store. The deacon is to be congratulated upon
this change. In his more accessible quarters he
does not feel bit proud or put on airs. He
will very largely increase his stock OF goods,
and, in proportion to his ability the better to
serve his customers, he will increase his en-
deavors to oblige and please them. Give the
worthy deacon a call. There was large and
enthusiastic demonstration on the common,
last Friday night, by the democracy, over the

there was one thing Mr.. Jagson liked
better than another it was whisky.
He could drink as much as any man in
the country, and when the motion to
imbibe was made it was ably seconded
by him. SO the keg was passed. Each
man, as the key came to him, took it
up and drank from the bung-hole, no
cup being at hand.
When the keg reached Mr.. Jagson
he took it tenderly by each end and
raised it tenderly to his-nose. Here
was bitter disappointment, indeed.
He was thirsty; the whisky was before
his face; it was free; but not drop of
it could he get.
Drink hearty, Jagson," said his
friends, while he essayed to get his
mouth to that bung-hole. SO near and
yet so far At the next house a cup
was borrowed for Mr.. Jagson's use.
Notwithstanding the suffering and
trouble which his nose brought him. it
was also the means Of putting him in
very lucrative position, he having been
employed by the national board of
health to search for yellow fever and
cholera germs. But here again was
trouble. 1t was believed that yellow
fever patient had escaped from quaran-
tine, and Mr., Jagson was put on the
trail. He followed it to house, but
found the door locked. He tried to
put his eye to the key-hole to see if the
man he wanted was in, but his eye was
too far back from the end of his nose,
and the scheme was failure. He re-
ported his ill-luck to the board and re-
signed, and soon after died of a broken
heart. Traveller.

last she brought the young wife over
her way of thinking; and the result
Of the interview was, that the Thomp-
sons carriage stopped for Stella that
night, and, looking like picture in
her rich dress, she drove away with
her friends TO Mrs. Barclays.
1t was a scene from fairy-land. For
two hours Stella moved about in q
maze of delight. She danced, and
promenaded, and sang. and was qnite
the star of the evening; and all the
while, undreamed of by herself, the
black clouds were gathering over her
young head. H..
Once or twice the thought occurred
to her:
Burton knows by this time whether
his speculation has succeeded or failed
whether we are to be very rich or beg
CARS. But" and the red lips compress
ed themselves firmly, and a strange
light came into the pansy-blue eyes,
''if we are to be beggars, at least
shall have the delightful memory Of
this, my last ball!'
Poor child, it was indeed her last
ball! About midnight some one enter
ed the crowded ballroom in wild haste
and an eager voice asked, anxiously
for Mrs. Conway. Old DIR. Dent the
family physician of the Conways, came
to Stellas side, pale and agitated.
You must come home, Mrs. Con-
way" he said, aud Stella thought that
she had never heard him speak so
sternly. "I-I-have bad news for
YOU"
She faced him with wild cry. Some
thing told her the truth.
MY husband?" she painted.
Yes. your husband (pardon me,
madam, If / seem brutal, but must
be brief, is dying. 1t seems that he
finished his business in St. Louis i'm
mediately, for he found on his arrival
there that his grand speculation had
succeeded, and he was a millionaire.
He decided TO return home at once,
that he might attend you to this ball;
so he got on board the lightning ex-
press-which reaches her at 6 D. m,
madam-there WAS a collision, and
and-he is at your home waiting for
you"
Half an hour later she stood by his
side. Waiting -ah yes, but the meet
ing would not be here, for Burton Con-
way was dead. And (pitful sight to
the heart-broken wfeD one cold hand
grasped velvet casket containing a
magnificent set of diamonds.
He had died alone, while she, in the
midst Of scene of revelry, had missed
his dying words! All, she would have
laid her life down gladly to have look
ed into his eyes once more, and have
heard him say, II forgive you. little
wife" But regrets were useless-it
was too late!
A fortune was hers; he had won it
for her and placed it all in her name;
she had, too, the coveted diamonds
but oh, how happy she would have
been in cabin with him who lay there
before her with deaths mysterious seal
upon his brow.
One year later beautiful Stella Con.
way was placed in an insane asylum,
hopeless maniac, raving continually of
diamonds and blood-money, and cali
ing herself the murderess Of her hus-
band.

