Ill From Pottstown, Pa., coini'B tho re port of "an astonishing oxhihition of girlish charms which fnrniflhed a theme for an innnoiiHo lot of gossip. A camp of tho l. O. S. of A. gave a henetlt en tertainment, tho chief feature of which accordion to tho ollieial program, wuh a 'nightgown drill.' ThiH drill wan just what tho name implied. Tho lightH in tho room woro slightly lowored, to givo tho Hceno a more realiHtic elTect. Tho uudieuco Bat hrcnthlcsn for a iniuuto or two, and then, from tho wingH cf. tho Btage, emerged a vision of maiden loveli ness. A pretty girl, of interesting years, walked slowly heforo tho foot lights. Her oidy robe, so far as tho charmed spectators could Bee, was a whito Mowing gown of the simplest make. Tho soft material clung nicely to tho prettily rounded shoulders. Those delicate curves of tho young woman's physique seemed all tho more entrancing beneath this bewitching garl). Her hair fell Iooho upon her shoulders. Her snow-whito feet and ankles twinkled beneath tho tllmy lace at tho bottom of the gown. Hardly had tho audience recovered its breath before another girl, dressed just as tho first, appeared. Then another and another, until seventeen bewitching girls, witli loose thing hair and twinkling feet, were upon tho stage. Each young lady carried a lighted candle. They marched back and forth across tho stage and performed various evolutions. Thoy refused to respond to an encore. With many clergymen, public speakers, singers, and actors, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is tho favorite remedy for hoarseness and all atTections of the vocal organs, throat, and lungs. Its anodyne and expectorant elTectH aro promptly realized. Genuine Coal Creek Rock Springs coal at tho Canyon and Whitebreast, Hotaling & Son cater to tho best fam ily trade in GROCERIES ami MKATS.

One of tho thst questions they ask an Ameri can either at homo or aboard is about Niagara, but to many of us Niagara Falls is too near. Were it on tho other side of tho world, thousands of A meiican globe tiotteis would hasten theie, who pass it by now because thoy can go thoro any time. The Michigan Central has made it, perhaps, too easy of access, for its through trains fiom Chicago to New York and Boston run diiectly hy and in full view of the great cataiact, and thoso passing hy daylight Btop live minutes for passengers to vlow tho Falls. Tho wise traveller however will stop over there as long as Ids time will per mit to view tho beauties and tho gran deur of tho falls under dilTcicnt aspects and fiom ditioront points of viow. The longer he stops tho moio ho will tlnd to repay him for whatever expenditure of time and money ho incurs. They were talking on tho rear platform of the car, when one suddenly turned to the other with: "Woro you over in California?" "Oh, yes." "Great country, Isn't It?" "Lot me sell you some property there." "I was about to propoto tho same thing to you. Where Is your property?" "About fourteen miles from Uliuilt vlllo." "Minn is just fourteen. What did yon pay?" "About $S(X) per acre." "So did 1. Did you buy for an orango grove?" "Voh." "So did I. Any hill on your land?" "Vch- all hill." "So is mine. You paid 800 per acre, and ou'll take about $2T?" "Yes-W0." "So will I. Ileautiful climate, isn't it?" "Perfectly lovely." "Then I can't sell you?" "Not today. Never told any one you got left, did you?" "Never." "Nor 1, either. Always claim to have made $20,000 on my deal. Good day." "Good day." Luxury of Trine I. "Hello, Jack! .iiisteomo down town?" "No; why?" "lieenuso you look so fresh and trim as though just out of a bandbox." "Well, that is natural enough, wlion you consider that, instead of just com ing down town, I havo just got into town after a trip east." "Hut that generally uses a man up, and gives him that tired feeling, what with cramped quartern and jarring and worrying him almost to death." "I know that is sometimes tho case. Hut frequently it depends upon what road you ride over. There aro roads and roads. I mado my journey by tho Michigan Central, and thoy havo such perfection in appliances for comfort, such discipline among tho employes, that tho annoyances aro small indeed, and tlie couuort equal to that in ones own home, unless it is an exceptionally luxurious and well-appointed one. Try tho Michigan Central, 'the Niagara Fidls Routo,' next time you wish to go east. You'll tlnd it so." Arkunsaw Traveller. Moving .Smith.

