PEOPLE THAT HAS MADE MUCH LOCAL HISTORY
The United Brethren in Christ of Mount Pleasant have celebrated their
entennial as a church, fittingly, too, as becomes a people whose history is
losely interwoven with that of the town. They did this for their own sakes
hat.they might feel more keenly
heir relationship to the church as a
divine institution; for the sake of their
ancestors who are worthy ot the honor
accorded their memories, and for the
-ake of their successors, to whom they
would transmit all the inheritance of
lie past, the endearing elements of
ife which are more to be desired than
mid.
It is no easy task to arrange for and
uccessfully carry out an affair like
his was, as Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister
and his hospitable people have done.
They are certainly deserving of all the
'ongratulations that have been
howered upon them. Perhaps, the
lighest compliment to be paid them
s that implied by the fact that, now
hat it’s over, they have nothing to
•egret.
Special mention is due Dr. Keister's
isteemed father-in-law, Rev. S. E.
Romany, a veteran in the service of both his Master and his country. He
oluntarily took up the work of writing the history of the church, and work
f the hardest and most trying kind it was. But perseverance won the day
nd the result was a handsomely illustrated booklet that is full of most interest-ng
facts concerning the sturdy men and women who planted this church west
f the Alleghenies where it has since grown and become a great power for good.
The opening service was held Friday the Lord with gladness," followed by
vening, beginning with the reading of
he 90th Psalm by the pastor who led
he congregation in repeating the Lord's
rayer. The choir, under the leader-hip
of Dr. B. M. Loar, whose selections
hroughout were most pleasing features
f the meetings, sang the anthem, ‘The
ord is my light.” Dr. Keister then
ade a brief address of welcome and
as followed by the choir singing “I
oveTtay Kingdom.” Former pastors,
'ev. G. W. Sberrick and D. Speck,
hen spoke. Rev. Sherrick’s talk was

made by Rev. G. W. M. Rigor,
a former resident of this place, was
especially full of interest for both old
and young as it contained many pleas
ing reminiscences. When the congre-gation
had sung "How sweet the hour
of praise and prayer” to the tune of
"Auld Lang Syne,” Rev. J. P. Cowling
pronounced the benediction.
The Sunday evening service opened
with the anthem, "The shadows of
evening,” by the choir. Following the
reading of the 91st Psalm the congrega-tion
sang "Sun of my soul. Thou Sa-vior
dear.” Presiding Elder S. \Y

On Saturday evening, following the
eading of the 133rd Psalm and prayer
y Thomas A. Kempis, the choir sang
‘Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah"
nd kind letters from Rev. S. S. Hough
nd Prof. W. J. Zuek were read. This
as followed by Rev. S. E. Cormany
eading his excellent hiBtory of the
hurch. When the hymn, "Come, Thou
onnt of every blessing,” had been sung,
liss Ruth Hubbs recited Dr. Keister’s
entennial poem, which will be found
n the fourth page of this issue. After

Rev. E. U. Hoenshel, another for-er
pastor, conducted the quarterly re-iew

dictson that brought to a close the cen-tennial
services, which, from first to
last, were most profitable and inspiring.
FRATERNAL GREETINGS
Given by Revs. Wilson, Yahn and
Smith on Behalf of the
Local Churches.
In the course of his address Rev.
Wilson said: For one hundred years
your congregation and the one I repre-sent
have been fellow workers in this
town. In the association of the churches
they are the charter members, the orig-inal
pioneers who first blazed the claim
here for things spiritual, and who have
never dropped the tools of labor, or
moved farther west. For fifty years
these two congregations were joint
owners in the first piece of church prop-erty,
and for the other fifty years they
have been side by side spiritual com-petitors.
They have gathered from the
flowers of human nature the honey of
loyalty to Christ. Fifty years ago the
hive became too small. The U. P.s re
mainedathome; the United bees safely
swarmed on this plot of Main street
ground, helped to this location by the
music of a free deed to the property
from Solomon Keister, the father of
your pastor.
This printed and pictured history
brings up to you the fathers of your
church. One of them is here repre-sented
as supposing the effect produced
if be would come back to his pulpit
after fifty years. I act upon his sug-gestion,
and, fifty years after our sepa-ration
I represent to you those other old
men, not here pictured, those old-time
partners, the ministers of the Associate
Reformed, now United Presbyterian

