ABSOLUTELY PUBE
THE LAND OF "PRETTY SOON."
1 know of a land where the streets are paved
With the things which we meant to achieve.
It la walled with the money we meant to have
saved
And the pleasures for which we grieve.
The kind words unspoken, the promises broken
And many a coveted boon
Are stowed away there in that land some
where '
The land of "Pretty Boon."
There are uncut Jewels of possible Came
Lying abont in the dust.
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust.
And. oh, this place, while It seems so near,
1m farther away than the moon.
Though unr purpose Is fair, yet we never get
there
The land of "Pretty Boon."
The road that leads to that mystlo land
. Is strewn with pitiful wreaks.
And the ships that have sailed for Its shilling
strand
Bear skeletons on their decks
It ih farther at noon than it was at dawn.
And farther at night than at noon.
Oh. let oh beware of that land down there
The land of "Pretty Boon."

BRUIN JONES.
"Captain, who was the best soldier
you ever knew?"
This qnftstion was propounded recent
ly to Captain Bronangh, the present
coal oil inspector of St Louis and a man
who has seen enough of war to make
his judgment in regard to soldiers worth
something.
"Well, I hardly know," was the re
ply, "but I can tell you very easily who
was the best fighter I ever knew. " -
"What's the difference?"
"There's a great deal of difference.
To be a good soldier one must have
courage, patience and endurance, disci
pline and a great many other things. To
be a good fighter one only needs to have
plenty of the devil in him. I can't say
in regard to the best soldier, but the
best fighter I ever knew was undoubted
ly a man named Jones. I have no idea
what his first name really was, but our
men all called him Bruin, for reasons
that 1 think you can guess when you
hear the story. He was a member of my
company, but I have no recollection of
how or when he joined us. The first
day I remember ever to have seen him
was the 15th of August, 1862, just the
day. before the awful fight at Lone
Jack."
It seems that on that date all the com
panies in Lewis' regiment were reor
ganized, and that the voting for officers
was all done by ballot. When it came
to Bronangh 's company, every vote-read
was cast for him for captain, except the
last one To the surprise of every one,
the last vote was called out in stentorian
tones:
"The devil!"
At the announcement or this unex
pected vote the men stared around at
each other in amazement. -
"Say," remarked the wit of the com
pany at last, "that fellow ought to have
Ix trer manners than vote for himself. "
In the laugh that followed all the
company joined, except Jones. He stood
like that of Mephistopheles, until the
laugh had subsided, and then he re
marked: ' "He voted for a blamed sight better
man than Bronangh, anyway."
1 think that the reader will concede
that when the captain compliments Mr.
Jones' fighting qualities it is not be
cause of any special personal friendship
for him He was a man of about 80 years
of age, below medium height, slender,
clean shaven, dark complexion, and was
very much like a hawk in the keenness
of his eyes, the curvature of his nose,
the musicahiess of his voice and the
general amiability of his disposition.
The captain sums up the case by saying :
"He was soured on the world and all
the rest of mankind. "
He was never known- to agree with
anybody on any subject that could be
mentioned The nearest he ever came to
it was one day in camp, when the sol
diers happened to be discussing the char
acter of Abraham Lincoln, and one of
them forcibly expressed the opinion that
he was the greatest scoundrel that ever
lived. . ,
"Yea!" exclaimed Jones, with a pro
fusion of lurid language. "There's only
one more contemptible hound in the
universe than Lincoln. "
"Who's he?"
"Jeff Davis," he replied, with all the
withering contempt he could crowd into
the words From this speeoh it may be
imagined that while Mr. Jones hated
the Union he did not adore the Confed
eracy The boys in camp suggested that
he wore the gray merely because he had
more men to shoot at than if he wore
the blue There was no duty too hard
for him. no night too cold or rainy for
htm to stand guard, no fight too danger
ous for him, provided only he was al
lowed to have his fill of profanity and
abuse for the world in general. Once
when it was hinted that the artillery
was not strong enough to dislodge a cer
tain cattery oeionging to me enemy,
some one suggested : -
" Pat old Jones up in front and let
him cuss at 'em. If that don't clean 'em
out,. there's no use to try bombshells."
He would not only curse the Federals,
but the Confederates also, the officers as
well as the men. Several times he was
known to knock his messmate down with
the flat side of a spade,' and then if he ;
was so inconsiderate as to remonstrate !
to threaten him with the edge. Owing
to such traits in him as these, the men
gradually grew unwilling to eat with
him, so that for months he was a veri
table hermit, though surrounded by men.
