representatives.They claim that the building was placed about a rod south of the place selected for the evident purpose of avoiding as much rock excavation for the cellar as possible.There is also a little difference in opinion between the railway Company and the Municipality as to Whether the latter should extend their highway to the station building or only to the yard limit which would be virtually assisting the Company to grade their yard.Municipal officers say that the Municipality does no work except npon roads it owns and controls,and it is apparent that they would neither own nor control any part of the Company's yard.\u2018| capturing the E.T.league cup.ROCK ISLAND, (STANSTEAD) P.Q., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1896.Mr.E.H.LeBaron of Massawippi, was in town on Wednesday and gave

enjoyed by all who had the privilege of hearing it.It was instructive and inspiring, and well adapted to the young pecple.Mr.Forsyth is highly appreciated at the college, The Rev.G.Ellery Read is to give the address on Thursday evening of this week.The visit of Rev.Dr.Hart to Stan- stead has been a delight to every one who had the pleasure of meeting him.On the evening of his arrival at the college, the Lady Principal gave a quiet tea in his honor.In the course of the evening Dr.Hart kindly gave the company the opportunity to ask him any questions about the Chinese Empire they might desire, and the amount of information obtained in this way was great and the facts elicit- ited of highest interest.#'The address given in the lecture room of the Methodist church, on Friday called together a large company who listened to Dr.Hart, as he told his thrilling story, with intense interest, The effects upon the students was most powerful.Returning to their rooms at the close of the service the young mien immediately called an informal meeting and organized a scheme for rendering practical help to China.On the following morning their projéct was submitted to the teachers and lady-students who heartily consented to cooperate with them.The plan is to engage a native teacher for tleir missionary work who is to labor under tle direction of Mr.Hart, and whose support is to be furnished by the college circle.Already the amount necessary to meet the expense for one year has been provided.Missionary meetings are to be held once every month, and, from time to time, reports from the missionary employed are to be read and discussed.Saturday afternoon Dr.Hart left for Halifax followed by the prayers and good wishes of everybody.The young men and boys gathered on the steps of the college to see him off, and with three rousing cheers expressed their admiration for the man who for the love of his kind, had turned away from a future bright with promise in his native land, to endure the hardships and sufferings for those who in very deed lay down their lives for others.Mr.Hart has not a very high admiration for Li Hung Chang whose ability he readily admits.It is evidently a case of distance to lend enchantment.The last might almost be called \u2018missionary work\u2019 for in addition to all that has already been recorded another branch of the work was represented on Saturday afternoon.A large and influential gathering of the members of the Women\u2019s Missionary Society took place in-the college parlors.The principal feature of the occasion was an

residence of a relative in Glover, Vt., with heart failure.His remains were brought home Nov.12, and buried in the Burbank burying ground.The Eureka cheese factory closed Nov.7, after a satisfactory

Tompkins\u2019, for his daughter Eva.Henry says he would rather pay the Wilson\u2019s 875 more than any other dealer, knowing them to be perfectly reliable.Walter is one of the finest young men in the Province, and that is sufficient guarantee that any instrument he sells will be first class.There will be a chicken-pie social at the vestry of the Methodist Church this evening.Every one is invited.A good time is expected.7 The reception for Rev.Mr.Harte at H.W.Elder\u2019s last Monday evening was a pleasant effair.The house was filled to its utmort capacity.Oysters and other refreshments were served, after which music, both vocal and instrumental, was much enjoyed.Rev.Mr.Forsythe, of Stanstead, made remarks and presented Mr.Harte with a very fine book from his friends.Mr.Harte responded in a very feeling manner, after which the company dispersed, feeling that a very pleasant evening had been spent.Mrs.Amasa Ruiter of Smith\u2019s Mill's is spending a few days with friends here.Will Day

not excepting the subway.A very conservative estimate of the number of people in attendance, since the opening day, is 275,000.There were over 30,000 in attendance the last day and evening.The fair has heen conducted in aid of the Old Colony and Lowell Grocers Association.It has been the most successful fair for years and the management deserves great credit for its painstaking efforts from the first.What made it a little more interesting to the ladies was that the first 400 who arrived at the door were placed in single file along the street and when the doors were opened at 10 o'clock, as they passed in, each one was handed a handsome souvenir spoon with the stamp of the building on the inside.In all over 12,000 silver spoons were given away.Your humble correspondent can now be classed as one of the 400.A pleasant feature the last day, was the presentation to Chief Marshal, E.D.Woods, of a large crayon likeness of himself, finely set in a gilded frame.The gift was in recognition of the many acts of kindness rendered by Mr.Woods.he fair was in operation five weeks.JUDD'S MILLS.Mr.C.L.Clark, of St.Johnsbury, is spending a few days at his farm.Miss S.B.Noyes has returned home after

