spoken OF the possibility OF the niue
dary-eyed Mamie Lord being one day
the wife Of Uncle Ben that person would
have been assuredly regarded as tue
ripest subject for an insane asylum the
world over.
HER SCHOOL DAYS.
The two sisters attended a private
school In Springfield kept by a Miss Cor
coran. who for years after never tired
OF talking of Mamie Lord as the most
mlschievous scholar she had ever had
but the mischief vas all of healthy
kind, the result of a vigorous vitality
and a childish desire TO be always doing
something.
1t was in 1875 that Mrs. Lord and the
two girls moved from Springfield to
Princeton, N. j., and 1t was there That
Mamie Lord met the man who afterward
became her husband. The first five years
in Princeton the two sisters attended
private school kept by Mrs. Moiiltt'
wife OF one Of the professors OF the theo-
logical school. To put the finishing touches
TO her education she was sent for q
short time to the female college at FL
mira. y. Y, and on her return nome
she met walter Erskine Dimmick, son OF
Samuel T. Dimmiek. a wealthy lawyer,
and one OF the political powers of Penn

and young Dimmick had not yet gradu-

he was completing his education. He gra-
duated e. 1880 and became 2 member OF
a New York law firm. After another
effort 10 reconcile their parents to the
match had failed. the two took matters
into their own hands and eloped. Their
marriage took place In October. 1881, and
I'm the following January the young hus-
hand was stricken with typhoid-fever,
and died, after brief illness. Mrs. Dim

THE BRIDE.

THE central figure at all weddings Is the
hr,de for weddings are always regarded
az the peculiar property OF women, and
they look At the bride ten times to once
AT the groom. Mrs. Dlmmick will make a
very fair bride to look upon, notwith-
standing that she is nearing the age OF
70. Her figure is more glrlIsh than ma

she IL what most people call petite. In
her glrlhood days she was viyacious. but
now her spfightliness has been mellowed
into o quiet dignity which well btiits the
wife OF a man like General Harrison.
Mrs. Dimmicis's life has been q sad one.
Her father, Russell y. Lord. and her
mother separated when she was small
child. Her early life was embittered by
domestic dissenions, which were only
ended when her mother took the two 1T
tie girls--L!zzie and Iary-back 10 IN
dianapolis, where the grandfather or the
children, DR. Scott, a Presbyterian preach
er, lived. Shortly after this SAD nome
coming Dr. Scott was called TO spring

Too
Much Knife !

The use of the surgeons knife is be-
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al
most daily announces the death oil some
unfortunate whose system could not
withstand the shock of all operation,
and whose life was cruelty sacrihced 10
the keen blade of the surgeon.
OF course, in some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means Of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty i'll resort
inc TO the knife, and if such state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be a general uprising against such meas
ures. II is but reasonable to believe
that the majority OF operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
eyer know of their error, and though a
nrecious life is given up, the public IS
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiser
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time Il is undertaken. The disease is
In the blood and Tie cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation, of a
terrible condition of the entire circula-

does not in any way effect the disease,

correct treatment is to get at the seat of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. S.S:S.

as Senator Butler said today that free

from taking control Of the senate unless
some Of those who bolted the republican
platform at 81; Louis should return.