No one spoke to him or had anything of
any kind to do with him when it could
in any way be avoided, and this seemed
to be exactly what he wanted. About
this time he was nicknamed "Bruin,"
not only on account of his bearlike tem
per, but also becauso the solitary figure,
annzftins fthnnf. hv hia nunnfim. nat.irur
his own food and holding converse with 1
no one was very much like that of a .
bear caged by itself to prevent it from j
injuring anything.
In this way things worked tolerably
smootWy far awhile, but before lonjr'
Captain Bronangh and hiB men decided
that if it could be done they would like
very much to get Bruin transferred to
some other company. There were just
two difficulties in the way of this. In
the first place, no captain who knew
him very well would consent to take
him, and, in the second place, if Bruin
knew that Bronangh and his men did
not want him he would insist most
strenuously on staying. Both these diffi
culties were circumvented by a little
strategy. In the company of Captain
Boles there was a man named Eph Goff,
a Henry county man, a brave soldier
and an ardent friend of Bronangh. He
is at present living on his farm near
Clinton and is said to be as rollicksome
and as fond of his joke now as he was
then. One day Bronangh approached
Boles, explained the situation and asked
that Goff be transferred to his company.
"All right," said Captain Boles.
"Who can you give me in his place?"
"Well, I've got a man named Jones
you can have. "
"Is he a good soldier?"
"The best fighter I ever saw. "
"Done," said Captain Boles, and thai
part of the matter was settled. The only
thing now remaining was to get Bruin's
consent to be transferred, and this was
done in the following manner:
"Mr. Jones," said Captain Bronangh
one day, "I understand you are trying
to get out of my company and into Cap
tain Boles'. I want yon to understand,
sir, that I don't propose to permit you to
do anything of the kind. If any officer
has got to be losing his men for every
little fool reason that may come up,
there'd just as well not be any officer at
all"
Bruin looked a little dazed at this
statement of the case, and then remark
ed that he'd be dash blank dashed if he
would stay in any such double dashed
company any more just see if he would I
In this manner his consent was won, and
the next day he applied to Captain Boles
for a transfer. The application should
have been sent to certain superior officers,
but Captain Bronangh was unwilling for
this to be done, for fear he might lose
his trade.
"NO use to bother Colonel Lewis about
a little thing like that," he said to
Boles. "Just let's wait till the thing
has about had time to go through the
rounds and then just swap the men our
selves. "
Accordingly, some two weeks later,
Bruin was informed that his transfer
had been granted, the two captains ex
changed the names and the trade was
settled.
The next time the two captains met
was several months later in Bosier par
ish, Louisiana, and shall I confess it
at a dance. If this statement should
meet the eyes of any of his church offi
cials, they are respectfully requested not
to turn him out on account of it. The
offense was committed over 80 years
ago, and I do not really think he makes
a practice of dancing today. However,
he and Boles were both on the floor and
dancing, when the latter exclaimed :
"Say," Bronangh, I've got a crow to
pick with you. "
"What is it?"
''"You remember that fellow Jones
you traded off on me? What did yon
mean by telling me he was a good sol
dier?" "I never said it, Boles. I said he was
the best fighter I ever saw. " '
"Oh, that was it, was it? I believe
you were right about it too. He's whip
ped every private in my company al
ready, and they say he is going to begin
on the officers next. There's no discount
on his being a fighter. "
The last time Captain Bronangh ever
saw Bruin was in the hospital at Mem
phis. The first face he noticed when he
entered the ward was his, and it was
pale and still as death. Hoping to be of
some service to one of bis former men,
the captain stood at the bedside for a
moment. Just then the closed eyes open
ed, the face lighted up with its old ex
pression, and in the half stifled accents
of death the old stream of profanity be
gan to flow. Bruin was Bruin to the
last.
Hundreds of old Confederate soldiers
In Missouri will recall poor Bruin with
a glimmer about the eyes that is half a
smile and half a tear. Nobody knows
what his first name really was ; nobody
ever knew where he came from. It used
to be asserted that he was from Arkan
sas, but perhaps this was merely from a
humorous desire to lower the reputation
of that state. No one knows who his
people were or what his past history
was. Let us hope, though, that he who
knows all about him saw something in
his early life that could account for the
hardness of heart of this Timon of
Athens of the Confederacy and made
some allowance accordingly. P. W.

