The Patient Ms

There was a man who never kicked.
A sorrowing life he led.
He regularly got gold-bricked
And wished that he were dead.
When e'er sinner sought success
In some nefarious plan,
He'd always manage to oppress
This pious. patient man.
He loved his neighbor as himself,
With a devotion great.
Somehow his neighbor. careless elf,
Would not reciprocate.

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
So That the People Nay Know just
What They Are Taking

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Gfoves-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

CREDIT SHE DIDN'T SEEK.
Embarrassing Position of an Absent'
Minded Woman who Had Made
u Mistake.

A lady who keeps a summer boarding
house at the seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house oyer
and find out what must be renewed She
found numerous umbrellas left by. former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
to Boston to have them repaired, She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for
got her umbrellas, and absent-mlndediy
picked up an umbrella lying on the coun-
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started off. :,
Then the owner of the umbrella, WON,
an standing next her, seized her and said
very sharply: "You have taken my um-
breilaW OF course she apologlzed, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget
ting in her fuster her own bundle OF UNI
breflas. The next day, on her way, to Cam
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package OF umbrellas,
which had been kept for her, On the car
for Cambridge she noticed a lady eyelng her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant en-
phasis:
"You seem to have been more fortunate
to-day!"
1t was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.

Her Tip of No Avail.

A determined woman from the west WIS.,
tied Washington not leng ago for the pur-
pose of interviewing member OF the cab
called, as it happened, just at the time when
the frauds in the Cuban postal department
were made public, and the, majority of the
presidents advisers, absorbed in consider
ing the matter, had given instructions that
they were not to be disturbed.
$50 you refuse to take my card to the sec
retary?" asked the determined lady of the
messenger.
at would be against my orders, and
don't dare to- replied the messenger, po-
litely.
The visitor turned away in high dudgeon,
but happy thought occurred to her and she
retraced her steps. Here my man, she
said, insinuatingly, "here is 50 cents. Now
will you take my card in?'
"Im paid bigger salary than that to keep
your card out, madam" responded the
darky, shaking his head-N. Y. Tribune.

CHOATE AND THE BABY.
The American Amba ssadOr's Nail
Head Wit in an Address In
England.

Lately, at the opening of free library at
Acton, England, Hon. Joseph IL. Ghoate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to
baby who persisted in distracting the at.
tention of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most inconvenient moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut.. The first
Interruption occurred early in the speech.
Mr.. Choate was saying: There is spe-
cial provision for children in your library,
and think when men come to make a
choice of residence in Acton they, will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such manner as to drown the
words of the speaker. There was some dis
turbance, but Mr. Choate said: Don't be
disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows bet
ter than my Lord Bishop that out of the
mouths of babes and sucklings cometh wis
DOM" Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Choate was saying:
"There is a book with which all of you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos
sbly, the baby-are familiar" the ambassa-
dor went on; at is Ecclesiastes, and it says
that of the making of books there is no end"

with plump bag of gold, which he laid
by Riders side without further COM
ment, then started for the beach with
long, swinging strides, That took him
to the waters edge in very few mo-
ments, while the mate looked at the
bag with glistening eyes and said to
himself:
"He's got heart big as an OK, but
I'm in too deep to back out now, and I'll
need all 1 can get to keep out of his
clutches if he ever finds out the TRUTH"
The steamer sailed the following
morning, but before he left the return
ing miner saw that Rider wanted for
nothing. He gave him the benefit of
his experience in the wilderness, made
list of the necessary articles of out
fit and paid penniless unfortunate to
look after the mate and his horses until
the former was able to do it himself.
The return voyage went we'll for two
days, then the steamer broke down and
it was nearly a week before she was
able to proceed. The following night
she ran on small island, causing an
other weeks delay. It was over three
weeks before Capt. Scott reached San
Francisco and was driven to the dock
where the Seabird still lay.
Old Capt. Coffin was on deck and

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Fifteen Persons Lose Their Lives and
Seven Others Seriously Injured at
Grade Crossing

Slatington, Pa, Aug. 13.-Fifteen
persons were killed and seven others.
several of whom viii die, were serious
1y injured last night in a grade cross
ing accident three miles east of this
city by passenger train on the Lee
high & New England railroad crash
ing into an omnibus containing %
persons. All the dead and injured
were in the omnibus and but three
escaped uninjured. The accident oc-
CURED about five o'clock The omni-
bus, driven by a man named Peters,
was returning to Slatington from n
funeral the occupants had been at
tending at Cherryvale. The coach be-
lOnged to Henry Bittner, of Stating
ton, and the dead and injured were
nearly all relatives of Sophia Schoef-
fer, at whose obsequies they had been
present. The train was a special and
consisted of an engine and one car.
At the point at which the collision oc-
CURED there is a sharp curve in the
road and the omnibus came along at
a good rate of speed, the occupants
unconscious of any impending danger.
AS the bus swung around the curve
the engine and car came in sight. 1t
was too late to stop either the omni-
bus or the train and as the driver of
the former whipped up the four
horses to cross the track ahead of the
train, the latter crashed into it's mid
die. The occupants were thrown in
all directions, bruised and bleeding.
Physicians and a special train were
sent from here and the injured were
taken to South Bethlehem.

iasm. His majesty later took the

LANES MURDERER CAUGHT.
Charles Terrell ConfesseS to Killing the
Express Messenger and Robbing the
Safe on the PennsyIvania Train

Columbus, o., Aug. 13.-Charles R.
FL. Terrell, a former employee of the
Adams Express company, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon in this city
and has confessed to the killing of
Messenger Charles Lane and the rob-
berry of the way safe of the Adams
Express company on the Pennsylva-
MIA eastbound train which arrived in
this city at midnight Friday. One
thousand dollars of the money which
he had stolen was recovered. He
was to have been married Thursday
next to Miss Lillian CostIow, daugh-
ter of Patrick Costlow, an engineer on
the Pennsylvania lines. He had been
discharged from the employ of the
Adams Express company about three
months ago and had not since been
able to secure employment. He con-
fessed that the motive of the rob-
berry was to secure money, OF which
he felt in great need, on account Of
his approaching marriage. The
money recovered he had given to Miss
Costlow to keep for him, saying it
was money he had saved from his
earnings.

went into farmers watermelon
patch and ate and destroyed many
melons. A few days later the boys
wrote the farmer note telling him
they were going to visit his patch
again, and would get even more mel
ons than on the previous visit. The
farmer split the stems of some of the
melons and inserted strychnine. Two
boys died in the patch, two died on
the way home and two died after

Heavy showers were reported from

belt. At numerous places the precipi-
tation was more than an inch. The

THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.
The Eyre-Cragin Syndcate's Concession
Forfeited, Leaving the United States
independents for Negotiations.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Word comes
that the Eyre-Cragin syndicate's canal
concession was forfeited Saturday be-
cause of the non-payment of money
due. The Maritime company's conces-
sion was declared forfeited only few
days ago. This leaves the Nicaraguan
movement free to deal independently
with the United States in canal mat
tiers. The forfeiture of the Eyre-Cra-
gin concession clears up the Near
aqua canal problem to a greater de-
gree than anything else that could
happen. The objections that have
been urged in congress when it was
suggested to appropriate money for
the purpose of buying off the holders
of these concessions constituted one
of the most effective arguments
against action on the part of the
United States in undertaking canal
work
