A LOST LEGEND.
"August
Flower"
This is the query per
What Is petually on your little
boy's lips. And he is
It For? no worse than the big
ger, older, balder-head
ed boys. Life is an interrogation
point. " What is it for?" we con
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc
tory sermon we turn and ask: "What
is August Flower for ?' ' As easily
answered as asked : It is for Dys
pepsia. It is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this ; but this brimful.
We beKeve August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one ot the largest manu
facturing plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. It is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along it
cures Dyspepsia.
G. G. GUEEN, Sole Man'fr.Woodbury.N.J.
St. Wilfrid oacc, aware of lovo crown cold.
And faith bat lukewarm in bis northern fold.
While ev'n tho few who failed not to be shriven
Bought less for pcoco than feared to forfeit
heaven.
Announced for an approaching festival
Tidings of infinite Import to all.
And when tho close packed church expectant
stood,
Down from Its place he threw tho holy rood.
Crying: "My brethren, know that Armageddon
Is fought and lost! Tho saints of God, though
Icil on
By Michael and his angels, wcro o'crthrewn:
And Satan occupies tho heavenly throne.
All Is reversed: His sinners who will dwell
Ucuceforth In heaven, while saints must burn
In hell.
Myself, alasl too zealous have I striven
On tho IaitiVb side no hopo for mo of heaven.
But )ou, my brethren, I have llttlo doubt
May yet dud entrance, if you turn about.
Only bo speedy, for I have euro word
That Judgment day will bo no moro deferred:
And Satan's ho-la are on the rood to bind
Whomever In tho houso of God they Und.
Go, sin whllo there is tlmcl Forsake tho church.
And Icavo mo as your scapegoat In tho lurchl"
All stared astonished; and on many a face.
Smug, smooth and sanctimonious, a grimace
Grew slowly, whilo tho open sinner's laughter
lung loudly from tho rood loft to tho rafter.
Then, swift as ants swarm from their threat-
ened heap,
Or from tho opened pinfold rush tho sheep.
Forth streamed tho congregation, thick and
fast.
Each only fearing to bo found tho last.
Thu church was empty, and St. Wilfrid stood.
Most grimly smiling, by tho fallen rood;
When In a darkened corner ho was waro
Of soma one kneeling, and a sobbing prayer:
"O, dear Lord Jcsul I have followed theo
So long, and thou hast loved me. Let me be
Where thou art. Jesul Rather will I dwell
Than with thy foes in heaven with theo in
belli"
Then cried St, Wilfrid: "Blessed ha thy name.
Woman, that puttest ray weak faith to shamel
I thought but to convict tho careless herd
Of ftilu religion by an empty word.
Uut now of thino example will I mako
A lesson that all sinners' souls shall wake.
AH saints' rekindle; and that word of thino
ho ifvi to look down tho vnlloy, nil
smiling with tho river and frnnlens nnd
olivo orchard, and ceo at tho end n
narrow strip of tho ocean. San Juan
closed ills oy.a Clear and plain was
tho pictitro to liis fading night tonight;
tho sun aa it went down niado flio sea
look like a tongue of (Ire, and it col
ored tho valley pink, and changed tho
iiiounmms iren: pini; to uiue anu sou
purplo.
Tho old man opened ills eyes, and
raising himself on Ills elbow, moro now
to himself than to any ono clw, told
how tho bells calling to matins would
nwnken him, and wiien ho went out to
work tho wholo world seemed full of
pcaco. lint once San Juan shook his
head as ho told ItA-hc had to tako
8omo sheep over tho hills to keep for
tho day, and when ho camo homo that
night tlioro wero six missing. Tho
padres wero much disturbed and very
angry, and they shut him up in tho
mission prison, where you can still see
tho iron bars at tho windows. They
kept him there for ten days, and yet
San Juan could tell nothing of tho
sheep. He confessed to having slept at
noon under a live oak, but tho sheep
were never found, and many weeks of
penance did hardly atono for his great
neglect.
San Juan would like to creep back
to tho old walls oneo moro and kneel
by tho western windows, but lie never
could go, and ho sighed.
