the
decrease in exports, which has thns far
been much greater proportionately,
there does not appear to be satisfactory
reason for the rise of 15 cents over last
year’s figures and 35 cents over the price
at this date in 1899. Shipments from
from the Atlantic coast for the week
were 738,020 bushels, against 1,560,018
bushels last year, and 2,954,477 bushels
two years ago. A heavier movement is
expected, owing to large buying for
foreign account, secured through low
rates for transportation.
Wheat is well sustained and still bet-ter
prices are promised by the heavy ex-port
movement, which from all United
States ports for the week reached 5,268,-
413 bushels, flour included, against 3,-
557, 482 bushels last year, and 4,605,362
bushels in 1899. Western receipts of 8,-
292,456 bushels exceed even the liberal
shipments in 1900 of 6,954,777 bushels,
Failures for the week were 227 in the
United States against 204 last year, and
31 in Canada against 18 last year.

* THAT ARNOLD OUTRAGE.
When it became evident in the last
Republican primary election campaign
that Mr. Brown had not received unite
as many votes as Mr. Hitchman for Con-troller,
the same old tactics were resorted
to by the Grapevine statesman. With
uplifted hands Senator Brown appealed
to the convention in God’s name to
purge the party and purify politics: to
throw out the vote of Arnold; to ap-point
a committee to investigate; to do
anything in short to spare the dilapi-dated
political hulk which was drifting
toward the rocks. And he asked all
this in the name of his God Whom he
was again about to offend. It all
seemed so much like another case of
Satan rebuking sin.
To the friends of Mr. Brown it seems
a remarkable thing that it has probably
never occurred to him that there is
such a thing as decency in politics.
The specters of a man’s political past
will oftimes rise up to haunt him when
he least expects them. When ft man
deliberately steals a nomination there
will always he people unkind enough
to remind him of it and when Mr.
Brown asked to have a committee ap-pointed
to investigate the Arnold vote
it is not to be wondered at that visions
of Export appeared to Beacom, Rob-bins,
Seanor, Hitchman and others and
was it not natural that they should de-nounce
the methods of the political
freebooters V In justice to themselves
they could not but protest against the
rights of the people of Arnold being
handed over to such past masters in
political iniquity.
And Brown today is appealing to the
people to save him from the conse-quences
of his political misdeeds; to
forget his record of shame and to save
him just once more. But whether or
not the people of the county will make
themselves a party to the Controller’s
iniquity by supporting him in his cam-paign
remains to be seen. THE JOUR-NAL
declines to believe it.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
John C. Jndge, a Brooklyn, N. Y.,
lawyer, declares he has made a discov-ery
in state and national laws which
will he of lunch benefit to the men who
enlisted for service in the Spanish-
American war. Mr. Judge will not make
public the date of the laws hut says
that under the state bounty law every
man in that state who enlisted is en-titled
to$N-l and that under the Federal
bounty law each man is entitled to $104.
making $27(S for each man. He has
been retained by 3,000 of the enlisted
men and has presented their claims.
If these clams are allowed the young
Pennsylvania veterans would he entitled
to at least $104 each, and we would like
to see them get it. However, we would
advise the Company E hoys, who saw
service in the Philippines, not to spend
their bounty money before it is paid to
them.
A VERY WARM NUMBER.
Last week's issue of THE JOURNAL
was a very warm political number, if
we are to judge from the way the G.
O. P. bosses in Greensbnrg were stirred
up. Why, it is said that while Com-missioner
Gay was perusing a copy—
the Lord only knows where he got it
the telephone wires, heated either by lan
guage used or a cross with an electric
light line, set fire to the woodwork in
the office and for a time the flames
threatened to destroy the new tem-porary
court house. That's no joke,
either, as we will send a' subpoena for
“•Nels” if there are any doubting
ThoumseH among the readers this week.
Such incidents are really flattering
and, as we propose to fight it out on
that line until the November polls close,
there will very likely be some more
articles of the snipe kind. We must,
yon know, do all we can to keep the
six votes, credited to us by Controller
Brown, lined up against him until after
the election.
glad when he renched the safety of his
cell.

THE BIGELOWS* DAY.
Recorder Brown's lieutenants have
just given State Senator Flinn's Pitts-burg
ring another terrible jolt by lop-ping
off the heads of a half hundred or
so of the different city department heads
and their assistant bosses, and that, too,
immediately following a mass meeting
that was addressed by Governor Stone
who, the Flinnites supposed, would de
pose the Recorder if the latter allowed
any of the ringsters in office to he dis-turbed.
