The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

From the Fsirhaven IN. W Registerl
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been sufferer from Rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in such
pain that she was nearly crazy. She
sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but
he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
scian he went to the store and secured
bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of MIR. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

deal duller if he were the only sum-

therefore, his misery finds that which
misery always loves.
These few predatory remarks will
explain why the reporter should have
been in restaurant at meal time. AS
he sat thinking what a dreadful
world this would be if there were no
women in it, his atten tiOn was at
tracted by a man who seemed to be
glad that he could eat in restaurant
at any time. He had taken his seat
and picked up the menu with the air
of a person who had happened upon
a good thing not unexpectedly. The
waiter paid such attention to him as
a waiter always pays to a guest who
is unknown to him.
The guest looked up from the menu
and nodded at the waiter.

MRS. TALLBoY's GUEST.

came upstairs. She was HuShed ami
tired. All the morning she had been
in the kitchen, the oven door opening
resounding with the beating of eggs
and pounding of crackers 1t was the
first Tuesday in October. The great
annual meeting of the A. B. C. F. M.
was to be held in c. this yean and
this was the day when it would begin,
with it's influx of visitors from every
part of Christendom. ''There is an
ocean of things to be done yet" con-
tinued Mrs. Tallboy to her aunt who
had just dropped in for moment,
land I'm tired to death now"
She Shutdown in an attitude of utter
detection with an arnful of fresh
towels in her lap.
Louise" said Aunt Eliza, its be-
cause you won't give up your beset-
ting sin. You can't look me in the
face this moment and deny that
you've been making three kinds of
cake when one would do, and rolling
croquetts like Martina instead of Civ
ing your guests cold ham like Mary.
How many are you going to have?"
-Four! Fool that I was to say I'd
take so many when the committee
came round last spring! A minister
and his wife from Fileno Maine
wherever that may be-and a home
missionary and his wife from out
west somewhere
"Well, dear, it's not for your own
pleasure you undertake it. Don't for
get that and I'm sure the Lord will
help you through"
''Faith and fatigue never go along
together with me, [ find" answered
Mrs. Tallboy, taking up the towels
with a sigh.
She got through with all that her
ideals of housekeeping demanded
barely in time to dress herself and
meet her guests, when they arrived
before tea, with a smile, which to her
eyes bore no suspicion of forcing.
The Reverend Mr.. and Mrs Brock of
Fileno-he, tall and thin, with a gen
tie stare over his spectacles as if he
called back his ideas from another
world with an effort; she, thin, also,
but small, worn, and misunderstanding,
in well-preserved black dress of the
style of a dozen years back, and a
snowy bonnet-presented by the viii
lage milliner for this occasion-that
bore no relation whatever to the meek
little head under it, with it's face SO
patient and sweet. Mr.. and Mrs. Hey
ward, the other two, were younger
and more sprightly, with heartiness
and western frankness that stood out
in striking relief from the quiet, SUBJ
dued manner of the Brooks.
The supper was excellent and went
off well. That lifted Mrs. Tallboy's
spirits a little, as did also her hus-
band scheerfulness at the sight of his
well-flled table. But the fatigue was
still there, and the rebellion that she
had consented to all this trouble for
perfect strangers. She had given up
her own room to the Brooks When
she went to bed she had to go to ID

we were assigned to!"
EYES," answered the minister's slow
voice, ''we're highly favored every
way, Amanda, Mrs. Tallboy seems to
be really delighted to have us''-here
he paused as if hunting for some
thing. 81 was almost afraid you'd
forgotten my clean collars for the
week, but I've found them in the bot
tom of the bag. You know you were
so excited, dear, yesterday, when You
were packing, it wouldn't have been

"Well, and it's nothing to wonder
at if l was," answered the other gen.
tie voice, as if half laughing. 'It's
the first outing I've had for fifteen
years, you know" Then she went on
eNcitedly. ooh, Josiah, to think that
for three whole days not hands
turn to do, and I'm going to those
grand meetings, and shall hear and
see those men I've read of all my life!

