the Boy Essayist.
The boy was nearing the time of
is graduation frpin the high school.
He was a favorite in the school, says
'the Lewiston Journal, but he
taken higher rank on the baieball and
football fields than he bed In the
-classroom, and this was when he be
gan to be sorry. The "exerclaea" of
graduation day loomed large before
him. He was down for an essay. It
looted more formidable than any ob
stacle he had ever encountered on
;tha athletic field, and the^ nearer the
•day came the larger it looked.
There was a Harvard man staying
in the village at the time, and to him,
finally, the young athlete went and
be sought his help in the writing of
‘the essay. The university man was
;amused, but he concealed his etho-
Ttions.
“Well,’' he said, ‘a graduation es
say is a fussy piece of work. I hare
not done much writing lately, and I
hardly feel like tackling such a Job.”
The boy's face,, fell.
“Still,” the Harvard man added, ”1
don’t knowy-perhaps—I suppose yah
have picyfd out the Subject yon want
to writy about?”
“Yea,” answered the young athlete,
“the ''subject is 'Self-Reliance.'”

VETOING the matter with
/j ~ you Jim?” Ami Ruth sur-
“ 71 1 her brother keenly.
O veycil her
AA- p “No.”
’WOW' ''What’s
s the use of fib
bing to me?” she demand
ed with sisterly frankness. “Some
thing’s gone wrong, I can see that
clearly enough. Any trouble at the
offleo?”
“No.”
“Well,” Impatiently, "what Is it,
then? You always tell me things in
the end, so you might ns well go nhead
and save me the trouble of dragging
it from you.”
Jim stared moodily out of the win
dow* and vouchsafed no reply.
“You’ve not quarrelled with Clarice,
have you?”
A swift change in her brother’s face
told Ruth that she had touched on the
truth, and she followed up her advan
tage promptly.
“That is it, I know. Now what was
the fuss about?”
‘‘There was no fuss and no quarrel,
my snpient siRter, only—”
‘Go on, do!”
“I made a trifling error when 1
supposed #bo cared for me, that was
all.”
“Arc you crazy, Jim? I nm sure
that Clarice cares for you. Don’t
Jump nt conclusions.”
“I didn’t Jump at any conclusions, 1
assure you. I asked her to marry me,
and she flatly refused.”
“But why? why? why?” Ruth asked
!n honest bewilderment. “I know
something of girls, and I am positive
that Clarice cares for you.”
I had sometimes entertained such
an idea myself, but you see that we
both made a slight mistake.”
‘Don’t he so maddening, Jim, dear;
tell me all she said. I am awfully
sorry for you, but I cannot help feel
ing that there is a mistake some
where.” v
Not much chance for it,” .Tim Ruth
erford said grimly; “she had fifty un
answerable arguments against mar
riage. She liked me, she was good
enough to say, but she did not dare
try the trials and tribulations of do
mestic life with any man. Servants
were always leaving on a moment's no
tice, and generally, too, when the mis
tress was 111. She had seen so many
men act like brutes ou such occasions
that she had not the courage to face
I tried to laugh her out of the
mood. I told her to ask you if I did
not behave like nil angel in all crises
of that kind ”
‘You really do,” Ruth Interposed
warmly.
Jim nodded his thanks and then re
sumed his story with a discouraged
air.
It was all no use, for Clarice said
that she had observed that men’s na
tures changed after marriage, and that
some who had been models of courtesy
to their mothers and sisters w*ere the
embodiments of selfishness and incon*
siderateness toward their wives.”
“Well, of all things!”
“Oh, there was lots more of it, too,
and she was In deadly earnest. I
never saw her in such a mood. I had
a good business, but I was not rich,
and I would probably expect her to
run the house and dress herself, too,
on about five dollars a week*— Ruth,
I say,” breaking off suddenly with a
pathetic appeal in his voice, “what do
you suppose made her talk so?”
“I haven’t the least idea. I’ve not
seen Clarice for three or four days, but
I cannot see how she could have al
tered so radically in so short a time.
I am golug to see ner, though, before
I am an hour older and find out the
truth.”
“I don't suppose that there is any-
. She seemed to kiidtf
her owh mind,” jjm Returned jHd&tpift;
. “Now. that is jjist tyhat site .didn’t
do. it ti nit tisfe tor tis 16 argue, Jim,
but it ,1 can find a grain of comfort
for you; I will. The whole thing if
beyond my comprehension.”
When Ruth Rptherford (an allitera
tive name which the girl detested)
was putting on her wraps preparatory
to a belligerent call on her friend, she
heard Clarice's voice in .the hall held#;

nastily, knowing perfectly well that
Jim was in the room Just beyond.
“Now, I want you to give an account
of yourself. What have you been do
ing to Jim? He Is Just about broken
hearted, for he believes all the non
sense yon were talking to him yester*
day. What did you mean by it, Clar