But, of course, that belief was
somewhat shaken when “Old Man"
Quay got back from the Maine woods
nml took a hand in the Stone-Flinn
Elkin game.
Since that time the Attorney General
and Governor have both been good:
while, without his partners, "Billy’'
Flinti hasn’t been able to take a single
trick. Truly, it would seem that the
Bigelows’ day has come.

Noted Evangelist.
Mrs. Peake will begin a series of evan-gelistic
meetings in the United Presby-terian
church Sabbath evening next.
The lady is a very attractive and popu-lar
speaker, and one of the most suc-cessful
evangelists of the U. P. church.
Those who make a choice of a place for
church attendance will do well to give
her a hearing. It is hoped that church
members generally may he interested
in her afternoon Bible studies and even-ing
meetings, and attend at such times
as do not conflict with their own ser
vices.
Happy Wedding Anniversary.
One of the happiest of gatherings was

Mrs. Edward Shaw Saturday evening
when some fifty of their friends, beat-ing
good gifts and all manner of boss
eatings, dropped in unexpectedly to
properly celebrate the twentieth anni-versary
of their hosts’ marriage. Fol-lowing
a splendid repast the company
spent the balance of the evening in
most enjoyable social intercourse. Mrs.
Shaw was the recipient of a fine china
dinner set.

to record the fact that he was a
hero for an hour or more. That is, he
sought to he a identic Brother with the
others. He put up with everything
and kicked at nothing, and had the cat
at home been there to see that bland
smile on his face she would have tyeon
deceived Into the belief that he was
taking solid comfort. Even when Mrs.
Bowser asked him to explain how It
was thnt so many Gentle Brothers had
happened to get out of state prison at
once he preserved that Stride as he re-plied:
“My dear woman, they are out to en-joy
themselves for the day, and tlielr
exultation cannot be entirely restrain-ed.
When we reach tlie Island, we will
go off by ourselves to eat our lunch.”
lie had been told by a Gentle Broth-er
and he lmd told Mrs. Bowser in
turn that the Island was a sylvan
grove and that a thousand people could
lose themselves in the shady nooks and
cool retreats. When it was reached,
however, things looked different. It
was an Island with three seraggly old
trees growing in the center, and there
were 12 blades of grass, one burdock
and two thistles as ornaments. The
G. B.'s made no kick, however. They
rushed ashore with tlielr lunch baskets
and had their kegs of beer rolled after
them, and their gambols were full of
happiness, and tlielr voices told only
of merriment. Mrs. Bowser objected to
going ashore, but Mr. Bowser patiently
argued the point with her and carried
It. They had to take a sent on a rock
iu the hot stm, and neither of them
could eat a mouthful of lunch, but they
had got along very well when Mr. Bow-ser
was asked to join in the games,
lie excused himself, hut the Gentle
Brothers wouldn’t have it that way.
lie had been impolitic enough to boast
that he could jump higher thnn any
one in the club, and now they wanted
to witness the feat. When he contin-ued
to claw off, half a dozen men seiz-ed
him and dragged him forth, and the
climax came. Thnt is, Geutle Brother
Bowser broke loose and tendered his
resignation on the spot and told the
other G. B.'s what lie thought of them,
nml of course the fraternal spirit didn’t
pervade after that. On the contrary,
they looked upon him as a haughty out-cast
and felt that he should be made an
example of.
Mrs. Bowser will never he able to
tell whether all the 350 Gentle Broth-ers
pitched on to Mr. Bowser at once,
hut what she saw was a crowd sur-rounding
him and tossing him hack
and forth nml rolling him over and
over and keeping him busy for ten
’minutes. Then they threw him Into
the water and hauled him out again,
and she was permitted to claim his re-mains.
They were not altogether dead.
When they had been fanned for half
nn hour, they sighed nml opened their
eyes, and a conscience stricken G. B.
assisted her to get them aboard the
boat and prop them up in a eliair. It
was two hours after that before the
boat started, and she was two hours
making the trip home, but during those
four long hours the remains never once
uttered a word. They simply sat and
stared into vacancy. A few of the
Gentle Brothers came around and said

THREW HIM INTO THE WATER AND HAULED HIM OUT AGAIN.
Plio grew hopeful and was even a little
enthusiastic ns they left the house.
When they reached the dock, they
found quite a large number of Broth-ers
assembled, and Mrs. Bowser was
somewhat astonished at the dress and
manners of most of them. It was a
“horsy” crowd, us near as she could
make out, and several men had pre-pared
for the day by taking several
drinks. There were u few women, hut
they did not greet each other In u “sis-terly"
way. A number of men slapped
Mr. Bowser ou the hack and called him
old man, and before the boat came
along there was n little row In which
one Gentle Brother hit anotller on the
nose, but Mrs. Bowser didn’t see any
way to get out of it unless she fell
dead.
