wealth, a worthy nobleman of Tyre.
named .SlQhaeus. You might think that
a Mng. would be glad to have the
-friendship and -support of a man of
thai'- kid. especially la that far-away
;.time. whe-.thrones rested, at best, upon
somawhat shaky foundations, but Pyg-
-malion' was so -puffed up with is own
importance- and so-confident of his pow-
r. .that he- sometimes ''lost his bead."
" -. He had- one passion that subordinated
' everything else in his nature the love
;" .'or gold, and he was in the habit of--.'overriding
anything that might stand
.."In ihe way of acquiring it,
' In spite, therefore, at bis close rela-

, beshauld.have felt, but did not. for his
' fceautif ulr sister, the Princess Dido, he
determine!, to become possessed of the
wealth of Sicbaeus. and to that end he
had him put to -death.
. Be: the widowed Dido managed to
outwit th avaricious king, her brother.
".and. knowing quite well that she would
f'oilo-w her husbaad to the land Of
hade if she did not put herself be
yosii the king's reach, she secretiy or-
ganired a band of followers, men and
wcHien. and fled from Tyre, taking with

storm-beaten Trojans were led to for
get' their distress.
1 the evening; .the .feast was" spread
In the great hall of the palace, and
QueenDido made Aeneas sit beside bar
on net-throne". Then, while the festivi
ties went on around them, she "bade Bim
tell, hex the story of his escape from
Troy .and his adventures before the
storm; drove him to Carthage.
.'"This, most noble queen," said
Aeneas, "Is how it happened. For ten
'years had the Greeks. led by Agamem
non. Menelaus. Achilles and the rest,
sought in vain to capture Troy. Many
a great and glorious struggle had tak
en place upon the plains beforethe city;
and many a hriUiant deed of arms had
been done by warriors on both'Sides.
"But strategy accomplished what
valor had failed to do. and when our
people hauled within the gates a great
wooden horse xhat the Greeks had left
upon the plain our doom was sealed.
That wooden horse was filled with some
of- the bravest of our enemies., and- at
night a' traitor opened its side and
turned the warriors loose upon our un
suspecting people.
"Straightway these warriors opened
the city gates to their soldiers and Troy
was taken Then followed all- the hor
rors of fire, pillage and massacre, in
the midst of which I managed to find
my way out of the city, bearing my
l father, Anchlses, upon my shoulders.
j and leading my little son by the hand.
Close after me followed my wife, but
she. alas! was soon swept away in the
f confusion and utterly lost.
Some others escaped, also, and when
I encountered them some distance from
the city, they placed themselves under
my guidance and command. The fugi
tives, as you see, were men. women and
children, and I determined to seek a
new country ard establish a colony,
perhaps build a city that might rival
fair Troy.
"In time we secured ships and set
sail, meeting with various adventures
on our way. We first landed on the
shores of Thrace, but the gods sent me
a warning, and we took ship again.
Then sighting Telosv I sailed Into its
harbor, and having gone ashere. I con
sulted the oracle of Apollo for guidance.
"The oracle answered me in ambigu
ous phrase, as oracles always do: 'Seek
your ancienr mother; there the race of
Aeneas shall dwell, and reduce all oth
er nations to their sway.'
"I knew not where to find my 'an
cient mother,' but Anchfses, my father.
remembered that Crete was the reputed
home of my ancestors. To Crete, there
fore, we sailed, and having landed, we
began to build a city, but sickness
broke out among my people, our crops
utterly failed, and I had a dream iff
which I was warned to seek Hesperia,
In the west, whence Dardanus, the real
founder of th Trojan race, had mi
grated. "Leaving Crete, therefore, we turned
our ships toward the west. Having
touched at various points, and met with
many strange adventures, we at last
reached the- coast of Sicily, over against
your own good city of Carthage.
"With fair winds, clear skies, smooth
f water and hopeful hearts, we were
speeding away prosperously toward our
destination, when Juno, whose resent
ment against Paris for awarding the
Golden Apple to Venice extends to the
whole Trojan race, sent for Aeolus, the
rufer of the winds, and ordered him to
turn loose a gale upon our ships and
wreck them.
"It was that storm. O queen, through
which we struggled as we neared this
fcnspitable shore. No doubt you mar
veled at the suddenness with which It
subsided; but know you that It was
great Neptune that quieted the waves.
Hearing the storm raging, and know
ing that he had not ordered one. he
looked from under the water and bade
i the winds go back to their keeper.
"Then it was that we sailed through
smooth water to your fair city, where
you and your people have so royally
received us."
"And here you shall remain, noble
r Aeneas, if it please you. for whatever
you ask you shall have, even to the half
of my kingdom. I beg you to seek not
that unknown country. Hesperia: be
content with Carthage, for here you
shall have richs. luxury and power."
Who will wonder that Aeneas accept
ed the generous queen's offer? And
when she gave him her hand and made
him her royal consort, he ceased to
think of Hesperia and the mysterious
warning he had received In his dream.
But. the hands of the gods were-upon
this noble Trojan, for it had been de
creed that his race should found the
citjr of Rome, in Hesperia. or Italy, as
It is now called, and Jupiter sent Mer
cury to reminc1 him of the great destiny
that had been predicted for him.
Surrounded by luxury, wealth, power,
love and all the allurements that en
snare a man's ambition, he was content
to remain. In Carthage with his beauti
ful queen. But a command from the
gods he dared not disobey. Wben Mer
cury had left him, therefore, he began
his preparations for leaving Carthage.
Dido used all the sweet persuaslon
Xhat love and devotion could suggest
but while his heart was torn with agony
at' the thought of leaving her. he dread
ed the anger of Jupiter too much to
yield to- her entreaties.
When the afflicted queen knew that
he had sailed away she gave herself up
to a grief that was too heavy to bej
borne, and even while his ships were
still within sight of the city, she mount
ed a funeral pl" that had been prepared
by her direction- thrust a dagger deep
into her heart and sunk dying upon the
pile as the flames sent thir long
tongues up into the air.

