A Few Novel Instances of Laughable
Post-Mortem Devotion.

from the Net0 YORK Recorder.
The tombstone literature OF the world is
sometimes amusing reading. In a little
country churchyard, not far from New
York, is a tombstone erected over q girl
who died at the age OF 10. 1t bears the
inscription: Educated TO be a wife. y
Fancy the curriculum of the educational
institution she attended, In Baltimore
stone at the right has an inscrip-
tion testifying to the fact that
a young woman lies beneath and a hand
sculptured below the inscription points to
the center grave with the significant SEN
tence: "He was mine" The grave at the
left like wise has an inscription testifying to
the fact that woman lies there, and here
again is carved hand pointing TO tine center
grave with the legend: HE was mine also. "
In the middle grave is buried the husband
OF these two women. and on MS tombstone
are carved two hands Joined at the wrist,
one pointing TO the right and the other to
the left. Then there is the inscription:
They were both mine"
Every one who has visited Hollywood
cemetery in Richmond. Va. will remember
the burial lot of a certain gentleman who
laid away de corously and tearfully in this
grassy plot three wives. The tombStones
erected over this trio of unhappy women
are exactly alike, and on each one is sculp-
tured beautiful hand pointing upward, a
delicate method of signifying that the souls
OF these women are now soaring IN realms
of heavenly bliss.
1t is related that the husband of these
wives, upon recovering from the third be-
reavement, paid court to Miss Matte Ould,
who was the belle Of Richmond. and who,
although dead many years, is still quoted
oy NlfgInlans as the wittiest, most fascinGt-
ing and delightful of all the charming
women who have claimed the Old Dominion
as their birthplace. Upon one occasion
Miss Ould accompanied this gentleman to
the cemetery, and standing beside these
monuments she said positively: IF l ever
should marry you, Mr.. Steele, and l should
die before you did. would you mind having

SYMPTOMS OF BREAKING DOWN.

Restlessness. a feverish feeling,
sleeplessness, periodic hea daches, dir
illness, dimness of viSi on, ringing in the
ears, difficulty in thi mixing, trouble in
remembering names and the faces even
of friends, these are all the sure indica-
items of collapse or consumption of the
brain. The victim of consumption of
the brain. that terrible disease of mod
ern life, is often shocked or annoyed by
little noises and trifiing things. The
nervous system is often in such condi-
fion that very slight causes, or even no
cause at all, may excite to Sudden out
bursts of anger. A feeling of pressure
upon the brain is frequently followed
by seasons of dependency, mental de-
pressions alternating with periods of
wild, Elusive hopes. When the brain
begins to consume or decay many of
these symptoms become aggravated.
The world seems strange or different
from what it was in the past, thought
becomes positive effort. and life an i'll
tense burden.
Too often the victim of this great
modern disease seeks TO overcome these
symptoms by Stlmulants. Nothing could
be more injurious. The system needs
soothing, toning and building up.
Something unusual is demanded. And
here is where the great difficulty has
always been to find something pure
and yet positive in its results. The
late Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth College
realized this when he began his investi-
cations witch resulted in Il e discovery
of Paine's Celery Compound. He knew
men and women required something
heretofore unknown to the world, and
his great discovery has furnished If
This compound checks consumption of
the brain. even after it has secured
foothold in the system. Taken on the
approach of the first symptoms, it will
positively prevent their increase. Its
high Endorsements by the medical fra
ternity and the cures It's effecting easily
account for its wonderful popularity
and the unusual stir 1t has caused in
this community.

Annual Report Of the Chi

Hook Will Give Notice Of
Withdrawal From the
Association.

CHICAGO, April S.-General Manager Chap
pell, of the Chicago & Alton, says he is not
disturbed over the action of the Eastern
roads in ordering boycott against his com
pany because itrefuses 10 pledge itself 10 pay
no more commissions on passenger business
in Trunk Line and Central Traffic association
territory, las matter of fact" said Mr..
Chappell today I'VE ceased paving commits
sions to Eastern agents at the time the orig
inal order of the board of rulings went into
effect, and we did not resume until April /.
The only reason we did so then was because
we learned beyond question that, notwith-
standing their denalS, the majority of the
Western roads were still paying
commissions i'll the forbidden terri
tory. Because our general passen-
ger agent issued Il circular refut ng
a statement that we were opposed to the pay
ment of commissions, the Eastern lines pro-
pose TO divert business from our road. In
other words. we are TO be boycotted for
mere declaration of principle which is in
perfect accord with the agreement of the
Western Passenger association, of which we
are member. IL the notice sent to me by
the board of rulings am Informed that On
and after April II the Eastern roads Will
cease 10 sell or accept tickets reading over
our lines. unless they are advised by me that
the Alton will concur with the requirements.
They will get no such advice from me. The
Chicago & Alton company is in favor Of the
payment of a reasonable commission TO tick
Ell agents, and, having always made public that
opinion, it cannot now consistently commit
itself TO an opposite policy. We managed to
get along for about two years without the
cooperation of the Eastern roads, and |
think we will contrive to live even if this
boycott is continued Indefinitely. If the
trunk lines are sincere in wishing to abolish
the system, why don't they discipline their
of jumping on the Western roads which have
an agreement allowing the payment of com
missions:'' 1t is understood that all the
other Western lines have signed an agree
ment to pay no more commissions in joint
committee territory except the Burlington,
and that the Burlington, have received
warning from the board of rulings. The
Alton will establish agents of its own in
Eastern cities TO take care of its west bound
business, and will adopt other methods to
protect its eastbound traffic

WHAT Is THE GRIP i?
This Mysterious and Terrible Dis.
ease Carefully Analysed and De-
scribed.-What to DO when HI

SOhfeS.
Nearly every physician. every scientist and
every sufferer has been asking this great
question: What is the Grip? Some have as
serted that it is dangerous microbe which
comes into the system, breeds several mill
ions every second, and soon overruns the
body with disease. Others have said that we
are passing through a region Of star dust, and
that the minute particles are drawn into the
body with every breath. Whatever it may be,
it is certain that it is something within the
body which is fighting with the body to IN
dermine the life.
What would common sense dictate in such
an emergency? Counterfeit the enemy. Drive
il from the system. Donot trifle with it. Act
promptly and wisely at the first approach
which you can readily detect. Take some
thing which can counterfeit their deadly in
fuence. Spirits of some kind are the best
thing 10 take, and whiskey is preferable TO
any other kind Of spirit; but it should be
borne very carefully in mind that only pure
whisky will have the effect, and it should
also be remembered that Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey stands at the head OF ell prepaIa-
lions, and is the only medicinal whiskey upon
the market Scientists have asserted this,
the doe tors have verified it, and millions of
people have proven it beyond doubt There
are many inscriptions dealers who will as
sure you that any whisky will answer the
purpose, but they are wrong and are trying
to deceive you. III case of Grip you cannot
afford 10 take any chances. therefore take
that which is beyond question, pure, medici
nal and the only valuable whisky upon the
market.
