Janet's Mistake.
Janet Elwood stood in alow, vine
wreathed doorwaj" of her home, a
comfortable Maine farm-house, at
the close of a sultry July day. Her
glance was directed-tovrard a manly,
sunburned ""Young follow, tall and
broad-shouldered, who was making
his way toward her through the
wide, sweet clover meadow.
Nearer lie came, until a smile broke
the naturally grave expression of his
handsome mouth, and he stretched
out his arms and drew her to his
breast.
Janet, instead of "nestling close
against tho manly heart which she
knew bent always warmly and truly
with love for her, drew petulantly
away.
A dee;! red flush mounted suddenly
to the young - man's forehead. He
looked at her averted face, her in
different attitude, with amazement.
Was this the girl who had put her
hands in hi3 over six months ago and
pledged herself to be his ''own little
wile?"
'Janet.' he said, 'what is it?'
'What do you mean, John?' Janet
kept her eyes fastened 'on the too of
her little shoe, that, notwithstanding
her appearance of coolness, beat a
lively tattoo against the painted
boards. Glancing up she saw an ex
pression ou that face bending sternly
over her that forced her to add, "I
am tired. I havo been helping moth
er in getting ready for the boarder
who has engaged Ihe front chamber
for the Summer.'
'1 did not know yoa expected to
take boarders, Janet.'
'He is tbe only one. He came last
week, while mother was at the sewing
circle, and I showed him the room,
and he engaged it for two months,
and and- that's how it is.'
Janet's clieeks giew pink as she
thought of the dashing stranger's
look of admiration, as, in her pink
print dress, she had 'stood at the gate
when he went to the city for his
baggage. Her ' toil
sue seemed un-
loosened now, end uhe gave an ani
mated description of her new boarder,
informed John that he was an artist
from Boston, wealthy and of good
family; his name was Ray cliff e
Eugene RayclifTe. She pronounced
it lingeringly twice over. 7
John was far from being elated at
the prospect. Ha could not see the
delights of the Boston artist's high
toned society as plainly aa Janet.
He 6aid so in so many words, a little
.more energetically than the occasion
warranted, perhaps, but Janet was
very pretty aud the, honest young
farmer was ver much in love.
'Anybody would think he was an
ogre,' pouted the young woman,
seeing with her quick bright eyes the
state of mind her lover was in.
'There he comes now,' she cried.
Mr. Eugene Raj'clilfe smiled under
his drooping jet mustache as be
noticed Janet's lover.
'Some country bumpkin boring her
half to death, I've no doubt; but I'll
soon settle him.
These remarks, made mentally,
were accompanied by such an air of
self satisfied complacency, as- he
threw his satchel on the steps and
sat down beside it at Janet'6 feet, that
John Wentworth scarcely bowed in
answer to the languid 'glad to know
you' which follow sd Janet's introduc
tion. John seemed suddenly overgrown
and awkward. Mr. Eugene Ray
clifie's hands were so exquisitely
white and delicate that his own
seamed by contrast redder and of
more gigantic proportions than ever.
His attire seamed rough and ill
fitting compared with the natty
'store clothes" of the artist from
Boston, and altogether John felt
awkward and uncomfortable stand
ing with his broad back against the
lattice of the porch, and observing
with scant approval the upward
glances from Mr. Raychffe's black
eyes to Janet's browji eyes.
'Your friend sdec slightly dis
pleased at something,' said he, a
John, with a brief farewell and never
a second glance" at Janet, walked
away with a firm step and head wel
Up
john had no fancy for standing
about unnoticed, especially, while
the. girl to whom he was engaged
coolly allowed a comparative stranger
to monopolize her smiles and society.
Don't go off angry, John. 6aid
;- J . t - : c w' - - 5 ,;-'.-f " ,
Janet trying the witchery of her
