Capt. Stevo'' Turned Pale at the APP
partition In tho Fog.


Many years ago, before Mr.. G-um
nlond had become the owner of a fee
and controlled it from an Office in thi:
city. he was navigator of the water:
OF the great lakes and was known al
| the way from Buffalo to Duluth as
| capt. Steve. says the Detroit Journal
Steamboats, burned wood in those
days and up near Sarnia, on the Cana
| dian side, there was wood station
known al; Corona and the proprietor
OF the dock was a man named Baxter
man as small as Grummond was
large. The two were warm personal
friends and for years the captain had
made it a point to be short of wood
whenever he neared Bakers dock
One day the captain was upward
! bound. had hold full of fuel and went
| steamlnS by without stopping. On his
previous downward trip he had found
Baxter quite i'll and was the look
out fer him. He Rugged the Canadian
shore. but when he came abreast the
dock could not descry the figure of his
friend among the piles of wood. 9th
ers were there and the captain made
trumpet of his hands and hailed:
"Where's Baxter?"
The reply came but indistinctly to
his ears, but he heard the unwelcome
words:
Dead. Buried yesterday
The captain was shocked bv the in
telngence and was remarkably quiet |
for sailor on that trip When he
necred Corona on his return he whis
tied for landing and remarked that
while the crew was getting a hold of
wood aboard he would go up to the
house, learn the circumstances of Bax-
ters death and speak few consoiins
words to the widow
1t was dark when the steamer
reached the dock, and it was also fog
Sy. Even the outlines of pile of wood
could not be discerned six feet AWAY.
and when the captain stepped ashore
10 make a selection he called for a Ian
tern
Every body knows the peculiar shapes
OBJECTS take on when swathed in fog,
vera and grotesque, even though in
alstlnct. Inc captain walked along a
Pile TO its far end and then raised the
lantern above his head to see thet
height of the pile and estimate the :
aumber of cords it contained AS he}
lid so there appeared beneath his up '
'aised arm the dim outlines of a male q
lsure, the features CHASTITY pale in the v
gray of the fog. but beyond question i
he features of the dead Baxter. c
Capt. Grummond used to say that he p
vas never SO frightened in his life. He
|ropped the lantern, staggered back
ward, caught a heel against an OBJ
and fell. Somebody picked y
lp both him and the light. 1t was
saxter
The mystery lay in the fact that the
IAN upon the dock haci announced 81
he death and burial of Mrs. Baxter as
sufficient reply to the hail of Can't. c1
'rummond as he was upward bound. c

Use Of Descriptive Trade Name.

A question of much interest was de-
cided by the English House of Lords re
Gently in the case Of Reddaway ct al.
VS.. Bantam. 1t appeared that the ap-
pellants had been making betting of
camel hair for some time, and had
stamped the words camel hair betting
upon their goods, together with a camel
as trademark. The respondent, a for
mer employee of the appellants, made
similar betting, and sold it with the
words ''camel hair betting" stamped
upon it. In the trial court the jury
found that the phrase meant among the
people that bought the goods betting
made by the appellants, and no one else,
and that the respondent had tried to
pass off his goods as those made by the
appellants A Judgment in favor Of the
respondents was reversed by the court
of appeal on the ground that the belt
ing made by the respondent might be
fairly described as camel hair betting,
and that he was entitled to use these
words. The House of Lords, however,
reversed the decision of the court of
appeal, on the ground that while, as a
rule no man can claim a monopoly. in
a merely descriptive title of his goods,
yet if the facts show that by the use
of this title a trade rival is selling goods
as if they were the goods of another,
case is made out for the interference of

Paralysis Follows BIOOdIeSSneSs and
Nervous Prostitution.
A PATIENT WOMAN AFFLICTED
FOR YEARS.
She Tells How at Last She Was Per-
manently Cured.
From the Press, Neao York City.


From the Press, Nea1 York City.
For more than fifteen years, Mrs. A.
Mather, who lives at No. 43 East One
Hundred and Twelfth street, New York,
was a sufferer from anaemia, which, in
spite of the treatment of physicians, grad
ually developed into nervous prostration
until finally marked symptoms Of paraly-
sis set in. Mrs. Mather gladly gave the
reporter her experience.
"For many years. Mrs. Mather said,
Il was constant sufferer from nervous
ness. 1t was about fifteen years ago that
my condition began to grow worse. Soon
/ became SO affected that | was prostrat-
ed and, until about two years ago, was a
part of the time unable to leave my bed.
[ employed several physicians from time
to time, my bills at the drug store for
prescriptions sometimes amounting to as
much as $50 month, but all the doctors
did for me did not seem to help me at all.
My blood became greatly impoverished
and after years of suffering l was threat
ened with paralysis.
when / walked / could scarcely drag
my feet along, and at times my knees
would give way SO that l would almost
fall down. Feeling that doctors could
not help me, had little hope of recovery,
until one day read in a newspaper how
person, afflicted almost the same as |
was, had been cured by DR.. Williams

