If only sweetest bells were rune.

If only grandest poets sung,
i There'd be no simple little rhymes.
The modest clinging vine adds grace

And 'mid earth's mighty is a place -
To people with just common folks.
Not they the warriors who shall win
Upon the battle field a name
To sound the awful din ;
Not theirs the painter's deathless
fame,
Not theirs the poet's muse that brings
The rhythmic gift his soul invokes ;
Theirs but to do the simple things
That duty gives just common folks.
Fate has not lifted them above
The level of the human plain;
They share with men a fellow loye
In touch with pleasure and with
pain.
One great, far reaching brotherhood,
With common burdens, common
yokes,
And common wrongs and common
army of just the common
folks.

1 HE PEOPLE AND THE PALACES OF
JAIPUR THE- WONDERFUL.
Tourists In Search ol Soveltr Will
Find It In Tliln Hjadoo City Where
Squalor and Beauty Mlnsrle The
Palace and City o. Amber.
Compared with Ajmoro. and Indeed
with many of thu i-I.i. of India, Jaipur
is a mere Infant, having been in .exist
ence scarcely 200 years. The absolute
uniformity of its .buildings, both in de
sign and material, a 16vely rose colored
sandstone having been used, makes one
feel as if they must have been construct
ed by the "genii of the lamp" in response
to the hasty summons of an imperious
master. And this impression of hurried
magic is only increased when one finds;
that the upper stories are more often
than not merely a decorative shell, with-j
in which is space and nothing more. j
Yet Jaipur is a town of considerable
modern importance, and its wide streets
are daily filled with a motley throng of
native buyers and sellers, with a sprin
kling of curiosity stricken tourists. Here,
pacing softly on his fcadded feet, may be
seen a hooded cheetah, submissive in his
blindness to his leaders. But let the hood
slip, and "'Ware the tiger!" Here a
naked, ash covered fakir strides proudly
through the crowds, his long, matted hair
hanging down his back, his red lidded
eyes taking apparent cognizance of no
one, at his heels one or two disciples of
either sex. And here, serenely conscious
of his importance as he swings majes
tically from side to side in the wide path
which every one hastens to clear for him,
comes one of the maharajah's elephants,
bearing on his broad forehead the paint-;
ed insignia of his royal master.
It is in Jaipur that the traveler is first,
subjected to the overpowering temptation'
of Indian brasswork I use the adjective
"overpowering" advisedly. Here, tobj.

undergo when the lovely satis long cot-J
ton cloths worn by both men and women!
are brought out to dazzle the eye and
open the pocketbook. These cloths are
from five to nine yards long and are dyed
in the softest and most beautiful colors
that eastern taste can suggest and so
long as two threads hang together those
colors seem to endure.
The process of laundering these saris is,
like most processes in this land where
taking things easy has been reduced to a
fine art, a very simple one. The precepts
of their native religions, however they
may differ in other respects, are alike in
compelling many ablutions. So Hindoo,
Mohammedan. Sikh and Buddhist when
about to take a bath, will strip down to
the loin cloth and give their other gar
ment the same treatment given to their
bodies, after which they drape it around
their legs and shoulders, wet or dry, as it
may be, assured that the kindly sun of
India will do the rest
The ancient city of 'Amber and Jaipur's
former capital lies about five miles to the
east of the present royal residence. It is
reached by a long avenue lined by a tall
hedge of cacti, behind which are scat
tered venerable tombs, ruined temples
and deserted villas. The famous palace
of Amber, second in renown to only one
other in all this great land of palaces, lies
on the rocky side of a range of hills, up
whose rugged slopes climbs the but
tressed wall of the old city, and high
above all stands the guardian fort its
ramparts unmanned, its . watch towers
forsaken, its very existence an anomaly,
where there is nothing left to guard but
empty walls. In a hollow below the
palace a tiny lake ruffles it bravely in
the passing breeze: on its bosom the
creamy lotus blooms, and in its depths
the palace sees the constant reflection of
her forsaken chnrms. 'Tis a very Vashti
among palaces, and the preferred Esther
at Jaipur is not to be compared to her.
Without were jutting balconies, with
screens of cunningly carved alabaster.
latticed windows behind which dark eyes
had flashed and soft voices mnrmnred.
and broad marble step3 that bad echoed
to the tread of many a princely warrior.
Within wert? rows upon rows of fluted
columns, miles of marble halls, stately
pavilions where the "lord of lords" had
dispensed justice and injustice to his
waiting vassals and vaulted rooms whose
ceilings and walls were curiously inlaid
with the mirrored and spangled work for
which Jaipur has long been famous. The
mirrors used in the decorations are not
more than an inch square, and the ef
fect of the innumerable reflections as one
stands in an alcove and moves the hands
and head is both bewildering and beau
tiful. Simple prose fails to give any adequate
idea of the beauty and wealth which the
oriental potentates lavished and lavish
upon the magnificent buildings which
they erect today, occupy tomorrow and
desert-in a twelvemonth. They are scat
tered from one end of India to the other,
abandoned to the birds, the bats and the
tourist Amber, however, is not entirely
given over to these three. At the head
of one flight of steps stands a grimy,
smoky temple to Kali the Terrible, and
daily a kid is sacrificed here to propitiate
or appease this dreadful goddess.
The morning we were there a little
bleating creature was tugging at its rope
as if aware of the impending fate, and al
tar, floor and steps were stained with the
blood of many a previous sacrifice. The
attendant priests showed ns the heavy
sacrificial knives and offered for a small
monetary consideration to let us see the
ceremony. Looking backward, I almost
wish I had seen it, but at the moment
and face to face with the trembling vic
tim, which tried to climb info myarms.
nothing could have induced me to give it
the indifferent sanction of my presence.
It was midnight when we reached Jal
pur,- and the whole countryside lav . si
lent and shadowless under the white light
of the full moon. As we passed from
the station to the neighboring hotel we
stopped short in the road beside some
shrouded figures prone by the highway
and from which came a continuous low
moaning. "What is this? we cried.
Are tnese people m?" "on. no." re
plied oor guide indifferently. " 'Tis only
the famine folk." And after this we met
them sadly often in our journeyings, with
emaciated limbs, sunken stomachs, shriv
eled skin and glassy eyes. . Strtoned to
the last rag. they would stand by the
wayside, holding oat clawlike hands and
crying: "Oh. my father! Oh, my mother!
I .die of starvation !" What wonder If

