Bad Habits Make a Man Act Like He Was
Under Spell.

"a man will try to convince himself
by argument so poorly founded that If
they were presented by another they
would be treated with contempt, AS
an instance: He may be ailing from
the heavy poison of tobacco, or the
lighter poison of coffee, the weakened
condition will show somewhere in the
body: eyes, head, stomach, heart, liver
bowels or somewhere. His doctor tells
him to stop the habit, but each day
the thought comes, 20, coffee and to-
bacco don't hurt me, its my stomach
that is at fault; I'll have that cured
and everything will be all right; so
he keeps on with his habits, and goes
to drugging a poor old stomach that
would do it's work beautifully If the
master would furnish enough vitality
to run 1t, but he poisons his nervous
system and robs the members of
strength to carry on their work When
a man wakes up to what he is doing,
exchanging his health and chance to
succeed in this world, for paltry habit
or two, he quits them and follows
natures wise laws.
IT is easy to give up coffee if one
can have Postum, the food drink which
is a fac-simile in looks of fine Mocha
coffee. In taste it retains a like pun
gency with coffee, but has a distinct
flavor of it's own. 1t Is made entirely
of pure grains, and has the ability to
make red blood quickly.
Tobacco, morphine, whisley, strych-
nine and coffee each contain much the
same poisonous alkaloids, but vary in
strength. Postum is delicious break
fast drink; it is fattening and nourish-
ing, for it is made Of the grains in
tended by the Creator for mans nat
ural use and scientifically prepared by
the Postum Cereal Co., Linn, of Battle
Creek, Mich.

To this the ducks were tied one by
one with leather moose. AS one bird
was fastened and dropped into the icy
water | pulled in on the other part of
the rope, and gently forced Mistress
Duck three or four feet out on the
black water. Thus in few moments
we had what to any Wild duck, to say
nothing of any tame man, would APP
pear to be a flock of birds swimming
about at random and raising a horrible
racket in all this silence of the night
The thing was repeated with more
ducks, on another and similar endless
runner which ran to another spot on
the pond
This done, Henry directed me to pull
first one and then the other flock out to
the pulleys, while he moved up and
down the beach and stationed eight or
ten solitary ducks at intervals, after
the manner in which any other mortal
would have tied dogs or anchored
boats. Each of these had a yard or

THE SPORTING DUCHESS"
Grand Opera House.
DARKEST AMERICA. "


Darkest A-erica," which comes to
the Grand opera house for three nights
and Saturday matinee, commencing to-
night, presents the home life of the
negro as it was in slavery days and is
in freedom. An old fashioned husking
bee, with all the fun pertaining there
to-, and possum hunt; the citation of
the happy negroes who catch the same;
an old Virginia reel, danced as it only
can be danced by native negroes; a pa
thetic parting of master and servant;
slaves made free by the proclamation
of freedom, leaving the old plantation
and a happy home to go out into a, new
world; a new world to the poor, untu-
tored slaves; the battle of life to begin
anew under conditions unknown and
untried Such is brief epitome of
"Darket America"
"THE DEAR IRISH HOME"
There is only one Dan Mccarthy, .
and he is billed to appear at the
Grand opera house for three nights
commencing next Monday, in his new
play 1.-THE Dear Irish Home" which
he has well said is one of the funniest
of Irish plays, it evoking one continu-
Gus round of laughter and applause
from the rise to the fall of the curtain
The piece abounds with many first
class specialties, introduced by differ
emit members of the company, including
Little Mabel Kits, champion clog, rec
and jig dancer, who is ready at al
times to meet all competition for q
prize offered by the management.