For the first half hour after the boat
got away the Geutle Brothers were
fairly geutle with each other. They
had to he. The boat was so crowded
that they couldn't get free play for the
elbows. It was only after a number of
them fell asleep and were corded up
between decks that the others began to
enjoy the day. As Mr. Bowser had
predicted, a fraternal spirit prevailed.
It was so fraternal that the Brothers

fCONTINUED.1
Since tlie entry of the two girls Into
the camp 1 had suffered one terror aft-er
another In quick succession, and
now It struck me that In cose Jack suc-ceeded
In fascinating this lawless group
some of them, fired with a desire of
possession, would,break through all re-straint.
1 had been wonderstruck that
two defenseless girls should dare to
come among them, and now I was stu-pefied
that Jack should dance before
them and that Helen should permit her
to do so. But who shall measure the
strength of woman’s weakness? Moth-er
Nature had taught Jack nnd Helen
their power, and they went about their
work with not a tithe of the fright that
possessed me.
Meanwhile Jaqueline had drifted In-to
the dance and was whirling, bend-ing,
floating, every muscle alive with
its especial motion. At times she
would lull, poise herself for n moment,
then, like a fitful wind, start again
with renewed fervor. At no time could
there be discovered aught but delicate
refinement in her movements, and now
it was her purpose to attract without
exciting her spectators. Stimulated by
frequent bursts of applause and by
the rapt attention of the men surround-ing
her, she found her main Incentive
in a far deeper, nobler motive, feeling,
as she did. the critical situation, the
dread responsibility, for a human life
resting upon her.
What a singular scene! The ring of
ugly faces momentarily softened by
the sight of grace and beauty; the cap-tain.
his sharp face turning with the
dancer and following her wherever she
goes; Pete Holliday, standing with
folded arms, lowering from under the
broad brim of his sombrero, grinding
his quid; Ginger’s black face gleaming
with pride at furnishing the music for
his young mistress, inspiring her with
his own Inspired melody: little Buck,
standing between two lank-guerrillas
in “butternut,” staring at his cousin
and forgetful of her danger in his inter-est
in her work; Helen Stanforth,
standing apart, her strong face wear-ing
the expressic -of a general who
watches a cavalry charge Intended to
turn a position on which hangs the fate
of the day,
The guerrillas, not one of whom
would hesitate to slit a throat at the
slightest prospect of gain, were watch-ing
the little soubrette not only with
admiration, but with respect. Once
during her performance one of the men
applauded with a ribald remark. lie
was standing by the captain, who
stretched his arm. brought it down
with a backward stroke and sent the
mati sprawling. Jaquellne saw the
act and the approving looks of the out-laws,
who were in no mood to have
their sport interrupted. The color left
her cheeks, but she kept right on, and
the episode passed without further con-sequences.
At a moment when the attention of
the men had become riveted upon the
dancer Helen, who had been gradually
working her way from the group to-ward
me. came and sat down on the
log behind Ginger, where she was par-tially
screened by him. Watching her
opportunity, she deftly took a revolver
from her pocket and concealed it in
the folds of her dress. With her eyes
fixed upon the group about Jack, she
waited for n burst of applause, and
when It came, reaching back, she drop-ped
the weapon behind the log at my
feet; then, rising, rejoined the circle. I
pushed the revolver under the log with
the toe of ray boot, then kicked dust
and leaves over it. This accomplished,
1 breathed the most comfortable sigh
of relief I have ever drawn in my life.
The whole situation seemed changed
by that little dust covered combination
of bits of metal. Stooping, 1 slipped it
into the leg of my boot and felt that
half the battle was won.
At that moment the setting sun came
out from behind a cloud and shot
lances of light through the trees, cover-ing
the group-the beautiful nnd the
ugly, the good and the bad, the refined
and ihe vulgar—with gilded splendor.
1 saw but Jaqueline. The usual fitful-ness
of her disposition, her natural ex-pression
of careless indifference, had
given place to a serious intensity de-noting
a great purpose. Poising herself
between two movements, the gilding
rays shone on her forehead. Then dart-ing
on her toes to another part of the
ring, a quick succession of lights and
shades passed over her brow, a glitter-ing
diadem of sun flashes. Truly God
is a wonderful artist, since he can
touch even a dance with celestial pu-rity.
