h $5 A tall, sturdy young man crossed the railroad ferry from Jersey City to New York on May 10th, and made his way up town to Fifteenth Street, His dress and bearing were those of a man more accus- tomed to a cattle ranch or a Western mining camp than to a city. He looked closely at the numbers on the doors of the houses until he stoped before one of the poorestâ€"a house let out in tenements. He made an inquiry at the door and then strode up the miserable staircase. In about half an hour he emerged with a look of misery on his face, in sharp contrast with the joyous. eager expressions it had worn when he entered. A woman came down to the door with him and pointed along the street. Following the direction she gave, he walked rapidly to Bellevue Hospital. On his arrival he asked if a woman whose name he gave had been there. The clerk referred to the register and told hi that she died about forty- eight hours efore. He asked to see the body and was told that as she had no money nor anything of value, the body had been sent to the Morgue for burial in Potter’s Fied. Then the man broke down. They gave him a glass of water and he re- vived sufficiently to tell his story. He He said he had just come from the far West to see his mother and give her a surprise. He had not seen her for twenty- five years. He had not written to her but a few times in all that long period. He had been living with cattlemen and rangers, had made a good deal of money, wasted it and made more. He had led a wild, hard life. seldom thinking of home or the mother who loved him. Suddenly an overpowering longing to see his mother and do something to atone for his long neglect of filial :luty came over him, and he started for the East. He lost no time on the way and on reaching Jersey City had hurried to the address where his mother was living when she last Wrote to him. There he heard that she was dead â€"had died in the hospital while he was on his way to her. All he could do for her now was to take her body and give it decent burirl. The strong man Was utter- ly broken-hearted by his disappointment. She could never know now, he said, that his heart had turned to her at last, and that he came back to see her and be good to her. She had died thinking him un- grateful. He had pleased himself all through the journey thinking what her joy would be when she saw him. He covered his face with his hands and wept bitterly. Repentance had come to him too late, as it comes to so many men. N earl y every man who has had a religious ‘ education intends to repent and turn to; God before he dies. He must establish his business first, or provide for his family 0r settle up his afl'airs; God can wait as he '1 as waited twenty 0r forty years. Death . That kneeling form, those folded hands Have vanished into dust ; But still with me for aye shall be ‘ The mem’ry of her Trust. And when I cross dark J ordan’s tide, And meet her “over there." We'll praise the Lord, who blessed that word, My name in mother’s prayer. I wandered on and heeded not God’s oft-repeated call To turn from sin, to live him And trust to him my all. But when, at last convinced of sin, _I sank in deep despair; My soul awoke, when mem’ry spoke My name in mother’s prayer. T’was in the days of careless youthâ€" When life Was fair and bright, And ne’er a tear and scarce a fear O’er cast my day and nightâ€" As in the quiet eventide, I passed her kneeling there, That just one wordâ€"my nameâ€"41 heardâ€" My name in mother’s prayer. I thought but little of it then, Though reverence touched my heart For her whose love sought from above For me the “better part.” But when life’s sterner battles came With m-my a subtle smre, 0ft that one word, in thought I heardâ€" My name in mother’s pray er. Then with a. sacred influence, Came back her memory sweet. And from the brink where many sink, It drew my tott’ring feet. But though thus kept from open sin, For him I did not care, Who died for me on Calv’ry’s tree, Who heard my mother’s prayer.

DIsAsTROI‘s CONFLAGRATION. â€" Friday night at about 11 o‘clock We were aroused from our slumbers by the fearful cry of “Fire 3” utterred by a voice which evi- dently belonged to a. bald-headed, bow- legged, cantankerous old critter. ()n reaching the street we discovered the office of our contemporary in flames, while the alleged editor thereof was dancing around on the sidewalk and acting like a crazy man. The lurid tongues were lighting up the heavens for miles around. and the demon of destruction was about to be let loose on the town, when we found a. pail of water and dashed in and squelched the serpent tongues forever. Investigation proved that the alleged editor of the so-called weekly started the conflagration by uppsetting a lighted candle on his straw bed.

The man who allows his subscription to run for some time unpaid and then orders the paper discontinued or asks the post-master to mark it “ Refused” leaves himself liable to punishment. 6. If subscribers ray in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of their time if they do not wish to con- tinue taking the paper, otherwise the publisher may send until such time as a definite order to discontinue, accompanied by payment of all arrears, is sent him. NOT THE MANâ€"Our horse editor, who is an impetuous young journalist from the east, published an item during our absence last week which severely reflected on the some] standing of our esteemed fellow- townsman, Capt. John Tarbell. The item stated that he had skipped town to avoid being arrested on an old warrant charging him with killing a man in Penn- sylvania. Our horse editor con’t remem- ber from whom he got his facts. He is a. very energetic young man, and meets so many people in the couse of the day that he can’t always stop to remember which one related this or that item of news. \Ve are trying to give a sort of Twen- tieth-century flavor to our paper by employing Eastern journalists who happen along, but we confess to being somewhat discouraged. They don't exactly grasp the Western situation with both hands. There is a certain chic to this climate only to be understood by a journalist who has been shot at about a Linzen times.â€"â€"M. Quad. \V e now beg to humbly announce that a great injustice was done to the gallant Captain. He never killed a man in Pennsylvania, and instead of jumping the town he was playing poker in the Red Star saloon when the paper was issued. He was all ready to come to the office and shoot our horse editor when friends ad- vised him to await our return. We are very sorry that such an error should have crept into our columns. The Captain bit a man’s nose off at Prescott three years ago, and he killed some sort of Indian or other over on the Little Colorado river last fall, but he was never in Pennsyl- vania in his life. We hope this apology will be excepted in the spirit tendered and place him right before the public. 3.

