Dark was the house and c heerless,
And fast fell the rain from without!
My heart was chilled by the morning,
Acd besieged by many a doubt.
And I said: Thero is no ooi in trying.
The old year is dying, dyln.
Many hearts that were ylftd
Are wenry and sad,
And the world Is ailed with the sishing."
The good man came in whistling.
Though the rain fell fast without;
Bo cheered my heart with his joy song,
And scattered my every doubt.
And hesuid: "We'll Just keep on trying.
A new year will spring from the dying.
Many hearts shall I e glad
That now are so and.
And songs shall grow out of the sighing."

They do not do bo now, but in bygone
times some of the medical students and
young practicing physicians of Detroit
were in the habit of stealing bodies for
dissection from the cemeteries adjoining
the city.
In those times there were two young
doctors, just out of their teens, who
wero partners in a practice which loft
them with a greet deal of time on their
hands. Both of them were strong of
head and of physical makeup, and either
1 of them could drink any other man in
j Detroit drunk on cherry whisky and
still retain his sea legs and his cool
head. And there were not a few sturdy
drinkers in Detroit then.
1 Nevertheless, while the young physi
cians appeared to be sailing straight for
I tha riv.1 rt flwiir ll,Dw J 4
wv w wivf,, nicjr jpuw 111 a ie.ll,
deal of time, much of it stolen from the
night, advancing themselves in a profes
sion to which they were courageously
devoted. One of them, it may be men
tioned incidentally, advanced in the aft
er days to a very high position in the
medical department of the United States
army, and the other became one of the
foremost physicians of the city.
One night the .two dtermined upon
making a sally upon a certain cemetery,
to steal the corpse of a man who had
died of a peculiar disease, which was the
talk of the little town at the time, and
which threw medical circles into sharp
and in some instances furious discus
sion. When they sauntered from their
favorite boozing place, they were pretty
well filled with cherry whisky, and the
hour was past 1 1 o'clock. Their cronies
came away with them, as that was the
customary hour for retiring unless it
happened to be a holiday occasion, when
"We Won"t Go Home Till Morning" was
sung, a song, by the way, which imparts
a flavor of the wine of the immortals to
good average whisky which in its turn
cheerfully and heartily reciprocates the
compliment, by causing the song to thrill
the soul like the war hymn of trium
phant archangels.
Earlier in the evening they had made
arrangements for a horse and a light
wagon, spades, pickax, crowbars and
ropes. They knew the location of the
grave, and they started out. The night
favored them with opaque clouds which
bid a three-fourths faded summer moon.
Arrived at the desired place, outside
the cemetery fence, they led the horse
into a stnp of woods, crossed the road
and entered the cemetery. Before pro
ceeding to business they took a hearty
pull at the cherry bottle. With the aid
of their dark lanterns they found the
mark which had been made upon the
grave in the daytime. They then pro
ceeded to adjust their dark colored sheet
ing. The grave was pretty close to the
road, but they didn't mind that. The
sheeting, hung on sticks pressed into the
ground, screened the grave from all
points of view, and the dark lantern was
hung in such a position that it shone in
a narrow circle downward upon the
grave.
Both seized their 6pades then and went
to work with a will at either end of the
grave, space being taken at one end to
afford room for both to work. In this
way the muscular young fellows soon
reached the over box. The top of this
was taken oil and laid aside. In a little
while the cover of the coffin was nn
crewed, and in tho haste of the moment
it was thrown out of the grave. It struck
the width of sheeting next the road and
threw it down.
The corpse was a very heavy one, and
it took the united efforts of both the doc
tors to raise it in the narrow space of the
grave. They managed to stand it up at
the end of the gravo and then concluded
that tho best thing to do was to have one
of them lift from below and the other
from the top. To this end one of them
proceeded to climb out of the grave, but
just at that moment their blood wag
frozen in their veins by a piercing shriek.
On the night chosen by the young doc
tors for their raid on the cemetery K.