eyes on her farmer lover. 'He is so
deeply in love with me that I can
wind him around my finger,' she
thought.
And it would be very fine to have
two swains sighing at her feet, espe
cially two like John Wentworth; by
far tho best catch in tho country
round, and the stylish, dashing Ray
clifTe, the new arrival, is sure to
create a furore among the maids and
matrons of Sunnydalc.
John would not soften spite of tb
moonlight cJarvgl' upraised eyes,
seining under the fair curly lashes.
'I will come back when you cau
treat a fellow decently, Janet. I am
not going to be fooled to the top of
my bent to please- you any longer.
Good evening. - - '
This was tho last Janet saw of
John. But she had little time to
think of him, while Mr. Raycliife
devoted himself so entirely to her
amusement. He painted her portrait,
and while she sat for him, beguiled
the time reciting, in tender tones,
yards of tender, sentimental poetry;
they went on sketching tours; they
eat on the piazza in the twilight, and
sang together; Janet had a sweet alto
voice, which the boarder was not
long in finding admirably suited his
oVn.
Things went on until Janet's moth
er, with ruany a nod and beck and
wreathed smile, intimated that there
was an 'understanding1 between the
two young pejrle. John Wentworth
was well enough in his way, honest,
sober and industrious, and shrewed
as need be, but she looked higher for
Jauet, Janet had been to boarding
schools, she had the education of a
lady, and Mr. RayclifTe praised her
drawing more than a little. And, by
the way lie hung around (his time to
go back to the ci'-y was up, but he
had engaged tho room for another
month), she was sure something
would come of it. She could sniff
weddings in the air, and went so far
as to ask Mrs. Brown's opinion as to
the most fashionable way of making
dresses, a very nice one, suitable ,
and then Janet's mother hesitated,
smiled and looked very wise suitable
lor a wedding dress. Of course Mrs. '
Brown knew at onco that the dress ;
was for Janet; and through Mrs.
Brown, v.-ho was sometimes called
'the Sunny dale daily tatler,' the
rest of them were informed without
the loss of precious time.
The report came to the ears of
John Wentworth. Like a sensible
fellow ho concealed -whatever feeling
of disappointment and chagriu the
announcement aroused from the pry
ing busy bodies. He did not stay
away from church orfrom any of
the social village gatherings of young
people because he met Janet and her
devoted adorer there. Not he; he
danced and laughed the more, al
though the pain in his heart, which
he determinedly hid from view, was
in rea'it' Ing in dying out.
Janet had been his first love, and
however I ghtly she had loved him,
he, at least, had been sincere, and
could not forget her in a day, try as
he might.
Time, however, is a great healer,
and when one haz3' October day
Janet rode over in her little phaton
to ask John and his sisters to go
berrying, he looked Ler straight in
the eye and wished her a 'happy
future" without a tremor in his hearty
voice or a quiver of his eyelids.
'Eugene has gono to Boston,' said
Janet lijeking the flies oil her gray
pony, and leaning forward.' 'We
should have heard from his yester
day. I feel a- litt.'e worried. He
had a good deal of money with him.
We sent to the city by him for things
we could not get here, and several of
the neighbors Judge Jordan, Squire
Ellis and others paid him in advance
for portraits. I dreamed last night
of his being robbed and killed. Ugh !
it makes me shiver. I know: I'm
foolish, but I can't feel easy.'
Bills began to fall due, and Mr.
Eugene Rayclille was still like the
unknown quantity represented by x.
People began to talk. Janet's moth
er took to bed with an illness sudden,
and of s. nature unexplained and ob
scure. Janet grew pale waiting for a let
ter. Finally, one bright Sunday
morning Sunnydale, individually and
collectively, was agape ovor a start

