Very interesting young lady. Very inter-

too sensitive, however, and apparently
proof against the remedies prescribed in the

gagement. She evaded my questions for
some time, but at last admitted that she
lay awake thinking how much she loved
and adored her prospective husband. No
amount of win power at her command could
put aside her blissful meditations to make
way for sleep, and my prescriptions were
equally impotent. At last the case became

Senator Butler, of North Carolina,
has presented in the United States
senate a petition from SIS ex-confeder-
ates of Muscogee county, asking him
not to abandon his bill for pensioning
eX-confederate soldiers. They say
that they are citizens of the United
States, and while they participated on
the confederate side of the war be-
tween the states, this war was not a
rebellion. They refer to President
McKinley's recent expressions fa~ora-
BILE to the care of the southern dead as
the expressions of true patriot"
and conclude: ave, therefore, hope
that you will press your bill, and that
congress will pass the same, and by so
doing show to the world that we are a
reunited people. We desire this, not
as mendicants for pension, but in re-
Spouse to the grand and patriotic SEN
timents of our president, and as voic.
ing the sentiments of every true pa
triot who loves his country and re-
spects the valor of the dead confeder-
ate soldiers"

A HUSTLING HOST.
He Had n Little scheme for Making
His Guests Pay for Their
Dinners,

1t was an apparently innocent little din
ner invitation which drew a number of
California street heavyweights to the
handsome home of a capitalist on Pacific
avenue, who is no longer popular in the
Pacific Union club. After the dinner,
which was deliberately planned, perfectly
served and thoroughly appreciated, the
host led the way to the billiard room, where
he produced for the inspection of his friends
a new roulette wheel which he had just pur-
chased.
After it had been examined and duly adj.
mired monsieur proposed that his friends
tempt fortune with it, announcing that he
would be banker, and smilingly invited
them to break him" The guests scarcely
expected this sort of diversion, but they
hardly could decline the entertainment"
which had been provided for them. Hav-
ing carelessly undertaken to call the turn
on the black or the red, they expected to
lose trife to their host, but they did not
anticipate any such financial catastrophe
as overlook each of the players.
The bank won steadily. Soon all the
player guests were broke" but the host
offered, in an off-hand way, to stake one
and all, guarding against loss of the
frequent loans, however, by taking the
checks of his friends. For the purpose, with
admirable forethought, he had provided
himself with blank checks on every bank in
town.
There was no escape for his victims. They
were all thoroughly trapped and well
scorched before they were released. The
guests caught the first car home in the morn
ing, the urbane host, with unparalleled gen.
erosity, presenting each guest with nickel
to pay his fare.-San Francisco Newsletter.

ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN.
Some Nuggets from Miss America +"

Small talk is large question. As the
loose change of vocal currency, it is an
indispensable commodity. As for
cashing an intellectual check, good as
your credit may be, it is out of the
question altogether.
There is no form of hat yet devised
by human ingenuity that will not
tempt forgiveness when it is on the
right woman. The trouble is that in
nine cases out of ten it is on the wrong
one.
How few men can start new CONVEX
sation every 90 seconds with anything
like the success that attends a woma n s
efforts to do the same thing? Woman
can riddle a man with small shot be-
fore he can roll up his heavy guns.
Charles Dudley Warner says that
"some women are interesting for five
minutes, some for ten, some for an
hour; some are not exhausted in a
whole day; and some tand this shows

perennially entertaining, even in the
presence of masculine stupidity"

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. p1NKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is a very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than 1
have had for the past ten years. l
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid you"

pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

in big, deep box on a shelf near him,
'where they are. handy he said. But the
errand boy was looking for an opportunity
to make himself invaluable, so at noon, while
he was Gin charge" of the works, he drove
small nails into the partition in such man
ner that each rubber stamp could be hung
separately on two nails. An impression of
the stamp was then made upon small slip
of paper, and this slip was pasted above each
stamp. The appreciation of the shipping
