A MEETING.
Two that wrecked each other's hope,
Parting coldly in their prime,
Met upou the downward slope,
Taught hy teirs and calmed liy time,
Under autumn's perfect trees,
Dropping bright remembrancei.
There they spread their stories out,
Face to face and hand to hand,
Lr.oking back with wistful doubt
Into the forgotten land
Where the wheels of life went fast,
Hardly seen till they were past.
Looking where the dawn hail been,
Till each gray and pallid line
Shivers with a sun unseen,
Which must never rise and shine,
And the moment, lost and vain,
Comes before their souls again.

You were there jou came at ten.
"In your hair was something pink ;
How I hate the hue since then !"
" Hato a harmless ribbon 1 " " Nay,

" I remember what you said."
"But you hughed, and I despaired.

You might fancy that I cared."

Scathlcss as our heart for me."
"Something in your voico assures
You havo angry feelings yet."
"Something told mo then in yours
That would not quito forget ;
Just one foolish moment lit
Hope that laugh extinguished it."
"Sure the flamo was very weak 1"
" 'Twas jour silence let it die."
"If a man's hope will not rpcak
Can a woman's heart reply?"
"dlad I npoken ? Do 1 know?
It was very long ago I "
Faco to face and hand in hand
Looking at trosu eastern smes,
la thi- light along the land
Only borrowed from their eyes ?
Can the song of birds bo drawn
From a memory of dawn ?
Lo I the hill, the sea, the plain,
Flushing with familiar rose.
Look away, and look again,
But the color Btays aud grows.
Whereforu stand amazed ana dumb?
Know ye not that morn must come ?

Aunt Jean's Mistake-
" Oh, tlearl it is to iilciwant, to wiy in tlio

Kitty looked with longing eyen lit the
creeping titlwof Huntdiiuuou the hill Hide,
and tho great hImiIowm that the upple
trco houghs miulo us they swayd on the
grits.
Thero was a eathivd singing in the inn

BliO could ho that cathird, and dwell in a
glorified region ot green leaves, where
churning, whitewash pails aud quilting
bees were unknown.
Bho knew that even now tho scarlet

As theso tempting thoughts passed
across her mind, she heard Aunt Jean's
thrill voice at tho hack door, taking to
tome one.
"A painter, eh?" said she. "Oh, yes,
you'ro welcome to a drink of water. You
Ctin draw it, fresh and cool, for yourself.
Xlio well's out under the big butternut

Certainly, nm'iun I " said a deep, pleas
ant voice.
Kitty leaned forward to get it peep at
the possessor o( that clear, soft tenor.
Ho was a young man, with rt sort of
pack straped'on his back, and something
that resembled a inagiiilled umbrella in
Id bund.
"Oh," said Kitty, to herself, "a iieddlcr'
Aunt Jean is getting harder and hauler of

"Well," said Aunt Jean, " I dobheve

Aunt Jean was awaiting the division of
the young man, with one hand back of
licr far, when Kitty walked in, her bright
eys spaikling with mitth, her cheeks rosy,
ami her lips pursed up in the desperate
attempt not to smile.
" You'll please excuse Aunt Jean, m
good man," said she. " Wo don't want
anything to-dav. Thero was a peddler

Tho young man Uorton U'igh was

his mind at once.
" Pardon me," ho said, ' but I am not a

And in less than five minutes the
" young man " was mounted on a ladder,
brandishing n good-sized whitewash brush,
Kitty Ford was churning and Aunt Jean
was tacking the quilton the frames m the
best room. , .
"Thero nothing like getting a good

