Wonderful Medicine.
II Your Liver Reminds You

OF its existence by dull pain or sharp twinges

shoulder blade, accept the reminder as
warning, and regulate the organ without
loss of time, by the use of Hostetter's stom-
ach bitters. The above symphonic are
skin, constipation. furfed tongue, disorder
of the stomach, sick headache and morn
ing nausea. But q reform is promptly
instituted by the bitters. the best possible
substitute for calomel, blue pill, and other
supe1-potent and hurtful drugs enormously
designated a. remedies for blliousness.
Appetite and digestion are restored, and the
bowels resume activity. when an impetus is
given to the functions of health by this
sterling anti-bilious medicine, which also
has the effect Of enriching and purifying
the system against malarial infection in air
or water. 1t 10 also highly bene6cial for
rhsumatism, kidney and bladder troubles.

As Guy L'Estrange began retracing
his steps along the road, the face of ma
ture seemed to have changed-at any
rate, for him.
The nearest way home was by Lock
ley woods, and these he entered through
a gap in the hedge.
1t was, to a certain extent, private
property, and tramps and gypsies would
have been ordered off it.
But Guy L'Estrange, owner of the
park, was privileged, and he swung along
the beech and oak avenues as if he had a
right there.
His mind, in fact, was strangely con-
centrated on one thinS-a desire to reach
the lodge as quickly rs possible, to see
May (from whom he had been separated
only a couple of hours and to be sure
she was safe and well.
Guy ridiculed all kinds of present..
ments, and everything of like nature,
and yet he was i'll at ease and nervous;
SO much so that when, presently, a female
form suddenly appeared from amid a
clump Of trees, he started violently.
1t might have been because he was
plunged in reverie; but, at any rate,
the fact remained, and with half bow
he turned rapidly aside to avoid the
stranger.
She advanced quickly, however; and
before he had time to realize what was
happening she had placed her hand upon
his arm and thrown back her veil, re-
vealing face of exquisite beauty.
She looked IN into his face with a
GLANCE in which aaoer love and fear were

She had taken hold Of his ,chits muscular

Clare Raymond, the daughter of Mrs.
Raymond, May Fielding's guardian, was
four years Mays senior, and during all
those long, long months which had
formed the period of the courtship of
her friend and her lover, she had suf-
fered torture unspeakable.
She had set her heart upon Guy when
first they had met. years before.
Even in those days, however, when
May was only IA and Guy 81, she was
his favorite and companion.
And as time passed, the bud blossomed
out and ripened imperceptibly though
surely. and without any display of mock
modesty or self consciousness. May Field
ing drifted from her position of the child
playmate of Guy L'Estrange to that of
his betrothed bride.
Clare had seen all this, and used des-
perate means to avert such calamity.
Failing all else. she had opened her
heart to her wondering mother, and en-
treated her to send May away to school
before it was too late.
But this was not to be.

The Reporters Were There to Re-

port.
Philadelphia Press letter on Presidents Tour.
The President was accompanied all
through his tour by his stenographe r,
Mr.. Tbbott, and by representatives Of
the press associations. 1t was their
duty to be as near him as possible, to
miss nothing of what he did or said.
They accompanied the President by his
sense members of the Presidential
party The local committees however,
seemed to take special delight in rele-
eating the correspondents to the rear,
where they could catch the echo of the
Presidents words, perhaps, and where,
perhaps, they could learn what the To-
cal committee thought of the President.
AS it was their duty to report to the
country the doings of the President, and
not the sayings of the local committees,
they were often under the necessity of
forcing their way to the front with
what might have appeared, under 9th
er conditions, to be very unseemly
haste At Kansas City, for example,
as we stepped out of the station, a
member of the local committee, with a
long carriage list IN his hand, an
nounced that the reporters with the
the tenth carriage ''What is the mat
ter with this carriage ?'' we said, as
the fourth carriage drove up. There
was a great deal the matter with that
carriage. Four members of the local
committee were snugly installed in it,
and evidently they had made up their
minds to stay there "There are plenty
more carriages behind" they said as
the driver whipped up his horses and
the carriage rolled off. Marshal Rams
dell. who had not yet obtained seat in
carriage, took the correspondents
under his wing. There were two mem
bers of the local committee in the fifth
carriage. "Get out" said Mr.. Ransdell,
in cheerful tone; and the two men,
bers of the local committee got out
"Get in" said Mr.. Ransdell, still more
cheerfully, and Mr.. Tibbott and he
crawled in and sat down on the back
seat. A member of the local committe
stepped forward and started to get into
the carriage. One of the correspond
ents made quick dive and anticipated
him. Then one of the three men in the
carriage reached out, caught the second
correspondent and dragged him in, and
before the local committee could re-
cover from its bewilderment the door
was closed, and the carriage was rolling
off to join the procession. The tenth
carriage was never heard from, and, in
fact, the carriages after the fifth got lost
in the crowd, and were never seen in
the procession

Liquor in the Legs.
From the London Telegraph.

Aoi .i0 AoluoIl 1Slc5Idpu
1t is generally supposed that intoxi-
eating drink gets into the head. This
is mistake; it is to the legs that the
fumes of liquor fly. Such is the i'm
portant physiological discovery that has
been made by Henry Bull, described as
"a bald-headed carpenter, )" who, being
brought up at Marlborough Street po7
lice court recently, explained that he
had certainly taken too much cold
Bass but that instead of going into his
body it had got into his legs. The mag
istrate recognized the value of this dis
covery by imposing small fine.''
Bulls theory was, oddly enough, CON
tirmed in the same court on the same
day, for Anne Lavey, ga good-lookino
young woman having been likewise
found in a doubtful condition, laid the
blame on her legs. The fact is, she had
been in the hospital for bad knee. and
they had given her such powerful To-
tions that she could not use it without
taking a drop of strong drinkNof
course, internally. AS the case an
peared to need medical INVESTIGATE
she was sent back to the hospital. Ger
tainly one of the questions of the dav
would seem to be "What shall we do
with our legs?''

travelling in France, to an acquaintance

companied by a lady, found to his

Beware of Overwork.

''My advice to all singers is, do not
impose upon yourself, and you will pre-
serve your voice, says Campanini, in the
November Ladies' Home Journal. Good
health is necessary to keep a voice in
good condition. Dissipation of any
kind is OF the greatest injury to the
voice. The vocal cords are very sensi-
tive and susceptible, and what affects
the physical condition will sooner or
later affect them. What regimen a
singer should follow depends on the
constitution. Some singers can smoke
continually and not suffer from the eff
fects, while others have been seriously

Experiments made with liquid taken
from a trumpet which had been used
months before by man suffering from
phthisis showed that it was as active as
pure cultures of the tuberculous virus.

possibly fortify themselves to bear this

the reflection that it tends to the natural

Satin wood is grown on the island of

scribed as canary yellow" In the

wood is but little used. 1t is imported
more for turning and inlaying than any
