"Me? me?" asked Jones, punching
himself with his reserve thumb in the
vest. Ibid you say mc?"
Eyes, you, Jones. You are mistaken
in supposing that the professor desires
to marry Fannie"
"Ya, dot wash great mistake. All

"Wherc is she?" exclaimed Jones.
"Let me see her ct once"

carriage and will go and see her. You
have no idea how glad Fannie will be
to hear that have at last given my
consent"
Jones was not as bewildercd as one
might suppose at the sudden turn OF
things. His previous opinion that no
female could refuse him was now fully
confirmed. He suddenly became very
dignitied and important and talked
about educating Fannie up to his stand
ard.
A few minutes later closed carriage
drove up and before poor Jones could
fully comprehend the situation he was in
custody in Bloomingdale asylum. There
was no hesitation, on the part Of the
officials, in combining Jones, as an in
mate had recently escaped and they
supposed Jones was the fugitive idiot.
He was released as soon as his friends
heard Of the affair, but next day he
disappeared from New York. The
story had leaked out and nothing could
induce him to remain and stand the
ridicule to which he would be sub
jected. His present post Office address
is not known. ALEX K. SWEET.

"Comc, like that" said my mother
in-law, rubbing her handa "At least
you are not afraid Of work. Do you

"Well-not much" owned. There
were no cattle ut my last place"
(Which was very true. for I had been a

doubt that 1 could soon learn, if you
would kindly show me what is expected

''Can you cut wood?" she asked.

self that any fool might do that.

scowling furiously.

Smith? Oh, va, know dot fami-

Then you love Miss Smith?"
Poor Specht! He believed that he
had lunatic to deal with, and he was
not far from the truth. He had heard
that the only way to get along with a
lunatic was to concede everything and
to contradict him in nothing, otherwise
the maniac might rend him to pieces.
Acting on this plan, Herr Specht, who
still held the chair between himself and
the intruder, said:

With fear and trembling, poor Specht
accompanied Jones across the street.
and they were admitted into the parlor
Of the Smith mansion. Old man Smith,
retired lumber dealer, entered. He
was slightly acquainted with the young
man.
"Mr Smith, withdraw"
II didn't know that youcwere an ap-
plicant for any office" replied Smith,
somewhat dazed.

''Iour claim on my daughter"
"Yes, Mr.. Smith, intended to educate
yonr daughter up to my standard, but
that's all passed now. I resign in favor

~ in love. This was his normal condi-
ton. He was moreover so completely
eaten up with vanity that he firmly be-
lieved that every female who looked at
him loved him for himself alone with
undying affection. There arc several
such partially demented persons in
every community.
At the time Of which we write, Jones
was very much astonished and be-
wildered at the conduct of Miss Fannie
Smith. one Of the bellies of Harlem.
which is the northern suburb, SO to
speak, Of Gotham. Jones had smiled
on Fannie, but she refused to listen
to his suit. Fannie was about eight.
cen years of age. She was very
Intelligent young lady. She took an in
terest in politics, she loved music and
poetry. she understood all about rcli-
gion, and was we'll up in the tariff ques-
ton. There was only one thing about
which she was absolutely Indifferent,
and that was Jones. AS far as is known
she never expressed any opinion about
him except that he was "a very nice
young man."
Jones, as the reader Inny have in.
fcrred, was bounteously provided with
lack Of common sense. He could not
believe it possible that he was not al.
ways uppermost in Fannie's thoughts.
He was too vain for that. He did not
believe it possible that any female could
resist his winning smile for any length
of time.
He followed her everywhere. When
the poor girl walked out she did not
know whether it was her shadow or

window, she saw standing on the OPP
posite side of the street, Jones, with his
arms folded. He became a permanent
feature of the landscape in the vicinity
of the Smith mansion. If she looked
around the theater she was sure to see
him right behind her, looking at her
with n most loving glance. AS she paid
no attention whatever to him, his next
strategic move was to write her a
twelve-page love letter, to which he
added postscript to the effect that she
should make an earnest effort to prove
herself worthy of his love. He was now
in the delirium tremens stage Of his in
fatuation.
After several weeks had rolled away
without Jones receiving any answer to
bis cffusion, horrible suspicion that
perchancc his affection was not fully
reciprocated began to dawn in his
breast. He then jumped at the con-
clusion that he had a rival. He played
the role of detective for . week before
he discovered clew.
Opposite to the Smith mansion was a
German boarding house. Jones noticed
that middle-aEed man, wearing spec
tacles and long hair, frequently looked
across the street at the Smith mansion.
One day he saw this same man coming
out of the said Smith mansion.
Now, Herr Specht was an unfortunate
man who taught music and tuned pianos
for a living. lie was the most harmless
and timid of men. He almost bounded
out of his chair at hearing tremendous
knock at the door.
Come in," squeaked Herr Spccht.
Jones stalked into the room, grand,
gloomy and peculiar. with folded arms,

NOVEL TREATMENT.

Gastric Ulcer Cured by the Use OF . Dict
Of leo Cream.
DR.. HERSHEY reports, in the American
Medical News, three cases of gastric
ulcer in which recovery had followed
the use of diet of ice cream. This
novel method of treatment was sug-
gestcd to him by the experience of a
patient, 4 woman of thirty-6ve, who had
for three months suffered from symp-
toms Of gastric ulcer She had hnma-
temesis and severe pain, and could re-
tain nothing until by chance she one
day took small quantity of ice cream.
She had lest twenty-five pounds in
weight. AS all ordinary methods of
dieting had failed, and digested food
administered by the rectum was re-
jected, the patient at her own desire
was allowed ice cream and told to take
as much of it as she could. Her severe
symptoms at once began to subside,
and at the end Of two months. during
which from one to three quarts of ice
cream were taken daily, she had gained
twentyfour pounds in weight. Solid
punishment was gradually added to
her diet. and she made n complete re-
covery. DR.. HERSHEY had q similar ex.
perience with two other patients, in one
of whom there were symptoms of per-
foration and local peritonitis, and he is
naturally inclined to think highly OF
the mode of treatment and to recon-
mend its use in similar cases. He be.
lievcs that the ice cream in those cases
is beneficial because of the local anaeS-
thetic action Of the cold permitting di-
gestion to go on without pain, while at
the same time sufficient material for di.
gestion and nourishment is supplied in
the cream. But he insists that every
care must be taken to insure the abso-
lutte purity and freshness of the ice
cream, and for this purpose he recon-
mends that only that which is made al
home should be used in such cases.
