A Dream of Fair Wome0,

Tennyson in his exquisite poem,
dreams OF a long procession Of
women'of ages past. This is all very
well, but the laureate would have
done the world m greater service
if he had only t6el the women of
the present how they could inn
prove their health and enhance
their charms. This he might easily
have done by recommending the
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Health is the best friend of beauty
and the innumerable ills to which
women are peculiarly subject, its
worst enemies. Long experience
has proven that the health of wo-
mankind and the "Favorite Pres
scription" walk hand in hand, and
are inseperable. 1t is the only

All Sorts Of Tramps.

In dealing with the tramp nui>
sance citizens and officers should
bear in mind the fact that there
are two classes OF tramps-the
professionals and those who are
simply cut of work.
Some time ago a tramp was ar
ranged before a St. Louis court.
The judge had it in bis power to
send him to the rock pile for six
months. Bat the magistrate was
in a kindly mood that day. 1t
struck Vim that the tramp had a
good face and that it would be a
pity to lock him up with thieves
and perhaps ruin him forever. So
the Judge turned the fellow loose
and loaned him a quarter.
Six months later the ST. Louis
jude received letter from his
friend, the tramp. The writer res
turned the quarter with thanks,
and stated that he had a good pay
ing position and was dong ex.
ceedingly well in asouthern iron
town. He had been tramping on
ly when he had been looking for
work. All that he needed was a
fighting chance in the battle of
lie.
1t is well enough 10 be hard on
professional tramps and VICIOUS
Migrants, but a man may be idle,
half starved, dirty and shabby, and
still be an honest victim of mis-
fortune, and anxious to earn his
daily bread. 1t is cruel and shame.

Pay Promptly.

To pay ones honest debts prompt.
ly, when due, is an obligation that
it is too frequently disregarded. TO
estimate the serious inconvenience
and often loss caused by this fail--
ure to meet promptly ones obliga-
lions would indeed Be a d'ffcult
task: however, it is easy to see how
a failure to pay ones debts, when
due, may involve a creditor il
ruin.
This failure TO faithfully keep a
promise to pay, is not always, nor
by any means the result OF an in
ability to fulfill the promise; but is
rather the result of habit of de-
ferrir g the performance Of il until
a more convenient SEASON. l.,

ure to pay debt, when promised,
is always the result of a dishonest
motive fore there are times when
misfortune 50 crosses ores path
way as to hinder, for time at least
the performance OF the promise.
Still, in some instances, it may be
said t. smack somewhat of dishon>
esty, for ifone has in his possession
the meaus with which to pay a
debt that is due and uses it tor
another purpose, thereby to benefit
himself, is 1T not equivalent to
using, for his own worldly profit,
that which rightfully belongs to
another?
The stability Of the commercial
world is largely dependent upon
the faithful performance of ones
contract.
A man should never make a
promise to pay unless he is reasona,

with its forms, and having made il

A NINETEENTH CENTURY JONAH
A Sailor's Remarkable Experience
With Il Whale.

With Il Whale.
j. w Kessler. late commanders
clerk, United States navy, now a
resident Of Honesdale, Pa, told
the following story to Philadel>
phia Press reporter of the vety re>
maFkahle experience of an Ameri-
can sailor with a whale. George
Leonard was one OF the crew of
the ship Enterprise, a whaler in
, the North Pacific.
One day he was stationed in the
bow Of a Ehaleboat a long Dist nee
from the ship, with a brave crew
who had sighted a whale and made
Tor the monster with all possible
dispatch. When within proper
distance, Leonard threw his har-
poon, striking the fish hard and
deep. In some manner the line, aa
Il was runHing out, caught the
body OF one of the men in such
q way as to throw him overheard.
The man suddenly sunk, whereup.
on Leonard transferred his line to
a boatman and sprang into the
ocean in aid of the drowning sailor.
The whale, now maddened by his
fast downing blood, made ruol
for the boat ~
: Remark able and horrible to re-
late, Leonard's friend had man-
aged to regain the boat, while be
was caught by the whale between
his jaws, his position being inside
the monsters mouth, with nothing
protuding but one of his arms. In
this manner the man was in reality
within the jaws OF death itself. The
whale instantly plunged into the
deep, and in the words of Leonard
himselfy "the fish seemed to be go>
ing down, down into eternity it.

The imprisoned man, after all
this, had not lost his presence of
mind. He mustered Ills entire
DO lily strength-and lie was
powerful actually hracing
himself in such a position as to
compel the fish to spread his jaws.
At the same time, with his arm
that was free. he grabbed the
sheath-knife out of its socket, cut

than Leonard fer ed his body out
