Not Satisfied With Solitude.

Edward Trafford is represented as the
hayward son Of rich parents resident
in old England. Three years ago he
appeared in Denver, then sought out
favorable location in a sequestered vale
with pine trees fringing it, and there es-
tabllshed a ranch. He furnished his
home With costly paintings, fine car
pets and $500 piano. He wearied of
a ranchman's life, and now the herders
enjoy his fine things. He went back to
Denver and played the gentleman
around town. Some time ago the Lin
CARDS, accompanied by Miss Emma
Dunning, played an engagement at
Denver. Iratford spooned to the young
actress and she cOttOned to him. The
Llngards were going west to Frisco.
and thence to Australia. Trafford fol
lowed on. They were about to sail af-

Frisco, when Tratiord thought his time

The SueZ Canal.
From the London Examiner

FROM tIlc LOlIuon r1anlIer-
NJ. de Lesseps has often been asked
how the idea of making a canal across
the Isthmus of Suez occurred to him
Every intelligent child, he says must
have asked his teacher why the little
neck of land between the Red Sea and
the Mediterranean could not be dug
through. The answer to such a ques-
ton has always been that there were
two insuperable difficulties-one the
difference in level between the two
seas, and the other the shifting sands
of the desert, which would fill up a
channel as fast as it was made. NJ. de
Lesseps first began to inquire seriously
into these difficulties in 1919, when he
had retired from diplomatic service
of nearly thirty years to the peaceful
pursuits of farming. His connection
with Egypt was of long standing; he
had at one time been French Consul to
Alexandria, and his father had repre-
scented France in Egypt before him.
BY 1852 he had convinced himself of
the practicability Of making a canal
across Suez, and had submitted his
plans TO the Porte, but the Porte de-
cided that 1t did not concern Turkey.
and he went back to his cattle and his
farm to wait for more favorable time.
His opportunity came i'll 1851. One

MOsT men are afraid of bad name,
but few fear their COnsciences.

CoNsUMPTIvEs, TAKE NoTICE.-Every moment
ofdelay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of q remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption, far
exceeds all that be brought to support the pre-
tensions of any other medicine. See DR.. Schenck's
Almanac containing the certificates of many per
sons of the highest responsibility, who have been
restored to health, after being pronounced incura-
BILE by physicians of acknowledged ability.
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many,
as these evidences viii show but the cure is often
promoted by the employment of two other rem
edies which Dr. Schenck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remedies are Schenck'S
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills BY the
timely use of these medicines, according to direc
tons, DR.. Schenck certihes that most any case o.
Consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
phia, every Monday, where all letters for advice
must be addressed.

:. Facts are Stubborn Things"

Thousands of human beings are
yearly borne on the swift current of disease
down to the grave just because they do not
possess a sufficient knowledge of themselves.
A man meets his neghbor, and the
first salutation is, How are you?" or
" How is your health ?" The reply
frequently is, "Oh, | am well, with the
exception ola cold" Most persons lightly re-
gard a cold. Reader do you know that cold
is one of the most dangerous of maladies? A
cold not only clogs up the pores of the en-
tire system, and retards circulation, but it is
productive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to
lead to Consumption. "Oh, you say, Z" it
is nothing but cold in my head" True
but that cold is really a mild form of Catarrh,
and if not arrested in its course will become
chronic. Catarrh is one of the most disa-
greeable, offensive affections in the catalogue
of diseases. The passage to the nose is OBJ
structed, the sense of smell impaired, and
there is disagreeable sensation of pressure
IN the head. In the more advanced stages
there is a discharge having an offensive odor.
If the disease be allowed to continue in its
course, thick, hard incrustations will form in
the head, the bones of which sometimes be-
come sOftened and break away in pieces.
Why will persons continue to suffer from
such an annoying, disgusting disease, when
they can just as well be cured of it? DR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst
forms of Catarrh in fact, it is the only sure
and safe remedy which has yet been offered
to the public. Many harsh, irritating prep
aratlons may, for q time relieve the ur-
gency of the symptoms, but they do not
cure the disease. DR.. Sages Catarrh Remedy
is soothing and healing i'll its effects and
when used with Dr. Pierce's Nasal DouChe,
according to directions, does not fail to eff
feet cure Sold by all druggists-Com

Varieties in Fashions.