GOYERHOR TATE'S
Endorsement of Paine's
Celery Compound
Attracts the Attention of
-' m ... .
eHcal Journals.
Thousands of Such Cases
Mr. Storms' Letter.
A medical journal, says a writer in
the Boston Traveler, has the names
and addresses, and mil histories of.
hundreds of cases of chronic and acute
rheumatism that have been perma
nently cured by the wonderful remedy
wbich has recently been attracting
wide attention since Governor , Yates
of Illinois publicly endorsed it ' '
Notmnir else has ever been known
to cure like obstinate cases. When all
others have failed this marvelous
remedy for blood and nerves has made
sick people well. 1
Paine s celery compound corrects
unhealthy nerve action and feeds the
tbe nerve centres with the elements
needed to build them up again into
healthy tissues. It cleanses the blood
of every trace of poisonous humor
and encourages a rapid growth of the
red corpuscles upon which the vigor
of the entire body depends.
Its action is perfectly intelligible to
every able physician.
Diseases of the nervous system do
not come without warning. Rheuma
tism, dyspepsia, insomania. and dis
eases of the liver apd kidneys are but
loud cries for a prompt increase of
nourishment for the brain and nerve
centres. Paine's celery compound
A WESTERN CATTLE KING.
feeds these vital parts, and it is upon
its marvelous power of nourishing all
the nerve tissues and purifying tbe
blood that its remarkable cures depend.
Weariness, lack of energy, and de
spondency are more a matter of nerves
and brain than of the muscles. At
this season of the year when thou
sands of over-working people are en
tering upon the drudgery that will
have no cessation for nearly a year to
come, many are already showing the
symptoms that sooner or later result
from hurry, care, anxiety, and haste
without the amount of rest and recrea
tion that nature intended.
Thousands of tired mothers, school
teachers, and too ambitious scholars
will reveal tbe fact before the winter
is over.
It is high time for all to strike at the
root of tbe trouble. Begin the work
of recuperation and cure at the earliest
moment.
All who try it will find strength and
freedom from disease in Paine's celery
compound, which corrects unhealthy
nerve action, and supplies the veins
with pure, more abundant, more vig
orous blood. Paine's celery compound
is almost universally prescribed by
physicians who diner on many other
things, but who estimate at its proper
worth this greatest of all remedies for
the prevention and cure of disease. It
is no exaggeration to say that every
week brings hundreds of letters from
those who have used Paine's
celery compound and have been
benefitted by , it. Above is the pic
ture of Representative O. H. Storms,
one of the cattle kings of Kansas, who
says: "I regard Paine's celery com
pound as tbe most benencial and val
uable of remedies, especially during
the fall months." He writes as have
many thousands of others of the good
the remedy has done in his own case.
Let the reader try it and prove for
himself the abundant truth of all that
has been said.
It is not what Paine's celery com
pound says, but what it does, that
tells the story of its world-wide fame.

