of porter. twill be all right. Ihave
seen it done hundred times, and the
train is just about to depart"
"Will you oblige me by attending tc
your own business?" exclaimed the old
gentleman.
"Oh, certainly" said the young man
settling back into his place as the train
moved slowly out of the station. There
was look of baffled benevolence on his
face that was most touching.
But, you see, know what it is to be
left without luggage and l merely
wished to be of service to your party"
Hang your service! l don't want
any of it,"
''No, probably not; but those that are
left behind, sir; you should think OF
them; you should, indeed, sir; but
then it must be consolation for you to
know that through your kindness two
persons have obtained places in this
train; many another man who had a
party coming would have bundled US
bodily out of the compartment"
1T is what should have been done,
cried the old gentleman.
ooh, don't say that, 1 beg of you" said
the young man, looking inexpressibly
hurt. But the old man was not to be
drawn out any more. He took the Eng
lish paper that he had paid three times
the London price for, and began read
ing it. The young man after several
fruitless attempts to engage him in
conversation and learn some of his
opinions on the news of the day, no

book whose pages were uncut, so he
took from his inside pocket small
ivory paper-lnife that he always car.
ried with him, and sitting opposite her
offered her the use of it. She thanked
him, and, greatly to the old gentle
mans annoyance, talked in friendly
manner with him until we came to
Calais; here the young man insisted
upon shaking hands with both of them
and again mentioned his deep regret
that the party had been left behind
but his expressions of sympathy were
entirely thrown away, for the old gen
tleman took his second Zg;fe- under his Il i
wing, and, ordering all the luggage to
be taken on the boat, departed. The
second wife looked over her shoulder
and smiled at the young man, who had
helped to beguile tedious railway

speaking with the utmost respect, he
continued; IF your party arrives even

The old man ,grunted, and the lady
smiled across at us, IL was quite evil
dent that she was his second wife, and
that the honeymoon was drawing to a
close. ftwas also evident that the lady
was just q little tired of the old gentle
man. and welcomed an accession to the
party, but the old man was mad clear
through; anyone could see that. He
muttered to himself that it was an
outrage and ought not to be permitted
in any civilized country. a man had a
perfect right TO a carriage taken for
his friends; this was always recognized
in England, and no gentleman, nor
anyone calling himself a gentleman,
would force his way into a compart-

moon revolving once on her axis in ex-

4 Physicians Story.
PHYSICIAN, HEAL. THYSELF."
THE ADAGE AFFIXED.
Or. Porter OF Kentucky Tells How
A vvas Done.

A was Done.
(Erom the M. Sterling, KY, Gdzette)
In the mountains of Eastern Kentucky
lives Dr. G. II. Porter, who for AZ years has
ministered to the sick in the counties OF
Rowan and Morgan, and has duringthat time
suffered more than many Of the patients on
whom he called. He was at last cured, and
his cure was so startling and miraculous
that it was soon the talk Of the the noun
tains, and finally reached the Bluegrass.
A reporter of the Gozefte concluded to IN.
vestigate in the interest Of suffering human
ity, and to his question the doctor replied:
Twenty years ago, while living IN Nor
gan county and prachcing my profession,
had terrible nervous shock that complete.
y Frustrated me, and from that time until
o few months ago | suffered untold agony,
and in fact never knew well day. ! tried
everything III the way of medicine that l
knew and consulted other physicians for
miles around, but | found no relief, and
resigned myselfto the inevitable and await
ed the end. A few months ago my son saw
an account in your paper of new medicine
called Dr. Williams Pink Pills and wanted
me TO try it. ] told him they would dome
no good, but after taking few doses felt
better, and again hope revived in my breast
i continued taking the pills, and continued
to improve, and now / believe have finally
recovered That is about ell Of the story.
| believe Pink Pills saved my life, and 2
never fail to recommend them in my prac.
tee. In fact, l. can tell you of a man that
you will pass sn your road home who has
been almost completely cured of rheuma-
tism after years of suffering, Mr.. s. G.
Bailey, is bis name and you can stop and
see him."
After thanking DIR. Porter the Gazette man
started for MIR. Bailey's residence. he was
found on his farm cutting some trees iown.
In reply to our inquiry Mr. Bailey said:
" Yes Dr. Porter told you the truth. suf-
fered for wears with rheumatism, and was
only able to leave my room in good weather,
aud then was not able to do any work. l
was urged by DR.. Porter to try Pink Pills,
for several weeks positively refused. He
finally overcame my prejudices, however,
and am glad of it, for you can see your
self what Pink Pills have done for me.
Come to the house, and will show you my
crutch and cane which Pink Pills have err
abled me to lay aside. ! have also been
giving these pills to q neighbours child,
which has scrofula, and it is improving
right along" The address of all the gentle
men referred to is, ElliottssIle, Rowan
County, Kentucky, and anyone can have
these statements verified by writingto them,
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. :, for
50 ceots per box, or six boxes for $3.50.

. VERY PRIVATE TELEPHONES.
They Are Rented in New York by the Ex-
tremely Wealthy.