Some definite idea of the growth - of
the bicycle business in this country my
be gained from the fact that whereas
the total number of bicycle manufacto-1
ries in the United States was but six in
1885, with an output of only 11,000
wheels, and in 1890 but 17, with an
output- of 40,000, at the present time
there are 126 factories, which will make
an aggregate of nearly or quite half a j
million machines this year. The in-;
crease in the last five years has been
-nothing short of marvelous, and it is
probable that the next five years will .
see a very great advance upon the pres-1
ent product of these fast - multiplying :
concerns, And now that bicycling is be- j
coming so much more general than hith
erto there is added reason why we
should improve our country roads. If
road reform was necessary five years
ago, it is far more necessary and desira
ble now. Providence Journal.

"You have told me an interesting
story," remarked the count, "and be
cause I appreciate it I will buy some of
the young lady's pictures myself. You
shall give me the name of the shop
where they are to be sold. She shall
also paint a picture to order for my
house."
"That's right good of you," said Tom
heartily. "She's a nice girl, but de
serves a bit torn of the wheel. But I beg
your pardon for getting off the track of
the house; you happened to touch me on
a spot right over my heart. What rent
would you like to pay?"
"I want to buy the house."
"To buy it! That'll cost you some
thing. You might get it at a reasonable
rent, as ths house is under a cloud just
now, as I was telling yen; but when it
comes to buying, it's another thing.
Property up there is rising, and I doubt
you would buy the house for less than it
cost to build it and that's not far off
half a million." '
"Who owns the house?" asked the
count. -
"It'll be his widow, I think Sally
Matchin that was."
"I wish to say no more than is neces
sary; but I must have the bouse for my
own in any case. It is probable I may
desire to make alterations in it. And if
property becomes more valuable then I
could sell it afterward perhaps."
"Yes; that's true. ' You'll pay half a
million, then, if it's not going for less?"
"You will have the power of attorney;
you can draw for whatever is needed,"
said the count, buttoning up his eoat.
"If you please, let it be done by tomor
row. The season is now near, and I
wish to be at home this winter."
"Very well. Here is the receipt for
the ten thousand dollars. I-ll say noth
ing about thanks, but I'll do my best to
keep my end up. The power of attorney
will be at your hotel for your signature
this afternoon. Til step over to Cartage
Browne's office and see about the house
before lunch, and here's the address of
the dealer where the pictures are for
sale. It's not far from your hotel."
"What is your own private address,
Mr. Bannick?" inquired the count.
"It won't be long in the place where it
is now," returned the Irishman, his eyes
twinkling, and indicating by a nod of
the head the little pile of banknotes that
lay on the desk. "I shall move this
week, and give my wife and our friends
the Ravens some elbow room of their
own. But we shall be happy to see you,
sir, wherever we are. and whenever it
suits you. I'm in East Thirteenth street
just at present"
The count rose slowly. "I thank you;
I will not incommode you until you are
settled," said he. "It came to me," he
added, with some hesitation, "that if I
find the pictures of this young lady to
have merit, and I therefore decide to
give her an order for one, it would be
necessary for me to have a personal in
terview with her. Would tnat be con
venient to her?" .
"Indeed, then, I think it would!" ex
claimed Tom with a chuckle. "And
you'll find her acquaintance as well
worth making as any girl's in New
York." .
The count bowed. "And if," he add
ed, "you should find any obstacles in
the way of obtaining possession of the
house any, I mean not with reference
to the price it would give me pleasure
to wait upon Madams Trent. She and I
could, perhaps, come more quickly to an
understanding than through the medium
of an agent."
"It's quite on the cards she may find a
reason for seeing you," Tom returned,
rubbing his chin; "but as for the money,
I fancy shell take it, so there's enough
of it. However, youH get a full report
this evening."
"Then I will detain you no longer,"
remarked the count, stepping toward the
door.
"Before you put on your gloves I'd
Wish to shake hands with you, Count de
Lisle," said Tom, advancing with his
hand outstretched. "There's four of us
at least that you've made happy today,
and if that's your custom all I have to
gay is New York will be sad to part with
youl" . -
De Lisle took the Irishman's hand and
gave it a powerful grasp.
"I have had enemies," said he. "I have
felt the hostility of the world. Now thai
I have power, it is my wish to make
friends. Not to buy them, Mr. Bannick.
I know how to exact the value of mj
wealth, when that is my cue. But 1
should . be glad for a few people to feel
that there is something in me to like and
respect besides my money. It is a great
deal for a rich man to hope that he ma;
be thought of as anything except a rid
man; it is a penalty of great riches. But 1
have ventured to hope it this morning.'
