NO OCCASION TO FEEL BAD.
Loquacious Little Miss Who Was At
tending Her Fathers Second Marriage.

Loquacious Little Miss Who Was At
tending Her Fathers Second Marriage.
Hattie NJ, the daughter of q Bos-
ton clergyman, was permitted to at
tend the ceremony of her fathers Sec
ond marriage, and, under the care Of
her auntie, travelled part Of the way
with the newly-wedded couple-who
had determined that no one should sus-
pect the recent ceremony by any act of
consciousness on their part. In the
meantime the terrible child had lefther
seat, unobserved, and as the train came
to stand-still, amid the usual silence
ut such a time, the shrill small voice
was heard distinctly from the end OF
the car:
.'I've got beautiful new mamma.
I've got her to-day! Want to see her?
She's over there (pointing with fear
full exactness at the blushing bride).
That's my beautiful new mamma! The
old ones dead and gone to Heaven
s'pose this one'll be dead pretty soon,
and then I'll have two up there!" AT
this point the small informant was
suddenly arrested and taken to her seat
by the mortified auntie in charge, while
the last words audible to the passengers
were: ''Why, auntie, you needn' t feel
so bad! I guess they're all glad enough
to hear bout my beautiful new man.

HEALTH AND STRENGTH.

Complete heart-ease and free
dom from aches and pains fol-
lows the use of Dr.. Guysott's
Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla.
1t gives tone and strength to
every part of the body, and is
especially efficacious in curing
diseases brought on by func-
tional arrangements, such as
impure blood, aoeab kidneys,
poor digestion, etc., causing
heodaches, constipation, sores,
pinaples, urinary sediments,
aching joints and limbs, lame
back, general weakness, u'ai-
Uersag t0Ssitude, ETC., etc.
Under the influence of this
excellent remedy the heart beats
regular, the blood circulates
with vim, the lungs breathe easy,
the kidneys and liver grow
healthy and strong, and the
whole physical organization be-
comes more capable of endur-
ance. Thought and action are
compassed with greater free
dom, and the individual ap-
proaches as near perfection as
healthful humanity is capable.
Unfortunates who seek health
do themselves great injustice if
they fail to try this excellent
remedy. 1t is as far ahead of all
other preparations Of sarsapa-
rilla, blood purifiers. tonics, bit
ters, ETC., as gold is superior to
silver. THOUSANDS have attest
ed to its worth as q sure reUiUer
of health, strength and Uigor.
Eg Remember to have your
druggist get it for you, and
take no substitute.

SABLE ISLAND.
The Charnel-House of the North American
Continent.


A land of sand, and ruin, and gold.
-Suinburne.
The quotation is almost literally ex-
act. Scarce anything but ruin and
sand is this bane of ocean-farers, the
Isle of Sable. And though there may
be indeed but little gold herein, yet is
there no lack of costly merchandise
washed upon its avaricious shores, and
none can tell the riches which lie hid
in the sands secretive bosom. Sable
Island. 1t is a name to conjure with,
raising, as it has created, more phan-
toms than any other spot in the Allan
tic. 1t is name, when the fog is
thick and the winds are veering fitfully
off the southeast of Nova Scotia, to
whiten the lip and cheek of the hard
lest mariner. The island has been
given another name-'.The Charnel-
house of North America" Neverthe-
less, this place of horrors has strange
fascination for those who visit it-vol-
unfairly! The sepulchre is well whit
ened. Though full of dead mems
bones. the island is kind to its dead.
The clean, unresting currents roll them
and wash them, the clean sands swathe
and cover them away. But one holds
ones grave in this island on frail ten
ure, for the tickle winds and capricious
waters love to discover again even what
they have most carefully laid from
sight, and will shift one last couch
many times in the course of quarter
century. After every violent gale,
when calm has returned with clear
nights, may be seen unknown bleached
skeletons ''revisiting the glimpses of
the MOON" while others, by the self
same wanton gale, lave been Tapped
away again in sandy burial.
The Isle of Sable is in great part
deposit of the drift of meeting currents.
Vast eddies, from the contact of the
Gulf Streams edge with two branches
of parted polar current, circle about
the island. eating away and rebuilding
it continually. 1t is the nucleus of the
densest fogs, the vortex of the widest
storms of the North Atlantic. Its shape
is roughly that of crescent, twenty
two miles long by one in width, and a
shallow lake divides it longitudinally.
1t is moving eastward before the pre-
vailing winds, and rapidly decreasing
in size When first set down on chart,
by Pedro Reinel, in 1905, its magnitude
was more than as great again as we
have it now. On Reinel's chart its
name is ''Sanda Crus. o--The Current.

Not Influenced by Petitions.

Washingtno Critic.
81 think that 1 can throw some light
on the reason why Offices seekers
backed by long petitions find little
favor from the President" remarked
a well-known journalist to Critic
man.
"Ah, proceed to unfold"
'Some years ago when Mr.. Cleve-
land was Mayor of Buffalo number
of his enemies organized conspiracy
to GUST him. One thing they did was
to draw up petition requesting him
to resign. Knowing how good-na-
tured business men generally are in
the matter of signing petitions, never
reading them but signing whenever
asked, they took the petition around
to a number of Cleveland's own
friends. Sure enough, they all put
their names down on being asked.
"When the petition came to Mayor
Cleveland he was considerable sur
prise to find the names of many OF
his best friends on the paper. Now
you know that Mr.. Cleveland is moi
man to do anything hastily. He die
not jump to the conclusion that his
friends had become d1sgusted with
him. lie suspected that there
was some mistake. He Sent
for some of his friends whose name:
were on the petition, and then h
found that they had been entirely
| ignorant of what they were doing
when they signed the paper, Tha
little incident clearly proved to Mr.
Cleveland that numerously-signet
petitions are of no yalure; and that
| why the mentioned ones aud thos
with miles of names supporting then
are not in favorite with this Admin
istratioD."

She receives calls, but the duty OF re

ceremonies where rrecedenae is col
sidertd, the CaiIne5 officers rank al
cording to the order III which they
were established, the State Department
coming first, next the Treasury,
the War, Navy, Po5toffice, and

on the list than the ENJOYS whose
wives precede Miss West. Secretary
Bayard made the point that his daugh-
ter should be given her mothers place,
but what points Mrs. Manning, Mrs.
Endicott, Mrs. Whitney and Mrs.
Villas will make in return re-
main to be seen. 1t is hard
ly possible that Mrs. Man
ming, whose social ambition was the
chief reason for her husbands ac-
ceptarce of a Cabinet position, enjoys
going in after the unmarried daugh-
ter OF one of his colleagues. Mrs.
Endicott, who has the bluest blood
and the oldest name in Massachusetts,,
with wealth and the highest social
position, will hardly stand the anomal-
Gus condition of things, nor is 1t ex-
pected that Mrs Whitney, with her
wealth and social ambition, will accept
the situation. These three ladies,
who are already marked out as the
leaders of official society, are expected
to assert themselves Oh the next oc-
casion, rnd their followers and disin-
terested people are waiting to see how
this first Cabinet question OF the fc-
male side will he settled.