They Are Rented in New York by the Ex-
tremely Wealthy.
Strangers in New York city, who
may have occasion to speak on the tel
ephone with one or other of the most
distinguished social lights of the city,
are apt to be annoyed at not being able
70 get the right telephone number.
When the central" is asked for the
number she asks in reply if you don't
know it. When you reply that you
can't remember it or have lost the
memorandum, she will answer back:
''We cannot give you Mr.. Croesus Van
derbilt's house unless you know the
number"
The truth is, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, that the girl would be break
ing strict rules of the company if she
gave this information. Many of the
Inillionaires and prominent society
people have telephones in their resi-
dences, but only for private use. The
mistress of the mansion makes known
the number only to particular friends,
and in exchange receives their num-
beers. She also leaves her number
with the head of the hospital where
she happens to be on the managing
committee.
Such families put telephones into
their palaces only on the proviso that
their names and telephone numbers
shall not appear i'll the directory. This
exclusive system is adopted in order
to prevent the annoyance of being con-
stantly rung up by outsiders.

HIDDEN BY vERpIeRls.
AN Egyptian Venus de Milo in the Gall
Tory of the Louvre.

AN Egyptian Venus de Milo in the Gall
lery of the Louvre.
An Egyptian statue, the finest of the
kind existing, and as q work of art
ranking with the Venus of Milo and the
Venus de Medici, has just been dis
covered in the Egyptian gallery of the
Louvre, almost by accident. 1t is in
bronze, says the Boston Traveller, and
is the portrait of queen of the 18th
dynasty, named Karomana. This
statue was covered with thick coat
ing of verdigris, which concealed its
most striking beauties, SO the visitors
constantly passed it without even sus-
pecting what a treasure was before
them.
An almost invisible trace of gold hav-
ing been detected on the surface, it was
thought that perhaps some gliding lay
under the verdigris, and the statue was
scraped little with extreme care.
Something was brought to view far
different from gliding. When the
beautiful queen was relieved from her
verdigris she was found to be clothed
In a robe damascened in gold and sill
yer. The workmanship is of the most
exquisite description, surprising any
thing known in ancient or modern art.
Indeed, the artists in work of the kind
in Paris often stand for hours before
this marvel in an ecstasy of admiration
and despair. The face has caressinE
tlxity of purpose, not unlike that of the
wonderful Venus of Milo in the same
building, but even greater delicacy of
outline. 1t sets one dreaming as to its
meaning and 1nNsterv

place occupied. Twice we walked the
length of the train, but without seeing
a spot available for two. l asked one
Of the officials if they intended TO put
on another carriage, but he replied that
there was room enough for all who
wished to go. "Then," said l, ''we shall
be obliged to you if you find us two
seats in the same compartment Inc
official shrugged his shoulders ana SAID
that we could easily find them II we
looked for them. This was about as
much satisfaction as one can get OUT
, of French railway official, who doesn't
know much, anyhow, and cares less.
Again we walked the length of the
train and I noticed one compartment
out of the door-window of which leaned
a very stout elderly gentleman. The
curtains on the two side windows were
drawn. and we could not see whether
there was vacant places there or not.
Nv friend, who is a very1suavc and po-
lite gentleman, said to the elderly man:
"Nill you excuse me a moment?' and
he proceeded to open the door.
"All the places here are taken" said
the elderly individual, hurriedly.
THAT'S just what want to see, said
my friend, and gently, firmly, but
politely, he opened the door to the
great danger of the old gentleman fall
inc out. A lady of perhaps 25 sat in one
corner seat; all the other places We're
vacant but piled with portmanteaux,
yalises and what not.
"Ah," said my friend, there seems
to be some vacant space here.
81 tell YOU" replied the elderly gen
tleInan, getting red in the face, that
all these places are taken. There is a
party of us, and I'm looking for the
others, who may arrive at any moment.
You will miss your train if you wait
here, for you will undoubtedly have to
get out
Ny friend glanced up at the big clock
placed in the center of the arch at the
end of the huge station, and said:
THE train leaves in two minutes, so
it seems to me your party is cutting it
little close"
1.-The party is all right" observed the
old gentleman, testify. They know
that l am reserving places for them.
and they will be here in plenty of time"
The lady in the corner smiled sweetly
at my friend, and he with some Teluct-
ance closed the door, for there was moth
ing more to be said, without calling the
old gentleman a liar, which we knew
very well that he was. Once more we
walked the whole length of the train.
Il wouldn't stand it," l said, impa-
tiently, for always get angry when l
see q man monopolizing a whole COM
partment, except when l do it myself.
81 should have gotten in and taken a
place in the corner. He is evidently
waiting for no party"
"Gently, gently said my friend, "all
in good time. l will leave them half a
minute to come, and then we will quiet
ly wander back to the old buffers car
riage and step in"
We did this and my friend once more
opened the door in spite of the pro-
testations on the part of the occupant,
who got redder and redder in the face
as he saw the attempt to force the posi-
zion.
81 tell you," he said chat it's no
good. My party will be here and then
you will have to go out and you will
miss your train
1--WE have made up our minds to
chance it, said my imperturbablef friend,
