served upon 1t through the agency of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the most

Is more positive and conclusive than
that which proves it ehicacious for
malarial. nervous, bilious, dyspeptic
and kidney disorders. 1t promotes an
petite and sleep. and is particularly
useful to invalids recovering from ex-

a lack Of vital stamina, find It highly
beneficial. Give it a persistent trial.
No medicine used spasmodically, and
at Irregular times. can be expected to

"Who bids?'
The auctioneer held up a child's
rocking horse. battered and stained. 1t
had belonged to some little member Of
the mans family whuse household
property vas being sold under the ham
mer.
He was utterly ruined. He had given
mp everything in the world to his cred
itOrs-house. furniture. horses, stock Of
goods and lands. He stood among the
crowd watching the sale that was scat
tering his household goods and his heir
looms among a hundred strange hands.
On his arm leaned a woman. heavily
yelled.
who bids?"
The a%uctioneer held the rocking horse
high, that it might be seen. Childish
hands had torn away the scanty name ;
the bride was twisted and worn by
tender little fingers. The crowd wa
still.
The woman under the heavy veil
sobbed and stretched ont her hands.
mo, no, mol! she cried.
The mans face was white with emo
tion. The little form that once 10 mer.
ri1y rode the old rocking horse had
drifted away into the world years ago.
This was the only relic left Of his happy
infancy.
The %auctioneer. with u queer mois-
ture in his eyes, handed the rocking
horse to the man without a word. He
seized it with eager hands, and he and
the veiled woman hurried away.
The crowd murmured with sympathy.
The man and the woman went into
an empty room and set the rocking
horse down. He took out his knife,
ripped open the front Of the horse and
took out u roll of bills. He counted
them and said:

An amusing story is told Of tho early
days Of the Margaret Louise home. The
home. as il well known, was built by
Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard y . woman's
hotel, under the auspices Of the Young
Women's Christian association.
The first day the building was open
Miss Altman. the directress. was told
that a gentleman had called to look at
rooms. Taking it for granted that he
wished to engage board for some woman
relative, she sent an attendant to show
him the rooms. he expressed himself rs
much pleased and engaged a cult. At
nightfall the following day Miss Alt
man was informed BY the Mortified at
tendant that "a man had come to occupy
the rooms" which be claimed to have
engaged the preceding day. In the hall
her startled eyes recognized the dignified
gentleman Of the day before. accompa-
MED by a colored valet with a dress suit
case in one hand. a portmanteau in the
other. and with ar expressman with a
big trunk bringing up the .
Miss Altman advanced and politely
requested an explanation. This caused
the gentleman to grow very red in the
face, while the valet rolled his eyes in
disapproval and the expressman waited.
The gentleman declared that he had
come to take possession Of the rooms he
had engaged and had been refused the
keys.
"Oh. but you cannot occupy the
roomsi'' she exclaimed. "This ia q wo-
mans hotel" The valet dropped the
portmanteau, the expressman smiled.
while beads Of cold perspiration be-
spangled the would be boarder's brow,
as he explained, that going by. he had
seen the place and, installing it for q
select hotel. was so much pleased with
his inspection that he had persuaded his
nephew to ON also and that prob

O'Clock. Then. with many apologies.

Miss Altman received the nephew. who
proved to be a dashing young society
man. who. when he heard Of his ancle's
innocent mistake. was greatly amused
and laughed heartily. - New York

At terminal points on the elevated

and> pick up anything that may have
been left by the passengers and turn it
over to the train dispatcher at the sta
tion, who delivers it to the superintend-

after them. about in the order named,
come hats, shoes, books and the various
things that are done up in packages.
There are found also watches. diamonds,

A SOUTHERN OPINION.
The Road Problem Is Asserting Itself /
the Cotton States.

The Road Problem Is Asserting Itself in
the Cotton States.
The subject of improved public high
ways is attracting a large share Of pub
lie attention. In the opinion of the
Southern Farm Gazette, of Starkville,
Miss, good roads is one great need Of
the day in the cotton states. In order
TO have better roads, it is necessary to
reorganize our present general plans OF
road working, and adopt more modern
and more effective methods. 1t seems
that it would be a wise plan to utiliza
county convicts in connection with this
line of work. These convicts are usual.
~ q burden on the county. They should
be worked. They should be worked
for profit. What better profit can the
tax payers desSe than the profit arts
ing from better public roads? Better
roads are indirectly a profit to every
farmer that travels over them. The
better the road, the less strain upon the
team and the wagon and the harness
and the patience of the driver. The
better the road, the greater the saving
of time in going from one mile to an.
other, and the greater ease with which
the burden of freight is transported.
