Postal CARDS.

When postal cards were first issued,
about six years ago, their noveltypro-
yoked some fault-tinding, and they
we're made fun Of as ''stingy," "shab.
by }" unsafe" etc. But they were
cheap, and the critics soon followed
the example ofthe people. Now Gas
an exchange remarks the postal card
has only two enemies-the man who
receives duns on it and the manufact
ures Of writing-paper.
The little postal causes a decrease
Of from twelve to fifteen million dollars
every year IN the business OF the writ
ing papsr trades in this country.
Postal cards are made at Holyoke
and forty men are continually employ
ed at their manufacture. The card
board is furnished in packages of thre,
thousand each, and every sheet is mad,
into forty postaIs. Three presses ar
kept going night and day. A machiu
Sits the sheets into strips Of teI

into single cards, and dumped in pile
Of twenty-five each, when they al

A PhYsioian's Advice Of How to

HApRlsRrRe, Pa, March 30, 1881
Nothing is more charming and at
tractiye than throughly healthy per-

rosy, laughing, joyous, happy-faced
girl, one who finds keen pleasure In
merely living. An invalid wife or
mother is constant object of sympa-

men folk enjoy perfect health. In
my practice 1 have always recom-
mended sickly women to use Browns
Iron Bitters. In case of Irregularities
dyspepsia, indigestion. heartburn,
nausea, sour stomach, nervousness
and exhaustive debility, find it ex-
ceeds all other remedies as q true
medicinal tonic. 1t never falls to
gently soothe, refresh and strengthen
the general system, and especially
tsose parts made weak by continued
distress and what satisfies me most
is, that the cnres. although in some
instances gradual, are always pcrma-

He Was Too Devoted.

1t was his vacation, and they were
seated under the branches Of great
apple tree. contentcd with each others
society, and silently cojnmuning with
nature. His arm had inadvertently
found its way aronnd her slender form,
and her head had gradually found a
resting place upon his manly padded
shoulder. They were dreaming of the
happy days to come, when together
they should walk over the. varied
pathway Of life, when. she suddenly
turned her melting eyes upon him and
half whispered:
"Will you always be SO contented
with my society Aady?"
(liis name was Adolphus. and she
called him Addy for short.
"Always. darling" he mmmured,
and the pressure about ber forla in.
creased.
"You will never, never grow tireI
OF me, but constantly remain by my
side?"
"Constantly, Angy," he said Her
name was Angelina.
Remember. Addy dear, we arc to
be together for lifetime. You are sure
that you will not weary OF my pres
ence?"
"Sure," he whispered fervently, as
no brushed button from her dress,
"Angy, | will be always at your feet;
always close to your sweet form to
guard and protect my treasure from
the dangers and trials of this wicked,
bad world" and he looked volumes
of love into her blue eyes.
"You will never, never desert me
for another woman; you will keep
firm in your loye. and remain faithful
until death calls one or the other Of
us to a better world?" she asked,
switching large fly from her ear.
Nothing that folks might say will
ever tempt you to desert my sidc?"
Nothing, nothing, Angy," he said
"The whole world might rise up
against you. but it would find
me still steadfast in my love. Oceans
may separate us, we may bc parted
for years, but neither time nor space
shall influence my devotion. I'm
yours till DEATH" he said psssiouately,
as he grabbed a large beetle which
was slowly making It's way up hi'
leg. "Yes. yours till death, my pear
beyon--"
"Here, let up" she said suddenly
edging away from him. Il dom
know about that. You are altogethe
too constant. Inever could stand Sc
4 much devotion. I'm not one OF thos'
girls who enjoy having a man knock
ing around under foot all the time

Her Gratitude.


Coming down Michigan avenue a
lady in we'll filled car saw woman
dashing across vacant lot at the
corner of Twelfth street, and whirling
her parasol in vain endeayor to catch
the eye of the car driver. The lady
Immediately arose and pulledthe strap.
The moment this was done the wo-
man checked down her speed and
walked slower than boy going home
after pla, truant. AS she reached
the car she deliberately lowered her
parasol, looked back down Twelfth
street, and slowly entered.
The lady, meantime, had been
squeezing along to make room for the
new conner. That individual looked
up and down both sides Of the car
with a git-up- and-give.me-a.seat ex-
preston, looked at the space provided
for her with sneer, took step to
ward it, then stopped. as if she would
say: "Sit along further. There isn't
room enough for msl'' and then flop
ped herself into the space, thrusting
her parasol, which,she carried in the
hollow other left arm, into her bene-
iactor's face, turned and slowly, de-
liberately and supsrciliously looked at
the lady's hat. her ear ornaments, he.
dress, and then turned from her with
You're a nobody" expression Of
countenance, and commenced taking a
mental inventory Of all the hats and
dresses in the car. Not one word OF
thanks to the lady who had stopped
the car, and crowded along to give
her seat; only an insulting stare,
that, in a man. would put them IN
danger Of being caught by tho nape oil
the neck and thrown into the street.

Dan Rice Divorced.
rhiltaelphla Tin,es.

'uciphih Illess
Dan Rice, who was the best known
Snowman in the country .wenty.liys
years ago, has experienced strange vi
cisitudes during the last ten years and
has varied his professional career with
occasional experiments in the line Of
religious exhortation and temperance
crusading. Yesterday the court of
Erie county granted his vile a divorce
on the ground Of desertion and thus
terminated what was in it's earlier DAYS
very romantic union.. In 1916 the
Snowman was exhibiting in Girard,
Erie county, aud his attention was at
tracted by remarkably beautifulchild
in her nurses arms. He asked her
name, and, on subsequently fixing his
residence in Girard, he kept up live
ly interest in the girl. who was the
daughter Of leading citizen, deacon
in the Presbyterian Church and presi-
dent Of the local bank. At that time
Dan rolled in wealth and spent his
money lavishly, not only in the erec
ton Of a magnificent house, but in
adorning the town. He was married
to ali e,timable woman; who had been
on the stage. and about fifteen years
after his arrival in Girard she sued for
and obtained divorce. Shortly af-
terward Dan carried off his youthful
inamorata, mncli against the wishes
Of the paternal deacon, who disinheri-
ted his daughter, but when Dan failed