Aunt Jean. . , , ,
At twelve o'clock tho back tol-room
was whiter and sweeter than any lily, the
tho butter hail "come," the quilt was sat
isfactorily arranged, and the whole family
sat down to a savory meal of fried chicken,
white bread, milk and btriuvljcrry short
cuke.
" You scorn to he a very respectable
voting man," said Aunt Jean, critically
surveving the stranger. "If you'd like
to stay hero and do chores for your hoard,
you might sleep in thebarn-chamls;r, and
I could recommend you to do whitewash
ing jobs for tho neighbors. Deacon Dowd s
house needs a now coat of paint, and 1 in
'most sure that Widow Wnatlian iriicny
would like her barn painted to match fie
now house."
" I am greatly obliged to you," said the
young man, toying with a particularly
large berry, " but I do not execute orders
in that branch. I am an artist."
A which?" said Aunt Jean.
"An artist. Shall I show you some of
my sketches?"
Aunt Jean put on her spectacles at
once.
" Well, I don't object to look at 'em,
said she. " Hut I won't promise to buy.
Vo got a very pretty chromo with tho last
pound o'tea wo bought, and Kitty cuts
pictures out of the illustrated papers and
pastes 'em on to stono jars!"
Mr. IiOigh laughed.
"Oh, I don't expect to iiiiiko a saioi
said he. "All theso are merely first ideas,
jotted down in the crudest of fashions.
To speak the truth, my real object in cal
ling here this inori ing was to ask permis
sion to sketch tlioo picturesque ruins
down by the old road."
"Oh!" said Aunt Jean; "tho old
smithy. Dear, dear! there aint nothing,
but a tumble-down stuuwall and a few
mullein-stalks left there. Kfyou could wait
till nextspring, Klilm Lewis moans to put
a lirst-class blacksmith's shop. Hut
you're welcome to do all tho sketchin' you
wantl"
Kitty's eyes sparkled.
" I wish 1 was an artist," said she, as
she turned over tho bits of mill-board,
all or which wero instinct of life and
beauty.
" Well," said Aunt Jean, complacently,
"why shouldn't you bo? I duro say
this young man can show you how he
lines it."
Kitlv looked at tho young man ; the
voiimr man looked at Kitty, anil then both
burst into a peal of baity laughter to Aunt
Jean's great inystilication.
"Oh, aunty," said Kitty, still choking
behind her 'pocket-handkerchief, "that
isn't the way that artists are made! "
Half an hour later, Kitty Ford was out
on tho green, boding her little downy
ducklings with scalded meal, when Judge
halighington's carriage drove up.
Kitty let the tin pan fall in her dismay.
To her, Miss Laughington, in her summer
silks and diamonds, long white plumes
and eight-buttoned kid gloves, represented
all that was elegant and adorable.
How she logrolled that she still wore
her old blue gingham gown, and that her
curls were all entangled hy the sweet, soft
wind!
"Don't run away. Kitty, dear," said
Miss Laughington, beckoning with her
ivory-handled parasol. " You are the very
girl' that I want to see. My cousin, Mr.
l'igh, is coining down this way, to-day, to
sketeli. I have told hint about those
pietty.old ruins of the blacksmith's shop ;

"Oh, Miss l.augliinglon, erieu ruuy,

And after the glistening carnage Iniil
rolled away, Kitty I'onl sat down aud
cried.
Judge Laughiugton's daughter drove
on to tho ruined smithy, where Mr. Leigh
was composedly putting in" the lights
and shadows of tho old chimney and tho
mullein-stalks.
ltnl she went back to the. stately "Com t"
with a U'lit brow and an ill-pleased expres
sion of faco.
" lloiton is so awfully eccentric! " said
she. "There's no knowing what lvdieu
lous whim ho will take up net."
For Mr. Leigh had declined to accept
tho hospitalities of the Court.
" You always nave siicn loans oi com

So ho went back, that night, just as the

Hut Kitty Ford, secure in her innocent
happiness, never knew how many tears
Antonia Laughington had shed over her
cousin's wedding card. And Aunt Jean
makes her boasts that Kitty has " store
carpets" in every one of her rooms and a
carriage of her own.
" He's a painter," said Aunt Jean to her
friends. " Not a house-painter, but a picture-painter.
And ho knows how to
whitewash a ceiling equal to Perkins l'olk.
I guess there ain't no fear, but that he'll

Kitty likes him, and that's enough."
Care o! Farming Implements.
Tho Ohio Farmer says: Wo have
noticed that plows last, on an average,
about three years, wagons, eight to ten
years; reapers, five to eight; drills, eight
to ten. Wo think theso figures are quite
its much as tho truth warrants. We know
f liinnv imnlcinents that have not lasted
so lotiir. and of many which have lasted
tntteii niieer. Wo to-dav can point 10

more than fifteen years, drills that have
lecn in use as long, anil other imple
ments. These wero not made of extra
gwxl materials, nor were they suffered to
lio hv. Thev wero put to constant use.
What, then, is the secret of their greater
endurance? It is but this they were
taken euro of. hen not in use they
wero put awav with care. These imple
ments not only kept longer, but when
tliev woro in use they might be depended
on. They woro kept ready for work. Tho
realtors did not brak down in the midst of
harvest and compel tho hands to remain
idle while some one went to tho railway
stations to get repairs ; the drills did not
need to lie repaired just when the wheat
ought to lio sown; the wagons wero not
always breaking down and occasioning
stoppages and vexation. Another thing
may 1x3 said in their favor, and that is
they always did good work. Tho reapers
out a smooth stubble and put the grain
down in good condition ; the plows did
not refuse to scour; the drills put the
wheat in just as it should be, and Hum
implements did good work, not only while
they were new, until the last year they
were in use.