A faShlOn journal says: A new belt,
called La Juive, is of black velvet, en-
broidered with real bullion that will not
tarnish. The gold or silver threads
are in long stitches close together, form
ing branching pattern that is very
effective, especially when worn with
black dresses and quaint gold or silver
jewelry, such as bangles, dog-collar,
chatelaine, and ear-hoops. The belt
costs $40
Overdresses of solid" Valenciennes
lace-that is, without muslin-are made
of stripes of wide insertion edged with
broad lace. The overskirt is shawl
shaped, forming a deep apron with tabs
behind The jacket fits the figure
closely. Price $500.
Arabesque lace is linen handmade
lace that is very effective for over
dresses, especially when worn above
velvet. 1t comes in quaint palm and
arabesque figures, and is made of linen
cords and thread A cuirass without
sleeves, and square overskirt to match,
will cost S160.
A luxurious garment for winter is the
French quilted petticoat. 1t is lighter
than those brought from England, as it
is wadded with elder down. The lining
is opera flannel of finest quality. There
are scarlet silk petticOatS lined with
white flannel and edged with ecru cash
mere lace; pale blue silk skirts are
edged with white linen lace, or else a
heavy Nalenciennes; rose-colOred skirts
have rose flannel Innings and a plating
of rose silk on the bottom. They cost
from S14 to SIG. Silk stockings are
chosen to match the petticOats
The foreign fashion of wearing color
ed underclothing is fast being adopted
here, and most trousseaux contain sets
of ecru or rose twilled silk-chemise,
drawers and skirt-elaborately trimmed
with insertion and lace This does not,
however, exclude the fine linen batiste
and percale underclOthing now worn by
women of wealth
There are also house costumes of taf-
feta or of twilled silk made to be worn
until two o'clock instead of regular
morning robes These consist of a
skirt of ecru or rose silk trimmed with
a deep plating edged with Valen-
ciennes. To wear with this Is a loose
long overgarment of the silk, shaped
very much like the long square cloaks
now in vogue. The long seams behind
begin in the shoulder seam, and the
front of the garment is much longer
than the back. This morning dress is
very graceful and is being made up in
black silk lined with rose or blue twilled
silk. Muffs of Russian silver fox are
lined with fur and stuffed with the finest
elder down TO make them light as well
as soft and warm. The shaded silver fox
muffs are the handsomest, and cost,
with boa 10 match, 500.

The Honest Man Who Pays.

There is one among the many,
Can you tell me where he stays?
He's an old, old.fashioned party,
Called the honest man, who pays;
Yes-the honest man who pays
Every dollar he may owe,
Keeping up the good old ways
That SO many scarcely know.
If he gives his word of promise
IT'S bond as good as gold;
If he holds post of honor,
Not trust is ever sold.
By the honest man who pays
Every debt he may incur,
Yielding each just reward,
And no grudging OF demur.
And Pm told this rare old party
Lives-within his income, won
By the fairest, squarest dealing
We see beneath the sun.
And the honest man who pays
Always holds it good and right,
For the rich to help the needy
When the times are tough and tight.

The Brides Trial.

1t is strange what different esti-
mates people will put on mans
character, according to the eyes with
which they may view him. In the
opinion of some, Mr.. Benjamin Bene-
dict-not our hero, exactly, but the
next thing to it, his uncle-was gen
tleman, scholar and aphilanthropist;
while others, quite as well qualified to
reason and decide, wondered that such
a monster was allowed to walk the
earth unchallenged. For old Bene-
dict was just that sort of a man to
provoke and please in alterations
a human March day, with streaks of
sunshine and chilling gusts sand
viched through his nature People
who knew him liked him passing we'll,
but it sometimes took a lifetime to
know him as he really was.
"You will be sure to like my uncle,
darling" said Hugh Benedict to his
young wife. He is eccentric, but
he is sterling
Rachel did not answer, but her
blue eyes were wistful and full Of
perplexity. Uncle Ben, whom she had
never seen, but of whom she had
heard much, was to her an inscruta-
BILE riddle, whom she feared more
than she was willing to acknowledge.
For Hugh's future depended to a GER
tain extent on Uncle Ben Benedict,
and with Hugh's future her own was
bound inseparably.
She was a fair fresh-looking girl,
with velvety cheeks, bronze bright
hair, and features as correct and deli
cately cut as a cameo. Hugh was
quite certain Uncle Ben could not see
her without loving her; but then these
young husbends are not apt to be i'm
partial judges.
She was sitting in the freight at
their lodgings, when the old gentleman
first beheld her and the only warning
shs had of his presence she saw re-
fected in Hugh's eyes.
"My dear, how do you do?" said
the old gentleman, kissing Rachel on
both cheeks.
And she thought he was not so ter
rible after all
He turned to Hugh, when he had
thus rather unceremoniously made
himself acquainted with his niece-in-
law.
"Well, young man, are you ready
to leave these rooms and 90 to your
new?" he asked for be it known that
the old gentleman had given Hugh
and Rachel present of new house,
wherein they were to live.
"Quite, sir" Hugh answered very
cheerily.
Shall it be tomorrow p
Eyes"
"All right"
And Mr.. Benedict sat down to spend
the evening and enjoy himself.
"Well, sir ?" said Hugh when his
uncle was taking leave, aud paused
on the doorstep to light his cigar.
"Wsll, sir?" said uncle Benedict
calmly.
"How do you like her?" asked
Hugh.
"How can tell?" demanded the
old gentleman irritably. She's pret-
ty to look at, so is china doll or
white kitten. 1t isn't always the pret-
tiest calicos that wash the best. Good
evening.
And Hugh Benedict, albeit he was
very fond of his uncle, didn't know
whether to be vexed nor not.
Early the next morning, however,
Uncle Ben made his appearance be-
fore the young couple, breathless and
eager.
Trunks packed, eh?"
"All but the last one, uncle
