The value to health of the pure liquid

and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

A poorly dressed old man walked into

lowed this up by taking more bills out

AMERICANS IN EUROPE.
The English Boniface Is Making Prepara-
tions to Entertain Many of Us This Year.

tions to Entertain Many of Us This Year.
Already the indications are that more
Americans are coming to Europe this
year than ever before. The proprietors of
the principal hotels in London are rejOic-
ing over the fact that they have received
more applications for apartments dur
ing the season from all parts of the
United States than at SO early date in
any previous year. 1t their ezpecta
tions are unfulflled, it will be dismal
time for the English boniface, for the
best of them found the balance on the
wrong side of the ledger last year, and
America is the sole nope for many of
them. One thing only it was feared
might check the exodus, and that dan
ger is probably over. Most of the steam
ship lines made some advance in first
class fares last season in anticipation of
Worlds fair travel. 1t proved to be the
most Improbable year for a long time.
The recent conference Of managers of
the principal lines discussed the point
unoflicially, but the managers were al
most unanimous in opposing a further
advance.
The agents recognize that the bulk of
American summer travel comprises
clergymen, schoolteachers and others
having moderate salaries and long va
cations. A heavier tax would keep
them at home. 1t is further argued that
these classes rather profit than suffer by
the hard times, SO it is expected that
travel this year will be unusually large.

Samuel R. Jordan has just given the
Journal an account of his life, which,
in view of his extremely hard lot fol-
the past few years will be read with
interest.
81 am 48 years old and have always
lived in New Portland. l enlisted IN
the army in 1862 as private In Com

army experience injured my health to
some extent, although l worked at
blacksmithing some part of the time,
when suddenly, several years ago, l

clans pronounced LocomotOr Ataxia.
At first | could get around somewhat
yet the disease progressed quite rapidly

legs and feet, they felt like sticks OF
wood and | grew so much worse that
could not move for three years without
help, as my neighbors and friends
could testify. employed several ply
sicians in my vicinity, and elsewhere,
and they all told me that medicines
would not help me, that they could do
nothing to effect a cure and that IN
time | should become entirely helpless.
[ became discouraged. was great
care to my wife and friends. Shortly
ter met an old army comrade, Mr..
All. Parlin, a resident of Madison,
Me-, and he incidently mentioned how
he had tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for a severe case of rheumatism and a
spinal and malarial trouble, that he
had suffered in consequence OF his army
life, and had been greatly benefited by
their use. By his earnest recommended
ton l was induced to try the pills
After taking them for time | began
to feel prickly sensations in my legs
and return of strength so l could
move them little. After a few weeks
began to feel marked improvement
in my condition. | soon was enabled
to walk around little with the help
Of crutches. After taking for some

my general health is much improved
and have regained my old-time vigor.

Pertinent Inscriptions.

1t is quite an interesting thing to
learn that some of our best knowns
proverbs and notices were originally
used in connection with sundials. Be
fore the days of watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude means of reckoning time. it
was a prevailing custom to inscribe
them.
Among the maxims traceable to this
source are, Make hay while the sun
shines, " The longest day must end"
and "All things do wax and wane."
Sundials spoke the truth, as may be
inferred from a historic one which was
placed on st. Paul's cross, in London,
and which proclaimed, Il number none
but sunny hours" This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
dial on an overcast day.
A famous dial in Sussex, England,
bore four famous notices applicable to
the flight of time and the brevity of
life. They were as follows: After
darkness, light" Alas. how swift"
Il warn whilst move and 80 passes

Another old sundial spoke petulant-
ly about the same subject in the words,
"Sirrah, be gone about your business. +"

To Save the Spectators.

The bishop of London has ordered his
clergy to make special effort during
Lent on behalf of the worldlings of the
Stock Exchange and Lombard street,
who certainly need spiritual awaken
ing as much as the poor east end. The
bishops scheme includes midday serv-
ices at various ancient city churches,
and as business is very slack they have
been so far we'll attended
The stock produce brokers regard the
scheme as remarkably funny joke and
consider it their duty to help it along.
On Thursday during dull interval on
the Stock Exchange somebody suggested
a special mission on behalf of the souls
of the bucket shop keepers, whereat
there was much enthusiasm. London

who had noticed his friends uneasiness
and who from experience guessed the
cause, suggested himself THAT they
should just have round or two at cards
to see how much he had forgotten in 10
years.
''But thought you had quite given
up playing for ever and everT' objected
his friend.
Eyes, as a regular habit I have, but
it is quite another thing to have game
quietly here like this
Rouval was only too delighted and
pulled the card table out with alacrity.
De Saumur played at first carelessly.
He had only proposed it out of con-
sideration to his friend, and he felt
rather bored. Rouval kept winning and
appeared so contented with himself ana
had such triumphant manner that DE
Saumur found himself getting interest
ed and excited in spite of himself. The
more he lost the more persistent he be-
came. 1t was as though the old passion
of former days which for 10 years had
been kept in contl oil by his strong will
had completely got the mastery of him.
At first the stakes had been insignificant,
but as he continued to lose he became
more and more desperate, until at last
the amount was getting so serious that
Rouval did not wish to continue.
"But as l have been the loser so far,
said De Saumur, "you cannot refuse to
60 on surely!'
ut is not for my own sake, but l
don't like it, Gilbert. You are here at
my house, and you are playing desper-
ate stakes"
"Well, that's my own lookout. It's
your turn to cut"
Day was beginning to break, and the
two men were still seated at the card
table. They had played all night, and
now their eyes were fiery with excite
ment, and their hands trembled as they
handled the cards.
At last Gilbert de Saumur exclaimed,
"There, cannot go on any more!'
Rouval looked at him anxiously,
thinking that he was ill, but he contin-
ued:
mo, I've come to an end, that's all.
I cannot go on, because you have won
nearly every cent I possess. I'll give
you check on my banker for it, and
that settles it,"
A dead silence followed these words.
What was to be done? The play had
been strictly fair, and Rouval had won
it fairly.
my dear fellow" said Rouval as De
Saumur finished writing out the check,
Il cannot take it all. Keep something
for yourself. -
81 have e40 left" replied De Sau-
muir coldly. ''That will be enough to
get back where came from. Work is
better for me than fortune. | have
proved that twice. thought now was
cured, but it appears was mistaken. l
suppose now l shall never see Paris
again. Goodby, Rouval."
And he got up, and opening the door
took his hat from the peg in the hall
and went down stairs, followed by Rou-
val, who accompanied him to the hall
door, and who, when he had closed it
after his friend, went back to his smok-
ing den and paced up and down the
room until it was broad daylight.
Very odd," was the verdict at the
club the next evening. mot quite the
thing to take everything the poor fell

him back to perpetual exile. million.
