by the ceremony with which she ush-
cred him into the parlor and asked
the name, for he began to be touch
ed by a reflection of his wife's mis-
cry.
Mrs. Morrill, was so overcome by FL
lens tidings that her husband was
in the parlor waiting for her that
she could not control herself suf-
ficiently to go down. With deft fin
gers Ellen touched up the bright
hair, and slipped fresh handker-
chief in her belt, then drawing Mrs.
Morrill's hand through her arm, took
her down to the parlor. AS she soft
ly closed the door, she heard Mr.
Morrill, say with a world of tender re-
proach in his voice, "Lucy!" and her
face mantled red. as she said to her
self, "That1l fetch her. 'Twould me.
It's all right now. Ole cat don't fine
it OUT
The outcome of it was, that young
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrill, had a home of
their own in which Ellen served be-
loved mistress with all the fidelity of
her strange, warm heart. Mrs. An
gier heaved a sigh as of slave set
free when she saw the carriage door
close upon Ellen's broad back, and
descended upon Ellen's SUCCESSOR
Minna Stanwood in The Housewife.

Even the king of Sweden has trou-
bles of his own. The other day while
his train was standing at the station
in Storen his majesty discovered a
young farmer in the crowd who had
neglected to remove his hat. The
king premeditately reached down
and knocked Mr.. Farmers hat off,
but the farmer had better manners
and did not slap the kings face, as
some people might have done. The
little incident has set the tongues of
the whole country wagging, and
reading of the animated discussions
reminds one of the financial talks"
we have all heard in this country.
Mr.. King will probably keep his
hands at home hereafter.

'Driven to suicide by love-" That
is the line over the sad story that
tells how deeply John Dempsie of
Logan, Iowa, loved Mary Kellogg,
who didn't care snap for him. John
went to Miss Kellogg's home and
told her he had come to give her one
more chance to have him. She didn't
accept, but gave him the marble
heart, and straightway John went to
the barn, where he fired the fatal
shot and died for the only girl he
thought there was in the world. If
he had only tarried awhile and look
ed around little it is just possible
that it would have been different.

On the Pacific coast they are con-
sidering whether it is right to kill a
person who is incurably i'll and suf-
fering terrible agony. A clergyman
started the discussion by boldly ad-
vocating from his pulpit killing I'M
der such circumstances. A few years
ago a coroner's jury in London justi-
fed a woman who obeyed her hus-
bands command to shoot him and
thus shorten his death agonies.

some ''color Students" as they are
called, claim that within another
generation blondes will have become
very rare and that in ahundred years
light-haired person will be an I'M
known quantity. Their statistics
prove that at present there are only
from two to three true blondes in
every hundred and that this small
figure is fast decreasing.

MUNYON'S ' COLD AND COUGH CURES Promptly Effectual in Curing Grip, Colds and Coughs and a Sure Preventive
 of Pneumonia and All
 Lung Diseases.

Colds leads to coughs, coughs to pneu- monia and consumption; therefore, it is all-important to check a cold before it reaches the lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure will positively break cold inside of twenty-four hours if taken as soon as the cold manifests itself. When the cold reaches the lungs or bronchial tubes the Cough Cure should be used alter nately every half hour with the Cold Cure. The Cold Cure Is guaranteed to prevent pneumonia if used in the be- ginning of cold. Pneumonia, or in f1ammation of the lungs, can be con- troled by the use of these two cures.
 The Cough Cure positively cures bron- chitis, tickling in the throat, hoarseness, loss of voice, soreness of the chest, diffi- culty in breathing, hacking cough and all pulmonary diseases where the lungs are not too far consumed or covered with tubercles.
 If you are ailing, step into the near est drug store and get a 25c vial of one of Munyon's Remedies. No matter what your disease, or how many doctors have failed to cure, 1t will give you relief.
 Personal letters to Prof. Munyon. 15O6 Arch street, Philadelphia Pa, answered with free medical advice for any disease.

The Verdict a Surprise.

South Carolina juries, taken on the
whole, may be considered consist
ent-coDsistent in doing the uuex-
pected aud surprising the public
The State 28tb.
There is a saying to the effect that
10 man can tell where lightning will
strike nor what verdict pretty jury
will render. The verdict of the
Lexington jury in the Hartman
trial is a case in point.
An acquittal was generally
excepted and yet the jury said Har
man was guilty of murder. Accord
ing to ,he letter of the law, the jury
may lave been right, as human life
can only be taken to prevent felony.
But the verdict was a departure from
the custom in South Carolina, where
juries have uniformly acquitted men
who killed those who bad invaded
the sarctity of their homes. 1t has
been >orceded in this State, regard
less OF the law, that husband, or
brother, or father, had the right to
use pistol to protect the virture
of his women or to punish those
who destroyed it. 1t may be bar
bcrous way of doing business, but
it has served we'll in South Carolina,
where heretofore every libertine has
known. that If he destroyed the inro-
cence of a woman, even without
resort to force, death would follow
discovery of his crime and the man
who did the killing would he held
guiltless. The Lexington case was
peculiar, but The Register hopes the
verdict therein will not set a precc-
dent. The law should not punish
the men of South Carolina for pre-
tecting their women.-Register, Goth.

the account of the alleged howlIng
down of Senator Tillman at Reading,

immense audience before him that
only about fifty persons did the howl

was policy for them 10 interrupt the

The coming State Fair promises

The coming State Fair promises
20 be one of the most useful, entain-
ing and successful ones ever held in
the State. Unusual efforts are be-
ing put forth by Col. Thomas W
Holloway, the gc-ahead, prog' essive
and enterprising Secretary, aided
by an able corps OF experienced
and enthusiastic assistants, to pro-
cure large number Of exhibits IN
ali the departments and provide for
rare and varied attractions for the
entertainment and amusements OF
visitors.
Lexington has always taken an ac-
tive and prominent part iu the sue
cess of these fairs, and there is no
grounds for the supp osisio1 that she
will fail to 90 her dnty this year.
IF the other counties of the State
will do half as much as Lexington
for tae success of the fair, it is GER
tain that its management will bave DO
Just cause for complaint. Lst US
all go to work for the fair, BY select
ing the best specimens OF the pro-
ducts of the field, the barn and stock
yards, the Diary, the household de-
partment, our woods, minerals ores,
and the products Of our manufacto
ries, and then let every man, woman
and child attend it and We have done
our duty.
