AS IT GOES.
The greatest monarch of the wood
Born day hil fallen low.
And spread its dust tpon the ground -
Whence newer monarch crow.
tTt" sweetest son that e'er was sun
, No one remembers now
All withered like the laurels whleh
Adorned Its writer's brow.
The rrandeet mortal of the earth
Shall lie as low as these.
Forgotten as the rain drop In
The vastness of the seas;
For this Is earth. Till heaven's reached,
Forgotten and unknown,
Man dies remembered but the length
Of his own dying groan.

JURITHH'S
2 GIFT.
O
O
00O0O00OOOOOO
By Sarah Bell Hackley.
We were all eager to see the present
Aunt Juritha (pronounced with a long
i) would give to our bonny bride not
that we expected a princely gift, for
aunt, father's oldest 6ister, was not im
mensely wealthy but she had what
most people were pleased to call pecu
liarly sensible notions; so when the day
before the wedding her black servant
drove up to the back door and with the
aid of our man set in the shadow of the
crimson rambler that glorified our back
porch an enormous pine box addressed
In aunt's prim, regular writing to "Miss
Juritha Jasper Castleton," we could
hardly wait to open it.
Closely packed with excelsior were a
number of thick brown paper-covered
parcels, a few of which were very large.
On top of all lay a letter.
"Dear Niece and Namesake Juritha,"
it read, "in making my selection of a
present I have taken into consideration
two facts. First, that your husband-to-be,
though 'a rising lawyer in a
stirring country town has not yet risen
high enough to enable his wife to keep a
servant; second, that you have been
employed as teacher in a high school
since your graduation three years ago, a
condition not conducive to the acquisi
tion of much kitchen knowledge.
"Your kitchen will be your workshop
for a time at least, and my present shall
be something to make work easier in
that shop. My first intention was to
buy you a kitchen stove with the twenty-five
dollars I felt I could put into a
gift, but after mature reflection, I con
cluded that your husband would pur
chase what you deem the essentials, and
It would be better out of my age and ex
perience to select and supply you with
some things that a young housekeeper
might not think of classing among the
absolute necessaries, or might through
Inexperience forget to purchase until
the money saved for household furnish
ings was gone.
"I trust, niece, that you will be sensi
ble enough to feel no mortification in
placing my present beside your more
rsthetic gifts, since it is my wish that it
be displayed.
"Affectionately, your aunt,
"Juritha Jasper Castleton."
Wonderingly we unwrapped the par
cels and read the words of advice or ex
planation written on the cards tied with
narrow white satin ribbons to each arti
cle. A plain little octagon walnut-cased
clock with a hook for hanging on the
wall, bore a card which said, "Punctu
ality is the politeness of kings, and of
cooks. This timekeper, niece, will help
you to get the rising young lawyer's
meals on time, and thereby aid mate
rially in keeping peace in the family."
A hand-woven bushel basket was la
beled, "For chips and kindling," and
two smaller baskets, "Useful receptacles
in the kitchen." A card tied to a hearth
broom and a curved-back stove brush
read, "When ashes settle on the baking-top
of your stove and biscuits re
fuse to brown, use the broom; when
rust crawls over its sides, use polish and
the brush."
A slate with a pencil tied to it had
written on its face, "Hang this on the
kitchen wall, my dear, and when a
needed purchase occurs to you, write it
down and copy when you start to mar
ket. It will save forgetting and inci
dentally help keep the family life
smooth."
The words on the placard on the
mighty and sharp shears were, "You
will find numberless uses for these in
the kitchen, niece. Use them instead of
a knife in dressing a fowl, for they will
cut bones like a knife will butter, and
you will escape cut fingers."
"Keep the salt dry," spoke from the
hard wood salt-box, and "Keep your
sugar from ants" from the polished
sugar cabinet.
A nasteboard box held a polished
hard wood comb case, two wire combs
and a walnut-framed mirror, with wire
ready for hanging, and the card tucked
In the mirror frame said, "My dear,
when the door bell rings and finds you
In the kitchen, these articles will be
useful, in that they will tell you wheth
er there is flour on your cheeks, and
enable you to straighten your hair be
trtrn facinff VOUr ITUest."
There were two lamps and a lantern
In tfci. trrext box. One of the lamps
was a flat-bottomed glass lamp with
the bowl inclosed in tin and with a tin
handle and reflector. The other lamp
wis of the light-spreading kind that
Hans from their ceilings, and
The card attached to its tin shade said,
There cannot be too much light in
the kitchen; suspend this so that its
rays will fall most directly on your
In a satin-lined box of their own lay
a Christy set a bread-knife, a cake
Ll7 narer. "These are things I
have found it impossible to keep house
without," ran the aunt s comment, and,
niece, in addition to using the large
knife for hot or cold bread, you may
on. a iidiu ov a ocei roast, even mougn
warm, with it with expedition, or you
may carve a fowl more advantageously
with it than with a carving-knife."
A sharp twenty-inch , butcher's saw
and a small butcher's cleaver were tied
together and on the beribboned card
this message was traced, "When I was
young, the only butcher's cleaver I
knew was that mentioned in "Dixie"
that I used to sing
Ol missus marry Will D. Weaber:
His face was sharp like a butcher's
clfaber,
But dat did not seem to greab 'er.'
liut now I am old I realize its worth
in the kitchen. When there are ham
bones and spare ribs to get in two in
some way you will realize the worth of
the saw."
A tidy little household scale with a
tin scoop and a brass dial that would
weigh an ounce of soda and twenty
pounds of sugar equally well, and a
wooden peck measure, a pint and a
quart measure of tin, were placarded
thus, "These, niece, will save you guess
work in cooking and preserving and
will defend you from the 'false balance
that is an abomination.' "
"That you may be' relieved of the in
convenience of washing your one cook
spoon every time you mix another food,
I 'send yon six, and that you may keep
them in place I send a half-dozen iron
hooks for your kitchen wall," was
auht:s message with the large long-
handled iron spoons.
A husband's love may ward it oil
for a while, but. my dear Juritha, you'll
come to driving nails and tacks and
turning screws sooner or later, and here
are your tools," was the prophetic writ
ing on the hatchet and screw-driver.
The card on the heavy cotton um
brella said, "Niece, keep your gold
handled umbrella upstairs with your
best dress, but keep this in plain view
in the kitchen it will gladden your
heart on a rainy day."
The oaken stool twenty-four inches
high, like those used in dry goods stores,
had written on it, "Rest will help to
keep the roses in your cheeks, dear
niece. Never stand at any work when
you can sit as well. Whether paring
apples, preparing vegetables or mixing
cake at the kitchen table, be seated on
this stool."
Down in the bottom of the great box
were an ice-cream freezer of the latest
and most approved pattern, a tinned ice
shredder, a butter-mold, a glass dairy
thermometer, a kitchen sandstone for
sharpening knives, a pot chain, dish
cloth, a can-opener, a steak-pounder, a
mouse trap, a wire soap bracket and a
tiny wire soap shaker for saving bits
of soap.
Last of all there was a thick book, a
manuscript cook book, full of all man
ner of recipes and sage advice. in the
realm of housekeeping and cookery.
The dear old woman must have spent
days in making it, and she had written
on the flyleaf, "Herein are written the
tested recipes of a lifetime. Follow
them in detail as I have written them,
Juritha, and through the stomach bring
delight to the heart of the husband.
Within the leaves of a copy of a
household magazine was a gilt-edged
card which said, "I have found a good
table magazine a household necessity.
You will receive this one one year as
part of my gift."
Rita (we softened our girl's some
what harsh-sounding name thus) was
as happy as one of the birds in the
rosevine over aunt's gift, and gave it
the place of honor an entire corner
in the room in which the presents were
displayed. Of all her beautiful gifts,
none attracted so much attention as
aunt's homely one, which proved as in
teresting to the guests as it afterward
proved useful to the bride. Farmers'