also five other good men of Beebe Plain.Ask him who went to J.Fales and others for proof after the suit was planted by him,.and they refused to do him any service hut referred him to take that big, stout Montreal grocery man.Allowing this to be true, which can be proved, who did it, Again, my two little teams were in his way as the public preferred them to his as far as they went.Now United States was absolutely neces- to come to the finale, the Provincial ' ly cculd not do, and have been in Brome County arranging cnd fixing up the home of my aged mother {or the winter, returning to my family occasionally.Not much hide and seak about it as I told the Collector when I goi all these arrangements ccmpleted I would go and hoard with him to satisfy the law.J.G.R.advises reading the Municipal.Code.Was ever honorabls Council directed by the Municipal Code to build our sidewalks by hiring men by the day instead of advertising and selling the building of them by tender?J.G.R.spsaks of low-priced eloquence.This sume simple minded fugitive from justice did an average business of 810,000 a year for 20 years and did not receive one cent from his father or other friends either.Neither by cash nor other credit.How will that compare with the former's chances and record?Yours truly, C.H.GORDON.RECIPROCITY.If Mr.Fielding's New York interview was intended as a feeler to test the sympathy of the Uuited States puplic on the matteer of reciprocity with Canada, he must be disappointed | at the result, The New York newspapers, which have thought the subject worthy of comment have used it only as a text to repeat the hundred and twenty year old invitation to British Americans to cast in their political as well as their commercial lot with the people of the Republic.This attitude by the United States press is not at all strange.Its opinions as to the position and sentiment of Canadians have been formed by the writ- tings of denationalized Canadians like Erustus Wiman and Francis Wayland Glen, the speeches at United States banquets of such amiable indiscreets and Messrs.Laurier and Longley, and the election campaign utterances of the whole lot of Liberal leaders and the Liberal press, For twenty years almost every Liberal election manifesto has had a declaration of some kind intended to show that free admission of Canadian products into the sary to Canada\u2019s business prosperiiy and political stability.The sentiment of the people of the United States is today as strongly in favor ofthe union of the British Provinces in the Repub- Jic as it was when, in the Declaration of Federation creating the United Government special provision was made for the admission of Canada into the association of States.The tone of Liberal political discussion for years has been calculated to create the impression in the United States that Canada must get free admission into the United States market or perish, and it would be in keeping with Washington statesmanship to act on such an impression, and, in the hope of] securing the greater political end in| view, refuse commercial concession TURKISH TALK.| Noiwitistarnding tho fact that the; Sultan has promissed to execute sweeping reforms in his dominicns, his promises nre still looked at askance by those who have had expe- | rience of his arttulness and lack of | good intention, and this in spite of the fact that orders have already been | given for the putting into effect of some of the r eforms promised.Cyn- | ical observers of the situation do not, place much faith in the claims that: Great Britain had a prominent party | in the concert of the powers, They maintain that Russia acting through! France is the country that deserves credit for forcing the Sultan to do something, besides making promises: that he never intends to fulfill, If this is really the case there is no doubt\u2019 there will be n radical change in the Turkish policy for Russia is really the only power of which the Sultan stands in fear, | The fzet remains that it was Mr.Honotaux the French Foreign Minis- | ter that the Sultan first promised the | granting of reforms more sweeping in in their nature than those promised to Great Britain months ago, but none of which was put into effect, and that already some of these last promised reforms are now being carried out.Well Satisfied with Ayer\u2019s Hair Vigor.\u201cNearly.forty years ago, after gome weeks of sickness, my hair .turned gray., 1 began using Ayer's Hair Vigor, and was so well satisfied with the results that I have never tried any other kind of dress.- rt itching ing.Itrequiresonly an occasional application of AYER'S Hair Vigor to keep my hair of good color, to remove \u2018dandruff, to heal 2 humors, and prevent the hair from falling out.I never hesitate to recommend Ayer\u2019s medicines tomy friends.\u201d\u2019\u2014Mrs, 11.M.HAIGIT, Avoca, Nebr.YERS Hair Vigor Prepared by Dr.3.0.2 yer & Co., Lowell, Mass, Take Ayer's Sarsaparilla for the Complexion, P.À.Bissonets Advertisement oo Grand Display of 1 DRY GOODS.Largest Assortment Ever Shown Here.STYLISH JACKETS Fall and Winter Jackets for $4.75 up.All the Novelties in Novelties PRESS GOODS, Cloakings and Cape Cloths.Lots of Clothing for Men and Boys at prices to suit the times.P.A.BISSONNET.» | How to Prevent Croup.| SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE | TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.Croup is a terror to young mothers,\u2019 and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the object of this item.The origin of croup is a common cold.Children who take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow.symptom is hoarseness;

