For IN Editsr to Recommend Patent Msdi-

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard. N. @.
It may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the masket, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not be-
Heve in depending implicitly on any
medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of
an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by Jones & Gibson,

EIOpers Mt Barge Office

VI runaways there are scores every
year at the barge office 1t seems that
whenever married man has deserted
his wife and children for a comely
young girl, or a married woman has
1orsaken an elderly husband for a
younger lover, they make straight
away for New York, as if it were the
universal haven of refuge. In most
cases the officials of the barge office
manage to get the exact truth; for.
having no marriage papers, "husband''
and wife" are separately questioned
as to the time and the place the cere-
mony was solemnized. As both are
lying, their stories frequently do not
agree. 1t is usually the man who is
first to confess to the runaway. This
is because the woman has everything
to lose and the man everything to
gain, for he can desert her at will.
even as he deserted wife and children
abroad, and with even less compunc-
ton of conscience. The woman. and
sometimes the man, suffer deporta-
ton. If the latter has money he is
allowed to remain, since there is no
law to prevent him, unless, of course.
the wife across the water has caused
her husbands arrest through the for
eign consul here. There is usually a
property as well as a personal crime
in these runaway events.-Ainslee's

MRS. BLENKlNSOP
and the INDIANS"

DLENKINSOP'S troubles began
ID early in his married life-in fact,
they began some little time before he
was married, but he knew that he was
TO blame for it himself, and he is hop
ing that his wife thoroughly under
stands by this time how he has been
maligned. He knows that he deserves
her most implicit trust and conf
dence. He is almost assured that she
knows it, too, but he wishes that she
would not watch him so narrowly
whenever he opens letter and that
she would not be so seriously playful
when she searches his pockets.
Mrs. Blenkinsop believes everything
that her husband tells her. She would
believe in him and cling to him
though all the world were against
him, as she has told herself thou
sand times. 1t is not at all likely
that she would pay any attention to
what lot of mischievous persons said
when her husband, her own husband,
assured her that their assertions were
false. And yet! Suppose it was true
and there had been such a girl! She
could not help loving Dick. Dick
would make any girl love him. And
he must have encouraged her a little
perhaps a great deal. How l hate
her!" thought the little woman. "If
only part of what that horrid Mr..
Waubeek said was true, then how
faithless, how perjured Dick must be!
Yet that must have been long before
j knew him, so what does it matter,
after all?'
And at this stage of her reflections,
as the thing is not OF the least con-
sequence, and a matter of entire in
difference to her, Mrs Blenkinsop
usually goes to her room for a little
cry. But she is really getting over
it to a great extent now.
1t was the result of Waubeek's mar
rage. Waubeek, Todd and Sperry
and Blenkinsop all toiled together in
the same Office. and they were very
chummy, proving around town in
company after Office hours, wheeling,
boating and boarding inseparably
But after series of mysterious alb
sences Waubeek came to the office one
morning married man.
Blenkinsops nature is a sportive
one. He is given to what is called
"joshing SO much now as he
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-10-11

