could tell him who he was. At first
it was thought that the man was 6

SHE CAUGHT ON.
Woman who Took Advantage OF u

"
Conversation.
A few years ago n widow and her
daughter were occupying section in
Pullman sleeper on the Missouri
Pacific railroad. The partition be-
tween the two sections was so thin
that it was not difficult for a CONVEX
sation carried on in one section to be
heard in the other The lady trav-
eler heard the two directors discuss
ing plan of consolidation whereby
the stock of the Missouri Pacific was
bound to be greatly enhanced in
value.
1t was then worth but two or three
cents on the dollar. She was on her
return trip to her home in Hartford,
Conn, The conversation OF the two
directors ereyed on her mind She
revolved it over and over again until
her home was reached, at which time
a r., 900 note due her was redeemed.
She sent for her attorney, detailed to
him the conversation she had heard,
and said she was almost resolved to
invest tho IS, 900 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney, installing her an
nounced resolution for irony,
laughed, but the woman of wealth
persisted.
cit is but $4,000" she said, "and
il lose shall have just as much to
eat as | have always had and just as
much to wear. If the plans betrayed
by these two directors work out |
shall make good deal of money
buying Missouri Pacific "
The attorney obeyed the instruc-
tions of his client, invested the
70, 00o, and in less than month the
proposed consolidation was consum.
mated and the Hartford widow real
lied for her $1,000 investment $3.50
600 At the first blush this incident
is set down as proof OF luck.
1t was simply an unexpected ex-
hibition OF what in Wall street YER
nacular is termed nerve on the
part of quick-eared and quick
witted woman. Not one person in
10000 would have given any heed to
the conversation referred to, and not
one OF thousand who might have
heard and needed and who happened
to have the money, as the widow had
it, would have dared to invest il.
These incidents and illustrations
might be expanded until volumes
were filled, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star. The evidence would be
cumulative that eyes and ears and
brain make what the thoughtless
term luck.

A RuinouS Loss.

Why is 1t that people in general are so
prone to disregard loss of strength, clearly
perceptible in bodidlv shrinkage, failure OF
appetite, broken rest! lncomprehensible
but true. Sheer carelessness, an over
weening confidence in the power of nature
to recuperate-these are suggestiEle rea-
sons. One of the most observable signals
of danger thrown by distressed nature is
waning strength. An efficient tonic is the
best safeguard against impending peril.
Among the invigorants which modern sci
ence has developed and expeI fence appro we'd
is Hostetter's Stomach 3itters and it oc-
cupies the first place. Digestion renewed
drain of vital force, and regular action
of the bowels and tranquil condition of the

in the complete restoration of vigor. The
