Mistaken.

The sun shone richly down through
the stained windows Of the great
church, touching the rows of appraised,
listening faces with soft, bright beauty.

raised and. fixed upon the preacher,
while her whole sweet face seemed
stirred with deep emotion.
Almost .reverently the man watched
her, as he might have watched the
ecstasy of some sweet saint, and as the
service ended he fingered, passionately
longing, hoping, that when she came
he might speak to her. At last she
came, and, throwing all convention
aside, he murmured, leaning near her:

me so to-day. Your face during the

To fieshly redemption
From pain as a humbug, and graves as

To stifie contagiOn,
And put sharp stop to these fast-grow-
ing germs;
Are you a physician
Who fears competition,
And dareS not prescribe save in Sanhe-
drin terms? .
Or is here a malady,
For which you've no remedy,
A sickness that's killing it's thousands and
more?
Can't you curb all this jostling,
This wrangling and hustling,
This wrestling. with isms that number
fourscore?
Fie, Dame Christian Science!
We place no reliance.
On all your high-sounding stock phrases
and can't
For this very disease is,
The appendicitis
The poison and rot of ineffable rant!
What's the logical sequence,

Except to initiate us with glamour and

And must we believe that the doll stuffed

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.


IF you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state Of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific rs
s. s.. goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.

The last man who used this phone -

a short, little fellow in a deuce of a

peated his request five times, getting

What the Texas Man Uses.

A certain farmer in Texas not hun
dred miles from Greenville sat down
with his family to breakfast. They sat
in chairs made in Indiana, the table
was made in st. Louis, the dishes were
made in New York, the knives, forks
and spoons were imported from Eng
land; the biscuits were made of flour
from Kansas, shortened with lard from
Missouri cooked on a, stove made in
Chicago, and his coffee was served
with sugar from Louisiana. When
breakfast was over he drove to town
in wagon made in Ohio while his son
went out with $40 gun made in
Pennsylvania and an imported $40 dog
to kill 5-cent birds for dinner His
daughter went riding on a $75 bicycle
made in Massachusetts. His wife swept
the floor with a broom from Cincinnati,
took up the dust in a pan made in Yer
mont with brush made in Rhode ISL
and. The farmer bought a pillow made
in Illinois, a cultivator made in Michi-
gan, hoes and rakes from Indiana, and
a reaper made in Chicago. He took
these home and set them out on a va
cant lot, exposed to the rain and sun
shine, where they We're ruined in one
year. That farmer is always complain
ing of hard times.-Greenville (Tex)

OuSly. We are doing everything HUH
the thoughtful, difficult standpoint, and
while we do not in the least decry the
value of this effort, we do feel that 1t
would be we'll to 'frivop occasionally,
so we have formed this little circle. We
are to meet once every month in alpha
betical order at the home of a member.
Even the date of the monthly meeting
is not fixed, but rests with the hostess.
The simplest sort of luncheon, consist
ing of three courses only, and simple
courses at that, is provided, and each
member is compelled to tell funny
story, or relate a funny experience, or
sing funny song if she has the talent,
or contribute in some way to the gayety
of the occasion. The circle is intended
as a protest not only against the seri-
BUSINESS of women, but against the ex-
travag CANT hospitality Of the time, which
is eliminating. easy social intercourse.
Nowadays to offer any sort of hospital
ity to ones friends means caterers, IA
vors, prizes, and usually professional
entertainers That, we consider, makes
hospitality too serious, and kills neigh
borliness in the true sense Of the term.
We are not starting any crusade, how
ever, or doing anything in the world
except amusing ourselves.

A heavy mist hung over the valley, ana
the smoke of the American guns made
a veil so thick that the artillerists
could not see their targets clearly. They
fired when possible at the Spanish
trenches and batteries. The Spanish
answered, and dropped some shots in
the American lines. During this affair
the opposing batteries were about l,5OO

When Miles arrived, Shafter an

Toral's offer to surrender his entire
corps, including outlying troops, as

That very day the navy had declined
to enter the harbor, and Lawton re-
ported that Garcia's Cubans were OF no

invading army should be doubled IN

the gap on the west, and with the help
of a few Cubans extended the line to
the margin of the bay. Then Santiago