'Arrest last night of Joseph Ray
mon. otherwise known as 'Dashing
Joe,' and having for his latest alias
Eugene Raycliffe. Several well-to-do
residents of Sunnydale victimized by
the accomplished and gentlemanly
scoundrel.'
The affair was a nine day's wonder.
But after a month or two had passed
away and the excitement had quieted,
people began to wonder if John
Wentworth would 'take up with his
pretty early love.'
Encouragement for him to do so
was not lacking (so the matrons of
Sunnydale will tell you) from Janet's
mother. Janet herself wrote a little
note on perfumed paper to John, and
this was the closing part of his reply:
'I don't want to reproach you for
your throwing me ovgr aa you did.
You have been punished quite enough.
But for a man like me it's no use try

When, a year after, on another

his approaching wedding to a young

and jealously in her heart , that the

Confederate Flags and Their Histo
ry. Tho TTarrior's Banner takes its f ight
To gl eet the Warrior's souL "
When one reflects upon tho recert
ness of the late great struggle, it in
deed seem3 strange that of all the
thousands of men who wore the grey
so few "have a distinct rememberence
of the flag under whose folds they
fought. To some extent this lack
of present accurate knowledge of the
Confederals flags, for there were
three, may be explained by reason
of the exteDsive use of State flags,
which gavoplace but slowly in many
localities to the ensign of the Confed.
erey. Every one has heard of the
famous "buttle flag," with its red
field and siow white stars, but how
few havo a knowledge of its exact
appearance. It ia the purpose in
this article io give such brief descrip
tion of the Confederate flags as will
clear away this misty forgetfullness
and renew this remembrance,
When tijo Confederate Provision
al Congress met at Montgomery, Al
abama, early in ISG1, the necessity
for the use of a flag for the new con
federation was made evident. Sever
al designs were submitted, from
which were chosen the following,
which was the first flag: A field of
three horrizontal .bars, or stripes,
the upper red, the centre white, the
lower red; in the lefi upper corner
a "blue union, with a star for each of
tbe seceded States. Within two
hours after the adoption of tho flag
it was flying ove the Capitol at Mont
gomery. It was never displaced by
Congress until the spring of 1SG3,
though owing to its resemblance to
the United States flag, many sugges
tion for a chance were made.
This resemblance of the two flags
was found at the Battle of Bull Run,
July ISth, 1S61, to be so great that
many persons in both armies believ
ed that each side had used as a
stratagem the colors of its opponent,
it was immediately determined to
adopt a battle flag for the Confeder
ate forces, and in September 1SS1,
(Jen. J03 Johnston and Beauregard
-'hc?e the well known "battle flag of
the army of the Potomac" (as it was
at first called), which became so dear
to Southern hearts. The field of this
dag was crimson, the bars were blue,
and running diagonally across from
one corner to the other, formed a
Greek cross. The stars en the bars
were white, equal in number to the
Slates of the Confederacy the blue
bars were separated from the red
field by a narrow white filet. The
size of this famous flag was, for in
fantry, 4x4 feet. It had the merits
of being small and light, and very
distinct at great distances. It was
not, however, though in use con
stantly, adopted by the government
until it became the union of the sec
ond and third flags, and the "stars
and bars" continued to be flown by
vessels and forts.
In May, 1S63, the Confederate
Congress, in session at Richmond,
adopted the second flag, which was
of the following design: The field
of white; in left upper corner a union
of red; across this diaginal stripes of
blue, with white 6tars, five pointed
thereon, equal in number to the Con
federate States. It will be seen that
tho banner thus chosen was a battle
flag U3ed as a union, on a white
ground.
An attempt was made by the State
to place a blut stripe in tho centre of
the white field, horrizontally, but
this failed, and the beautiful banner
described was prescribed as the Con
federate flag. The size of this ensign
was made 4x6 feet, but was atter
wards modified, and reduced to the
dimensions of the battle flag, 4x4
feet. It was the intention of Con
gress by the adoption of this flag to
establish as the national . ensign of
the Confederacy a pure white flag
having for iu union the Southern
Cross as the Battle 4flag of the ar
my. This, the second national flag of the
South, at a distance bore a close re
semblance to the English white en
sign, and also was objected to as to
resembling a flag of truce. These
objections proved so valid that the
Confederate Congress in February
1865, added a broad strip of red to
the end of the flag. Thi3 was the
third and last of the flags. -The of
ficial description cf this the last ban
ner of the Confederacy, is as follows
''The, width two thirds of its.; length;