It was hard to talk now. Ho almost
whispered as ho told Antonio to bo
good to Isa and tho children and stop
gambling. There were no padres now
to watch him, no mission wliero he
could go and pray, and temptation was
great, but ho would ruin his soul and
kill Isa, and make bad men out of tho
children if ho did not stop going down
to Moreno's. Antonio bowed his head
on his hands and did not speak, San
Juan had talked to him like this be
fore.
Tho old man slowly raised himself,
and beckoning to Isa U) givo him n
blanket, crept through tho narrow
doorway Into tho other room of the
house.
That was nil. Tho next morning they
found him holding tho crucifix in hi
hands, but ho neither spoko nor stirred.
San Juan was dead, and tho wholo
villatro was in mourning. Tho women
Khali to tho world In eolden letters shine."

Addrr rVl-OFKH,
San Juan was 105 years old, and was
held in great 'eneration by all tho
people.
Tho littio straggling Indian settlement
was sixty miles from tho priest, who
could only como to thern onco a year; j
so when any ono was in troublo ho wont ,
to San Juan, who comforted him and
helped him.
Ho had always seemed so strong and
activo until a fow months ago, when ho
began to show signs of falling. Ho did
not go about from houso to houso as
much as usual, and .when tho women
chided him for staying from sight ho
would shako his head and mysteriously
look up at tho sky.
When pressed by tho women, who
could not conceal their anxiety, ho
would tell them that boforo tho apples
wero ripo again in tho cactus hedgo
down by tho old mission ho would go
away from them all novcr to como
back. Then tho women would humor
him and tako him to thoir houses, nnd
Bend for old Mariano, who lived a littio
distonco down tho valley, who mado
tho mcdlcino for tho settlement. Won
derful modlclno it was, out of roots and
herbs and seeds, but it novcr did Siin
Juan any good.
When Isa, Antonio's wifo, saw that
tho old man was indeed getting weaker
slio told him that ho must como to her
houso and live. San Juan shook ills
head and said that ho had a placo on
tho sido of tho hill, wliero tho sun was
always shining; ho could sit in tho door
and watch tho children playing in tho
valley, nnd ho was always tho tlrst ono
to boo tho priest when ho coma riding
over tho hilts. Ho lovod that placo and
wanted to stay thoro.
Hut Isa entreated hitu, and Anally ho
lodged in lior houso ouo night. That
night Antonio stayed at homo with Isa
and tho children, and when San Juan
would again havo gono away Isa begged
hhn to stay longer, bocauso Antonio
was good to lior when ho was in tho
houso. So San Juan, for tho good ho
might do, spent another night in Isa' a
house.
After thoy had eaton thoir supper of
beans Antonio brought in moro man
zonitta roots and piled thorn high, so
that thu Homes leaped and tho lire
crackled and llllod thu houso with light,
Llttlo Pedro elapped his hands and
triod to catch somo of tho queer llgures
that danced upon tho odobo walls.
Isa watched San Juan's face. It was
drawn and cut by deep wrinkles. His
oyo wero small, deep sot and dim.
His (straight, tangled gray hair hung
about his face, and mado ono think of
coarso torn cobwebs hanging from
dirty ceilings in abandoned rooms. Isa
begged San Juan to tako a blanket and
lio down, for ho was tired sho know,
Uut ho only stretched himself out
boforo tho tiro and gazing absently at
tho tlamoa drew Son Juan (Ini'h oldest
sou, who hod boon named for tho old
limn) to his eido.
Thu child bat down on tho earthen
door bpsldu him and listened whllo tlio
aged Son Juan, slowly and avIUi quiv
ering voice, told hhn storied about tho
early days In the valloy.
.
Many miles from Collento stand tho
walls of tho old mission, fast crumbling
into ruin and decoy. In tho niches
where tho crucifix used to rest tho birds
build thoir nosU and tho boos swarm
about tho western windows. In tho
ball which echoed the rolemu chant,
or tho volo&s raited in prayer, there Is
only o silence, unbroken save as o
piece of tho wall crumble and falls to
tho earth. It Is deathly now at thu old
mUilou. Thu wind sighs through tho
dead grosses as tho work of destruction
goes on, giving earth book to earth.
