A Story of GounOd.

A poor, worn out musician, carrying q
violin which he was too feeble to play, was
met with in Paris by three young students
of the Conservatoire. In response to his
request for aims they searched their pock-
cts, the united contents of which yielded
only sixteen sous and a cube of rosin.
Thereupon one of them proposed to take
the old mans violin and accompany the
voices of his companions. No sooner said
than done.
Commencing with a solo upon the theme
of the Carnival of Venice a large con-
course of listeners was soon attracted.
Then came favorite cavatina from La
Dame Blanche sung in such a manner as
to keep the audience spellbound and yet
again the trio from ''Guillaume Tell" By
this time the poor old man was galvanized
into life and activity by the artistic per-
formance He stood erect, and with his
stick directed the concert with the author
ity of practiced leader. Meanwhile con-
tributions of silver and even gold rained
into the old mans hat. To his astonished
and grateful demand to know who were
his benefactors he received from the first
the name of Faith. and from the others
the response of Hope and Charity.
And you do not even know mine"
sobbed the poor musician; my name is
Chapner, and for ten years l directed the
opera at Strassburg. You have saved my
life, for can now go back to my native
place, where | shall be able teach what /
can no longer perform The young vio-
linist was Adolph Hermann. the tenor was
Gustav Roger and the originator of the
charitable scheme was Charles Gounod.-

Self Collected Brides.

1t is a surprising fact that the bride is
almost always the one to bear the trials
and embarrassments of the wedding cere-
mony with the most fortitude and sang
froid, despite the fact that she invariably
is the focus for every eye. A shy, modest
looking little creature, robed in white. will
stand perfectly erect, looking the minister
calmly and squarely in the eye, without
for an instant losing her self poise, while
the big, blum six footer of n bridegroom
by her side is pale and nervous and trem-
bling.
The bride very seldom makes any mis-
take, either during the ceremony or at the
still more trying reception afterward,
while the man is almost always sure to
put both feet in it, and then founder about
in despair, until his better half comes to
his rescue and gives him the first chance
to appreciate the advantages of having
some one to take care of him.
During the ceremony the chances for the
groom TO make mistakes are not many.
The most common one is for him to get
names mixcd.-Chicago Journal.

The wav NJ -

In Acable car the other day two ladies
were discussing the advice so freely given
to women in some of the monthly publica-
tons
"Just listen to this ridiculous advice"
said one as she ished in her handbag for a
clipping.
docs it give directions for a dollar din
ner which you can't buy the materials for
under 50. 75?'' asked the other
Not this time. 1t merely gives advice
to woman who wants to retain her hus-
bands affections
. ''Oh, don't care what sort of advice is
given to a woman who doesn't know that
much" was the reply given by one who
knew the art to perfection.
Let me read it to you, anyhow. This is
it: Get a raw piece of best sirloin steak
about three-quarters of inch thick.
Toast it over a bright fire on gridiron
which is handled only by yourself, never
by servants. Then put n little sweet but
ter over the beef with little salt and pep
per. Give him half a pound of this piping
hot every morning, and do not speak while
he eats it, Now, what do you think of
that?"
We'll, for one thing the person who gave
that advice left out a very important part"
'What is that?'
''He ought to explain how the poor
woman who finds it hard to retain her
husbands affection is going to get the
money to buy the beefsteak for the brute"
That's so. The woman who needs such
advice is usually the one whose husband
hardly gives her enough money to buy
bread and potatoes for the family, let alone
sirloin steak
Yes. indeed, Isn't such advice enough
to make a person weary"
And the other agreed that it was.-Pitts-

AN undisputed TEST of Merit.

An Undisputed Test OF Merit.
A medicine that has been a household
remedy for over 80 years and used in that
time by more than $50, 10000 persons
must have great merit. such medicine
is found in Bran dreth's Pills. This fact
demonstrates the value of these pills bet
ter than any statement of the proprietors.
1t will be observed that the dose required
to cure is small. One or two pills taken
every night for 10 or 20 days will cure
dyspepsia, costiveness. rheumatism, liver
complaint, biliousness. or any disease
arising from an impure state of the
blood
B.sn'reth's Pills are purely vegetable.

The Right Was Wrong.

Johnnie's aunt always liked to show him
off before company. On the last occasion,
to prove his efficiency in arithmetic, she
asked, .'If gave you three apples and
your mother made you give your little sis
ter one, how many would you have?"
Three" promptly replied Johnnie.
"Why how could that be-" inquired his
aunt, when you only had three in the first
placer"
Because" responded Johnnie, eff ma
made me give her one I'd take it away
again as soon as her back was turned. -

Republican Opposition to rrnnts.

The Republicans always try to pose
as the enemies Of trusts, hut it IS a sig
nlilcant fact that when the late Sena
tor Plumb introduced an antitrust
amendment to the Mckinley bill his
Republican colleagues voted it down
with an overwhelming emphasis. Here
IS the principal part Of the amend.
ment:
"lf it shall appear to the satisfaction
or any circuit or district court of the
United States that the manufacture
and production or distribution of SINH
lur articles Of domestic production, or
OF the articles of domestic manufact-
ure and production with which an i'm
ported artlcle comes into competition,
l3 controlled by a single poration,
firm or individual, or by any combina.
ton or agreement between corpora
tons, firms or individuals engaged in
the manufacture, production, sale or
distribution Of such domestic article,
so as to produce either Of the follow
ing results, namely: The establish
niont OF ARBITRARY and preacl iDed prices
Tor such articles of domestic manufac
ture or production, or the arbitrary and
artlllclal restriction or limitation Of the
production or sale of such article, or
tne suspension Of competition in the
sale, distribution, manufacture CT pro
CuCtion Of such domestic articles, then
the importer of such competing articles
shall be entitled to receive his goods
ice from duty
In1S amendment was voted against
ny every Republican except Senators
Plumb and Paddock, and it received
the vote Of every Democratic Senator.
Some two years ago the New York
Tribune made the follow ing threat at
our tariff trusts: "rhOse who so COM
bine have no night to complain in any
case if congress sees fit to cut off absO-
lutely all advantages which they derive
or can be supposed to derive from the
system they thus assail." Such SEN
timent sounds well to the voter, but
no one can expect Republican senators
to transform it into law, as nothing
is to be permitted to disturb the holy
"symmetry of the tariff system"
