The Young Man Found Miss Gertrude
In, But She Was Not His
Fair Gertie.

One evening not long ago st. Joseph
young man, who is quite well known in So
ciety, started out to call on young lady
who lives in the eastern part of the city.
The young man had but recently met the
charmer and had never been to see her. He
did not anticipate any difficulty, however,
in finding the young lady's home, as he had
received careful directions from those who
had been there. In due time he arrived in
the neighborhood in which the young lady
lived. He was undecided as to the exact
house he was seeking, but after some hesita-
ton he selected that which he felt positive
was the young lady's place of abode. A
ring of the bell brought big darby nanny
to the door.
..Is Miss Gertrude in?" queried the caller.
Yes, sir; step in;" was the answer, and
the young man was ushered into the parlor.
1t seems that he was too deeply engrossed
with anticipations of pleasure to follow to
make close scrutiny, else he would have OBJ
served that surroundings were not just what
he had reason to expect. After few mo-
ments the young man was aroused by a
deep and powerful voice, Enthusiastically that
of the negro nanny, and its tone left no
question of the relationship between the
speaker and the person called.
"Gertie, dars a man in here what wants
to see yo'."
In a moment "Gertie," who resembled the
ace of spades in color, came into the room
and the young man fainted.-St. Joseph

A Dyspeptic's daily diet.

Dyspepsia is one of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
1t in a more OF less aggravated form Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness What the dys-
peptic needs is, not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toniug up of the entire system For

STA is due to just this quality which it
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food

Dr. Ayers SaTsaparilia puts strength into
the stomach, and brings il up to the level of

A resident of this town who has lost two
children during the past six years by vio-

the shock. and seriously sick as a result of
it. One child tagged 81 was killed by cy-
clone in 80 while at school; another, three
years later was run over by Burlington r.

so prey on the mind as to lead to serious ply
steal disorders has been well demonstrated
in this case. As result of them, her health
shattered and she has been a constant
sufferer since 1890. Her principal trouble
has been neuralgia of the stomach which
was very painful, and exhibited all the
symptoms of ordinary neuralgia, nervous

A Good Blood Purifier Neces-

Hoods SarsapariiIa unequaiied for
Making Rich, Red Blood.

The necessity for taking good Spring
Medicine to purify the blood and build up
the system is based upon natural and I'M
avoidable causes. In cold weather there
has been less perspiration and impurities
have not passed out of the system as they
should. Food has consisted largely OF
rich, fatty substances. and there has been
less opportunity for outdoor exercise.
The result is, the blood is loaded with inn
purities and these must be promptly ex-
PEELED or health will be endangered.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best Spring
Medicine because it is the best blood
purifier and tonic. 1t thoroughly purifies
the blood and gives vigor and vitality.