Sou Juan tells tho boy about tho
days when ho was (hero working up
and down tho volley for tho padres,
and going to the rotation at night,
from tho window to Ju low. br room
- ii.
go to Moreno's, but stayed nt homo
witli the women.
For threo days tho dead San Juan
lay wrapped in his blankets outside
Isa's house, and then they buried him
over on tho hill wliero ho had lived
when the beautiful Spanish bayonet
lifted its wln'to head to the sun.
Isa went home, unfastened tho black
shawl that fromod her dark, sad face,
with tho largo eyes, and put it away in
tho box wliero sho kept tho earrings
and tho beads that Antonio had given
her when thoy wero married five years
before. Antonio was good to her
then.
Sho cooked tho supper, and stepped
outsido tho door to call littio San Juan
and Pedro. Sho saw Antonio going
around tho houso to tho corral, and sho
waited patiently for him to como in.
At length sho followed him, and left
tho children eating their supper on tho
bench by tho littio window.
Isa stopped, caught her breath, and
then walked with quick steps toward
tho corral, wliero Antonio was fasten
ing a cord around a sheep's neck.
Too well Isa knew what it all meant,
and sho caught Antonio by tho arm
and begged.
"Oil, not tonight, not torriglitl And
tho last sheep but onol Antonio, sure
ly you will not tako that down to
Moreno's I"
Ho shook her roughly off. "Iiecauso
that old San Juan died in your houso
you aro a coword I Think you I core
for all ho said, who thought himself as
good as tho priest? You women mado
a fool of hhn."
"O, no, Antonio 1" Isa's oyes wero
full of tears. "But see, wait, stay with
mo now. And you will loso all, every
thing at Moreno's, and then you'll come
homo and strike mo nnd cursol"
Sho had put her arms about his neck
and hung thero, looking at hhn with
her sorrowful oyes.
Tho sheep pullod on tho cord and
tried to got away. Antonio drow it
nearer, and with his other hand pushed
Isa from him. She staggered back
ward, her boro nnklo struck against a
gnarlod root of wood, and sho foil with
a cry of pain Into tho roots piled high
agidust tho houso.
Antonio hurried away down tho patli
bordered with sago brush; tho horned
toads ran before him and tho lizards
dartod across tho sand. Tho sun had
Just gono down behind tho mountains,
and there was a soft amethyst tint to
sky and hills and valloy, whllo tho air
was freighted with tho fresh Biuoll of
tho sago and tho delicate odor of tiny
flowers that blossomed In tho sand.
Isa slowly crawled into tho houso.
Tho children had fallen asleep on tho
Uoor by tho bench, Sho covered thom
with a blanket, tuid then went Into tho
small, low room where old Son Juan
had died.
Throwing herself down lu tho corner
sho loy there, hoping that Antonio
might return, and yet knowing in her
heart that sho would not see him again
for two days. She did not sloop, but
tossed and prayed until day began to
break, and then her baby was born.
Tho mother colled llttlo Son Juan,
and told hhn to crba tho rood and beg
Rica to oomo to her, lliea was Isa's
cousin, and bho followed tho boy to
where tho baby girl was crying.
Isa smiled upon tho child, and then
turned her face to the wall and prayed
that Antonio mjght come home and bo i
gwod. Perhaps lie would be gooa to
tin littio mrl Flo was annry when Pe-
i dra was born, niid went away and staid
a week, but now Isa was sure lie woul I
bo happy when thoy told hhn that tho
child was a beautiful girl. . If some one
would only find him and tell him. slio
said.
Uiea went to the door, but Isa colled
her back. "Not Jo?e," she whUpered.
Ricft uiidetrfood and tliot!; her head;
but when h!ip stepped into the road
and looked up and down she only saw
Jose, old San Juan's grandson, who
was carrying his olio down to the river
bed for water.
