And where thou art, O love,

Thou art away.

The colonel and the young reporter
were sipping their respectiva portions
of a cold bottle of beer and listening
to the whir of an electric fan the other
night when the colonel grew reminis
cent. "Away before the war," remarked
the colonel, musingly, "when I was
just sprouting my first whisker a

uct of the effete east my father sent
me out into southwest Missouri to get
braced up. I don't know what was
the matter with me, but I was all run
down, and my father was convinced
that a season on the Missouri farm of
my undo would prove beneficial alike
to my mind and body. I might say be
fore going further that it did.
"I bade my mother a sorrowful
good-by-, away back In New York city,
and in due course of time I landed on
the farm of my uncle. It was a reve
lation, the verdure-clad hills, the
breezes smelling spicy and sweet, the
cold water from the well, wholesome
food in large quantities, horses to ride
and a lovely pool to go swimming iu
made a new boy of me in a week.
Uarring the fact that I was compelled
to retire with the rest of the family at
nine o'clock at night and get up at an
hour in the morning when the dew on
the grass felt to my bare feet like ice
water, that farm was heaven. It was
two heavens when I got acquainted
with Mclviua Drake.
Melvina Drake was about the four
teenth child of a farmer living about
two miles nearer town than my uncle.
ller latner, boloinon Drake, was the
poorest man iu the county, lie was
poorer than watered buttermilk, but
the nicest, raildest-maunered old man
you ever saw. His wife was a skinny,
sallow, forsaken-looking, over-worked
woman, with no pleasure in store for her
but death, lloth were hard-worlduc
but houest, but they had some kind of
a hoodoo ou them. They were old res-
identcrs in that part of the country,
and their ancestors bad been there be
fore them, but as far back as the mem
ory of man could extend the Drakes
hud always been poor aa mv uncle
sum 'pure a.isnucks.' About all the
Drakes seemed fitted for was increas
ing the population and getting bold of
horses that couldn't draw anything but
llies.
Aa I was say ing, Melvina was about
the fourteenth ui the Drake brood, and
she waa a dream. I guess alio was
about sixteen years, big and sweet and
healthy, ller cheeks were as rosy anil
clear as a Missouri apple, and her eyes
were big aud blue. And tdiu was no
doggone innocent that I hope 1 may
die if it didn't use to embarrass mcliUe
thunder.
"I'onsequence wan I got 'mushed' ou
Melvina; hard 'mushed.' I don't be
lievo a stronger fuse of calf love ever
ileveloM-d in thia whole state of Mis
Mturl. If I saw one of my cousina or
any ntlier toy talking to her I would

relatives. I started down the. road to
meet Melvina. I had arranged with
her to walk to town, figuring on the
walk back in the moonlight, wheu we
could 'hold hands' as we strolled aiong
the road and slobber over each other.
My uncle wanted us to go in the
wagon with him and his family, but I
was too wise.
"It was two miles to the Drake
cabin, and four miles to town. 1 was
to meet Melvina at the turn in the
road inst below her lather's house.
The sun was about two hours high
and east long shadows on the ground
as I trudged along to the trysting
place.
"I remember 1 ook out my Barlow
and- cut a stout stick from a hedge
along tha roadside, in anticipation of
a possible brush with the lion. The
air was heavy with the sweet smell of
orchards,' ripening grain and new
mown hav, and I was the happiest
youth in Missouri. I made up my mind j
I was going to spend every cent I pos
sessed on Melvina.
"Directly 1 came to where she was.
She had on a dress that couldn't have
cost more than a quarter, but she
looked like a queen in it, although, I
must confess, it lit her like it was cut
out with a pair of skates. A wide
brimmed hat sat jauntily on herbrovvn
curls, and her face looked like a ripe
peach to a hungry man. I noticed she
had no shoes on, b-l that cut no ice
with me, for she had as pretty a foot
and ankle as anybody would want to
look at.
"1 had calculated on making a hit
with Melvina with my store clothes,
and I did. I paralyzed her. She just
stood and looked at me while wave
after wave of hot blushes chased up
her white neck aud congregated in her
face. I stood simpering like a prize
idiot. She began to cry, and wouldn't
tell me what was the matter with her,
and 1, wise in the ignorance of youth,
didn't know that, like all women, she
was proud, and ashamed to be seen
with me, because of the splendor of
ray raiment. I jollied her along, told
her how nice and sweet she looked,
swore she would be the belle of the
circus, aud was generally so lavish iu
my praise of her that she consented,
finally, to go with me if I'd let her go
home and fix up a bit Still I didn't
know what was the matter, but I let
her'go.
"1 laid down in the shade of a tree
on the grass to wait for her. The sun
climbed higher and wasrons loaded
wan country people rattled by on the
way to the circus. I had just figured
out that we would miss the Dannie and
grand free exhibition outside the big
tent if Melvina didn't hurry when she
hove in view. I looked at, her a second
and then jumped in the air so sudden
ly I jarred myself. If my raiment had
arn ly zed Melvina she got even all
right. She had placed a cheap ribbon
u round her neck and spoiled the beauty
it, and had covered her pretty feet
with a pair of shapeless, hard, heavy,
cowhide shoes. Uetween the tops of
her shoes and the bottom of her dress
appeared occasional glimpses of a pair
stockings of the variety known as
barber pole. They were striped red
uud yellow and the stripes were wide.
Hut she had something else on that
knocked me speechless.
Years and years had this crowning
feature of Melvina a attire been in the
Drake family. It was an heirloom, I
guess, and the only piece of finery the
family possessed. Melvina, blashinir