otllcc. Court was in session, and early this

A Heat Little Job In Toothpicks.
Mirth vegetated like a mushroom at
Hopcraft's, in Franklin street, last week.
Senator Drowning, the Hon. Arthur D.
Williams, Robert C. Drown, a well known
cigar dealer and George Hojicraft, pro
prietor of the restaurant, wero at dinner.
Hoiicraft was called from the table on
business. " Let's stick Hop for a bottle of
wine," suggested Banana Bob.
' Possibly it can't be done," Mr. Brown
ing observed.
"Excuse me, Senator, but you re not
very fly," Mr. Brown replied. " Oblige me
by counting those toothpicks," pointing
to a small tumbler filled with yellow splin
ters. "I'll show you how to let Hop in
for the wine." .
The Senator counted the toothpicks.
There were thirty-one of them. Banana
Bob threw three on the floor. " Now there
arc only seven times for twenty-eight
d'you twig?" he remarked.
A moment afterward Hopcraft returned.
Bob dumped the tootpicks on tho table.
" Hop, old boy," he said, " we're drawing
picks for a bottle. Are you in? "
"What do you mean?" the proprietor
inquired.
"Why, each of us keeps on drawing
toothpicks, one after nnother.and the man
who draws last is stuck. Are you in? "
"All right, go ahead," Hoiicraft replied
in a tone of uncertainty.
The words were hardly out of Ins mouth
before Brown, Browning and Williams
had drawn from tho pile, leaving Hoiicraft
tho fourth to draw. Ho took a toothpick.
Hob drew a second time, and the others
followed seriatim. Hopcraft's quick eye
ran over the pile. Ho saw where he was
was about to land and he tipped a quick
wink at Williams and Browning. Banana
Hob had drawn tho fourth time. Before
Browning could reach the pile Hopciaft
threw tho remaining toothpicks out of the
window, saying : " That settles it. You
lose, Hob."
"How?" said tho astonished cigar
dealer.
"Why, you drew last," was the re
sponse. The wine was paid, Mr. Williams
shrewdly observing : " Excuse me, Hob,
but you'ro not very fly." N. Y. Sun.
Spare the Polecat.
Mr. Lot Honine, of Vandalia, Cass
county, Mich,, has decided opinions as to
to tho value of that much despised ani
mal, the skunk, to fanners, and recently
prepared a short essay, to bo read before
the Farmers' Club of that place, in which
ho speaks of skunks and quails : These
animals, that are generally ruthlessly
destroyed, are invaluable to tho farmer.
The skunk destroys all kinds of insects,
especially the grub worm, which is a
favorite dish of his. He is also very des
tructive to the various kinds of vermin
that infest the wheat fields, corn fields,
patato patches, meadows, etc. He is noc
turnal in his predatory habits, his keen
scent enabling him to surprise insects
when they are asleep. He can scent a
grubworm at a distance of two or three
rods away and four inches under ground
and dig it out. The quail lives in the
wheat fields and picks oil' thousands of in
sects that destry the wheat and grass. All
farmers should protect quails and skunks,
as they are of great benefit to the growing
crops
Mad-Stones and Hydrophobia.
A mad-stono or calculus is found in tho
paunch of a deer or cow. It is claimed by
those who have faith in tho mad-stono
that it adheres to the wound until it be
comes charged with poison, w en it drops
oil". It is then so-ked in milk, and the
application is renewed. As a very small
percentage of those who arc bitten would
have the disease any way, it is very easy
to deceive people with a mad-stone. It
is said that of the animals bitten two dogs
out of three will have it, the majority of
horses have it, cattle have a better chance,
and sheep still better. It is estimated that
ono person in twenty takes tho disease
some estimates are greater, some less.
There is a record of a dog that was bitten
by thirty mad dogs, and outlived them
ail.
The Eaatetn Fart of the Palouse Country.
The Palouse Gazette says : The citizens
of tho eastern part of this country should use
some exertion to iuduce the coming immi
gration to come and examine the country
ivlorg the base of the mountains. The great
Potlatch country offers great inducements to
the settlers, because of its natural advan
tages of timber, water, etc. The excellent
body of land strrounding (Jenesee, Union
town and Colton, and extending north past
Pullman, Palouse City. Farmington and into
the Kock ere. k country, is all one grado of
land, constituting the Duet body of land on
the racitic uoast. iteini; convenient to um
ber, and everywhere aboundinc in springs, it
otters advantages that do not exist further
west. The soil is a rich, black loam, covered
with a sod that is easily turned over with
thra common horses. Numerous towns are
scattered throughout this belt of laud, and
excellent null facilities everywhere abound,