N WASHINGTON.
D. C. the '"Gospel
wagon" is the" new
est 'idea for prose
cuting the war
against sin and
crime. This novel
vehicle; which" is
really a small i
church on wheels,
is. .twenty-five feet
in length, seven
feet in width and will comfortably
seat thirty-three people.
As may be seen in the picture, part
of the. panel on the right hand side of
the wagon is cut through and works
outward from the lower end on, hinges.
When this is on a level with the floor
of the wagon it is held firmly in posi
tion by iron straps and constitutes' the J
platform, from which the preacher may
address the assembled throng. On the
opposite side of the wagon is another
opening in the panel. When this is in
use it falls to a level with the pave
ment and provides, on its inner side
four steps by which one may ascend
and enter this fin de siecle chariot of
the Lord. The roof is detachable, so
that in fair weather it may be removed.
On hot day3-a canvas covering protects
the heads of the worshipful from the
sun's rays.
On the left hand side pf the wagon,
and adjoining the pulpit platform, is a
handsome organ.- The choir is an able
one, and singing is an important feat
ure. All the seats are made to fold so
that space may be economized when
necessary. A handsome pair of roan
horses, donated by a- wealthy sypathiz

deficiency in the number of its congre-1
gations. Different preachers take
charge of the services from day to day,
each one going in a different section
of the city. On Sunday, when the or
dained preachers are busy with their
regular charges some deacon officiates,
and the wagon is usually drawn to
some suburban locality where people ,
congregate in the endeavor to keep
cooL
But there is ho part of Washington
that this wagon does hot penetrate.
Those neighborhoods in which live the
classes considered mostly in need of
redemption are visited every day at a
scheduled time. There is a great in
terest in the services and the attend
ance is always good. The services usu
ally last about half an hour.
Although the Gospel wagon and its
occupants have gone among the very
roughest classes in Washington they
have been treated with respect even by
those from whom they had reason to
expect ridicule, if not violence, and
many persons' ordinarily indifferent to
religious services became actually in
terested, with- the result that frequeat
conversions have been made. The
builders of the wagon have orders from
several other cities for vehicles of
simifar structure,- to be used for the
oame purpose.

The boys .are telling a rather good
story on a Fargo 'citizen and police
officer, which runs something fix thl3
wise, says Fargo Forum:. .The citfxen
.had purchased a candy revolver for his
little bsy, -which, closely resembled a
genuine weapon. Last night he was in.
the ladies' waiting room at the North
ern.Paific awaiting the 'arrival of "No.
2. smoking a cigarette. It's against
the rules to smoke in this room, and
when the officer stepped in he detected
the smell of smoke, and after sizing up
the crowd, finally located the citizen
calmly .smoking away.
"Here." said the officer, "if you. want
to smoke you will have, to go oQtsi.de
"Dwn't vou talk to me that way."-' re
plied the cigarette smoker or I'll blow
you full of hple's. As he" said this he
drtw the candy weapon from his pock
et and leveled it at the -officer. "The
crowd at least took no chances. Con
vinced there was going to be a shoot
ing and that a "copper" or somebody
was going to be killed. 'there was a
unanimous desire among the bystand
ers not to witness the slaughter of the'
devoted guardian of tlie peace. Every
one made an attempt at the same time
to reach the door. Several might have
been injured if the prompt action of the
police officer had not prevented the
panic that seemed imminent He seized
the citizen's right arm and pushed
it up and back so that if the candy
revolver was discharged it would be in
the air. Then he shouted: "You are
under arrest!" and led him out into the
hallway, which was soon crowded. The
citizen still held the candy revolver,
which .looked formidable enough in the
dim light. He seemed to have lost his
bold front- and was trembling with
fear. In faltering tones he safd: "Don't
put me under arrest. I would rather
eat this revolver than be locked up in
a police cell."
"Well," said the officer, half in jest,
"you eat that revolver and I'll let you
"AIL right." he. returned, and to the
amazement of every one, including the.
officer, he put the barrel into his mouth

and bit off a large section. Before the
crowd recovered from Its surprise the
trigger had disappeared from view, and
by the time the officer had discovered
that he had been the victim of a joke
the revolver had been eaten.

What strange ideas children must
have on subjects about which they nev
er speak! Certainly some of those which
are drawn from them would indicate
this fact.
The teacher of a Hartford infant class
propounded the followingr "Can you
tell me, children, what a skeleton is?"
The infant class looked troubled.
Their ideas on the subject were of the
most vague description, and. they
seemed to think, hardly worth men
tioning. The question passed down
the class, almost to the very foot, gain
ing only a blank look or shake of the
head, until at last the smallest tot of
all ventured a reply; "Pleathe, mith, I
fink I know."
"Well, dear, what is it?" asked the
teacher.

edy has ever been found to operate
against these drugs. Death invariably
follows, sometimes swiftly and with
awful agony but more frequently after
the lapse of months of terrible suffer
ing. "Fourteen braves have been sent to
the good trapping grounds by this
hand," said the eld conjurer. One of our
.missionaries tells a thrilling story of
his life among the .savages. He is a man
of powerful physique and athletic pro
portions. "I lived with two of the
tribes so long that they call axe their
little brether." he said. "They are
a powerful race. The men are large
and very strong. My work as a mis
sionary was in a country about seven
hundred ts one thousand miles north
of Winnipeg. The line that separates
the Indians front the Esquimaux is not
marked, and. while their hunting
grounds are not far apart in some
places, the customs of the people- are
very different. The. Cree and Sal
teaox Indians are not bloodthirsty, but
once their anger or envy is aroused,
death, more terrible than that inflicted
by the scalping-knife or tomahawk,,
awaits the victim. Their knowledge of
poisons is extraordinary. I saw many
victims, of .the deadly drugs adminis
tered by old conjurers, and during my
twenty years' residence with the tribes,
had frequent oceasien to do some serv
ice to the victims, for I was doctor,
magistrate, preacher, and teacher for
them. Some of their poisons operate
in a most mysterious manner. One of
the- drugs in common use when I first
went among the Indians caused great
sores to appear on the face and body
of the victim. No matter what season
of the year this poison was given, its
effects were not visible until spring.
Then the sores would appear. After a
while these sores would apparently dry
up and scales would take their place.
When these scales dropped off, great
tufts of hair sprung- from the sores.
Then death followed. Sleighs are the
only means of travel in that country.
The Indians are remarkable runners,
and pride themselves on their powers
of endurance in that line. If an In
dian is so unfortunate as to excite the
envy of a rival runner he is very apt
to get a dose of poison. The drugs
given in such cases are equally as mys
terious in their effects as those ad
ministered where death is to be pro
duced. Some of these drugs paralyze
the legs of the runners, but have no
further effect. Other drugs merely
stiffen the limbs.
"The powers exercised by the con
jurers over their tribes is very great,
and they know that the missionaries
come to break it. When: an Indian feels
an inspiration or inclination, whatever
it may be. to become a conjurer, he
goes through a singular course of train
ing. He will sit alone for hours at
night on the summit of the cliffs, talk
ing to the clouds, and listening to the
winds. During the daytime he is se
creted in a cave. An air of mystery
surrounds his life and movements. He
starves himself almost to death.
Months after absenting himself he
comes back. Then he is a conjurer."
PoUcaaaia Baker a M
Henry "Frake, 13 years old. of New
ark, N. J., was seized with cramps
the other evening while bathing in
the Morris Canal, near Plane street
bridge. Policeman Baker, of the Sec
ond precinct, heard the cries of the
lad's companions and ran to the scene.
The boy had sunk before the policeman
reached the towpath. The policeman
plunged in and dived three times be
fore he secured the lad's body. Baker
got a barrel and rolled the boy on it
until he freed him of water. Then he
worked to induce respiration and kept
up his efforts until a doctor arrived.
Two hours were spent on the boy and
his life was saved. Baker will be
awarded a gold medal for bravery by
the Commissioners.

. "Excuse" me, -sir,?- he said, when he
saw he had the business man's attention.-
'"I am taking; orders for trous

"Don't 'want any. said the. business

"Pardon me," persisted the young

"It would only be a waste of time,
interrupted the business man.
. -"I will measure you for then, right
here and you need not rose five minutes

yomng-man. paying ao atteation to the
interruption. .
. "But I don't want any,"' insisted the
elderly man."
"Very well, sir. I regret" Just then
his eye fell on a smaller desk in the cor

to do a little business after-all. "Might
lack who occupies' that desk?" .
. "My .private secretary," replied the
business man.
"Do you suppose "
"Why, yes, possibly you might." Tfu.
business man was' suddenly interested.
"It's worth trying, anyway.
"When can I"
"Come back in an hour."
Thank you, sir. I will."
Then the.business man became so in
terested in some mental' pictures that
he conjured up that he forgot all about
his work for nearly fifteen, minutes.
It was just about an hour later- that
the young man came back. He entered
in a business-like way, and then
stopped, stammered something in a
confused sort of way and started' to
back out.
"Come in." called the old man cheer
ily. "Anything I can do for you?"
"N-n-no, thank you." And he was
gone.
"What a queer-acting man," said the
private secretary, looking after him.
"Isn't he. Miss Blank?" returned the
business man innocently. "I think it

Richard Carroll, the actor, stood at
the entrance- to the Garrick Theater,
New York, the other night. With a
party of friends he had just left a
neighboring chop house. C. F. Dilling
ham, who is to manage the new theater
in Hartford, was talking to him. An
other of the party that was about to
enter the theater handed Carroll a
quarter. "It's yours, Dick," he said;
"the man who runs the chop-house
said he'd charged you too much after
you'd got outside the door." Carroll
took the money and started to put it
in his waistcoat pocket, when it fell
on the tesselated lobby. He stooped
and picked it up. To his surprise and
the others, a young woman, who was
by the gatekeeper, and who had an el
derly woman with her, held out her
hand.
"Thank you very much," she said.
"I must have dropped it." The thing
looked so cold-blooded that everybody
laughed except the woman and Carroll.
"Glad to be of service to you," he
said, and then he added to the men,
"Tag, I'm it. What'H you take?"