Everybody in Misery Cove knew Aunt Mury 'Lisher, relict for 50 years and more of Elisha Dewbery and who lived with her daughter Hitty in the old hcuse on the Gloster road, The Cove was very full of old folks, but not all of them were thus made appellatively distinetive\u2014only the salt of the earth.There, for instance, were Aunt Nancy Ben, Aunt Betsey Isrul, Aunt Mury Sam, Aunt Abigail Richard, and so on, (very one a relict of some good man long since departed, for the '\u2018Covers\u2019 did not believe in a surplusuge of words in their daily speech, and so, instead of saying, \u2018Mary, the widow of Elishy,\u2019\u2019 they referred to her as plain Mary 'Lisher, affixing to her own præ- nomen that of her deceased hushand.Those good people who were still blessed with conjugal partners were addressed without the distinguishiitg pre:ix of aunt or uncle.It seemed to me, when I bees.ne old enough 10 reason, that ! had been born into à community composed en: .vely of relations, more or less remote, Lit vohen I had at last successfully wrestled with the problem I found that our family was not connected by marriage with any other in the village.I mention this in pussing merely that the reader may not be plunged into the genealogical slongh in whieh I wallowed until extricated, Aunt Mary 'Lisher, then, was not my aunt at all, but un adoptive relative, us it were.However, that made no difference in the eyes of childhood, which uccepts things as it finds them and asks no impertinent questions of the gods who bring gifts in their hands.Aunt Mary \u2019Lisher was a little, worn and wrinkled old woman, with a kindly face, from which peered two bright black eyes, and a form bent nearly double with the infirmities of years.She was somewhere between 70 and 80 years of age when I first kvew her, but if I had been asked at that time I should have suid she was at least 150.My first neqnaintauce with Aunt Mary \u2019Lisher was, you may say, a sympathetic one, dating from a certain day when I saw her in my father's shop.It Was the ordinary country store, in which, besides the common groceries, was carried a small stock of bottled medicines, essences and such like \u2018\u2018notions.\u201d It seems that Aunt Mary \u2019Lisher had one or two infirmities in addition to those which people of her age generally curry\u2014she was addicted to the use of opium und tobacco.And, as her blood relations had decided antipathies against the drug and the weed (in a vicarious way), they had forbidden all pieat, It seems to me that I bave never in all my wanderings abont the earth.The sun illumined every corner and lighted every nook.In the southwest corner was the \u2018\u2018bowfat,'\u2019\u2019 where the dishes, mainly of china and brought from \u2018\u2018over sea\u2019' by the sturdy Elisha on his various voyages, were arranged with scrupulous care.They were dusted every day and polished twice a week, and each piece had its history, which to repeat in this connection would absorb a deul of time and space.In the southeast corner of the room always sat the daughter, Hitty, whom I invariably ad.THE BUFFET, dressed as Miss Mehituble, she was so prim and severe even, aud upon whom her 55 years or 3 ent noue too lightly.I had also a guilty sense of sin at my heart's depths for conniving to furnish her mother with forbidden luxuries.Not that Hitty ever spoke of it, but she locked it, screwing her cold, gimlet eyes into me, us much as to say, \u201cI can see right through you, deceitful boy!\u201d She was ever enguged in binding shoes, at which work her mother assisted, for the house and old fashioned garden were all the dead Elisha hud left them when he went awuy on that last voyage, from which he never returned, and their utmost endeavor sufficed only to keep the wolf from the door.But their table, even if it were sparsely dotted with catables, when they took their frugal meals, always had a snow white cloth and *chuny'* cups and saucers, plates and silver, polished until they mirrored everything in the room.It was a delight to sit at that lit- tlo table, and I felt highly honored whenever I was invited to do so.\u201cTwan't always like this, Benny, chirped Aunt Mary 'Lisher, us I drew up my chair to the cheerful tea table one evening.\u2018\u2018\u2019Twau*t little table as this.Wheu poor 'Lisher was alive, we used to eat in the big room, t'other side the chimbly, Ye ain't never seen that big room, have ye?No, an p'raps ye never will, for it\u2019s only open for weddin's an funerals.There won't be no more weddin's, I'm afeard, in my family, for Hitty don't seem to be of the muvryin kind, an I feel, somehow, as though I'm goin to live forever.\u2019 \u201cLor, mother, what talk!\u201d said Hitty, with severe countenance.*\u2018I sh'd think ye'd be afraid to make light of serious things.The Lord gave, an the Lord taketh away.\u201d \u201cAn blessed be the name of the Lord,\u201d rejoined Aunt Mary \u2019Lisher reverently.*\u2018I ain\u2019t makin light of serious things, Hitty.Of course I'll go, in his good time, but it ain\u2019t nothin to worry over.Better laugh an make merry while wo live, Benny; that's my motto.When I was yer age, now\u2014but how old are ye, boy?\u2019 \u201cI\u2019m 13 next month,\u2019 \u201cThirteen.Well, that ain't so very old; just in yer teens, an the whole world before ye.Dear me! Thirteen; that's the number that set down to the big w\u2019hog\u2019ny table in the room tother side tho chimbly, the very last time your poor father was with us, Hitty.It's au unlucky number, they say, an Î kuow \u2018tis.\u201d \u201cYes, indecdy,'* she muttered, drawing out and filling her pipe, which Jay concenled behind the lamb.Then there vas silence for a few minutes, while she stuck her head up tho chimney and stores und shops in the township to supply the old lady with her tipple and her | smoke, Tho shifts she was driven to in obtaining them\u2014for ges them she did\u2014 Were sometimies pitifal to witness, aml from perhaps an innate sympathy with the \u201cunder dog\u201d in n tight I took sides with her as against her relatives and my worthy parent.So it happeued that whenever T was on duty in the shop, aul Aunt Mary *Lisher would como (ns sho always did twice a week) ostonsi- bly to purchase an ounce of tea, or half i bound of sugar, she went home much happier than if my father had been behind the counter.It may not seem, then, ut all unrea- tonable that she should hold a reciprocal \u2018the wevd, then smoke up the chimoty.\u201d refreshod herself with a few whiifs of That was the one thing that Hitty insisted on\u2014that her mother should not send the smoke out into the room.\u201cIt\u2019s bad enough to smoke,\u201d she complained, ** \"thout smelling up a whole house, If ye must do it, mother, And so the poor old soul thrust her head up the flue, whore the draft vias sometimes strong enough to set her few remaining hairs all aflutter, and extracted consolation from her beloved pipe During this interval of quiet she was collecting her thoughts, which took the trend of reminiscence suggested by the number 13, \u201cThat ain't the only time neicher,*\u2019 she insisted, shaking the ashes out of the pipe.\u201cWhat makes mo think so is that air Thanksgivin dinner that I was invited to up to Cousin Izry\u2019s.I ain't | i | | \u2014 TI, el !

Legislative building, which has witnessed your zealous efforts for the welfare of the Province throughout the parliamentary period soon about to expire.In the course of the session, which I came to-day to open,my Government will submit to you a bill respecting the establishment of a special fund for the more effectual diffusion of instruction in poor municipalities and amongst the working classes for improving the condition of teachers, and generally for the purpose of giving a further and an energetic impulse to primary education.You will also be called to legislate upon a reorganization of the public departments, which will amongst other things, allow of closer attention being paid to the management of the forests and other resources of the Province, and of greater revenue being derived from them.Agriculture and colonization which have made such extraordinary progress for some years, will advance © ; with still more rapid strides in conse- Provincial

