Washington shopgirIs Kindness to an
Aged Woman Met Its Reward.
There is an old saying that virtue
is it's own reward" and there is a girl
in one Of the department stores of the
city who knows that to virtue" may
be added courtesy" and kindness"
There came to the counter where she
stands little old gentlewoman the
other day. She was tiny and shrivel-
ed and not overly we'll dressed in rusty
mourning. She bought a number of
little notions, all of the best, being
very exacting and almost querulous,
but the young clerk was more than
usually courteous and attentive in try
ing to please her customer. Once she
said, when the customer hesitated
about getting a certain article, my
grandma uses it, and the bargain
was clinched at once. When the little
old lady was through at that counter
she started to go to one near by and
wavered on her feet when she rose
from her seat. The young lady was at
her side in an instant and gave the
support Of her strong young arm for
the few steps. When the counter was
reached the lady thanked the girl in
tones tremulous with age. 81 will re-
member you," she said.
The clerk returned to her counter
and had almost forgotten the incident
when a voice at her elbow startled her,
and there was the little old lady. 81
forgot to ask your name" she said in
apology. "The young are not always
so thoughtful of old age as you have
been and wish to remember you"
The clerk gave her name and then the
customer asked if she could have the
strong arm to lean upon again to her
carriage. At this the clerks about be-
gan to look interested. They had been
chatting the girl before about her
'mash," but a woman who had her
carriage" was not to be made the sub
ject of ridicule. The young lady spoke
to the f1oorwalker and then went with
the customer to the door, where a
handsome coupe, with footman and
coachman, was waiting. MY maid
was not well this morning, and
would not let her attend me-" said the
little lady, simply, 'but l am scarcely
strong enough to go about alone.
Thank you, dear; your name is Martha
-. 1 will not forget" Nor did she.
Wednesday the little old lady sent her
maid with an invitation for the young
clerk to spend her time from Saturday
nightto Monday morning at the beauti-
full home in the suburbs of northwest

Tough Old English Statesmen.

In Macaulay's day English statesmen
were Of a harder and more robust
type than the present race Of poll
ticians. They seem to have had cast
iron nerves and appetites and diges-
lions to match. They dined off huge
beefsteak and a bottle Of port, while
their grandsons are content with outlet
and lemon squash. And yet they liv-
ed to a good old age. We hear of Lord
Brougham at the age of 20 drinking
two bottles of port at dinner, going to
bed upon half bottle Of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot teal;" and Lord Lyndhurst at
the age of 90 "supping off hot boiled
lobster and champagne"
Mr.. Kinnear, an old parliamentary
hand, tells US that he remembers see
ing "Mr. Disraeli drinking, as the pre-
Jude to a big speech, pint Of port
wine at the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed in a green coat, a buff
waistcoat and snuff colored trousers"
This seems modest potation under
the circumstances, but Mr.. Kinnear
adds that Disraeli came back and had
aDother pint later on.-Blackwoods

Garlic as Consumption Cure.

Garlic is the latest cure for consump-
ton. DR.. Giulio Cavazzani, an italian
physician, has been experimenting in
the hospitals of Venice, and is convinc-
ed that garlic is most valuable the
rapeutic agent in cases of phthisis. 1t
has long been known to sailors who
have traded to the malarial coasts of
West Africa that garlic, used in liberal
quantities, was a preventive of coast
fever. Garlic is a most powerful agent
for the cleansing of the alimentary
canal, which may account for some Of
it's medicinal virtues.
DR.. Cavazzani gave to his patients
garlic cut into small pieces and dried.
he had to administer it in fractional
doses in order to combat the distaste
which most of the patients had for the
vegetable. He treated over 200 pa
tents ,givingto them, in addition to the
garlic, the ordinary symptomatic treat
ment.
He affirms that an improvement took
place in all cases, and was especially
marked in those which were in their
first stages. The bacilli gradually
grew less until they finally disappear
ed, the cough lessened, and the local
physical signs began to disappear
There was a marked improvement in
appetite and general condition. 1t is a
little early yet to pronounce upon the
doctors discovery but he has every
faith in it, and it is attracting the at
tention of the profession.

viii Interfere Next Time.

A Lewiston man was passing through a
country district near the city one day,
when off in a field he saw a boy throwing
stones through the. glass of a deserted
house. The mans first impulse was to
shout to him to stop, but then he thought
that the boys father should have taught
him better things, and it was not his duty
TO chastise another mans children for
their wickedness. So he went home that
night and began to tell the instance at
supper table. His boy, who had been out
in the country hunting all day, began to
turn colors and finally broke out:
"Well, pa, you needn't be so round
about. You know it was me, and guess
the man who owns it knew, for l saw
him running after me down the road"
Before that evening was passed, sure
enough, the owner of the old house drove
up and demanded the pay for the glass

What suffering frequently results

Tradition says woman must suf-

There is a little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs treat
ment, and her mother should see that
she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton but no mother need hesitate to

AFTER TWENTY YEARS
WONDERFUL CURE IN A STUBBORN
CASE OF RHEUMATISM
The Evidence is Furnished by the Sec
rotary of the Board of Trade of
WeIIsburg, New York, and
Cannot be Doubted

The popular secretary of the Wells
burg, n. Y, Board of Trade is Mr.. w.
]. Dalton, and his statement to re-
porter regarding one of the most i'm
portant events of his life carries with
it the greatest weight. 1t is unusual
for a person to be afflicted from child
hood with rheumatism. but it is even
wonderful that there is a rem
edy so exactly suited to the treatment
of this stubborn disease that one hun
bred doses were sufficient to eradicate
it in a case of twenty years standing.
The proof that such a remedy is within
the reach of all rheumatic sufferers is
found in Mr.. Dalton's own words. He
says:
Il had been troubled with rheuma-
tism all my life, even when a boy. 1t
attacked me in the legs, arms and
shoulders. The pain in the latter was
particularly severe. I, of course, took
medicine for it, but did not obtain per-
manent relief. One day about three
years ago, while reading a newspaper,
saw an advertisement of DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People and
determined to give them a trial. 1 had
taken but three boxes of the pills when
the trouble, WHICH Hdu UetH L1y dLIlC7
ton from childhood, entirely disap-
peared.
About a year later I had another
attack of rheumatism. which was
brought on by working in a damp
place. I remembered we'll what DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
had done for me, so 1 Immediately pur-
chased some Strangely enough, just
three boxes again cured me, and have
been entirely free from rhumatism ever
since. I have told number of people
about Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and they have taken them with
the most beneficial results"

seemed to know each other very well
by the time they had spoken a few

before the guests paired off on their
way to the dining room. He didn't

knew that from his point of view she
was about right. And he was a man