Ilica Jiesit-ited, looked behind her,
then silently stepped to his hide and
touched his arm. Ho turned, and In
stinctively glanced toward Isa's house
Ricadrow her shawl closer over her head.
"Co get Antonio," sho said, "Isa's
baby is a girl." Jomj looked into tho
face of the woman before him, bowed
his head ntid btarted off down the path
which Antonio hod taken tho night bo
foro with the sheep.
As ho ncarcd Moreno's he heard
loud talking and cursing; now he
heard something fall heavily against
the wall ; then tho door burst open and
four men rushed out dragging tho fifth
by the throat. They kick hitu out into
tho road and leave him there then
turn again to their table.
Jose knows that the figure in the
road is Antonio. This thing has hap
pened often, and it is no use now try
ing to get him home. Hut there is Kt
waiting with her baby. Poor Isa I Joe
loved Isa. Why did she marry that
tiling lying therein the sand, who only
brought her suffering?
Jose stood a moment thinking, then
went up to Antonio and touched him.
The drunken man stirred nnd groaned
with pain. Jose lifted him, but An
tonio fell back without speakiug. An
Instant, then raising himself with Jose's
help lie staggered to his feet and turned
toward Moreno's door.
Joso held him. "Not there, you fool I
They'll kill you 1 Go home I"
But Antonio, afire with thirst and
wild with anger, tottered back into tho
low, close room full of men, and reel
ing toward tho tablo drow from his
belt a club and struck tho man who
bad won his sheep.
A murmur, a hiss, a volley of curses,
and then thoy flew at Antonio, pound
ing him with benches, wood, anything
thoy could lift.
Jose struggled to drag Antonio out.
A club struck his wrist, ho writhed witli
pain, loosened his hold, and in an in
stant Antonio lay bleeding and gasping
on tho floor. They kicked lum out
again, but when Joso turned him over
lie had stopped gasping.
Marie, Isa's baby, was eight months
old, and it was time for the priest to
coino again.
Ibo had washed tho blankets and
built a bed in tho corner of tho small
room where tho priest was to stay.
Great strings of bright pepper hung on
the south wall of her house, making a
deep fringo of scarlet and green on tho
gray adobe. The pepper treo in front
of the door, witli its long, will-wlike
brandies, was gay with its white blos
soms and its long stems heavy with red
berries. The ground around tho houso
was sweet and clean as tho lloor with
in. Abovo tho rough fireplace hung a
broken cruoilix. Antonio had stepped
on it onco when ho was angry.
Ah, Antonio! Isa shivered when sho
thought of him and covered her face.
Sho was glad that sho heard just now
tho sound of happy voices and children
laughing and men talking, for she knew
that tho priest had readied tho village.
Sho brought hhn proudly into her
houso; ho looked at Mario and called
her a beautiful baby, and said sho was
liko her mother. Isa smiled and was
very happy. Itica lived witli her now,
and together they cooked tho supper of
beans nnd rabbit and cakes.
Tho priest had been in tho village for
six days, going from houso to house and
blessing tho people and bringing them
peace. Tho men had promised to stop
gambling, nnd now tilts morning lie
would baptize tho children, and tomor
row ho would go away for another year.
Isa had put a scarlet skirt on Marie,
and pinned around lier waist, eloso up
to lior arms, a brown band.
She was standing in her door hold
ing lior child, hugged to herself, witli a
corner of her own bhawl thrown over
tho bobys head. Sho was waiting for
Riea, for tho priest had gono on with
S'Ui Juan and Pedro to tho placo where
ho was to administer tho sacrament.
It was a largo, open square. The
men had cleared away tho bushes and
built walls of stiuks and boughs, mid
made tho roof of brandies of tho live
oak.
"Isot" Tho woman started, for it
was Joso, who camo quietly up behind
her and spoko to her. Sho had only
seen him threo times blnco that awful
day when Antonio was killed, and each
tiinu ho had brought her roots to burn.
"Hal tho priest goes away tomor
row." Isa's oyes fell, Sho only held
Mario closer to her and answored noth
ing, Joso's brown foot traced a figure
In tho sand. Ho looked up and then
held out his arms for tho baby.
