What the Minister Himself Says Re-
garding His Wonderful Case.
Read Every Word Of His Remarkable State

Rev. John PettingiII. Pastor Free VIII
Baptist Church, hoclxiand. NJ aiDe Says:

| For years | was troubled with most
alarming and painful symptoms of dys-
| pepsa, indigestion, heartburn, headache
| and sleeplessness During these many
| years Of illness | consulted the best Of au-
! thoritics on the diseases of the digestive
organs, specialists of great renown pro
nouncing my case hopeless, some assert
| ing that my stomach was infested with
cancers. | have tried countless numbers
| of So-called medicines that We're recon-
mendCd to me or otherwise bought to my
notice. Like drowning man catching at
II straw l would buy bottles after bottles Of
Sarsaparilla and other medicines | saw
advertised in the papers, giving them all
Il thorough trial. All of these, although
highly spoken of by persons whose intcg-
rity ! could not doubt, proved worse than
useless in my case, and / kept growing
steadily worse / became at last con
WINGED that the numerous physicians |
had consulted We're right, and that my
disease was indeed incurable. Giving up
all hopes, the only course left for me was
to reduce the pain to u minimum. This
was obtained by eating as little as would
keep body and soul together, and alb
staining from all substances containing
fats, sugar and starch. Some months
since Il kind friend gave me a bottle of
Red seal Sarsaparilla. At first | would
not take it as l had lost faith in every
thing, believing that(iod alone could bring
relief Being told, however. that this Sar-
Saparilla was prepared in a peculiar man
ncr Of its own whereby certain injurious
principles contained in most all such pre-
Iarations We're cffectually eliminated, ! at
last but still without much hope, gave it
u trial / ferVcntly thank God that in His
goodness He has allowed me to find this
precious medicine. Finding relief with
the first bottle | obtained more, and kept
taking it until today / am completely
cured and as well man as ever drew the
breath of life.
] am convinced Of the superiority Of the
Red Seal Sarsaparilla over all others
have tried, and consider it my solemn duty
to tell what / have told in the foregoing
so that others like myself suffering from
dyspepsia or kindred diseases of the digcs-
tive organs may be cured by this wonder
full medicine.
This statement is made of my own free
will and without any solicitation from the
company owning and manufacturing this
Sarsaparilla.

FRUIT LUNCHEONS.
How to Prepare PaIatable Warm
 Weather Repast.

How to Prepare q Palatable Warm
 Weather Repast.
 As the fruit season comes again, all good housekeepers who like to enter tain are fond of making plans for dainty little luncheons, to which they may invite their very dearest friends. An orange luncheon has already been described, and awberry and banana luncheon is we'll worth few notes. It may be said just here that fruit salad composed of strawberries, bananas and oranges is one of the most delicious things imaginable. It is not difficult to get up fruit luncheons, provided one has some dainty china, fine table linen and small amount of cut glass and silver. Oranges should be prepared in the morning, cut into slices and sprinliled with sugar and set in the ice-b box. The bananas must be left until the last moment, as they turn black when cut any time before using, but they may be laid in the ice-box if one likes them very cold. Strawber ries may be hulled immediately on their receipt. This is best done by dropping them for few moments into cold water, whirling them gently around, then lifting them out one by one, picking off the hulls and placing them carefully on dish. These in turn may be set into the ice-box, but under no circumstances should they come in contact with the ice; straw berries lose their most delicate flavor once they are chilled. If kept per fectly cold until time to serve them, they will be exceedingly fresh and crisp. A few fresh strawberry leaves may be placed around the edge of the dish in which the berries are served. A portion of them may be mixed with the bananas and oranges, or they may be served into the same dish if the guests prefer. Strawberry ice-cream and strawberry short-cake are the usual accompaniments
 l, Among the most appropriate decora- tions are hawthorn blossoms, if the season admits. There are also many wild flowers that closely resemble the strawberry, quite enough so, at least, to pass as decoration. Roses are al- | lowable, and there should be an abundance of green, of which there is no lack in strawberry time. Straw berry leaves, properly handled, are very effective in decorating the room when mixed with other greens.
 | Sandwiches of boiled tongue are very nice and delicate. The bread should be cut very thin, and the butter must be of the finest quality. Nothing is so | 5;s,ono;nt;np as a sandwich in which the butter is not satisfactory.
 Iced tea and lemonade, with oranges and strawberries, or claret punch, will be found most satisfactory beverages IN, I. Ledger.

