WoMAN'S MODEL VILLAGE.
small Maryland Town which Work
OF the Fair Sex Has Rendered
Beautiful.

oamden, village in Maryland, takes
on pardonable pride in the activities of
It's women's organizations. The pop
nlation is about $500. Public improve
ments, philanthropies of various kinds
and patriotic movements have been car
ried on for number of years. until to-
hay the village is model in beauty.
puDlc spirit and freedom from yexed
questions, says an eastern exchange.
The united organizations about three
years ago undertook TO improve For
est park, the wooded retreat to which
all flock in the warm weather. A
broad avenue was laid out and i'm
proved, running the entire length. A
rustic pavilion, adapted admirably to
lis surroundings, was built and liber-
ally equipped with benches and tables.
Next an artistic band stand was built,
where now the village band may be
seen and better heard than formerly.
In 1890 village library was organized
by Mrs. w. j. Frisbe. Forty ladies
pledged themselves to pay 81 a year as
a membership fee, and the first year.
ly fees then subscribed started the
movement. To-day there is a circulat-
ing library of over 2.100 volumes in the
village. managed and maintained by
the women, and the sum of 81 ,7OG is in
bank as nucleus for building fund.
In addition to this the club women gave
further stimulus to the intellectual
life OF the village by providing each
winter a course of lectures on topics OF
interest, delivered by well-known au.
thorities.

The End of the World in 1914.

A famous scientist predicts that the
world will come to an end il 1914, bas-
ing his calculations on the revelations
of the Bible. IF this is SO, it is we'll for
us to get what pleasure we can out of
the few years that remain for us to
live. One of the surest ways to enjoy
life is the possession of good health,
and a well regulated stomach. Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters will enable
anyone to obtain this. 1t is the great
est medicine for the cure of ills that
arise from a bad stomach. 1t cures
dyspepsia, constipation fever and ague,
malaria, rheumatism and insomnia.
No other medicine can show record
equal to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the standard medicine of the American
people for over fifty years.

where have all the knickerbock-
ers gomez" asked a wheelman the
other day, reports the Philadelphia
Inquirer. I'VE used to meet them
in the Office buildings, on the streets
and avenues, and, in fact, it seemed
at one time as If they were going
to push the regulation trousers off
the face of the earth" ut is a case
of learning sense" replied his com
panion. "A great proportion of those
who bought a wheel did so with the
idea that the amount which they
would save on their car fare
would soon reimburse them for
their expenditure, leaving the
wheel on their hands as a cost
less item. They at last found
the error in their calculations, how
ever, for unless the firms by whom
they were employed had sufficiently
large quarters TO store the wheels and
an abundance of good nature to al
low the storage privilege being taken
advantage of, they had to pay some
wheel dealer or bootblack to tend
them during business hours, or the
money which they had to spend over
some bar in order to keep themselves
in the proprietor's good graces and
their wheel in his back hall more
than offset what they would have
paid had they ridden downtown COM
fortably in the cars, running no
chances of being late through deten-
tion encountered through no fault OF
their own"

Betting on Candidates.
The Carson Appeak remarks:

A man of half grain of political
sense avoids betting on his friends in a
close fight. Every time you get man
to bet against your candidate you Sc
cure vote against him that nothing
can change. It also secures several
more votes, for the man you bet with
is apt to have friends who will help
him win his bet. If one man make,
say ten bets he merely multiplies the
odds against his candidate. He has no
more of his own friends who will help
him win than after he made the first
bet, but he has multiplied the opposi-
ton by ten. Many a man has been
completely showed under on election
day by the acts of inconsiderate friends.

Modern Heroines.

