WHEN THE DOWN IS ON THE THISTLE. When the down is on the thistle and the sumach plumes are red, And the haze of waning summer o'er the town and field is spread. And the nights are growing cooler and the dawns are frosty white. And the noons are mild and mellow and the asters purple bright. The time is come for waking from the summer's lazy dream, And the nimrod seeks the stubble and the angler seeks the stream. And the harvest ripe is waiting for the reaper's sturdy hand. And the subtle change of nature is pervading all the land. Oh, the summer strife is ended, and quiet reigns instead. When the down is on the thistle and the sumach plumes are red. When the down is on the thistle and the sumach plume are red, And the robin sings a requiem from the roof eave overhead. And the mountains don their purple, and the hills their russet coats. And the forests, dying proudly, are bereft of vocal notes. The time is come for thinking of the winter's merry days, And the nuts that lie ungathered in the many leaf strewn ways. And the hours of cheery comfort when the storm winds swiftly ride, And the cozy hearth and fender, and the sweet face at your side. Oh, the summer's well for wooling, but now's the time to wed. When the down is on the thistle and the sumach plumes are red. —Edward Wilbur Mason in Up to Date. AN ARMY ROMANCE. It is a commonplace of speech that there is no changing the leopard's spots. The keen observer of his kind who has not 12 axioms wherewith to work the theoremsof life, but 1,200, accepts it as gospel. Raymond, who was not a keen observer, but a man with faith in his heart, did not accept it. In the face of advice and caution and good counsel he decided to reduce it to the absurd and marry Cicely Glanville. Success crowned him, as even those who warned him know now, but it was a desperate risk. Far back in the days which it were heresy to doubt were as good as they were old, when Alan was just the stolid small son of Captain Raymond and Cicely was but the angel faced little daughter of Captain Raymond's first lieutenant, Marlitt, the boy and girl had been fond of one another. They had made mud pies and hunted the first wild flowers of the plains and had ridden burros and bronchos together. They had wintered and summered in each other's company the mountains and prairies of the southwest while the land was yet given over to the never ending disturbances of the hostiles. They had learned what it was to have only one another for playmates for months at a time. And because of the hardships of long marches and the joys to open up the graves where one's hopes and sorrows have lain sleeping. Yet we jeer at melodrama when we are shown bits from the play of existence that are as nothing to the truth. We say it is overacted. It is because it was a good omcer and a good man and unembittered. But Cicely Glanville changed. The world loves nothing better than to find an explanation for what has mystified it. It does not trouble to verify its belief. "It is plain," it said now, "why Cicely Marlitt married Glanville. Raymond was not the man to have allowed her to indulge her propensities." The propensities were toward flirtations that scandalized that conservative and respectable institution the army. Even the men of the regiment resented that it should be given fame through Mrs. Glanville. And the women feared and hated her, but they also admired. Popular superstition to the contrary notwithstanding, most women see the charms of a rival. Envy is as keen sighted as love is blind. And the clever ones admit them. Being isolated from the small circle of feminine wit, Mrs. Glanville added to her attractions much masculine clear sightedness and wide range of interests. She was as good to talk to as to look upon. She spoke with the tongue of a wisdom that was more—not less—than womanly, and she sang with the voices of a siren, and men fell down before her and worshiped her and, throwing the cloak of their infatuation over the clay feet of their idol, came finally to forget them and believe it all spotless alabaster. They held her up to wives and daughters and sisters whom they would have disowned for following in her path. And they ruined the peace of their lives and of their homes for her—all, too, without the hope of even a capricious fancy for reward. She brought them low and laughed at them, but they still had faith, as had her husband, though the heavens should fall. She was known to the borders of the service and beyond as a creature of no heart who had caused disaster and even death and had shown neither remorse nor pity. Yet when she was free once more Raymond went to her. His old faith was unmoved. It was a better sort of faith than any other she had inspired. Years had gone since she had seen him. She sat once again before the fire—the time in her father's home. And Raymond stood looking down at her. The face, above the black dress of her mourning, was as saintlike as of old and seemed as young and unscarred. The long, gray eyes were as placid, but more deep. He did not ask now why she had done these things. Perhaps he knew. But he said to her, as though the time between bad never been: A WORD WITH HUSBANDS. Give Your Wife a Little Praise Once I Awhile and See How It Works. “If husbands only knew, or if knowing only cared, how very much their words and manners affect the temperature of the home world, they would never by word or deed leave it enshrouded in gloom,” argues Mrs. A.M. Marriott in an article entitled “Praise Your Wife” in Woman’s Home Companion. “To most wives her husband is the sun around which ever thought revolves. There is scarce any instant in which his presence is not felt as she goes about her work or even at rest. If she is preparing the meal she way John likes this or that or some remark he has made about some article of food is recalled to mind. If she looks about her, she sees his hats and coat hanging on the hooks, and the hats in variably wear the same expression John’s face wore when he left in the morning—a jolly, good humored look he went away pleasant; if angry, gruff, defiant, attend to your own business air takes place of the so late gentle pliable