J, FrnuclH Payne, a smooth shaven, dark-complexioned joung man, very nattily attired in a blue cheviot suit, left the Union Paeillc ticket olllce on Broadway, Oakland, Cal., just after dark one day ret cull) and walking away down to the railroad yards steal thlly hoarded a fieight train which forty lnlnuteH later started for Sacra mento. Ho walked down to tho yards hecauso ho couldn't ride. Ho was pos sessed of only 1 cent, and on that he and a companion mimed Sydney had lived seventy-eight days and travelled .'1.8(H) miles, and on the same cent he is com pelled to live twenty two dajs more and to travel 2.21X1 miles. Payne is a Chicago newspaper man who in the interest of a Chicago journal and for u wager of85,(HX) is striving to travel (1,01X1 miles in 1(H) das on a capital of one cent. Just seventy-nine days ago he and Sydney left Chicago. Tlie conditions of the wager were that the combined capital for the trip should not he more than 1 cent; that they could not travel on tickets or passes and that they should stop one day in certain large cities. Payne still htm the 1 cent piece that they started with, hut it is now polished to a bright golden hue from contact with his pocket. Hut his companion, Sydney, iH not with him. Thoy alighted from a Hying freight at Los Angeles, and in the confusion incident to an accelerated roll down an embankment ind their subsequent landing in a ditch, Sydney broke his leg and Is now living with some degree of comfort, notwlth standing his broken limb. The journey of the two young men to the coast has not been such a harsh one as might he imagined. Judging from the neatness of Mr. Payno'H rai ment and the absence of grime from his hands and face, ho has not been obliged to rido very far on hreako-beams or conceal himself under the seats of pas senger coaches or do any of the things that tramps and professional "hobos" are supposed to do. Hut ho doesn't care to tell just how he manages to get along. Mr. Payne expects to write a good deal about his trip, and ho does not want to havo his material made stale by premature publication. He admitH that his journey bo far, except for the accident to companion, was rather enjoyable. Hi. iys he has had plenty to eat, but ho will not tell how he manages to persuade people to feed him, and to feed him well, too, or how ho induces conductors to let him ride on their trains just as though ho had a ticket. Ho hinted that ho had some mysteri ous scheme by which tho proprietors of hotels were to he advertised, and he said that they were all more than anxi ous to feed and shelter him in return for the benelltfl they will derive. Aftor leaving Chicago they proceeded to New Orleans by means of freight trains and obliging train hands. They were there honored by the famous Olympic Club, which ten.iered them a banquet. At this banquet they met Vice-President Tliorne of the Texas and Pacific Railway, the young mail who rumor says is going to marry Miss Helen Gould. Ho offered them passes over his lines, which they were com pelled to refuse, but he told them they would havo no trouble in getting over the road, and strangely enough they did have no trouble. From Now Orleans thoy went to tho City of Mexico by way of Laredo and thence to Los Angeles by way of El Paso. Down in Mexico it was rather moro difficult. Payne does not under stand much Spanish and he found it rather hard work sometimes to make the people undeistand that ho wanted to eat. That is, it was no great task to let them know that he was hungry, hut they could not comprehend from his signs and imperfect talk why they should feed him. Pay no lost six days in caring for his unfortunate companion. Ho jot has twenty one days left and in that time lie must travel from Sacramonto to Ogden, to Salt Lake, to Denver, to KynsasCity, to St. Louis and thence home to Chicago. Hut at Salt Lake, Omaha and Denver he must Btop ono day, according to the terms of the wager. Payne is allowed sixty eight pounds of baggage, which is forwarded for him from city to town and vice versa by Wells, Fargo it Co., and this baggage has enabled him to keep supplied with clean linen and starched shirts and collars. Ho expresses himself as being fully confident of reaching the point ho started from within the stipulated time. A llllltle I'or Illood, Is what Hood's Saisaparilla vigorously fights, and it is ulways victorious in ex pelling all the foul taints and giving the vital fluid the quality and quantity of perfect health.