William Green, a suburban beau, whose
characteristics were of the hue of his
name, and whose courage was utterly
disproportioned to his tall, gaunt frame,
was returning homeward in company
with Mary 8 , as beautiful a country
girl as ever tripped over the daisies and
as bright and intelligent as she was beau
tiful. People often wondered then how
a beauty of such manifest superiority of
character could see anything attractive
In a fellow like Bill Green, but from this
coign of time the riddlo is easily read
beaua were very scarce in the township
of II in thoso days, and hence a girl
had no chuice. It was said that tiiey
were affianced, but this was not true.
Something in Mary's conduct had held
William Lack from declaring himself.
although sue readily allowed ms atten
tion and refused tho proffers of escort
of a certain newcomer i-.i tho field.
That night the couple had been to a
party, and tho shortest and indeed the
only way to their respective homes was
by the cemetery road, unless it miyhtbe
across the rough fields, au impracticable
way in the dark.
As the twain approached the dark hol
low of the road, which the bounds of the
cemetery touched, Mary naturally drew
closer to her tall escort, and the touch of
femininity awakened in William tho de
termination to take advantage of htr
timidity and pop the question. But Wil
liam was abit of acowarj, as already in
'iuiated, and the chill hour of midnight.
together with the continuity ot the grave
yard, was not to his liking. His heart
I went pit-a-pat, not for the adored object
at his side, but because of cerlain noises
which the wind made among the bushes
in the cemetery, and he also fancied there
were footsteps behind him. His repressed
fears controlled his tongue, upon which
, a proposal of marriage hung suspended,
although Mary pressed closer to his side
as they walked rapidly along.
As for the thoughts that were passing
through the shapely head of Mary at the
time, the lady has since said that she
knew from William's actions that he
wanted to propose, and she frankly ad
mits that he would have been accepted
on the spot, since she entertained the
idea that she would have been aban
doned in tho horrible place if she had re
fused. On such little things do the piv
ots of a lifo sometimes swing.
W illiam was long in drawing his cour
age to the sticking point. At length he
drew in a long breath, nnd tremulously
uttering the name that Eyron and Burns
loved eo fondly "Mary" was about to
declare himself nnd ask for her hand, but
at that critical moment the disturbed
eyes of both were drawn to the cemetery
by tho light of tho dark lantern. They
suddenly stopped in a palsy of fear. And
such a borriblo sight as they saw!
Tho face of a corpse protruding from
the grave, every frightful feature ex
posed in the light of tho dark lantern I
Mary shria.:ei a.;d fell in a dead faint.
William's knees smote together, and his
hair arose in abject fright. Another in
stant nnd his legs, wl. ch were growing
too weak to support him, would have
fiven way and brought him to the
ground, but Mary's shriek, in the total
eclipse of his senses sounding like the
yelp of a pursuing fiend, galvanized him
into tho strength of terror, and he flew
down the road like the shadow of a scud
ding cloud. Scrambling over the fence,
for a cross cut to his home, his coattails
were gripped from behind by the stout
sliver of a rail, and thinking that the
fiend had him ho fainted dead away and
hung there for an hour. Recovering his
senses later, he staggered to the house
and to bed, where he remained a very
sick man for two weeks.
The shriek paralyzed tho young doc
tors for but a moment. They scrambled
hastily out of the grave. One of them
seized the dark lantern and closed the
slide, and then both of them stood silent,
drawing quick breaths. Not a sound was
heard. It wr.s a place remoto from
houses, and they were sail! fied that even
such a piercing shriek would convoy no
alarm.
"It must have come from the road,"
whispered one to tho other.
I "Let us search," was the brief reply.
I The body of the girl was found, aniZ
the young physicians, regardless of their
own Bafety and at no little risk of their
lives in case of discovery, set at work to
bring tho girl out of her deathlike swoon.
It was no easy task to allay her fears.
They did everything that men could do
to reassure tho frightened girl, and grad
ually she became self possessed and
begged to bo taken home. She was too
I weak to walk. The team was brought
around, and she was carefully and ten
derly assisted to a seat. Dr. X was be
side her, and reaching down tho dark lan
tern to his companion, who stood in the
road, he said, "Leave it."
