Even Up.

During the summer of 1896 handsome
New England woman paid visit to one of
the North side society queens of Wichita.
In due time a swell lawn party was
given by the hostess at her home, to
western friends. Among those invited
was Will Beatty. He was presented to
the eastern lady, and it happened to be his
good fortune little later in the evening to
have her on his arm promenading over the
velvety lawn. In the course of the con-
business he followed, and he replied: "I'm
a commercial traveller" The visitor, pos
sbly in moment of mental alteration,
made this remark: '1n the east commercial
travellers do not go in the best society"
Before the last word had hardly left her
lips Mr.. Beatty replied: "They don't here
either" Conversation was carried on after
that in entirely different channels.-Wichita

Spring Medicine
A Good Blood Purifier q Neces-
sity Now
Rood's 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 un-
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 purifes
the blood and gives vigor and vitality.

I now went out to the stables and

something against the rocks near at
hand, and going down to investigate,
I found, rubbing it's nose upon the
bank, the very boat which 1 had
moored to the mesa encantada when I
commenced my ascent. To embark in
it with Ippolita, and to gain the op-
posite shore of the lake, was matter
of few moments, and in a few hours
more we found ourselves safe and
sound in the city of Florence, where I
was at once married to the fair and
naughty heiress Of the duchy of Firen-
zalino.
And now Fate, which had been so
kind to me, seemed to turn her back
to me, for Ippolita fell suddenly and
dangerously sick and languished for a
whole month between life and death.
And for all that time she wandered in
her mind, and talked incoherently and,
to the great wonder of all her attend
ants of things connected with her past
life; and when at last she recovered,
though her mind had returned with
all it's brightness and vivacity and
playfulness, yet had she forgotten
every particle Of her existence up 70
tn, point of her marriage, and she
imagined that her parents were we'll
to-do trades people of the city Of
Florence, then deceased and that she
had first met me in that town.
| This is the end of the story. I have
tol l it honestly, and as I remember
the facts; and, in the face of the very
matter Of it, and Of the proofs which
I have adduced in the living person of
Ippolita, in the assertive and bounding
individuality of Nero, in the indubita-
BILE existence of the small rocky island
midst of that pellucid lake, is there
any one who can doubt the truth Of it2