Dead Johnny' Sister After All II U
Christ mas Presents.
Missionaries to far off lands, and
especially those who have labored
among people whose principal article
of diet is rice, are apt to refer to
their lukewarm converts as "rice
Christians," because the converts so
termed care much more for the mater
ial than the spiritual food that the
missionaries dispense. Something of
the same spirit animates Christians,
young and old, in this corner of the
world, particularly at holiday time,
and among the younger element when
Christmas trees and gifts are in or
der. The story told recently by a Sun
day svhool teacher is an illustration.
"A couple of weeks before Christmas
one of the small boys of this teacher's
class contracted pneumonia and died.
He was much beloved, and his death
was felt by his classmates and the
workers in the school. His name was
on the list for a handsome gift at
Christmas, and the superintendent of
the school decided that it would be
a graceful thing, and the boy's family
would doubtless appreciate the act,
if the gift set apart for the boy were
Bent to his home, to be given to a
younger brother or disposed of as his
parents thought fit. When the gift
distribution was In progress, a sister
of the little fellow, also an attendant
at the school, was asked to take the
gift home. She received It in silence,
and stood around with an expectant
air. At last the teacher remarked:
"What Is It you are waiting for, Lucy?
You have received your gifts and
Johnny's also." "Yes'm, I know, but
doesn't Johnny get a box of candy,
too?" Johnny's sister got the candy.

