A-LOST BOY'S ADVENTURES
Home Again After Seventeen Years'
Wanderings A Happy TIianksijiY-
ing Bay in an Iowa Farm-
Honse.
From tho Des Moines (Iowa) Register.
'iher& was one happy household, at
least, iu Polk County on Thanksgiv
ing Day. There was rejoicing, and
cause for rejoicing, in tho home of
John Cressout, of Washington Town
ship, over the return of a son, whom
they had not seen or heard from for
seventeen years.
In J8G0, Mr. -John Cressout, an
humble tiller of thesoil iu (he Buck
eye State, resolved to remove to the
rioh prairies of Towa with a hope of
bettering his condition. His family
consisted of his wife and two chil
drena boy of thirteen and a girl of
ten. His health and that of his family
was good, and he thought by Eettliug
upon a new farm upon the fertile prai
ries of Iowa, be might secure a com
petence for himself and them. Ac
cordingly he sold his farm in Ohio,
and with his family took up his wea
Ty journey overland toward the set
ting sun.
In those days the railroad facilities
were not as abundant as at the pres
ent, and the only direotand passable
route laid through the oity of Chicago.
Whon he arrived at Chicago he tar
ried a few days in order to confer with
some land owners In referenoa to the
purchase of a farm. During their
stay in the city, Robert, his sou, avail
ed himself of the opportunity to see
the sights, and accompanied his fath
er in his walks about town. One day,
while his father was busily engaged
in conversation with a land-broker,
Robert stepped out, and, seeing a
large crowd down the street, thought
he would go and find out what was
the matter. When he reached the
mob and found that it was only a
street auction, he determined to go
farther on, and pursued his walk
down the street until he reached the
wharf, where theshipsand steamboats
were lying by the hundreds. Having
never seen a steamboat before, he was
naturally lost in wonder. Seeing a
great crown entering, one of the large
steamboats, he thought he would go
on also, and look around, as he sup
posed the crowd were doing. So he
went abroad and wandered down into
the cabin, and finally down into the
hold where the great engines were
situated. While engaged in viewing
the wonders about him the Bteamer
loosed her cables, and started on her
journey over the lake. He suddenly
became aware of the fact that the
steamer was moving, and hastened
on deck but too late. The vessel was
far out in the lake, and, when he
reached the upper deck, the City of
Chioago, that held all that was dear
on earth to him, was only a speck in
tho distance. He told his story to the
Captain, but in vain. The Captain
thought he was only a vagabond who
was endeavoring to steal his passage
over the lake, and would not listen to
him, but told him if he did not keep
quiet he wouid deliver him up to the
officers of the law upon their arrival
at Grand Haven, and have him put
in prison. So Robert was compelled
to dry his tears and conceal his emo
tion, knowing that every revolution
of the great paddle-wheels of the
steamer bore him farther away from
his parents and sister.
When his father found his boy was
lost he secured tho aid of several de
tectives, and made a thorough search
of the city to find him, but in vain.
After a fruitless searoh of over a week
he was compelled to give his son up
88 lost, and pursue his journeying
toward Iowa. The mother's grief
knew no bounds. She wept continu
ally, and, like Rachel of old, refused
be comforted. Her boy her only
son, the pride of ho- heart was lost
and only God knew what his fate
may have been. So, with a broken
heart and anxious mind, she took up
her journey with her husband and
daughter to their new home in Iowa.
They reaohed this State in the fall of
1860, and settled on a new farm of 160,
acres, in Washington Townsbip.Polk
county. Fortune favored them, and
Mr. CresEout made money very fast.
He was a prudent, economical man,
and his wife was the best of wives
In every sense a helpmeet. His lauds
grew broader, his herds multiplied,
and in a few years he gained a hand
some competence. But the loss of
his son was the one great shadow of
his life, as well as that of his wife.
Around their cheerful fireside
the sudject would be related, and the
tears of sorrow would fall like summer
rain whenever 1-toDert's name was
mentioned.
But wbafr of Robert ? When he
found himself in Grand Haven, Mich.,
the destination of tho- steamer, he
knew not what to do. He had no
money with which to telegraph to his
friends, and no one would believe his
story. So he waa compelled to go to
work at something, and finally se
cured employment in a large saw
mill as a driver of a saw-dust oart.
He worked here for gometime, until
he obtained some money, and then set
.km( rrtMnc to find his parents. He
advertised in the Chioago papers, butj
to no avail. At last he gave it up and
concluded it was useless to continue
the search. His life was passed for
several years iu Michigan. He work
ed at odd jobs in various towns and
cities in that State Detroit, Lansing,
Ann Arbor, Jackson, Saginaw, and
others. At last he determined to
come to Iowa, and endeavor onre
more to find his parents. Ho landed
in Iowa in 1874, and went to work in
Dubuque asclerk in one of the hotels.
He hoped by occupying this position
to gain some clew as to the wherea
boutsof his parents. But time passed
on, and he failed to hear any tidings
of them. About a month ago he saw
the name of John Cressout in the
State Register, and thought It must be
that of his father. He came to this
city the Monday before Thanksgiving,
and Inquired of the newspaper men
and hotel-keepers as to their knowl
edge of his father. They directed him
to the office of the County Recorder.
He went and found his father's name
recorded upon the book of deeds as a
farmer, in Washington Township.
Arriving there, he inquired whether
John Cressout lived thereabouts. He
was directed to a large, comfortable
house, surrounded by spacious barns,
and having the appearance till around
of thrift and wealth,
Let us paint the picture. It is
Thanksgiving Day. Everything Is
busy in John Cressout's kitchen. The
large table in the spacious dining
room is being loaded with savory
food. The ovens are steaming with
crisp, brown turkeys, dressed in the
most fragrant trimmings that the
skilKul hand of a housewife could
prepare. The parlor is filled with a
happy party of friends and neighbors
of Mr. Cressout, who had gathered by
invitation to partake of his Thanks
giving hospitality. There is a knook
at the front door. Mr. Cressout at
tends to it. A stalwart, handsome
young man, with a bright look and a
perfect form, stands before him. He
informs the stranger that this is the
home of Mr. John Cressout. He is
invited to a private room, and, at his
request, Mrs. Cressout is summoned,
as the Btranges informed Mr. C. that
he has a few private questions to ask
them. Mrs. Cressout appears and
seats herself by the side of her hus
band. The stranger asks them if they
had a son by the name of Robert, who
was lost in Chicago some seventeen
years ago. They reply with anxious
breath that they had. The stranger
rises and makes himself known. Let
us withdraw. The scene is too sacred
for the public gaze. It is the reunion
of loving hearts, the return of a wand
ering son. It was a day for Thanks
giving indeed. It was a red-letter
day in the home of John Cressout.
No happier home than this could be
found in all the domain of nature.

