I'm rather nfialil that Abbott I-.jm.in

But wherever ho hart caught It ho should

of money and you tan show her In a tent and

Did ever a boy find fortune knocking so
many times on his door at once ? His eyes
tilled with tears nnd he grasped the old
woman's hand and ithankod her with all the
fervor of a warm nature
"I must go nnd sec about getting a tent
at once , " said Brjant.
"Now , il like that , " said the old witch
"Some bojs would have expected me to
furnish tent and all mjself , but I sec that
jou are willing to help yourself. Go to
Lowell Hussell and tell him I sent jou and
ho will lix you out. Here , take the lien
along , but be sure that no one steals her
or she nnd the thief will disappear entlrelj- .
Brjant promised nnd ran off with the
I basket. While ho was waiting for Mrs.
Russell to open the door he lifted the cover
of the basket and looked In. There sat a
quiet looking hen of a bright golden color.
Her comb was as red as blood and she looked
exactly as If laying golden eggs was a good
thing for her health.Which it undoubtedly
was , for think how many years It is Blnco
she was first discovered.
Bryanb told bis errand to Mrs. Russell
and she told him that her husband who
was \ico president of the Bangtown Fair
association had a tent 'that ' was to have
been used by a man with a nvc-hcaded
calf , but the calf had lost four of his heads
In a railroad accident and was now no
better than any calf , so the man didn't
need the tent. And then > Mr. Russell came
in nnd proved to bo kindness Itself.
Next morning the fair opened nnd It was

1 can tell you tint the chief things to ba
rcen there are people People who ba\o
tome afoot and ahorseback , on wheels and
between wheels , and somb would como in
balloons rather than miss coming. There
IH one big tent and a lot of smaller ones ,
and there nro men who sell candy nnd
oysters nnd soda and whips. The whip men
are really worth while. They sell half a
dozen whips , each one worth $1 , and charge
$1 for the lot nnd still make money. Now ,
that ought to make a good problem in
arithmetic. It ono whip Is worth $1 , and n
man sells six f > uch whips for $1 nnd makes
money on the halo , how much docs ho
make ? Do It In long division. Or , mayba
fractions would be better. But I'm sure I
i don't know how the man docs It.
The poultrj" show was n fine ono ; nol
only all the bojs , but the farmers for
miles around had entered birds. But Bry

A hen that lays golden eggs Is worth any

Bryant was kept busy taking In the nick

this , for people up Oakvillo way don't cairj
many thrco hundred bills around loose In
their clothes , a queer thing happened.
Ono of the men who ran a wheel of for
tune the kind where > ou pay 10 cents and
ire sure to get an article worth a tenth ot
a cent no blanks thought thnt a hen who
aid golden eggs laid over nny fortune wheel
n the country , so he told his pal thnt ho
was going to steal It.
He wns standing on the other sldo Of tlif >
hen , nnd whllo the crowd was Intent on the
glistening egg he seized the enchanted fowl
nnd burst through the crowd nnd out ot
he tent as quick as winking. The farmers
followed him , crying ' 'Stop thief , " but they
md not run ten feet when a remarkable
hlng happened.
That man and the ben disappeared as U
they had been swallowed up. There was
no place where the man could have hidden.
Ho had simply vanished because he stole
.he hen.
And neither the hen nor the man has
icon seen from that day to this , although
t was way back In October. The old
witch's prediction had como true. I dare
Eny that she had the hen , but who has the
man I don't know. And I don't care much.
As for Brjant , he sold the egg to a
mnkor in Wnterbury for $400 and put the
money in the savings bank and bo bought
some blooded Wj-nndotte hens with the gntc
money ho took in , and now ho has ono of

