THAT'S NO LIE.

The constant drop OF water
Wears away the hardest stone,
The constant gnaw of Towser
Masticates the toughest bone,
The constant cooling lover
Carries off the blushing maid,
And the constant advertiser
Is the one that gets the trade.

Rain was needed in u number Of
counties. Lice have about all left cot

4 SOLDIERS MEMORY.
Visiting the Battle Field Where He
Was Manned for Life.

DR.. w. M. Grier, Of Due West, Drcsi-
dent OF the Erskine College, was at tho
reunion in Richmond, but paid visit
to the ancient town Of williamsburg,
where he losta leg in the battle fought
there on the 9TH Of May, 1862. He
writes as follows in the last issue OF
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Not Richmond but williamsburg was
the object Of our visit. as is we'll
known, this is the old capital OF Vir-
ginia and abounds in historic associa-
ticns. lt is not a progressive town.
There is nothing of factories or water
cars. We were glad Of it. More than
thirty-four years had passed since we
saw it, and yct, without the slightest
difficulty, we recognized the places
with which we were once familiar.
Tho old church in which We lay for
there weeks, the private house where
we were SO carefully nurscd for another
three weeks, these were unchanged.
They looked just as they did thirty
four years ago. And so the battle
ground. The line of battle where the
Confcdcrat,s were engaged, Fort
Magruder, the rcdouots to its right
and lett, these were all clear and dis
tinct. AS VIC looked over the ground
on that quiet evening last week, we
dreamed. Thirty-four years droppcd
out Of the past; we were a. soldier
youth again, over our heads the shells
were bursting, about our cars the bull
lets wore whizZing and in q few min
utcs we lay wounded and helpless.
The hours OF anxious suspense which
followed, before the ambulance came
up, tho deepening OF twilight into
night as we lay in the field hospital
the brief examinations Of the surgeon
and then-uttor darkness, complete
Inconsistencies, and hasty awaken
ing to the work Of the knife. 1t was
all Ovor, and we were MANNED for life.
Tho mOmentrry bitterness soon passed,
and from that hour the deprivation
has occasioned no regrets. Thus we
dreamed ; and dreamed too Of the won
dcrful kindness OF the good people Of
town as they ministered every day to
our comfort. A quiet night in tho ho-
tel, Colonial Inn," only decpened the
Impressions Of the afternoon.
We were glad to be alone. An old
resident showed us all over tho battle
field, which was about mile out of
the town. Having himself participated
ia tho fight he vas fully posted as to
movements OF both armies. Our init
mate acQuaintances Of the place wore
all dead or removed. Not one Of them
remained. Having accomplished tho
object Of our visit we took a final leav.
of the historic old town, never expect
ing to see it again. May its peaceful
shade mover again DO disturbed by tho
rude shock OF war.

HOW SHE BEAT HER ISIVS
N Rnpid Voyage Over the Sen
gained Her Husband.

In New York they arc talking over
the quick and successful generalship
of Mrs. Franz Molineaux, who beat
her rival over the sea by four hours
and won back her husbands love. The
story is quite interesting:
Molineaux had been wealthy in Ber-
lin. He had married tho daughter OF
rich grain merchant. When he
failed in business he quarreled with
his wife, for she made some remark
ABOUT his poverty which angered him.
TIC lett her, saying that he would go
TO America and begin life over again
| They were both proud, and she per-
niltted him to go alone, although in
her heart she loved him. Women as
we'll as men arc stubborn sometimes.
The man came over here, and by
hard work established himself and was
in receipt OF u good salary. He
thought sometimes Of the woman over
in Berlin. She was living with her
wealthy father, who was very fond of
her. He broOdcd over what she had
said before their parting, and in the
months that he was here had stcclcd
his heart against her. He vowed that
he would never speak to her again
the sea Tor another woman to share
the home he had made here ut No.
1850 Lexington avenue.
1T is II familiar saying, and possibly
not worthy Of all acccptatiOn, that Il
woman cares moro for a nun when she
secs her power over him on the wanc.
Mrs. MOlincauX heard Of the other wo-
man and embarked in all haste on the
steamer Lain, bound for New York.
The other one, Bertha Nicbling. was a
stceragc passenger on the Ncnetia
from IIambcrg. The Vcnetia sailed
first, yet the fast steamer Lain beat her
into port by four hours, with Mrs. Moli-
neauX in the first cabin. She is a tall,
in the most approved fashion, and her
manners were those of well born
German woman.
She had but little difficulty in inter-
estiug the authorities in her case
Detective Peter Groden found the hus-
band and informed him that woman
was at ELLIS island waiting to see him.
MolineauX was taken there yesterday,
and Dr. Senner, the commissioner OF
immigration, asked him some very
searching questions. Then he dis
missed him to another room and talk
ed to Mrs. Molineaux. Neither hus-
band nor wife knew Of the presence
OF the other on the island.
lncy were OOtn brought into the
same room. The woman at the sight
of her husband throw her arms about
his neck and then tainted. She re.
covered opportunely and told him how
cruelty she had misunderstood him, and
that she would willingly share poverty
and Il crust of bread with him, No
man could resist talk like that. Moli-
ncauX kissed her on the forehead and
vowed he would be true to her to the
end OF time. SO they went to No. 1860
Lexington avenue together, where
they will dwell.
The other woman ? The story is
practically finished as far as sho is
concerned. Tho immigration authori-
ties came to the conclusion, that as
she had no friends here now, and was
likely to become public charge, the
best thing they could do would be to
send her back to Germany. She will
go back in the steerage today.