review of trade says: No one now doubts that thebrighter day is dawning, and it is the common remark that never before has business shown so great a change for the better within a single week.To the change of conditions and of spirit described last week there has already answered a large increase in the working force and in the volume of trade.Dispatches telling of about 500 establishments which have opened or have materially enlarged their force though they filled many columus, gave only partly of the fact, for throughout the country the gain has been surprising, even to the most hopeful.It is not mare speculation or hope that starts the fires, and starts the wheels, for orders which have been accumulating for months, with the necessary replenishment of dealers\u2019 stock now greatly rednced, would employ the whole reducing force for a time and increase in number of hands at work means increase in purchases for consumption.Monetary anxiety and peril beingremoved, the business world has that confidence which is worth more in practical influence than several thousand millions of currency in circulation, At a council of Ministers at Ottawa on Friday last, Mr.J.B.Richard, of Wotton, was appointed Collector of Customs at Sherbrooke.The Manitoba school question isset- tled, or said to be, as has been said before, between the Dominion and resigned his office in the Manitoba will introduce Legislation which will facilitate such conversion, Nevertheless it is my duty to state that the constant increase of the population and consequently cf the unavoidable expense for the administration of justice, the care of the insane, the providing of means of commnica- tion and the developement of public instruction and agriculture render more and more imperative the re-ad- justment of the federal subsidies, payable under section 118 of British North America Act.In accordance with an order of my Executive Council, passed on the second of October last, I placed myself in communication with the Government of Canada on the subject.Copies of despatch which I sent to Honorable Secretary of State on this important matter will be distributed to you.I also placed myself in communica- with the Federal authorities in reference to the delimitation of the northern boundaries of the Province of Quebec, and I am happy to say that, by an order of His Excellency the the Governor - General - in - Council, dated the eighth of July last, the rightfulness of our claim was admitted, and the territory claimed by my Government or its equivalent was acknowledged as forming part of the Province of Quebec.It is the duty of the men of this generation to provide for the destinies of those to come.However remote may be the advantages to be derived from the decision I have just mentioned, the fuct may be considered as of more than ordinary importance.I now leave you to your important labors: I pray Almighty God to bless them and I trust that this last session of the eighth Parlinment of the Quebec Legislature will be inscribed on the brightest pages of the Parliamentary annals of the Province, as having been most fertile in proofs of your devotedness, your wisdom and your loyalty.A Canine Alliance, I had some 30 years ago a bright little black and tan terrier, who used to he my constant companion both in walks and rides.His friend was my pony (though often very jealous of him) and he had also an ally in a bigger deg, belonging to a friend of mine, whose name was Tiny, and a foe of another dog, who was an enemy of my little Jim, This dog flew at him on one occasion, and my dog, seeking refuge with his master, was trodden on by the pony and so much hurt that for three weeks he was invalided and unable to walk.On the very first walk after the accident, Tiny being his companion, my dog ran most boldly into the garden where his enemy lived and was at once set upon by him, Tiny calmly waiting outside the hedge.Directly my dog ran back, i pursued by his foe.The latter was | immediately seized and shaken by | Tiny, Jim calmly looking on.From that time the pérsecution of my dog \u2018entirely ceased.He was left unmo- |

corresponding glow in the heart of your Lord and master, you will serve your turkey boned and so get rid of much of the difficulty in carving.An easy way to bone a turkey is to slit the skin down the back with a sharp knife, and, raising one side at a time with the fingers separate the flesh from the bones untill the wings and legs are reached; unjoint these from the body, and, cutting through to the bone, turn back the flesh and remove the bones.The flesh may be reshaped by stuffing.Stuff with force meat made of veal and a little pork chopped fine, and season with salt, pepper, sage or savory, and the juice of a lemon.Sew.in shape, and press the wings and legs elose to the body, and tie all firmly, so that the upper surface may be smooth and plump.Lard the breast with narrow strips of firm, fat pork, and bake until thoroughly doiie, basting often with salt and water and a little butter.Serve with a giblet dressing, to which has been added a cup of strained tomatoes, To make a giblet dsessing for roast turkey, put the giblets and neck in a saucepan with cold water and add an onion, salt and pepper, and a slice of dry bread that has been made very brown in the oven.Boil until the giblets are done, then strain the stock.Chop the giblets fine and put them and the stock back into the saucepan, dredge with a little flour, add the brown gravy from the bottom of the pan in which the fowl was cooked, after skimming off the fat.Serve hot in a gravy boat.A good, old fashioned stuffing is made by mixing with a loaf of stale bread half a cup of butter, an egg, salt, pepper, sage, and thyme or celery to taste, all brought to the consistency of mush by the addition of hot water.An oyster dressing is considered an improvment upon the old recipe.It is made by adding to half a loaf of stale bread crumbled, half a cup of buttsr and salt and pepper to taste.Drain off the liquor from a pint of oysters, heat it and pour over the bread crumbs; add an egg and mix all the ingredients well together.A little sweet milk isa greatimprovement.Most delicious of all is a chestnut stuffing, the rich nuts giving a peculiarly delicate taste to the fowl.To make it boil the chestnuts, remove the shells and brown skins and mash them.Mix them with a few grated cream, add a little butter and season with pepper and salt.In filling the turkey do not crowd in the stuffing.Sew up the openings and tie or skewer the legs and wings in shape.Rub thickly with butter and salt and dredge with flour.Place in a dripping pan and put half a cup of water in the pan.Use a moderate oven and cover the 40 minutes.Baste frequently and turn the bird occasionly to expose all parts to the heat It should be tender and moist and a golden brown all over when done, Garnish the dish with small

What, ho! Miles Standish, \u201cclad in doubtlet and hose and boots of cordovan leather,\u201d striding again with martial air, and yet once.more doth the hurrying pen of thestripling, John Alden, \u201cwith the dew of his youth and the beauty thereof,\u201d indite epistles filled with the name and the fame of Priscilla, the #\u2018loveliest maid in Plymouth.\u2019 Two hundred and seventy-five years have passed since the faint line of the Atlantic coast shimmered before the straining eyes of the Puritan forefathers, but it is not hard\u2019 to picture their first Thanksgiving in the golden autumn of 1621.The cruel, hungry winter- (there was a row of graves, and their number was almost half of the entire company) was passed.Summer smiled on their cornfields, and autumn brought an abundant harvest.It is a joyous description that Edward Winslow, the historian of the Plymouth colony, writes of the pioneer Puritanical Thanksgiving that followed: \u201cOur harvest being gotten in, our Governor (William Bradford) sent four men on fowling, so that we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors.They four in one day killed as much foule as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week.At which time amongst other recreation, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king, Massasoyt, with some 90 men, whom for three days we.entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our Governor and upon the captain (Miles Standish) and others.\u201d Governor Bradford completes the picture by enumerating the blessings which induce the Thanksgiving ceremony: \u201cThey began now to gather in ye small harvest they had and to fitte up their homes and dwellings against winter, being all well recovered in health and strength, and had all other mill in the Township we willdo your.3 _ ae grinding for a year for nothing, Day and night [things in good plenty, for as some I : : service.Yours i were thus employed in affairs abroad J.H.MERRILL.| others were exercised in fishing about i codd and bass and other fish of which Reward: \u2018vey took good store, of which every A reward of ten dollars will he paid for evi-!