Tho other under jtood, and without hes
itation proceeded to reintcr the corpse
and hide the tools in the adjoining
woods. Ho said afterward that ho mado
a better job at fashioning tho mound

How Loco Acts. "
Loco is often called "crazy weed"
from its direful effect on cattle or horses
when they eat it in any quantity. In the
beginning the poison is slow in showing
itself. The first symptom is usually a
dull, glassy look in the eyes, which grad-!
nally dilate and become wild and staring. '
If after this the animal is left to craze
on the herb, the symptoms will become
more pronounced, the vision becomes
impaired, and the victim develops an
aptitude for grotesque antics, sometimes
rushing madly about. A "locoed" horse
will balk, back, rear and often hurl it
self backward, and has the greatest ob
jection to having its head touched.
The last and fatal stage of the disease
is a gradual wasting away of the ani
mal. Cattle born on the prairies seem
instinctively to avoid the loco. High
grade beasts most easily fall victims to
their partiality for tho weed. Chambers'

How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Cift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follnws nnd you may see a way to do It.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for Inventions, but it would
like to handle thoiiMuids more. There is plenty

A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thliiK. The idea Is that an in
ventor must be a natural ueiiius, like Kdlsou or
Bell: that he must ilevnte vers lo didvlnir li,
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a lorllilic on delicate experiments
before he can gel a new device to a patentable
deitree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires lo get into
the head of the nubile a clear coninrehenslnn
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive ill vent Ions t hat briugliie best returns
to their authors, hut the lillle, simple, and
cheap ones the tilings Hint seem so absurdly
trivial I n ti l tnu average citizen would feel
soniewliiit ashamed of lirlnglug them to the
attention of the Patent Office.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost every bony has been
struck, alone tune or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such Ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"W hy don't the railroad company make Us car
windows so thji they can be slid up and down
with jui breaking the passengers' back!" ex
claims the traveler. "If 1 were running Ihe
road I would make them iu such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook, "lie never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls aman
who is late for breakfast. "If I were 111 the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out. or breuk off, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And the various sutterers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
venienl opportunity, put their ideas about ear
windows, saucepans and collar bullous Into
i radical shape, and then apply for patents
tney might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who imenied the Iron
umbrella ring, or the oue who patented
the tlfteeu puzzle.
A TKIMPTINGOtH-.lt.
To Induce the people to keen track of their
bright idens and see what there iu them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
1 nze.
'lo Hie person who mibmlta to it
Hie simplest and most promising
invention, from u commercial
point of view, I lie company will
give I wcniy. live li unit red dollars
in ciikh. in addiiio.i lo relundinB
Hie teen for securing a puK nt.
I will also advertise I lie invcu.
Hon free ol charge.
This otter Is subject to the following condi
tions: Every competitor 'must obtain a potent for
his invention through the company, lie must
first apply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should this
sesch show his Invention tube unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense
Otherwise he will be expected to complete his
application and take out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, Including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seventy
dollars. For this, w hether he secures a prize
or not. the Inventor will have a patent that
ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a Jury consisting of
Ih ree reputable patent attorneys ot Washing
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, aud forward it with their
application:
"I submit the within described invention In
competition for the Twenty-live hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
XO BLANKS IN THIS COM PETION.
This Is a compctltlcii of rnlhcr'an tintml na
ture. It Is common to ofter prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, nil the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful one merelv selling his for the
omonn or the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer Is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
self, and the one who helps him self to the
best advantage is tn be rewarded by doing It.
The prize is only a" stimulus to do snmethln
that would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for a
club house ou a certain corner is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
ittle use to hlin. But the person who patent a
simple and useful device In the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry If he
fail to secure a prize. Ee has a substantial
result to show for his work one that wil
command its value iu the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article In his daily
work ought to know better how to Improve It
than the mechanical expert who studies it
only from the theoretical point of view. Get
rid of the Idea tha'. an iinptoveineut can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The simpler Hie
better. The person who best succeeds In
combining simplicity and popularity, will tet
the Press Claims Company's tweiity fivo bun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact I hat its stock is held by
abiiiit three hundred of the leading newspapers
of the United Slates.