shapes in felt and fair bristle with wrath over some trifle, but still enough to obscure the sun in little world for many a weary day, perhaps, ere it is seemingly forgotten. “There is no true woman but will pay her husband over and over again for kind, thoughtful treatment. He ready to call her childish, and she may seem so to him; but one thing is sure—a woman never forgets. “All little deeds of love or thoughtfulness sown by his hand yield a certain abundance harvest. She may lose her home better than any other spot earth, yet she sometimes gets so weak of daily routine of never enduring duties that fall to her lot that she cannot help an occasional feeling of sadness for those who have more time for recreation, for going abroad, for all the little things dear to the heart of every woman but which the stern hand of duty must effectually debars her from enjoyment Still, for all that, she would not for a whole world exhale places, ever she could, with any other woman, leaving home and John—dear old John—the price of her freedom from care. “If your wife has been a faithful true wife to you, tell her so. Do think it lowers your manliness any let her know that she still has a place in your affections. She has toiled so and late for you and your children through sickness and health, and denial has grown to be her motto. takes but little from her loved one make her happy, so do not begrudge a word of praise now and then as just reward, and of far more value her starving heart than gold. There some things which money can no small son of Captain Raymond and Cicely was but the angel faced little daughter of Captain Raymond's first lieutenant, Marlitt, the boy and girl had been fond of one another. They had made mud pies and hunted the first wild flowers of the plains and had ridden burros and bronchos together. They had wintered and summered in each other's company the mountains and prairies of the southwest while the land was yet given over to the never ending disturbances of the hostiles. They had learned what it was to have only one another for playmates for months at a time. And because of the hardships of long marches and the joys of a half savage freedom shared together they came to think themselves inseparable. And then they were separated. Cicely was to be civilized. She was sent east and abroad to school. Alan Raymond went through West Point and got his commission. Thereupon fate—which at times does what might be expected of her—sent him to the same post where the Marlitts were stationed, and he saw Cicely again. He looked into the placid depths of her long, gray eyes and remembered the past. He looked at the curving red lips and the thick brown hair and guessed the future. She had changed for the worse and for the better. She had been civilized and was less frank. She had learned to attain her ends by indirect means, yet as women go she was honest. But the saintly face was more beautiful and the child was grown to one of those women whom to love is to worship. And in due time Raymond loved her. There are men who take their love as simply as they do the breath of their life. It is necessary to them, but they do not go mad with the ecstasy of its possession. When Raymond had told Cicely that he loved her, and when she had laid her head upon his shoulder and had put her slender, clinging hands in his and, turning up the beautiful, deep eyes to his face, had said, "I love you," he was satisfied. His fault, if such it were, was that he was undemocratic, and Cicely's—though some count it a virtue in woman—that she was jealous. Of all vices jealousy carries with it its own swiftest punishment. It realizes its unreason, but is powerless—like a dreamer who suffers and cannot awake, though he knows the while that he is dreaming. She knew in her heart that her lover's word was worth more than most men's vows. She knew that his purpose was direct and honest, and yet she doubted. The tiny stone of suspicion began to roll. A question which Cicely was too proud to ask would have checked it, but it rushed on and became an avalanche that buried and crushed their happiness under its mass. Raymond looked on dazed. He could not understand. When it was too late, it was made plain. Cicely sat before her own fire in the dusk and looked quietly at the blazing logs. The light shone on her fair face and on her gleaming hair. Raymond stood and looked down at her, resting his arm on the mantelpiece. He was an honest man. He had no intention of speaking of even the love of the past to another man's wife, but beside the blank reality rose up in front of him the might have been of his life, and he eried out from the depths: "Cicely, why did you do it?" She started back and looked up at him. For one long minute the deep Yet when she was free once more Raymond went to her. His old faith was unmoved. It was a better sort of faith than any other she had inspired. Years had gone since she had seen him. She sat once again before the fire—this time in her father's home. And Raymond stood looking down at her. The face, above the black dress of her mourning, was as saintlike as old and seemed as young and unscarred. The long, gray eyes were as placid, but more deep. He did not ask now why she had done these things. Perhaps he knew. But he said to her, as though the time between bad never been: "Cicely, do you love me still?" And the sweet lips parted to say the words that they had never framed save for him, "I love you still." He reached out his hand and took hers. She tried to draw it away. "But you do not want me—now?" she said. He held her fast and answered: "I want you now." There was no doubt in his firm voice. "You do not know," she tried to tell him. "Yes, I know," he said, "and yet—and yet I want the Cicely who was my honest little playmate years ago, who was my trusted love in the past, who will be my faithful wife in the time to come. For old sake's sake, I want her, dear." She laid her tired head upon his shoulder and closed her tear filled eyes. "And for old sake's sake," she said, "you shall have her."—Gwendolen Overton in Argonaut. Walks Without Crutches I was much afflicted with sciatica, writes Ed. C.

