How Squire Bond Was Fooled.

Squire Bond. whose descendants are
foremost in Springfield affairs, kept Q
general store in the early part of the CEN
fury out on the borders of Worcester
county, and like all storekeepers Of the
period he sold rum. One old tippler
whose credit was very weak got badly In
arrears, and Mr.. Bond got wary about
trusting him. The tippler came in one
day with his jug half full and wanted 1t
filed clear up, as ne was going away.
The liquor was poured in until 1t came
up to the cork, but when the squire asked
for the money it was not forthcoming.
No pleas could induce him to trust any
longer, SO he poured out as much as he
had put in and the tippler went away.
The liquid which had half filed the jug
beforehand was not rum, but water

The standard of female loveliness
varies greatly in different countries and
with individual tastes. Some prefer
the plump and buxom type; some ad.
mire the slender and sylph-like, and
some the tall and queenly maiden. But
among all people of the Caucasian race
one point OF beauty is always admired
"a pure, clear and spotless complexion
whether the female be of the blonde,
brunette or hazel-eyed type. This first
great requisite of loveliness can be as
sured only by pure state of the blood,
active liver, good appetite and diges-
ton, all of which are secured by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t is guaranteed to accom-
plish all that is claimed for it, or money
refunded. If you would have a clear,
lovely complexion, free from eruptions,
moth patches, spots and blemishes, use

WILLING TO MAKE ALLOWANCES.
A Kind Hearted Farmer Who Said Per-
haps the burrows Were Sun Warped.

haps the burrows We're Sun Warped.
A certain eminent clergyman, who is
greatly loved for his gentleness and for
bearance with offenders, recently told a
man that an experience of his own in
years long gone by taught him the grace
of ready excusing. When he was boy,
he was very poor boy, but he had al
ready a strong theological bent and was
studying hard during the winter and
working even harder during the summer
trying to get preparation for college
He wanted to be preacher, and the fact
that he didn't seem to be good for any
thing else tended to convince him that
he had not mistaken his calling.
One spring he was entirely out OF
money and had to get out of school and
go to work. Not being able to find any
thing to do in the small college town
where he had been studying, the youth
call him Richard Vernon-went out
among the farmers to see if he could get
work from them. He found man who
was very busy with his springs work
and in hurry to get the burrows plowed
in big field for potato planting. The
weather was favorable for planting: the
farmers boys would be home from school
the next day, which was Saturday, to do
the dropping and covering. He told
Richard that he might mark out the
field with the plow for the planting, and
if he suited he might be hired for two or
three months. Meantime the farmer
saw that the boy was very anxious to
stay, and that he had evidently very
| good disposition.
So the young theologian went to work
with tremendous vigor. He did not stop
| to take breath until he had marked off a
large tract OF ground with deep burrows,
| Then came his employer from his work
\ in another part OF the farm and looked at
the boys work and leaned up against the
/ fence and laughed until he shook. The
potato field had been scraped and seal
/ loped all over with the ridiculously If
regular and wabbly little bitches which
! Richard had turned. There was not 6
clean, straight furrow in the lot Thu
ground looked as if an insane elephant
had tossed up the earth. The burrows
were of all depths and at all distances
from one another, Tor Richard had driver
the horse most of the time at smar
walk, and he had been too much occupied
with keeping up and maintaining pre-
carious grasp upon the pillow handles t.
be able to pay any attention to the regu
larity or evenness of his work.
Richard Vernon laughed, too, as h
stood and looked over the field. H
wiped the sweat from his brow AM
looked very anXioualy at his employer
There was no chance for regular worl
there, that was evident. His laughte
faded away, and there was a certain
faint twitch in tne corners of his moutl
as the boy said:
81 guess you don't want any more o
my work, sir"
"Oh, yes-yes, CO." said the farmer
"Maybe faint your fault that the fur
rows are crooked. You see, the sun

Phillips Brooks as a schooIteacher.

1t is related that the first attempt of
Phillips Brooks to begin career was a
discouraging failure. After he left col
lege he became q tutor in the Boston
Latin school, but the principal was SO
little impressed with his capacity that
he asked for his resignation. When
young Brooks then decided to enter the
ministry, the pedagogue predicted his
failure on the ground that he had never
known any one to succeed in anything
else who had failed in schoolteaching.-

Mrs. John, ''when this woman walked

'It was one woman's progress" re-
torted Mrs. John. 'and everybody hated
her for it."
Then she dropped her vehemence and
became discoursive.

Only Litlle Thing.

A hospital for incurables is a very
noble and worthy charity, and am glad
that no prominent city Is without a pro
vision for this class of sufferers. wish,
however, that the brutally descriptive
name of such institutions could be so
modified as not to contain the death war
rant of every person received within
their doors. "A place to die in is not a
cheerful title for ones last earthly home,
and the omission of this reminder from
the official name could so easily be sup
piled in the rules for ad,nittance that to
parade it seems worse than useless. 1t
is wonderful howa little consideration
sweetens the bread of charity.

The All the Year Round Bathing Club.


The All the Year Round Bathing club
of London was up to few years ago
quite prominent institution in the eyes
of sanitary scientists, though of late
years it seems to have relapsed into a
condition of innocuous desuetude. Its
members simply pledged themselves to
battle in the Serpentine river every morn
ing in the year. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that none but the strongest con-
situations are able to comply with the
rules, but sturdy body of men of vary
ing ages for several years carried out the
obligations to the letter, and when 1t
was necessary they would cheerfully
break the ice before entering the river.
Medical men frequently accompanied
the bathers, and quite number of pa
pers appeared in the medical journals
setting forth the good and bad effects OF
bathing every morning before a. m. in
running water.-St. Louis Globe-Demo
