ON THE OPEN TRAIL.
This paltry earth and the law hung sky,
Like a little tent uround It.
Too cramped I find to feel at home,
Too cramped I always found It,
Since I was evor a vagabond,
A vagrant-foot and rover,
Oh, give me the width of the skies to roam
When my earthly days are over!
Let me out where worlds the milestones
are,
Where the unresting stars walk my way
Out, out, where a man has elbow room
To travol his old time hlghwayl
And when the Journey Is done God grant
That one lone Inn I And me
Where I may enter and greet but her
And close the door behind me!

How the Don's Mlitreaa Retained Her

When Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine wag

ipaulel, Lion, was banished. After tbe I
con pie had been married a year Mrs.
Boll porsuaded her husband to let Lion

him in the stable.
Three days of Lion's visit had passed
when as Dr. Bull was taking off his
Overoout in his office there came a rap at
liie inner door. It was so faint that at
first he did not notice it. Then when it
was repeated he said, "Come in." No

n pen ad the door, and there stood Lion,
lie had been knocking the door with a
little wooden box hu bold in his mouth,

MOIST WEATHER.
& Description of a Spell of Humidity
on the Wnlinnh.
"Talking abuut rainy weather," said
tho westerner, "I remember once out
iu Indianapolis meeting a farmer who
took tho must cheerful view of damp
ness of anybody I oversaw. I asked him
if they bad had much rain down ou the
Wabash that spring.
'"Well, it has been a little damp,' he
answered. 'The day before I loft home
I had to hang up 24 of my ducks. They
had got so water soaked that they
couldn't swim any longer. I planted
my ooru iu two feet of water, aud I
dou't oxpeotover iiO bushels to the acre.
My wheat is looking pretty well, but
the sturgeon and cattish have damaged
It considerably. There was about IS
minutes' sunshine one day, aud I
thought I would plant my potatoes, so
I loadod them on a scow aud anchored
the seow iu three feet of water, wbeu it
begau to raiu again.
" 'I wanted to ro down ou the bottom
lands next the Wabash to see if the
grusa was growing for my hay crop, but
my wife said that as we didn't baveauy
diving bell she'd rather I wouldn't I
should feel kind of discouraged with all
tho raiu, but I've epeut my odd hours
nf leisure time aud the even ones, too,
ou account of staying iu out of the wet
building us au ark. If it will only
raiu another week or two until I get
her ready to sail, I'm going to take my
familout to Missouri by water for a
trip to visit our folks that moved off
nut there because they didn't know

STROKES OF A RAZOR.
Bow Many Do Yon Suppose It Takes
to Shave a Mnnf
"Now that you've finished shaving
roe, how many strokes of the razor did
it require?" asked the man in the chair,
as he straightened Dp to have his hair
combed.
"That's pretty hard to tell, "said the
barber.
"Of conrse it is. Bat you've been in
the business how long?"
"Fifteen years."
"Yon ought to know by this time
about how many strokes of the razor it
requires to shave a man, supposing that
you go over his faoe a second time."
- "I might make a guess at it."
"All right. What's your guess? Re
member that I have a bard beard."
"Well, I should say about 125."
"You're a good guesser, I don't
think, Home tjme ago I got into the
habit of counting the strokes of a razor
every time I was being shaved. It'B a
good way to employ your mind. In
shaving me you just made 733 strokes
with tbe razor."
"I wouldn't have believed it."
"No man believes it until he takes
the trouble to count. In iny case I never
knew the number to fall below 600,
and it has gone more than 800 at times.
I call it a stroke every time tbe razor
is brought forward and then drawn
back. I should judge that there ate no
fewer than 500 strokes in a first class
shave. You remember that, and proba
bly you can win a few bets." New
York World.
Dank Impertinence.
The Philadelphia Record tells of an
old Pennsylvania farmer who recently
oame into possession of a check for
200. It caused him a great deal of anx
iety, and for a long time he could not
muster up the courage to have it cashed.
Finally, while ou a trip to town, he
summoned up nerve enough and, stroll
ing into the bank, presented tbe check.
The teller glanced at it hastily, and
then, after the fashion of his kind,
brusquely asked, "What denomina
tion r"
"Luthoran, roI durn itt But what's
tbet got tew do with it?" as brusquely
replied the old farmer, to the great as
tonishment of tbe bank official.
It required several minutes' explana
tion before the teller could get the old
man to understand his question, and
then the latter took bis money and de
parted, with sundry growls durogatory
to banks iu general.

Who is to Blame-
Kidney trouble has become so preva
lent that it is not uncommon for a child
to be born affected wilh weak kidneys.
If the child urinates too ofien, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the
child reaches an age when it should be
able to control I he passage, and it is yet
affected with bed-wetting, depend upon
it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney
trouble, aud the first step Bboultl be to
wards the treatment of these important
organs. This unpleasant trouble is due
to a diseased condition of the kidneys
and bladder and not to a hab'.t as most
people suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism : pain or
dull ache in the back; if the water
passes in irregular quantities ; or at ir
regular intervals ; or has a bad odor ; if
it stains the liner, or vessel the color of
rust ; if the feet swell ; if there are puffy
or dark circles under the eyes ; your
kidneys are the cause and need doctor
ing. Treatment of some diseases may
be delayed without danger, not so with
kidney disease.
