He Had Taken Her Advice and Gone
The blinds were carefully lowered,
as she lay on . couch with the SMELL
ing salts in her hand. When her
dearest friend came into the room she
exclaimed:
mercy. does your head ache or
hasn't your new gown come homer"
Dyspepsia. evidently, dear; you
should take-''
"Oh, don't; i want sympathy but
not prescriptions. It's about Dick. "
"Of course. But I can't really
sympathize until I know what it's
about"
"Well. it was Dick and-and my
tooth"
..Mercy. 1 hope you didn't bite him!
There, don't be angry; I'm grave,
grave as family tomb. Don't keep
me in suspense"
-.Wel then, you know l have a
tooth that l cut in tho dentists
chair?"
II thought so because you always
said that chewing gum was vulgar" :"
"Yes; and of course I'd rather have
died than let Dick know it. But the
other evening he was here and I was
eating candy when it broke right off. :"
"Good gracious, what on earth"
II managed to conceal it, but
didn't dare to smile again lest he
notice its absence--so l just picked a
quarrel with him"
Naturally it relieved your feelings
too. But what did you quarrel about :"
..Juct tho oarpo old
1.-THE fact that he doesn't workp
But then he has plenty of money
without"

he will call and it is running my hair
to keep it curled all the time"
"Was he very angryP"
O"Awfully-left in half an hour.
The next day had such cold 1
couldn't go to the dentist's--besides
he always stays angry at least three
days. But the following morning 1
had note saying that he had taken
my advice, had secured a position,
and would be up in the evening to
tell me all about it. As soon as l
answered it started for the dentists
and-oh, Dora!"
"Did you meet him on the street,"
"No! No! told the dentist that 1
must have my tooth by o'clock that
evening. He said that he was very
busy, but would send for his new as
sistant and see If he could repair it.
! sat in the chair, with DR.. Nippers
holding the tooth, when who should
walk into the room but"
"Not Dick!"
"Dick and nobody else! He was
the new assistant and, Dora, he
laughed, actually laughed! o, I'll
never speak to him again until my
dying day-but I don't think that will
be very long" And she buried her
head in the pillows while Dora poured
words Of sympathy into deaf ears.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
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
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not

TRY ON SHOES AT HOME.
A New Idss in Buying Shoes hat VIII
he Found Convenient.


he Found Convenient.
There's new thing in the shoe
business. A man who has been at it
In Chicago for number OF years and
knows all about the whims Of custom
srs and the ins and outs of the trade
has hit upon the novel scheme. His
plan is simple but most practical. 1t
is no more than to measure, fit and
omplete the sale at the customers
esidence. An order is received, an
lea given Of the goods desired, and
wagon carrying aminiature shoe stock
is dispatched to the home, accom-
panied by an experienced salesman.
All the details are attended to in the
privacy of the boudoir or reception
room. And thus the feet are shod
without trouble, annoyance or en-
barrassment.
Embarrassment Yes, there is
much of it that is connected with the
purchase of pair of shoes. slippers
or boots in a public store. With
many fashionable and other young
women it is an hour to be dreaded
when the shoe store must be visited.
And visited it must be, as no direc-
tions can be given by which husband,
father or brother can bring home
satisfactory shoe. The styles are con-
stantly changing, and carefully as the
standard sizes may be observed by the
manufacturer. either the foot or the
size of the shoe seems to change at
each new purchase.
The new scheme will also be ap-
proved by many others. How many
portly matrons will hail with delight
the opportunity of selecting their
shoes at homer Then there are house.
wives, young mothers, semi-invalids,
gouty old men, timid young women,
who will appreciate the new idea, and
the mother Of half dozen young
sters, each Of whom has kicked
through all the stout shoe leather of a
few weeks before, can already feel
relief. The husband on his way to
the Office simply leaves directions and
the job is done.

All the good stories of DIR. McCosh were

amiable egotism, which sometimes raised a

especially the point that mankind was put

The Georgia senate has passed a
bill making it penal offense for
any person to make remarks or
write articles that reflect upon the

A. KATZENBERGER DEAD.

Andrew Katzenberger, a German
farmer, residing eight and half
miles west of Redwood Falls, died at
his home on Aug. I'd last, aged "a
years, three weeks and four days.
The funeral occurred from St. Hen
rvs Catholic church, Sheridan, on
Sunday afternoon at three o'clock,
Rev. Fir. Vonderlage officiating. 1t
was largely attended by relatives and
old friends of the deceased.
Mr.. Katzenberger leaves wife and
eight children, four boys and four
girls, all of them grown up, and one
of them being Mrs. VIM. Crooks of
this city.
Mr.. Katzenberger emigrated from
Germany to this country in the year
lS4S, settling near Mendoza, LaSalle
county, Illinois. He was in Chicago
when land could be purchased right
in the heart of the city for a mere
song. A year after coming to this
country he married Miss Mariyam
Miller, remaining near Mendoza after
wards until 1864, when he moved to
Cedar Falls, Iowa, where he and his
brother, also now residing in Redwood
county, purchased and operated a
large farm.
Four years ago he moved on to his
present farm in Redwood county and
has always been considered one of our
most stable citizens.

v. WOLVERTON DEAD.

Val Wolverton, the son of Thomas
and Amelia Wolverton, died at his
home in New Avon last Thursday
morning. He had suffered for many
months with that dreaded disease con-
sumption. For the past few months
he had been watching for the angel
of death to come and bear him away
to his Heavenly home. He leaves a
wife, five small children, an aged IA
ther and mother, four brothers and
one sister to mourn his loss.
Rev. L. L. Hanscom preached the
funeral sermon. His remains were
laid in their last resting place in the
New Avon cemetery.
While the grave was being filled his
wife tainted and was carried home un-
conscious. It was nearly nine o'clock
before she was brought back to con-
sciousness. DR.. Gibson was sum-
moned. 1t was thought by the rela-
tives and friends that she could not
survive but at this writing she is im-
proving.

EVENING OF MUSIC.
Farewell Appearance of Miss
Maud Martin.

Friday evening, Aug. 23d, has been
set aside by the music loving people
of Redwood Falls for a grand musicale
to be given for the benefit of the Ep-
worth League. The programme is
still in an embryo, shape but enough
can be learned from the promulgators
of the entertainment to warrant the
statement that the evening will be
one of the most pleasant musical ev-
enings in the history of Redwood
Falls.
Miss Maud Martin of Rockford,
ILL.,, who has already delighted Red
wood Falls audiences, and who has a
bright future in the vocal music world,
will make her last appearance before
Redwood Falls audience on that ev-
ening. Miss Martin, but recently a
graduate from a Rockford conserva-
tory of music, has been praised by the
Rockford press in a very liberal man
ner. Her soft, sweet voice, ascending
and descending the scale, is entranc-
ing and soothing. On the evening
mentioned it will be heard in several
difficult musical selections written by
well-known artists. .....
Mesdames J.P. Cooper, G r. Pease,
w. B. King. D. A. Stuart, F. w. Phil
brick and the Misses Carrie Isham
and Hattie Beecher and Messrs. Ter
pening, Rogers, Martin and others
will also contribute towards the pro-
gram. These artists need no intro
duction to a Redwood Falls audience
as they are all well-known as worthy
exponents of the various literary and
musical branches to which they lay
claim. -.
That the entertainment will be a
great success there is not the slightest
room for doubt.