Second foreclosure and sale of the gov

reach the same result of government acqui-

fetch. would yield little or nothing for, the
government on its debt.
Third, to make an arrangement with the
companies, which would secure to the govern
ment the payment of fixed amounts at pre-
scribed dates, as large as the reasonably anti
cipated earnings would bear.
The committee. the report continues adopt
ed the third plan and extended the govern

WHOLESOME ADVICE
For People Whose stomnchs Are
Weak and Digestion Poor.

DR.. Harlandson, whose opinion in diseases
OF the stomach is worthy of attention, says
when man or woman comes to me COM
planning Of indigestion, loss Of appetite, sour
stomach, belching, sour, tery-risings,
headaches, sleeplessness, lack Of ambition
and generally rundown, nervous condi-
tion, advise them to take after each meal
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing the tablet to dissolve in the mouth.
and thus mingle with the food eaten The
result Is that the food is speedily digested
before 1t has time to sour and ferment These
tablets will digest food anyway, whether the
stomach wants to or not because they con-
tain harmless digestive principles, vegetable
essences, pepsin and Golden Seal which sup
ply Just what the weak stomach lacks
have advised the tablets with great sue
cess, both in curing indigestion and to build
up the tissues, increase flesh In thin, nervous
patients, whose only real trouble was dys-
pepsia, and az soon as the stomach was put
to rights they did not know what sickness
was.
A ffty-cent package of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets can be bought at any drug store, and
as they are not secret patent medicine, they
can be used as often as desired, with full as
surance that they contain nothing harmful
in the slightest degree; on the contrary, any
one whose stomach is at all deranged will
find great benefit from the use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. They will cure any form
of stomach weakness or disease, except can
Ger of stomach. Full sized package at drug
gists, so cents and $1.0O, or by mail from

Some of Them Show Up ImmacuIate-
Iy Dressed and Escort Women.
New York Herald
Strange as it may SEEM said one of Chief
O'Brien's new detectives as he lounged
against a pillar in front of the Metropolitan
opera house, New York thieves of the higher
class have a weakness for grand opera both
for business and pleasure You doubtless re-
member when Inspector Mclaughlin walked
down the aisle two years ago and tapped a
woman on the shoulder. She was a notorious
thief and she followed him without a word.
Since then several thieves have been arrest
ed in the lobby and around the entrance and
several have even got past US and have sat
out the performance. Look at this 1t is a
sample Of the work done by the opera house
thieves"
The detective pulled from his pocket a
crumpled advertisement It was as follows.
'.If blue kersey overcoat taken from dress
circle of Metropolitan opera house Monday
night is returned s25 will be paid and no
questions asked
81 was one of the men detailed here on the
opening night" continued the detective.
Personally I hustled several thieves away:
but as there was no charge against them be-
yond their general bad character they could
not be arrested.
AFTER the opera was over / stood Just at
the door to watch the crowd coming out.
What was my surprise to see one of the best
known thieves in New York come out with
beautifully dressed woman on his arm.
Both were in irreproachable evening dress.
She wore long pink and ermine opera cloak
and big diamonds, and his crush hat was
simply immense. He looked at me coolly.
handed the woman into a carriage and
whiried away.
81 saw him next day in Sixth avenue and
called to him. What do you want?' he in
quired. There is nothing against me.
Hasn't a man a right to enjoy himself?'
warned him against enjoying himself around
the Metropolitan opera house and let him go.
There are very many diamonds around the
Metropolitan, and they are q great tempta-
tion to the average thief"
