Mail: Well you eco it was this way my namo in Mrs. Soar, ntul though I don't mean to boast of my lineage, I am very proud ot the namo, (or I can count my grand mothers clear back to Noahs Ark. 1 live on top of Huckleberry Hill, nmt Mr. Dear being away from homo w much 1 hno grown fond of eolitude, being of a retiring disposition any way, (or I usually retiro about the first week in November, and stay that way a Rood lone while. It just depends on the weather, what time I get up. I look out ot tho window about the middto of April, and if the spring styles are out, I co to the opening, it not, I juet turn over and teke Another nap. I bate men and I halo dog though I dielike most of all the ones called Mills Short, Frank Rogers and Floyd Coffelt (or they keep about seventeen old, lean, hungry looking Hounds just to Anoy me, for every time I have ventured out this Summer, here thoy come, just spankity spat through the brush, breaking up my rut tic furniture, and making a noiso that works terribly on my system. I don't mind the base ball team though 1 had eo much (un with them, You see they challenged me to a little game, and they camo np here in a nicotine launch, with n big assortment ot guns and dogs and an immense big lunch basket. They Mrs. Bear. stayed right with the basket o! lunch, and turned the dogs Iooeo juet when I was taking my morning walk. Well I didn't wait to get better acquainted for there are people I dont care to ne eo:iato with any way, and besides I Miss IdbL M. Snyder, Trcahurer of ttio Brooklyn Euiit End Art Club. " If woiT.cn would pay more atUntion to their health we woula have more happy wlvcj. mothers snd daughters, nd if they would obttrve rtiulU thty would find that the doctor' prescriptions do not perform ih many cures they are given credit (or. " In consulting with my druiglst he ad vised McElree's Wine of Carduland Thed. ford's Black-Draught, end so I tooh it end have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up (o me with restored health. and it only took three months to cure me." J Wiiio of Cardui is r regulator of tho j menstrual functions and is a most as- tomsbuig tonic for women.

It fre quently brings a dear baby to homes that have been barren for years. -All druggists have $1.00 bottles of Wiaet of Cart lardui. ft 1 Ttf St I IW INE'CARDUI wanted to gut homo iu time (or dinner, (or nothing in this world makes Mr. Dear more provoked than (or mo to bo bo hind hand witli meals. Ho growls just like n man, whoa over I am tho least bit Into, eo I put out, nhd mndu n homo ruu on tho first inning. Hut I wanted most of all to tell you about the josh I played on Floyd Cotfelt nna Frank Rodgers. They came up hero with some blankets and tin things, an old coffco pot nnd a ten cent novel, and set up houpo keeping in a big hollow tree, that has belonged to our family for generations, just ns cool as yaa please aud hung their coats up on a knot like it w as a first-class hotel. 1 was mad but I didn't say anything. M voice would never have bceu heard nuovo tho noise made by those old, lean, hungry looking hounds nny way, so I just prowled around, taking notes until I got a chance to call when they wnsent in, jnst like the folks do i l town. I wanted to let them know I had been there, and I had left my card case at home, so 1 just hauled everything cut of tho house, the first thing I did. Some of tho blankets I toro into litllo pieces, then I curried some of the pieces up on tho top of the hill and scattered through the ealal brush, then I put the rust nndor a log. One I just wokcd a lace border all around with my teeth, they aro wearing lace a good deal this Summer, and it looks fine when it was all spread out on the hill. Then I used my teeth for a can opener, and I ate every thing they had. Sotno of the things I liked and some things I didn't, but I wanted to get rid of everything. I got hold of a can of pepor, and it came mighty near burning mo up, I toll ynu it was warm as love in August, but I ate a roll of buttir and that relieved that terrible burning sensation that porvnded my entire being. I tried tho pickleB too, but they gaye mo such a pquint it changed the wbc'o expression of my features, eo I dug a hole and bur.ed them down by a snlmonberry bush. Then I thought I'd make some coffee like I bad seen them do and I took the the coffco pot about 60 yards from the houEe, for I didn't want it to burn down and no insurance; cause Mr. Seugetack en conldn't climb tho hill through tho huckleberry brush with life stood clothes on, to sec to it; besides, I thought it might come in handy some time when I wanted to take a nap. I tried to stJtke a match on the teat of my pants iuHt like they did but they must navo been damp (or they wouldn't go. I didn't cure (or coffee is mighty bad for the nerves, any way; cause when anybody's sick Dr. McCormac Eaye its coffee, but. Dr. Straw eays its their imagination, hut Frank Rogers eays that coffee's all right, only you must take an antidote for he's tried it aud it works fine. He cot tho ormula down to tho teachers institute, D) I reckon it must he ell right, Tim man seems to dlv'de hie time between the teachers institute and me for lis is half the timo on my trail but I always tret the laugh on him. I nearly forgot to tell you about that novel, I jutt tore every leaf out, and scattered them all over creation, I was so disgusted to think any body in this enlightened age would read Euoh etuff, when they could just ai well read tho Coast Mall, I just nearly crlol fur the K litor over euch a lack of appreciation of really good and "mighty intercstin readin." Last spring two of my friends and myself thought wu would herd Mr. Roger's ebeop andjroats for him just like those yellow collies 'do, but ho took their out sides homo. But I got wise (or when old Rose and Ranger comes howling aftor'mo I jit run to tho haunt v. hero ir.y old friend, Dier Buck HveE end toll him to givo them a chute (or I am tired, I gg,n little ways with him, Inert I climb up a trco, and when those howling hounds go rftr rhe' deer buck and that mnn Rogrr&" goes running by with the probjtorhn streaming down his face, I just sit up tbcto in a a natural formation Feat, as cool as a cunumher, graciously waving my tail while I ponder on tho muta bility of human affairs. That man's a queer specimen any way, if ho only had n little more ofu boar cast ot features and n little deeper gro-'vl I shouldn't know him from one ol my own family, I Just bet Icould do a little side stroku with him all right. That old yellow bound with red eyes ttioy call Snyder, ho camo up horo ono day, and stuck his cold blnck uoto right in tho door of our hollow log, but Mr. Hear gave him such a box on tin) side of tho jaw, with .lis paddy paw, that ho hns had n gentlemanly mono with us folks over since Hut Ranger he's not so distant, ho'd associate with ns If we lot him, but wodont want him in our sot, and I only wish utter this Rogers, ColTelt nnd Short with nicotine, launch f .ill ot base ball team, aud those 1? old yipping and howling, lean and hungry looking old houndB would stay iu thier own back yard. Mns. 11k ah. Big Creek. The elders aro uow conducting a camp meeting on the creuk. Thesenson being now open to slay tho sportive deur, nnd on the first evening ot arrival n vol ley ot shot from the entirn crew brought down a buck with horns wasted awnv from old ogo, aud too helpless to retreat. The next morning, whim a deer full of youth and vigor appeared on the scone and Fred Johnson was in lino gathering slippery elm nnd chittem bark to send homu to his uncle that hns an estate, tlm balance of the crew began to tiro nt thu one deur in sight. FreJ yelled to thorn, 'Dou'tJ shoot, I'm no buck," when the refrain came back, "Well they consider you an old buck, around Marehfield," Tho combiusd forces tired tweuty-eeven shots t thu deer with uo effect, then they hold a council ot war and decided tho failure was da to deftcelve eights on their guns. The (net Mas that there was a difference next' day from the'r own optic lookout.!

