From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t has recently leaked out that Sum-
mer Widowers' Club exists in Louisville
The organization is made up of a number
of vfvacious unmarried girls and widows,
who have made up their minds that women
who go away and leave their husbands in
summer ought to be made to smart for 1t;
consequently, they have constituted them
selves into a systematiZed band to look Up
all these neglected men and make things
pleasant for them. According to the by
laws, only one widower is entertained at
time; therefore, the lucky fellow who gets
into the curriculum of the club has an In
teresting time of it. He is first given
debut party, and receives unnumbered at
tentions from all the girls and widows In
their prettiest summer gowns. Then other
functions folow-dinners bicycle teas
moonlight picnics and all manner of gay
ETY. calculated to make him have a good
time. A pleasant feature Of the program is
that formal invitations to all these events
are malciousiy mailed to the dear wife
who is summering many miles away.

Where He Died.

E. V. smalley's New York Letter
The portly landlord of the hotel where I
stop surprised me the other day by say
ing that he was once killed by being
thrown from a horse, and that he has ever
since been afraid Of horses. 1 looked at
him closely for some twinkle of humor in
his eyes, but there was none. He went on
to explain that it was in his last incarna-
ton that this accident occurred, and that
while travelling by rail from Boston to New
York a few years ago he recognized the ex-
act spot between Worcester and Springfield
where he met with his death, and all the
circumstances came back to his memory
with perfect distinctness. The landlord
weighs $50 pounds, and no one would
charge him with being a dreamy or i'm
practical sort of a person. He has written
book, hich he is going to have pub
lshed after his death. 1t is SO radical, he
says, that it wouldn't be comfortable for
him to have it appear during his lifetime

cross and cut to death. When these peo-
pie marry they use no go-betweens and
make no distinctions between old and
young. Two wives may not be
taken, they say, because heaven created one
man and one woman at first. In these
countries therefore, concubnage is not
pracuced, but no unchastity in other di-
rect!ons is forbidden. When a father dies
h;s son may marry the mother who bore
him. When a dies, his father may

Stories of Wicked Missionaries.

pretending to show how the missionaries
act. i quote a few:
Chang Chow Tsai was a boat tracker

dren and scooping out their hearts and
eyes he could earn $50 a set.
"A foreign devil Ga missionary at Canton
went dropping poison into the we'll at night.
Every one fell i'll of a strange disease
which could only be cured by foreign doc
tors. Untold numbers died. At last it was
found out. Thirty of these men were ar
rested and put to death.
AT TieR-Tsin these men used constantly
to beguile and entice away young children
IN order to scoop out the eyes and hearts
When the people discovered it they tore
down their tall foreign houses and found

Missionary pills.
In many of these tracts the statement is
made that the missionaries and the priests
give pills to the Chinese which make them
forget their ancestors, and bring them en-

Spring Medicine
The best Preparation for this Purpose is
HOODS ~SARSAPARILLA

Spring is the season for cleansing
and renewing the blood. During the
winter it has crept sluggishly through
the veins, gathering impurities from
indoor air, from fatty substances in the
food, and from many other sources.
The great blood purifying medicine
especially prepared to do this work is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t will give to
the blood purity, richness and vitality
and these will bring health and vigor,
strong nerves, a good appetite, refresh
ing sleep, and powers of endurance.
Cleanse your blood by taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla, a ~renovating preparation
especially prepared to make pure
blood, then you may enjoy the season
of flowers and birds and out door
pleasures, for you will be healthy,
strong and well. Get only Hoods.
