The Power of
Sympathy
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
When the Spanish-American war
broke out Ralph and Ed^ar TVwpseud,
brothers, enlisted in the fame regi
ment of sharpshooters and were as
signed to the samo company. One day
they were out on tho picket lino snip
ing* for the Spaniards. Their posl
| tlon was behind a stono wall, its con
tinuity broken here and there. Ralph
was on one side of a gap, while Ed
| gar was on tho other side, the opening
: between them being eight or ten yards.
| Edgar concluded to make a dash to
! Join his brother. lie had passed safe
ly over nil hut a couple of yards of the
distance when Ralph saw a Spanish
sharpshooter taking aim at his brother.
Ralph had just emptied his piece or
ho would have shot tho Spaniard. As
it was, he sprang between him and
Edgar and received a shot which,
grazing the spine, paralyzed his lower
limbs. He was discharged from the
service and scut home, where he sub
mitted to an operation that partly re
stored his locomotive powers, but he
was in a measure crippled for life.
As soou as the war was over Edgar
Townseud rejoined his brother, resolv
ing to devote the rest of his life to
| him. Ralph was twenty years old,
Edgar twenty-two. Ralph would not
adiutt that he was crippled and was
very sensitive at the mention of his
being so. As for Edgar making any
chango whatever In his life's plans on
his account he would not hoar of it,
nor did Ralph seem to realize that he
had sacrificed hluiself for his brother.
He considered what he had done aim
ply in the line of his duty as a sol
dier. Edgar, on the contrary, was Im
pressed with the idea that his brother
had taken a burden which ho should
have borne himself.
j Nevertheless as soou as Edgar saw
' that Ralph was averse to such an ln
j terpretatlon of the status between
them, he refrained from any mention
of it, and wherever it was possible to
| conceal any sacrifice ho made for his
i brother he did so. He soou came to
[ studying Ralph's wishes, aud wherever
! they conflicted with his own, made pre
tense that what Ralph wanted was dis
! tasteful to him.
Then came Edith Payne into the
! lives of the brothers. She was sympa
thetic with Ralph, but her heart went
1 out to Edgar. The one she loved as
[ one who needed her, the other she
loved as one she needed. Edgar, notic
ing that his brother was daily grow
ing more dependent 011 her. refrained
from paying her any marked atten
tion.
As time went on Edgar perceived
that Edith was growing to be a neces
sity to Ralph. Moreover, he noticed
that while Edith was devoted to Ralph,
there were indications that her heart
was setting toward himself. One day
when he and Edith were speaking of
Ralph Edgar said to her.
"I feci it my duty to say to you.
Edith, that 1 have seen what perhaps
has passed unnoticed by you. Ralph
loves you."
Tho girl paled, and she had cause to
pale. She loved Edgar and she knew
that while his brother held this view,
Edgar was lost to her. He would nev
er stand between ids brother and her.
"I hope," she said presently, that
you are mistaken."
"And I hope." said Edgar, "if y<>u
think you cannot respond, that you are
mistaken. Our attentions t" those de
pendent upon us often draw us to them
with far greater force than we realize."
Edith sighed. She knew that the
man she loved was endeavoring to
persuade her to give herself to the mau
she only pitied. Rut she said nothing
more. She knew what Edgar would
have her do. She did not know his
feelings toward her, but she surmised
that he had no desire to possess her
himself. Even if ho had he would
I give her up to his brother.
| Soon after this brief dialogue Edgar
: went away for a time, leaving Edith
; and Ralph together. Before Ills de
parture ho said to Edith. "I hope when
I return to find that you have decided
I to make Ralph happy."
: It was thus that Edith was led to
bear a part of the burden of the man
she loved by giving herself to the man
1 sho did not love. She considered what |
' he had said to her a command, and j
she would not disobey. .W hri^Edgar
roFurne3 she "told him that she aiicl
Ralph were engaged.
She looked Edgar in the eye when
she made the announcement, hoping to
see him wince. If It was a shock to
him he concealed It so weli that she
was deceived. From that time sho
gave herself lip more and more to
Ralph's Companionship, nnd when the
wedding day came went with him to
the altar a martyr.
Then Edgar, feeling that his brother
no longer needed him as before, spent
much of his time away from him.
Some said he did not dare trust him
self near his brother's wife.
As the years sped on Ralph Town
send grew more and more helpless, his
wife more and more devoted to him.
Ten years after his marriage he died.
Those who knew of the sacrifice that
bad been made supposed that Edith
and Edgar would quickly come togeth
er. They have been disappointed.
Four years after Edith became a wid
ow she and Edgar had not married. It
Is said that she illustrates Edgar's
words to her years before, "Our atten
tions to thof.e dependent upon us often
draw us to them with far greater force
than we realize."
Ed.w « still a bachelor.
SORCERY IN NEW GUINEA.