high iron fence, the gates are closed, and the poor people of the republic can only gaze through the bars and sniff the incense of nature, vainly longing for closer contact with the rare exotic beauties which the public servants withhold from their sovereign rulers. The great Bartholdi fountain is playing its crystal streams beneath electric lights; but children, women and men may view it only between the inter- stices of the rails, and wonder why the bars are there. But, even under these circumstances, we can enjoy the beau ties and fragrance of the place which millions of our countrymcn would gladly view, and who must envy us as favored and pampered people.
 Between these gardens and the white house grounds, south of Pennsylvania avenue, for nearly mile there is one continuous verdure wn,ch includes the arsenal, national museum, Smithsonian, agricultural department and monu- ment parks, oversprcad with the branches of ancient trees in which the swallows, robins and other aerial in. habitants twitter, chirp and sing until lulled to slumber by their own music. These places belong to the people, but when the shades of night are falling fast they are usually forsaken by ladies and children because the lshmaelites congregate there; the men whom cir cumstances and conditions have rem dered homeless, friendless and, there fore, not wholly amia5le. They are the men whose hands are against every man, and who feel that the hands of all mankind aro raised against them. They people the Mall at night. just as the birds people the trees.

chance for failure if she tried to start

chance for failure If she tried to start the heavy train, Phoebe darted back and pulled the coupling-pin between the tender and the first car, running forward again to climb into the engine just as the first stragglers of the crowd began to come up. They gave her but moment, but that was enough. Engine 399 had an easy throttle, and Phoebe had opened it more than once. The vanguard of the tramp army saw flutter of skirts on the footboard, heard hissing of steam in the cylinders and two or three sharp coughs from the exhaust, and then the big mogul dropped from the end of the open switch and plowed into the ties, blocking the track as etfectually as fifty tons of iron and steel could do it.
 Phoebe did not wait to see what would happen afterward. She had done her part; there would be no col- lision; and they could not blame her father for something that he had no hand in. She was safe in Mrs. Han nah's kitchen by the time the special whistle Il for the station; and when the train rattled up and the sounds of the fray floated across the tracks to her refuge, she hid her face in Mrs. Han nah's apron and cried as any other girl might whose father and uncle were in the thick of a battle.
 There, there, Phoebe, girl: don't cry, dear; they'll be all right" com forted Mrs. Hannah, and she was still trying to console Phoebe when Tom Norman ran in.
 Where is she? Where's the little girl that's got more sense and sand than all the rest of us put together?"
 Phoebe looked up quickly. ''Oh, Uncle Tom, where's pa? Is he hurt?''
 'No, he's all right; only they're about to smother him with praise. MT. Johnson's over at the station, and he wants to see you"
 Five minutes later a shy little girl with tear-stained face was led into the presence of the superintendent, who sat at the telegraph-desk sending messages right and left. He rose and | took Phebe's hands in his in a way that made the little group of trainmen forget for the moment that he was the stern "old man" of the division.
 And this is the little girl who ditches our engines, is it?" he said What put such a thing into youl head, my child?"
 'Oh, it didn't have to be put in; knew there would be head-ender if didn't do something quick, and couldn't think of anything else"
 Mir. Johnson smiled at the ready re lapse into railway phrase, and said: 'I'