THE 9ECBET OK TilEIT. UNUSUAL VJOOR
EXrLAUVEU AND HOW IT CAN BE AC
, QUIRLIX
There was something about the
sturdy vigor of former generations
that challenges the admiration of ev
ery man, woman and child. They
were no.epicures -tlioee ancient fath
ers. They jived simply, and success
fully met and overcame difficulties
that would have discouraged this age
and generation, The rigors of the
frontier were supplemented by tho
savages; wild beasts threatened their
enterprise and poverty was a common
companion. Yet they bravely en
countered and resisted all' those things
and laid the foundations of a land
whose blessings we now enjoj-.
Their constitutions wero strong;
their health unsurpassed and jet
they were forced to expose themselves
continually. Thero certainly must
have been some good and adequate
cause for all this and for the phj sical
superioity of that nge over the pres
ent. It is well known to every one con
versant with the history of that time
that certain homo compounds of
strengthening qualities were used al
most universally by those pioneers.
The malarial evils and exposures to
which they were subjected necessi
tated this. "When their bodiss be
came chilled by cold or debilitated by
the damp mists of a new country
they were forced to counteract it by
the use of antidotes. Medicines were
few in those days, nd doctors almost
unknown. Hence 'the preparations
above referred to. From among the
number, 'all of which were compound,
ed upon the same general principle,
ona was found to be more efficient
and hence far more popular than all
the rest. It was well known through
the middle 'and-western states and
was acknowledged as the best prepa
ration lor malarial disorders and
general dobility then known. The
recipe for compounding this valuable
article was handed down from one
family and generation to another,
was known to the Harrison family
and is used as the basis and general
formula for the present "Tippecanoe,"
the name being .suggested by the bat
tle in which General Harrison was
engaged. The manufacturers bare
thoroughly investigated this subject
in its minutest details, -and aro cer
tain that tor mai assimilation of food,
dyspepsia, tired feelings, general
debility, prostrations, malarial dis
orders and humors in the blood, noth
ing can exceed in value ''Tippecanoe,"
which was the medicine of our fore
fathers and seems destinued to bo
the most popular preparation of the
day.
"Tippecanoe" is prepared and
given to the public by Messrs. II. II.
Warner esc Co., of Rochester, N. Y.
proprietors of the famous Warner's
Safe Cure, which is now the most
extensivelj- used of any American
medicine. The well known standing
of this house is a sufficient guarantee
of the purity and power of this prep
aration, which seeks to banish one
of the greatest banes of the nineteenth
century mal assimilation of food.
Any One who experiences trouble of
digestion; who feels less vigor than
formerly ; whoso system has unques
tionably "run down" and who real
izes the necessity of some strengthen
ing tonic cannot afford to permit
such symptoms to continue. If the
farmer finds that his threshing mach
ine does not separate the grain from
the straw he realizes that something
is wrong and tries to repair the
machine. When the food does not
sustain the life; when it fails to make!
blood; when it causes the energy to
depart and ambition to die, it- is a
certain sign that something is wrong
and that the human machine needs
repairing. It is not a question of
choice; it is a matter of duty. You
must attend to your health or your
sickness and nothing will sooner
overcome these evils than "Tippe
canoe," the medicine of the past a
safe guard for the present and a
guarantee of health for the future.
The Correct Reports,
An ' amateur poet who i3 waiting
his ' sweetness on tbe desert air of
Minnesota, sends to a paper a poem
beginning:
"I met her at our trysting place,
At edge of field beside the bars,
And gazing in her pure, sweet face,
I kissed her "neath the cold, pale stars. w
The fellow must be and idiot, or elsa
he don't know good goods when he
sees them. If the seraph who moulds
the poetic course of this paper had

WIIY THE . MISSISSIITI INVESTIGATION
COMMITTEE HAD TO GET A fNEW MES
SENGER. '
A good deal of fun has been created
among the Senate officials, and even
the grave Senators havo been tickled
at the expense of one of the messen
gers. Ho hails Irom isow England
and was selected a3 messenger to
accompany the Hoar sub committee
on its Mississippi investigating tour.
The messenger had conceived the
idea that he might not be entirely
safe in goirv south on a mission of
investigation. In a confidential way
he went to soveral republicans from
Mississippi who. hold public positions
here and asked whether he would bo
in dangorat the hands of the kuklux.
This manifestation of foar gave one
or two of the persons 'to whom he' ap
plied a hint upon which they pro
ceeded to act. They painted tho
horrible torture that "kuklux inflict,
and, with tho appearance of great
friendship, advised the messenger
not to think of running such risk.
Other southern republicans wero let
into the fun, and numbers of them
sought tho messenger and advised
him of tho daugor ho would risk in
going south with an investigating
committee. Tho poor fellow was
overwhelmed with such advice from
sources he' regarded as not only well
informed, but as friendly to him.
Gen. Fitzgerald, of Vicksburg, ono
of the most prominent republicans of
Mississippi, being in tho city, got
wind, of the joko, and, as he loves
fun, he sought tho messenger and
pictured the horrors of his probable
fate in that state. When Senator
Frye sent for tho messenger to give
him instructions he soon discovered
that the man was terribly frightened,
and upon inquiry learned of the "job"
that had been put up. The man es
caped from the imaginary danger by
getting sick at the time he was need
ed and another was substituted.
Since the departure of the sub com
mittee the whole story is out.

The husband looked at the coins in

quarters and dimes with, holes in 'em.
Here's a quarter with a bole in it, and
the hole is bigger than the quarter.
What rascal passed this money on