. "And by George, you were right!" re
plied Tom, with tears in his eyes
"There's stuff in you better than evei.
came out of a gold mine. So good met
to you!"
"To you also," returned the count; and
then the door closed, and he was gone.
The rest of that day passed very pleas
antly to Tom Bannick. He depositee
his ten thousand dollars in the bank
and then drew out one thousand dollars
in the form of twenty dollar bills. Ont
of these he presented to his office boy
surprising the latter out of cynicism oi
the spot. The remaining forty-nine he de
posited in the hip pockets of his trousers.
He would have preferred the jingle ol
gold in California fashion; it seemed st
much more like real wealth, he said, but
the bills were new and he took a subtle
delight in crumpling them out of theii
crispness.
After attending to the count's busi
ness he walked to his tailor's and wac
measured for a couple of the best suits
to be had. On his way uptown he
stopped in at various emporiums of
fashiou and bought such things as a
lady's sealskin coat, full length; a couple
of dozen pairs of the finest silk stockings,
half a dozen changes of ladies' cambric
' and silk underwear; handkerchiefs,
gloves and scarfs in quantities to suit,
and of quality extra superfine; and he
came near buying a lot of bonnets and
boots, but reflected, in time, that it if
wiser to leave those mysteries to women.
There being still a couple of hours before
dinner, he visited a new apartment
house above Madison square, and find
ing a handsome suit of a dozen rooms
vacant he engaged them then and there.
Returning home he looked in at a florist'e
and spent ten dollars in aprofusion of
rich color and fragrance. . which h
ordered sent to his address, and then
home he went, with one twenty dollar
bill in bis pocket, a joyful heart, and a
countenance studiously grave.
He played the silent and serious role
all through dinner; but not so cleverly
as to satisfy his wife.
"Seems to me you're very queer thi
evening, Tom," she said at length.
"Don't you think so, Olympia? Is any
thing the matter, dear?" --
At that moment Tom heard the door
bell ring, and knew that his various pur
chases were beginning to arrive.
"I suppose I ought to tell you, my
dears," he said, addressing the three
ladies in a solemn tone, "that we shall
be obliged to vacate these lodgings next
week."
Mrs. Bannick gave her husband a sym
pathetic look, as much as to say, "It'
an outrage, their persecuting you so, but
don't worry about me." Olympia said
"Perhaps I have money enough to pay
your rent, Mr. Bannick. I'm sure 1
have!"
"I can't stand this much longer," said
Tom to himself. "Why don't they bring
that confounded parcel up stairs?" But
he compelled himself to shake his head
and sigh as if all hope were vain.
"I've spoken for other rooms already ,
he remarked.
"Well, we shall feel more comfortable
in some less expensive place," said Mrs.
Bannick, with a smile that made Tom
long to jump up and hug her.
"Mamma and I have been thinking
that we are able now to take lodgings
by ourselves," began Olympia, "and"
Tom could not have held in anothei
moment; but just then the door opened,
and in came the servant girl with a big
paper box, addressed to Mrs. Bannick.
"Tome!" exclaimed that lady. "Why,
what in the world who can have sent
me anything?"
"Open it and let's see what it is," said
Tom, thrusting his hands in his pockets
lest, in his impatience, he should tear it
open himself.
Mrs. Bannick opened the box, unfolded
some tissue paper and disclosed a mag
nificent sealskin cloak. "Oh, this is evi
dently a mistake," she said. "The idea
of my having a sealskin! - But oh, how
lovely it is!"
"No," pnt in Olympia; "here's a card
pinned to it: 'To Mrs. Bannick, with the
best love of Why, my dear, it's from
your husband himself!"
"Hurray! Ha!v ha!" cries Tom, "it's
all right, girls! The new rooms we are
to move into are a palace! We're as
rich as Croesus! I spent nine hundred and
eighty dollars this afternoon, and here's
the other odd twenty'" And springing
to his feet he embraced first his wife and
then Olympia and her mother amid a
chorus of exclamations and questions
and a scene of excitement impossible to
describe. And before they could settle
down to any sort of composure the hell
rang again, and more bundles and boxes
appeared, until the little dining room
looked like a haberdasher's and cos
turner's shop. The four happy people
talked so fast that you would have
thought there were a dozen of them, and
between the outbursts of admiration and
delight at the new things Tom interlard
ed his account of the morning's advent
ure with the aiillionaire count. Finally
the flowers arrived in two divisions, one
for Mrs. Bannick and one for Olympia
and her mother.
