She Wanted an Epitaph.

She came in from the country a
few days ago and ordered head
stone for the grave of her departed
husband. The marble-cutter was to
have it all ready yesterday, when she
was to come in again with the IN
scnption, have the letters carved on
and take the stone away.
She was on time, but she wore an
anxious, troubled look, having failed
to write up such notice as she
thought the stone ought to bear.
Il want suthin that'll do my poor
dead Homer justiss, she explained to
the marble-cutter. Il think l ought
to have one or two verses Of poetry,
and then a line or two at the bottom
suthin ike Meet me on the other
shore, you know.
The cutter said he thought he could
get up something, and she entered the
office and he took out twenty-three
sheets of foolscap and three penholders
and set to work, while she held her
breath for fear of disturbing his
thoughts. He ground away for awhile,
scratched out and wrote in, and finally
said he'd got the neatest thing that
ever went upon white marble. 1t

HOMER CLINK,
who died
October Is, 1897,

Aged Il years, 7 months, q days.
He was the kindest sort Of man,
He was a good prOyider
And when friend asked him TO drink
He always called for cider.
His wife she had noble heart,
And though she may remarry,
Whene'er she thinks Of Homer Clink
Her heart a sigh will carry.
That's good-that just hits me =
exclaimed the widow, tears coming to
her eyes. 1--WE got to do some trad

the inscription on handsome.like, and
I shan't mind two dollars extra"
About noon her one-horse wagon
backed up to the dealers, and as the
stone was loaded up the widows face
wore a quiet smile Of satisfaction.

as he finished reading the inscription.

widow.

we'd better tinker up that verse a
little. And besides, You didn't get
anything on the bottom.
She went out and rambled among
the tombstones, while the cutter
ground away again, and just as she
had become interested in q dog fight
he called her in and read the new IN
scription. The first part was as be-
fore, but his poetry read
NV husband is dead,
Nv poor Homer Clink,
And in the cold ground they have laid
him;
He was always home nights,
Never got into fights,
But death came along and betrayed
him
I,bal meet him ON the other shore where all is love
ly and where sickness never comes.
There, hows that" inquired the
poet, a bland smile covering his face.
"Seems to me as if that went right to
the heart.
The woman took the paper, read the
notice over four or FIVE times, and fl
nally said
q don't want to seem partlckler
about this, and I know I'm maxim a
good deal Of trouble. That would do
for most anyone else-it's the real
poetry, but I'd like suthin kinder DIFF
ferent, somehow. He was noble
man. lie never gave me a cross word
in his life-not one. He'd be out Of

never got up till I heard him grinding
the coffee. lie was a good proyider,
he was. He never bought any dam
aged goods because he could get EN-
cheap, and he never shimped me on
sugar and tea, as some folks do. !

him !"
She sobbed away for awhile, and
then Frightened up and said
"Of course III meet him in heaven.
It's all right. As l told you, | may
never marry again, though can't tell
what III be driven to. Just try once
more.
She sat down with an old almanac
and the cutter resumed his pen. lie

over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo IS known as bird
that never builds a nest for itself, but
takes advantage Of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There Is a good deal Of the cuckoo

making a success Of their own, seek 10

else has made with much effort and
labor. Il Is 50 with those limitations Of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are withoucaqualified
medical ability or experience. And the
CRY raised in some cases Of woman,
woman, woman write TO woman makes
the resemblance 20 the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, ard
hone therefore competent 10 give nedi-
cal advice Il Is certain that there IS no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience "a IS possessed by

of diseases peculiar 10 women. In that

women, ninety-eight per cent. Of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick

TAKe YOUR MEDICINE
when the Mix Is Spilled There Is
No Use In RepiniEg.

The Tucson GrayS, a now we'll adver-
tised base ball team, went to Ell Paso,
Texas, a short time ago and sne;lr,ed
themselves all over with glory. They
came home and naturally did a good
deal of Dragging. That was pardon
able under the circumstances, even
laudable. Later the Los Angeles base
ball enthusiasts sent a good team down
from the coast city. They suffered de-
feat and the Grays did some more
Dragging, which was also justifiabia.
This aroused the Pass City ball twirI-
ers, who resolved to win back it pos
sible a portion OF their lost ,,lOry, and
they went to work to reorganize and
got an aggregation together that would
be worthy of betting money on. They
searched all over the southwest, picked
up their men, strengthened the team
and again challenged the Tucson boys.
The first game was played in Tucson
on Friday, and the Ell Paso team cap
tured the honors II TO 3. That was all
right and they were entitled to what
ever comfort there was in it, But the
Tucson press in it's defense of the home
team referred rather unemployment
lily to the visitors as supposed . rep
came from everywhere. This was
hardly a fair spirit to show when 1t is
a we'll established custom for ball
teams to get good players wherever
they can and with whatever club they
sign that organization is to get tue
credit, and it is a credit for any city to
be enterprising enough to get a good
team even if it has to be imported and
he
recognized this when they signed up
some of the best players Phoenix had
and pitted them against Los Angeles
1t is deplorable, of course, that Tucson
should have lost the first game. but it
was not to be supposed that Ell Paso
was coming over to this country with
team that had already proved their
inability to face the Arizona boys
Hence the Tucson papers placed them
selves in the light of being laughed at
when they murmured and tried TO
make excuse for their defeat.
The Grays, however, it would appear
from results, did not murnur, but only
renewed their efforts and on Saturday
administered defeat to the visitors to
the tune of 4 to 1, and report says 1t
was an interesting game The third
game was played yesterday, but the
result has not been received here az
yet.
The Ell Paso team will arrive here
this morning to play a series of Three
games with the Phoenix team. The
capital city bids them welcome and Will
root for the home boys as hard as 1t
knows how, but if they go down before
the enemy they will go with flying
colors, and unless something disrep-
utabIe occurs on the part of the visit
ors the winners will be accorded the
palm of victory and that, too, in
spirit of fairness and Hberality.