church. 1 present their greetings, ex
press congratulations and bid you God I
speed. Let me call your attention to
something of special mention from your
own history and ours, that is the ah
sence of jealousy and the presence of
uninterrupted friendliness during all
that joint ownership period It had
great possibilities in the other direction.
Think too of the times in which these
men lived. Times when the ecclesiasti-cal
hatchet was dug up, and the war
paint was upon the face of Methodist,
Presbyterian. Baptist, 1 nited Brethren.
And yet no hint has come to ns from
document or tradition of discord or
jealousy. Let us name it to the honor
of the noble men and women of our
past. They lived in harmony.
I do not know whether a hundred
years ago there was in the German your
modern hymn, "Blest be the tie that
binds,” but I do know that the old men
whom I represent were a hundred years
ago singing a hymn which some sec-tion
of God's church has been Binging
for three thousand years: "Behold bow
good and pleasant, and how becoming
well, where brethren all in unity in
peace togethar dwell.” And those old
people of our two churches practiced
the sentiment of your modem hymn
and of that song of the ages. They did
more than that, they gave a direction
to a Christian fellowship and unity in
the town which has not been lost in the
years since.
May we not say that they anticipated
in their relations while here upon earth
the union of the church above, when
all these members of the Presbyterian
family of churches, shall become United
Presbyterians, and all this larger com-pany,
these Christians from all these
other churches shall become United j
Brethren. As you come into port after j
a hundred years’ course, rest a while,
hoist your sails and start out on another
century voyage, I come representing
the past to express congratulations and
bid you God speed.
The Power of Truth.
An occasion of this kind, said Rev.
Yahn, naturally suggests appropriate
thoughts, one of which is embodied in
the word truth. You are celebrating
the centennial of this church. Not of
the building; for, it is not so old as that,
nor of the congregation, for no member
has lived through the century; but the
identity that has marked your exis-tence
for a hundred years is to be
found in the truth as you have taught
it and practiced it.
A cbnrch, in this respect, is much
like the individuals who compose it.
While man is constantly changing, and
undergoes a complete physical change
every several years, he retains his iden-tity
from birth to death. So the old
church building gives place to the new,
and the personnel of the church is con
stantly changing, but the church re-tains
her identity in the immortal truth i
that she teaches. Hence, we should re-gard
the church as a trustee of the
truth. A church is of worth to the
world only to the extent that she em-bodies,
teaches and practices the truth.
It is probable that all churches have
some of the truth. It is possible that
no church has all of the truth. It fol-lows,
therefore, that the best church is
the church that teaches and practir a
the most of the truth. In the work of
such a church you can conscientiously
engage, and religions work only counts
to the extent that you can put con-science
into it.
I take it to be true that you are mem-bers
of this church on such a doctrinal
basis. He who belongs to a church on
any other grounds is a hindrance to the
church and an annoyance to the pastor.
1 do not know what changes the coming
century may bring to this denomina-tion,
but I do know that a hundred
years hence the truth for which you
stand will still live, and shine forth in
the beauty of auothercentury'saccumu-lated
light
You of today are heirs to n splendid
inheritance But this inheritance
brings a tremendous responsibility—a
responsibility that suggests that your
church must be not only a trustee of the
truth, but also a transmitter of the
truth And in the transmission of the
truth, keep the standard high, and
speak the truth in love, that it may be
"the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth.”
More Kind Words.
It substance Rev. Smith said: I come
to yon this evening to bring you the
greetings of a church which is numeri-cally
the strongest of ns all, but which
bears therefore a correspondingly great
burden of responsibility. I bring you
greetings of the most sincere and heart-felt
kind It affords me great pleasure
to stand before you this evening and
bring such a message.
My purpose tonight is also to eongrat
ulate you We have heard with much
satisfaction the edifying historical
Alleghenies in 1790. making frequent
trips in the next fourteen years, on one
of which JohD Jacob Pfrimmer accom-panied
him as a fellow laborer; how
these sturdy men of God. with Christian
Newcomer, conducted a great revival
meeting during the summer of 1803 in
the old Bonnet school house, which
stood near where Isaac Horner has his'
garden today, a little over a mile east
of this place, on the pike. The local
chnrcb dates its birth from this meet-ing.
It was in this sceool house that
the first General Conference of the
Church was held in 1815 when Chris-tian
Newcomer and Andrew Ziller
were elected bishops. In 1815 the new
United Brethren people and the United
Presbterians joined in the erection of a
log church, just opposite this office.
This was replaced by a brick structure
in 1830 and the United Presbyterians
bought it outright at public sale for
$700 on September 10,1853, and the next
year the United Brethren built their
Main street church, which has since,
been remodeled.