Zola has agreed to come to the United States and deliver about 15 lectures, relating probably to anti-Semitism in France and to the trials of Dreyfus and himself. The arrangement is asserted to have been made with Mr. Edmund Gerson of New York and to have followed immediately upon the decision of the French government to grant M. Zola an appeal from the sentence of imprisonment lately pronounced upon him. An interesting detail of this report is that a sum approaching $60,000 is promised to M. Zola for his visit. One could wish perhaps that that detail had been omitted. M. Zola would undoubtedly excite great interest here and would draw full houses, but he most interests Americans at present in his character, lately assumed, of patriot and protestant against prejudice and injustice, and interest based on grounds of that sort is hardly suitable for conversion into cash. It is possible, however, that his recent experiences have been costly, and that he has more than ordinary need of money.—Harper's Weekly. Not Used to Fragile Pieces.

But the most remarkable custoe that which prevails among the chants of Tibet, a regular hand to fight being required to take place tween the seller and the purchaser the disposal of any considerable quantity of goods, the former obstinate fusing the price to which he had agreed, and the latter as resolutely ing it upon him.

Cloely sat before her own fire in the dusk and looked quietly at the blazing logs. The light shone on her fair face and on her gleaming hair. Raymond stood and looked down at her, resting his arm on the mantelpiece. He was an honest man. He had no intention of speaking of even the love of the past to another man's wife, but beside the blank reality rose up in front of him the might have been of his life, and he cried out from the depths: "Cloely, why did you do it?" She started back and looked up at him. For one long minute the deep eyes gazed into his eyes and saw there the futility of an irretrievable mistake. The curved lips grew white and parted and closed again. She turned and hid her face in her tightly clasped hands and bowed her head against the back of the chair.

I am, I suppose, an old fashioned person, unduly conservative in my notions; but I cannot reconcile myself to the last stage in the advance of woman—the sandwich girl. Twice have I encountered a procession of these damels, tramping the gutters in their pantomime costumes bearing the praises of Thingumy's cocoa or some other matchless compound on their backs and bosoms, exchanging chaff with the bus drivers and street boys and trying their best to look as if they liked the job. Of course I know that my prejudice will wear out in time, like the prejudice against railways, Wagner's music or home rule. Of course I know that the time honored sandwich man was an eyeore in our streets and that the genius of the advertisement contractor is going to replace him with something up to date, piquant and attractive. Of course I know that selfish masculine prejudices must not debar woman from her sacred right to earn her independence by any form of honest toil within her reach. All round, I am quite aware, I have "no case." But nevertheless I can't help wishing that we could do something better with our girls than that.—London Truth.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. THE CLERK'S MISTAKE. Thought She Was a Hayseed Because She Ordered a Kerosene Lamp. Just after the night clerk had come on at the hotel and curled his mustache to his liking his attention was called to business. "Kerosene lamp for 287," requested a bellboy. "Kerosene lamp?" echoed the clerk as he whirled the register about. "Let me see. Blondly and wife of Plunkerville in 287. I thought so. Never been in a first class hotel before. Go back and show them how to use the electric light. Wonder they didn't send for a tallow candle," and the clerk took several of the corridor loungers into his confidence. "Lady says if this hotel can't afford a lamp to send up a gas stove and send it quick," said the bellboy, who had made the round trip in phenomenal time. "She acts pretty hot." "Pretty cold, I should think. Go back there and open the register, show the lady how to use the water faucets and how to turn off the electricity. Thank the Lord, she can't blow it out." The next word from 287 came with a rush. It was brought by a vision of loveliness, dressed in bewitching style, her face flashed and her blue eyes throwing off sparks. "Make out our bill and receipt it at once," she said as her dainty foot beat time on the marble tilting. "But, Mrs. Blondly" "Attend to my order, sir. Include in your bill a carriage and an express wagon to transfer us and our things and tell Mr. Blondly when he comes in that he will find us at the other house, where we will spend the rest of the season. Understand, we must go at once. I want to go to a hotel where it will be possible to warm some milk for baby before the little angel starves to death." Then the loungers had fun with the clerk, and the best he could muster was a sickly grin.—Buffalo News. TURF TALKS. The Fort Wayne purses will aggregate $85,000.

