HIS PECus lar AVERSION.
Why u Certain Old Man Had a Dislike to
an OVercoat.

The old mans most noticeable pecu-
| liarity was his determination not 10
wear an overcoat. 1t made no differ
ence how cold the day was, and it
mattered not how fast the rain might
be falling. the old man. when he APP
| peared at all. appeared in a light coat
changes of temperature were necessary
to the perfect health of maa. and that
as extra clothing made the changes
less effective. man did not get the full
benefit of it.
One night he was taken from a snow
drift. frozen almost stiff, and 1t was
thought that after this he would make
an effort to protect himself against the
rigorous weather, but he didn't. In
deed. when some one asked him If he
had not begun 10 believe that an over
coat was pretty good thing after all.
he answered mo- with an emphasis
that admitted of no uncertainty as to
its meaning; and then, after a medita-
tive pause, he added:
One night last winter Il party of You
dug Il man out of snowdrift near Dali
tons mill"
Yes, we did," some one replied.
Where is he now?"
In his grave"
How was he dressed when you
found him?H
Let me see. He was well dressed"
But did he have an overcoat?n the
old man asked.
Yes. think he did"
"Ah. and yet he froze to death. Pray
| ch,
coat when men who wear them are
dying every day"
1T is for your good that we Insist
No. it is because you want to med
die in my affairs"
One morning the old man was found
dead in his room. On a chair near the
bed lay n heavy overcoat, and in one
of the pockets the following statement.
evidently. written long before, was
found:
No one in this community is ac-
Quainted with my history. and it is
doubtful if any man would find inter-
est in it, even if it were told in choice
language, printed in Il handsome VOL
ume and placed before him. In this
PAPER shall be brief to a judicious de-
gree, and will only give one incident
of my past life.
"On a blusterous night. many years
ago when | was a child, l was lying
on n lounge in my fathers room. My
mother was dead. and father and
| lived alone in an old house, large and
dreary. The clock had just struck II.
| Father, who lay on bed at the oppo-
| site side of the room. was asleep. Sud-
| denly the door, which we had never
| kept locked, was showed open. A
man, whose awful face | had never
seen before, stepped into the room
and cautiously stole toward fathers
bed. tried to cry out, but / could
not utter a sound; tried to spring out
of bed, but could not move. | saw the
man take up heavy overcoat-I saw
him fold it saw him throw it upon
fathers face and then | saw him fall
with his weight upon it. This was all
| saw for | must have tainted. When
morning came the coat laid on my
dead fathers face
| This was the only explanation OF
the old mans aversion to an overcoat

JaEaneSe Stores.


The worst thing about Japanese
stores in the opinion of Il woman. is
the chcapness Of many of the articles
which may he bought there. I'm the
first place, she says, there are so
many inexpensive things that one
finds herself beyond her depth before
she knows it. She buys and buys on
all sides, and becomes so warmed up
over her bargains that she thinks that
she can afford to get something little
more expensive. Now, when you get
into the costly part of japanese store
there is no place where YOU can spend
more money. That's lie mischief of it.
You are led into wild purchases that
YOU never dreamed of When come
ont of such a store feel that Il trap
has been laid for me, and that | have
blindiy walked into it"

and finally died of consumption, how

in it from one years end to another.

was taken down with Measles, followed
with dreadful cough and turning into
a fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly until she was a mere handful of
bones. Then she tried Dr. Kings New
Discovery and after the use of two and a
half bottles, was completely cured. They