The serious Illness of Oencral ThiuMcu *
:1 : Stnnton , the retired pa > master general
of the United States aimy , Is causing much
nnxlcty among his friends In this city and
clflcwhcie. Tor several weeks ( tenor il
Stanto.i has been unable to leave tils home
and ho has recently taken n turn for the
wor e. A complication of diseases Is the
trouble.
Tliaddeus H. Stnnton has been one of
ho most picturesquechiractcrs In llio
nllltary history of this country Of
hrllllng nihenturo ho has had enough to
111 a book , and his life- Ins been ex
ceptionally actl\o ever since ho became
denuded with the at my many jears ago.
While Oencral Stnnton Is a genial spirit
and nn Interesting ciiteitalner , ht his nl-
wajB been rctlcrnt about relating stories
wherein ho appears as hero. Hut some of
ho chaptcis of his career arc of such Im
portance that thpj ha\c been told from
ocean to o-e-in , and while newspapers have
rom tlmo to time published columns about
Jencral Stanton , many of the best Incidents
mvo ne\er found their way Into print.
The title , "Fighting Pajnnstcr , " was
given to General Stanton because ho really
\as a lighting pijmaatcr. Whenever there
vah anj posslbllltj of action General Stan-
on nlwajs Insisted on going to the front ,
mil he picfcired to pay the soldiers on the
battlefield rather than amid the peaceful
surroundings of headquarters
riulil for 1,1 fc.
Ono of the moat thrilling Incidents In the
ctrcer of General Stanton occurred at Hlch-
noiul , Va. , uway back In the 'CO's. The
general traveled from Baltimore to Rlch-
nond with an armed escort , carrying ? . )50-
100 of government money. On arriving in
tlchmond ho deposited the money at army
icadquartcra and songljV lodgings In n hotel
mown as the Pord house. Ho was In his
room Just before supper and , leaving the i
apartment , descended to the dining room. I
leturnlng to his sleeping room he observed
011 a mantel piece the scabbard of a dagger , i
but the weapon was not In its case General - i
eral Stanton felt certain that the scabbird
was not in his room prior to the time ho
went to the dining hall , and ho was puzrled
as to how it came to be inure , but being
sleepy and very much exhausted by hard
work , ho dismissed the thought so far as
possible and tucking his pistol under his ,
illlow , went to bed and was soon asleep. I i
General Stanton's sleeping room was on | 1
the second floor of the hotel and two largo '
windows cpcneU out upon a balcony. The
windows had Inside shutters , which the gen
eral closed. It was about 2 o'clock In the
morning when General Stanton was aroused
by a noise. He looked nt the windows and
saw a man crawling through ono of them.
Instantly it occurred to him that the tres-
passci was In aomo way connected with the
empty scabbard. A knife thrust was mo
mentarily expected by the general. The
lotcl had no gas and a Uillovv candle was
the best light the place afforded. In the
excitement of the moment there was no
opportunity to light the candle. General
Stanton sat up in tbo bed with his revoHor
In his hand. The Intruder stealthily ad-
\anced and despite the inky darkness in the
room the general could observe the outlines
of the figure. Believing his time had come ,
ho opened fire , shooting wildly in ovciy
direction , not knowing how many foes he
had to encounter. There was a tumult of
men's -voices on the balcony just outside
The man at the window hurried out. Gen
eral Stanton advanced , still shooting.
Throwing the shutters moio widely open he
looked out and saw a man prostrate upon
the ground. The others , who were accom
plices , had escaped.
Ki'-lN HlN .Man.
About itho time that General Stanton
looked out of the window there came a
boisterous clamor at his dcor and on open
ing It he was confronted by the proprietor
of the hotel , who was anxious to know what
had happened.
"Thero Is a man outside who needs a
doctor , " said General Stanton. The hotel
man carried the wounded trespasser Into
the house and sent for a doctor , but death
resulted before the arrival of the phjslclan.
General Stanton looked on .vhllo his \ictlm
died. Of course the general was never
called ito account for this killing , because
It was so clearly a case of justifiable action
that no Investigation was deemed necessary.
It subsequently developed that the man
who was killed was one of a band of robbers
who had followed General Stanton from
Baltimore , awaiting an opportunity to rob
him of the government treasure which he
was biipposed to have with him at the
hotel Of his own personal fuuds the gen
eral hud but ft few dollar ! )
A search of the dcnd man's poJkcts re
vealed the dnggrr that fitted the srabbnrd
which General Stnnton found In hl bed
room. Ilow the scabbard came there ho
never knew , but the presumption was that
the robber entered the room whllo the
general was at supper and accidentally
droppr * ! the fvcabbnrd. Tailing to find Gen
eral Ptanton In his room , It Is presumed
the robber went awny to wait until he re
turned.
The foregoing Is only one Incident out of
many thaf might be related of the tjplcal
Amollcan soldier It Is slid of him tint he
made an absolutely spotless record as a
pa\mnster , alvvajs having his accounts bal

Never Rested.
Tireder in the morning than nt night ; back fools as
though it wns going to break ; thoro's a dizzy sensation
about the head and n miserable ) feeling of languor that
makes getting up in the morning a torture rather than a
delight.
What a lot of women there are who fool just that way
women who ought to bo strong and healthy and hap.
py as the day is long who
would bo if it wasn't for
those delicate little organsthe
kidneys.
S Kidneys have such a distress
ing way of getting out of
order , of failing to take the
poisons out of
the blood , and
of leaving us
weak and mis
erable with a
back that aches
i like the tooth
ache and a
head as dull
and heavy as a
lump of lead
When Kidneys
get in that
h ap o they
need help. If
they can't do
the work nature
intended them to do , we've
help them , that's all.
Got to give them
