SHOWED HIS BAGGAGE.
There Wasn't Much of 1t, but 1t Satisfied

There Wasn't Much of 1t, but 1t Satisfied
the Clerk.
It is not always necessary to travel
with three or four saratogas, a dress
suit case, a bundle Of rugs and bird
cage in order to obtain good accommo-
dations at hotels.
Occasionally there does exist through
out this hospitable land hotel which
does not require a certificate as to per-
sons ancestry, status in life, past his
tory and future movements before its
clerk permits one the privilege of a
room. At least this is the firm belief
advanced by young Chicago couple
just back from their wedding trip
Down east one day the train wended its
way through the woods and heights of
the Adirondacks and miles away from
civilization halted at lone platform
bordered by piny wi1dness too allur.
ing to be sighted by westerners fresh
from prairie lands.
"Train stops hour and Is minutes, +"
announced the young husband who had
made dash for the conductor. Out on
the platform and up the charming road
wandered these two, and time few.
However, they kept an eye on their
watches and reached the platform with
ten minutes to spare.
But the train was gone.
A lone man perched at the end Of the
platform explained in bored way in
the face Of their Indignation that it was
Is minutes and not hour and Is min
utes that the train stopped.
"When is the next train?" the trav-
elers begged.
"There isn't any," sweetly said the
native.
"Where is hotel?' they shouted.
Cup the road the other way" the
sphinx said in a tired way and turned
to watch the antics Of grasshopper.
Up the road the other way they went
and discovered in the wilderness a no.
tel with naughty clerk, electric lights
and all modern improvements.
ANY baggage?' inquired the man at
the desk as the young man registered.
The travellers gasped in CONSERVATION
as they stared wildly at each other with
the sudden SHOCK OF realizing that trous-
seau, travelling bags and umbrellas were
speeding miles away from them.
ooh, yesr' gulped the young husband
airily. Baggage - of course. y He
plunged into one pocket, drew out a
small comb, his wife's powder box and
it's accompanying square of channels,
which he gravely laid before the clerk.
That gentleman never moved an eye
lash.
"Frontl'' he called. "No 227l''
The heroine of this story still claims
the imperturbable clerk was a mind
reader, but her husband says it was all
due to her helpless, appealing air and
the streak of cinders on her nose. -Chi-

Irrespective of everything else, COW

the poorest quality some six or seven
weeks after calving, and as the quantity
goes down from advancing lactation
the quality or richness of the same goes

lous taints which cause it. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla cures catarrh, promptly and per-
manently, because it strikes at the root
of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate passages
of the mucous membrane, soothes and re-
builds the tissues, giving them tendency
to health instead of disease, and ultimate
ly curing the affection.
AT the same time Hoods Sarsaparilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies the
whole system and makes the debilitated
victim of catarrh feel that new life has
been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants Oh

Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh absolutely
and surely by removing the causes which
produce it.

NATURES gPITAPH.

Who knows where the graveyard 10
Where the fox and the eagle lief
Who has seen the obsequtes
OF the red deer when they diei
With death they steal away
Out Of the sight of the sun,
Out of the sight of the living; they
Pay the debt and are done.
No marble marks the place;
The common forest brown
Covers them over with Quaker grace
Just where they laid them down.
But a few years, if you see
In summer deeper green
Here and there, it is like to be
The spot where their bones have been
Thus, not more, to the poor dead year.
No grave nor ghostly stone,
But a greener life and warmer cheer
Be the only sign that he's gone.

"ALL THE WHILE"

We may make new homes in coun-
tries
Far across the azure sea,
And the paths that know our foot
steps
In fairer land may be;
But though scenes of rarer beauty
May our wistful eyes beguile-
There'n be no home like the old home
That we cherish all the whilel
AS we wander through the wide world,
Seeking fortune, friends, and fame,
Many hands will reach to grasp ours,
Many lips will speak our name;
But of all the kindly faces
That for us will wear a smile,
There'll be no friend like the old
friend,
That has loved us all the whilei
Other hearts will learn to love us,
Making sunshine on our way,
Tender links Of new affections
Will enehain us day by day;
But as onward still we journey,
Growing wearier mile by mile,
There'll be no love like the old love,
That has blest us all the while.

Japanese Imitation.

The Japanese are almost universally
condemned by writer's for the imita-
tion practiced by them of late years
Of western literature, art, science and
invention. And yet this imitation
seems natural and right. Imagine, if
possible, the nation of Japan leaping
across the civilization of hundreds of
years in half a century. Think Of her
emerging from the darkness of the
middle ages and standing suddenly
forth in the light of the nineteenth
century. Would it not have been
worse than madness for her to have
said, This new civilization is better
than ours, yet we will not initiate it.
We will retain our originality, and per-
haps in ages to come we shall reach
the enlightened state now enjoyed by
the rest of the world"
But fortunately the japanese did not
say this, but gave themselves up to the
acquisition Of the wonderful stores OF
knowledge opened to them.

RETAIL LIQUOR DEALERS.

Owing to the heat there were not as many present at the meeting of the Retail Liquor Dealers association in Elks' hall yesterday afternoon as at the meeting last week. But there was the same unanimity and determined or- ganization. The committee which was appointed last week to confer with the brewers reported that they had met and conferred with the majority of the local brewers, but that some of the agents of the brewers had asked for more time. The agents had previously been instructed by their principals as to what price they should charge and have not been able yettto report the action of the local dealers to the brew CTS.
 Consequently it was unanimously agreed that the meeting should be ad- journed for two weeks to meet in the same hall. The same committee was empowered to complete their confer ence with the agents and instructed to report all action to the next meet ing. It is understood that several of the brewers have not raised their price while others are bearing half the tax. The majority of the dealers will in the meantime reduce the size of the glasses served to the consumer.