"The Great Lakes" is the subject of an article in St. Nicholas. The author, W. S.

The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles .5577 6953 Orange .2888 6953 Riverside .3400 6957 San Bernardino .2350 1122 San Diego .2988 6919 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles .5544 Orange .4159 Riverside .2947 San Bernardino .2777 San Diego .1022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Over $7,000 horses were sold at auction in East Buffalo during 1897. Royal Victor, pacer, 2:08¼, will be in the stable of Hiram Fox this year. It is said that Newcastle, 2:11¼, will attempt to beat the two mile record in the fall. Mocking Bird, pacer, 2:08½, by Manbrino King, will be in the stud this season. The paceer Neil Aloyoner, 2:16¼, is said to be going very fast in the stable of W. L. Rhodes.

Bollinger, ex-sheriff of Santa Clara county, has a colt by Booile, 2:11¼, out of the dam of Our Boy, that is threatened with speed. It is said that Mr. Monroe Salisbury is buying up Montana horses of the pack train variety and will take them to Alaska and go into the freighting business. Beauty and Strength Are desirable. You are strong and vigorous when your blood is pure. Many—nay, most—women, fail to properly digest their food, and so become pale, sallow, thin and weak, while the brightness, freshness and beauty of the skins and complexion depart. Remedy this unpleasant evil, by eating nourishing food, and taking a small dose of Herbine after each meal, to digest what you have eaten. 50c at J. P. Hatzfeld's. HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

Growing Old not to mean growing weak and sick. It does not mean weakness or penalties for those who eat with good taste and sound digestion. It is of most importance that old people old retain the power to digest and illuminate food which is the sole source physical strength. When age brings penalties it is generally because of the need to assimilate the nutrition condied in food. J. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is diseases of the stomach and other uses of digestion and enables the perdigestion and assimilation of food. Invigorates the liver and promotes mental physical well-being. Is with gratitude we acknowledge what Pierce's medicine has done for grandmothood, in fact it has cured her, writes Miss Ranker, of Ferryburg, Ohio. "She had heard several physicians but found no until Dr. Pierce advised her what to do. She was only three bottles of 'Golden MediDiscovery' and is entirely well. She sat with pain in kidneys, bladder and liver for years, and her limbs were swollen with so bad she could hardly walk. My grander's name is Mrs. Caroline Henneman, her age years. I will gladly answer all letters of try." And There're Mighty Useful Habits.

A Lake That Never Gives Up Its Dead. "The Great Lakes" is the subject of an article in St. Nicholas. The author, W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Superior: Another very interesting and very sad thing about this lake is that it never vives up its dead. Whoever encounters terrible disaster—happily infrequent in the tourist season—and goes down in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never joins up again. From those earliest days when the daring French voyagans in their trim birch bark canoes skirted the picturesque shores of this noble but relentless lake down to this present moment those who have met their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the stone paved bottom. It may be that so very cold is the water some of their bodies may have been preserved through the centuries. Sometimes not far from the shore the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishing smacks or from pleasure boats overtaken by a cruel squall have been recovered, but only after the most heroic efforts with dragnet or by the diver. On on a trip down the lakes I met a olergyman who, as we passed a point of land some miles before entering the narrowing of the lake at the Soo, pointed out the place where the ill-fated Algoma went down on the reef some eight years ago, and as he looked he said slowly: "I was at the funeral of one man who went down with her, and the only reason his body is not at the bottom today with the other $8 that were lost is because it was caught in the timbers of the vessel and could not sink." I have had occasion to use your Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and am pleased to say that I never used anything for stock that gave half as good satisfaction. I heartily recommend it to all owners of stock. J. B. BELSHER, St. Louis, Mo. Sick stock or poultry should not eat cheap stock food any more than sick persons should expect to be coared by food. When your stock and poultry are sick give them medicine. Don't stuff them with worthless stock foods. Unload the bowels and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possible to cure it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. It causes every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and it will pay for itself ten times over. Horses work better. Cows give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. And hens lay more eggs. It solves the problem of making as much blood, flesh and energy as possible out of the smallest amount of food consumed. Buy a can from your dealer.

