/. 3. Scott With His Wife, Now Employed

now employed, with his wife, 10 the
repair department of the Lord Bros.
Jewelry company, Grand avenue.

ishing and trimming department, at
Rockford he had charge of the re-
pair department and at Aurora per-
formed all the adjusting to tempera-
ture for a period of nine months.
At his present place he is given the
most intricate work, and nothing is
too difficult for him to do in the line
of watch making. Since coming to
Milwaukee he has changed key

has had years of experience in the
business.

MRS. GLADsToNE's KINDNESS,
How the Great Statesman's Wife Treated
a Pretty American Girl.

A pretty American girl recently
called upon Mrs. Gladstone at her
London home. She carried a most
favorable letter of introduction as a
member of we'll known American
family. Her brightness and sparkle
attracted the wife of the great Eng.
lish statesman, and for an entire
afternoon and evening she lived in
the Gladstone household. She con.
fessed to Mrs. Gladstone that her
visit had purpose-that of writing
an article on the home life of her
hostess for an American magazine.
"But, my DEAR" said Mrs. Glad
stone, "your people are interested in
Mr.. Gladstone; they do not know
me-"
"That is just why l came, " replied
the girl. sin order that Americans
may learn little more of you"
At the tea.table, Mr.. Gladstone
joined with his wife in. entertaininr g
the American girl, and few were ever
given better opportunity of seeing
the Gladstone home-life.
The quiet part which Mrs. CLAD
stone has played in the career of her
famous husband is known to only a
few. While thousands of articles
have been written Of Mr.. Gladstone,
none Of an authoritative character
have been printed of his wife. Even
her portrait is seldom seen in the
English shops; rarely in the prints.
She has always felt that public inter
est in her own country and across
the sea was centered in her husband,
and in order that his greatness might
stand out more strikingly, she has
each year further retired from public
view. A freshness will, therefore,
attach itself to the story "A Day
with Mrs. Gladstone" as it will be
told by her bright young visitor in
lite Ladies' Home Journal, of Phila-
delphia, during the coming year
This article will be one of the series
Of unknown Wives of Well-known
Men," which this excellent magazine
will contain during 1891.

Talking of patent medicines
YOU know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0syytAlng and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff" you lose faith in e0e1y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of it's doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy

The Zetetic Philosophy.

The Zetetic philosophy, which
proves absolutely and without a shad-

but establishes its conclusions upon
facts alone. Many Of these facts are
of such a nature that not TO know all
about them will soon be deemed a sin
of ignorance.

surface of standing water is level,