mo, Amanda" answered the min
ister's voice, with a fearful culver in
it, ''you deserve every bit of it. Let
llneel right down now and thank
the Lord for his great goodness to
u.s."
Mrs. Tallboy left the closet softly,
and her eyes were running over when
she went back to her husband
I'm ashamed of myself for listen
ing, and yet I'm glad [ did. [ never
should have dreamed how happy we
were making these good Christians,
putting pleasures into their lives they
will never forget. What am I-un-
grateful, fretful creature!- THAT such
a privilege should have been given to
me and my house? Why, this sweet,
frail-lool<ing woman has eight chill
dren, she told me at tea, and her hus-
bands salary was raised this year 10
seven hundred dollars! And she hasn't
been away from home for a single day
for fifteen years. Oh, won't [ see that
she has good time now! And [ be-
gin to like the Heywards too; such
frank, whole-hearted people, no trou-
bic at all to entertain. John" with
a little sob, ''let us kneel down to-
gether, as we used to when we were
first married.
1t was a happy but tear-stained face
that Mr.. Tallboy tenderly kissed when
they rose from their knees.
Somehow the guests did not seem
after that like strangers, but friends.
And the meetings, where thousands
met filled with single thought, were
full of inspiration and kindled glow

the brightest spot in her last year
was the time of the Board meetings
in your house. 1t seems that she al
ready suspected what suffering was
before her. But those days of rest
and real pleasure were like special
blessing sent before her trial. She
often spoke of them in her last terri
BILE illness. l never can thank you
enough that you gave them to her."
Mrs. Tallboy could not speak as she
handed the letter to her husband.
Three years after, the Tallboy's son,
a wild boy, went west, much against
their wishes. In a few months he
was taken i'll, and consumption, long
in his system, seemed inevitable. 1t
was a long, sad journey for the an
guish stricken parents, their only
hope to reach him before he died. At
the station in the little far-off settle
ment, what should first greet their
astonished eyes but the cheerful, red
whiskered face of Mr.. Hayward!
Your son is at our housed" he ex-
claimed, with a hearty grip of his
strong hand, first one, then the other

brought him home that very day to
his wife, though they had moved into

before and were still all in a heap.
Already the careful nursing they
had given him was telling on him, SO
the doctor assured Mr.. Tallboy. Quite
IS much as by the signs of returning
health the parents hearts were glad
dened by seeing in their hayward boy
new humility of spirit and a
thoughtfulness for others.
The next afternoon Mrs. Tallboy
was sitting in happy silence beside his
rocking-chair on the little porch fa,-
ing the glorious mountains. He took
her hand softly.
''The night Mr.. Hayward brought

they both thought I was dying. He

Capt o. NJ. Carter, whose appointment
as United States military attache to the
American embassy at London, was an
nounced in yesterdays Morning News,
will not leave Savannah for several weeks.
He is much interested in the work he has
been doing for Savannah, looking to the
deepening of the channel of navigation

and has an understanding with the Sec
rotary of War by which he viii not hurry
away from his post of duty here.
BY a recent survey of the details of
the work that has been done for the chan
mel in the Savannah river to this port.
Capt. Carter finds that the channel is not
only deepening, out growing "luer between
Savannah and Tybee roads
Savannah has reason TO rejoice in this
result of Capt. Carriers labors for the
commercial interests of the port for it
is something unusual for rivers such as
this, running for miles through great san
dy valleys and emptylng into the sea
in such sandy regions as this, to be so
completely mastered by scientific manipu-
lation as to establish in their channels
of navigation an automatic and permanent
system by which the natural dredging is
made so effective.
Capt. Carter planned this system sew
eral years ago. He has more than fifty
miles of spurs leading into the channel
between Savannah and the sea, which aid
in cutting the bed of the channel out, and
preventing it from filling in with sand
from year to year.
While his many friends here are joyful
over his distinction in being selected by
the administration to represent the mill

They Also Want shorter Hours on
Saturday Nights.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Savannah Retail Clerks Association was
held last night at the Odd Fellows hall.
President H. A. Dumas was in the chair.
BY additions received at the meeting the
membership of the association was run
up to AIS. OF the new members 221 are
young ladies who are active in all respects
except attendance upon meetings.
Reports submitted showed that all of
the dry goods houses have agreed to close
during the summer months at $50 o'clock
every afternoon during the week, except
Saturdays Nothing has been agreed up
on by the dry goods merchants for the fan
and winter. but the shoe and clothing
dealers have signified their willingness to
close at o'clock throughout the year.
These concessions are earnestly welcom-
ed by the clerks and their announcement
caused a great deal of satisfaction. The
late Saturday night hours are also an
objection to the clerks The aid of two
or three aldermen is said to have been
enlisted, and they will try to have the
market closed earlier on Saturday. The
clerks say the fact of the market remain
ing open prevents storekeepers from clos
ing, as all their trade would go there If
they should close before it does.