It seems to me that women do not try to make an effort to shieid in any manner the i wag not legally and lawfully his own.young lives of their sons, and that in This man never for one the eyes and hearts of an unthinking got his early training, world, there is little help to stay the: true principle of right boy and to keep him pure in heart and soul, until he reaches manhood.| There are thousands of brave and | noble men and women, working unremittingly for the redemption of the depraved and fallen woman.God prosper them and give them strength for their grand work! Are there any.trying to rescue the immoral man?That would be a heronlean task?Not | at all.When our sons are taught, from the cradle that purity is as sweet in them as itis in their sisters, then, we may expect a safeguard for our | daughters.As a rule boys enter into | the vices of ment with a chuckle from their fathers and a wink, and perhaps a little sigh, from their mothers.Why does the moral ruin of a daughter! cause so much sorrow and so many, heart breaks, when that of asonis scarcely noted?Surely, there is some time in a boy\u2019s life when he is pure and knows nothing of the vices of his sex.You may ask why I am pleading for the boy instead of the girl.Why?In the first place I love the stout-hearted brave boy as well as I do the sweet and confiding girl.Secondly, because the girl has received for generations what the boy needs, instructions in \u201c purity of character from the very cra- \u201cdle.Again, boys make our men, men rule our great nation, and\u2014I am loth to say\u2014ruin our girls.And let me go further, these same debased, self-de- spised and sex-shunned women ruin our young boys.A boy trained from his earliest recollection to purity in thought and action will make a man who will be as chaste as he would have his own wife, sister and mother to be, and no moral sin will lie at his white door, crying out against him as he crosses the threshold.What would Ido?Iam asked.I would choose my boy\u2019s associates as I would his books\u2014as, there is another point, yes choose his books; let them be the best the very best.Givs the young child the works of our best the others, go out upon the roads attending county fairs, ete.This father had many opportunities to cheat the honest and unsophisticated farmers, and he never missde a chance.He taught his son the art of cheating on a small scale, as well as the art of the camera, and upon his return to the \u2018bosom of his family, would rehearse the exploits of petty fraud before his gentle wife and the smaller boys.It is needless to say that she was shocked, but she was too gentle to overcome the dishonest influence of her husband.The sons, when grown to manhood, never did anything \u2018so very terrible, yet they never hesitated to touch, taste, and handle all that came within their reach, whether it were their own or their neighbors.The honest mother element is not strong enough to overbalance that of the conscienceless fu- ther\u2019s principle.They were men with whom I would trust neither my purse nor my daughter.On the other hand 1 know a boy who i was taught to handle not that which moment for- and has the and honor in him.The old adage, \u201cAs the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined,\u201d is true for boys and girls us well as twigs.Washington,

constantly in use there are many days, not only in summer, but in winter as well, when it is a serions problem to keep the inmates comfortable.There may be a ventilating shaft iu each stall and à small window, but even with these exits for over- VENTILATING À BOX STALL.heated air there will be duys when the inmates of box stalls will suffer for a freer circulation of air, particularly in winter, when it is not always practiou- ble to open stable windows, Under such conditions a contributor to the New York Tribune tells that the best plan is to open the box stull out into the interior of the stable by using sach an arrangement as shown in the illustration hero reproduced.The door to the stall is cut into two parts, while attached to the Jower half, but extending to the top of the doorway, is a grating of wire supported by the framework that is screwed to the lower half of the door.The upper half shuts into place and bolts to the lower half, when the whole swings as one door.During the day tho upper part of the doar can be kept open und shut ut night for warmth.This not ouly affords good ventilation during the day, but permits the occupants of such stalls to be seen ut any time without opening the stall doors.The same arrangement is useful for poultry houses, sheep pens, m noi \u201cFERTILIZER FARMING.Chemicals and Clover Insure Prosperity.An Improved Rotatlon.A New Jersey furmer who believes in chemicals and clover believes that the usual five years\u2019 rotation\u2014oorn, potatoes and whent one each und hay two, and most \u2018of the fertilizer is applied to the potatoes\u2014may be improved upon.This is the way he writes about it to Conutry Gentleman : As wheat is considered à no money rrop, would there not be more money if the rotation should be changed to four years, and instend of following potatoet with wheat they should be followed by grass, sowing timothy and clover in the full without grain, after the potatoes are dng?\u2019 Then bay can be cnt for two years, and then the sod be planted with corn again, If the rotation must be five years, why not have two years of corn, which is more of a money crop than wheat, letting one corn crop follow the other, aud to kecp up fertility of the soil, and even make it better, sow crimson clover in the corn at the last working and have it to turn under the following spring?Should auy one say that will give too much nitrogen, tho answer would be that it would render it unuecessury to purchase any for the potato crop which is to follow, as a good erop can be secured by the use of only potash and phosphoric acid.Some Will say that it is impracticable to sow grass after potatoes and secure a good crop the next season, but my neighbors and myself for a number of years have practiced this with good results, and the practice is extending.I cunnot find it profituble for myself i in this section to grow smal) grain, and no moru corn than chongh for iny teams.I keep no stock on my place but my teams, one cow and breeding hogs to pasture my orchards.I depend for crops ou fruit, cabbage, potatoes and aspara- gos and well understand that all are not situated the same.But I cannot understand why the majority of farmers cannot reduce their expenses for manures very materially by simply using moro clover and avoid purchasing nitro- gon, f have given up buying horse or stable manure and depend wholly upon chemicals and clover for plant food.I depend on potash and bone in addition to the clover, of which I sow 80 to 40 acres each year solely to plow under and to rupplement it, In using the two chemicals, potash and bone, I do not consider jt necessary to mix them, but make two applications, which is as eusi- ly done as to make two applications of pounds each time.For most crops I prefer to huve ull fertilizers put on broad cast.Protecting Tender Plants.T.H.Hoskins, writing from Vermont, tells Rural New Yorker that he doesn\u2019t consider the barrel method so safo

