Darling" he said, looking down
tenderly into the eyes Of his bride, II
have often heard you say that there is
no true love without self sacrifice. You
have Taught me this great truth, and
now am going to prove my love by
giving up something that has been very
dear to me for years. You know how
fond am Of smoking. Well, dearest,
am going to abandon the practice, even
though it be like tearing out tmy-my"-
At this point his emotion apparently
overcame him, and he looked down at
the sweet face, expecting to see there
appreciation of his noble resolve, but
he saw only look Of blank disappoint-
ment.
What is the matter? Are you not
glad that am following your teach
ing?" he asked.
cts not that, she answered, almost
sobbing. "Never mind what it is." And
she rushed from the room.
The self sacrificing hero smiled. He
had learned from his wife's dearest
friend that she had set her heart on
buying him half dozen boxes of cigars
covered with lovely silver paper wrap
pers, with pictures in the middle.
And that is what gave birth to his
noble resolution. Pearson Weekly.

The latest idea for the protection OF
money and valuables is to have the
safe which contains them secured in.
side cabinet. Where the safe is kept
in q vault the vault serves the purposes
Of cabinet. In either case an electric
lining is used, consisting Of strips OF
metal mounted in connection with thin
metal sheets so arranged that even O
pin thrust through the cabinet and pen
etrating the lining will sound the alarm.
The door Of the vault cannot be opened,
nor can tho curtain of the cabinet be
raised. until time lock has disconnect-
ed it from the alarm system. In order
that the alarm box may be proof against
molestation il is made of steel and
placed within hood lined i'm tho same
way as the cabinet Any attempt at
tampering will cause an alarm to be
sounded, as in the case Of tho cabinet.
The door is held closed by heavy lag
bolts, tho partial removal of any of
which will give warning signal.
There arc several Of these lag bolts, and
before the door can be- opened they have
all to DO removed. which requires u con
siderable length Of time.

A Good Appetite.

How frequently we hear the remark
made when a PERSONS indisposition Is
spoken Of ooh, he can't have much the
fore he must be all right" AS a matter
Of fact, although q good appetite is some
times considered as u test of the state of
6 the health, it Is not an invariable test, for
s often those who are seriously Ill have good
capacities. This is the case with many con-
.gumptives and others, but a person with q
bad appetite Is not in good health. There
'is something wrong with him. Appetite
and hunger are generally used synony-
,mously, but hunger Is more than appetite.
1t is imperious, but is allayed after eating.
What is the best thing to,do when the
appetite wanesp The usual remedy Is q
tonic. For want Of appetite the real
remedies needed are often rest and sleep,
together with fresh air. Overwork when
feeble Is a cause of loss Of appetite. A
change of food is good remedy. Some
times the regimen has not been varied
enough and the system becomes coverbur-
dened with one kind Of material, and an
other kind Is deficient. An entire change
Of food may work wonders. A change of
scene, OF thought and OF environment are
some of the bost means to restorea jadcd
appetite for food. Outdoor exercise, work,
sea bathing-all these have n good effect,
and promote those changes in the body
which mako demand for food imperative.
These remedies are all natural ones, and
X rightly used can do no harm.--New

Washington. July 1.-THE tarif con.

consideration of the wool and sugar
schedules. but no agreement was
reached.
At one time during the afternoon the
senate and house conferees separated.
the house men repairing TO the ways and
means committee room. 1t was gener-
ally believed that this action on the part
OF the house men was for the purpose Of
deciding upon line Of policy on sugar,
but they declined to give out any In
formation.
Contrary TO published reports 1t is
positively asserted that the sugar sched-
ule has not been agreed upon, and in
fact that all the big questions before
the conference which have seemingly
been settled are only tentatively agreed
to, one side or the other insisting that
they shall be held open. Nothing will
be finally closed 30 far as the matters
OF importance are concerned until all
have been decided upon, and the con-
ferees are ready to come to q complete

conference more or less for two days,

ready to comprSmise the differences on
first and secon6-class woods by making
them both dutiable at IL cents, and a
compromise on third-class woods has
been signed by house members of the

press the hope that 1t will be satisfac-

on all wool OF value less than 10 cents

more than 10 cents and less than 13

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
Good Attendance at Opening Session

His Address.
Eminent Leaders Of Graad Old Party consple-

DotroIt, July 14.-Theanual convention
of the League OF Republican clubs met
= here yesterday. Nearly every state In
the Union is Represented. but the dele
CATION are not as large as In political
years"
The delegates were welcomed by Gov
ernor Pingree, who took occasion To ad-
wise his listeners that trusts are the
besetting eSil OF our country and should
be- rigidly legislated against.
President Woodmasse OF the league
delivered his annual address, which was
heartily received.
One feature OF the convention. II II may
be called q feature, is the absence o:
nearly all the well-known leaders Of the
Republican party.
Last nights mass meeting i'm the con-
vention hall was entertained for the
most part by extemporaneous speeches
Senators Hanna and Thurston and some
of the others scheduled to appear no;
being present.
The contest for the league presidency
which will be settled by today's elec-
ton, goes merrily on. Crawford of Ken
tucky and Fleitz Of Pennsylvania each
processes confidence in his election
while Pollasky OF Chicago asserts that
he is still in the race Notwithstanding
the Illinois delegation is not giving him
united support
Today will be held the convention o1
the Republican College league. The at
tendance promises to he light, and th'
sentiment OF the college men is that theii
gathering should hereafter be held In
April. during the school year, when theil
members can better be assembled.
The radical partisanship Of the leagu'
men was illustrated In the fact tina
Mayor Maybury, Democrat, was no
invited to offer a welcome to the dele
gates, Colonel III. M. Duffield having
