wrappers, were the first things to st. tract her attention.
 As they had not been sealed, 1t was but few seconds until she was mirth- fully regarding the rival musicians of the one, and feasting her eyes upon the prodigal collection of love tokens contained in the other.
 She had scarcely time, on hearing ap- preaching footsteps, to return the val entines to the wrappers, unconsciously changing them in her haste, and take up her broom with as innocent an ex- pression as the occasion demanded, when Mir. Podd hurriedly entered, picked up the envelopes, sealed them, and thrust them into his pocket, to- tally ignorant of the exchange which had been made.
 That evening after business Mir. Podd sought the nearest tonsorial artist, un- der whose especial care he placed him- self for the next half hour, then he wended his happy way to the abode of his souls ideal.
 Imagine the consternation of the hapless MT. Podd, who, on presenting himself to the fair Miss Melinda, se- cure In the expectation of a cordial greeting perhaps a tender one found himself met with chilling scorn, while that young lady dramatically waved him hence.
 "Begone you villain" she wrathfully exclaimed, in true stage parlance, and with another tragic wave of her hand.
 "Why, Miss Melinda, began the as founded Mir. Podd.
 Don't Miss Melinda me, you base hypocrite, you!' screamed the yNang lady, allowing her temper to overcome her predilection for heroics
 Great Jupiter! My dear Miss Me linda," stammered the unfortunate Mir. Podd.

THE PESO COMPANY.

The above is the style of the firm which manufactures Piso's Cure for Consumption and Piso's Remedy for Catarrh, at Warren, Pa. The company was recently incorpor- ated, succeeding k. T. Hazeltine, under whose name tho, business has been com ducted for many years. In fact the busi- ness was established in 1864, when $95 was paid for the first barrel of sugar bought, that was B cents a pound other things were proportionately high, as much of the Piso Cure is now sold for 25 cents as was then for $100
 While the firm has been very persistent advertiser in newspapers, its aggregate out lay annually has been comparatively small, 80 that tho steady and rapid increase in sales to their present large proportions cer- tainly indicates that Piso's Cure for Con sumption possesses high merit as q remedy for coughs, colds and throat and lung troubles generally. The pleasant taste of the cure has doubtless contributed materi- ally to it's popularity.
 Growth in business has necessitated the invention of numerous labor-saving ma chimes. Notable among these are apparatus for washing, filling, corking and sealing bottles with which three men easily turn out 2,000 bottles an hour. In the advertis- ing department improved machines in the biDdery finish 100000 Pocket Book Alma macs in a day with only twenty operators. Another labor saver is the box machine on which one man puts together thousand cartons daily which are filled with dozen Piso's Cure for Consumption by another man in the same space of time.
 The Plso Company gives steady employ ment to small army of workers, of both sexes, and its uniform liberal treatment of employees is topic of much favorable con- ment among the citizens of Warren. Alto gether the prosperity of the company ap- pears to be peculiarly deserved.

 My child! don't let such a misera- ble creature disturb you," said the mother, soothingly; then, pointing to the outer door, said:
 'Get right out O here, an don't put your foot nigh this house az in. If was man Ed learn you how to insult un- protected ladies" she added, as part ing injunction when Mr Podd, with his hand pressed to his head in a dazed sort of way, turned and fled into the darkness.
 An hour or two afterward, as he stole dejeetedly into his lodgings he met at the door his landladys daugh- ter, who had his sentimental valentine in her hand, and beamed upon him d happy smile.
 "Oh, Mir. Podd!" she tenderly ex- claimed, "how can 1 ever thank you for this too awfully lovely valentine? I've been watchin' for you ever since supper Do come into the parlor, where there is a nice warm fire an things look cozy."
 Poor Mir Podd! He muttered some thing about being consumed by rag ing headache and declining all prof fered remedies he went hastily to his room, where, locking himself securely within, he gave up fully to the anguish of the hour.
 It is cause for little wonder, there fore, that any allusion to St. Valen- tines day now causes deep depression to settle on his once susceptible heart and a chill to pervade his sensitive being. g.-Detroit Free Press.

