Farrot; not only remember, but rec­ ollect; that is to say, they know when there is a missing' link in a train of as­ sociation, and purposely endeavor to })ick it up. Thus, for instance, the ate l ady Kanier tells of an interest­ ing series of observations on this point which she made upon an intelligent parrot of her own. Taking such a phrase as "Old Dan Tucker," the bird would remember the beginning and the end, and try to lecollect the mid­ dle. tor it would ^ay very si >wly, "old --old--old--old" tand then very quick­ ly I "Lucy Tucker." Feeling that this was not risrht it would try again as be­ fore: "Ola--old--old--old Bessy Tuck­ er." substituting one word after an­ other in the place of the sought-for word "Dan." And that the process*was one of trjly seeking for the desired word was proved by the fact that if, while the bird was* saying "old--old-- old--old," any one threw in the word "Dan." he immediately supplied the "Tucker."

When the morning sun creeps over the barren hills or {southwestern Mis­ souri, dispelling the darkness of night its rays kiss one of the most desolate and one of the wildest re­ gions of the United States--wild in its general make-up and appearance and in the character and Habits of its people. To the careful ̂ ewspuper reader who is familiar fyith the events of the day as they are chroni­ cled by the press, the mere mention of the Ozark mountains suggests stories of crimes and desperadoes--of moonshining, and horsestealing, feuds, muraers, and iynctiings. The murky waters of the Missouri divide the State intostwo territorially equal but wholly dissimilar sections, the northern being fertile, well populated and civlii ed, while the southern, and particularly the southwestern, is hilly, unproductive and sparsely set­ tled and has not yet emerged from that state of semi-civili/ation pecu­ liar to our southern mountain dis­ tricts. The entire southwestern section is included in the region known as the Ozarks. These are not a range of un­ dulating mountains, with broad and beautiful valleys, but rather groups of knobs and peaks that rise here, there, and everywhere from almost level ground to heights ranging from 500 to 1,000 feet, crowned by rounded summits, the approach to which is by gen'ule slopes on three sides, while the fourth side is generally a perpendicu- clif cliff--an abrupt precipice of sandstone There are forests of val­ uable cedars, oaks, and pines, while within the bosom of the hills ofteu lie rich treasures of onyx and other minerals. The mountaineers are the same simple, illiterate children of nature that are found in the mountains of the Carolinans, Kentucky, and Ten­ nessee. They eke out an existence mainly by sheep grazing, by tilling the soil wherever it will yield a crop of tobacco or some article of food and by illicit distilling of whisky. As a rule they are indolent--men, women, and children alike. The awkward, unga.nly young men and boys prefer hunting or sitting on a fen e rail or a tree stump relating stories of adven­ ture and discussing the proper man­ ner of tying a noose for a lynching bee to following some manly pursuit, of labor and spending their spare time in gaining an education and studying politics. One of their chief characteristics is an inordinate love of tobacco, inherited equally from their paternal and maternal ances­ tors, for the woman of the Ozarks who does not "chaw" U the ex­ ception. Among the stalwart, muscular, raw-boned and lazy young men of Johnsville, one of the mountain towns of Jsisper County, was Jim Uenson. Jim came no nearer to be­ ing handsome and was not an iota more ambitious than the boys wnose comrade he had been sinco childhood, but he possessed one advantage He had a fair education Jim's father was ;ibove the average mountaineer in intelligence. Providence had given him a mind which reasoned that edu­ cation would bring a new and better life into the mountains, and, though himself unable to get a schooling, he had resolved when Jim was a mere child that his boy should he educate I. Accordingly Jim, who was naturally bright; had been seat away to school at Carthage, had gained a fair knowledge Of books and, incidentally, had become acquainted with the wicked ways of the civilized world. When he went back to the mountains he had learned other things than those taught by the professor of math­ ematics and grammar, ai.d ihe spirit of deviltry innate with an OzaTk boy was stronger than ever within him. Jim naturally became the leader among the young men or the neigh­ borhood. on account of what he had learned in books (for his comrades had an antipathy for learning*, but be­ cause he could tell the best stories, because he could drink the most moonshine whisky and, above all. be­ cause he could suggest the wildest and most outrageous pranks and had courage enough to lead the way in the perpetration of them. in all that region there was no fairer flower than winsome Madge Wilson. Madge was not a product of the mountains, as her leatures plainly indicated.1® She was not a queen of beauty, with the form of a Venus and the face of a Helen, but she was pretty. Twelve years before she had come into the mountains with her father. She was then i> years old and with her parents, a Philadel- phian, was passing through the mountains, of whose mineral wealth he had heard He was on his way to the Pacific slope, where, having lost his wife in the East by death, nearly all his fort ne by business reverses and his friends when his money failed, he was about to seek a new home aud another fortune. On the journey westward he had learned that there was a chance for profitable in­ vestment. in the Ozarks and had stopped off to investigate. Late one summer afternoon he had called at the cabin of Jim Benson's fatheratid had been taken in for a few days' stay. The next morning while walk­ ing alone in an unfrequented part of the mountains, as he entered a deep ravine the report of a rifle rang out and Wilson fell over--dead. A moon­ shiner had mistaken him for a rev­ enue spy, ^and that always means <leath in tlie Ozarks. He was buried with due respect and solemn mourn­ ing, while the child gazed -with tear- tilled, wondering eyes upon the scene ULd pleaded with them not to take tier papa away. Letters upon bis person gave addiessesof Philadelphia parties and they were written to, but .11 o response came; so one of the mount­ aineers adopted the little gin, | Madge. Government detectives investi- jfated the murder, but were unable to Lcate the man who did the shoot­ ing. Government detectives are al­ ways sharp and clever--in their own eyes. Jf these<Hellows had been as sharp as they presented, they might have learned that the murderer-- who was not a murderer at heart, but w^io under a mistaken impres­ sion had dooe what every illicit dis­ tiller believes to be his duty to him­ self and his fellow-mountaineers-- was none other than the kind- hearted old follow who bad adopted the girl. Madge grew up prettv and as wild as the country. She was not a typi­ cal mountain girl--she was too bright by far and retained too much of the East--but her adventures were more daring than those of her com­ panions. Human nature is much the same in the mountains and in the cities. What could be more natural than that the prettiest and |ie wildest snrl in Jasper County's k woods should become the sweetheart of educated and reckless Jim Benson? But Jim's heart was that of the man or the world, while Madge's was true as steel, full of a woman s trust aud love. Madge at IS looked upon Jim at 21 as her ideal. ANSE M'LAUKIN'S NERVE. One morning a mountaineer in Jim's town awoke to. find that two of his best horses had been stolen. You may kill a man in the southwest and. under most circumstances, they regard it as a manly act You take part in a lynching bee and they think that your courage amounts to a virtue. But steal a horse and-- well, you are a most detestable criminal, fit for any punishment. v\ hen the mountaineer found his two horses missing it didn't take him long to create a sensation in John­ son ville. An investigation followed and it looked as if Jim Benson would have to take a great tumble in pub­ lic esteem. Jim had not been home since the morning previous. Offi­ cers were soon searching for him. But Jim and the horses were not all that had gone that night. Madge Wilson was missing. However, she had been in town the night before, while Benson had not been seen since morning, sof the mountaineers rea­ soned, they did not go together. But where was she? It was a three days' mystery. * * * * * * Three days later Jim was arrested near St Louis and lodged in the Carthage jail. At the same time Madge Wilson appeared before the District Court in session at Carthage and declared that she was guilty of horsestealing. The Judge eyed her from head to foot Her dress was that of the mountains, but her lan­ guage and her face were not "Giri, you are mad!" said the Judge, controlling as well as possible the emotion he felt "You steal a horse! The idea is absurd. But where and when do you say it occurred'^" "Three days ago. sir," coolly re­ plied Madge, '••two horses were stolen at Johnson ville, this county. To­ day Jim Benson was arrested for the crime. He is not guilty, though cir­ cumstances point to him. I can prove where he was that night 1 stole the horses." His gold-rimmed glasses almost fell from the Judge's nose as he threw up his head at this story. When he recovered from tne shock, the police authorities were summoned and a consultation held. Under the cir­ cumstances they could do nothing but lock the girl up. Benson was summoned before the court on the charge of horse-steallrig. He denied tl)e charge and told a plausible story of his doings since leaving Johson- ville so mysteriously. He was re­ turned to jail. There was some earnest talk in the mountain town when the story be­ came known. Madge Wilson had stolen the horses, eh? Well, that was worse than they had expected of her, even if she had been wild. But Madge had always been full of sur­ prises and bad done most unaccounta­ ble things; wh> not steal horses? Be­ sides, Jim Benson told a nice story about how he had been called out of Jobnsonvillg by a business venture which he/had recently entered into and gaye a good account of himself. And if! Madge didu't steal the horsey why did she say that she did? When the case was again called in court Benson was discharged. The Authorities didn't believe the girl's story, but there was no direct evi­ dence against Jim, while she pleaded guilty. .Judges are kind and sympa­ thetic :is a rule, but the law is inexo­ rable and so the girl Was sentenced to two years in the State penitentiary at Jefferson City. The pretty crea­ ture never fliched when sentence was pronounced, though she wiped two or three tears out of her eyes and seemed exceedingly thoughtful. The spectators thought it was remorse and expressed pity for the girls de­ pravity as she walked out of the court room between t.wo officers. Jim Benson was there among the spectators, but his head hung low. He knew who the real criminal was, he knew what a sacrifice was being made, but the man who stole the mountaineer's horses in the darkness of night was a coward. Three month's later when officers accident­ ally discovered the true story and he was called upon to take Madge's place in the penitentiary, he learned to realize that the girl who would give up the tree air of the Ozarks for a stuffy, narrow iell in a prison, who would sacrifice not only her freedom but her reputation for love, un­ worthy though it weie, deserved the honor and the affection of a nobler heart that Jiui Benson's. -- Utica Globe.

