HE BROUGHT IT FROM THE
WORLDS FAIR.
And kept it two years.

The great worlds Fair, at Chicago, in
1893, while it gave pleasure to many, gave
pain to not a few as an indirect result OF
their visit to the White City. People were
lured along the miles of wonderful exhln-
its by the new marvels that met the gaze
at every step, and did not realize their
exhaustion until they dropped into a
chair in some breezy corner by the lake,
and cooled off," That's what began the
trouble, in many cases. Of one such case,
Mrs. L. w. Stevens, Fort Fairfield, Me-,
writes:
"My husband took severe cold and
cough two years ago last October-time of
the Worlds Fair, which we attended. This
cough lasted over two years, was accom-
panied by splitting of blood, and nothing
could be found to help him, although vari-
Gus remedies were tried. Several doctors
were consulted, but their prescriptions
afforded no relief Finally, saw an adj
vertisement of DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral
in my paper and prevailed upon my hus-
band to get bottle and try it. The very
first dose helped him and he was COM
pletely cured in a short time. We feel

reft of all power over his body as he
turned into the path leading to the
Rock. What should he find there?
Had the body of Imogene been tossed
up on the shore, or had she made a re-
past for the fishes? God help him!
His brow felt as if an iron band bound
it round, the world was dark as night,
his head whirled so that he had to
steady himself by the door knob before
he lifted the latch
He heard voices in the sitting room.
With a desperate courage he APP
preached the door. He might as we'll
face the worst at onoe. He entered the
room; all was bright and cheerful. His
mother was sewing in her great chair
before the fire, and there sitting quietly
by the south window, with some fancy
knitting in her hand, was Imcgene
Trenholme!

CT was called away" he answered,
with some agitation, looking into the
pale face of his wife But she betrayed
no conscious sign that she knew any
thing perhaps she did not. He could
not tell. Just then he could not bear to
go in to listen to his mothers kindly
gossip. He wanted to be let alone to
collect his scattered faculties.
He started to go up to the library.
On the upper landing he met Helen Full
ton. She was singing gayly stanza
from Comm thro' the Rye" but some
thing in her face made Ralph Tren-
holme lay strong hand upon her arm.
Miss Helen, where were you last
night?" he asked abruptly.
In the body, at your service, Mr..
Trenholme," dropping him a curtsy.
Don't trifle, if you please. Answer
me truly. Did you save me from the
commission of crime the remembr ance
of which must have embittered my
whole life?"
Il? Fie! Mr.. Trenholme! What did
you intend to do? Kiss the sculiery
maid? She's rather good looking, and
her hair would be auburn if it wasn't

toad?"
Il do not know to what you refer
We'll, once upon time, a very good
man, a member of the church, guess,
became so disturbed in his mind that
sleep forsook his pillow. He grew pale
and haggard. His anxious wife in
quired the cause, and after a great deal
of hesitation he informed her that he
had committed a murder, and buried
his victim under an apple tree in the
garden. The good woman got a couple
of men to dig for the unfortunate re-
mains, and after a hard two hours work
they turned up the skeleton of a toad.
Now would respectfully inquire if you
have killed a toad?"
''You are incorrigib1e! But you shall
not evade my question. Were you out
in the boat last night?"
Don't! You hurt my arm! And
you'll break my bracelet. And it cost
a heap of money. Yes, was out in the
boat"
did you go to the Rover's Reef?"
"I did,
"For what?"
"To see the Rover, of course
"Pshaw! Did you see me when I
went there?"
I did; but unfortunately you were
not the Rover. You are not dark
enough, and you don't wear a nous

The testimonial benefit to Manager
Ch1ton takes place this evening at the
Orpneum. The house ought to be
crowded, but if it is, it will be COM
Portable and cool, for it is the best
ventilated and coolest house of enter
talnment in the State. A circulation of
air is had through it with great ease,
and always with success, no matter
what the exterior conditions. Despite
yesterdays heat, for instance, the Or
pheum last evening was delightfully."-
cool, sheltered as it is, and all it's walls
being free from long sun exposure and
amply supplied with large openings.
Manager Clifton deserves we'll of the
public, and tonight should testify to
the fact and encourage him to carry
out the program he has in view for the
fall and winter season. He proposes
to run good, strong legitimate and
high-class attractions only, no cheap
and trivial things, but performances
worthy of the patronage of the intelli-
gent and cultivated taste, if the public
manifests a desire for such a course.
The benefit tonight is promoted by
the merchants, the Elks, the athletic
associations, musical people, the wheel
men and amateur performers. The pro-
gram is very meaty, and varied enough
to satisfy the eXacting. 1t is made up
by home people, but let it be borne IN
mind that these same people, II coming
to US as strangers, would IN by Tar
the largest number of cases be reck-
oned superior performers. Familiarity
in this case should not blind our judg-
ments.
The program will open with fine
and daring trapeze act by Robert
Frawley, to be followed by the song
Little Darling, Dream OF Me-" by Ed
gar A. Coffman. DR.. Jerome G. Car
roll, Charles H. Ellsworth and William
Howe. Emmett Phillips will then ap-
pear in a humorous monologue, with
parody songs and conversational Wit.

troduced by Mrs. A. Lindsey and MISS
