HE COULDN'T TELL HER.
A Case of Pathetic Prudery, and in
Virginia, Too.

"A Ease OF EaCneG1C EIuoeEyJ ana IN
Virginia, Too.
A few weeks ago l was travelling
through the State of Virginia owe a
well known railroad, says a writer in
the Atlanta Constitution. The scenery
was enchanting, b eroad bed excellent,
the train on time, and every n in a
good humor. Just before dusk we
pulled up at a very pretty little station
near the summit of the Allegheny
mountains, where a carefully tended
flower garden and other noticeable
features gave unmistakable evidence
of woman's presence. Instead of the
customary stop of a moment and the
hurried "AI aboard" several minutes
elapsed without any sign of moving
and l thought I would take advantage
of the opportunity to stretch a little.
AS nearly all passengers do I saun-
tered up towards the engine and ar
rived there just in time to hear the
engineer remark with ~earnestness,
"D-n a woman anyhow" Failing to
perceive the relevancy of this remark
my curiosity was aroused, and I asked
him what particular offence the gentler
sex had been guilty of. After taking
careful survey of me he replied:
well, I'll tell you, I've worked for
ten years to get this run, and haven't
had it but two months, and now I'm
going to loeeit all On account of a darn
woman"
Just then l was startled by hearing a
distinctly femenine sob and turning
around 1 discovered an extremely
pretty young lady of about twenty
years of age, almost distracted with
grief. Addressing the engineer she
said: I'm sure I never meant to do
anything. I only told you what the
train dispatcher said"
Here my quixotic nature came to
the surface, and championing the
young lady's cause 1 gruHy asked the
knight Of the throttle what he meant
by acting in such q churlish manner

H CHURCH BELL.

The inhabitants of Grosslaswitz, a
small North German town, are pos
seSsed of a bell which, every time it is
heard, rings out a story of persever-
anCe and careful husbandry of which
they may justly be proud. A century
and a half ago the townsfolk wanted a
new church bell, but when each had
Promised what he could spare from
bis scanty earnings the amount would
not cover it's cost. But a passing bird
came to their rescue, and on its flight
dropped a grain of seed in the church
Yard, from which in duecourse a green
stalk of corn sprang. The stalk was

With a mysterious air he beckoned me
off to one side and said:
"You see this here engine is broke
down, and while 1 can fix it all right it
will take some little time. That young
lady is the operator here and she said
the train dispatcher wanted to know
what was the matter, and l told her
the engine was broke. In a few min
utes she came back and wanted to
know what was the matter with it,
and I wouldn't tell her. Then the dis
patcher sends me word that if I don't
tell him what's wrong with this engine
that I won't have any engine to get
wrong after I get in. That's ALL"
well, my friend" said I, lit seems
to me you would simplify matters
greatly if you would tell her and let
her inform him"

bowed assent.
"Well, say, old man, can't you get
her to tell this young lady about itG"
His tone was so pathetic 1 agreed,
and, while the two ladies were straight
ening matters out my grateful friend
initiated me into the secret of an en-
gine's wearing apparel and made me
understand that an engine can no more
move along with her petticoat down
than any other lady. He also informed
me this was the real reason they al
ways spoke of an engine as "she."

BRIGHT'S DISEASE
Has Been Proven to be Catarrh OF
the Kidneys.

A letter from Mrs. Mary A. Shear, of
Jennings, Louisiana, states: II am
recommending your Pe-ru-na to every
one / hear complain. Several people
have already commenced taking it. My
disease was Bright's disease of the
kidneys and catarrh of the bladder. L
am quite well now
The symptoms of Brights disease
are: Dull pain in the back; scanty,
%high-colored urine, containing albumen
and various sediments; nausea, and
sometimes vomiting; pufliness of the
face and feet; dropsy of the legs; short
ness of breath and general weakness;
palor and dryness of the skin; chilly
feelings, alternating with fever and
sleeplessness. The treatment is: a
tablespoonful of Pe-ru-na before each
meal, between meals, and ut bedtime.
and enough Man-a-lin ut night to pro
duce one natural action of the bowels
each day.

army, and was killed by British Indians
at the battle of the River Raisin. Beside
her brother, DIR. Paschal H. Chambers,
with whom she has resided SO long, she
leaves of her immediate family a brother,
James Chambers, of Louisville, KY, and
q sister, Mrs. Josephine Jones, OF Phila-
delphia, Pa. Her mother was the sister
of the late Mrs. Susan II. Trigg. An aunt,
who was also her mothers sister, Mrs.
Patsey Estill, still lives in a suburb OF
Louisville, KY, aged ninety-four years.
These three sisters were among the most
beautiful, accomplished and popular
ladies of their day in Kentucky, Virginia
and Washington society.
Miss Chambers was a Christian woman
of the highest type. Every impulse OF
her heart was to love and help her fellow
beings. No trouble could visit a friend
or acquaintance-not even the stranger
within her reach-that she was not
promptly at his side to aid or to console.
BY nature q nurse and comforter, the sick
room ever found present her soft foot
fall, her tender hand and gentle voice.
She was, in deed and in truth, a good
samaritan. Like ner LOTu uuu NlastcT
she went about the world doing good.
How many households in Lexington and
elsewhere can attest this! How many
hearts are bowed with grief that this
| sainted woman has been called awayl To
, me and mine she was near and dear. No
adversely crossed our path that she was
, not by US. No night so dark or storm so
great that could keep her from us then.
, o, most excellent woman! o, noble life!
To how many men and women hast thou
proven an inspiration and a stay! And
the little ones, too, how thou didst love
and care for them; and how dearly did
they love thee! Her life was n symphony
of exalted sentiment; her days were given
to benefactions. How we shall miss her!
Who can fill her place? Living, she was
' q beacon, leading on to good. Dead, hel
memory lives with us as a bright and
effulgent light. Where she is our plead
ing can avail her nothing; but il, amid
tho communion of the saints, voices may
be raised In supplication, from her I'M
selfish soul will ascend to the Throne ol
Grace prayers for her dear ones here
May they, when the roll of the elect shall
be called, each and every one be there