GEN. TORRES MAY NOT HANG.
A Military Commission Found II Ira
tinllty of Ordering Assassination of
Corporal Flelduer, bat Gen. Chaffee
Disapproves of the Sentence.
Manila, Dec. 10. Native scouts from
Dengabon, province of Neuva Ecija,
have killed the American negro, David
Fagin, a deserter from the Twenty
fourth (colored) infantry, who for
more than two years has been leading
Filipinos against the American troops.
The native scouts decapitated their
prisoner. The man's head, however,
was recognized as that of Fagin. They
also secured his commission In the In
surgent army. Fagin had on one of
his fingers the class ring of Lieutenant
Frederick W. Altstaetter of the en
gineers, who was captured by Filipinos
supposedly under the command of
Fagin himself, Oct. 28, 1900. Fagin
had been reported killed on several
occasions. The authorities are satis
fied that former statements of his
death were erroneous, and that he has
now been killed.
A military commission has sentenced
the Filipino General Isidore Torres to
be hanged, after finding him guilty of
ordering the assassination of Corpor
al Ffeldner of the Twelfth infantry at
Malolos, province of Bulacan, last Oc
tober. The sentence of the commis
sion has been disapproved by General
Chaffee, who finds that the commission
had reasonable grounds to doubt
whether General Torres personally or
dered the assassination of the Ameri
can soldier. General Chaffee thinks
that the high rank held by Torres In
the Insurgent army would have been
sufficient to prevent such unniilitary
action on his part.

attorneys allege that their client, once
having landed, is beyond the Jurisdic

of customs for the Philippines, who
has been trying to effect Patterson's
expulsion.
Cock ran for Free Boers.
Chicago, Dec. 10. Before nearly 4,000
people W. Bourke Cockran, at the
Auditorium last night, declared that
independence for the Boers surely was
coming; but that peace might be re
stored and the suffering In the concen
tration camps ended, all the eloquence
of the orator was directed to a plea
for Intervention by the United States.
He asserted that the peace of America,
the future of the Monroe doctrine and
the constitution of England were en
dangered by the prolongation of the
struggle. "Let the President of the
United States but utter the word," de
clared the speaker, "and the war will
end on the day his action Is taken."
In response to his appeal for funds to
aid the Boer prisoners in the South
African military camps, cash and
pledges aggregating $6,000 were se
cured. Justice Kills Clergyman.

standing in Bradford's doorway and
fired two shots, both taking effect in
the head. There were no witnesses to
the tragedy. The Rev. Bradford had
been returned here as the Methodist
minister for another year. Coffman
was once a member of the Rev. Mr.
Bradford's church, but had been ex
pelled. 13 Lives Lost on Great Lakes.

Beth Union aad Confederate Veterans
to Be Cared For.
The Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers at Johnson City, Tenn., which
Is now being built, will, when com
pleted, be one of the most notable
groups of buildings in that state. Aside
from Its architectural value, the home
will be remarkable because of the
broad and liberal plan on which It will
be conducted. There' are homes and
soldiers' retreats in all parts of the
United States, but they are exclusively
either for union or for confederate
veterans. This one will be, accord
ing to the plans which have been
adopted "a shelter for 2,500 men who
volunteered in the union or confeder
ate service In the civil war and in the
war with Spain."
The home will comprise thirty-five
buildings. Congress appropriated
$1,000,000 toward the project, and the,
home is to be completed In three
years. The site comprises a tract of
land a mile and three-quarters long
and three-quarters of a mile wide, situ
ated in the heart of the Tennessee
mountains. The place is so delight
fully situated that it is believed it
will eventually become a popular
health resort.
Among the larger buildings of the
group will be a memorial hall, mess
hall and chapel, and a canteen similar
to those which were maintained at
army posts many years ago will be
one of the features. The grounds will
be laid out in parks, groves and drive
ways, and the landscape features will
add to the picturesque appearance of
the home. Gen. John T. Richards, of
Maine, has been appointed superin
tendent of construction.