A citizen of Portland, Ind., claims to be the owner of a. large tomcat who long ago developed a. great love for the companion- ship of the poultry tribe. “It eats every- thing they do, even to shelled corn, and when night comes perches iizolf on the roost alongside of a. rooster as configured as if. it Wuoymnmummwn men!“ 1' Ingeniously Inhuman Conduct witthh He Charges a. Farmer. ‘ Ten days ago Henry Sullivan, a. prosper- ous farmer and.ca.ttle raiser of Forsythe, Mo., left home to go to aneighboring town, where he purposed buying a number of cattle. Since that time nothing was heard of him until to-day, when he walked into his home looking so haggard, unkempt, and disreputable that no one recognized him. He told a. strange story of his mishaps while absent which investigation substan- tiates. The tendency of fruit trees to grow one- sided, and larger on the north than on the south side, is very remarkable in some places. At the South Dakota experiment station, the orchard was pruned twice dur- ing the season by pinching back the new growth on the north side. The best method was found to be in pinching back the tips of the branches on the north side, thus per- mitting the branches on the south side ti; catch up with, or even surpass, the north side. It is important to keep the south side of the tree heavier, as it thus shades the trunk and larger branches, thereby pre- venting sun scald. If all superfluous branches are rubbed or pinched off as soon as they make their appearance, the tree has not to expend superfluous energy, will mature better and last longer. Eastern fruit growers do not experience this trouble Very much, but it is well to take heed of this and grow straight, symmetrical trees. Some time ago, in making a. deal with Charles Wilson, a farmer, Sullivan got the best of him to the extent of several thou- sand dollars. This so prayed upon Wilson, an eccentric bachelor, that be determined upon a. fiendish revenge. In a deep cafion near the road which Sullivan travelled was a. large cave which no one had ever explored, and which was reputed to be the den of fefocious wild animals and venomous rep- ti es. Assuulting Sullivan at a point near the cave, Wilson dragged his captive into it-. Stripping him naked, he bound him firmly to a. giant: column and left; him. Here, with the slime from the cave dripping on him and with vermin, hugs and repulsive worms crawling over him, Sullivan spent several days of unspeakable agony and misery. It was not his captor’s plan to kill him at once. He was to die by inches. Each day he visited Sullivan, bringing with him just food enough to prolong life and to make his sufferings a. thousand times worse than the agony of death. What Sullivan suifexed, he says, can never be told. It was worse than the torments of hell. His fiendish captor would bring heaped-up dishes of food, and, placing it just beyond his reach, would gloat over his agony. A week of this and the prisoner was so weak and mentally such a. wreck that \Vilson, fearing he might die before he had satisfied his revenge, adopted milder tactics, and fed him liberally for a few days. ‘ A “'omnn “’ith it Hairpin. “\Vhat a woman can do with a hairpin” is thus amnsingly set forth ina Scottish paper: “A woman can do more with a hairpin than a man can do with any one instrument in existence. The takes it to button her boots, to crimp her hair, to fasten her hat on, to button her gloves and the waist buttons of her dress, and to pin her veil. She can use it as u. papcrknife or a book-mark ; to open a letter or to draw a device upon a seal. If she twists the ends it becomes a tape-needle, or a safety-pin, or a. key-ring. It is a very decent bodkin. In an emergency it is as good as an ordinary pin ; better, in fact, for it can be made to do double duty. It supplies many of the missing intricacies of buckles, suspenders and supporters, and repairs any damaged domestic article requiring a few inches of wire and a little feminine ingenuity. A woman traces a pattern with a. hairpin dip ed in her shoe-blacking ; and smoked in tie gas, she uses it to pencil her eye- brows. If her husband is not at home, she will take it to clean his pipe or cigarette- holder. And after he has broken his pocket- knife and hunted helplessly all over the house for a "piece of wire,” she will draw her hairpin with a pitying look and clear out the gas-burner or re-open the waste- pipe of the stationary bowl. A woman can use a hairpin as a corkscrew for any kind of bottle she cares to open. Ever ready to her hand. whether she uses it to pick her trunk lock or trim a lamp wick, to mend her bracelet or her bustle, she handles it with a dexterous grace and a confident skill that are born of inherited knowledge and educated by practised use.” In one of the efforts made with revived strength Sullivan broke his bonds and fled. He found his way home and told his pitiful story to his wife, who started the authori- ties on the track of the inhuman Wilson. The latter has fled, and, as yet, no traces of him have been found. If he is caught no court of justice will try him. A “’onderful Set of Chessmen. A remarkable set of chessmen- has just been completed by an American mechanic. The pieces are made of silver bronze, and the period of costume and equipment is A. D. 1194, all the characters being historical and contemporary and strictly accurate in every detail of heraldic blazonry and cos- tume. The knights are in chain-mail ar- mor, with shield, axe, sword and dagger. Their fur coats have each the individual blazon of the wearer. The queens wear royal robes and carry sceptres. The bishops are in church vestments, with cross and crozier, The pawns are men at arms in a kneeling posture, with spear, bill-hook and knife. The white men are English, the black French. The English king and queen are Richard I. and his Berengaria. The bishops are Herbert \Valter, archbishop of Canter- bury, and William Longchamps, bishop of ‘le ; and the knights are the Earl of Salis- bury and Baron of Worcester. The castle is Anglo-Norman, and is a perfectly accuâ€" rate representation of feudal architecture. The French king and queen are Philip and Ingeborg, his Danish spouse, the bishops being de Dreux and de Sully, of Beauvais and Paris.
