He Wrote “Sweet By.e and Bye."
The author . of that touching
melody, “In the Sweet Bye and
Bye,” [a growing'blind, and in a
short while S. Fillmore Bennett,
who has thrilled so many hearts
and brought tears to so many
eyes, will have passed to that
“beautiful shore, ”
As he himself pathetically ex
presses it, he sits “in a haze” and
lets memory guide his fingers be
tween the lines when he writes,
but it is feared that even thi^
frojace will be denied him,
find his anxious friends will no
longer receive the few blurred
characters which now take the
place of the beautiful, scholarly
penmanship so . familiar to them
in the past.
Dr. Bennett has been very busy
for some time in reproducing in
a volume of melodious verses the
life, habits and customs of the
early settlers^ in Illinois, particu
larly those of Lake and McHenrv
counties, when the whistle of the
woodman’s axe was beard instead
of the shriek of the locomotive,
and life was a forest idyl in which
the wild deer and the Indian were
prominent pictures.“The Pioneers”
will preserve to posterity many
striking incidents of frontier life,
so graphically depicted that it is
not necessary to have lived among
the scenes to appreciate the fine
local coloring he has given the
story. The author finished his
work before his sight failed, and
it is well known that the song
which has been sung in every lan
guage brought its author fame
instead of wealth, it will be a
graceful tribute to Dr. Bennett to
make his “Pioneers” a satisfaction
to his declining y«ars. The home
of the blind poet is in Richmond,
Illinois.

A Narrow Escape.
One day a mother who had been
to a country house near Marseilles
was returning at twilight to the city
with her son, a child of 8 years,
who had been put in a peach bas
ket borne bv a donkey, and the
mother, fearing the child might
catch cold (it was in November),
had covered him with a thick
brown shawl. Tired with running
| around the country all day, cozy
and warm under the thick shawl,
the child was soon asleep and hid
den by the sides of the basket.
There is a local custom house at
the gates of Marseilles, and when
the inspector surmises that any
package contains contraband arti
cles he thrusts a sharp steel pick
through it. He was preparing to
do this with the basket when the
mother, some distance behind, saw
his intention and shrieked out that
her son was in the basket. It was

Noisy Noise Annoys an Oyster.
A elastomer iu a fish dealer’s
place was leaning against a barrel
of oysters when he turned and
addressed the bivalves:
“Hello, there 3 What are you
gaping for? Getting tired of
being cooped up, are you?”
A woman standing near peered
timidly into the barrel. “Say,”
she asked,“are those oysters live?”
“I should -eay they are,” an
swered the mam “Look at them
hustling for air. Keep still a
minute and you’ll see each one
of them with eaouth wide open—
or shells, whieh amounts to the
same thing.”
Sure enough, after a spell of
silence a queer rustling was heard
in the barrel and the oysters
opened their shells and gaped for
air, but the slightest noise closed
them again as tight as a drum.
“I’m used to their performance,
you know,” said the fish dealer.
“Why you’d think sometimes they
were coming out of the barrel, but
they are just taking a new supply
of air, and they can shut up
quicker than a wink. Oysters are
not so slow after all.”
“I should say not,” said the wo
man customer, moving away from
the barrel as the rustling began
again.—Chicago Times-Herald.

Now is the time
that every one
should take a
spring tonic to
strengthen the
system and pre
pare for the extra
demands of Nature. Every spring
the system is thoroughly over
hauled—there is a general house-'
cleaning going on within. The
impurities that have b : :n accumu
lating for a year must be got
ten rid of, and the system reno
vated and prepared for the siege
of summer. Unless Nature is as
sisted in this task, the strain on
the system is too severe, and a
breakdown is the £ei\llL Some
people neglect to supply this as
sistance, and as a result they are
overcome by an enervating, de
pressed feeling, their energies re
lax, appetite fails, and they are
totally disabled for a season.
Everybody just now needs a tonic,
and Swift’s Specific
S.S.S. r T r he Blood
is logically the best tonic on the
market. The general health needs
building up, hence a tonic is needed
that is entirely harmless. S. S. S.
is purely vegetable, and is the only
blood remedy that is guaranteed
to contain no potash, mercury, or
other harmful mineral ingredient.
It is Nature’s remedy, being made
from roots and herbs gathered
from Nature’s great storehouse. It
thoroughly cleanses the blood of
all impurities, tones up the gen
eral health, renews the appetite
and imparts new life and vigor to
the entire system. Dangerous
typhoid fever and other prevalent
summer diseases seldom attack a
person whose system is thoroughly
cleansed and
toned up with
S. S. S. in the
spring. Get S.
S. S. and be pre
pared. Sold by all
druggists.
A circus man has offered the
Secretary of War a herd of twenty
elephants for war purposes. The
animals, it is said, are all vete-
rans of wars, having been employ
ed in fighting in the Punjab and
elsewhere. It is not thought that
the government will put an ele
phant brigade in the field, but at
the same time it is not to be lost
sight of that elephants have been
used in war from time immemorial
and that Great Britain^ now em
ploys them in her far eastern
campaigns. Should the United
States determine to invade Cuba,
an elephant troop, the animal
carrying rapid-fire guns on their
backs, might be found very effec
tive.—Savannah News.