box and began taking the pills. The
effect of this first box pleased me so much
that / bought another. Before / had
taken all the pills in the first box l began
to experience relief and, after the third
box had been used, [ was practically cur
ed. It'was really surprising what speedy
and pronounced effect the medicine had
upon me.
II always keep DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in the house now, and when l feel
any symptoms of nervousness find that
they give me certain relief"
When Mrs. Mather talked with the re-
porter she was dressed for the street, in
tending to go out for walk. She looked
the picture of health, far different than
she did before taking the Pink Pills.
Mrs. Mathers daughter, Miss Anna,
corroborated her mothers account, and
told how she herself had been cured of
chronic indigestion by these pills; and.
too. how her cousin had been cured OF
anaemia in same way.
DR.. Williams PinklPills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, Irregular
ties and all forms of weakness. III
men they effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overWork or
excuses of whatever nature. Pink Pills
are sold in boxes at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $3.50, and may be had Of all
druggists, or direct by mail from DIR.

TeIenhones in Sweden.

Sweden" says a native of that coun-
try who has just been visiting it, sis
building railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone lines everywhere. Every farmer
who has 100 acres or more of land has
a long-distance telephone. 1t is the most
magnificent telephone system | ever saw,
and is very cheap. News of great import
is flashed over these wires from the
urban to the rural districts, and the aver
age citizen is better posted OH the current
events of the day than is probably any
other country in the world. I was in
Sweden all winter. and only two inches
of snow fell during the whole time"

Morning in Georgia.

The lark was up to meet the sun,
and carol for his lay; the farmers son
took down his gun and at him blazed
away. The busy bee arose at 5 and
buzzed the meadows DER; the farmers
wife went for his hive and robbed him
Of his store. The ant rose early, his
labors to begin; the greedy swallows flew
that way and took his lordship in. Oh,

LIKELY TO BE MIXED.
A Difference in Caliber Between the
Navy and Army Rifles.

Difference in Ca1ib0r Between the
Navy and Army Rifles.
One of the curious features incidentally
developed at the trials of the rifles for
the arming of the National guard of New
York is the difference between the cali
bers Of the army and navy rifles. The
former is the much-vaunted Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifle. The caliber Of the navy
weapon is .26 $40, and the army rifle is
80 $40.
1t was generally conceded by the ex-
perts and members of the board that a
more asinine policy could not have been
adopted than that of having arms of diff
ferent calibers for the army and navy
In the rush and hurry of sending away
ammunition, il was said, no amount of
care could prevent the ammunition from
getting mixed. This was one of the first
disasters that occurred to the French
troops in the Franco-German war. 1t
has occurred over and over again in
every country, and it seems strange that
at this late stage of the art of war such
a policy should be adopted.
Col Shaw. chairman of the state eX-
aiming board, said to New York Tri-
bune reporter speaking on this point
''Let every state select it's own arms if
it will, but by all means iet the ammuni-
ton to be used be the same. Suppose
that lot of Krag-Jorgensen ammuni-
ton was served out to men armed with
the Lee navy rifle, why they could not
use IT, Reverse the case and send Lee
cartridges to men armed with the krag-
Jorgensen rifle; nothing but inextricable
confusion and disaster could be the re-
suit

Wish Not Granted.

The recent death of Ernest Duez, the
French painter who died of a congestive
stroke while riding his bicycle in the
forest Of St German, recalls a CONVEX
sation he had, some years ago, with Guy
de Maupassant on the subject of death.
Duez declared that SO long as a man
rounded by ones family Maupassant
exclaimed: ''The worst thing about
death is the Illness It is far better to
drop down without feeling it." Neither
had his wish.

Heavy Switch Engine.

The Chicago & North Western railway
recently received ten heavy switch en-
gines designed by the motive power de-
partment of that company and built by
the Schenectady Locomotive works, says
the Railway Age. Five of these engines

ness on the Chicago & Northwestern
from North Chicago to South Chicago
necessitates large engines to properly
handle the traffic, and in the past the
management has been compelled to use
service. These switch engines were de-
signed to take care of this traffic and are
a type of the heaviest switch engines

satisfactory service in cleaning the