accurate state of his feelings, and Mr, Podd at once decided on adopting sim liar measures in an avowal of the pas sion that alike consumed his soul and salary.
 Now, it would seem that from we'll stocked assortment of valentines, one might readily make selection, but Mir. Podd found a difficult task.
 Many of these dainty messengers ap- peared too cold and indifferent to suit the critical taste of this customer; others were of too obscure a nature to portray the proper intensity of emo tion that stirred the profound depths of Mir. Podd's soul.
 Finally he chose one, in which arrow pierced hearts and very fat cupids- who were evidently in the same plight as Flora McFlimsey together with congenial doves, clasped hands, mot toes of truth. fidelity, constancy and devotion, with other symbols repre- senting harmonious state of affairs generally, were scattered prodiga11y over gilded paper in filigree design.
 Added to this was an amatory sonnet, M hCIClh uONC. AONC1 bliNn, hisNHi 0bSss were worked up in several lines of choicest machine poetry, while the finale was a suggestive sketch of a de- voted couple before an altar, and o1lici- ating clergyman, with another fat cu pid in the background, wearing a highly contented expression and nothing else.
 As Mir. Podd turned to go his eyes fell on pile of comic valentines which lay near.
 Some one has said the destiny of nation turns frequently upon small pivot That of an individual is often as delicately poised.
 This careless glance proved the turn ing point which overthrow fortune, and enthroned her unwelcome kins- woman in the near future of Mir. Podd's existence.
 The topmost valentine portrayed spinsterly y-loolling female, seated at an anticipated piano which she was be- laboring in blood-curdling way in ac- compartment to some operatic gem, supposed to be issuing from her very extensive mouth. An unhappy feline, WlIn dGCHSu DdCh, uiStcutlSt tNtS anu enlarged caudle appendage, lifted up her agonized wall from an adjacent fence. Below this sketch was verse, in which comparison between the two singers was much in favor of the cat.
 An evil thought, perhaps, born of recent request for arrears for board, entered the mind of Mr. Podd to be- stow this souvenir of St. Valentine on the landlady's daughter, who also thrummed the piano, and acting on the sudden impulse he bought the missive
 When at his lodgings he directed both valentines, feeling secure on the one hand that his landlady's daughter was not familiar with his penman- ship, and writing on the sentimental one the initials, ]. C. P, that Miss Melinda might not mistake the sender.
 On St. Valentines day, Mr. Podd arose somewhat later than usual, and hurriedly went down to breakfast, forgetting the two missives lying upon the table in his room.
 While he was eating the maid-of-all- work started on her cleaning tour, and with the proverbial acuteness that enables members of her ill< to detect anything save dirt O.. disorder, the two forgotten valentines, in their white

 Owing to these several advantages he fingered on, yet refused to allow his perverted heart to be softened by tho Embellishments of the daughter more than was essential to his own com fort and convenience as a privileged boarder.
 When he wished an extension of credit or to secure some especial favor MT. Podd was wont to escort his land lady's daughter, in whose fashioning nature had neglected to include any "omeliness, to some place of worship or to an entertainment where the price of admission was most moderate, suffer- ing untold anxiety the while lest the odious Tom Jones should be basking in the sunlight of Miss Melinda's pres ence during this voluntary exile on his part.
 MT. Podd's finances were slowly re- covering from the severe drain to which they had been subjected during
  the Christmas. February he was walk ing leisurely from business towards his lodgings, calculating a method by which he might be able to pay some bills, long since due, yet retain suffi- cient surplus to treat the fair Melinda to sleigh ride, recklessly promised at time when the weather gave strong and almost certain indications of verg- ing into balmy spring, while, with perversity known Tn no other thing save women, it now gave as positive evidence'of speedy fall of snow.
 As he passed down the street his at tention was drawn to a crowd gathered before stationer's window. and promi- nent among them was the ever obnox- ious Tom Jones, who, with the others was absorbed in the contemplation of display of valentines.
 At once the green-eyed monster sug- gested the idea that this exasperating rival was even then engaged in select ing one of those dainty missives by means of which he might convey to the object of their common admiration an

The Moqui Indians of Arizona, who live in the high table lands, believe that they are the only people in the world outside of the four companies of the United States cavalry that they saw about two years ago. The old chief Soloma was taken to Washing ton in 1889, and when he came back and told about seeing thousands of white men and many tall buildings, he was believed to be insane. He was put in hole and kept on low diet until he admitted that the Moquois were the only people on earth.
