His Wifi Nnt Satisfied

President Lincoln had been during our
stormy weather TO visit the camps of the
generals in Virginia, and taken a violent
cold. Mrs. Lincoln was in despair. and one
day said to Secretary Stanton 81 do wish
you would lock Mr.. Lincoln out of the
rooms for week He is ill enough to be in
bed now, and suffers agonies with his arms
from acute rheumatism. l don't know what
to do. He goes cut and keeps at work ev-
cry moment"
Mr.. Lincoln waved his long arm at the
Secretary, saying, "Well Stanton, there
ought to be one comfort to my poor wife
anyhow-the same that the poor man JEFF
ferson had, whose only son died. Did you
ever hear the story?
sHis friends, family, neighbors and
church lamented, extolled and grieved over
the loss, at the funeral when Jefferson him
self arose aud said, My dear friends We
have the blessed consolation of Knowing
that everything was done that could be
done. He was bled twenty-f0ur times in
twenty-four hours But he had no strength
and had to die.''
Snow, I've been wrapped in no less than
tweuty-four pieces of red flannel and lint
ment since yesterday, and still my wife Is
not satisfied. Wide Awake.

THE FRONT GATE.

An old and crippled gate am l,
And twenty years have passed
Since I was hung up high and dry
Betwixt these posts so fast;
But now I've grown so powerful weak
Despised my man and beast
I'm scarcely strong enough to squeak,
Although I'm never creased.
Twas twenty years sgo, say,
When Mr.. Enos White.
Came kind of hanging round my way
Most every other night.
He hung upon my starboard she,
And she upon the other,
Till Susan Smith became his bride,
And in due time mother.
groaned intensely when 1 heard
Despite am no ehurl-
My doom breathed in single word: ~
The baby was girl,
And as she grew. an i grew and grew,
loud bemoaned my fate:
For she was very fair to view,
And II was the gate,
Then, in due time, lover came.
Betokening my ruin,
A dapper fellow, Brown by name,
The grown up baby wooin'.
They sprang upon me in the g!cam,
And talked of moon and star.
They're married now and live at home
Along with ma and pa.
My lot was happy for year,
No counting night or day
1 had no thonght, had no feer
But luck would come my way.
But oh, this morning. save the mark
There came a wild surprise,
A shadow fitted grim and dark,
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor, with q knowing smil",
nurse with face serene.
A hustle in the house awhile.
Great Scott what can it meap?
My hinges ache, rny back is weak,
My pickets in whirl;
hear that awful doctor SPEAK:
1t is another girl.

People Wonder

WHEN they find how rapidly health

saparilla. The reason is that this
preparation contains only the purest
and most powerful alternatives and
tonics. To thousands yearly it proves
veritable elixir of life.
Mrs. Jos. Lake, Brockway Centre,
Mich, writes: oliver complaint and
indigestion made my life a burden
and came near ending my existence.
For more than four years / suffered un-
told agony. 1 was reduced almost to
g skeleton, and hardly had strength to
drag myself about. All kinds of food
distressed me, and only the most deli
cate could be digested at all. Within
the time mentioned several physicians
treated me without giving relief. Moth
ing that took seemed to do any per-
manent good until 1 began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which has pro-
duced wonderful results. Soon after
commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I

BEAUTY PREPARING FOR CONQUEST

Before the looking-glass she stards
And combs her rich and glossy bair,
The golden threads glide through her hands
And ripple o'er her shoulders fair.
We marx her fingers nimb'enes,
The movements of her supple waist,
Until we see each silken tress
Imprisoned in Psyche twist.
The bangs upon her snowy brow
With gentle touch she smootheih down;
The work is done; she's ready now
To don her most bewitching gown.
The dress becomes her charmiD>ly,
And of the fact she is aware.
But oft she tnrns herself to see
No crease its beauty doth impair.
A collar round her swan-like neci'
She fasteus-snow beglrt by srow;
With various trinkets doth bedeck.
The charms that could their aid forego.
Last. ties, her beauty to enhance
Around her throat a ribbon ga!,
Then gives the glass a parting glance
And to the parlor takes her way.
She enters radiant as the morn
When soft the perfumed zephyr blows.
And rosy tints the sky adorn
And dewdrops sparkle on the r'se.
The youth for whom she thus is armed
Is by her lovelipess abashed,
He stares, is fascinated, charmed.
In short, incontinently mssbeG

A little neglect may breed great mis-

Beware of little expenses; a small lelk

One of tho Brightest Charms

Of fair face is a fine set of teeth. The Ia
dies being fully alive to this fact, patrosize
SOZODONT in preference to any other
dentrifrice, since they know by experience
that it preserves like no other the pristine
white0ess and cleanliness of the teeth, and
makes naturally sweet breath additional
ly fragrant. 1t is one of the privileges of
the beour sea to look lovely and that pro-
portion of it which uses SOZUDONT, has
learned that the article contributes in no
small degree to the end in view. All drug
gists sell it.

SIX WAR SHIPS SUNK.
American and German Vessels
Lost Off Samoa.
Many Officers and Men Of Both
Nationalities Drowned.

Dispatches from Samoa state that the
American men-of-wa Trenton, Vandalia
and Nipsic and the German men.of-war
Adler, Olga and Eber were driven on reef
during a violent storm and totally wrecked
OF the American crews four officers and
torty-si1 men were drowned, and of the
German crews nine officers and eighty seven
men lost their lives.
The storm occurred on March 16. It was

The American war ships wrecked were all
attached to the Pacific station under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Lewis A. Kimberly +,
whose staff is as follows: Captain Norman
H. Farauhar, chief OF staff; Lieutenant Henry
Greenleaf A. Merriam, secretary.
The Trenton was ship.rigged wooden
cruiser, and was built in 1876. Her displace-
ment was 5000 tons. In 1851 she was made
the flagstaff of the European squadron, and
continued in that capacity up to the time OF
this disaster.
The Trenton was considered the best
wooden vessel in the navy. She was built at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The Nipsic was the best known OF the
United States war vessels at Samoa She
-
arriving at Apia last November.
She had long been rated in naval circles as
second-rate cruiser, having wooden hull
bark rigged. She carried six guns, mostly
smooth bore, in her main battery. She had
a displacement of 1875 tons
The complement of the Nipsic was l74 ma
rines and blue jackets, although some Of her

Captain Fritz who commanded the Adler,
was one of the seamen and fighters Of whom
Germany was proudsst