"I will bo good to you, Isa," ho sold.
Sho turned its though shu would go
Into the houso, hesitated, steppod back
again nnd out into the sunshine Shu
laughed as sho placod Mario in Joso's
arms. M. Y. II. hi Washington Post.

The Tea Plant.
The tea plant is of a genus of shrubs
of tho natural order Termstroemiaceoa,
closely allied to tho tribe camellia.
The seeds are sown soon after they
ripen in holes four or live inches deep
and threo to four feet apart. As tho
rains como on it grows rapidly, soon
forming largo clusters, which require
little care other than on occasional
weeding. Tho leaves of the shrubs aro
not gathered for "tea" until of ter the
end of the third year from tho timo
when tho seed was planted. Each
shrub is good for from seven to ten
years, when it is cut down and young
and healthy shoots allowed to rise. In
spring tlio entire plant is covered witli
bloom, oven the leaf itself, taking on
the appearance of a bios? m.
Gathering tho crop is a very par
ticular job, each leaf being separately
removed from tho shoot. Threo crops
are usually taken in a year March,
May and August the exact period
varying according to tlio climate
of the different districts in which it
grows. After the leaves have been
gathered they are first dried in the sun
and then thrown into small furnaces
furnished with sheet iron pans, in
which thoy are stirred until all mois
ture has been eliminated. Tho best
sorts aro put up choicely, while tho

Arranging a Church Sociable.
Do not let a few do all tho work;
divide the labor and tho responsibility.
Let those who are activo in other de
partments of church work find the
evening restful. Givo tlio Sunday
school superintendent an easy chair
and tho sexton an extra plato of ice
cream. Each woman in tho congrega
tion should feel that it is her duty to
increaso the interest in the success of
tlio evening. Sho should invite a shy
neighbor, urgo a sad ono or accompany
a lonely one to the sociable and intro
duce her to at least ono friendly soul.
I speak of women especially because
theirs seems to bo tho privilege of
guiding and controlling social life gen
erally. Those who tako tho placo of hosts
for tlio ovening may find uso for all the
tact and ingenuity they havo. A word
here, a cordial handshake there, an
introduction which promises a congenial
acquaintance, a skillfully managed in
terruption when a tete-a-teto Is too pro
longedit is not a place for getting
into a cozy corner with your particular
friend, all cliques should bo broken up
these aro what makes a hostess in her
own parlor a success, and these will
mako tho leaders in church society suc
cessful. Mrs. Lyman Abbott in Ladies'
Home Journal.
Useful Thl lien About the Home.
Tho best thing in tills world is to
know how to do things and bo willing
to mako one's knowledge available. A
sholf in tho corner of a rather bare bed
room destitute of a wardrobe is the dif
ference between comfort and discom
fort. If It is neatly made, stained and
put up, nnd a pretty curtain, no mat
ter how cheap, hung in front of it, it is
a .tiling of beauty as woll as comfort.
Tlio power to shape, smooth and put
up a shelf Is of inestimable value in a
home. Two rounded shclvos, ono
large, fitted and clamped, tho other
small and set above it, for an inkstand,
makes a capital writing desk.
It is becoming tlio fashion now to
uso tlio corners for cupboards, as in the
old times, and n handy boy or man or
girl Who knows the uso of tools can add
Immeasurably to tho quaint appearance
and Individuality of tlio home by add
ing these corner closets and cupboards;
by putting up brass hooks wliero need
ed; by acquiring a bracket or a pic
ture; aiding in the acquisition of cur
tains, or making tlio cushion for a chair
or a lounge. Cor. Homemaker.
Geo. Ii Good, the druggist, takes
especial pleasure in supplying h's
customers with the best medlciuea
obtainable. Among the many ik
wllent preparations ou his shelves
mny be mentioned Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, a favorlto during
the winter tuontliB on account of
its ureat success in the cure of colds.
There is noth'ngthit will loosen a
severe cold so quickly, or so prompt.