time she shared with Mrs. Mckee the
duties of the household Mrs. Harrison
was devoted to her, and the parting be-
tween aunt and niece was said to have
been pathetic in the extreme.
after Mrs Harrison's death Mrs. Dim
mick went with the family to Indianapolis
and remained there until Mrs. Mckee
came east 60 join her husband in New
York That was little more than year
ago Since that time Mrs. Dimmick has
lived with her sister, Mrs. Parker, in New
York.
With Russell Harrison and the MoKees
living in New York city the x-president
has had ample excuse for his rather fire.
quent visits to Gotham, and nothing could
be more natural than that he should dis
play an interest in Mary, as he always
calls Mrs. Dimmick.
By means of the present perspective 1t is
easy to see that Cupid had laid his plans
long ago, but the ex-president never 1elt
the keen edge of his dart with a realizing
sense of what had struck him until Mary
left indianapolis and came to New York.
Soon after her departure he began to
talk to his old cronies in Indianapolis about
being lonely and asking them to 'tdrop
around some time, - which was unusual in
him, for while he has always been cordial
in his friendships he had shown since the
death of his wife a very marked aversion
to society of any kind.
The old fellows did ''drop around, F" but
Mr.. Harrison was disappointed. They
were good friends and all very well in their
way, but.
Well, the next thing anybody knew Mr..
Harrison WAS in New York enjoying the
society of Mary, and it was not very long
afterward that these two agreed that life
without each other would be hollow and
uncomfortable.
How the Secret Got Out.
It was their intention to keep their en-
gagement a dead secret until such time as
they should select for the performance of
an unostentatious wedding ceremony,
which they decided should be some time in
the spring of 1895. Indeed word of it
would have escaped, SO it is said, except
for the indiscretion of a Washington jew
eler who fashioned a ring for Mrs. Dim
mick at the order of General Harrison. AS
it was an engagement ring, beautiful
diamond, the jeweler drew natural infer
ences, and this high social secret was too
large for the jeweler. He had either to let
it out or burst with the shear Importance
of 1T; so, being prudent man, he let it
out. Then q newspaper correspondent
took it in his profane hands and put it on
the livest wire he could 6ndi and, fash |!
all the world knew.
Then Mr.. Harrison, in his brusque, de-
cisive way, put an end to all clanors for
verifcation of the rumor in 20 word bull
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-03-14


letin tersely conceding that the engage
ment was fact and shutting off further
inquiry by forestalling it.
A few words more as to Mrs. Dimmick
of today. She is not beautiful woman,
but she is more; she is charming, giving
that word its fullest meaning. In figure
she is petite and almost girlish. Her age
is less than 40, and yet more than her face
and manner indicate. Her features are
good, but not regular. However, that fact
does not prevent her from being exceed
ingly attractive. She does not appeal to
your senses, but to your heart. She has q
taking way that is not artificial, and
your admiration for her springs from the
same source that General Harrison's did
you won by the gentle wo1nanly good
ness of her, the goodness that shines in her
face and makes it lovely.
Her modesty in dress amounts almost to
plainness. She wears no jewels save pin
at the throat and a ring-the ring-on the
proper finger. She is a model woman.
AS for Mr.. Harrison, every American
and most forei gDers know of his greatness
in statecraft, upon the battlefield and in
the highest levels of his profession, and all
have noted his always chivalrous attitude
toward the weaker and better sex, but few
are aware of the depths of his nature, the
steady glow of sympathy and tenderness
that is hidden from the world at large by
inc seeming CO1uneSS OF O0InoanOr, winch
is superficial shade of dignity that is his
by nature Only his intimates and his
family know this the real nature of the
man. Mrs. Dimmick knows it and feels
its sustaining force, and her smile is all
the sweeter for the knowledge.
In a material way the couple are we'll
provided for. Besides his elegant home in
Indianapolis, Mr.. Harrison has other val
liable property and an extensive law prac-
tice which has increased rather than di-
unfinished since his return to it. And now
it is said that he has so many orders for
magazine articles he intends to devote his
time hereafter to literature, an enterprise
which, by reason of his scholarly fitness
for it, could not prove other than lucra
tive. Hence it appears that all the cir
cumstances that surround this happy event
are suspicious and foreshadow for the dis
tinguished pair the happiness which in
compensation for past griefs they richly
deserve. And when, on April 6, in the
city of New York, they come forth from
ST. Thomas church as man and wife,
not one hand of all the thousands that
wave acclaim would stay the casting of the
proverbial ''old shoe'' or for an instant
doubt the potency of the happy portent.

an adventure of two mon in the Grand
square of Mexico. They stood talking be-
fore they should part. One was American,
the other English. Suddenly the fcrmer
said to the latter, pointing to the opposite
side of the square under the colonnade:
tLook at it-lookl They're pinching