When the Charm* Fail the Penalty la
Swift and Deadly.
Not long since, in oil Inland village
In New Guinea, a certain mother-in
law fell ill. A purl-puri man was
fetched to her aid from a neighboring
village. Could the purl-puri man cure
the mother-in-law? Oh, yes, the puri
puil man could surely cure the mother
in-law! The purl-puri man man must
have, however, as a fee for the cure a
dog and a pig. It was a bargain. The
flog and the pig passed into the posses
sion of the sorcerer, and he set confi
dently to work. It was testified In the
course of the trial, which presently
came on, that the sorcerer, who was
by this time the deceased in the case,
had "made a few passes" over the
mother-in-law and returned to his vil
lage.
"Now, my good woman," said be,
upon departing, "you will get well."
This was not so.
"I called you to attend my mother-in
law?" demanded the son-in-law, when
next the sorcerer came.
It was admitted.
"1 paid you a dog and a pig?"
"You did."
"My mother-in-law Is dead."
"Hum." it Is easy to imagine the
consternation of the sorcerer.
"Very well, then," declared the son
In-law. "As 1 paid you a dog and a
pig to cure ray mother-in-law, and as
$-ou did not cure her, I am going to
kill you."
Thereupon the son-in-law went off
with two friends in search of weapons.
Witnesses of what followed told the
magistrate before whom the case was
being tried that the sorcerer made no
attempt to escape, that ho calmly
awaited the inevitable event. Present
ly the avengers returned. The son-in
law grievously speared the sorcerer,
and the friends—lending countenance
and old—dispatched him with their
stone clubs. Not one of these men,
Jeclares the magistrate, could bo per
suaded that they had done anything
sut of the way. Uad the sorcerer not
been paid a dog and a pig for hla
medicine? And bad not bis cure fall
ed? And was he not n sorcerer, any
sow?—Harper's Magazine.
FIRES IN ICEHOUSES.
They Are Easily Started and Particu
larly Hard to Handle.
Icehouses, despite their damp con
tents and their simple structure, have
n high place among special fire risks.
No kind of building is such a parados.
Apparently an icehouse is as safe
against tire us a pump log or a mud
scow; yet give the tlames but half a
chance and nine times in ten they work
a total loss.
Under ordinary conditions an ice
house tiro starts easily. The walls rise
without masonry direct from the
ground; grass fires and brush fires
creep into contact with the bare wood.
Dry straw and hay He all about Damp
sawdust withiu often takes tire of it
self. Tramps, never over careful in
their smoking, seek shelter in the
buildings. The saw tooth roofs could
not be better planned to catch sparks
from passing trains.
And when the fire has started, it is
uncommonly hard to master. In most
cases it gets an overpowering headway

befoftTtRe" fighters can assemble. Hy
drants are often lacking. If the build
lings lire full of Ice and the covering
! straw, the firemen can work only from
the outside; if the buildings are empty,
the great spaces give the flames both
draft and sweep. And tho walls,
by their peculiar construction, double
I or triple with twelve or eighteen Inch
spaces within, packed with tan bark
or other combustible filling, usually
baffle all attempts at reaching and ex
tinguishing the well fed fire within
them.—Boston Herald.
Tho First Houseboats.
The first houseboats In this country
were developed on the Mississippi riv
er and were called "shanty boats." As
the name implies, they are more or less
! of n shelter or shanty built on a small ;
boxlike scow or float of logs, usually j
containing but one room, in which
cooking, sleeping, living, trading and
very often gambling were conducted.
These shanty boats often started from
St Louis or points farther north nud
drifted with the current, assisted and
6teered with long sweeps all the way
down the river to New Orleans. Here j
they were sold or deserted by their I
owners, it being practically Impossible
to get them back up tho river against
the current without towing, the cost j
of which was prohibitive.—n. \V. Lo- ;
weree in Countryside Magazine.
Burned Out Fuss Plugs.
When a house tuso plug "blows" out
and thero is no other ai hand take a !
bit of tin foil—the covering from a
pack of tobacco or chewing gum will
do—and fold it once, making the strip
about one-half Inch wide; then lay It
over the contact points of the plug and
6crew the plug into the receptacle.
This will make a connection and will
not produce any more body than If the
ordinary fuso wire were used.—I'opu

A New Back for an 01(1 One. How
it Can bo Done in Alaxka
The back aches at timee with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of tlie
kidneys, and again the loins are
so lame that to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to the
back i£ the kidneys are weak. Al
askan residents would do well ' to
profit by the following example.
John I. Conger, prop., printing
shop, 845 N. Seventeenth St., Sal
em, Oregon, says: "My back got
weak and sore and my kidneys did
not act as they should. At times
I could hardly 'straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief and it
took them only a short time 1 to
l id me kidney trouble. I pub
licly endorsed them several years
ago and am glad to do so again."
Pi-ice 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