sketch read by Brother Cormany. It
has brought to ns in carefully digested
form just the information which we all
need to enable ns to appreciate what
this centennial celebration is all about,
I come to you with the greater pleasure
because of the relation of unity which
has always existed between ourchurches
We are one in doctrine, creed and prac-tice,
and we are practically one in
polity. Onr greetings therefore must
surely be fraternal indeed.
We bear a common heritage also.
From the simple and pious folk called
the Moravians the early United Breth-ren
in Christ received no small spiritual
impulse. So, with John WesleyT, whose
bicentenary we are to celebrate up at
our church tomorrow. His knowledge
of spiritual things was greatly quicken-ed
by his contact with Peter Boehler
and other good Moravians. And, finally,
I greet you and congratulate you be-cause
you have been permitted to live
as a ebureb through such a century as
this latest one. It is the best of them
all. It brought great religions blessings
to the world. May von be able to train
up a better generation than yourselves,
and then hand to them as a heritage an
age made better by yourselves. And
thus may God's Kingdom grow till it
fills the whole earth.

NOW UP TO
REV. YEUELL.
Burgess and Local Justices 1 ake Him to
Task for What he Said of Union-town’s
Wickedness.
TREY DEMAND PROOF OR ft DENIAL OF II,
Burgess Francis and Justices of the
Peace Miller and Dawson at Uniontown
are after Rev. Herbert Yeuell, pastor of
the Central Christian church there, for
the sensational charges he made in a
recent sermon, of which the substance
■was published in last week’s JOURNAL.
Rev. Yeuell made the statement that
four prominent business men had very
recently been arrested at 2 o'clock in
the morning with four women; that
they were taken before a justice, and
on account of their social prominence
and being married men, were let off
with a fine of $15 each. He further
stated that some of these men are offi-cers
in the church and every Sunday
walk up and down the aisle taking up
the contribution. He also stated that
if these men had been poor their arrest
would have been heralded broadcast
over the town in great headlines in the
papers.
The Burgess and justices most em-phatically
deny that anything of the
kind ever occurred in their offices and
demand that Rev. Yeuell either sub-stantiate
the charge or acknowledge its
falsity. The reverend gentleman has
not made any reply as yet.

“I don’t, but I can think about tak-ing
two months, can’t I?”

THE FINAL ARGUMENT.
In these weekly talks of the past few months, we have touched on many sides
of the clothing question—we have endeavored to be impartial in all our statements
—we have sought to give facts, and facts only—neither stretching the truth in our
favor, nor distorting conditions of competition.

In the meantime, these “talks” have brought
us many new friends—and our^’methods of busi-ness
have cemented their patronage. In the
newspapers, we can only declare our intentions,
but in our business relations we can prove our
intentions—and as the “proof of the pudding is
in the eating,” our meriting success is shown in
the tremendous increase of our business this
spring.

