Romance in High Life.

NAN
don't dare to tell who she is, said
an old New Yorker, but there is as
pretty little romance connected
with well-known society lady,
whose name is often seen in print, as
novelist ever put in book.
In her girlhood she lived in home
ly cottage on the outskirts of New
port, the famous watering place of
the rich and fashionable. BY her
neighbors she was known as "the
farmers pretty daughter" He titled
the soil, furnished the big hotels with
its products, while she MIXED the
COWS, and picked berries that supplied
his customers. The cottage was a
favorite stopping place for ladies in
driving, for they were always sure of
a glass of cool, fresh milk, and lus-
cious dish of fruit.
One day the old farmer forgot to
leave a basket of strawberries that
had been ordered by rich old artist
ocrat named-well, call her Mrs. Van
Brunt, that's near enough-and on
his return home, told his daughter to
take them to her rooms at the hotel.
Kate was at first reluctant, for she
was we'll bred, proud, and thought
herself as good as anybody, money or
no money.
She went, however, was cordially
received, and left not only the fruit,
but an impression that changed the
current of her life. Mrs. Van Brunt
had a young son, handsome, clever,
and with a heart like photograph
plate. In the conversation that fol-
lowed, the wit, beauty and sparkle
of the pretty country girl were rev.
elation. 1t was an agreeable inter-
upton to the monotony of their fash.
| ionable lives.
| After this interview, Mrs. Van
Brunt was a frequent caller at Little
Cottage, and as often accompanied by
her stalwart heir, who never failed
to insist on seeing 1.-THE young lady
who prepared such delicious berries
and milk" +
On one of these occasions, Mrs
Van Brunt, who had become very
fond of the farmers daughter, asked
her if she would not like to go abroad
and be her guest for a couple o
months. OF course, in any ambitious
girls mind there could be but one
answer, and after consulting with he
parents, she pronounced an unmis
taxable yes. All the arrangement
being made, the trio, mother, son
and rustic belle started on the trip

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SHERMAN February 24-Stewart, the II
year old son If DR.. j. o. Scott, went to
his fathers Office to-day. While examin-
ing the contents of an old desk he found
a stick of dynamite, which farmer had
left there to be sent 10 his
home for blasting purposes. The boy
did rot know it was dynamite,
and, thinking it was tube filled with
plaster, TOOK it home with view of clean
ing it out and converting it into a whistle.
When he reached home he procured a
needle and attempted to pick out what he
supposed to be PLASTER. The friction of
the needle caused it to ignite and ex plode,
tearing away several of his fingers. He
is also badly burned. He narrowly es-
capped losing an eye. The injuries re-
ceived are very serious.

the morning. sort of sticky slime col

door. There is a feeling like heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes a faint,
all gone sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach which food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken. the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After awhile a
cough sets in, at first dry, but after few
months it is attended with greenish-
colored expectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep does not
seem to affordauy rest. After time he
becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebC lings. There is q
giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in

tended with palpitation of the heart; the
vision becomes impaired, with spots be-
fore the eyes; there is feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All of these
symptoms are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third of our
population has this disease in some of its
varied forms.
1t has been found that physicians have
mistaken the cause of this disease. Some
have treated it for liver complaint, others
for kidney disease, ETC., ETC., but none of
these kinds of treatment have been at
tended with success; for it is really con-
stipation and dyspepsia. 1t is also found
that Shaker Extract of Roots, or Mother

prepared, will remove this disease in all
it's stages. Care must be taken, however
to secure the genuine article.
