The Hawaiian
Difficulty

Is, indeed, paradox, absurd and
yet true, and hard one to overcome,
But there are other difficulties
much more antagonistic and stub
born. The disease of rheumatism,
for instance, has baffled the skill of
physicians, and until short time
ago, when Neurotic Oil came to
the rescue, was pronounced incur
able. How is it now Thousands
of people are being cured, quickly
and permanently by the use of
Neurotic Oil, that greatest Of lini-
ments. 1t is for sale by druggists
in 25 and 30 cent bottles

They Were rendered In Good Faith, but
With Embarrassing Results.
Congratulations offered In a general
way are just little below par in one
Of the down town departments at pres
emit. A certain chief Of division named
Smith is very popular with the ladies
of the department. He has under him
a clerk also named Smith. On New
Years day the wife Of Clerk Smith pre-
sented him with son and heir, and on
the following day his friends in the de-
partment fairly swarmed around his
desk with congratulations That morn
ing modest little maiden clerk, whom
for present purposes we may style Miss
Jones, overheard two acquaintance in
the corridor talking about mother and
child in hushed voices, and womanlike
she stopped to ask what the news was.
why, haven't you heardP" exclaim-
ed one of the conversants. "Mr. Smith
has had an addition to his family-a
splendid big boy. We've all been in to
offer our congratulations.
''Indeed!" cried Miss Jones. II must
go too"
Suiting the action to the word and
without pausing to reflect that there
were two Messrs. Smith, she started post
haste for the desk of the chief of divi-
sion. He was buried up to his ears in
work and did not notice her approach
till in her gentle little voice she said:
"Please accept my congratulations,
Mr.. Smith"
Chief Smith is kindly man. His
friends of the other sex had been inter-
rupting his work all the morning with
wishes for happy new year, and in his
absorption he hal fallen into stereo-
typed way of answering without half
hearing the remark or noticing its form.
So when he heard Miss Jones' light
treble saying something indicative of
good wishes he merely raised his eyes
mechanically and responded with an
absent air:
"Thank you, Miss Jones. The same
to your
Miss Jones gave little gasp and at
tempted to stammer out something ex-
planatory of which nothing was audible
to the clerks sitting around except the
words little stranger" Still the chief,
his mind full of his work, missed the
entire purport of her speech. All he
observed was that the dear little lady
had not left her place at his side, and
thinking that possibly he had not spo-
ken distinctly enough the first time he
repeated in a louder tone.
1.-The same to you, Miss Jones-and
many Of theml"
This was too much both for Miss
Jones, who retreated to her room, blush
ing like peony, and for the surround
ing clerks, who roared till the Office
fairly shook. Ever since Jan. it has
been noticed that Miss Jones conducts
her business with Chief Smith 8 division

iTzfsS,Ei.:,, NH, Feb. 12.-The supposed
murder mystery here has been spoiled by
the discovery that the alleged victim,
Joseph Rienbeau, is alive at farm in
Weare. Officers went there yesterday and

cannot explain where he has been since
his disappearance, nor how the check,

into the possession of those suspected of
his murder. The suspects were released.