Composed by Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister,
the Popular U. B. Paster.
A hundred years of history,
On this thrice sacred spot,
Ron buck in shades of mystery,
But ne’er can lie forgot
Onr fathers here have labored,
Our mothers here have loved;
Their lives by us are treasured,
Their worth by ns is proved.
Within the golden chalice
Of true, ancestral worth.
We see the gilts that grace us,
That enrue to its by birth.
Religion was their treasure,
The gift of God by faith;
And we receive our measure,
For thus the Lord still saith.
NEW COURT HOUSE OUTLOOK.
The announcement has been made in
Greensburg that there are persons
prominent in political circles there who
are willing to wager large amounts
that they can name now the firm who
will he given the contract for the build
ing of the proposed new court house,
although the bids for the fourth letting
will not be opened until July 12. It is
stated that an entirely new political
combination has selected a certain con
traeting firm for the plum.
The people of this county, who have
given ttieir consent to the erection of a
new court house with the understand-ing
that they would assume the pay-ment
of all reasonable bills incurred,
must be heartily tired of file puerile ac-tions
of their officials in charge of this
matter. The above report regarding
the approaching opening of the bids
may or may not be true, but it does
seem that if Westmoreland is to baye a
new temple of justice she will have to
First elect successors to Controller
Brown and Commissioners Earnest,
Price and Mowry.
NO THIRD PRESIDENTIAL TERM.
Ex Governor Robert E. Pattison, of
Philadelphia, is out in an interview in
a Washington City paper, in which he
declares against a fourth nomination ol
Grover Cleveland by the Democrats
Mr. Pattison is quoted ns snving that
Cleveland would make a weak candi-date
and that there is hardly any con
dition. however favorable, under which
he could be elected, even though he re
ceived the nomination, which is im-probable*
Mr. Pattison also holds tbai
the people of this country will not give
a man a third term at this time and he
hopes they never will. He says the
Democrats had better drop the Cleve-land
idea and busy themselves with
feasible ideas.
At first glance it might appear that
Robert, who enjoys considerable nation
al reputation as a Democratic states-man,
has a personal interest in having
Grover's little boom sidetracked; but.
any such impression formed would be
wrong ns Mr. Pattison frankly adds,
when this snpject is broached to him,
that Pennsylvania is too hopelessly Re
publican for him to expect to be so
honored. Its doubtful, too, if be
measures up to Colonel Bryan's standard
of first class presidential timber.
F t
REV. DR. KEISTER.
Then let ns join their chorus
Of victory complete,
As now they hover o'er ns,
And e ery tio‘e repent.
The nation once they cherished
Is our own nation, too;
From earth it ne’er lias perished,
Though wide "Old Glory" flew.
The bonds of love still bind us
To all our distant past;
Its threefold strands remind us
Of things that always last.
Then let these years, a hundred,
Call back to days of yore,
From which we have been sundered.
Our minds and henrfs once more.
We look, but not in sadness;
We weep, but not in grief;
Our tears are tears of gladness;
We know "a sweet relief.”
With ns as with onr fathers,
God's love in Christ iH known;
And in Hi" arms He gathers
His cherished and His own.
The years now past, a hundred,
May point onr minds before.
To years of which we’ve wondered,
The years that, ne’or are o’er.
So bright are they with glory,
So sweet with fellowship,—
They eolne in sacred story,
They haste to touch our lip.
A hundred years of history,
From this thrice-saered spot,
Reach out in glorious mystery,
And cannot be forgot.
WILLIAM AND THEODORE.
It was a graceful act of President
Roosevelt to send an American sqnad
ron to last week’s German regetta at
Kiel, Prussia, and in acknowledging
the courtesy Emperor William sent this
cablegram to the President.
"On my arrival at Kiel I was saluted
by a fine American squadron and had
the pleasure of receiving Admiral Cot
ton and his captains. It was a very
happy and kind inspiration on yonr
part to send the squadron to Kiel for
the week, and thanks to this fact I was
aide to inspect the magnificent flagship
Kearsarge today, when I was able to
compliment the captains on the excep
tionally good state of efficiency and
neatness of the ship and the fine appear
ance of her gallant crew. Everybody
will vie with each other to make them
feel at home, in response to the kind
and friendly reception of my brother
by the citizens of the United States.
The President replied, telling of the
pleasure it was to him, as the holder of
the highest office in the gift of the
American people, to hear such words of
praise from a royal expert. Of course,
some of onr old sea dogs are already
growling, claiming that the Emperor
took this means of getting the latest
American ideas on naval architecture.
But, even were that true, the knowl-edge
he gained will doubtless only in
crease his respect for your Uncle Sam-uel’s
sea power.
International Taffy.
Pittsburg Times.
The German Emperor did a very
graceful and kingly act yesterday when
he cabled to the President praising the
American squadron sent to Kiel. He is
such a martinet in military and naval
matters with his own soldiers and
sailors that commendation from him
ninst mean a good deal to the officers
and men, not only of thd flagship Rear
sarge, which he inspected, ■ but the
whole squadron.

