lifted one of the lids. Mrs. Kirk
grabbed a bucket of water and threw
the water into the fire. 1t caused
burst of steam that lifted all the other
lids off and filled the room with debris
of cook stove and its appurtenances.
When the smoke and steam cleared
away Mrs. Kirk raked among the Goals
for her earrings. They had been in
the fire at least IS minutes. She found
the melted remnants of the gold set
tings and few minutes later she found
two irregular blackened masses which
she suspected were the missing dia.
monds- They lookel like half-burned
nuggets of hard coal, but as none of the
pieces of coal used were so small, she
concluded they must be the precious
stones IN disfgured condition.
The suspected articles were sent to
the corner druggist for analysis. He
tested them with all the means at his
disposal and pronounced them diamonds
of the first water. He said he thought
they would have to be repolished to
make them as good as new.
"of course, am very sorry to have,
such an accident to my fayorfe jew
els" said Mrs. Kirk to Chicago Chron-
icle reporter. "Iprized them very high
ly, because they are souvenirs of San
Francisco. / bought them when my
husband was alive and paid $3.50 for
them"
The girl who put the diamonds in
the stove to make the fire burn has not
explained why she didit- She appeared
TO be greatly affected by the happen
ing and said 1t "made her head hurt
to think about it. She was consoled,
however, by the words of Mrs. Kirk,
who asserted that she did not suspect
the girl of willfully using the diamonds
to start the fire, as a can Of kerosene
was always kept in the kitchen for that
purpose.

HIS DESK.

That is the story the morning Newspapers
tell of the modern business man Too
much money getting. Too Essssse care for
health. Too much rush, and strain, and
wear and tear. Too little time to eat, to
sleep, to digest the food, to rest tired body
and tortured brain. Not enough time to
think once in while of health and strength
and happiness and long and useful life A
widow and orphans left to mourn. A big
estate that under the dissecting knife of the
executor falls all to pieces. tbs the story
of thousands of business men in life reputed
wealthy and successful 1t is a story that is
unnecessary need not be.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery if
resorted to occasionally will keep man or
woman in good health. IT goes to the roots
of things. 1t tunes up the strings of life and
makes them vibrate to the music of good
health. 1t makes the appetite keen, the di-
gestion good, the blood pure, and the nerves
strong. Then ill-health is an impossibility,
and work is pleasure. Thouands say So.

that he tried another and then a third, and the

HE GREW NERVOUS.
Could Not Afford to Lose q Hair OF
Two Per Day.

A"o
The subject of badness is just now
agitating one of the members of the
United States senate. Until man be
gins to grow bald he considers it mark
of intirmity; after he begins to molt he
regards the desert space on his dome of
thought as an evidence of intellectual
ity.
The senator in question is very
averse, however, to the loss of his locks,
and made deep and long researches into
the matter of hair restorers, making
practical tests of such as recommended
themselves to his Judgment, but they
did not have the desired effect. He was
overjoyed, therefore, when a brother
senator returned from abroad bringing
with him a tale of marvellous hair re-
storative of magic power. One apph-
cation would make the hair sprout and
several applications caused it to come
forth in rich, luXuriant locks. The
senator's mouth fairly watered at the
description of that hair restorer. He
begged the happy possessor of this joy
Gus fluid to let him have bottle, and
the senator replied that it should be de-
livered to him on the next day.
But it didn't come that day, nor the
next, nor the next, and the senator grew
sick at heart with the hope deferred.
Meeting the possessor of the regenerat-
ing elixir in the senate elevator the
other day he at once buttonholed him
and inquired when he could expect that
hair restorer.
"Oh. I'll send it down Tomorrow:
was the reply.
"Well, now, look here" said the sena-
tor, earnestly, 81 want to get it just as
soon as possible. This thing is getting
serious - very serious Why, great
Scott, I'm losing a hair OF two every
day, and can't spare them---Washing-

MRS. Kinks DIAMONDS.

How n Chicago Woman Came Near
Losing Her Costly Earrings-Res-
cued from the Ashes Just I'm
the Nick of Time.

1t was fatiguing for Mrs. Catherine
Kirk to battle with her diamond ear
rings on She therefore acquired the
habit of removing these jewels from
the tips of her ears ON such occasions
The regret that filled her the other day,
and made her home at 461 Wabash ay-
enue, Chicago, seem gloomy and desc
late was q sequel to that habit. While
she bathed Saturday morning her maid
dumped the jewels into the kitchen
stove. 1t was purely unintentional.
The maid, who is Hottentot girl, was
in a hurry to make the fire burn, and she
gathered up some small pieces of paper
and threw them into the stove. Fast
ened to one of these pieces of paper
We're the earrings, for which Mrs. Kirk
paid $3.50.
The disappearance of the cleaning
gems was Immediately noticed by Mrs.
Kirk when she entered the room where
she had left them on table. Oftentimes
she had misplaced them, but never had
ANY difficulty in finding them before.
The stones radiated such strong
light that they were as easy to find as a
hot stove I'M small room. Mrs. Kirk
was therefore alarmed when she could
not find her ornaments. She asked the
maid if she had seen them, but the maid
replied in the negative.
"Did you take anything from this
table?" she asked of the girl, in trepida-
ton.
"Yessum."
"Some pieces of paper?"
."Yessum."

"Yessum." V
"And now they are all burned up?"
