MISTOOK HIS MAN.
How the President Of Switzerland
Camped Out.


Camped Out.
An amusing story is told of the late ex-
President Schenk of Switzerland. Unlike
other potentates of Europe, he has been
known for years past to spend his annual
vacations in tramping among the Alps with
one or more of his sons. Thus during the
year of his last presidency 1888 he started
off with two sons upon a tramp through
one of the adjacent mountain provinces of
France. and, as he was wont to do, took
along the requisite camping material, such
as is used by the army of Switzerland when
engaged in annual maneuvers. Arriving
one evening late in the suburbs of vii
lage, the party proceeded to put up their
tent and prepare for supper, when the
gendarme of the place came up and
ordered them away. or first proceed to the
mayor under arrest and secure a permit.
President Schenk. although somewhat
fatigued, at once strapped on his knapsack
and accompanied the officer to the mayor,
rather amused than vexed by the turn
things had taken. Upon being confronted
by the mayor, President Schenk presented
his passport, signed by himself, and duly
authenticated by the French ambassador at
Berne, Count Laufrey, which referred to
the bearer as His eNcellency, the Presi-
dent of the Swiss Confederation" At first
the mayor seemed quite dumfounded, but,
recovering himself, at once, in the most
obsequious manner, begged the president to
excuse the action of the police officer, and
fairly pleaded to have him accept the hos
pitality of the town, lest it might be said
his corpoI alton had failed to becomingly
honor so distinguished guest. But Presi-
dent Schenk, in his habitual good humor,
soon quoted the agitated mayor, and as
sured him the highest honor that could be
offered to him would be to let him do as he
pleased, and it would please him most to be
allowed to camp out with his party, as had
all along been his practice. when upon his
annual vacation tramps President Schenk
as usual. slept in his tent that night upon
an open field,

Mr.. Warren meant this remark honestly
er ough as a reply to the original question:
hut Newcomb misinterpreted it.
Mick. you're dodging,' he said, almost
sternly, you know We meant to ask about
the attempt to murder the stranger in your
house.
"And told you I don't know
There was a dissatisfied expression on
Newcomb's face as he examined the bark
dust on his fingers ends and Turner and
king remained immovable and glum.
Il don't know what what right you've
got to say that I'm lodging" said Warren,
after pause. You've known me here for
twenty-five years, and l don't believe

Wen low that, Nick" cautiously re-
marked Newcomb: ''but about this man,

Warren compressed his lips. and for the
first time since the conversation began
he caught Newcomb's eyes.
Yes he answered, there is

gaze Of the old soldier.

Nick, as how We had a right to know"

the other had rot changed the direction Of

If You Stop to Think

You will realize that there is one
great cause for all these troubles.
which is summed up in the word
weakness. You will also admit, if
you stop to think, that there is one
great way by which it can all be
avoided or cured. That way is by
the use of the only one great known
remedy for all such troubles, which
is Warmers Safe Cure. Ask any
physician, male or female, or pro-
fessional nurse, any scientific man or
woman of standing and research,
any druggist who is worthy, and YOU
will find that this is true. Why then
will women suffer when the best of
modern and scientific relief is at
hand? o1o

of other events. Who had borrowed Dr.
Nason's horse for a swift ride? Who had
swept up the ashes OF the cabin? Who had
struck down Freeman Dutton?
Mr.. Warren rose more troubled than
when he had sat down, but he had come
to decision. Diamond, as this pebble I'M
doubtedly was. he would restore it to Dut-
tons pocket, and thus. If possible. elude
further anxiety on account of it. He left
the barn intending TO go directly to the
spare DOM and replace 1t, even at the risk
of exposing his operation to his wife.
Just turning in at the gate were Turner,
King and Alvah Newcomb. They met him
near the log where he had attempted to
file the stone.
''Mornin. Nick" said Turner, "how's the
stranger?'
Pretty comfortable" replied Mr. War
rem, but he hasn't been wholly conscious
YETI
Their faces were grave, and Warren
noticed that they avoided looking direc tly
at him. 1t was like his neighbors to call
thus early when anything of unusual in
terest bad happened that concerned him;
they had strolled in like this on the rare
occasions of illness in the family, but it
was not like them to glance sideways and
shift from one foot to the other. as if they
were debating whether to make some lis
agr eeabie announcement.
King sat down on the log, and putting
his elbows on his knees. stared with as
sumed Indifference at the milk shed. Tur-
Fer followed suit, and Newcomb remained
standing with one foot on the log and his
elbow on his knee.

Operations With Skill.
Boston Cor. Hartford Times
When DR.. James r. Cooke was two
months old both of his eyes were ruined by
laundering doctor, who administered a
wrong medicine. Since then he has been
totally blind. He is now thirty-two years
of age. He locates disease by his sensi-
tive touch, and he tells the color of goods
in the same way, singular as 1t may appear.
A lady, who had eight or ten samples of
dress goods. each about three inches square,
handed them to DR.. Cooke the other day.
and he at once told accurately the color
and even the shade of color of each, and
selected the samples Of the best quality.
When handed several national bank and
government currency bills, he at once told
the denomination of each and the color,
whether green or black. He tells the COM
pleNion Of person by touching the skin.
1t Is difficult to believe that a blind man
could do this. but he is seen to do it, and
accurately, too.
