MUNYON'S
RHEUMATISM

one station 1t doesn't stop until 1t reaches
the next one. I rode on Il train from
London 10 Edinburgh that made an aver
age OF seventy-fiye miles an hour.
The baggage feature of the English
railroad Is one of the most cumbersome and
announcement things imaginable.
AT Charing Cross station, for instance,
you have to push through crowd of cab
men and others to the baggage van OF your
train. Here there may be a hundred peo-
pie crowding and quarreling. You must
pick out your own baggage and there Is
no protection against some one else pick
ing out your baggage. After your stun Is
set out on the platform you have TO get
cabman and help him pile 1t up on top
You must keep tab on your baggage at
every turn or you will lose IT. There were
six In our party and you can imagine what
my work as business manager meant.

FATAL AGE OF 81.
Some Noted Men of History Who Have
Passed Away on Reaching
That Point.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The age of 81 is a particularly fatal age.
An examination of the records of the Unit
ed States government shows that more peO-
pie die at that age than any other after at
tanning their majority 1t also ascertained
that more misfortunes overtake persons at
that age than at any other in their lives
and that few fortunate events befaIl hem.
An examination OF history develops the
same thing. At the age OF 81 a great sor-
row befeII Aristotle the death of Plato
his friend and teacher. with whom he had
studied for nearly twenty years. This sOr-
row plainly showed its effects upon his
future life and to II may be attributed the
sad tone of his later writings
1t was at the age OF 81 that Lord Byron
died of fever at Greece. AS Lord Beacons-
field says. he was greater as a man than
writer, and his loss to the world was
a great blow 10 it.
Raffaelle. the glory of Italian art. died
at b He fell sick q week before his birth
day 6 Coed Friday In him the world lost
In music. like art and poetry. England
lost her greatest composer at the age of
81. Purcell, the most distinguished must
clan Britain produced. died within few
days after attaining his 9th year The re-
gard with which he was held in England
placed him on a par with Milton iii epic
poetry. with Shakespeare on the stage.
Locke in metaphysics, and Sir Isaac New
ton in philosophy and mathematics.
II was at the age OF 81, too. that England
lost Il military genius that she regarded as
of the highest rank and promise. Prince
Henry Battenberg died of fever in Ashan-
tee IN that year of his life.
PASCAL too. died at q. but why seek
more Illustrations? These are sufficient to
Illustrate the fatality of the age among
seniuses. Where death failed misfortune
often befell
So the age of 81 may be regarded as the
fatal age of all those after Il man passes

l.. Hardy has brought against her hus-

Five years ago Hardy was candidate

We're married in Baltimore and rode dowH
together to the station TO take the train
for Washington.
When they alighted, according to her
statement, Hardy told her that they must
part. To her astonished demand for an
explanation he replied that he did not
want a wife, but that he could not bear
the thought of her marrying anyone else
He had therefore proposed marriage to
her with a view to keeping the other as
pirants from winning the prize.
He tried to make her see the advantages
of this scheme. but she would not. and
finally he lost patience and left her to puz-
zie II out as best she could.
He never returned.
Hardys scheme for freezing out the 9TH
er candidates was successful for five years
for Mrs. Hardy had to wait before she
could sue for absolute divorce on the
ground of desertiOn.