During a violent thunderstorm, which
broke over that region just before noon
Snnday, the Methodist Episcopal church
at Blairsville was struck by lightning
The morning service was just drawing
to a close, and the sudden darkness,
capped by the loud peal of thunder and
the crash of the bolt as it struck the
tower, threw the large congregation
into a panic which for a moment boded
serious consequences. The presence of
mind of several men in the congregation
and of Rev. Charles W. Smith, editor
of the Pittsburg “Christian Advocate,
who was occupying the pulpit for the
pastor, Rev. B. F. Beazell, D D , nipped
a rush for the doors just in time to pre
vent injury to many women and child
ren. The building was not seriously
damaged.

THE WESTERN RESERVE
Story of First White Child Born in
That Locality.
THRILLING FRONTIER TRAGEDY.
Husband Returns From Journey to
His Old Home to Find His Wife and
Children Gaunt, Hollow-Eyed and
Dying of Starvation. ,
The reader who sits to-day in his
comfortable home and enjoys the
peaceful life of this section of our
land can scarcely appreciate the great
hardships which the pioneer settlers
of Pennsylvania and Ohio endured a
century and more ago, as they fought
back the wilderness line and brought
this rich country under cultivation
and civilization. This is the story of
the first white child born in the West-ern
Reserve, and of the melancholy
fate which overtook it. The first ex-ploring
party of settlers whas led
into the Reserve by General Moses
Cleaveland in 1796. They were hardy
men, born to conquer the wilderness
and make it blossom as the rose, and
they came with the conscious tread
of those behind whom were following
millions. In the western progress of
the Cleaveland party a halt was made
at a spot on the southern shore of
Lake Erie, where since has grown up
the town of Conneaut, Ohio. They
were here for some time during the
early summer of 1796, and then at
length passed on westward to the
mouth of the Cuyahoga, where they
laid the foundations of a new city
which Is now known as Cleveland.
Here we leave them, for this story
has to do with a btave man and his
family who followed alone the track
of the Cleaveland party. This sian
was James Kingsbury, who had in the
early summer left his old home in
New York state and set out with fam-ily
and household goods to seek a
newer habitation in the virgin Ohio
country. Their sad adventures dur-ing
the following winter furnish one
of the most thrilling of frontier trage-dies.
Kingsbury belonged to that
numerous class to whom the promise
of new things always seemed the cer-tainty
of better things, and the great
rich lands lying to the south of Lake
Erie seemed like an Eden, or a Can-aan,
full of promise. Making all prep-arations
possible he followed in the
trail of General Cleaveland’s survey-ing
party. Only a short, time after
they had left conneaut this venture-some
family, consisting of husband,
wife and several children, arrived at
that spot. Constructing a crude cab-in
close by the lake, these pioneers
settled down to spend the winter,
being the first family to winter in the
Reserve. Their quarters were rude,
affording but poor accommodations
for a man, not to say anything of the
more tender woman and children who
so bravely set their hands to the con-quest
of the untamed wilderness.
Soon after this rough beginning was
made Mr. Kingsbury found that he
would have to make a journey back
to his former home in the East to at-tend
to some business matters which
fcis sudden departure had compelled
him to leave unfinished. This made
necessary the leaving of his family
alone in that exposed situlation, but
no one flinched from the hardship,
and the husband and father sat out
on his way. Weeks went by and the
time of his expected return arrived.
No sign of his approach was seen.
The days passed and the weeks in-creased.
The brave pioneer wife and
mother began to fear that death had
overtaken her absent loved one, but
all she could do was to watch and
wait. Food became scarce and they
were compelled to reduce their al-lowance,
so that hunger troubled
them as well as cold. Their situation
was becoming desperate, and there
was no way of helping matters. Mean-time,
back in old York state, Mr.
Kingsbury had attended to his busi-ness
and was just about to set out
on his return, when he was taken ill
with a fever, which laid him up for
long weeks. It would be hard to ap-preciate
his feelings during this en-forced
delay. At last, well on into the
winter, he was able to start back
home. At Buffalo he hired an Indian
guide, that he might save time. At
Presqu Isle he bought twenty pounds
of flour, all he could carry. Finally
one morning he reached his cabin and
Hie sight made his heart sick. His
wife lay in bed ill, and in the ad-vanced
stages of emaciation from star-vation.
By her side lay the body of
a child born during his absence, which
had died for lack of nourishment. This
was the first white child born in the
Western Reserve, and such was its
early and sad fate, born in a land rich
and fertile, only to be starved to death
in a few days. The other children
were gaunt and hollow-eyed, but still
living. The food which the father
brought soon turned the tide of life,
and trouble vanished for the time.
A century has wrought marvelous
changes at Conneaut. Where the lone
cabin stood is now a busy, growing
community of thousands,a commercial
center of great activity. The actual
site of the Kingsbury cabin has for
three-quarters of a century been cov-ered
by the encroaching waters of the
lake, as the shore line changed. It ap-pears
that Mr. Kingsbury in later
years moved to the vicinity of Cleve-land.
Of him it is related that his
was the hand which thrust the first
sickle into a ripened field of wheat
on the Western Reserve. In his later
life he became a legislator and judgs
During the past winter his grandson
an aged an honored Methodist Episco-pal
clergyman, died at Alliance, Ohio

