. 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.'” T AGAIN HER DEAR FRIENDS.

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- .

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 Magazine. 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 (Mo.) Courier. 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, and Mexico is a country that oifcr3 many conditions favorable to gigantic industrial enterprises.

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. Door Sir: This that I have of any m«i Or. Biggers’ Huckleberry Cordial Ths Orest Southsrn Rsmedy.

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. Kunlun Fast Days. Fast days in Russia are numerous.

Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflict ed children to acquaint them selves with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment available, viz.; the CUTICURA Treatment, con sisting of warm baths with CUTICURA Soap, and gentle anointings with CUTICURA Ointment, the great Skin Cure.
