What They Got,

When Artemus Ward died the
press Of England and America was
filed with tributes to his memory.
In New York a meeting Of newspa-
per people was held, at which it was
resolved that his memory should lie
perpetuated. The manner in which
this was done was amusingly illus
trated by a story told In Harper's
Magazine some years ago. Whether
or not the anecdote would be true to-
day, We do not know
A few summers ago ! passed a
weeks vacation at Waterford. Maine,
and during my visit vent to the vii
lage graveyard to view the final rest
ing-place OF Artemus Ward.
With some trouble l found the
grave, there being nothing about the
plain white slab to distinguish it
from many similar ones around.
While thinking and wondering that
no monument had ever been erected
to the humorist couutryman ap-
preached, TO whom ! said:
my friend, can you tell me why IL
is that Artemus never has had a
monument erected TO his memory"
well, stranger, l guess 1 Sin,"
was the reply. You see, arter
Artemus died three or four hundred
printer feilers down in New York
City got together and passed some
beautiful resolutions, saying that
Artemus should have a monument
and they would pay FOR IL then and
there; and then they took up a col.
lection, which amounted TO go. so.
so I'm told; and since then this
town haint seen either the monu-
ment or the money; but stranger,
We did get copy Of the resolutions"

SOCIETY OF a certain sort in New
York has recently been shocked by
the fact that the wife OF mar
prominently connected has had the
audacity to set up millinery estab

nucs. the woman's object in this
venture is TO get money for the re.
payment OF certain losses incurred by
her husband through Endorsements
for an unworthy brother, but the
criticisms OF her course are none the
less spirited because OF the high
motive which inspires il. the hor.

which has high social rank should he

the -Four Hundred should stand
aghast at such a wanton violation of
all the traditions Of good society. 4"
But we fancy that the great mass OF

What Your Great Grandmother Did


She hetcheled the flax and carded
the wool, and wove the linen. and
spun the tow, and made the clothes for
her husband and ten children. She
made butter and cheese, she dipped tai
low candles, to light the house at night,
and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open Fireplace and
brick oven. Yes; and when she was
forty years of age, she was already an
old lady whose best days were over.
Her shoulders were bent and her joints
enlarged by hard work, and she wore
spectacles and cap. Her great grand
daughter, with all the modern con-
veniences for csmfort, refinement and
luxury, may be as charming and at
tractive at forty-five as at twenty.
Especially is this true if she preserves
her health and beauty by the use Of
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
which wards off all female ailments
and Irregularities, cures them if they
already exist, keeps the life current
healthful and vigorous, and enables
the woman of middle age to retain the
freshness of girlhood upon brow and
cheek, the light Of youth IN her eyes,
and its elasticity in her step. Sold by