THE GREAT DROUGHT OF 1845.
Not General, Confined to Southern
Shore of Lake Erie.
There are yet living some few per-sons
in Northern Ohio who have a
personal recoliectlon of the famous
and destructive dry summer of 1845
This drought was not general, but pre-vailed
throughout a fated strip of
country lying along the southern
shore of Lake Erie for over a hun-dred
miles, and being about sixty
miles in width. The spring rains
ceased that year in the latter part of
March, after which no rain fell till
June 10, when during part of a single
afternoon a little fall occurred. This
small amount of moisture made no im
pression on the parched ground, and
the great dry spell continued abso
lately unbroken until July 2, when
enough water was let down from the
heavens to make a little bit of mud
on the roads. Thus did nature merely
tantilize the weary and worried peo-ple,
for the skies again cleared up and
assumed their long wonted brassy
hue. This continued till in Septem-ber,
when rains came sufficiently copi-ous
to start vegetation, but too late
tc help the sufferers. As this terri-ble
long and dry summer wore on the
wells went dry, springs failed, brooks
and creeks went dry, and rivers were
reduced to mere tiny rivulets mean-dering
along the bottoms of former
deep channels. The life ordinarily
sustained in the waters was destroyed
very largely. Vegetation of course
shriveled up. The grass crop became
a mere matted tangle of dry and in-flammable
stuff. The setting of a fire
among it was very dangerous, for the
flames would run like fiery serpents
in all directions. The settlers had to
he exceedingly careful as to every
spark of fire all through that dread-ful
summer. Great trouble was ex-perienced
with the dust. It was every-where.
Even in meadows one walking
would stir up great clouds of it like
horses on the roads. Grain crops
were practically destroyed. For the
most part no attempt was made to
harvest them, as they could not have
been made to pay for even the time
spent in gathering them. The effect,
of the drought was quite noticeable
in the forests, where the trees shed
their foliage early in the summer, and
the leaves which did not fall dried up
on the branches. The only things
which seemed to thrive during the
dry spell were the grasshoppers,
which were reduced at length to the
eating of thistles and elders to sus-tain
life. The scarcity of feed which
followed compelled the owners of
stock to sell at low prices, or to send
their anijnals down into the Scioto
valley or over into Pennsylvania.
This great drought brought total ruin
to many a hard-working man, and it
took others many years to recover
their lost standing with the world.
It is safe to say that never while
he lives will any man forget the
drought of 1845, who, as a man and
a farmer, tried to live unharmed
through it. C. L. SMITH.