exclaim, "Rejoice, for my son that

Christinas in England.
Iu my dear old mother-land, where
holidays come more frequently lhan
we can as yet permit them to come in
this new world ; where Shrovetide,
Easter, Whitsuntide, the village sum
mer feast, and Martinmas, are all
times of joyful sounds and good cheer,
Christmas always has a peerless place.
In my childhood, as it drew near,
'the earnest expectation of the crea
ture' would grow to be almost intoler
able. How well I remember it the
3'ule-cake in the oven, smel'ingns if
wise men had brought frankincense
and mj rrli to our poor place also ; the
old yule-log, kindled from a bit of the
old log, kept in white linen since last
year for the purpose. Then, on Christ
mas ve, a slumber troubled with ex
cess of joy up to midnight, with the
joyful clash of church bells following
the last stroke of the dock, and ush
ering in the Christmas morning. Still
again, while the bells were ringing,
the singers would come shouting old
carols, iu melodies never heard of at
any other time, long echoes of the angel-song
gladdening all the centuries.
Then no more sleep after that; but a
tumult of joy, breaking out every
where into 'Merry Christinas!' and
transmuting one of the shortest days
into by far the longest day of the
year ; while every cottage was decked
with bright holly, green as the green

Important Tacts for Those who Burn
Kerosene.
From the Central New Jersey Times.
Kerosene oil is one of the products
derived from refining crude petroleum
as it comes from the well.
The oil is always more or less dan
gerous, according to the amount of vo
latile gases left in it.
Every lamp filled with the fluid is
liable to explode after burning several
hours.
But no explosion will ever happen
with the lamp full.
The dauger comes from the constant
generation of an invisible vaj.or in the
confided space above the oil. This va
por, which is inflammable, is caused
by the heat of the burner communi
oated to the oil ; but it will not explode
unless exposed to flame. The metal
attachments on lamps often become
40 warmer than the oil, which is it
self sometimes as high as 200 Hence
kerosene, to be entirely safe, should
be near lo0,proof.
But very little of tho oil used is as
good as this. Of sixty-three samples
recently tested, only eight were found
entirely safe. This will account for
the terrible loss of human life from
tho almost universal use of kerosene
oil. In the United States alone, last
year, over 100 deaths per week were
reported from accidents by kerosene.
A simple test is to place a table
spoonful of the oil in a-saucer and ap
ply a lighted match ; if the oil iguites
it is unsafe, never use it. If it does
not take fire it is not necessarily safe:
because the temperature of the oil in
the open air is not so great as that in
a burning lamp.
The only reliable test is one made
by slowly heating some oil in which a
thermometer is placed, constantly no
ting the numberof degrees and apply
ing a lighted matoh, not to the oil, but
to the vapor, if any, just above the
surface. If the oil flashes below 120
reject it.
This flashing point is the tempera
ture at which the oil emits an inflam
mable vapor, and depends upon the
quantity of naphtha or gasoline in the
oil. This point should always be
higher than the temperature that the
oil ever reaches in a lamp, which is
often 100
Cautions. 1. Keep the metallio parts
of lamps olean aud the air passages
open.
2. After a lamp has been burning
three or more hours atone time, never
re-light again, till filled.
3. In extinguishing the light, turn
the wick down quite low and allow a
few seconds to intervene before blow
ing out the flickering flame, or, better
still, do not blow it out, but let it
"flicker" out.
And tho winds blew upon the wo
man and whirled her hat over the
fence, and lugged enthusiastically
with her overskirt, and, when she
held the front down the baok flew up.
And straightway the fiery spirit of
her sex arose within her, and she
backed up against the fence, shut her
knees together on the front breadth
Lof everything, poked the hair away
from her eyes and smiled sweetly,
while the wind howled and shrieked
around her; and moaned and sobbed,
and darted between her fcnkles; and

