No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away bottle of their Digestive Cordial
TO anyone who might call at their New
York office there was great rush and a
great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved it to have
been a very clever advertising transac-
ton, for although they gave away thous-
ands of BOTTLES it was in the end profit
able; nearly everyone that took free
bottle came back for more and paid for
it with pleasure, saying they had de-
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing so uniformly success
full in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, it relieves at
once.

Circumstantial Evidence

To say that Bertie Forrest was in love
is altogether to mild way Of putting it.
He was help,essly. disparinRly. reckless
ly in love. and as he said, he didn't care
: who knew it. The girl was the daugh-
ter OF Colonel McHendree. and with
eyes viii h at once put Forrest into the
afore stated condition the first time he
ever looked into them.
She was a nice looking girl, and
rather liked him. He had plenty Of
money and therefore was inclined to be
lazy; wishing to srend his time at two
places, with her first, and when she
would no longer permit him to be with
her, 20 loaf at the club. Now, this girls
father had money too and was not par
ticular whether BERTHE Forrest or any
other young man showed attention to
his daughter. Who ever" he said.
Elsie does finally chose, has got to
show he is a man, with plenty Of nerve" !"
So when BERTHE heard this he felt that
luIOR0 WCIC oJ III Cuu WIN AAO"
was he to know whether he had any
nerve or not? And il he did have any
how was he to show it, The awfulness
II the thing striking him he drank more
than was good for him. and went to
sleep in one Of the window seats at the
club. His friends knew all the incidents
Of his affair, and seeing him in this con.
ditiop thought he must either have been
Tilted or kicked out Of the house by the
girls father. 80 they pitied him and let
him sleep undisturbed.
Elsie McHendree and her father had
been out riding in tho afternoon. He
vas q collector Of butterflies, and his
daughte- took quite an active interest in
this work. and would tramp over the
country with net in her hand for half
q day, and come homo in the evening
with all sorts Of things pinned on her
straw hat.

THE SACRED FLAME.

When love first flames
In the human breast
(Coy love, shy love,
love untried and wary),
Love that is naught,
but sweet unrest
(Mild love, young love,
love afraid and ehary)-
Then, oh, lover! thou
shouldst feed the flame,
Cover II, and aid Il.
and keep II free from blame,
Watch it, and guard it,
and prize what Il eonfe.e.!
And fan II into blazing,
with soft kisses and earesses!
When love burns bright
in the woman's heart
Brave love, strong love,
love complete and teeming)
Love that is all Of Life,
more than part.
(Full love, rich love,
love enthroned and beaming)-
Then, oh lover! thou
shouldst tend the fire,

The courier., 1897-10-16

This afternoon the two had made an
excursion into the Guyha country to get
specimens Of the rare black butterfly.
They had tramped and ridden for hours
and with it ell had not been very sue
cessful. just as they entered town. ono
OF the wheels OF their carriage broke
down and they had to leave it there with
their driver. Luckily another one passed
just as the accident happen ened and the
Colonel hired this to take him to his
club and his daughter home.
1t happened that just moment be-
fore the Colonel was let out at his club,
Berthe Forrest had awakened from his
sleep and feeling the need Of fresh air
had taken his hat and gone. He had
rot gone fifty steIs when the carriage
drove up and let Elsie's father out, and
then it started on.
For some unaccountable reason the
horses became frightened just as the
driver started them and instantly they
were tearing up the street TO the horror
OF the Colonel who was just climbing
the club steps. The girl was clinging 10
the cushions and the carnage was sway
ing from eide to side, while the driver
let fall the reirs, and sprang from the
seat.
BERTHE Forrest, who was crossing the
street, hearir the claiter and noise TURF
ed, and saw the horses and carriage al
most uron him. He was still dizzy from
the xcess OF his libations aud did not
easily understand what it meant. How
ever he saw the white face Of Elsie Nc
Hendree, and instinctively he leaned a
little to one side, ard made spring at
one Of the horses as they dashed by.
He caught some Of the harness, and
dragged little way. The violence OF
Of the motion brought him to realiza-
i'm Of what was happening, and in a
moment he was sober.
For all his lazinees he was an active
young fellow and before the horses had
run hundred yards he had managed to
pull himself upon the back of the one
who was dragging him, and ther stop
ping them was easy enough.
When he helped her out, she did not
faint nor throw herself into bis arms,
but only smile at him little and turn
ed to her father who came running up.
And when she was leaning on her fathers
arm. Forrest lighted cigarette and
started off to the club saving, that the
crowd which had gathered was beast
" bore" and he flushed q little for he
found that his tie was around under his
ear.
OF course he had sense enough to
keep still, and when any Of the fellows at
the club spoke Of Berthe having nerve,
he only smiled to himself No one was
the wiser and Elsies father thinks he is
the finest boy in the club, and takes him
out butterfly hunting.
Sometimes the finest boy asks him
self what he would have done had he
been sober.

WAS THE BILL BLACKMAILP
An Oil Inspection Bill Which Failed
Would Have Hurt Kansas
Industry.

An investigation of the records of the
legislature develops the fact that the
Fulton bill, relating to the inspection
OF coal oil within the state and pre-
scribing the amount of fees to be col
lected therefor did not become a law
1t is extremely fortunate that the bill
was defeated. Had it been enacted the
expenditure of thousands of dollars in
the construction of oil refneries in
southeastern Kansas would have been
stopped The works which are now
partially completed would have BEEN
torn down or permitted to decay be-
cause the law was so framed that it's
principal operation would have been di-
rected against the continuation of this
industry in Kansas.
There is a story going the rounds
that former state oil inspector, realiz-
ing an opportunity to engage in some
profitable occupation for a time, father
ed the bill. 1t is true that this individ-
ual called upon a representative of the
Standard Oil company in this city and
suggested that the bill was a menace
to the business of the big eastern COM
panies and that its defeat should be Sc
cured.
The oil magnates were aware that the
bill would destroy only Kansas bust
ness consequently they bothered little
about it. This did not prevent the man
who held office by appointment of the
governor some years ago from suggest
ing that he was in position to insure
the death of the bill. No further nego-
tiatiOns were had, as the oil cOmpany's
slider the bill worth the powder reQuir-
ed to kill il.
The owners of oil producing property
in southeastern Kansas will be highly
gratified to learn that the bill was kill
ed, reports that it passed to the con-

Governor Leedy while in Texas tele-
graphed to Attorney General Boyle
that he would not reappoint police
commissioners for Fort Scott at the ex-

that the governor had decided to abol-

board was the first to pass under the

faction with the board in Fort Scott
