II don't know, ma'am," he an
swered politely. "It belongs to
the railroad, you know; but IN see

give it to you"
She grew purple and said:
''You don't understand me. I
mean can l take t?"
"Well, I don't know about that,
either. You see it is fastened very
firmly to the car floor, and would
be troublesome to get up; however,
I'll have carpenter to come on
board at the next station and ask
his advice"
II don't want to take the old
thing" she howled. "Is this your
traps on it Z"
"No'm," blandly answered the
drummer ''they belong to the firm
I travel for"
"Well, can I sit down here7" she
finally screamed, after shifting from
one foot to the other.
II don't know, madame; you
are the best judge Of your muscular
powers"
"Where do you travel fromp she
screamed.
"Chicago," he replied.
'That settles it," she said meek
ly: twill you please move your
valise, and permit me to occupy a
small portion of this seatf''

THAT BAD BOY AGAIN.

"That evening at the supper Ia
ble," said the boy to the grocer as
he rolled an orange on a barrel head
to make It soft, 1--WE got to talking
Of spinal meningitis, and pa said
some Of our best citizens were hav-
ing it. He said it was an aristo-
cratic disease, and it was a oompK-
mont to a mans standing in society
to have it. / asked him what the
first symptoms were, and he under
stood it was a cold feeling along
the spine. The next morning I
took about two quarts Of pounded
ice, and filled the two pistol peck
cts of pas pants with i, and tho
tail pockets Of his coat, and he put
on things and come down to break
fast. He said the dining room vas
cold, and he rubbed his hands, and
occasionally looked sort Of scared,
but he sat down to breakfast. He,
had not sat there more than min,
ute before he told ma he didn't want
any breakfast, and he went and
lay down on the lounge, and pretty
soon pa began to call for ma. Shy
went to him and told him he look
ed sick. Pa said he was. He said
he had got the aristocratic disease,
and didn't care who knew it. He
kept getting cold, and finally con-
cluded to send for a doctor, and l
went after him, but I didn't hurry
back. Ma, she had q quiet talk
with pa on his condition, and made
him believe he was overworked, and
made him promise to to lot politics
alone and try and lead q different
life. Pa got better before long and
sat up, and when he found his coat
and pants all damp from tho pound
ed ice he said he guessed he had
sweat the disease entirely out Of his
system.-[Peck's Sun. Z

By its searching and cleansing quali-
ties it purges out the foul Corrupti0nS
which contaminate the blood and cause
arrangement and decay. It stimulates
the vital functions, restores and pre-
serves health, and infuses new life and
vigor throughout the whole system. No
sufferer from any disease of the blood
need despair who will give AYERS
SARsAPARILLA fair trial.
1t is folly to experiment with the nu-
merous low-priced mixtures, without
medicinal virtues, offered as blood-puri-
fiers, while disease becomes more firmly
seated. AYERS SARsApARILLAi is medi-
cine of such concentrated curative power,
that it is by far the best, cheapest, and
most reliable blood-purifer known.
Physicians know its composition, and
prescribe it. 1t has been widely used for
forty years, and has won the unauali-
fed confidence of millions whom it has
benefited.