Value of Middle Orexon.
New countries are almost always underrated
at tirtt. The miuers who first worked tl e
placers of California pronounced the valleys
of that State entirely worthless for agricul
tural purposes. Within a few years the
product of the farms exceeded the product of
the mines, and farming lands were selling at
$100 per acre. Early immigrants to Oregon
pused through the vast regions between
Snake river and the Cascade mountains, and
declared that the country was totally unfit
for human habitation. A few decides hive
passed away, and many of these rame people

Palouse City Lumber Market.
We have repeatedly said that Palouse City
will eventually he the great lumber mart of
the Palouse country, says the Palouse City
Boomerang. Already is our prediction com
ing true. You may go fifty miles west of
here and you will meet teams headed for this
point to purchase lumber. Why is this?
Becauso our town was (by a mtre accident)
located at a point on the Palouse river that is
easy of access, and jmt as far from the moun
tains as los can be run without any risk of
being caught by a sudden rise or 'all i the
river. Logs can be run from the mountains,
a distance of some ten mihs, for ten timeB
less than it can be hauled on'a wagon j while
the cost of running beyond Palouse City is
equal to or more than the cost of hauling on
a wagon. We are often asked if wo thmK a
railroad will come to Palouse City. When
we see the great country that must be sup
plied with lumber, when we see forty teams
in one day loading lumber at Palouse City,
when we know that the demand for lumber
will increase many times what it now is, and
when we know that our supply is inexhausti
ble, and that our facilities for manufacturing
are unequaled at any other point in the Pa
louse country, we are compelled to believe a
railroad will be constructed to some point on
the Palouse river near the present town of
Palouse City.
Heavy Sale.
As a rule, sales of land in this neighborhood
have been heretofore small in number of acres
and amounts paid, says the Spokane Review,
but there was a transaction made through
G. H. Morgan this week that had the appear
ance 01 a wnoiesaie uisposmon oi lanaea
property. The sale was that of 2,800 acres
of land, lying within six miles of Farmington,
Whitman county, in township 21, range 44
east, by J. N. Squier and Eugene Germond
to J. F. McNaught, of Seattle. The price
paid was 37.00 per acre, which foots the total
up to SI 9, 000. This shows that men of means
are waking up to the fact that investments
in Eastern Washington are an assurance of
big returns, and consequently are on the
lookout fur property to buy. Farmington is
situated in one of the best farming belts in
this section of the Territory, and it is safe to
predict that before five years the land sold
will be woith at least double the price paid
for it.

Tho abore Is a good likeness of Hra. LydlaKFlsky
ham, of Lynn, Mass., who abore all other human beings
may be truthfully called the "Dear Friend of Woman,"
as some of her correspondents lore to caU her. She
la sealously dcroted to her work, which is the outcome
of a life-study, and la obllsed to keep six lady
assistants, to help her answerthe largo correspondence
which dally pours In upon her, each bcoriag Its special
burden of suffering, or Joy at release from it Her
Vegetable Compound Is a medicine for good and no,
era purposes. I hare personally tnrestlgated it and
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On account of ltsprorcnmerlts.lt is recommended
and prescribed by the best physicians In the country.
Ono says l "It works UVe a charm and aares much
pain. It wffl cure entirely the worst form of falling
of the uterus, leucorrhcea, Irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Orarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, noodlngs, all Displacements and the con
sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to
the Change of Life."
It permeates erery portion of the system, anaglrw
new life and rigor. It remores falntness, flatulency,
destrorall craring for stimulants, and rcUeres weak
nessottfce stomach. IS cures Bloating, neodaches,
Rcrrous Prostration, General Dobllltr, Sleeplessness,
Depression and Indigestion. That feeling ot bearing:
down, causing pain, weight and backache, Is always
permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and
undr all circumstances, act In harmony with the law
that gorerns tho femalo system.
It costs only L per bottle or six for , and Is sold by
druggists. Any adrlce required as to special coses, and
tho names of many who hare been restored to perfect
health by tho use of the Vegetable Compound, con be
obtained by addressing Mrs. I, with stomp for reply,
at her home in Lynn, Mass.
For Kidney Complaint of efffter sex this compound Is
unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show.
"Mrs. rinkhom's Ltrer rills," says one writer, "ore
the test fci tht world for the cure of Constipation,
BUlousncss and Torpidity of tho liver. Her Blood
Purilltr works wonders In its special lino and bids fair
to equal the Compound In Its popularity.
All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose sol.
ambition Is to do good to others.
