A Similarity of Names,

Some seem to confound the name Of
George E. Allan, who was defendant
in a late case in Judge Henry's court,
with the name of our firm. We wish
to say that Mr. Allan was working
for another piano house in this city,
and our firm was in no way connected
with the transactions aired in court.
We also want to say that purchasers
do not have to pay fancy prices and
big commissions when they buy pianos
of us. We retail at what others call
wholesale prices. Wiley B. Allen Com

The Drexfus Case.

A remarkable change has taken place
In public opinion regarding the guilt of
Dreyfus, and there is good reason to hope
that it will be reflected in the sentence
rendered by the supreme tribunal. His
feelings must be something akin to those
of the sufferer released from the chains
of weak stomach by that powerful foe
to dyspepsia, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
A man might as well be in prison as to
have weak stomach. 1t will bring just
as much misery Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will cure constipation, indiges-
ton, biliousness, liver and kidney trou-
bles. An occasional dose will keep the
bowels regular and the stomach vigorous.

NOT AFRAID OF FIRE.
Philadelphia Retriever That Went
After Firecrackers without
Sign OF Fear.

Among the enthusiastic patriots up
town the other day was man who
owns a handsome spaniel and one es-
pecially good at retrieving. This man,
reports the Philadelphia Record, be-
gan his celebration by throwing pack
of small frecrackers into the street
and before the first one had a chance
10 explode the dog rushed out and
grabbed the bunch and was making
toward his master as fast as he could.
Before the innocent dog reached his
destination, however, an explosion
took place. and one after another the
little rolls of powder went popping
nj a great rate. OF course the spaniel
dropped them, but he remained in the
middle of the pack, jumping at the
ones that blew up into the air until
the entire pack had gone off. Then,
Ffter picking up one or two of the eX-
ploded crackers. he returned to his
master ard landed them at his feet.
The man petted the dog awhile and
then looked TO see If he had been in
jured. and found that his beautiful
coat Of curly brown hair had been so
much slnged that 1t would be neces-
sary to have it clipped. The dog was
always held high as a retriever in the
estimation of his owner and those who
knew him, but his stock has risen100
per cent. now and no amount of money
could buy him.

PATRIOTISM AT WEDDINGS.
Now l. the Time when Invited Guests
Can show Their Love of Country
In Their gifts.

With the advent of the Spanish war
patriotic weddings came into vogue.
Likewise patriotic presents were also
considered stylish. No bride is
thoroughly in the fashion these days
SAYS the Chicago Chronicle, unless
large proportion Of the gifts that come
TO her have reference in their design
and colors to the war and the United
States. Favorite wedding presents OF
this sort are flag picture frames, which
may be found in great variety. These
have flags painted on background of
white enamel, or the frames them
selves are made Of flags of silk draped
ON n foundation of wood and covered
with glass. Wedding gift novelties
such rs these are intending and they
are the rage of the hour TO send TO
coming bride. There has been already
az least one patriotic wedding of i'm
portance. At this the star gift was a
pin that was said to have cost $500. II
had three stones-a ruby, turquoise
and q diamond-as close TO a design of
red. white and blue as can be produced
in Jewels When made this ring was
unique but the design has since been
widely copied Another present that
came to this bride of the patriotic we'd
ding was a dinner set of white china.

A QUEER HABIT.
IL L. Contracted by Cleveland Man
While Trying Ia Learn

A Cleveland man has set about learn
Ing the use Of the typewriter, reports
the Plain Dealer. Up TO the present
tire he has had somebody TO do his
typewriting for him, but now he wants
20 know how to run II all by himself.
lie admits that he isn't an apt scholar.
Il comes slowly. The letters are hard
to find, and the spacing is so easily
forgotten. But there is one thing that
amuses him. lie is learning TO spell,
and learning in the same way he did
when a tow-headed boy in the early
COS. OF course he could spell when he
tackled the typewriter, but not in the
same way. Now he distinctly emu
merates each letter. and does it, too,
with the greatest care. It is a funny
thing, but he finds himself spelling
out the words in the newspaper, and
his wife says he spells them In his
sleep.
The other day the minister met him
end asked him how he was.
every WE'LL" he gravely spelled
cut, and when the pastor looked
amazed he realized what he had done
and hastily explained the cause Of the
popularity. And the minister pro-
fessed to be greatly interested and
wanted TO know all about it, and the
speller Is now greatly worried for fear
the parson will write a special paper
on II for some magazine.
When the minister finally left him
he shook hands and said; "Good-by."
"G-o-o-d," began the speller, and
then recollccted himself and hastily
added "by."
He hopes in time to wear out this
popularity, and when he increases his
speed on the typewriter he no doubt
will.

CELESTIALS EAT BURDOCK.
Many of the Chinese and Japanese
Cultivate the Plant for Home
Consumption.

What is even regarded as a vile weed
can, with a little stretch of magma
ton be turned into an ornamental
plant or delicious vegetable, says Nee
hans Monthly. This is especially the
case with the common burdock, lappa
major. Schoolboys all know it from
gathering the burrs and COMPRISING
them into a ball. they being held to-
gether by the curved points Of the
floral invOucre. This is all they know
about it. 1t Is difficult tosee anything
more to be despised in the urdock
leaf than in the leaf of the rhubarb. 1t
appears that it is largely used in China
for food. But II Is stated that, if the
stalks be cut down before the flowers
expand and then be boiled, the taste is
relished equally with asparagus. The
leaves, when young, are boiled and
eaten as we eat spinach. In Japan 1t
Is in universal use. Thousands of acres
are devoted to its culture. But in this
case the root is the object. 1t requires
deep soil to get the roots to the best
advantage. The common name in
China Is gobbo-a name, however.
