nothing peculiar about this, except
that the bride is the same lady that

Prof. and Mrs. George Bethers
gave social party at their residence
Wednesday evening, for the enter
tainment of a few of the Professors
pupils. The evening was spent in
playing charades, music, etc., until
10 o'clock, when sutnptious and
delightful lunch was served.
Among those present were, Misses
Maud RAIDER, Bertha Plumkett,
Efie Crosno, Belle Butler, Sada and
Anna Chambers, Olive Logan,
Minnie Smith and Ruth Gather
Messrs. Geo. McCluskey, Joe Ewing
Chas. Collins, Alden Crosno, Fred

giving in detail all his mishaps.
We have not room to tell how he
got stuck on sand bar, blowed in
to the brush, fell off into the river,
tried for two hours to tow the thing
with the anchor out, and the worst
of all got his dog in trap. 1t is

WEAK NERVES

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything. that the Or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of Che general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

Charles sumner once had an experi- ence which taught him that he was both known and unknown, even in Boston. He was on his way, riding in street car, to attend a social meeting at the Church of the Disciples, to which he had been invited by the pastor, Dr. James Freeman Clarke, when two sug- gestive incidents happened. While in the car he asked gentleman the exact locality of the church. The gentleman told him, and then said: Are you & stranger, sir?' showing that there was a Bostonian who did not know MT. Sumner by sight. But boy in the ear jumped out when Mir Sumner reached his destination. and said: "Mr. Sum her will you please write your name in my album?1 They stopped under a street lamp and Mr Sumner wrote his name.
