Colonel N. V. Whitman of Brooklyn returned
from his vacation feeling In perfect health. AS
a result he was careless The next thing was
cold; then pneumonia; then death. Nearly all
physical troubles start with cold, and this is
Just the season when 1t Is most easily taken.
Some sudden change checks the action of the
body, clogs the circulation and lays the foun-
dalton of death. Stop the cold in its start aud
you stop the disease. A cold requires the
''stitch''in time"
There are many ways of attempting to stop
a cold but all physicians now agree that there
| Is only one sure way aud that is, by the use of
pure stimulants. The pores must be opened
| the circulation aroused aud vigor awakened.
Nothing now known to the world does this so
certainly as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. 1t is
a remedy, not d beverage. 1t has been used
| for years and is the most popular remedy be-
| fore the public. Doctors, clergymen and tenn
perance people generally indorse 1t for its
health-giving qualities, and 1t has become a
family necessity.
| Rev. B. Mills OF Meade Centre, Kansas, says:
| ~ anu Presbyterian clergyman, Doctor of
| Divinity, not of medicine, but am not afraid
10 say that Duffys Formula and Duify's Pure
| Malt Whlskey arc the purest aud most effect

Many inscriptions dealers claim that they
have something lust as goodn Beware OF

Dining with n King.


To dine with the King of siam was the
rare privilege of an Allegheny County
lady recently. Miss Kate n. Flccson,
of Neville Island, was the lucky guest,
and letters have just been received by her
friends giving an account of the royal
feast Miss Fleeson left Pittsburg year
ago next month as Presbyterian mis-
sionary TO the far-away land. 1t re-
uuired almost seven months continual
travelling before she reached LalStwn,
her destination in Siam.
II appears that the King and Queen
both regard Protestant missionaries with
favor, and the cvangelistic work IN their
domains has received many marks of
imperial pleasure. Miss Flecson, with
several other missionaries, was in Chleng
Mai about the middle of June, several
days before she came to the end OF her
Journey, The Kings invitation TO the
marty TO dine in their new summer palace
was conveyed by the Queen. 1t was ac-
ccptcd, and 10 was understood that IT
would be nothing more than an informal
dinner.
When the party entered the palace they
,ynrc shown to the general reception
chamber, and were seaed on divans up
holstercd with Persian rugs. DRINKING
mugs of gold and silver were then gwen

A MODERN ROMANCE.
story of Young Man and His
Love.

Love.
Here is u nuptia story that shows how
hard it is when romance faces stern real
ity. A certain handsome young man in
far off foreign land, connected with a
banking house, became acquainted with
Philadelphia lady who transacted some
money matters there He fell in love
with the heiress and showed his ardor by
travelling long distances to be near her.
She returned to Philadelphia, he fol-
lowed, was accepted and they were mar
ricd. But the young man, with the eco
nomic ideas Of his fathorland, found that
fashionable wedding in this land OF cx-
travagance was q more expensive matter
than he had imagined. The arrange
ments were no sooner well under way
than he discovered that il would cost five
or ten times as much to be married in
style here as it would at home. lie did
not mind the passage over of his best
man and relatives. but the estimates for
the caterer the florist and so on, were
what went against his grain.
Every move, he found, cost enormously
here, and in vain he tried TO reduce the
impending outlay. AS it had been given
out that he was rich he had assumed as
his share of the wedding arrangements
giving reception and supper after the
ceremony. 1t also became apparent that
the lady's fortune was not large. The
question of remittances became inn
portant to the bridegroom. Many weeks
have now passed since the wedding fes-
tivities, and the bridegroom is anxiously
sought for, though his whereabouts arc
| at present unknown. Florists, musicians,
wine men and various others who con.
tributed to the joy of that nuptial feast
are all in state of anxiety, wondering II
the bridegroom will turn up, or If his
remittances are on the way Phila