was bright thought; it has saved us a good many dollars, and probably some lives, too. Now, if the company were good fairy, like those in the story-books, what would you ask for a reward?'
 Phoebe had sudden inspiration. "Oh, Mir. Johnson, there's one thing that would make me happier than any thing else; if pa could only have good run, so we could live in real town'
 Mir. Johnson looked around at the circle of friendly faces. II think your father has earned that for himself" he said, quietly. "Is that the only thing you want?"
 "Oh, no, indeed" replied Phoebe, candidly; but, you see, if we lived in town, perhaps I could get some of the other things. We might happen to get acquainted with somebody that had piano, and then, maybe, could learn to play, and" Here Phoebe suddenly realized that she was chat tering-actually chattering to the man of whom everyone on the division stood in awe, and she shut up like an oyster that had been caught mapping with its shell open.
 The superintendent laughed at her confusion and sat down to finish his telegraphing. "When the general manager hears that, I'm sure he'll be sorry that the company doesn't run a piano-factory, he said; whereat the men laughed, too
 MT. Johnson had a little private con ver5ation with Artley and Norman that night after Phoebe had gone back to Mrs Hannah, and several things came of it. For one, the engineer got his smart "eight-wheeler" and pas senger run with the promptness that characterizes western railway promo tion when the head of department makes up his mind; and, at the same time, Norman found his way smoothed for a transfer in Q most miraculous manner. A third event growing out of the same talk concerned Phoebe, but she knew nothing about it until one day, after they were settled in a com fortable cottage in the real town" a van drove up to the door with :l piano. It was a gift from the railway com pany to Phoebe; and on silver plate just above the keyboard was the in. scription:

When the sun has given the placid waters of the Potomac his brilliant goodnight kiss, and touched with gold the tall treetops on the warm tinted heights and hills; when the aluminium tip of the Washington monument and the bronze goddess on the capitol dome have cast their last shadows, it is pleas ant to roam through the public parks and stroll in the twilight along the Mall, to commune with nature in the midst of wilderness of architecture and artificial human existence.

 <G4WE of Jo hn Artley,
 % PCn whose run on the
 0I%&S Western division be- I%AsWlAM gan and ended at HN@1W EA y 0rival Junction. The &Se.S% v RM junction C Il sisted M gEH ON,W of a round-house, the %SA %y railway station, j$SsSS%S% few h Il t ies, a dreary b oar ding VI house and choice roI,ection of future possibilities; but Pbube, being motherless, spent much 7fbnr time on her fathers engine, or ;r her unclc's office at the station, and so rot larger view of life than the junction itself could give.
 At fourteen she had two ambitions. One was for her father, reaching out to the time when he should have a smart "eight-wheeler" and a passenger ,un. The other dated from trip to Cheyenne with her father when he was a member of the grievance com mittcc.
 "Youn have to put in your time around the hotel while l go to the ,,;eetiug," he had told her; and Phoebe bctyok herself to the parlor, where a smartly-dressed young woman was playing upon an ancient and some what ''tin-panny" piano. The music was of the kind called popular" aud ehe performer played as the lrishman blew the cornct-by main strength and lyl5wardness-but Phoebe went back 70 Orival Junction that night with a conviction that life was scarcely worth living without piano and the ability coplay it.
 She said something of the kind to her uncle the next day when she was helping him on the coal report, and he laughed at her.
 Il thought you were beyond such things" he said. "A girl who can run locomotive, figure bills of lading and telegraph the arm off half the operators on the line to be wanting such fine lady's plaything as piano"
 ''Oh, but, Uncle Tom, you just ought to have heard her! She played and played till l forgot who l was and where I came from. You can't think now beautiful it was!'
 ''Ycs, can. l was night operator al Cheyenne once, and actually lived 1T the house with that piano for si' months. And 1 hope everybody wh' kept me awake with it when l Wal trying to catch up on my sleep will b. ha allnH tal.inr fhI Freight Forwarded' book from th' safe.
 Don't you like music, Uncle Tom? she asked, getting the bunch of ab stracts to call off to him.
 "Oh, music, yes-but that's different We used to have music back at the ol' home in Ohio; your Aunt Ph1b played the organ in church, and w sang in the choir, first and last"
 "Did ma play?'
 "Yes."
 'Well, ,d mean to learn, and l meal 50 have piano, too, sometime. wis pa could get a run so we could live il a town; then might hear music ono in awhile anyway"
 But what would become of me? couldn't get along without you"
 You'd come, too. As if I didn' .. know that you keep this job just SO to be with us."
 That was the fact. Tom Norman had transferred his love for his favor ite sister to her child, and he had fol lowed John Artley's shifting fortune from one desolate division station | another, for the sole purpose of watch ing over and caring for Phoebe
