the happening is best told in the mothers
own words She said
On the 2Sth of Sept 1S9G while in
theblooTii of health -Beatrice was sudden
ly and severely afflicted with spinal menin
gitis Strong and vigorous before in five
weeks she became feeble and suffered
from a paralytic stroke which twisted her
head back to the side and made it impos
sible for her to move a limb Her speech
however was not affected We called in
our family doctor one of the most experi
enced and successful practitioners in the
city lie considered the case a very grave
one Before long little Beatrice was com
pelled to wear a plaster paris jacket
Prominent physicians were consulted
electric batteries were applied but no ben
efit was noticed until we tried Dr Will
iams Pink Pills for Pale People
Busy in my kitchen one afternoon I
was startled by the cry of Mamma
from little Beatrice who was creeping
toward me L had placed her on an im
provised bed in the parlor comfortably
close to the fireside and given her some
books and playthings She became tired
of waiting for me to come back and made
up her mind to go to me so her story
4My Pink Pills made me walk which she
tells everyone who comes to our house
was then for the first time verified She
has walked ever since She has now taken
about nine boxes of the pills and her pale
and pinched face has been growing rosy
and her limbs gained strength each day

REMEMBRANCE
We never can forget her we would not if
we could
A flower so sv seemed too frail for
earths cc storms
A woman far gentle for human lips
to chide
A mother true forgiving who all lifes
ills withstood
A wife so faithful patient who lived a
life so pure
A sister loved and lovig so kind to one
and all
No wonder why we mourn her none as
us why we weo
The loss that we have suffered how will
our hearts endure V
A friend she was at all times and worthy
of the name
A truer never lived in this cold world of
ours
Her face a benediction shed light wher
eer she went
Through lifes too fitful fevers she always
was the same
And she has gone before us and left us
for a while
Within our hearts her memory forever is
enshrined
Oh happy past Oh happier life in Eden
soon to be
There there thy arms will hold me no
tears but thy sweet smile
Boston Traveler
STOLEN EVIDENCE
EW ever knew how it
was first discovered that
Miss Dinker was a klep
tomaniac but it was a
fact and people made the
best of it Old Miss Dink
er was tolerably well off
or her habit of appropri
ating other peoples prop
erty would have got her
into trouble But Cuunninseed was
used to Miss Dinker When she visited
the village store and put a piece of
tape up her sleeve the watchful shop
man added its price to her bill When
she took her neighbors forks the neigh
bor sent a polite message to Miss Jane
Dinker to have them restored and Miss
Jane who was old Miss Dinkers niece
would find them up chimney or down
cellar and restore them
Old Miss Dinker knew that she was
deserving of blame in thus indulging
her desire for stolen fruit but as she
often remarked when reasoned with
she couldnt help it
She was a generous old lady too
and kindly and if she taught Jane that
man was a deceiver and that spinster
hood was blessed she meant well
Capt Richard Murphy told another
story when his ship lay in port and he
himself rested at a little hotel in Cum
minseed And Jane won over by his
merry voice and jolly- ways forgot her
aunts precepts and one day ran awaj
with him leaving a penitent little note
for her aunt and begging her forgive
ness
The old lady was naturally indig
nant but when three days after the
Captain brought Jane back under his
arms established her in a beautiful lit
tle house which he had purchased and
sent for the old lady to make up
Miss Dinker relented took tea with her
niece and deigned to approve of her
choice and so the village scandal was
silenced for a while and people called
on Mrs Capt Murphy
They lived together for five years in
great contentment and a little boy was
born to them and all went prosperous
ly but at the end of that time the
sword that always hangs by a hair over
the head of a seafaring mans life fell
at last The Captains vessel was a
wreck and the Captain and crew per
ished in midocean and Jane after hop
ing against hope and refusing to be
lieve when no one else doubted and
listening night and day for a step that
came not and could never come accept
ed the truth at last aud put on her
widows cap and took the awful truth
in place of suspense and tried to live
and bear it for her boys sake
Then there came from some far off
place a man who proved himself the
Captains brother and who claimed his
property alleging that Jane Dinker
had never been married to John at all
Jane was furious but she could only
vow that a clergyman of the Episcopal
Church had married her She could
not remember the name of the church
nor of its pastor nor had she what the
brother called er lines The mar
riage certificate as she declared the
Captain always kept among his private
papers and had taken to sea with him
She advertised in a New York paper
for the clergyman who had performed i
the service but no answer came and j
fimilly the law and popular opinion de-
eiared tLU the widow had never been
a wife and she was left poverty-
stricken and helpless and not a friend
in the world but old Miss Dinker She
came out nobly
Alas all the rest of Cumminseed held
a contrary opinion They shuddered
at the thought of having associated
with such a creature and wondered
how she had dared to impose upon
them so They sent her to Coventry
and tabooed her I think some of the
dearest creatures would have tarred
and feathered her if they could Jane
Dinker had the comfortable Yankee I
pride of respectability in its Yankee
sense strong within her soul and this
suiii qiLiLe ui usxieu uei ciie uiu ner
self from human eyes as much as pos
sible and went thankfully home with
old Miss Dinker whose income had
grown smaller in these years and who
really showed great gererosity in tak
ing her disgraced niece to her bosom
And now that she had countenanced
poor Jane and opened her house to her
she also had lost her friends and peo
ple grew hard upon her
Youll tell your aunt Miss Jane that
I shall proceed to law if I lose another
spoon said one angryx matron to
whom Jane nad been forced to speak
When her boy grew older there were
children near by who il he ventured
K
fnto their comDany were dragged away
as though he had the plague And when