Fenton's unteeling answer, and poor Lucretia, unable to stand the raillery at the moment, turned and fled to the dressing room, leaving Wayne to confront his tormentors as best be might, But while music and laughter reigned | within the wooden walls of the assem! bly room and many yontz hearts were: able to cast aside for the time being the | oppression that had scttled upon the gurrison earlier in the cvening, and while in some of the barracks there were sounds of merrymalkiug and Christmas cheer, there was raging in many a breast a storm as wild as that that \u2018whirled the snowdrifts in blinding clouds all around and about the guardhouse, where a score of seasoned troopers, silent, grim and by vo means in love with their task, were keeping: wateh and ward over their little batch of prisoners, cspeeiully of othe cowering wretch who had been srewed away in the upper room, an utterly friendless may Uver acrces the wind swept parade, among the 1o0ws of wooden barracks, was one building where no laughtez rang and about which, wary and vigilant, three or four noncommissioned.officers hovered ircessantly.Here were : quartered Crow Kuife's few remaining comrades of the Indian treop.Here were gathered already a dozen of his kindred from Big Road's trar-planted village, | | to the distraction of the patients and refused by the colonel the creature com- | forts they had promptly and thriftily i demanded, except on condition that they | consume them in quiet and decorum at the Indian barracks and deny them.gelves the luxury of their woe, Tomtom and howl were stilled, therefore, while | the funeral haked meats went from hand to mouth and disappeared with marvel.| ous rapidity, and indeed but for its exciting effect upon tho warriors the colonel might as well have accorded them the right to lament after their own, fashion, sinco tho howling of the tem- | pests would have drowned all human | wail from within the woeden walls, | But while they had promised tu hold no aboriginal ceremony over Crow Knifes, death end mesnt to keep their word\u2019 they had refused to pledge themselves to attempt no vengeance on his slayer, ! Well they knew that throughout tho | garrison nine ont of ten of the troopers would havo cared not a sou had some\u2019 one taken Grnice from the guurdhouse | and strang him up to the old flagstaft | without benefit of clergy, but this would | not have ratisfiod Indian ideas, hung- | ing wecording to their creed being far, too good fer him.| Two cf the best and most trustworthy | Indiana were placed by Leale, with the surgicu\u2019a consent, AS Watch rs by the, bier cf the eoldicr scout, but the others, | to a mean, were herded within the bar.\u2019 racks end forbidden to attempt to set foot nutside.Close at hand in the ad- | t speak.You know I never meant to harm ; across his path, talked of lynelung or other summary vengeance had soon been hushed to élence.What was feared among the officers was that Graice had been told \u2018by some of the guard that the Indians were determined to have his scalp, and that the soldiery so despised him that he could not rely upon them to defend him.Sergeant Grafton was confident that Graice hoped in some way, by connivance perhaps of members of the guard, to slip out of the building and take refuge among the outlaws at the groggery across the stream.Having killed an Indian be had at least somo little claim, according to their theory, to a frontiersman's respect.Returning to the guardhouse, as he had promised Will, Malcolm Leale was in nowise surprised at Grufton\u2019s anxiety and even less to learn that Graice had begged to be allowed to have speech with his captain, It was a ghastly face that peered out from the dim interior of the little prison in answer to the officer's summons, At sound of footsteps on the creaking stairway Graice had apparently hidden in the depths of the room and only slowly came forward at the sound of the commanding voice he knew.Hangdog and drink sodden as wus his look, there was some lingering, some revival perhaps of the old deflant, disdainful manner he had shown to almost every man at Frayne.Respect his captain us even such as he was forced to do, look up to him now as possibly his only hope and salvation, there was yet to his clouded intellect some warrant for a vague sentiment of superiority.Outcast, ingrate, drunkard, murderer though he was, he, Private Tom Graice, born Royle Farrar, was legal owner of all that his captain held fairest, dearest, most precious in all the world.Leale\u2019s love for Helen Daunton was something the whole garrison had seen and seen with hearty sympathy.It would be something to teach this proud and honored officer that he, the despised and criminal tough, was, after all, a man to be envied as the husband cf tho woman bis captain could now only vainly and hopelessly love.It was his plan to bargain with him, to invoke his aid, to tempt the honor of a soldier and a gentlemnn, but for a moment, at sight of that stern, sad face, he stood abashed.\u201cYou wished to sce me,\u2019 said Leale, *fand I will heur you pow.\u201d *\u2018I've got that to say I want no other man to know,'\u2019 was the reply after an interval of a few seconds, \u2018\u2018and I want your word of gonor that you will hold it sacred.\u2019 \u201cI decline any promise whatever, What do you wish to say?\u201d \u201cWell, what I have to tell you interests you more than any maz on curth, Captain Leule, I'm in hell here; I'm at your mercy perhaps.My life is threatened by these hounds, because by accident that knife went into that blind fool's vitals.It was only self defense, I didn\u2019t mean to hurt him.\" \u201cNo.I was the objeet, I clearly understand,\u2019 said Leale, \u201cGo on,\u201d \u201cWell, it\u2019s us man to man 1 want to him.You can give me a chance for justice, for life, and I\u2014I can fake it worth your while,\u201d \u201cThat will do,\u201d spouse.\u2018No more on that head, else have you to ask or suy?\" \u201cListen one minute,\u201d pleaded the prisoner.\u201cThey'd kill me hero if they was the stern re- What - could get me, quick enougl\u2014Indiansor troopers either.I must be helped away, I know your sceret, You love my wife.Help me out of this\u2014here\u2014this night and neither she ner you will ever\u2019 \u2014 \u201csilence, you hound!

