WHEN BENEATH THE EARTH I AM SLEEPING,
BY. WILLIAM MOTHERWELL.
HE SAVES THE BOY,
GOOD REASONS.
A dozen club women of St. Louis re
oently reported upno "the spread of the
divorce evil in tho United States," as
signing the following reasons :
Girls uiorry men they know little shout,
There is too much independence be
tween husbaod nod wile,
Young people frequently ure obliged lo
live with their parents.
Marriages are regurded as simply a
contract without the religious elemont.
Mi nisi en have married persons they
knew wee not fitted to he married.
The hlaekmnith's sun cannot live hap
pily with the daughter of the man in a
higher social sphere.
Lawyers, who solieit trade by gu-irsn-
Washington scarcely wailed to hear tce'nK prompt divorces, are largely re-
ese words, lie remembered the ni'""'""'c'
th
bright, sunny-haired little boy whom he
ad often seen playing before a cabin
nearby. He took a rapid glance down
the angry rushing stream, and saw the
little boy's white dress, and without an
other moment a hesitation he thiew off
his ooat and leaped into the rapids.
How eagerly they watched as the
brave young man struggled to reach the
child.
Just before they reaohed the falls ' he
seised the boy and held him up with his
strong right arm.
What a shout of joy came from those
who were watching from the shore! But
alas, both man and boy disappeared over
the falls. The mother ran forward in
terror, but soon gave a glad cry as she
saw them at the foot of tho falls unharm
ed. Washington was still holding her
ohild and making his way toward the
shore. He was Dearly exhausted when
he finally reached the shore with tbe
ohild safe, though unconscious.
Elopements ome entertainment and
amusement, but not the anxiety which
thry sbould.
The example of New Yorks "Four
Hundred" is bad for the rest ot the coun
try.
Women 01 today do not show enough
loyalty to tneir husbands.
Divorce is so easy to secure, married
persons treat ligbty bonds of matrimony,
xoung women do not heed advice of
parents in regard to marriage.
She Would you have me believe I
am the first girl you ever proposed to?

TRUE TO HER PROMISE-
Wheo I between tbe cold red earth J5 sleeping, lift's fever o'er,
Will there for me bo any bright eye weeping mat I'm bo more? c -
Will there for me be any bright eye weeping of heretofore t.,
When the great winds, through leafless forests rushing, like full hearts bfaax,'!
When the swollen streams, o'er crag and golly gushing, sad musio mske ;
Will there be one whose heart despair is crushing mourn for my sake?
When the bright sun upon that spot is shining with purest ray,
And the small flowers their buds and blossoms twining burst through that olay ;
Will there be one still on that spot repining lost hopes all day ?
When the night shsdows, with the ample sweeping of her dark pall,
The world and all its manifold creation sleeping, the great and small
Will there be one, even at that dread hour, weeping for me for all ?
When do star twinkles with its eye of glory on that low mound,
And wintry storms have with their ruins hoary its ioneness crowned j
Will there be then one versed in misery's story paoing it round ?
It may be so but this is selfish sorrow to ask such meed
A weakness and a wickedness to borrow from hearts that bleed,
The wsilings of to-day for what to-moirow shall never need.
Lay me then gently in my narrow dwelling, thou gentle heart ;
And though thy bosom should with grief be swelling, let no tear start ;
It wert in vsio for Time hsth long been kneeling ssd one, depart I
Josiah, said Mrs. Chugwater, "what
do you do at those lodge meetings you
attend twice a month?"
"You don't expect me to tell you that,
do you ? Our proceedings are secret."
"A man oughtn't to have any secrets
from bis wife. What is the pass word ?"
"I've taken solemn obligstion never
to oommunicate that to any one outside."
"I'm not an outsider. A man and
his wife art one. You have right to
communicate it to mo."
Mr. Chugwater reflected.
"Well," he said, "if I repeat the pass
word to you once, will you promise never
to ask me to say it again ?"
"Yes."
"And you will never tell anybody
else?"
"Never."
Whereupon he rapidly uttered tho as
tonishing word :
"Magelleinellikszcoalotaruvistualizabe-
lillihwinkamanakalilooleroo."
. Mrs. Chugwater kept her promise,
She never repeated that password to a
living soul.
"MORAL SUASION "
"The writer knows a mother who
strongly denounces ocrporal punishment j
whoso favorite method of punishment is
to lend her ohild to bed without supper,'
writes William H. Hamby, in Good
Houtketping. "Perhaps she thinks
tht ' gnawing . of that child's empty
stomach if tool punishment. Another
who considers the use of the switch a
relic of bloody days will make ber little
girl sit for three hours in a straight chair.
'"In faot, most moral suasion is not
moral suasion. It is simply a combina
tion of everything that is not whipping.
"The story is told of a small boy who
was asked by his ancle if he got s whip
ping that day at school.
" 'Naw.' said tho boy; 'they don't
whip at our school.'
" 'Don tf said the uncle id surprise.
'How do they make yoi mind?'
" 'Moral suashioD,' replied the boy
shortly.
'What's that?'
" '0, they stand us on the floor, keep
us in at recess, mske us toe a line, pull

This great stock medicine is a

is a medicine, not a cheap food or

in coarser form than Thulford s
Black-Draught, renowned for the
cure of the digestion troubles of
persons, it has the same qualities
of invigorating digestion, stirring
up tho torpid liver and loosening
the constipated bowels for all stock
and poultry. It is carefully pre
pared and its action is bo healthful
that stock grow and thrive with an
occasional dose in their food. It
cures hog cholera and makes hogs
grow fat. It cures chicken cholera
said roup and makes hens lay. It
Cures constipation, distemper and
Colda in horses, murrain in cattle,
And makes a draught animal do

It gives animals and fowls ot all