Thu following dispatch was s"nt to Cardinal Rampollo nt Homu by Presi dent Roosevelt's order ut 1:16 this af ternoon : "Tho President desires mo to 6xpros the profound fense ot loss tho Christian world sustuine in tho death of His Holi ness.

London, July 20 Tho clnlms of the Catholic Church am so lolly, Its organlxn lion ro peculiar, there being no othur ec clesiastical monarchy In ChlHteudom, and Its history has been so npiondid, that the npprochiug election to its throne ennnot bo otherwise than n subject of thu highest intellectual interest through out tho civilized world. This Is espeo hltv the case nt tho present vacancy for tho p.pnry clearlv stands at tho puling of thu ways, and tho successor of l.eo XIII. will probubly decide whether tho Church shall bo world wide, or !hnll become practlcilly tho Church ol thu l.nlin races alone, race which, If they nru not decaying, aru be ing nu'strlpped in thu great contuse. If hu is a man in whom thu npirtunl Hie i slroug, hu may infiigo thu luviOrto the veins ot the Church, w hiln It hu is n men) diplomatist, or a hunter nttt-r tem poral power, he may extlngulth the rovtireucu ot his olllcu among thu pro gressiva rares. tt ic most improbable, next to im possible, thut a non-Itn'iau Cardinal should bo elected. Not only Is tin1 nujorlty In the conclave competed of Italians lorn, but there, nru gravu rea sons, iilmout overwhelming ronsous, why no ouu not of that nation should Ih elect ed. Thu old reason thnt the Church Is centralized iu Rome, nnd that the Con grcgHtloiiH or Committees which govern it, would fuel themselves out of toucli with a foreign Pope, Is stilt operative, and rather Ntrouxer than weaker because the uuw Dogna bus complied them nil to exalt their chief's spiritual rights. International enmities havo becouiu more bitter; and no German or English mnn could hu elected becaueo French men and Spaniards would belluvu him hostile, whtlo thu choice of n French man wruld roiiso suspicion in all who think iu German or possibly in Magyar.