Jane would have placed him at the one
good school Auat Dinker having allow
ed the money the Lady who presided
thereoL r gentlr hinted that it would
not dc
And Richard clinging to lief
hand asked as they went home What
is it mamma Then poor Jane wished
that she were dead
01d Mis Dinker called in high dudg
eon upon the schoolmistress and
irrnsiraird in vain The fact that he
stole i spelling book during her bif
sty did not furrhr hr object When
a little boy wa snt for it at dusk Jane
I wished herself dead again If only se
could have had pride in anything or
anyone she thought but life was all
shame to her
Krhits are hard to break sh rd
but Ill try Only yow oughtnt to be
so hard on me when Ive stuck to you
so And then she rvaled a n
which sh hld frv t ie
boy an education Ill pur hm to the
best sool ii New York si
Til keep the story that tney tell 15 - as
it is to myself and Ill prtv his I iIs
regular Taint likely m agoing to
see him grow up without eddlcation
Well make him a clergyman ev a doe
tor Well snap our lingers in the fact
of thee critters Ill take him up my
self tc morrow and he shall come dowr
every Saturday night
I shall miss him so said Jane But
is for his good and thank you aunt
So Jane spent the iiiirht In tears and
in the morning Aunt Dinker went to
the city taking with her little Richard
Jane suffered a great deal that day
and when at night she saw Aunt Dink
er return alone she could not iind voice
to speak to her But the old lacy was
in good spirits She sat down before
the fire with her shawl on and told
Jane how pleased Richard was with the
journey and how Miss Speers had ad
mired him And Jane brought her the
tea and she took it sitting by the fire
but still kept her shawl on and more
over the shawl looked curiouslj thick
and bunchy
Once before had Jane seen the same
thing and it had resulted in the ap
pearance of somebodys work box Her
heart misgave her
Aunty she said in trembling tones
are you cold
Not particularly said Miss Dinker
Then shant I take your shawl
When I ask you to do so
Jane wras silent Old Miss Dinkei
fidgeted Finally Jane burst into re
proaches
Oh aunty couldnt you help disgrac
ing my poor boy to steal in New York
where they have no mercy on you and
at the school where I hoped he could
hold his head as high as any one Oh
aunt aunt
You ought to be ashamed of your
self Jane Ive been a good aunt to
you and as for the school I never
touched a thing I put my hands in
my muff and sat just so and made a
pint of it And its nothing much to
make a fuss over it I took it almost
without thinking It came in so
handy
What is it asked Jane desper
ately
Well Ill tell you said Aunt Dink
er and if they want it they can have
it From the school to the depot there
came tip a rain I had on my best bon
net so I looked about me and there
was a church open and in I popped
Well as I stood there out came a
gentleman that I knowed was the cler
gyman and says he Walk in maam
and wait for the rain to be over
Theres a fire in the vestry And he
left me before the grate in the nicest
little room And I waited until the
streets were dry The sexton came and
talked to me and told how theyd been
a weddiu there and theyd just gone
And somehow when I got into the
street this was under my shawl
Shes committed sacrilege at last
cried Jane Oh dear oh dear
Taint neither cried Aunt Dinker
Its only a shabby old book And as
she spoke she unfolded her shawl and
tossed upon the table a dingy leathern
tome on the covers of which was
marked in black letters
Marriage register of St Graces
Church 1SG0 1S73
Jane seized upon it with a low cry
St Graces Church she said Aunt
aunt that was the name That was
where I was married And her trem
bling fingers turned over the pages and
her eyes sought out the date and sud
denly glittered with joy It is here
she cried here here here and cast
herself down upon the floor and sobbed
as she had never sobbed before for very
thankfulness while Miss Dinker bend
ing over the pgc saw written there
in a plain old fashioned hand
On the 20th of June by me Oliver
Sparkle Captain Richard Murphy to
Jane Dinker spinster of the town of
Cumminseed N J
Witness B Britters Clerk
When Jane Murphy arose from the
floor she was an altered woman Proof
of her matron dignity and of her boys
birthright was in her hands and before
the next sundown all Cumminseed
knew the truth The pastor of St
Graces came from New York at her
summons to swear to his book and his
deceased predecessors signature and
legal proceedings were instituted to re
store the widow to her rights Of
course they were successful
To day no one is more respected In
all Cumminseed than Mrs Captain
Murphy although she has never quite
forgiven her neighbors cruelty And
Aunt Dinker growing quite old and
unable to go abroad indulges her sin
gular propensity by stealing napkins
from the linen press There is good in
all things Jane Murphy often says She
never will deny that since such great
good came to her of old Aunt Dinkers

Millions of Petrified Fish
For a score of years the geologists
have known of the existence of im
mense beds of shale in Wyoming
which occasionally yjelded fine speci
mens of fossil fishes but it is only re
cently says the St fouis Republic
that similar beds hive been discovered
in Colorado These beds of petrified
fish contaiii fig millions upon millions
of individual specimens cover hun
dreds of square miles in the northwest
ern part of the Centennial State They
extend a distance of one hundred
miles in the direction of Green River
and shelve out for one hundred miles
more toward the interior of the State
In some places these beds almost a
solid mass of perfectly fossilized fish
are from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred feet in thichness One of the
greatest puzzles regarding the find is
the fact that they lie about eight thou
sand feet above sea level

which has not before found its way Into

It was simply announced that the
house had been closed by impatient
creditors and as such things frequent
ly occur no particular notice was taken
of the event The people most sur
prised were the guests of the hotel
To them it came with startling and
rather painful abruptness The firt
intimation they had that disaster had
overtaken the management found them
ill prepared for the blow One bright
morning when the hungry ones came
trooping down to breakfast they were
confronted by a placard fastened upon
