Captain Kings Umbrella Story,

Captain Charley King, the famous mill
tary novelist, is short, plump gentle
man, with military step. and the gen.
eral cut of a retired officer. His face
has the red glow of vigorous health, and
he has light hair, a light mustache, and
blue or steel gray eyes A pair of gold
glasses is the only accessory to his per-
sopal appearance that gives him a liter
AIRY look.
Captain King is making his headuuar-
ters at the Army and Navy club, SAYS a
washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune. Here is a story he told to
a number of newspaper men the other
day.
After a separation of sixteen years,
met an old university friend of mine one
day at Madison, Wis. OF course we fell
INTO "a reminiscent strain, and he re-
marked:
King, do YOU remember that ornery
umbrella l used to carry"
Quite well; l remember it on account
OF its many peculiarities.'
- admit it was the most onery nm
brella anybody ever carried. But loved
that umbrella for the faithful services it
mad rendered me; ! reVered il for it's age
ana experience, and esteemed it for its
hdelty to my person. Other umbrellas
might get lost and never return but
am sure | must have forgotten it in ey-
cry saloon and sample room in town
without ever losing it. 1t might stay out
over night, but the next day it would be
sure to be returned to me by some
friendly genius who respected the ties of
attachment subsisting between that UNI
brella and me.
- But 1t came to pass that l went to
church one Sunday to drink in the spirit
OF CHRISTIAN grace, and fill myself with
the JUNCTION of Christian sanctity. | for
got my umbrella in my seat
" by JoVe, old man, would you believe
it, never saw that umbrella againY"

Thought He Was Playing Poker.

A New Mother-in.Law Joke.

For a week the guilty wretch had pos
sessed his secret in silence starting at
every sound, and catching his breath at
every shadow. Yet he told himself that
he was quite safe, that no one knew of
his guilt but himself. They might guess,
but they could prove nothing. He would
do it again if he had the chance. 1t was
natures first law to protect oneself. He
had thought it all outflow he would act,
and what he would say. Yet when the
first breath of suspicion was directed to-
ward him he started and turned pale, and
all the defense which he had so elabor-
ately constructed fell to the ground when
his wife turned her questioning eyes upon
him, and said:
John, did you post that letter to
mother | gave you last week?"
yes"
Are you sure?"
"Yes"
she never received it,"
"Yes-I mcan--Dash it, Il
John, don't swear"
"Yes-er-I mean ] won't, my dear"
1T is very strange"
"Yes-er-perhaps 1t was lost in the
post"
YES; that must be it, mused his wife.
81 wrote mother to postpone her visit
for few months, and l have just re-
ceived Il letter saying that we might eX-
pect her today"
Once alone the wretched man prayed
that a nine-story house might fall upon
him and crush him.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How euro
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparills
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams ST.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla OF all
druggists. BE sure to get only Hoods.

Not strange because II happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, but just story Of
misery and suffering sueh as only women

For eighteen years, Sara z. Bowen, Of
Peru, Indiana, carried a burden Of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she suf-
fefed the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot Of woman.
That she did not die Is almost beyond
belief.
That she is well to-day is a miracle.
Mrs. Bowen's trouble requires no deserip-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says:
"For eighteen years l suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
II was broken down piece Of human

"My brain was tortured until could re-

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, Feb. 4.-The remarkable
buoyancy of a few special stocks lifted
today's market out of a slough OF de-
preston and closed the day with net
gains. though there were a few losses
in exceptional cases. Net changes were
small in the general list, but the gains
in the little group Of leaders were cX-
tracrdnary. The Erie stocks showed the
effect of some unusual demand at the
opening of the market and the first pre-.
ferred ended with a gain of over points.
Connected in some way with this was
the movement in Susquehanna and
Western which gained in force as thu
day advanced. The preferred stock
showed a gain OF points on the last
transaction, the common stock 3A There
was nothing in the news of the day to
explain these movements. Total sales
were 294, 200 shares.

AMERICAN RAILWAYS,

There is so much abuse of the rail-
ways of America by politicians in this
country that it is well to know what
foreigners say of them.
Ii Hung Chang, the great viceroy of
China, said: Nowhere else in the world
are there such fast and luxurious trains
as in America.
Marquis aYmagata, Held marshal of
the Japanese empire said 1.-The speed,
the comfort, the luxury of your railroads,
is a marvel to me-"
Marquis Yamagata. field marshal of
railroads of Russia, said: There is moth
ing in Europe to compare with your rail-
roads,
Sir Henry Truman Wood, special rep
resentative of the British government to
the worlds fair of 1898, said that no.
where in Europe could there be found
such luxury in travel and such excellent
service as are given on the railways OF
the United States.
The latest reliable comparison of aver
age rates in the United States with other
countries shows as follows:
