ABSOLUTE We I ti ct I rftp QRATEPUL FOR W.NDNESS. Bow an Indian Rrded m Man Who Rendered Him a Service. President Dwight of Yale college, tells a good story of Indian wit and friendship. Ii the early days of Litchfield, Litch-field, Conn., an Indian called at the tavern and asked the landlady for 'food, frankly stating that he had no 'money with which to pay for it. She refuBed him harshly, but a white man who stood by, noted the red man's ba!f-famishfld state? and offered to pay for his supper. The meal was furnished fur-nished and the Indian, his hunger satisfied, returned to the fire and told his benefactor a story. "You know the Bible?" said the red-skin. The man assented. "We! I," said the Indian, "the Bible says God made the world, and then he took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' He made light, and he took him and look at him ar.d say, 'He goad, very good." Then he male dry land and water and sun and moon and grass and trees, and took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then he made beasts and birds and fishes, and took him end look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then he made a man and took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then he made a woman, and took him and look at him, and he no dare say one such word!" That last conclusion was uttered with a meaning glance at the landlady. Some years after this occurrence, the man who paid for the Indian's supper was captured cap-tured by redskins and carried to Canada, Can-ada, whee he was made to work like a slave. One day an Indian came to him, recalled to his mind the occurrence occur-rence at the Litchfield tavern, and ended by saying: "I am that Indian. Now my turn pay. I see you home. Come with me." And the redskin guided the man back to Litchfield. Chicago Chronicle. NEGRO ORATORS. fhelr Alnee from ThI Campaign a N.jtalil Kciiturr. In no previous national political campaign, writes Fannie B. Williams, has the negro orator been so little in demand as in the prestut one. There )s something quite interesting and significant sig-nificant in the waning influence of the pegro as a spellbinder. In the earlier 2ays of freedom, when the cause of Ihe newly enfranchised people was a subject of popular interest, the gifted men of the race formed a striking and interesting feature in the political politi-cal campaigns and were to be heard in every part of the north. The great Frederick Douglass was one of the 6tars in the firmament of spellbinders. ILs noble personality and rare eloquence elo-quence gave an added interest and est to the campaigns. Mr. Douglass' prestige made the negro's cause important im-portant in every political contest, and his counsel was always sought and respected. But Mr. Douglass was not alone. There were several colored men in Congress and many others holding important federal positions in the southern states who were men of much eloquence and effectiveness on the political stump. Prominent among them were Prof. Langston, John R. Lynch, ex-Gov. Pinchback, of Louisiana, and the late Senator Bruce. All these men were immensely popular, much in demand and were justly valued as adding strength and picturesqueness to the fighting forces of the republican party. Most of the orators of the early days hi've gone to their rest. John R. Lynch, now a paymaster in the United States army, and ex-Gov. Pinchback live in retirement retire-ment and ease in Washington, and are about the only survivors of the post-bellum nc.?ro orator. They are still loyal to the Republican party, but they are seldom heard on the political po-litical hustings. Ituncol Out or Ilia Sent. "In the matter of strategy a woman can get the better of a man every time, in minor affairs, at least," said a man who is in business down town, rnd who rides home in a West Philadelphia Phila-delphia car during the rush hour every ev-ery evening, says the Philadelphia Record. "I usually get a seat, for I take the car away down at Fourth street. The other evening I was busily reading my paper when a woman got aboard at Twelfth street. I glanced up slyly, and saw that all the seats were occupied. Hasty as my glance was she caught my eye and that was my finish. S'miling broadly, she came over to where I was sitting and exclaimed, ex-claimed, 'Why, how do you do? How are all the folks?' I couldn't place the woman to save my life, but I lifted my hat and replied that we were all well. 'She must be some friend of the fam-fily,' fam-fily,' I argued with myself, so I folded vip my paper and gave her my seat. After she had settled herself comfortably comfort-ably she looked up at me in a queer sort of way and said: 'Really, . I must beg your pardon. I took you for Mr. Jones. You look so much like him.' But she had the seat, and she kept it It was a clear case of bunco.'' l DRr and Its Cses. In a hundred thousand farm houses the essence of Jamaica ginger is regarded re-garded as one of the most valuable of family medicines. It is still used with sugar in the cold water furnished to haying hands for drinking. It makes a wholesome beverage for any one in hot weather. Persons of weak digestion diges-tion will find a few drops of the essence es-sence useful if taken in water before breakfast without sugar. Ginger tea, made from the root, is of service, like catnip tea or sage tea, to produce perspiration per-spiration in colds, or to stimulate the system after exposure. It is more pal atable than the decoctions of sage and i catnip. In toothaches a bit of root j ginger chewed slowly will remove the pain and make one comfortable till a ' dentist can be consulted, early all the good effects of alcoholic stimulants can i be secured from ginger. But the so-called so-called ginger habit has to be guarded against. So has the cayenne pepper habit. Lincoln as a 1 Ire-Kolider. How the Lincoln stories grow!

I I remembered mis was me aay yuu j epoke of riding over," said Dr. Adair j Rothes for it v ao he in a low "voice; "but I bsiuiy expected you would ocao ciaj'. ".-';"ihese terrible fiitnors about.'" Bluebell's eyes grew larger than their wont. "Rumors? I haven't h tt-M any," she said. "What are they, DoVta- Rothes ?' "You haven't heard?" ie had not released her hand, and was holding it very closely now. "They say that the Boers are marching into Natal." "Oh!" Bluebell uttered a little cry, and the rosy color faded out of her face. "Is it war, then?" "I suppose so," Rothes answered gravely. "It seems Kruger has as good as declared war by sending a message to England demanding that our troops should be immediately recalled from South Africa." Bluebell sat very still on her horse, her hands clasped; Rothes had at last withdrawn his. "Will thev come to Ladysmith?" she whispered at last. Rothes nodded. "That is what is expected. We shall be besieged. The inhabitants are beginning to fly already, al-ready, and I expect in a few days Ladysmith will be deserted except by the garrison." "And you, what will you do?" Bluebell Blue-bell asked. There was a little quiver in her voice, which seemed to send a swift thrill of mingled joy and pain to Rothes' very soul. "I shall remain here, of course," he answered, trying to speak in his usual tone. "Unless there Is fighting outside. out-side. If there is I shall go with the army. , Bluebell was silent for a moment, and then she said: "You will be on our side, of course?" "I will be with the British army," Rothes answered quietly, "but, thank heaven, a doctor's business is not to fight on any particular side, or to slay his brother, but to do what he can for those who are wounded and dying on either side. But you are going into the town. Miss Leslie? I must not keep you." "I have messages," said Bluebell; "but I will not wait long, as I am going go-ing back alone." "May I go a bit of the way with you?" Rothes asked eagerly. "I do not like the idea of you riding those twelve miles alone with the country in this unsettled state." Her soft eyes fell suddenly. Bluebell would hardly acknowledge to herself how her heart beat and her veins thrilled at the proposal. "Thank you," she said the next moment. "It is kind of you. I shall leave the town about three, I think." "Then I shall be here at that time," he answered. "Good-bye, Just now." And he moved away. Bluebell rode on into the town. The terrible tidings had shocked and horrified her, but she was not frightened. fright-ened. There was little fear in Bluebell Leslie's nature, small and childish and fragile as she looked. And she was a woman; and the look in Adair Rothes eyes, the close, warm clasp of his hand, occupied her thoughts almost more than this terrible picture of war. She found Ladysmith in a state of confusion. Many of the shops were shut But Bluebell managed to get her business done, and then went to see one of her acquaintances. She found her busy preparing for departure. "I suppose it's safer to go," said Mrs. Lloyd, a pretty little English woman, wo-man, whose husband was an engineer. "Ted insists on my going; but I don't feel as if I could leave him here alone." "You are going and Mr. Lloyd is remaining?" exclaimed Bluebell, with startled eyes, and then: "Oh, Nellie, how can you?" "I would not, of course, if I had only myself to consider," said Mrs. Lloyd, the tears springing to her eyes; "but Csi-e is my poor little baby. Bluebell." "What of that?" said Bluebell. "A wife's place is beside her husband, surely? Better you should both die together, if the worst comes, than that you should be separated. Nellie, how would you feel if anything happened to your husband and you so far away?" Nellie burst into tears. "Yes, you are quite right, Bluebell. I held out against Ted ever so long, and, now that you speak like that, I feel that I have been very cowardly to give in to him. No, I won't go!" Bluebell left her friend, whose mind was thoroughly made up, after a little, and the two friends kissed each other, with the feeling that they might never meet again on earth. Bluebell kept back her own tears, and answered answer-ed the little woman as bravely as she could, but as she rode out of the town her path was all blurred by the blinding blind-ing tears that came to her eyes now. Doctor Rothes was waiting for her, mounted on a fine chesnut horse of his owh, and together they rode on In silence until they were out of sight of the town. "You saw one of your friends?" Rothes said at last. "Yes. I saw Mrs. Lloyd. She is going go-ing to stay at Ladysmith even if it ia besieged." "Brave little woman!" said Rothes, i tone of emotion in his voice. "I always al-ways thought her rather a butterfly, and I beg her pardon mentally for that," "In fact, you thought she and I were very much alike?" said Bluebell, with a little tone of coquetry. "Confess now you think me that, too, don't you. Doctor Rothes?" "I never thought you anything but " He was speaking with a sudden sud-den passion, but he suddenly checked himself and paused. "You know you are not justified in speaking like that." he skid at last gravely. "Did I ever give you reason to do so?" Bluebell laughed a little. "Do you remember the ball at Mar-Itzburg Mar-Itzburg last spring, Doctor Rothes? Ah, you didn't approve of me at all then!" He remembered it quite well. It was the first time he had met the Leslies, Les-lies, for he had been practicing in Marltzburg himself then. Bluebell's wild, childishly high spirits had carried car-ried her away that night, and she had flirted indiscriminately with all the officers of-ficers then stationed at Maritzburg.

Mackenzie W w y i ; w f? i " "Who is that grave-looking young man gazing so strangely at me?" she asked her. partner, a gay young lieutenant. lieu-tenant. "Do you think he wants an introduction, or is he only trying to wither me with a glance of his eye?" "The latter, I think," the lieutenant had answered, more truthfully the gallantly. "He's Doctor Rothes, and they say he is one of the awfully serious seri-ous kind, you know. Takes life like a funeral, and believes one should go to church twice on Sundays. That kind of thing, don't you know." Rothes' sunburned face had deepened deepen-ed just a little in tint. "It is too bad to bring back those old foolishnesses to one's memory," he said. "I did not know you then, Miss Leslie. I had not seen you in your home. I did not know you earned earn-ed the love and devotion of the poor natives on your father's place. I did not know you taught them, as far as was possible, not the mere profession of Christianity, but its practice." Bluebell bent a little over her horea's head. "I am afraid I ought to teach myself my-self that first. Doctor Rothes. Charity begins at home. But let us not speak of this. We can't be anything but friends, can we, with this terrible danger dan-ger facing us? Surely it will draw all European people out here closer together to-gether if anything could?" "Yes," said Rothes quietly, " we can't be anything but friends." Bluebell felt vaguely hurt at the cold words. They rode on, the horses' necks quite close together, and Rothes talked of the coming ordeal. Bluebell felt somehow strangely disappointed. T9 last time she had met Adair Rothes he had held her hand long, and looked into her eyes with a look that had made every vein in her body thrill; and now he was so cool and indifferent a friend, as he had said, and nothing more. It was not that Bluebell was in love with him. She told herself about a dozen times a day that she liked Adair Rothes very much, but could never imagine him as a lover; yet now, why this sicking of her heart? It was drawing towards sunset a glorious sunset. The whole of the sky died in crimson and gold, the very veldt reflected the crimson, so that it looked as if it were bathed in blood. Bluebell shuddered as she thought that very soon it might be. A kopje was before them, one of those little hills rising steeply from the "one side, sloping from the other, so common on the Natal veldt. Suddenly, Sud-denly, as Bluebell looked towards it, a figure on horseback emerged from behind it, and came ridiug straight towards them. tsiueDeu ten a tbnll of annoyanc. and aversion run through her, for recognized the rider at once. It the millionaire, Gerald Moore. CHAPTER III. He rode forward and lifted his hat, putting his horse in Bluebell's way so that she could not pass. Bluebell fancied fan-cied his face was paler than usual; but his deep, slowly-moving eyes did not move from her face. "Your father has sent me to meet you, Miss Leslie," he said in his rich, deep tone. "We have heard that tje Boer army has crossed into Natal, and" is marching straight on Ladysmith. It is not safe for you to be alone on the veldt." "I am not alone, thank you, Mr. Moore," said the girl, a touch of defiance defi-ance in her tones. ."Doctor Rothes" she turned towards Adair "has kindly kind-ly been seeing me home. He had heard the news you refer to." She was struck by the look on Gerald Ger-ald Moore's face as he turned to Rothes. There was an almost diabolical diaboli-cal expression upon it; but it passed away so quickly that she could not have sworn to it. "I presume that Dr. Rothes will not object to handing you over to my charge now that you are within three miles of New Kelso?" he said. It seemed to Bluebell there was an undercurrent un-dercurrent of either menace or defiance defi-ance in his voice. She glanced into Rothes' face. He sat very stiff and very erect on his horse, his face turned towards the other man. Bluebell had never not even that night of the Maritzburg ball seen so stern and cold a look upon his face as that which froze it at this moment. The expression startled her still more now. Was it possible these two men knew each other?" "I leave the matter entirely in Miss Leslie's hands,' he said gravely. "If she thinks I have come far enough, I am quite prepared to return to Ladysmith. Lady-smith. Moore looked at Bluebell. "You had better come with me. Miss Leslie, and allow Dr. Rothes to return re-turn home," he said; then added in a lower tone: "Your father is not quite himself today. Perhaps you would not care to have a stranger at New Kelso under the circumstances." Not quite himself! That decided Bluebell. Not for worlds would she have Adair Rothes, whose good opinion opin-ion she felt so strangely reluctant to lose, see her own father in a half-intoxicated half-intoxicated condition, and that was evidently what Moore's words implied. Adam Leslie had always been a little lit-tle apt to exceed, but it was only of late within the last six months that his daughter had noticed it. And it seemed to her, since the coming of