of deceney loft, tell no man living that you are Royle Farrar,\u201d\u2019 and with that, raging at heart, yet cold and stern, the officer, heedless of further frantic pleas, turned und left the spot.But at the porch the captain turned again, Wind and snow were driving The sentries at the front and flank of the guardbouse, muffled to their very eyes, staggered against the foree of the gale.It seemed eruelt to keep honest men on post a night go wild as that for no other reason than te protect the life of a man so criminal The members of the guard, who had resumed their lounge around the

the sergeant\u2019s prompt reply.\u201cBut every man in the garrison knows by this time that it was the captain that blackguard aimed to kill, and it is not the Indians alone that would do him if they could.1 find that whenever I have had to leave the guard.! house some cf the men have talked loud for him to hear, swearing that he would be taken out and hanged at daybreak.Others want to temp: him to try to escape, so that they can pursue him over to town and hammer him into r jelly there.The tower is the only place where he can be unmolested, sir.I couldn't guarantee hjg safety from some kind

The sergeant nodded assent.\u2018\u2018I'll in- door to let him out, Graice Ü could be | traibs Of the lancers aud the howl or tne ! beard an the upper floor, savagely kicking again at his bars, \u201cThat man bas more gall than any may I ever met, sir,\u201d said Grafton.\u2018\u2018He\u2019s kicking because we refused to send to the barracks for his share of the Christmas cigars.\u2019 \u201cDid you search him befare he was sent up there?\u2019 asked Leale.\u201cHas he matches or tobacco?\u2019 \u201cNothing I could find, sir, but other and sharper men have been confined there, and I'm told that somewhere under the floor or inside the walls they've hidden things, and he's hand in glove with all the toughs of the garrison,\u2019 \u201cVery well.I'll uotify Captain Far- well,\u2019 suid Leale briefly, \u201cand he will attend to it,\u201d and ho left the building on this quest just as the second relief came tramping out into the storm, leaving the guardhouse, its few minor pris- Oners on the lower floor and-thät one execrated criminal, his old colonel\u2019s firstborn and once beloved son, cursing at his captors in the tower, all to the caro of the members of a singlo relief, and the sentry cn No.1 set up his watch cry against the howl of the wind, and no one a dozen yards away could have heard, nor did it pass around the chain of seutries, nor was there other attempt to call off the hour that memorable night.\u2018For long days after men recalled the fact that the last hour called from under the old guardhouse porch was half past 10 o'clock, Meuntime, having had two dances with his now pleading and repengng sweetheart and having been eajoled into at least partinl forgiveness, Will Farrar had sought his colonel to say that he really ought now to return to his guard, At leust for a little time, but Fenton, conscious of the shadow that had overspread the garrison earlier in the evening, seemud bent on being joviality itsolf.He bade the boy return to his immediate ceommanding officer and obtain her consent botore again coming to him, and Kitty flatly refused.She was dane- ing with Martin at Len oment, and that left Will to his own devices, and, ) - .after a fond word or two from his mother, he had stepped back of the seat occupied by her little circle of chosen friends and vus standing watching tho animated scene heigre him.Close at händ, not à Co: +! tnvwuy, stood Hels en Daunton, » ! 7 strevned from observation cf «rs.It was at this moment the: 1 itain came striding in, glanecd 4.3 nronnd until he caught Will's «vo, und tho young officer promptly joined him.\u201cIs Farwdll here?\" he asked, \u201cHe came in a moment ago, Yonder be is now, sir,\u201d nuswered Will, indicating by a nod the figure of the officor of the day in conversation with some one of tho guests at the other end of the room.\u201cThen ask him if he wil?join me in five minutes at the guardhoure, I need to see him,\u2019\u2019 said Leale, and the youngster sped promptly on his mission.The music had just sounded the signal for the forming of the sects for the lancers, and with soldierly promptitude tho officers, with their partners, began taking their positions.Floor managers have little labor at a garrison hop.Ellis Farrar, who had reappeared upon the arm of Captain Vinton, mutely bowed her head and accepted Ormsby\u2019s hand as he led her opposite Will and hisnow radiant Kitty, and Malcolm Leale, halt- t eof us Lipted hig lcond in gesture of farewell and turned abiruptly ae yy.ing ut the screened threshold before taking Lis departure, turned for one long look at Helen Daunton\u2019s face, Some intense fascination had drawn her once more to the east window, and there, as the dancers formed, alone, almost unnoticed, she glowly turned and her eyes met his.One last, long, intense gaze and, in one impulsive movement, as : though he read in her glorious eyes the kindling light ¢f a love that matched his own, he would have sprung to her side, but, with sudden recollection of the barrier between them, he gathered himself, lifted his hand in gesture of farewell and turned abruptly away.The music crashed into the opening bars of the lancers and the dance began, For a woment longer Helen stood there, Aguiu that powerful fascination seemed to Jure her to draw aside the curtain and gaze forth across the white expanse of the prrade to where tho guarded prison stood, within whose walls was coged thevsavage creaturo whose life was linked so closely with those of many there besides her own, Then the thought of that other, the man whose Jcve, all unwittingly, she had won und the fear that, glancing Lack, be might sce her shadow as when be cume, caused her to draw hastily away.In ull that gay and animated geene, as once more she faced the merry throng, Helen Daunton stood alone, The dance went blithely on.Chat and laughter and the gliding, rhythmic steps of many feet mingled with the spirited music of Fort Frayne\u2019s capital orchestra.Even Mrs, Farrar's sweet face, so long ehadewed by sorrow, beamed with the reflected light of the gladness that shone on many another.joining quurtces the men of two troops spect it in the guardroom.\u2018\u2019 gaid he, Longing to be alone with her misery, were held in readiness, under orders not; and as Leale turned shortly away, in- |

