1893 the business had grown to su:h

The Dispatch is as ready to give credit
to deserving enterprises as it is to ex-

able proof OF inc merits OF the medi-
cine compounded by the Cook Remedy
company.
The Cook Remedy company treats
every case under positive guaranty

Shameful waste.

said that she and her daughter had

ordered Bob, the pony, to be saddled.
Lady Eldon told him he could not
have it, but company being in the
room, gave no reason. In few

DIDN'T NEED A HIRED GIRL,
Plucky Little Woman's Snappy Reply to
tho Crusty Old Bachelor.

tAo NTusIy Via EsScnelOr.
There is crusty old bachelor on
Fourth street, says the Louisville
Post, who is a confirmed woman
hater and who never misses an OPP
portunity for saying something sar-
castle and disagreeable about th g
fair sex. But he met more than his
match the other day In u plucky lit
tie woman who. metaphorically
speaking, wiped up the earth with
! him. much to the delight of his
friends. who were greatly amused
at his discontinue. The old
bachelor inquired why, when
Eve was manufactured of a
spare rib. g. servant wasn't made at
the same time to wait on her. The
little woman responded promptly:
because Adam never read the news
papers until the sun got down be-
hind the palm trees, and then,
stretching, yawned out: Isn't sup
per most ready, my dear? Not he.
He made the fire and hung the ket-
tie over it himself. I'll venture, and
pulled the radishes, peeled the po-
tatoes and did everything else he
ought to do. He chopped the kind
ling. brought in the coal and did the
chores himself, and he never brought
home half a dozen friends to dinner
when Eve hadn't any fresh pome.
granates.
The little woman stopped a mo-
ment for breath and went on with re-
newed vigor: "And Adam never
stayed out till IL o'clock at politi-
cal meeting, hurrahing for some can
didato. and then scolding because
poor Eve was sitting up and crying
inside the gates. He never played
billiards, rolled tenpins and drove
fast horses, nor choked Eve with
cigar smoke. He never loafed
around corner groceries and saloons
while Eve was rocking little Gains
cradle at home. In short, he didn't
think she was specially created foi
the purpose of waiting on him, and
wasn't under the impression that it
disgraced man to tighten wife's
cares a little. That's the reason
that Eve didn't need hired girl,
and with it is the reason that her de-
scendants do.''
She drew another breath and was
about to continue. when the bache-
Tor pulled his hat down over his eyes
and sneaked away.

TIE coLLEGIAN's STORY.
His Nurse Goes Insane and kills Her
Baby and Herself.

Baby and Herself.
Life is full of tragedy said a
!. middle aged man. 81 am movee to
make this remark by the recollec-
ton of a story told me by my son
when he was home from college on
his vacation. He is at one OF the
Eastern colleges, which one does not
matter. and he is living at a hotel.
last fall an epidemic Of measles
swept over the town. Nearly every
body had them, he among the num-
Der. He is 90 years old. and hal
them bad.
cone Of the women who worked in
the dining room cared for him. She
was what you would call grass
widow, ] suppose Her husband had
left her for some reason or anoth er.
She had q child d weak, puny, mis-
cradle boy, and he was a great care
who always seemed bowed down by
the weight of her woe and was never
known to smile The doctors told
her not to nurse my son for fear that
she would either get the measles
herself or give them to the child.
However the boy had been kind to
her and she said she would look
after him. Things turned out just
as the doctor had expected. She did
carry the measles to the child. He
was taken i'll one afternoon and by
the next morning was suffering ter
rlbly. The doctor came to see the
child and told her that rho must
keep him we'll away f-.-. cold and
draughts OF any kind. She took the
child TO her room and, after looking
after my boy, went up stairs.
She locked the door and deliber-
ately opened the window. Then she
placed the child in his night clothes
in the draught and let him stay
there for two hours. The result
was, of course, that he caught cold
and died within two days. After the
child was buried she came back to
the house and began taking care Of
the other measles patients. She
came down will, it herself one day.
The doctors. who did not know how
it was the child caught such a cold,
gave her the same instructions.
They told her to protect herself from
cold. She was left alone in her
room and she locked the door again.
Then she threw open both windows
and sat down beside one with but
very few clothes on. In two or
three hours some ore thought to 90
up and see her. The door was still
locked. They broke it in and found
her sitting near the window with her
breast barred to the cold, raw wind,
raving maniac. She was put to bed,
but she had calculated wisely. She
was SO tn oroughly chilled that the
disease took fatal turn. and she,
too, died.
1.-The woman, continued the mid
dle-aged man. didn't have nerve
enough to kill herself or the child in
an orthodox manner. The instruc-
tions OF the doctors gave her a hint.