“Estelle, am 1 never to be regarded
by you save ns the suggestion of an-other
man? Can you not see”— Her
surprised and pained glance apprised
him that he was betraying anger, and
he checked the utterance of harsh
words that sprang from his heart, for
he knew his time was not yet ripe
while a chance remained that Horace
still survived.
“Pardon me, mademoiselle,” he added
humbly. "My distress has made me a
sick man, irritable beyond my power
of self control. I will not come to you
again until 1 am better."
“1 hope that will be soon,” she said,
giving him her hand.
He next sought Dede’s. Passing
Quillebert’s bouse, he was halted by
Laure.
“Your brother—Is It true that he is
dead?” she asked.
“I do not know,” he answered.
“What do you believe?”
“Nothing.”
“What does she believe?” pointing
toward Estelle’s home.
“She mourns for him.”
“That Is more than you will do.”
“Why?”
“For a reason I will not state.”
“Do you know the reason?” he asked
testily.
“I do not. I sense It. I Inherit that
from my grandmother.”
“Bah, Laure! That Is nonsense,
which you did not inherit from the doc-tress.”
“Have It your own way. But there Is
a second reason why you will not
mourn.”
“What is that?”
“Because you will not be sorry.”
“Do you not think you are overstep-ping
the bounds?”
“I have no bounds. I tnlk so because
1 know you. I have studied you, but
I need not have done so, for I under-stand
you without.”
“Well?”
"You are in danger.”
“From whom?”
“Yourself.”
“Then 1 am doomed, for I cannot es-cape
from myself.” And Evariste
laughed at his poser.
“But you can escape,” Laure said,
undisturbed.
“How?”
“Avoid Qulllebert from this time on.”
“That would be inconvenient, though
it would not break my heart.”
“And leave off your hopeless pursuit
of that girl,” again stretching her arm
down the bayou, “for you shall never
marry her.”
“Is that a threat?” ho demanded.
“It is a prophecy,” she said, with a
confident air.
“I was not aware Cassandra survived
Troy.”
“I do not know what you mean, but
| you know what I mean.”
“Well, I thank you,” he said, gather-ing
the reins of his bridle and raising
his hat.
“Unless you heed you shall have no
cause to thank me.” She kept her eyes
fixed upon him until he disappeared
behind the crest of the bayou bank,
and then with all the intensity of her
nature she exclaimed: “He shall come
my way! I will it!”
Evariste continued to the cabaret
and there found his two customary
companions at their usual devotion to
rum and cards. Qulllebert was restive
and hastened the intoxication and de-parture
of old Latiolais, after which he
drew his chair near to Evariste and
|said:
“What are your plans now that your
| brother is dead?”
“They are not definitely formed. I
| must have verification of this report.”
“But you believe it?” asked Qutlle-
|bert.
“I incline to.”
“If it prove true, what is your pur-pose
toward Latiolais’ granddaughter?”
“I will marry her.”
“Will she consent?”
“Yes, when I convince her she must
I in order to save her home and the old
| man’s honor.”
“How will you do that?”
“By mea,ns of the papers I bought
Ifrom you and the two you still hold,
|wbich I will buy also.”
“You mean the power of attorney
land the order to cancel her mortgage
|upon his plantation?”
“Yes.”
“How did you learn I had them?”
“It Is not necessary to explain.”
“If I put them at your service with-out
price, you will not relent?”
“Never!” said Evariste, setting his
|teeth together determinedly.
“The papers are subject to your de-aand.
Give me your hand,” Qulllebert
bald exultingly, adding as he chuckled,
[‘Alia, my little Laure of the ‘shall’ and
fhe ‘shall not!’ ”
“What do you mean by that?” sharp-ly
asked Evariste, eying Qulllebert sus-piciously.
“Oh, as you said Just now. It is not
necessary to explain,” replied the hit-ler,
continuing his low, malevolent
laugh. “We will await the eontirma-
|Jou of the news.”
And await they did, though Impa-tiently
enough, until two winters nnd
Iprings had rolled by and fallen Into
the Immeasurable and insatiate maw
If the past. Though the battle of Per-fyvllle
became a known historical fact,
po list of the Confederate dead was ob-tainable,
nnd no survivor returned to
give the roll of the slain. Between
Avoyelles and the dwindling army of
the southwest lay the Impassable Un-ion
line along the mighty river. But
at length when this latter stretched to
the western shore and beyond the re-gion
of middle Louisiana came the con-firmation
so devoutly wished.
In rags nnd unshod, his right arm
haudless and his left leg from the knee
gone, Ynlsin Mouillot hobbled back to
his old home, discharged ns incapable
of service. To eager listeners, many
of them weeping, he recited what of
the engagement he had seen, which
was little, for he was in the heat of it.
He told of the drought parched section
of Kentucky, dusty and waterless,
through which forced marches were
made: how, east of Perryville, his re
treating division was halted nnd form-ed
for action under a broiling midday
sun: how tiie warriors of both sides
were famished for drink, while the
only spring on the field lay in an apple
orchard, on one side of which was a
“ What do you mean by thatt"
low stone wall protecting a battalion of
Illinois infantry. His wan face glow-ed
as he described the charges of his
company on this wall to uncover the
spring. The first was under Captain
Tailleur. who fell at the brink of the
pool with a minle ball through his
forehead. Lieutenant Onkfell led the
second, received a murderous volley
within 40 feet of the wall and bit the
dust with Leon, the jockey, who had
joined him at Corinth and followed
him as body servant and cook of his
mess. The third charge was about to
be made under the leadership of Lieu-tenant
Brulleton when a shell exploded
in Valsin’s face, nnd he knew no more
until he recovered consciousness in a
canvas covered wagon jolting through
the passes of the Cumberland moun-tains
to find himself minus a foot and a
hand. He had lingered about the camps
and hospitals until he was formally re-ported
as unfit for duty, discharged
and ordered to return home as best he
could. His journay back was long, te-dious
and painful nnd now that it was
accomplished appeared to him a hide-ous
dream.
When the doleful story of Vnlsin was
carried to Estelle, she looked with
streaming eyes far into the blue vault
above and whispered:
“Horace, bear me. Y’our voice called
my love into being, and now my love
is dead. No other voice than yours
shall ever recall it to life.”