Helen Stanforth turned to me. Pull-ing
her sunbonnet forward so as to
conceal her face from the others,
though they were too iDtent on Jaque-line
to notice her, she moved her lips,
and though no sound came I knew she
intended the word:
“Go!”
Near me was a tree, not far from
that another, underbrush, bushes—just
the cover through which to make a re-treat.
I could easily get down behind
the log, crawl into the thicket and
away. Now for the first time the pur-pose
of dear Jaqueline was fully ap-parent
But how could I leave these friends
who had risked so much, accomplished
so much, for me? I stood still and
shook my head.
Again Helen looked an order lor mo
to go.
“Not without the others,” 1 whis-pered.
Sitting down on the log so as to lie
nearer to me, she replied in a low
voice:
“Wo will leave here when you are
safely away. She will dance on to keep
them from knowing you have gone. We
have planned It so.”
“They will know you connived at my
escape and murder you.”
“Why should they? Go nt once, or I
shall consider you an ingrate."
Sho looked so noxious, they had all
made such a noble effort In my behalf,
that I could not find It in my heart to
disappoint them.
I slipped behind the tree, dropped to
the ground and wriggled like a snake
through the underbrush: then, rising,
darted away.
A dozen yards—fifty—a hundred. The
music of Ginger’s banjo dies as sudden-ly
as the clang of a bell on a passing
engine. Will one minute or five pass
before I am missed? A distant burst of
applause—God bless the dear little
dancer! Before me Is an open space,
then a dense clump of trees, if I can
reach that thicket I can make a quick
digression, nnd this may throw my
pursuers off my track.
A confusion of yells, a bullet whis-tling
by my ear. I reach the wood nnd
push on through it, not daring to lose
distance by digression with an enemy
close behind me. My feet becoming
entangled in a vine, i stumble and fall.
A weight comes down on me. crushing
the breath out of me. It is nil over.
Panting, bleeding, white as a ghost,
I am led back to the guerrilla camp.
"Shoot him!”
"Gimme a rope ofTen that pack mule!”
“Tie him on a critter an send him
down the mounting!”
A babel of brutal suggestions came
from the different members of the
band, sounding to me, stunned ns I
was. like final random shots nt the
slaughter of a “forlorn hope.” Amid
the clamor I saw but one sight—Helen
nnd Jack locked In each other’s arms,
paralyzed with terror.
“Stand back, men!” cried the cap-tain,
pushing his way toward me.
“Have yo' forgot the money?"
“Stand back!” roared Ilalllday. “He
belongs to me an Tom Jayeox! We |
tuk him!”
The captain’s authority, tints support- j
ed, saved me from immediate death. 1
Pantiny anil, blecdinij, I am led back to
the (jucrrilia camp.
The men who were crowding around
me gave way, a cord was brought, and
my wrists nnd ankles were securely
bound. No one seemed to suspect that
Jack’s dance had anything to do with
my flight, except that I had taken ad- i
vantage of the relaxed vigilance to 1
make the attempt Having tied me,
they threw me to the ground, Ilalllday
giving me a parting kick; a man was
deputed to watch me, and the band, ac-customed
to such episodes, left me to
turn again to what was far more inter-esting
to them. t
CHAPTER XI.
STEALING T1IE GUNS.
AQUELINE once more became an
object of undivided interest. The
men crowded about her, staring
at her, uttering exclamations of
admiration, vainly seeking a way to
do her honor. Presently they cut snp-lings,
out of which they constructed a
rude chair, decorating it with twigs,
and one ill favored bandit, to whom
nature had imparted a spark of art.
gathered wild flowers with which to
put on finishing touches. When the
seat was completed, the men looked
awkwardly at Jack, and the captain,
presenting the tips of his fingers, led
her to her improvised throne. Helen.
who at the first sign that I was to be
temporarily spared had recovered her
equanimity and bad infused some of
her restored courage into Jack, saw at
once the advantage of keeping up her
cousin’s popularity. Seizing some of
the flowers, she wove them on a frame-work
of green twigs into a circular gar-land
and insisted on crowning the fa-vorite,
not queen of May, for Mny had
not yet come, but queen of a mouth far
more appropriate—April.
By this time night had come on, a
soaring fire was lighted, and the guer-rillas,
forming a ring of which Jack
was the gem, threw themselves on the
ground aim listened to nor enut. tier
songs, her stories, their fire lighted
faces standing out of the gloom in
grim contrast with her refined beauty.