Sound Logic.
According to the New York Mail
and Express that famous Southern
clergyman, Rev. Dr. Porter, re
cently told a good story illustrat
ing the whimsical ingenuity of the
Ethiopian mind. A Southern
planter, who was puzzled by the
disappearance of a great deal of
rice, found out that it had been
purloined by a favorite slave. He
sent for the latter and said:
“Sam, I am very sorry to discover
that you are a thief and have been
taking mv rice.”
The slave smiled and answered :
“I took your rice, masser; but I’m
no thief.”
“How do you make that out?”
came the query.
“Well, masser, does I belong to
you, or does I not?”
“Yes, you belong to me.’ ’
“An’ don’t that rice belong to
you?”
“Certainly. ”
“Well, then, if I take that rice
and eat that rice it belongs to you
still. It hasn’t gone away from
you, and no other man’s got it,
and I couldn’t have stolen it,
cculd I?”
Another Sort of “Vice.”
“Several good religious people,”
says the Louisville Commercial,
“who are accustomed to drive out
the Brownsboro road, were consid
erably shocked the other morning
when, on passing a blacksmith
shop at the edge of the town, they
were brought face to face with a
large sign, ‘Vice for sale here.’
One old lady, who has for years
been identified with philanthropic
and charitable work, was especially
indignant. Purely in the interests
of society she undertook to dis
cover just what particular style of
evil was for sale. Entering the
shop with her nose high in the
air, she approached the proprietor.
‘Man,’ she said, ‘I understand you
have vice for sale*’ The brawny
blacksmith fell back before the
incarnation of haughty, offended
virtue. '‘Yes, ma’am,’ he replied,
weakiy. ‘I,’ went on the woman,
austerely, ‘am a member of the
Society for the Suppression of
Vice, and I wish to see what form
of the deadly sin you have.’ The
man turned and led the way to
the back of the shop, where a steel
vise was screwed to a workshop.
‘There it is, ma’am, and the very
best steel, too; it’s dead cheap at
$2 .60.’ She has not yet recovered.”
An odd tombstone has been put
in a cemetery in Lincoln. It marks
the grave of James Jacobs, a
butcher, who died in 1891. He
was of a roving disposition, so his
father had a valise modeled in
marble placed over the grave. The
inscription, in addition to name, j
date of birth and death, is: “Here I
is where he stopped last.”

The Inferno of Dante.
The story of Cuba as lold by the
Consular reports is on* 1 or lmrr*»rs.
The nation whose policy embodies
such barbarisms should be looked
upon as a parish. , It is well nigh
incredible that almost within sight
of our shores 400,000 human beinga
could have been sacrificed to the*
Spanish Moloch. It is understood
that the horrifying testimony is<
not of one man, but of many men.
The Consular confirmation
comes to the American people upon
the heels of the reports made by
Calhoun, Proctor. Thurston, Gal-
linger and others. The doubting
Thomases must now believe.
Such cold, cruel, relentless sava
gery finds hardly a parallel in the
world’s history. Civilization re
volts at the awful spectacle.—

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides,no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. For
tunately a friend advised trying ‘Elec
tric Bitters,’ and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use for-
three w’eeks, and am now a well man.
I know they saved my life, and robbed
the grave of another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only 50 cents
per bottle at M. C, Brown Sc Co's drug
store.
A large number of counterfeit
silver quarters or 25-cent pieces
are in circulation in Macon, and
so clever is the counterfeit that it
is hard to detect.
