eighty-two years, hasn't he, dad?'
"ADout that" thonghtfully returned
the old gentleman, "and his example
is forgotten already" "Not by every
body" added the truthful lad," az
didn't forget it." And when his sire
glanced out the window and observed
that his favorite fruit tree had been
reduced to a wreck, he turned in and
made liar Of that boy for life.
"Do you like pie?' 1t was in sum-
mer that Gwendolen Mahaffy spoke
these words to Ethelbert Quirkson as
they sauntered back from the croquet-
ground to the house. Ggendolen had
hit her corn instead of croquet ball,
and as the blow fell there came such
feeling of desolate loneliness, such
wistful yearning to howl and swear,
that she had looked into Ethelbert's
eyes with her own dusky 0rbs and said,
in the low, musical voice whose every
tone thrilled Ethelbert with sweet,
rapturous, for. 50-cents thrill, that
she really must go and help her dear
mamma get supper-shc loved so dear
| ly TO help in all household matters that
mamma had so often said that who
ever got her for wife would never
need to hire girl-and merry laugh
was trilled from between the wine-red
| lips that Ethelbert had so often made
up his mind to kiss, and then weakened
when the time came.
He bent tenderly and lovingly over
her now, listening to every word she
said, believing it all. Nothing could
have shaken his faith in the girlish in
nocence of Gwendolen, and he loved
her with passionate alteration that
knew no bounds, To him she was
erfection-whateve she did was
right, and whatever she said was his
gospel.
1t is even betting that he didn't know
her front hair was a bang.
| Reared amid the solitudes of St.
Louis, and having only nature for
| companion and teacher, his childlike
| faith was not to be wondered at.
Eyes, Gwennie, DEAR" he said, 81
am very fond of pie"
"And do you love me as much to-
day as you did last tuesday," she
asked, changing the subject in her inn
pulsive, North-Side way.
"Better, far better, my darling"
Ethelbert replied, in tones that were
trembling with tenderness. "My love
for you shall never falter, never fade,
but always be greater, stronger, and
more beautiful than before. Into that
love have woven the best efforts of
my life, and she to whom it is devoted
shall ever be the shrine at which my
soul shall worship"
Unfortunately there was nobody with
a club in the immediate vicinity.
81 can make pies" said Gwendolen,
smiling archly as she spoke.
Can you, darling" in low
earnest tones.
"Why of course" responded the
girl.
Then" said Ethelbert, calmly but
| firmly, ''don't do it. Somebody that
you liked might accidentally eat one of
them"

ATranauiI Nervous system

Can never be possessed by those whose digestive
and assmilative organs are in state OF chronic
disorder. Weak stomachs make weak nerves. To
restore vgor and quietude to the latter, the first
must be invigorated and regulated. The ordina-
~ sedatiye may tranquilize the nerves for while
but they can never, like Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers remove the causes Of nervous debility. That
superb inyigorant and corrective of disoreered
conditions of the alimentary organs has also the
effect of imparting tone to the nerves. The deli
cate tissues of which they are constituted, when
weakened in consequence of imr'verishment OF
the blood. resulting from imperfee digestion and
assimilation, draw strength from the fund of Vi
tally developed by the Bitters. which imparts the
required impetus to the sutritive functions Of the
stomach, enriehes the circulation, and gives tone
and regularity to the secretive and evacuatiye
organs.

Senator David Davis does not enjoy
protracted sessions of the Senate when
dinner is waiting. The other day, says
an onlooker at the Capitol, when dinner
hour was close at hand and no end
was visible of the dull oratory of his
fellow-statesmen, the actirg-vice-Presi-
dent became very uneasy. He fidgeted
about in his chair as if seated on net
ties, and endeavored, by expressive
looks. to induce some one to move an
adjournment. These tactics proving
of no avail, and seeing certain Senator
rise to begin aspeech which was certain
to be two hours long and exceptionally
dull, he grasped opportunity by the
forelock, and exclaimed: There being
no further business before the Senator
from--has the floor, and moves to
adjourn. All those in favor of that
motion will say, Aye; those opposed
will say No They ayes have it, and
the Senate stands adjourned" and
before the would-be orator could re-
cover from his bewilderment, the
portly Senator from Illinois was half
way to the cloak-room.

Ieneled Underwear.

One of the recent caprices of fash
ion in New York is the wearing OF
jeweled garters. A mother presented
her daughter, about to be married,
with beautifully made pair of elast-
les, with her monogram in pearls, a
court o. arms with frosted stork heads,
crest of gold and motto set in dia-
monds, which cost $1,000. Of course
very few of that kind are sold, but
800 and 5000 garters, deliberately work
ed and with costly ornamentation, are
very common. and the taste is growing.

The "Aone Star state. :"

The question of how the name
Lone Star State" came TO be applied
to Texas is not generally known. An
exchange gives the following as being
the true explanation.
Prior to 1888 Texas belonged to
Mexico. In 1885 provincial govern
ment was formed and Gen. Sam Hous-
ton chosen its commander-in-chief,
who drove the Mexicaus out of Texas.
Santa Anna, President of Mexico, in
yaded Texas with an army of 1900
men, but was repulscd and driven out
of the territory, and Texas became an
independent republic, which, in 1887,
was acknowledged by the United
States, and, in 1910, by England,
France and Belgium. Propositions of
annexation had been made to Presi-
dents jackson, Van Buren, aud Tyler
by the Texas government, but in each
case rejected, as tending necessarily to
a war with Mexico, that power having
repeatedly declared that she would re-
gard that step as a declaration of war,
never having acknowledged or recog-
nized the independence of Texas. In
1874 the Democrats made the annex
alton question the main issue of the
campaign. They appealed to the sym
pathies and patriotism of the people

therefore to him, and to him alone,

true, it has cost him much valuable

He is accustomed to such things. and
the matter Of few dollars and i little

to his energy than otherwise. Would
