n in came a pretty. dainty little lady Of
perhaps two Or three-and-thirty. with
peach bloom complexion, and bright blue
eyes and sunny hair in rich braids.
With q scarcely disguised flash of sur

Scarcely waiting for Clare's negative the
little lady led the way into the next room,
a spacious low-windowed apartment in
which, as indeed all over the house, mon
ey had simply been used as the means to
artistic taste and comfort combined. Not
the least attractive to Clare in the har-
monious whole were the weil-filled book
case and the boudoir grand piano, whilst
through the open windows giving on to a
wide terrace she could see gardens and
the park beyond.

THE EVIDENCE OF WEIGHT.

One of the notable results of the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is a gain of flesh, evil
denced by an increase in weight. Weight is proper
toned to height, and every healthy person has a
normal weight which is in exact proportion to the
stature. When the weight falls below this normal
proportion to height it is a sign of failing health.
Insurance companies recognize this fact and they
refuse insurance whenever there is a marked disparity
between height and weight.
The reason for this refusal is based upon the fact
that when the weight falls below the normal it shows
that the body is not being adequately nourished.
The food eaten to sustain life is not being properly
digested and assimilated. And because the vital
powers of the body depend upon the assimilation of
the nutriment extracted from food, it follows that
whenever there is a failure in digestion and assimi-
lation, there is also a loss of vital force. For these
reasons a cure of diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition is marked by a gain in
weight.

The Thrilling Grafton of Colonel

Paradise hall was packed like a sar-
dine box as Colonel Paradise Thomp-
son made his appearance on the plat
form to deliver an Grafton that had
been advertised all the week as IAN
epicurean fight of a modern Cicero"
Brother Gardner introduced the Colonel
as from Florida and explained that
during the winter he was head waiter
at one of the big hotels. In summer,
when his hotel was closed, he lent his
oratory to the services Of his country
and upon this occasion had been prom
ised SO in cash and a linen buster. The
colonel sized up as a tall, thin, anxious
looking man, with an extra long neck
and a stately bow, and the audience
was requested in advance not to break
any lamps or smash any windows in
giving expression to emotion. After
bowling right and left and placing his
ancient plug hat on the floor at his feet
the colonel wiped his brow on an Amer
ican flag and suddenly began;
Citizens of de United States, why
dis turmoil? Why dis excitement?
Why dis gatherin of men on de street
co'ners to talk wild bated breff an call