Gerald Moore that her father had yielded still more to his unfortunate weakness. "Perhaps you had better not come any further, Doctor Rothes," she said, in a low voice. "If Mr. Moore is going to New "Kelso, of course he may a3 well ride with me; but I would just as soon go by myself. I am not a bit afraid." Rothes took off his hat and held out his hand. For one minute, only one, their horses were close together, and Moore's was so far apart as to render him out of earshot at least of a whisper. whis-per. "Good-by," " said Rothes, hurriedly and a little hoarsely. "I don't know when I may see you again. God only knows I pray that He may guard and keep you from danger!" He bent a j little nearer, and added in a whisper: j "As you value your safety and happi- j ness, beware of that man. I entreat ; pf you to do so, . a dangerous a man. I cannot say more. Good-fry -good-by." The clasp of his fingers on her hand' was to remain there for many days. Ht eode off, raising his hat, and , a strange sense of desolation and loneliness lone-liness fell upon Bluebell. She turned Rover's head and rode on, not glancing at Moore. Adair's words still rang in her ears. :So that is Doctor Rothes?" said Moore, giving his horse a little cut of the whip that sent him springing on beside Bluebell. "Yes," she said, looking straight into his face. "Do you know him?" "I had the pleasure of meeting him once in Maritzburg," said the millionaire million-aire dryly; "but, Miss Leslie, I wish to talk of something else just now. Your father hf.a given me leave to do so. What do you think has kept me all this time lingering about this district?" Bluebell shook her ruddy brown head. A feeling of vague discomfort and uneasiness shot through her at the question; but not in her wildest guesses guess-es could she have arrived within a mile of the truth." Gerald Moore went on slowly: "The country will soon be in a ferment; fer-ment; existence in it will be dangerous danger-ous unsafe. For men this does not matter so much; for women, especially those" he paused and added impressively impres-sively "whom we love, it is terrible not to be thought of. Your father wishes you to go out of the country while yet there is time." (To be continued.) CITY CF HONG KONG. It Is One of the Most I nliealthful Spo!s on the iilnhe. In spite of all the precautions that have been taken, the perfect sanitation sanita-tion of the city, the fine natural drainage, drain-age, the cleanliness of the streets, Hong Kong, says the Boston Transcript, Tran-script, is one of the most unhealthful spots on the globe. With its tropical heat, the lofty peaks that half encircle it catch the clouds that the rapid evaporation evap-oration create, the floods of rain pouring pour-ing down in streaming torrents. The houses lack light, although they are built as well as they could be, with perforated ceilings, through which the air circulates, admitted from openings pierced i the outer walls; the floors are brilliantly waxed, carpets, owing to the great dampness being dispensed with. The great difficulty is to secure light and proper ventilation; the streets are very narrow, and the towering tow-ering walls of buildings opposite obstruct ob-struct the light in front, while at the rear the courts or terraces crowded with foliage cast a heavy shade from that direction. In the gardens, while plants flourish luxuriantly, there is no grass, but the ground is green with moss, just as it grows in damp, shady places in cooler climates. The heat and the great humidity are destructive destruc-tive to health, and it is doubtful if there is a single normal liver in the whole of Hong Kong. English women who come out with complexions of cream and roses grow thin and sallow; sal-low; .he Hong Kong complexion is a etartling grayish green, and the old resident has, with his pallor, dark bluish circles under the eyes.

Some one told him that he had an Ulcer jon the eye, but that information informa-tion conveyed nothing to him, as he had no recollection of having got anything any-thing in his eye. Then he went to an eye hospital and there Dr. Batten found a growth on the cornea, or the outer coat of the eyeball, but beyond this he was unable to make any diagnosis diag-nosis at the time. His description of what he saw introduces into medical nomenclature the Boer word "kopje," for Dr. Batten says: "At the upper margin of the cornea there was a small, clear vesicle; its central portion por-tion was slightly prominent, forming a low, round-topped 'kopje' surrounded by a shallow trench." The doctor didn't know exactly what to do, but something had to be done, and he decided de-cided to scrape the cornea. When he did so the whole mass lifted off and the patient had no further trouble. Then the thing was sent to a specialist, special-ist, who pronounced it a parasitic crustacean, which is common on tur-bots tur-bots and cod. He was inclined to think it was dead when removed, as he believed it doubtful if a marine crustacean really could live on a human hu-man eye. New York Press. , Stationery of the Kaiser.