used to be, however. He perceived in
Waubeeks marriage the opportunity
of lifetime for airy badinage, and he
made the most of it. even to the eX-
tent of purchasing nursing bottles
and teething rings and leaving them
conspicuously on Waubeek's desk
Waubeek was a sensitive sort of a
chap, and he used to show that these
little attentions disturbed his equa-
nimity. He said nothing, however;
that is, he said nothing aloud, but he
vowed revenge and bided his time.
Then Blenkinsop began to absent
himself from the foregatherings of
the faithful remnant and became Sc
rious and thoughtful at unreasonable
times, as well as noticeably particu-
lar in the matter of cravats. Todd
discovered him in the parlor once
copying something out of volume of
Elegant Extracts of Verse; which
had not been taken from the center
table except for busting purposes
within the memory of the oldest
boarder. He told Sperry about it and
the two decided that Blenkinsop had
a girl and taxed him with it.
Blenkinsop not only admitted it, but
gloried in it. Apparently he could
see nothing ridiculous in the circum-
stance, for when Todd tried to prod
him with some of the choice witt
cisms that had been used on Waubeek
the lover looked at them as if he won
dered at the depth of their imbecility,
and his evidently sincere contempt
checked them for time.
The girl went back to her western
home, but that did not make Blenkin-
sop any more companionable. He was
forever taking from his left breast
pocket bulky letters in square envel-
opes and reading them-even in office
hours. Still, Waubeck said nothing.
One day Blenkinsop put in an ap-
pearance with a new crocodile yalise
a dress-suit case and a new suit of
clothes and told them that he was go
ing to Denver and would be gone for
two weeks.
Going to get married?' asked
Todd.
Wouluh WONDER, replied Blen-
kinsop. 81 don't want to make anv
rash assertions, but that's the inten-
ton"
Before Sperry could say anything
Waubeek grasped the bridegroom's
hand and shook it theoretically. 81
congratulate you sincerely, my dear
boy" he said. 81 wish you every hap
piness. May the pathway of your
life be strewed with thornless roses.

AN INDIANA ROMANCE.
Fifty Years Ago Phoebe Meeks Left
Her Sweetheart and Has Ever
Since Been a Recluse.

If Phoebe Meeks should open her
door and look out upon the town of
Brookville, Ind, she would not recog-
nize it. Forty-six years have wrought
many changes, and it has been that
long since Phoebe Meeks retired to her
home and closed the doors behind her.
Fifty-six years ago she was a fresh
and blooming girl; now she is an old
woman and dying. Still the mystery
of her long seclusion is unsolved.
There have been well to do Meekses
ever since the town of Brookville was
founded. In 1885 Phoebe Meeks was
the belle of the village. Her father
owned much rich land, and Phoebe's
gardens about her home were the talk
of everyone. In it the merriest of gar
den parties were held, and Phoebe
was most charming hostess.
Hadley johnson had neither money
nor lands, nor family tradition; yet
he sought the dainty Phoebe, and de-
clared his love for her. Phoebe wore
sparkling ring on her finger, and
after the engagement was announced
there was one round of pleasure.
One day there was Sunday school
picnic and all of Brookville went.
When the party returned home Had
ley johnson and Phoebe Meeks walked
together in advance of the other
strollers, and found a seat in a wood
ed spot to rest Suddenly Phoebe left
the side of her lover and presently a
little white figure was seen fitting
down the road. This was the last time
that Phoebe Meeks was seen by the
villagers.
For four years Hadley Johnson
stayed in Brookville, and every day
sent a pleading message to his sweet
heart to see him, but she would not
receive him. Then the disappointed
young man went away.
The Meeks home that had been the
scene of so much gayety began to be
regarded by the villagers in the light
of a tomb. Travellers journeyed to the
place to see where the pretty young
girl had shut herself up.
Some years after Phoebe's retire
ment the family fortunes became SO

depleted that it was necessary for the
to the income. The spacious library
was opened as millinery shop, and
many customers went to it with the
hope of seeing Phoebe and learning
something of the reason for her mys-
FERROUS action. But there was no sign
of the woman except in the dainty
touch that was shown in the bonnets
of her trimming.
The news of the misfortunes of the
Meeks sisters reached Hadley Johnson,
and he went back to the old home.
Phoebe's sister met him, and well
coined him, but without glimpse of
his old sweetheart he returned to the
new home he had made for himself in
the west.

tial electors from the state of Utah at

Professors of the Brookville college
have boarded in the Meeks home, and
they have told of the remarkable in
tellect of Phoebe Meeks, who read and
studied all the deepest books she could
borrow from them. The dainty handi-
work of the strange recluse has found
its way many times to the Woman's
exchange, and when a magazine was
started in Brookville Phoebe Meeks
sent to the editors Office a beautiful
ly-kept record of all the births and
deaths that had occurred in the coun-
ty for more than half century, which
showed that she had kept posted upon
the happenings of the outside world.