RELIC OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.
9tlnElos; Letter from the Commander on
Army Bests-nations.
Mrs. John S. Brown, the wife of Vice
President llrown, of the First national
bank of Crawfordsville, has a relic
which is not for sale, being nothing
less than an autograph letter of Gen.
George Washington. The letter, says
the Indianapolis News, was found
many years ago among the papers of
Maj. lleall, of Virginia, the great
grandfather of Mrs. Drown, and it has
the whole oil
You look at cod-liver oil. It is so much oil or fat.
But the chemists come along and tell us that in that
oil are united, in almost invisible form, most valuable
medicinal agents, that the fat of cod-liver oil is only
one of its merits, and that no process of medical skill
or chemical science can unite these peculiar properties
with oil as they exist in nature. This is why thm

written to him upon his resignation
from the service, after the terrible, win
ter at Valley Forge. The letter is still
in good condition, having carefully
been framed, and is one of the few au
tograph letters of Washington extant.
It has the characteristic signature,
abounding 'in flourishes, but the bal
ance of the letter is written in a com
paratively plain hand. The letter reads
as follows:
'Headquarters, 31st March, 1778.
Sir: I have received your leUer of
this date inclosing your commission.
The frequency of resignation through
out tbe army is truly alarming. In
the Virginia line this spirit unhappily
seems to rage like an epidemical dis
ease., 1 am at a loss to account how
gentlemen can reconcile such an aban
donment of the public interest at this
crisis of our affairs, cither with the
principles of honor or duly to them
selves and their country. If, however,
you think yourself warranted and are
determined to quit tbe army I must at
least insist upon your retaining your
commission till the arrival of more of
ficers in camp, I am, sir, your most
Obt. Servt., tl. Washington."
The straightforward letter of the
great commander so affected Maj.
lleall that he continued in the service,
and was instrumi alal iu bringing
about Uie recall of t number of other
resignations.

EEPPNER,

WELLS WARltEN, Druggists.
Fought a I. Ion with Ills Fists to Release
His Child.
An English missiopary in Africa was
sitting in his tent door when be saw a
party of natives approaching. They
were bringing to him a boy whose head
was covered with a piece of calico, on
removing which the missionary saw
two deep furrows, one on each side of
the scalp. The wounds had been made
by a lion a few evenings before, says
the Youth's Companion. The boy had
been brought to the Englishman for
treatment, and while he did what he
could for the sufferer the men related
what the missionary calls "as curious a
lion adventure as I ever heard."
The party were on their way to the
coast, and at night had made fires and
lain down to sleep. Suddenly they
were awakened by the deep growls of
a lion. It had leaped among them, and
bad already seized a boy, whose screams
mingled with the horrid growls of his
captor.
The men ran this wuy and that in
their terror, each thinking of his own
safety. Not so the boy's father. He
was big and strong, and besides, it was
his child who was screaming. lie had
no time to snatch up so much as
spear, but went straight at the lion,
and struck it again and again full in