"This is too glorious!" exclaimed Tom's
wife, kissing him. "I couldn't bear an
other thing tonight! Tom, you are an
angel, and so is the count! What sort
of a looking man is he?"
"Oh, French style," replied Tom;
"blonde, with dark eyes; a handsome
fellow, Miss Raven! -He's a bit stiff in
his manner, but that's only outside. We
got to be quite chums before he left, and,
by tne by, I caught myself half a dozen
times feeling toward him as if he were
an old acquaintance, though 1 never met
any one a bit like him before. I suppose
all good fellows will be like one another,
somehow. But it was odd, all the same."
CHAPTER X.
ALONZO OA1.C1A.
"And this Is your first visit to AmerieaV
Tom Bannick and his wife soon moved
into their new quarters, and Mrs. Raven
and Olympia accompanied them. Olym
pia, indeed, had felt somewhat sensitive
about keeping up such intimate relations
with people now grown wealthy, but she
yielded to the Bannicks' obviously sin
cere protestations. Besides, the price
given for her pictures by Count de Lisle
and his promise to order another made
her feel almost rich herself.
One morning whiie she was painting
in the little room set apart for her studio,
and her mother and Mrs. Bannick were
out shopping, the Count de Lisle's card
was brought in to her. "He's come to
give me the order!" she said to herself,
and reflecting that it would be business
like to receive him in her studio, palette
in hand, she bade the servant conduct
him in.
He presently appeared, filling up the
doorway with his tall, military figure.
Olympia, rising, glanced at his yellow,
upright hair, his shining eyeglasses, and
his short, pointed beard, and feared she
would find him tiresome. " But he had
been so good to her friends and herself,
and rumor made him out so extraor
dinary a personage, that she was dis
posed to make the most of any promising
traits he might display.
"I interrupt you at your work?" said
he, bowing, and looking so very French,
and with so marked a French accent,
that Olympia unconsciously replied to
him in the Gallic tongue, which she
spoke really as well as her own. "Mais
non, monsieur," said she; "vous ns

A Story of Monte Carta
In the good old days of M. Blanc it
was the custom, so the story goes, di
rectly a suicide was found to stuff his
pockets full of bank notes. This was
done to prove that his losses at play
were not the cause of his hurried de
parture from the shores of time. The
last person who received this generous
treatment was, I believe, an American.
He was found lying in one of the quiet
alleys of the beautiful grounds, with an
empty bottle labeled "Poison" by his
si da The secret agents of the bold
Blanc instantly stuffed his pockets full
of gold and notes, preparatory to giving
information to the police. No sooner
had they filled him as full of lucre as
he could hold than the suicide leaped to
his feet, raised his hat, exolaimed,
"Thank you very much!" and went off
to enjoy himself with his newly acquired
wealth. G. R. Sims in "Dagonet's

THE T. O. C. T.
If we take up a modern atlas and look
over the map of the United States, we see
the traceries of rivers and railroads so In
tertwined as to be confusing. Bat main
stems and main streams are plainly lined.
It is very much like a chart of the human
system, with nerves and arteries well de
fined. Particularly do we see the O. 8. X.
(great Sciatic Nerve), main stem, which
can carry to tne square inch more pain
than some railroads carry in freight. A
prominent business man in a big city was
attacked by Sciatica. The pain was awful.
He hurried home in tear that he would be
crippled by it. In half an hour he was
cured by St. Jacobs Oil. He now takes big
stock in that famous remedy, and travels
on the T. G. O. Y. (take good care oi your
self) plan, keeping a bottle of the great
pain cure always at hand, .
I had that distressing disease, catarrh ef
tne stomaco. it proved most troublesome
in the summer, and ws accompanied by
that tired feeling.' I took
Hood's Sarsaparilla
and have not bad a single attack of my
old rorr.p'aint even during the extreme
hot weather. Mv general health is also
much better." Miss MnrsiB A. Ebbbs,

BEFORE
I could get relief
from a most hor
rible blood dis
ease I had spent hundreds of dollars
trying various remedies and physi
cians, none of which did me any
good. My finger nails came off and
my hair came out, leaving me
perfectly bald. I then went to
HOT SPRINGS
Hoping to be cored by this celebrated
treatment, but very soon became disgusted
and decided to try S.S.S. The effect was
truly wonderful. I commenced to recover
at once, and after I had taken twelve bot
tles I wasentirelv cured cured bv S.S.S.
wnen tne won
renowned Hot
Springs had failed.