The captain, with his superior breed-ing,
served ns n link between her nnd
his in MI, keeping them in check ami
stimulating their admiration by his
own. if Jack tlagged for a moment be-tween
her stories and her songs, Helen
was quick in suggest new ones, and oc-casionally
both were relieved by little
Buck, who would throw In some quaint
remark typical of that peculiar crea-ture,
the American boy.
So long as tlie songs nnd stories last-ed
there was nothing to precipitate
trouble, but tlie entertainment could
not go on all night, and I began to
dreyd the moment when the girls
should attempt to take their departure.
Presently Helen In a firm voice said:
“Come, it’s time for us to go.”
Shouts of "No!” “A dance!” “A song!”
greeted the proposition, and the guer-rillas
began to form In groups to resist
an exit. Helen, selecting the noisiest
knot of men, drew a revolver from her
pocket nnd, cocking it, moved toward
them with her eyes fixed upon them,
calm and steady. Whether It was that
they were cowed by the weapon or ad-mired
this evidence of woman’s pluck,
they opened a way. The captain, seiz-ing
the opportunity, quickly took Jack
by the hand and led her after her
cousin. Once beyond the ring, he as-sisted
the girls to mount, then, mount-ing
himself, the three rode away, fol-lowed
by a cheer. As for me, I breath-ed
one long sigh of relief.
“Well, Ginger,” said Buck, "reckon
ef we mis air goin to git to Sporty to-morrer
we’ll have to travel all night.”
“Is the nigger takin yo’ to Sporty or
air yo’ takin the nigger?” asked one
of tlie men.
“Hat ain't gwine to mnk’ no differ’,”
said Ginger. “Mars Buck an l don’
never had no trouble. Mars’ Buck, he’s
my mars’ till I gits to do new one.”
Buck led his horse to the log and
mounted, giving me a significant look,
as much as to say, “I won't desert
you,” then rode away, followed by Gin-ger.
with the remark:
“Gnodb.v, yo’ fellers. Much ’bilged
fo’ the good time.”
The restraint of the girls’ presence
being no longer felt, tlie men’s behavior
changed in a twinkling. The captain's
absence left Pete Ilalllday. the worst
man in tlie gang, free to foment trou-ble,
and lie began to do so by sneering
at his chief for being'brought, as he
expressed it, under petticoat govern-ment.
There appeared to be two fac-tions
In the band—the one headed by
Ilalllday or Jayeox and the other by
Captain Rlngold. Holliday set about
Instigating the guerrillas, or, rather,
his adherents, to go after Helen1 and
Jack and bring them back for another
dance. To make matters worse, one
of t!ii> men found some applejack, and
it was not long before tlie gang were
half drunk. Meanwhile the captain
returned and received a hearty cursing
from Ilalllday and his adherents. Sev-eral
of them started to bring track the
girls, hut Rlngold drew upon them and
threatened to shoot them unless they
returned. They staggered back, grum-bling,
and the captain adroitly pro-posed
another pull nt the'applejack.
This diverted them, nnd after finishing
the liquor one after another sank into
a drunken slumber.
It was midnight. Every member of
the band was asleep save the man who
was deputed to guard me. He was sit-ting
on a piece of firewood, so placed
that he could watch me across the
flame. I lay on my back looking up at
the stars and featherlikc clouds that
now and again floated ncross the great
blue dome, the only motion apparent,
save the tree tops bending under an oc-casional
breeze. The fire flickered, the
guard nodded, and an owl in the dis-tance
gave an occasional hoot.
I heard something stir in the under-brush.
Glancing aside, I saw a small
light disk over a bush. It was the face
of little Buck.
No v, In tlie name of all the gods, will
those devoted friends never give over
risking their lives in these useless at-tempts?
What Is to happen now? 1
scowled an order to the boy to go
away, hut he paid no attention to it.
Something came sliding along the
ground and lodged against mo. The
guard heard it, started, cast a quick
glance at ine, then about him. but,
seeing nothing, relapsed into his for-mer
quietude. I felt for what had
struck me and clasped a jackknife.
Meanwhile Buck disappeared, but,
soon appearing ngain In his place, held
tip a carbine. He had doubtless stolen
it from one of the men who slept on
the edge of the circle about the tire.
Again he disappeared, and I watched
eagerly for his return. The guard was
still awake, though nodding, but had
he been more watchful he would not
likely have discovered Buck, for the
underbrush, both where the boy ap-peared
to me and where it skirted the
sleeping guerrillas, was so thick that
in passing around the camp he wns
comparatively safe from observation.
Besides for most of the distance Buck
traversed in his gun foray the guard’s
back was toward him.
I watch the point where Buck’s head