Mr.. JaGson's Nose.

Mr.. Alvin Jagson, although an honor
able gentleman in every other respect,
had very long nose. To be sure that
was no fault of his. but it detracted
very much from his personal appear
ance, standing. as it did, full three
inches in its stocking feet, and right in
the centre of his face. OF course the
nose belonged to him, and if a man
wants to carry an overgrown nose on
his face it is nobody's business, but
people will talk, you know, and many
were the remarks that were pointed at
the elongated proboscis of Mr.. Jagson.
True they didn't say anything about it
in the gentleman's presence, but among
themselves they wondered how one
small head could hold all that nose in
its proper position.
Small boys regarded the ungainly
protuberance with awe, idling about in
his vicinity for hours awaiting an OPP
portunity to hear him blow it.
MIR. Jagson was bachelor, not from
choice, but by force Of circumstance.
He once courted pretty maiden with
as much ardor and with as fair chance
OF success as any young man in the
country. Sylvia Gill was to him the
fairest Of the fair and to her he paid
court. At first she disliked his pres
ence because Of his repulsive looking
facial adornment, but as she came to
know him better she overlooked the
nose in consideration of his many other
graces of form and mind. In fact, as
time passed on she felt that she loved
him, nose and all.
At last Mr.. Jagson determined to pop
the question. Dressed in his best suit
he sought the home Of his adored. She
smiled sweetly as he entered. They
sat on the sofa. Taking her hand in
his he said:
II love you, Sylvia, dear; will you
be mine?'
EYES," came the answer, low and
sweet.
Then he bent over her to take
lovers kiss. All! how often misfor-
tunes ovcrtake us when we least ex-
pect them. Here were two hearts full
Of love and hope, two trusting souls
looking forward to a happy union and
a life Of unalloyed bliss, but the rude
hand Of fate laid its blighting power
upon their happiness, MIR. Jagson's
nose was in the way. His first effort
brought his nose against her cheek,
and two mouths, that had been ex-
pectantly puckered, got left. Drawing
back and taking careful survey of the
field of operation Mr.. Jagson returned
once more to the charge, but with no
better success than before. Then he
tried to kiss her on the cheek and stuck
his nose in her eye.
Then Sylvia spoke.
"Mr. Jagson,' said she, 1--WE can
never be more than friends"
"Why dearestP"
II will never marry man whom l
cannot kiss"
Mr.. Jagson implored, but Sylvia was
firm, and he found his fondest hopes
crushed by his long nose. He never
tried to kiss woman again. du
He suffered many other disappoint-
ments because of the length of his nose,
some Of them most bitter. For instance,
he was going home from the city one
evening with party Of friends In a
wagon. A tfve-gallon keg Of whisky
was also in the wagon, and it was not
long before motion to take q drink
came up before the house. Now II

Il Pale, Poor, Puny and PalIid.

Considering all the ills that attack
little children, it is a wonder that
5 any of the poor little youngsters
live to grow up.
There are children who are truly
objects Of pity. They seem almost
bloodless. Their cheeks are thin
and pinched; their eyes are hollow;
and their skin is tightly drawn
over their foreheads. There is
nothing hearty about them. They
do not enjoy their lives. They are
suffering from the debility that
leads to marasmus. Poor things!
Do a good deed for the pale,
poor, puny, pallid child. Hand its
mother a bottle Of Broun's Iron
Biaeys. Here is life even for the
most delicate, the most debilitated;
for the child almost given up for
dead. Iron in the blood is what the
child needs to bring it up. The
little digestive apparatus will re-
cover. The pale cheeks will fill out.
The weary groan of the child will be
exchanged for the merry prattle Of
iufantile gladness. Your druggist will
tell YOU what wonders B,olonj bps
Biae,y has done for very sick children.
