youths .Companion,l


One of the earls of Dudley. who was
addicted TO the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in very awk-
ward predicament on certain occa-
sion. He was to spend the evening nj
the house of a friend and ordered his
carriage early. as he had long drive.
When the hour arrived the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one Of the guests. whose
way homeward lay past his lordship's
house. politely offered him a seat in
his carriage. The guest was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley. but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove very So
ciable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and relapsed into silence. Presently
he began to speak in low but dis
tinctly audible tone of voice, and his
companion. to his establishment, heard
him say:
Il am very sorry accepted his offer.
J don't know the man. 1t was civil,
certainly but the worst is, suppose
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts, and
was probably still meditating upon
the same unpleasant subject when the
Nioce of his companion broke the still
ness.
Apparently the stranger was anilct-
ed with the same malady from which
his lordship suffered. for he exactly
initiated Lord Dudley's tones as he
said
Perhaps he'll thinl, did It to make
his acquaintance. Why, i would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. I hope he won't nsk me to
dinner. for / shan't accept his invita-
ton"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words.
Immediately comprehended the Joke
against himself. and frankly offered
his hand TO his companion. making
many apologies for his Involuntary
rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous.
and from that night the two became
fast friends.

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
SarsaparilIa
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know It Absolutely curos
When Other Medicines Fall

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation Of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little Iodide OF Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, 1t
also contains those great anti-blious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion,
1t also contains those great kidney reme-
dies, IVA Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it Is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla q
matter OF surprise? You can SEQ why
Hoods sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.

eczema and suffered for seven years. She

Judge Cherry and jury have been
engaged today In hearing the case on
appeal of the Home Insurance COM
pany of New York and Phoenix Insur-
ance company of Hartford against He
Der j. Grant and company. Plaintiffs
brought action to recover s204.64 from
the defendant company, alleging the
same to be due as unearned commits
sions on n number of cancelled policies
of insurance. The case was tried be-
fore United States Commissioner A. q.
Norrell In December, 1895, who
found for the defendants In the sum of
S2O9.H, when an appeal was taken.
The defense Is that many of the
policies cancelled was at the request
of the insured and that II had paid
all such unearned premiums due there
on, but had first deducted the usual
expenses In short rate charges on re-
turning the premiums. 1t Ia also con-
tended by the defendant that II ac-
cepted the agency subject to the pre-
vailing rule among insurance COM
panies, which was that upon concella-
ton of an insurance agency 1t was
entitled to all commissions previously
received for writing Insurance policies
and that an agent was not required to
return to the company any portion of
his commissions previously received
on the amount of the unearned pre-
miums returned by companies to the
insured. thereafter.
