The Value of Advertising.

While Ii is a difficult matter to
Judge the value received from
judicious advertising, the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway has re.
Gently had an illustration Of the
advantage of spreading its good
things before the public. The
other day a man, who does not
live in a metropolis, came into
Dallas to see the sights; he arrived
at the Union depot and the first
thing that struck his eye was the
immense sign board carrying an
ad OF the Katy, which Is SO con-
spicuous that no one but a blind
man could miss seeing it. He
started on down the street and
everywhere his eye was greeted
with the dead walls and bill boards
covered with NJ. X. Il 7. advertise
ment. He finally landed on the
corner Of Main and Lamar streets
and looked at all the signs which
adorn the wall OF the general pas
senger office. The immense sign
board on the corner Of Elm and
Lamar streets also stared him in
the face, and just as he was in
rapt admiration Of the beauties OF
the painters art, a sprinkling
wagon, covered with an ad Of the
Katy Flyer, almost Knocked him
off his pins. "WelI I'll be gosh
darned," he said, "that railroad
not only owns all the old walls in

The Beers Like Americans.

NEW YORK, May THE Herald
this morning says: A couple OF
weeks ago FletcherWebster Jewell
of Johannesburg, South Africa,
arrived in New York with his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jewell are Ameri-
cans, who have been some years in
South Africa. Mr.. Jewell has
made a great deal Of money out
there in the mines. He was in the
midst of the fighting, consequent
on DR.. Jameson's raid and is a
close friend of John Hays Ham
mond who is now a prisoner. and
on Saturday will sail for South
Africa with a petition signed by
members of congress for the par
don Of Mr.. Hammond.
Mr.. Jewell was the only Tit
lander on the side Of the Beers.
He was present at the meeting at
the old fields building in Johannes
berg, when the trouble became Sc
rious. Mr.. Jewell wanted to know
what they were going to fight and
asked for further Information and
not getting an answer refused to
have anything to do with the pro-
posed uprising.
"Englishmen and others had
nothing to complain Of" said Mr..
Jewell, "for everyone of them had
made plenty Of money out there
which proves that the Boer gov
eminent was not tyrranical.
"The Beers and natives all like
Americans and dislike English
men. Americans are on the very
best OF terms with the Beers.

a singular story is reported from st.
Calais. A few days ago several per.
sons were sitting at table in local
hotel, when the splendid mustache of
n horse dealer became the subject of
conversation. One of the members OF
the party complimented the horse deal
e. and asked him for what price he
would sell his mustache. Ten francs"
replied the latter, laughingly. 81 will
buy half of them" said the would-be
purchaser, placing five francs on the
table. The horse dealer put the money
in his pocket and later in the evening
left the hotel. Not quite approaching
the joke, the man who was minus the
five francs sought the aid of the county
court process server, and having laid
the information in regular form
brought action against the horse dealer
for 500 francs damages for non-execu-
lion of his contract.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
Naturalists Say They Can Fly as Fast as
Birds.


1t is popular belief that the fight of
birds is much swifter than that of in
sects; but number of naturalists who
have been making a study of the matter
think that such is not the case.
A common house fly, for example, is
not very rapid in its fight, but its wings
make 500 beats a second, and send it
through the air 25 feet, under ordinary
circumstances, in that space of time.
When the insect is alarmed, however, it
has been found that it can increase it's
rate of speed to over 100 feet per second.
If it could continue such rapid fight for
mile in a straight line it would cover
that distance in exactly 80 seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing, when
travelling by rail in the summer time, to
see bee or wasp keeping up with the
train, and trying 10 get in at one of the
windows.
A swallow is considered one of the
swiftest of flying birds, and it was
thought until recently that no insect
could escape it. A naturalist tells of an
exciting chase he saw between a swal-
low and dragon fly, which is among
the swiftest of insects. The insect few
with incredible speed, and wheeled and
lodged with such ease that the swallow,
despite its utmost efforts completely
Jailed to overtake and capture it.-Phila-

A WEE ROMANCE.
An End-of-the- Century IdyI for the New
Woman.

An End-of-the-C Century Idyl for the New
Woman.
The world has laughed this long time
over suits for breach of promise of mar
riage, says an exchange. In a volume
of English law reports there is recorded
case well-nigh as amusing, whose &C.
casion was not the breach, but the keep
ing of a promise not to marry. The
parties to it were rich, elderly woman
and the nephew whom she meant to
make her heir. He, it appears, fell vio-
lently in love with fascinating young
widow, and might have married her
but that his aunt interviewed. She did
not try threat diplomacy or detect
I've investigation-she was another sort
and knew a trick worth all of them.
She said plumply to the youngster that
so long as he remained free Of the
widow he might count upon receiving
from herself G 500 year. Having
more of prudence than sentiment, he
closed with the offer, and for several
years duly got and spent the promised
sum.
Then the aunt either grew tired of
paying or became less fearful of the
widow, and she would not pay another
ha'penny, so the nephew went to law.
He won his case, for, although the OPP
posing counsel was not admitting the
agreement, declared it could not be en-
forced as contrary to public modesty;
the learned judge thought otherwise.
A promise to abstain wholly from mar
riage, he said, neither could or should
be enforced, but this was to refrain
only from marriage with particular
person, hence the plaintiff was entitled
to recover his whole claim with costs
Sin consideration of having resigned
his natural freedom of marriage"

Malcolm, the first king Of Scotland.
who lived in the eleventh century, was
put to death by Macbeth, perhaps not
exactly as described by Shakespeare,
but at all events the plot of the great
dramatist's play is strictly true to his
tory. The Scottish monarchy is of much
antiquity, Malcolm having been the 5sth
reigning sovereign after Fergus L,
founder of the kingdom.

Unexpected Find of q Match in a Nevada

Senator Jones, of Nevada, according
to the Rochester Times, told the fol-
lowing story of the finding Of a match
on a gold-hunting trip in early days
to Washington reporter:
"We set out one day to go up great
canyon" says the senator, "and we
found it most fatiguing, for there was
no roSd. Six miles of travel in the
canyon was equal to 25 on the level.
One of my deputies was with me. At
noon we had gone about half our jour
ney, and we stopped to rest. was very
fond of smoking and pulled out my
pipe, intending to take a smoke. I
loaded up and then reached for a match.
There was not one in my pocket. My
deputy was not smoker, and he did
not carry matches. was almost dy-
ing for smoke. AS l was looking
around almost despairingly saw a
match lying on the ground right beside
a little stream that ran through the
canyon. 1 was almost frightened at

myself: of course, it won't light. 1t
has been lying in the wet sand long
time, and 1 can't expect it to light
But it did light, and had my smoke.
1 never knew a piece of luck to beat
that. 1t is not the most important in
my life in which good fortune has
stood by me. but it is one of the
strangest."

That hideous and deathly

N That hideouS and deathly
e. demon of sickness-constipa-
ton, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
ton is one of the commonest things in the
world. 1t is really one of the most seri-
Gus things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an Obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow of
water, and gradually a mass of poison
Gus, putrefying matter will accumulate
That is exactly what happens in thu
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and
IS forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the BODY and causes all sorts of symp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, fiatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, bjliousness and erup-
tons of the skin. These things are un-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is gentle
laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is
nothing else in the world like them.
There IS nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing just as good" although
lieing and inscriptions druggists may
sometimes tell you so for their own profit.