DDMONT'S AIRSHIP -
SUCCESSFUL TRIP.
But a Question Has Arisen as to
Whether It Was Done in
the Time Limit.
ROUNDED THE EIFFEL TOWER
Qreat Interest in the Experiment Mani
fested In Paris A Large Assemblage
of People Watched the Progress
of the Balloon
By Cable to tbe Morning 8 tar. .
' Paris, Oct. 19. The Santos Dumont
airship ascended at St. Cloud at 2:88
o'clock this afternoon and five minutes
afterwards began to round the Eiffel
tower. Santos Dumont completed his
trip successfully, but a question has
arisen as to whetherit was within the
time limit, thirty minutes. M. Deutcsh
says the aeronaut won the prize.' The
committee, however, declares Dumont
took thirty minutes 40 4-7 . seconds to
make the trip. Santos Dumont started
for the first time at 3:89, but on leav
ing the park his guide rope caught in
a tree and he was obliged to descend.
He started again, ros6 250 yards and
then pointed for the Eiffel tower, tbe
balloon going in a straight line. It was
seen through field glasses to arrive at
the lower and round it. The time, up
to that point ' with the wind, in the
balloon's favor, was eight minutes and
forty-five seconds.
It returned against the wind and
made slower headway, but still kept
in the true direction for St. Cloud,
which it reached in the total time of
twenty-nine minutes and fifteen sec
onds. But instead of descending im
mediately Santos Dumont made a
broad sweep over the Aero Club
grounds, with the result that another
minute and twenty-five seconds were
consumed before the workmen seized
the guide rope. Thus technically Santos
Dumont exceeded the time limit by
forty seconds.
The enormous crowd which had
gathered inside ' and outside the
grounds gave him a tremendous ova
tion. As his basket came within
speaking distance, Santos Dumont
leaned over the side and asked : "Have
I won the prize!"
Hundreds of - spectators shouted :
"Yes, yes." But the Count de Dion,
a member of the committee,' ap
proached and threw a damper on the
enthusiasm by saying: "My friend,
you have lost the prize by forty sec
onds."
Numbers of on-Iookers protested
against this announcement in lively
terms, but the Count de Dion said:
"That is the decision of the committee
in accordance with tbe rules of the
contest."
A number of ladies who were prea
ent threw flowers over the aeronaut,
others offered bouquets, and one ad
mirer, to the amusement of the on
lookers, even presented him with a
little white rabbit
At this moment M. Deutsch himself
arrived at tbe club grounds, having
only shortly before that moment
reached Paris from Biarritz. He ad
vanced, embraced Santos Dumont,
shook hands with him and said: "For
my. part, I consider that you have
won the prize."
The crowd then gave the two men
a great Ovation, cheering heartily for
Santos Dumont and Deutsch.
Santos Dumont claims that he won
the prize because he reached the park
within tbe time and that the original
rules governing the contest made no
mention of having to touch the
ground within the thirty minutes.
The dispute is due to the action of
the committee, which some time ago
modihed tbe terms of the contest by
inserting the latter stipulation. Santos
Dumont at the time protested and re
fused to be bound by the fresh regula
tion and strenuously upheld this view
with the Count de Dion and other
members of the committee. On de
cending to-day he finally declared
that he considered he bad won the
prize and would not try again. If the
money was withheld, it was not bis
fault.
M. Deutsch said he would give 25,
000 francs to the poor not withstand
ihg the decision of the committee, but
Santos Dumont declined to accept the
oner as a solution ol the difficulty.
There was a large assemblage of
people at the Eiffel tower and consid
erable interest was manifested in the
experiment in other parts of Paris.

- Barns and Ton Samson.
Tam Samson was a gray haired vet
eran sportsman, who on one occasion,
when ont inoorfowl shooting and feel
ing tbe weight of years begin to press
upon him, expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be his last and de
sired, In somewhat tragic style, that
he might die and be buried in tne
moors.
Burns, hearing of this, Immediately
composed his famous elegy, In which
he related at length the exploits and
skill of his hero, ending , each verse
with the plaintive line, "Tam Samson'
dead."
Some one having told Samson that
Burns bad written a poem "a gey
aneer ane" about him, be sent for the
poet and In something like wrath asked
him to read wnat ne naa written, ud
hearing the recital of his exploits he
smiled grimly and seemed by no means
displeased. "But," he exclaimed, "I'm
no' dead yet, Robin. Wherefore should
ye say that I'm dead?" Burns retired
for a few minutes; then he returned
and recited to Tam' the following verse,
which he had composed In the inter
val: PER CONTRA.'
Go, Fame, an canter like a filly
Through a' the streets an neuks of Elllie;
Tell ev'ry social, honest bOlie
To cease hi grievin.
For yet, unskaith'd by Death's gleg gnllie.

claimed, "That s no' bad. Robin; that'll

Hunting; Baboons In Sonth Africa.
The baboons which frequent this
rocky country are so destructive to the
stock farms. that organized raids have
to be mailt upon them. It Is useless
trying to get a shot at the baboon dur
ing the day; he is a wily creature and
knows the deadly effects of a rifle Just
as well as tbe hunter.
Early in tbe morning the party leave
the 'farm and quietly surround the
kraiiz, or rock, where the unsuspecting
baboons are sleeping. At the first
break of dawn-the bead baboon Is on
the move, to see that everything is
right He no sooner makes an appear
ance than he Is greeted with a shower
of lead. In an Instant the whole troop
ts in nu uproar They rush hither and
thither, howling, with rage and pain,
looking for a place of escape But few
of them succeed. Directly the hunters
have retired, the blacks, who have
been following op the party, make a
rush for l he tails of the baboons.
Sometimes they are in so great arburry
to secure these that they fall' to ob
serve that the baboon Is not dead and
an ugly bite or tear is the result The
tails are taken to the magistrate's of
fice, where a reward of 2s. Gd. each Is
paiil for them by government London

up tight; then he tossed It in the air.
With a cracking sound it spread open
and fluttered down to the floor in Its
