WHY THEY LAUGHED.
How Mrs. Blsybee Astonished Her
Large Circle of Friends.

1t was past noon on Christmas day,
and Mr.. Busybee har just consulted his
watch tor the fifteenth time in an hour,
wondering how he was to get through
the day without one peep at the office.
His thoughts were suddenly inter
rppted by the appearance OF his wife,
who dashed into the room, seated her
self violently upon a chair and burst
into tears.
u d-uo believe the people of th-this
town are the most ill-bred specimens
OF hu-humanity an the face Of the
globe!' She sobbed.
But, my love, what has caused you
to change your mind SO suddenly? Only
yesterday"
Look here, Ignatius Busybee, | want
to know if there is anything humorous
in the fact that you gave me sealskin
saque for my Christmas present."
Nothing humorous at all, my dear.
On the contrary :"
Then is there anything peculiar,
the thermometer being near zero, in
my wearing the saque TO church to-
day."
Why, dear, the peculiar fact would
buothgoytsev anitlex-lht 9Th eenen,
have been your not wearing it to
church to-day"
'Very we'll, then, will you explain
the behavior of people to-day! The con-
ductor lauged in my face as he took
my fare, woman whom / never saw
before wanted to talk to me in the car
and, as l walked up the church aisle,
everybody was in broad GRIM
Perhaps they were pleased to see
you in sealskin.p
YES it is so likely that 81. ah Snaggs
would be pleased at that, and yet
she was one Of the worst ones! And
here IL thought I'd be perfectly hap
by if had a sealskin"
81 too, had hoped to be happier, then
my love!'
"Al through service it was the samel
My head ached from the cold, anyhow.
Why what is the matter? You are as
bad as the rest. What is wrong with
my sacque?"
Poor Mr.. Busybee had turned, look
ing full at her.
at is not the fault of the sacque;
that's all right. Only, in your haste
to see yourself in it, you forgot to put
their own stories and har not sue
on any bonnet"

HIS FIERY LOVE LETTERS.
Dragged Into Court and Read TO De-
risive Listeners.

1t is likely that nothing is better cal
culated to make man feel foolish than
his own love letters when they are
read to him in court where ribald men
and cachinnating women may hear,
and where, through the newspapers,
of the world. w. R. Thompson of
Nyack. N. ", had an experience of
that kind the other day. He had
brought suit against another man
for alternating Mrs. Thompson's affec-
tions. and then it was brought out
in the evidence that Mr. Thompson
had been writing love letters to an
other married woman One of these
illusions ran like this:
love you; yes, love you!
And as the days pass by, Susie dear.
will be true--it is no task to try.
For loving you so truly, mv heart is
only thine
Do you love me? OF course you do;
am yours and you are mine.
AT the bottom Of this effusion were
five hearts made with a conductors
punch. Then there was sheet with
a square of kisses Around it was in
scribed tender message saying among
other things "In this square l have
kissed many times, moistening the spot
with my lips and sending them to you.
Let me kiss a spot which your sweet
red lips have moistened. Would that
could look into those blue eyes of
yours and kiss those lips so holy"

been raised from the lower level OF
selfshness to the high level Of generos-
ity, Of good will to all and OF helpful
ness. Year by year the circle OF Chris
tian influence has widened, and today
1t is felt in some degree in every part
OF the world, save in some few remote
regions like the densely darkened IN
terror OF China, or some as yet unyis-
tied corners in Africa
Even among many of those people
who have not as yet accepted the re-
ligion founded on the first Christmas
day Jesus is held in high esteem He
is canonized as a saint by the Moham-
medans. He is known to the Buddhists
as q great and good man, and when
Japan made war against China, al
though the masses OF the Japanese are
as yet non-Christians, their soldiers
were cautioned not to conduct them
selves with cruelty of pagen times bur
TO remember that the eyes OF Christen-
dom we're upon them and must not be
wanton slaughterings OF the helpless
and the innocent Ii is true that these
warnings were forgotten at Port Arthur
but the blood that was ruthlessly shed
there was abjectly apolcgized by the
mikado. and In the main the war was
conducted without the old time barbar-
isms.
1t is also true that there was war;
hat there are still occasional wars be-
tween Christian nations, and that all
wars are violations of the teachings OF
Christ. but the fact remains that the
world is now practically at peace.

CATARRH IN THE HEAD,
A Constitutional Disease Requiring Con-
stitutional Remedy

stitutional Remedy
Catarrh in the head consists of inham-
alton of the mucous membrane in the
nasal passages, and sometimes it ex-
tends to the air cavities which cover
considerable portion of the face Ca
tarrh in the head frequently destroys
the senses of taste aud smell, and its
tendency is always facilitating. The
best authorities say catarrh is just as
surely a censtitu ional disease as is
scrofula 1t is caused and promoted
by impure blood. The teaching of ex.
perience proves that the true way
to cure catarrh is to purify the
blood The One True Blood Purifier
is hoods Sarsaparilla. Read the
testimonials of those who have
been completely and permanently
cured of catarrh by purifying their
blood with Hoods Sarsaparilla. rhous-
ands of such statements have been
written by honest, straightforward
men and women; they have been pub.
lished year after year; and their genu-
mess is beyond any possible question.
IL You are suffering from catarrh, do
not daily with snuffs, inhalants and
useless local applications. Take the
direct road to health. Cleanse the
stream at the fountain head. Purify
your blood with the One True Blood
Purifier, Hoods Sarsaparilla. In
short time you wilib convinced of the
wisdom of this course. Hoods Sarsa.
parilla will give you an appetite, tone
and strengthen your stomach, make
rich, red blood, and remove all the dis.
agreeable symptoms of catarrh by per.
manently Graduating the causes which
produce them
