THE ROMANCE OF Welded LIFE
"James, dear, will you bring me up hod
of coal from the cellar?" said a busy wife.
That's just the way with you," said
James with black frown, as he put down
his book and rose up from the lounge.
'Just the way with me?"

see me enjoying myself, you have some
chore or another for me to do. Didn't you
see was absorbed in my reading?"
"Well, dear, l will do it myself"
"Yes, and tell everybody, your mother es-
pecially, that you will have to carry your
own coal up flom the liar. No; I'll do 1t.
Let me mark my place.
So he marked the place in the book at
which he had ceased reading, and when he
went down to the cellar, grumbling all the
way, she picked up the volume and found it
was q love story, and that the passage lie
had been absorbed in was as follows:
''My darling when you are my wife, will
shield and protect you from every oare;the
winds of heaven shall not visit your face
too roughly, those pretty hands shall never
be soiled by menial tasks, your wish shall
be my law, your happiness
Just then he reappeared, aud dumping
the hod on the floor, said: "There's your
darned coal. Give me my book"

jug of spring sarsaparilla was just as
necessary in the "winter supplies" of fifty
years ago as was a barrel of pork, and
famous medical authority says that the
very general prevalence of the use of such
a preparation as Log Cabin Sarsaparila ex-
plains the rugged health of our ancestors.
While Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla
is an excellent remedy for all seasons of the
year, it is particularly valuable in the
spring, when the system is full of sluggish
blood and requires natural constitutional
tonic and invigorator to resist colds and
pneumonia, and the effects of long winter.

A few bottles of Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparila used in the family now will
save many week of sickness and many a
dollar of bills. Use no other. This is the

There is no other preparation of similar

worth.
While the great doctors wrangle over the
technicalities of an advanced medical sol
ence that can not cure disease, such simple
yearly snatch millions from

A NovELIsT's WASTED YoUTH.-Opie
Ried, editor of the Arkansap Traveller, and
author of the forthcoming novel, 'Len
Gansett, tells me an interesting little story
about Thomas Nelson Page, who was made
famous by the charming little story, "Meh
Lady," published two or three years ago in
The Century. Page was poor boy strug-
Cling against his very nature to be a law
yer in Virginia town. He had the itch to
write, and he did write this story, '.Meh
Lady" Some of his friends said it was
well told, and he thought so himself, so he
sent it to the Scribners, who were then pub
fishing The Century. He never heard from
them and could not fetch an answer to any
of the letters he wrote about the NATTER
Supposing they had thrown his manuscript
away, and knowing that that story was as
good as he could write, he gave up the idea
of writing and pushed on in the law as best
he could making very scant living
Twelve years after that he was surprised
to receive check from The Century for the
story which was then printed. Twelve
years that struggling young mans fame
lay tucked away in the dust of pigeon
hole, and he, unconscious that it was there
felt satisfied that he was a failure as a
writer. Twelve years, the best years of his
life, he wriggled along, making sort of a
living in a profession for which he had not
genius, while he might have been writing
beautiful stories for the pleasure and profit
of the reading world.-Chicago Times.

Preaching His Own Faneral.

ATHENS, Ga, March IA gentleman
from High Shoals tells ofthe peculiar prep
arations of an intelligent old minister OF
that section. He says Mr.. Pridgins, an ole
and respected preacher, has suddenly de-
cided to preach his own funeral sermon,
and has set for the day, the second Sunday
in April, and the place little church a few
miles this side of High Shoals.
Mr.. Pridgins has ordered his son to make
him coffin, which he directs must be per.
fectly plain and locked with paddock. He
says the coffin will be placed by his side in
the church, and there, in the presence o
his friends and family, who are requested
to wear mourning, he will tell of his life
and pay suitable tribute to his his own
memory. The news has been spread rapid.
ly all over the surrounding counties, and il
is thought that the little church will not be
able to hold the vast congregation.
MIR. Pridgins is thought by some to be
very eccentric, but is considered by his
neighbors one of the smartest men IN the
county. He has been a minister of the Cos
pei for many years and is extremely popu.
lar in his neighborhood. His mind is per
fectly clear on all subjects, and he is unu.
sually well informed for country preacher
He desires that the press be present at the
funeral to occupy seats in the amen cor
ner As yet he has made no disposition::o
his body after the sermon is over, and it is
thought that be will then retire to his home
and lead quiet life until the time comes fol
him to occupy his coffin for good. AS YET
no pail bearers have been selected, but all
arrangements will be made for the funeral
before the eventful day arrives. A large
delegation from here will probably attend