had the day and the sergeant opened the | its threshold, when, over or through the ; 3 wind without, there came some strange sound that gave her pause, Somewiere out upon the parade she heard the distant, mufiled crack of the ouvulry onrbine, Another, another further away, and then, mingling with them, a hoarse, low murmur as of many voices and of commands indistinguishable through the gale.Louder grew the clamor, nearer came the sounds; then the added rush of many feet iu the adjoining barracks of K troop, the quick, stirring peal of trumpet, sounding some unfamiliar call.Overstrained and excited as were her nerves, fearing for him against whom the wrath of the garrison was roused, she could only von- nect the sounds of alarm and confusion with him and his hapless fate.She started forward to call the colonel\u2019s attention, for among the dancers the sound was still unheard Aguin the shots and shouts, the rush of hurrying feot on the broad veranda without, Again and neurer, quick and imperative, the thrilling trampet call.Then, close at hand the loud bang of the sentry\u2019s carbine and the stentorian shout of \u2018Fire!\u2019 And then, just as the music abruptly ceased in response to tho colomel\u2019s signal, bursting in at the door, followed Ly n couple of troopers, came Rorke, rushing for a ladder thas had been in use during the day.\u201cIt's that madman, Graiee, sore!\u201d he cried in unewer to the look in bis commander's fuce, \u2018\u2018He\u2019s fired the tower, and he\u2019s burnin to death,\u201d Springing to the window, Helen Daunton dashed aside the curtain, and, all ene glare of flame, the guardhouse burst upcn the view.A black ladder, silhouetted against the blaze, was being raised at the instant the curtain foll fram her nerveless hand, Will seized his cap, nade one leap to the door, despite Kitty's frantic effort to seize him; then, Missing hig saber, whirled about and rushed from point to point in scarch of it.Divining his object, the gir) throw herself in front of the settee, behing which she had concealed 3t, and, when he sought to reach around her, desperately, determinedly fought him off.Seizing un eap, the colonel vanished into the night, Throwing over his shoulders the first mantle he could lay his handa on, which happened to be Lucretin's, Wayne followed his leader, Will, delayed and maddoned, only succeeded in capturing his saber by forcibly lifting Kitty out of the way; then he sprang to tho doorway to jon the men hurrying from distant points to the scene, Orms- by, too, had rushed after the colonel, and only women were left upon the floor.These, horror stricken, yet fascinated, had gathered about the eastward window, where Helen Daunton crouched, unable to look again upon the frightful spectacle.16 was Ellis who.hurled aside the curtain, just as old Rorke, re-entering, sprang to the middle of the hall.\u2018Come away, ma'am! For the love of God, miss, stand clear of that window! The poor divil's climbed yo the top, and the cannon powdher's in the tower.\" With a moan of despair, Helen burst through tho group und toward the open doorway, ag though she herself would hie to tho wescue.Rorke, with one leap, regained the threshold and thrust her back.\u2019 [INN WQra with which the GoOCtay turned so his commander after ouo brief look into *Bling!\" CHAPTER XIIL Juck Ormsby did not go east by the | first tenin after tho Qhristmas ball as had boen his.purpose, but he.saw mo more of the lady of hia love.Laje that dreadful night, rousing for a few mo- had been thrown by the announcement that it was her own brother who lay there downstricken in the midst of his career of crime and shame, Ellis Fur- rar, little by little, realized the whole miserable truth, that he, ber brother, was the man who had wrecked Holen Daunton's life\u2014Helen, who, to spare that invalid mother an added sorrow, had hidden from her the namo of the man whose brutal blows and curses had rowarded her lova More than all did Ellis realizo that sho lover, whose loyalty and devotion she herself had repaid with scorn and contempt, had suffered her words in silence rather than betray another woman's confidence and thereby divulge a all who bore the name of Farrar, Then it was that, hysterically weeping, she broke down utterly, and before tho setting of another san the mother and al the household learned from her lips that it was ull that was left of Royle Farrar that now lay there, cold and stiff and still in that bare, echoing ward of the old hospital, awaiting the last volleys el the sulemn trumpet salulution to wae soldier dead, Only n corporal\u2019s guard formed the tiring party whon, just before sundown, the 1emains of Private Graice were laid in the bleak, snow covered cemetery out on the rolling prairie, but more than n dozen men in the crowded garrison knew by that time that the folds of the flag were draped over the mortal remains of a colonel's son.It was an avwestricken group that gathered about the hospital when the benrers came ferth with their burden and placed it in tho waiting ambulance and the firing squad presented arma.The idea of the reereant, tho would bo murderer, Tom Graice, being buried with military honors had not occurred to the gurrisen us n possibility.Yot here was the little escort; here wore the trumpeters\u2014the hand had bean merei- fully excused; here were pallbearers from his troop instead of from among thé \u2018garrison prisoners, ng might have been ruled whea one of their number died; hore were old Terry Rorke and | some of the senior sergeants of tho regiment; here indeed, with pallid face, was young Lieutenant Farrar, with him Mr.Ormsby, the adjutant, quartermaster, the surgeon and one or two veteran eap- tuins, Mujor Wayne and even Colonel Fenton himself! Whoever heard of such an array as that attending the obeseguics fled and talked of it for hours, but the story told itself before tattoo, :.d the mystery was done, decided that, as (Graico had never yet been tried and convieted and could never appear before an earthly tribunal, \u201cMy God, can no one save him?\" sho cried.\u201cHave him, ma'am!
