Can a Woman Keep a Secret.

The Harve de Grace Republican publisbe:
the following: "This question (Can q
woman keep secret y has never been
satisfactorily answered, and as an adj
dition to the literature concerning it our
old friend Capt. Edward Gallup, who. is
temporarily domiciled in Romney Neck,
sends us the following;
Many years ago, IN fact as far back as
1905, there lived in Romney Neck two
families named Lester and Grain. Mr..
Lester had wife who was always finding
fault with her husband and telling him
that he was like all woman of the neigh
borhood, and couldn't keep secret: but
thand God, she was not one of that kind.
1t appears that one fine morning Mr..
Lester went cunning, aud among the
game that he captured was very large.
crane. On his way bone he met his
DelghbOr Crane who had been living
alone for many Years. Mr. Grain t. Id Mr..
Lester that he was going from home, and
would be absent several days. In an iu-
slant the thought struck Mr.. Lester that
he would Iliy trick on his wife, so he
took the crane that be had captured and
covered it with the briar. He then went
home, where be assumed very sad
countenance, and appeared to be in much
trouble. His wife soon saw that some
thing was wrong, and asked her husband
what was the matter with him. He said
can't tell you | Will be ruined If do |!
She says you must tell me; l can't live
this way. "Well, If must must" says
be: "but don't you breathe 1t to any one"
"You know me, John" she answered.
"Well, !" he said, "Craln and me had FUSE
today, and "shot him." ooh nv Lord ;
she shrieked, we are ruined !" He moaned
and groaned and groaned all that night,
and so did his wife. The next morning
he went out about his work and a neigh
boris wife soon called. This lady saw
Mrs. Lester was greatly troubled and in
sisted on knowing the cause of her un-
easiness.
Mrs. Lester opened the bag and told all
the visitor went home, her husband saw
his wife was worried, and asked her the
cause of 1t. She said she couldn't possibly
inform him, as she had promised meyer tC
tell anybody. But the husband was not
long in pumping it out of his wife, and
then he contended that such a thing a,
that should not be kept secret, and wen

lot of fellows and arrested Mr.. Lester
and dragged him to the place where be
had buried Mr.. Grain. And after they

marsh crane, there was deyil OF time
in that neighborhood and Mrs. Lester
didn't speak to her husband for six month,

What RELIGION Isn't.

1t isn't going to church to see what
the people wear, or to find fault with the
preacher.
1t isn't running into debt for things
you don't need and never paying for
them.
1t isn't giving away great deal OF
money publicly, simply that the people
may speak well of you.
1t isn't staying away from church when
you know a special collection is gong to
be taken.
1t isn't leaving one church and joining
another when you do not like the preach
er.
1t isn't reading so many chapters day,
or saying one prayer over and over.
1t isn't sitting in the house and looking
solemn, and refusing to eat anything cook
ed on Sunday.
1t isn't putting all the big sound ap-
pies on top of the measure and the little
rotten on ones the bottom.
1t isn't telling other people what to
do in prayer meeting, and let the devil
tell you what to do in business matters.
1t isn't whipping your boy for smoking
while you have a cigar in your own
mouth.
1t isn't telling the servant to say, "Not
at home "-Ram's Horn.

The original and only genuine Com
pound Oxygen Treatment, that OF Drs
Starkey & Palen, is a scientific adj dst'
ment of the elements OF Oxygen aad Nj
trogen mdgnetised; and the compound is
so condensed and made portable that it is
sent all over the world.
1t has been in use for more than twenty
years thousands of patients have been
treated, and oyer one thousand physicians
have used it, and recommend it,-a very
significant fact.
The great success of our Treatment has
given rise to a host of imtatOrs, unscru-
pulous persons; some calling their prep
aratons Compound Oxygen, often appro-
priating our testimonials and the names
of our patients, to recommend worthless
concoctiOns. But any substance made
elsewhere OF by others, and called Com
pound Oxygen, is spurious.
"Compound Orygea-Hs Mode Of ActiOn
and Results" is the title of new book of
200 pages, Published by Drs. Starkey Il
Palen, which gives to all inquirers full in
formation as to this remarkable curative
agent, and a record of surprising cures in
a wide range of chronic cases-many OF
them after being abandoned to die by 9th

Mr.. Elkins Nominated.
TIE PRESIDENT CALLS THE WEST VIRGIN
IAN INTO THE CABINET.
Washington Post. 18th inst.

IAN INTO THE CABINET.
Washington Post, 18th inst.
Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia,
was yesterday nominated by the Presi-
dent to be Secretary of War, vice Redfield
Proctor, resigned, and at the executive
session OF the Senate yesterday afternoon
the nomination was referred to the Com
mittee on Military Affairs without action.
No appontment made by the President
has created so much comment as this,
and certainly none has been fraught with
so much political interest. 1t was at
once accepted as a taclt assertion that
Mr.. Blaine was no longer IN the list of
Presidential possibilities. The intimacy
which has for years existed between Mr.
Blaine and Mr.. E;kins. the uncertainty
which attaches to Mr.. Blaine's future in
tentions, and Mr.. Harrlson's well-known
desire 10 be his own successor are topics
which enter into the gossip which the
nomination has aroused.
Mr.. Elkins was offered the War port
folio last spring at Cape May. He then
declined it. Later in the summer the
President again int;mated his desire to
have Mr.. Elkins succeed Nr. Proctor.
Again the position was refused, Mr.. FL
kius stating that LIE could not accept it
while Mr.. Gof was unprovided for, his
reason being that SIR. Golf should be re-
oognized for the time and mOnsy spent
BY him eudeavOring to promote the in
terssts Of the Republican party 10 West
Virginia. When a few weeks ago Mr..
Elkins visited Washington and lunched
With the President at the White House,
he was asked for the third time TO accept
the place. With the tender at tbis time
was coupled the assurance that Gov. Golf
vould be given one of the circuit court
iudeeships. Mr.. EIkins replied that, under
these circumstances, he would consider
the offer. He went at once to call upon
the Secretary of State, with whom he had
. long and pleasant interview.
"Wbst effect asked DIR. Elkins in the
courss of the talk, "would my appoint
ment have upon your Presidential chances
next year ~
Absolutely none," was Mr. Blaine's
reply. As feel ct present, l shall not
BE- candidate for the nomination. III,
however, there should cone to me from
the Republican party an Overwhelming
expression, demanding that l accept the
nomination, may fssl constrained to put
sside my personal feelings and accept the
nomination. In that Gaze, Mt. Harrison

On the other hand, should Mr.. Harrison
Be- the nominee, I win not W IN the race,

Keeley's Gold Cure.

CHICAGO, December 19.-In an address
delivered last evening under the auspices
of tho Chicago Press club. Dr. Leslie E
Kelley, the dlscoyerer of the famous
remedy for alcohol habit, made clear why
he has so steadfastly refused to give NJ
the secret of cure to the public. In his
address. DR.. Kelley SAID that his remedy
cured % per cent. of those treated. The
reason he did not make the secret public
was because he was afraid 1t would soon
become a sobsring up process in stead OF
a cnre; that it would be used BY liquor
dealers themselves to brace their patrons
mp after protracted spree, only to get
into condition for another deba1c -
Under such circumstances, the doctor
said, to give bis cure to the public would
be to destroy its efficiency.