iihuti.Vv although her Voice trembled
ft little* “he Is not brilliant at all! HO
is the most btupid inati that fever
lived!”
'“Perhaps yoti will kindly explain,”
Ruth said coldly.
But this Clarice stubbornly refused
to do, nnd it was not until Ruth put off
her dignity and descended to tender
coaxing that she drew the truth out ot
her friend.
“He—be enme around yesterday
morning—and I had been suffering for
three days with an ulcerated tooth, t
didn’t have a wink of sleep during all
of that time, and t was too great a
coward to go to a dentist at first Well*
Jlni came theri* and of Course my
nerves were ail on edge and the world
looked blue and I was all unstrung,
and t couldn’t see anything in its
proper perspective. Everything was
distorted and out of proportion—oh,
you understand how I felt—’*
“Perfectly,” said Ruth, with gjynpa
thetlc comprehension.
“You called him brilliant Just now,
but it seems to me that even a man
might have known oetter than to mako
a proposal of marriage at such a time,
I thought at once of all the skeletons
I had seen In married lives, and of
every warning I had ever received
from any one on the subject and—well
—of course 1 would not listen.”
'I should think not, Indeed,” Ruth
said promptly. “I do not wonder that
you called him stupid. I hope that
tooth is all right now. Clarice, It has
done mischief enough I should say.”
“The tooth has been pulled and I
have had a ulght’s sleep, thanks.”
“Then perhaps you would not object
to hearing the story over—Jim,” rais
ing her voice, “I think that you may
come in now.”
Jlmc came, obedient to the summons,
and Rath, after a murmured “Bless
you. my children.” had the good taste
to leave tho room hastily.—Wnvcrley

When an Oil Lnmp Win a Curiosity.
C. M. Shackelford, a Shelby Count?
pioneer, was tbt first man to introduce
oil in the county. Some time In the
'50s he \lslted St. Louis and brought to
Shelbyville two lamps and a couple of
gallons of oil.
When the citizens of the village
learned it there was considerable ex
citement—much more than when the
electric lights were turned on a few
years ago. About 400 people gathered
at the store to watch Mr. Shackelford
take his life in his hands, lie loaded
up the lnmp, turned the wick and pre
pared for illnmlnatlon by fastening a
paper lighter on the end of a stick.
The crowd looked uneasy, but didn’t
run, and the new lighting works was
an entire success. t)ll cost $3 per gal
lon. Sir. Shackelford bought some to
introduce the improvement among his
fellow citizens, but he only disposed of
a gallon the following year.—Clarence

Water power In Mexico.
Enohnou* Amount of Hydraulic Fore.
Going to Wastd Thsra.' ,
Modern Mexico haB often bad occa
sion to call attention to the fact that,
though fuel is scarce in Mexico, still
the country Is supplied with an
abundance of power for the move
ment of prim*e motors. We refer, says
Modern Jlexieo, of ©ourse, to water
power. The construction of feldetHft
plants for the purpose of furnishing
light and power has hardly begun
in p re portion to the demand and the
water power available.
Mexico; which undoubtedly stands
in much greater n^ed of electric
power than either France of Switzer
land, on account of tho higher price
of fuel, is supplied with an almost
unlimited amount of hydraulic force.
In the central mesa of the republic,
Which averages 0,000 feet above the
sea level, rise a great number Of
fivers and streams, the Baisas, Lenia,
Tames!; and Panuco being but a few
the available water power, it is prob-
sorbed by electric plants for trans
mission to distant points. In the City
of Mexico, under present conditions,
It probably costs at least $190 a year,
Mexican money, per horsepower to
produce power from, steam, and even
In tho most favored districts, where
fuel is cheap, it will reach $125.
The coal barons of the United
States are, perhaps, her most solid
aristocracy, and those who get con
trol of “La Huill© Blanch” (the white
coal) of this country will hold in the
nuar future a much more important
position. The power Is here, on top
of the ground. It does not have to
be mined or transported. It will
carry itself with but a wire to go on,

Fish and Dog Story From Kentucky.
John T. Parish, of tbe Holland coui
try, says he has a dog that can catch
more fish and better fish than any
man. He says tfiat when he arises
in the morning, if be feels that lie
would relish a fish for breakfast, ho
makes his wants known to his dog,
and in u very short time a nice fish
is in the frying pan.
Mr. Parish lives near the river, and
he says he has erected a little plat
form on tho edge of the water for his
dog's use and benefit. He says the
dog will perch himself on this plat
form and watch for his game. When
a nice fish that be likes the looks of
comes near enough he dives from
his perch and never fails to make u
catch. During shoaling time he fre
quently catches two fish at a time.

Whisky Peddled in Wagon Axles.
An entirely novel scheme ot whisky*
peddling has been discovered in the '
Chickasaw Nation. The culprits, who j
are peddlers, travelled in an old wagon j
drawn by a poor span of Indian ponies j
and were ostensibly buying eggs aud
poultry, but on the sJy they would I
sell small bottles of whisky to farm
ers and Indiana throughout the neigh
borhood at $1 per pint. The officers
discovered that both axles of tho wag
on were of iron and very large. Upon
further investigation it was discovered
that these axles were hollow and
would hold about four gallons each.
The peddlers would remove a bolt
and insert a small plug and draw the
whisky out of these axles.

Every child born into the
world with an inherited or

torturing, disfiguring humors
of the Skin and Scalp, becomes
an object of the most tender

its suffering, but because of the
dreadful fear that the disfigu

duty of mothers of such afflict
