shouldn't she have two dressing rooms

Why should she not have a reading
room, or what is better, why should it
not become the custom Of men to bring
their wives forward, on limited trains,
to the general reading room, where all
may sit and chat. And will time see a
piano added as one of the luxuries of
modern travel?

From the Omaha Excelsior, March 49,
o, Baron of the many palaces on
wheels, wherefore dost thou not have
more consideration for woman? In all
the cars that roll from Portland, Me-,
to Portland, Ore, it is man and his
comforts thou hast first considered.
Yet do not the fair sex give thee many
of their sheckels and should they not
be provided for as well'
When man ariseth in the morning
and goeth so perform his obolutions he
indeth room to spare, and two bowls
in which to wash. Woman findeth her
self locked out of a two by four closet
by the woman who got there first.
When she get in, there is scarce room
to turn around, while man, il crowded
in the washroom. steps into the smok-
ing room that ever adjoins and fixes
his necktie to a nicely.
When the lord of creation hath
breakfasted shall he sit in his own seat
forever and an hour No, indeed, he
seeks the seclusion that his smoking
room grants and listens to questionable
stories from travelling men. Or he may
go forward, if on limited train, and
find half a car turned into an elegant
lounging room-for men only-with
buffet where wines, beer, cigars and
cigarettes may be obtained, with great,
easy-cushioned lounging chairs, and
copies of all the latest magazines and
illustrated weeklies bound in leather
covers within reach. And there is
writing desk supplied with embossed
paper showing what a swell train one
is riding on and pen and ink all ready.
And the woman? What has she?

things. But the wildness faded from
her face when the hot flames curled
about her slender, writhing figure.
Shrieks of pain and terror burst from
her lips and her features were con-
torted in agony. Yet. to the last. in
her eyes shone the dumb terror OF dy-
ing wild things.
jonas Hooker slept soundly. His
conscience well commended him. He
had rid the community of a most dan
gerous witch. She had been fittingly
roasted, thereby edifying the general
public and warning all practisers of
witchcraft; and her bones had been
duly buried out Of human sight. Jonas
slept soundly.
. 1t was warm summer night, and
the small, square window was
open. A shadow darkened it's pale
night-light for a moment, but
there was no sound One awake,
tHouSh, might nave Scch two
disks of golden flame burning in the
gloom. But jonas and his wife slept.
The constable did not feel the soft
pressure of a fur-clad body against his
cheek. He did not feel the hot, saw
age breath nor the glare of the fiery
eyes above his face. The cat tribe have
a strange power over their prey. Jonas
did not awake when sharp claws sank
into his flesh till the blood came. Even
when long, sharp teeth pierced the
great vein in his neck and the blood
flowed freely he still lay sleeping or
Supplied. For long time he lay I'M
moving, breathing more and more
slowly, while the warm blood ran
across his breast and formed a pool by
his side. 1t still flowed slowly after he
had ceased altogether to breathe. and
lay damp with the death-sweat.
His wife slept also. Once her hand
fell in the pool of warm blood by her
husbands side She dreamed that it
was thrust into fire and burned, and,
sleeping, she snatched it away. In the
morning the blood was dried upon it.
In the morning, too. the dead body of
a great black cat was found out
stretched on the grave of the witch that
had been burned the day before.

Joseph solomon Roughly Handled by Hi
Discarded Rivals.

Gertrude Bloomington lives on Chat
ham street and has many admirers, but
Joseph Solomon, 20 years old and good
looking, has been the most favored of
them all. This has made for Solomon
many enemies, among the young men
who aspire to bask in the sunlight of
Miss Bloomington smiles, and last
night two of Solomon's discarded rivals
sought revenge on the young man.
At about nine O'Clock Solomon and the
young lady were standing in front of
Miss Bloomington s house, when Deep
habe Hamdony aud Films Cowry came
along, and without provocation pitched
into Solomon and began to handle him
in no gentle manner. Solomon put up u
plucky fight while the young lady ran
down the street shouting for help Officer
White happened along about this time
and placed Sulomon's assallants under
arrest. The victim Of the assault had one
of the bones of is hand broken in the me
lee and was otherwise injured. The
broken bono was set by DR.. OfNeil and

death benefits of 81, 900 each have been
paid, one being on death which occurred

amount to be paid in 1897, when the
same becomes due. One hundred and

Der in the employ of the road amounted
to six dollars and fifty cents, being IAN
average of thirty eight and one fourth
cents for each death. The freneft fund
having been more than sufficient to pay
tnessick5benefits. it has been thought
advisable to draw on this fund from time

purpose Of making the premiums az low

the employ of the Maine Central railroad.
We have drawn on the benefit fund in
the past year for this purpose to the
amount of three thousand eight hundred

DYSPEPSIA.
4 Life Of Agony, a Death Of Pain, is the

This dreaded disease is caused by imperfect

blood. Gastric ulcers appear at certain stage,
they slowly cat into the yltals OF the victim,

The patient at last dies from starvation, unless
a knawing ulcer penetrates an artery, and
death from hemorrhage is the result. Do not
continue to suffer. You can be cured.