Bice, of Louisa, Law­ rence Comity, late Circuit Judge of the Sixteenth Judicial District of Kentucky, and few men in that or any other Stat-3 have.passed through a more remarkable experience and live to tell the tale. About six years ago he was attacked with sciatic rheumatism, which developed 6o fast that he soon lost all control of his legs. His whole systam became deranged and he was indeed a physical wreck. The muscles of his limbs were reduced by atrophy to mere strings, and he felt ihat his life was gradually wearing away. Eminent physicians were consulted and all known means of relief employed without avail, mid it lndeea seeniod as though Kentucky was to lose one of her most valued citizens. ' it was at this time that Judge Rice first heard of I)r. Williams' I'injt Fills for Pale People. lie promptly applied them to his own case, and as a result he is to-day a well man. The effect of the IMlls was marvelous. Judge Ktee regained the power of his limbs,Jus appetite returned, and nature "fcgairi^performed her functions properly. The above case was investigated and vouched for by the Covington Post, and stands as one of the most remarkable cures known in the annuls of medicine.

Chicago theatergoers have al­ ready had an opportunity of getting a brief glimpse at the many bright features of this entertaiument, which had such phenomenal success at the Casino, New York, and the enormous attendance which characterized Its first week's engagement at another theater Is certain to be Im­ proved upon during the return engage­ ment at the Chicago Opera House The company engaged in presenting "The Pass­ ing Show." is one of the strongest in a com­ edy way that have been gotten together in many years. It includes Vernona Jarbeau. Ions a favorite as a star, John lienshaw, a clever comedian who has long ago estab­ lished a Chicago reputation; Charles J. Ross, the brightest ail-around burlesque artist of the day: Lucy Daly, the clever little danseuse, and Canary A Lederer's original pickaninnies. The matinees of "The Passing Show" will be given on Wednesday and Saturday. Manager David Henderson has arranged to fill one of the weeks left vacant by the departure of "Aladdin Jr." with John Russell's Come­ dians, who will present an entirely new farce-comedy entitled "The Review." Mr. Russell's excellent company needs no in­ troduction to the patrons of the Chicago Opera House. It has amused them for several weeks every season since it was first organized, and whatever the vehicle In which the talents of Mr. Russell's art­ ists have been made manifest, their recep­ tion in Chicmro has always been most cor­ dial "The Review" will follow "The Pass­ ing Show" at the Chicago Onnf* House, ABOUT 40,000,000 feet of timber are annually made up into matches in this eountry. TO PUT ON needed flesh, no mat­ ter how you've lost it, take Dr. Pierce's 'Golden Medical Dis­ covery. It works wonders. By restor­ ing the Bormal ac­ tion of the deranged ins and functions, it builds the ilesh np to a safe and healthy standard--promptly, pleasantly and nat­ urally. The weak, emaciated, thin, pale •7- and puny are made strong, plump, round and rosy. Noth­ ing so effective _ as a strength restorer and flesh maker is known to medical sci­ ence ; this puts on healthy flesh not the fat of cod liver'oil and its filthy compounds. It rouses every organ of the body to ac­ tivity, purifies, enriches and vitalizes the blood so that the body feels refreshed and strengthened. If you are too thin, too weak, too nervous, It may be that the food assimilation is at fault. A certain amount of bile is necessary for the reception of the fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver holds back this element which would help digestion. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery stimulates, tones up and invig­ orates the liver, nourishes the blood, and the muscles, stomach and nerves get the rich blood they require. Spent Hundreds of Dollars with as Benefit. M. J. COLEMAN of jj Sargent St., Roxbury, Mass., writes: "Aner suffering from dyspepsia and coustipation with un­ told agony for at least 18 months, I am more than pleased to say that after usiu£ Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets' for one month, I was entirely cured, and from that day to this I do not know, thank Cod, what even a slight headache is. I paid a doctor on Tremont St., Boston, in one day (for his advice only,) the sum of fio.oo with $3.50 for _ ,, -- medicine, and derived no J • ^ OJ.EMAK, ESQ. benefit. I got more relief in one hour from your medicines, as far as my stomach was concerned, than from all the other medicine 1 used. If any person who reads this is suffering from constipation and will use your icinc as I have done, he will never regret it."