The girl who had fallen into the
water screamed frantically for help.
“Save me! Save me!” she cried.
The man on the bank hesitated.
“I’m a married man,” he said, “and
I have seven children. I want that
distinctly understood.”
“Yes, yes; but save me!” cried the
girl.
“I can’t marry you if I do,” urged
the man.
“No, no; only save me.”
“If any girl falls into my arms and
calls me her preserver there’s going
to be a whole lot of trouble.”
“I won’t.”
“Well, I’ll tackle the job,” he said
ns he threw aside his coat. “You see,
I was caught on one of these preserver
deals once, and that’s how I come to
be married, so I’m disposed to be just
a little bit cautious.”—Brooklyn Eagle.

AFTER SLOT
MACHINES.
District Attorney Cunningham has Begun a
Crusade Against Them Following
Conviction of One Owner.
PARENTS PROTEST BEMUSE OF THEIR BOTS,
District Attorney Cunningham has
begun a crusade against the slot ma-chine
owners in this county and con-stables
of boroughs and townships will
be notified that they will be expected to
return all owners of machines found in
their districts. A test case conducted
in the courts at Greensburg recently
resulted in the conviction of the defen
dant, W. J. Harvey, of Derry. The
cause of the raid is numerous appeals
that have been made recently to the
county authorities from parents of boys
who spend all their earnings, it is said,
on the machines. Quite a few are re
ported to be located in this county.
Abyssinian Money.
The Emperor Menelik has had a
curious experience in his efforts to
replace barter by a metallic currency
m Abyssinia. The Maria Theresa
thaler has for generations been cur-rent,
but for want of a smaller coinage
salt blocks became the standard of
exchange and resisted all efforts, even
of the emperor, to replace them by
a new currency coined in Paris some
years ago. The salt blocks have giv-en
way, but not to the new coinage,
which the people will not touch. The
new standard of values is—the rifle
cartridge.

FEXL BAD?
Nothing in particular the matter, but just
feel bad all over. It’s certain to be either poor
digestion, a sluggish liver or disordered kidneys
that cause it. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules will set
things going right inside you and make you look
good and feel good all over.
They do it by stimulating the kidneys, liver and diges-tive
organs to renewed activity, thus robbing the blood of the
poisons and impurities which, being denied their natural exit,
have been forced out through the skin.
Eczema is a loathsome disease, distressing to its victims
and disgusting to beholders.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the very best vegetable blood medicines con-densed
into small easily taken, tasteless capsules. You can carry them in a tiny
box in tbe pocket and take them anywhere without attracting notice. In them
you get the condensed curatives of true medicinal plants, roots, barks, blossoms
leaves and fruit—the health-giving qualities nature has stored in the products
of held, swamp and wildwood.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest, safest, most reliable, convenient
and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and life-sustaining qualities.
1 hey make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the bodily struc-tures
come right because they depend on the blood for nourishment and renewal
I'or over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high esteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema, old
sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, boils, liver
complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and a long list of
common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence bom of many years’
experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer: Send us a
dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buv the same of vour
druggist, use half of them, and i* 1 ■
and we will return your money.