Miss Rohrback, who lives at No. 73 Amsterdam Avenue, New York City, and is Treasurer of the Woman's Progressive Union, wrote the following story of her experience: I am satisfied that half the doctors do not know what really sills their patients, while you have carefully studied the needs of the sick and worn-out, and have skilfully prepared a reliable remedy which will cure in a short time. Two years ago I began to feel "run-down," the extreme heat of the summer nearly prostrated me, and when fall came I was ill prepared to take up anew the burdens of life. I had headache; backache and was very nervous; scarcely able to sleep more than two hours at a time. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and was delighted with the result. Within a week I was sleeping splendidly. Continued using the 'Favorite Prescription' for eight weeks, and then stopped, for I was perfectly well. Ever since then your medicine has been my 'Favorite Prescription,' too. I recommend it to every one. Young very truly Miss May Rohrbach. To Dr. R. V. Pierce. The reason Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription acts as such a restoring tonic and strength-builder for run-down women is because it fits the needs of the womanly organism. It is not a "patient medicine" in the common view of that term; it is a ready-to-use prescription, put up under the direction of Dr. R. V. Pierce, who, many years ago, used this medicine in his large practice in all those cases where his women patients were run-down, nervous, or suffering from considerable pain at stated periods, due to irregularity or diseases of the female organs. It is not like many of the so-called tonics advertised these days, because it does not depend upon alcohol or upon any narcotic for its effect. It is purely vegetable in its composition and without alcohol. Miss Nannie E. Kyle, of Volant, Lawrence Co., Pa., had a somewhat different experience from Miss Rohrbach, but with the same result as has been the case with thousands of women before. Please accept my thanks for the good your "Favorite Prescription" did me, also for the advice sent. I had been suffering for some time from pain at stated periods and impaired general health, when I noticed your advertisement in one of our papers. I decided to write you for advice. Received a kind reply telling me just what medicine to take, and giving other advice which was very valuable, and which, I am sure, assisted much in the cure. I purchased "Favorite Prescription" and soon felt much better, so of course continued its use for some time. I would advise every woman in poor health to write to Dr. Pierce for advice, as he will take an interest in every case submitted to him, and will send a kind letter in reply. Respectfully yours, Miss Nannie E. Kyle. To Dr. R. V. Pierce. The diseases which weaken and torment women, may in almost all cases be cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be used with "Favorite Prescription" whenever a laxative is required. Chas. Boykin, of Acme, La., Concordia Parish, speaking of his wife's experience, says: I write you thanking you for the benefit of your wonderful "Favorite Prescription," and also the "Golden Medical Discovery." I find that your remedies have done more good than all the others that I have used. I thought my wife would die at times; now am able to say that through you and your medicine we have a fine boy two months old. Weight three days after birth, 18 lbs. It is a wonder to the people to see my wife going about with a baby. She is able to do her own housework, can walk six miles with baby without stopping and feels as though she could stand all day; so healthy, she can eat anything. Before using your medicine my wife's weight was 122 lbs., and now she is weighing 175 lbs. She only used 12 bottles of your medicine. My mother-in-law, also my sister, have been cured entirely of uterine trouble by your "Favorite Prescription." Yours respectfully, C. Chas. Boykin. To Dr. R. V. Pierce. The first experience of maternity is often followed by a quick convalescence which gives no hint of loss of strength as the result of the trying ordeal. Youth with its undrained vitality makes for the young mothers' health and happiness. But later maternal experiences bring a different result. The care of a family, multiplied household duties, and very often weakness caused by womanly disease, tend to prolong the suffering of maternity and to make convalescence a slow and weary process. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription prepares the wife for maternity. It promotes the appetite, cures nervousness and sleeplessness, and gives a consciousness of buoyant health. It gives great muscular strength and elasticity and makes the baby's advent practically painless. It is unexcelled as a strengthening tonic for mothers during the period of convalescence. Weak and sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All correspondence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y.

Hired Webster For a Week. Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Nantucket man is told to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution in an amusing way, however. He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket the week in June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was a contest with a neighbor over a matter considerable local interest, and his side as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the particulars and asked what would charge to conduct the case. "Why," said Webster, "you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there, he whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every case on the docket as well as one, and it wouldn't cost any more, for one case could take my time for the entire week anyway." "All right, Mr. Webster," quickly responded the Nantucketer. "Here's your $1,000. You come down, and I'll do it so you can try every case." Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He sent the entire week in Nantucket and appeared on one side or the other in every case that came up for hearing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel at all his friends who were in litigation and received in return about $1,-500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot.—Boston Herald.
