Abating a Nuisance.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer prints a
sharp retort-a little too sharp, perhaps,
but of that the reader may judge-once
uttered by Mr.. Tomlinson, who was a
shrewd newspaper reporter, and at the
same time a genial, presentable person
and mover In polite society. Even In
polite society, however, man is not
sure of being politely treated. Says
the Plain Dealer:
Tomlinson seldom appeared at par
ty or a banquet or any other social
function, without being approached by
some one who would say:
"Hello! Well, 1 s'pose you're looking
after something to write up for your

he! he'
Tomnnson usually smiled, and let
such remarks pass without serious no
tice, but one night he was at dinner
given by the most exclusive club in the
city.
When the company was seated, Tom
Iinson found himself directly opposite
the head of one of the largest commits
sion houses In the city. The man looked
at the reporter for a moment, as If he
thought he must be mistaken. Evil
dently he was surprised to see report
er at such a place.
This nettied Tomlinson, and he watt
ed. When the buzz Of conversation had
died down, so that the commission man
could be heard by everybody, he said:
you'll havo full account of this in the
paper tomorrow, won't you"
"No," Tomlinson replied. ST didn't
come here to report the dinner. came
especially to see you. 1t is alleged that
you have formed strong corner in but
ter, and would like to get few facts
from you concerning the outlook for
eggs"
The man never spoke to Tomlinson
again.

but Mark was glad she was too wom-
anly a woman to even hint at the rela-
ton they had once borne to each other.
When he finished reading the letter his
heart was light, for he understood that
Margaret knew of the treachery that
had blotted the sunshine of his life.
Mark went straight home and told
his aunt, who was also his housekeep-
er. all about 1t. Mrs. Everts was knit
ting before the open coal fire. She was
a bright-faced old lady, with soft white
hair and a serene face. When he had
finished she laid down her work and
sat for a long time gazing into the
dancing flames.
"The only daughter of my old friend,
Rebecca Henson, in want of food,' she
said, note of pain in her voice. MARK,
you and I both have plenty of money,
there is room in this house, and in our
hearts, for Margaret and her babies.
But she Is proud. Go and ask her to
come and sew for me. Tell her I am
,onely, and ask her to bring her little
ones to brighten me up"
Mark bent to kiss the placid face.
"Thank you, Aunt Elsie, see you I'M
derstand." A few hours later he knock
ed at Maragret's door. He saw that
the years had changed her. The wild
rose bloom had faded from her cheeks,
tears had washed the joyous light from
her blue eyes; yet it was surely that
Margaret that he had loved that stood
before him.
She met him frankly and with IN
disguised pleasure. Her voice trembled
when she undertook to express her
gratitude. Mark made light of the
whole affair and insisted on talking of
their childhood days. The fruit and
nuts he brought proved an open sesame
10 the hearts of Agnes and Royce, and
they were soon on the best of terms
with the caller.
Margaret was very grateful for the
offer of work. She hesitated little
over accepting Mrs. Everts' kind fnvi-
tation, fearing lest the children prove
an annoyance. But when Mark drew a
touching picture of the loneliness of his

INVITATION.

ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to a woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely anywoman, rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

He Was Examined.

|
Francois Arago, the great French
scientist, was precocious youth. He
was prepared for the rigid examina-
tions of the Ecole Polytechnique before
he was II years old. Monsieur De Mire-
court tells a characteristic anecdote
| concerning Arago's examination.
The examiner was almost brutal in
his manner toward the young candi-
dates. A favorite companion Of Arago
was badly frightened at his severe
questions and failed to pass the exam

sternly, ".you are probably as ignorant
as your companion. l advise you to go

"Monsieur," replied the boy, "timidity
was all that prevented my companion
from passing. He knew much more

''Timidity !'exclaimed the examiner.

Ear from It," returned Arago
shortly.
.'Take care 1t would be wise to
spare yourself the disgrace of being
rejected"
"The disgrace for me would lie in not
being examined" said the young candi-
date, proudly.
Arago's solution Of the problems set
before him was so accurate and so
brilliant that at last his examiner
sprang from his chair, and throwing his
arms about the boys neck in delight,
exclaimed:
"Bravo If you are not received into
the Ecole Polytechnique, no one will
be admitted"
And he then began a career with

OF COURSE.

We all know what toothache is, with the
nagging, jumping, throbbing of single
nerve in single tooth. Now when we
come to reflect that system OF nerves
concentrated in some part of the body are
all aching at once, with their throbs and
pulsations of pain, we know what the worst
form of neuralgia is. 1t is very common,
very violent, simply because 1t is very
often, like toothache, allowed to take Its
own course Now it is known as fact
that when st. Jacobs Oil is used on the
parts affected, with patient application, the
pain will succumb and relief will certainly
follow. This is true of acute or chronic
cases, founded upon the testimony of many
who have been cured of the worst form.