the least impair their vitality, and the
'cure' depended upon their making a

THREE EDITIONS:
WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY & DAILY.
In making Us seventh annual announce
ment, The Inter Ocean reassured Its read
ors and the public gencrnlly of its faith in
t!i? Republican party and lis devotion to
Republican principles. Its record during the
past year has made It more than over before
the great Representative Republican paper
of tho country. Tho value of such a paper
and Its Influence for good were novor more
apparent than during the electoral compli
cations ot last fall and winter. The course
of Tun Inter Ocean during that trying pe
riod won for !t the admiration and lasting
friendship of Republicans everywhere. As
an exponent of true Republicanism, to
which the public turned for advice and for
encouragement, Tin: Intek Ocean stood
throughout the momentous strugglo without
a peer.
There never was a time when Republicans
more need a journal steadfast and true than
now. Xever before, in the history of the
country, has there been a period of such po
litical Interest and inquiry as Is now In the
Immediate future. Great questions are to
be discussed and disposed of; embarrassing
complications are to be grappled with ; fun
damental principles are to be defended. Re
publican to the core. The Inter Ocean will
give all possible information on all political
topics, and, while treating opponents with
the greatest fairness, will maintain Its high
standing as an earnest and outspokoh advo
cate of uncompromising and unadulterated
Republicanism.
While The Inter Ocean stands second to
no paper In the country as a political journ
al it takes high rank as an enterprising and
thorough-going newspaper. During the
past year It has eclipsed all Western papers
in the excellence, completeness, and reliabil
ity of its foreign dispatches and letters, and
has had few equals In presenting in most
readable shape general and homo news. In
every part of the world great events are oc
curring, with probabilities pointing to moro
important in the future. Never before was
a good newspaper so important to both
young and old.
In all that goes to make a first-cxass
newsi'AI'er, The Inter Ocean is not exr
celled by any publication in the country. It
Is a national newspaper, one that will bo
found useful and interesting to Americans In
every part of the globe. While It especially
represents the great Interests of the North
west, it is national In its "views nnd com
prehensive in its news gathering.
The Inter Ocean makes especial claim as
A family r.u'ER, devoting more attention
than any other political newspaper to de
partments prepared and conducted with the
wants of the home and tho demands of the
family In view.
THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Is
conducted with great care, and everything
possible is done to make tho market reports
reliable and complete.
THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT is
carefully edited by a gentleman of ability
and experience,
THE HOME DEPARTMENT is of special
Interest to the ladles, and Is devoted to the
practical and useful.
TO EDUCATIONAL MATTERS especial
attention is given. Believing that the per
petuity of the republic depends upon the ed
ucation of the people, The Inter Ocean is
the warm advocate of the free school system,
aud everything that will improvenud extend
It.
THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM- is a new de
partment devoted to tho lntcrosts of that
largo portion of the gentler sex who, cither
from neee-islty or otherwise, desire to devote
themselves to some useful occupation or pro
fession, for the purpose of earning a, liveli
hood. It is not for the advocacy of any par
ticular issue, but for the female character in
every department of life.
THE QUESTION AND ANSWER DE
PARTMENT, long a speelal feature of The
Inter Ocean, is a valuable encyclopedia of
Information, and covers as much ground In
the course of a year as many of the elabor
ate works published at such high prices.
THE INTER OCEAN has the largest aggre
gate circulation of any newspaper published
in the Northwest. It is sent to moro than S,-
oOOpost-oilices, distributed in every Stateand