Joel Handst. an Amish farmer, whe .
moved to Henry County. Ohio, from
Pennsylvania about a year ago, is a
typical representative of his sect. His
creed being to fight no man at law,
numerous depredations were made on
his farm and no one was punished.
Becoming suspicious of his forbear
ance, his enemies began to associate
his name with several mysterious dis
appearances of farmers during the past
year. Recently a band of masked men
went to his cottage, but a search failed
to confirm their suspicions. Handst
was praying when the marauders made
forcible entrance, and continued in a
suppliant attitude while his premises
were being ransacked. The gang de
liberately cut off his right ear and-then
left. Handst made no resistance. He
said he would leave their punishment
to their Maker, and urged that the case
be dropped. His wounds were dressed
by his wife, who takes the outrage as
calmly as himself. The authorities are
investigating the case.

ing' to the horse, he insisted-on riding-if
himself. His father consequently
asKed the circus rider to let his .boy
ride.- Gurando Kuen. showing' in his
face perfect satisfaction, rode- on the
.neck of the horse and appeared as if he
was persuading-the horse toga. One
day, when he was older, he was play
intr ball by his own house, and he acci
dentally broke a glass window of his
neighbor. Having- regretted what he
had done, he made up his. mind, and
went into the neighbor's house, and
excused himself to the lord of the
bouse, saying: "I accidentally broke
the window of thy honorable house. I
have no word to excuse myself. The
only thing I can do is to my father
tell, a new glass window buy, this loss
repay. Please excuse." This house
lord, having been much pleased with
this child's unusual thoujjhtfnlness.
without any condition excused his sin
Indeed. Gurando Kuen's heavenly na

nature when it is but one inch long.
Galvanised Stael Wire 7aeas
The most extensive and .complete
plant for the manufacture of wire fenc
ing ia the United States Is the De Kalb
Fence Company, located at De Kalb.
HL For years prior to IS3Q barbed
wire was extensively used for
fencing, but those using it often lost in
fine stock, more than Ita cost and to
avoid danger to manor beast there was
need of. andaa demand far. a barbless
fence.
The proprietors of thl3 company
having spent more than 12 years in. the
manufacture of wire fencing, recog
nized this fact, and have produced the
best lines of smooth wire fencing for all
purposes now la use. The success of
this company Is due to the managers
adopting the true business principle of
making good what they make, putting
enough material In their lines to- make
them both strong and serviceaMe, in
stead of producing a cheap flimsy ar
ticle only to meet the price of a fence
that has' never given satisfaction. This
is what has made their fence so popular
and In such great demand and: to-day
they have over 40 special machines.
with a capac'ty of over 2Z miles of
fence per day. and their fencing Is. used
In every state In the Union. The fence
most used is their Cable Steel and Hog
Fence for field fencing. Cable Poultry
Fence., Steel Web Picket Fence, and
Park, and Cemetery Fence, and to com
plete same they also make gates of wood
or steel frames to match, and also fur
nish iron posts. All of their styles of
fencing1 are strong, neat, durable and
economical in price.
And overyone needing fencing of anf
kind will consult their own Interests by
sending to the De Kalb Fence Co., 12t
High street. De Kalb. HL, for their 44

The Oaage Orange for Timber.
Rev. J. H. Crighton in the Ohio Stau
Journal recommends the osage orange,
as the best tree for. planting for timber.
Its good points he enumerates as fol
lows: (1) It is easy to transplant anil
tenacious Of life. (2) It is a fast grow
er, and soon attains a goqdsize. (3) It
is a straight, handsome tree, with.
leaves like the orange tree. (I) It is
the strongest tree in the whole bore
turn. Xo free will stand a cyclone Iik
this. (3) It needs no boxing for pro
tection. It is armed and will takecare
of itself. When it gets old it lays off
its spine to a great extent. () It has
no enemies like other trees. Xo bug.
wornx. beetle or beast will touch it.
and it may be planted in the most
public thoroughfare with safety. (T)
It is the best timber tree we have, be
ing stronger than hickory and more
lasting than cedar.- Xo man has" ever
lived long enough to see it rotten. The
wood is hard as ebony, but will rive
easily: is of a golden color, and polishes
equal to mahogany.