the story books would have the public
believe. Scarcely a metropolitan news
paper is printed which somewhere does
not contain the doings of heroine.
young, middle aged or old But unlike
the heroines of the story books, the
real heroine may be as homely as gin
ger cake and not nearly as piquant. In
string of emergencies chronicled in
the daily papers during ten days the
reader will be able to class the heroism
of women.
Nora O'Neill, daughter of small
farmer near Aspen, Colo, saved Rio
Grande passenger train from destruc-
tion after the most stilted convention
atty. The train was coming thunder
ing down the mountain when Nora
saw in the dusk big bowlder lying
between the rails. She dashed some
kerosene over bunch of kindling
wood, laid it on the rock, and set fire
to it. The engineer saw the signal and
stopped the train.
Mrs. Kleintop of Stroudsburg, Pa,
went to a woodbox and was piling
sticks on her arm, when a pilot snake
nearly five feet long began to coil
around her arm, which was bare above
the elbow. Without moving muscle
or raising her voice Mrs. Kleintop
called her husbands attention to the
snake. He, with a corn knife, severed
it's head from the body. Then, woman
like, Mrs. Kleintop tainted.
Benjamin Arkwright, farmer near
Muskegon, Mich, was attacked by a
vicious bull. He defended himself
with pitchfork, bat was finally tossed
in the air. Still keeping the animal at
a distance with the fork, he shouted to
his wife for help. Mrs. Arkwright
seized a shotgun, and under her hus-
bands directions fired charge of
birdshot into the animals flank. This
routed the beast. The man suffered a
dislocated shoulder and was badly cut
and bruised.
Nellie Bullock, l3-year-old daughter
of George b. Bullock, farmer, in Spen-
Ger County, Ind, sat playing an organ
In the parlor when she heard screams
from a brother of and sister of 5,
coming from the front porch. She ran
out and was confronted by an immense
wolf The child had no weapon, but
she sprang at the creature and seized
it by the throat, hanging on with such
grim persistency that the animal final
ly broke away and fed, and Nellie was
not injured.
A Massachusetts grandmother weigh
ing 200 pounds climbed fifteen feet
down well and rescued a neighbours
child, who had tumbled into three feet
of water at the bottom. Mrs. Philip
Turner of Newton Center did this.
She saw the child fail in and no other
help was near. She seized ladder
and went down it, though the well was
only two and one-half feet in diameter.
Mrs. @. w. Hewitt, alone and friend
less in Alaska, built a raft and fioated
for $50 miles down the icy current of
the Koyukuk river on her road back to
the civilization of San Francisco. Her
food was from the body of moose
which she shot near the rivers edge
and tumbled aboard the float.
Miss Darda Polyot of South Brewer,
Me-, was offered S. if she would go up
a spidery iron ladder l26 feet to the
top of new chimney. She put on
short skirts and went up like mon
key. She got the s. and the cheers of
all the men in town-and some OF the
women.

THE VISIT.

II would not tack my own mother by
surprise said a lady, talking of a visit
to her old home which she was about
to make. "One can never tell in what
circumstances a family may be placed,
nor how much embarrassment may be
caused by an unforeseen Eruption of
guests. A few lines beforehand, or at
least a telegram, should be sent to pre-
pare the way for an arriving guest, so
that she may be assured of her welcome"
To this may eb added the very courteous
suggestion that visits ought not to be
indefinite. When sending an invitation,
or when, as is often done when kinsfolk
and intimate friends are making plans,
asikn gfor one let the precise time of
the intended stay be indicated. This
clears the track for other engagements,
and leaves a margin, if desirable, for a
p~rolongation of the visits term. Sur
prises may find one member of the fam
lily down with a fever, another EMBARK
in gfor Europe, and another plunged in
a whirlpool of work which can not be
given up for play, however attractive the
latter may be.-Collier's Weekly.

VICTOR EMMANUEL,s sANGFRo1D.

An anecdote has bene published prov
ing King Victor Emmanuel's sangfroid
when quite a youth. In 1887 experiments
were being made at the fort Of Monte
Mario, Rome, on some cases of dynamite
rendered inert for transportation. They
were tried by firing bullets at them from
a distance of five yards. The then Prince
Of Naples was watching the proceedings
with great interest, standing close to the
men who fired. All at once n of the
cases when struck exploded and the frag-
ments flew over the heads Of those pres
emit. 1t seemed that no one was hurt.
The young prince had moi moved, but
was seen to draw his mantle, which had
been hanging loose closely about him.
He ordered the experiments to be con-
tinued. When all was over it was again
noticed that the prince in walking left
traces of blood on the ground, and 1t
turned out that he a been struck by a
fragment, though not severely, and that
he had drawn his mantle about him to
hide that he was bleeding. He only al
lowed his wound to be examined n
dressed AFTER he reached the Quirinaa.

the president. I was admitted with
about $50 others. It was Lincoln's habit
occasionally to admit a great lot of peo-
pie at the same time and hear each
individuals case with all the others lis
tening. I took a seat to one side, as I
wanted to see him and hear him as he
tried those cases. I shall never forget
the simple and great man as he sat lis
TENN gto the troubles Of all kinds that
were put before him.. He seemed to og
to the bottom of every case at once and
to igve simple justice all the time. The
last one of the crowd was a girl who
was deaf and dumb. All she wanted was
to see the president. Lincoln sat there
for almost half an hour n wrote an
swers on the girls tablet and talked
with her in that way.
Finally my TIM came, and lincoln
turned and saw me sitting to one side.
Ihad never met him but the one time
some years before in Columbus. but he
knew me at once and said: Have you
been here all this time? Why didn't you
let me now it?' And then he went on to
