The Major was a stout, short old
gentleman, with a shining bald head,
a bumpy forehead, light-blue eyes,
which always seemed as if they would
touch his spectacle glasses, and a frost
white mustache. He was an inveter-
ate old bachelor, with all the subtle
ways and habits of old bachelorhood,
and had money to leave-at least SO
said the tongue Of popular rumor-
and he had also a furtive suspicion
that all the ladies were in league
against his single blessedness.
"Ill write to Mrs. Pry," said the
Major; and accordingly he sat down
and wrote, succinctly:
my Dear Madam: | am heartily
sick of this sort Of life. Will you
take me? If 1t isn't convenient don't
mind saying so. ! prefer the second
story front room. No piano practice,
no cold dinners, no neglect about my

idiosyncrasies, and will doubtless ac-

you at once.

he read the letter over, not without
complacency. Yes, yes-pretty fair

TO MISS ADELA FORESTER, No

to find out whether old Mrs. Pry's
name was P~aulina, Patience or Par

zed, like familiar bees, in his brain.

81. Volenfine.s DEATH.

February IA, known to all Americans
as st. Valentines day, is the anniver-
sary of the death OF the saint and
martyr. 1t is not clear why the pecu-
liar character of the day observances
in the nineteenth century had origin
as a mark Of respect to him. II Is
more likely that some such observance
obtained long before the advent Of the
saint and became known by his name
merely from the fact that he was put
to death on that day. He was first
cruelty beaten with clubs by order Of
Claudius, emperor OF Rome, and was
then beheaded. His real name was
valentinus. and 1t was several hundred
years after his death that the College
of Cardinals at Rome canonlzed him
saint. There ara also two other
Of the same name. Valentinus

the other guillotined. While one of the

This was sever years ago, and now a

deck of the Silvestra In the Caribbean
sea, to whom her young affections
were pledged.
So it happened that MIR. Forester
and old Mrs. Pry both met in Major
M~idgefeld's room at the parsonage OF
st. Adolphine, on the afternoon of that
radiant fourteenth of February.

mer, that my daughter declines to en-
terrain your very complimentary pro-

commence now?'
do you deny your own handwrit-
ing?" flashed out Mr.. Forester. who
was of a choleric disposition, and did
not relish his word being doubted.
II deny everything" shouted the
Major. Stop a minute, Forester;
here is the respectable female who has
just called to see me on business. I'll
just see what she wants before we go
on with this discussion. Now. then,
Mrs. Pry.".
But Mrs. Pry was making amazon
ian efforts to get a letter out of her
pocket, and turned very red in the face
at thus being directly addressed.
I'm sixty-odd, Major, If you please"
said Mrs. Pry, 'and a widow woman.

sniff.
II never saw the thing before In all
my life." said Major Midgefeld, eying
1t through his spectacle glasses as n
might survey some noxious insect.
Amt this in your writing?" de-
manded Mrs. Pry, holding UP the
envelope.
"Of course it is" answered the Ma
jor.
And Is not this your writing?"
sternly joined in Mr.. Forester. hold
ing up the letter.
Certainly il is" admitted the Ma
jor. "And that letter and that IN
velope belong together, comprising a
note written by me to Mrs. Pry to
engage board at her house once more.
II you will observe Mr.. Forester, you
will perceive that the letter and the
envelope in your possession are in diff
ferent handwriting"
Then" gasped the bewildered Mr..
Forester, "hcw on earth came this
letter directed to my ,daughter?"
"All know" said the Major, stout
ly, lis that never sent it."
And to the day Of their death no
body solved the mystery. The only
person who could have done SO was
Master julius Carey, who had listened
at the door during the whole colloquy,
and who took particularly good care
that no one should suspect his share
in the confusion of letters and en-
velopes!
But Mrs. Pry got back her boarder.

EUST people think that catarrh is a
EU disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and
throat is the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is SO it is so only
because these parts are more exposed
to the vicissitudes of the climate than
the other parts OF the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
Of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude OF ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This Is true winter and sum-
mer. Catarrh causes many cases OF
chronic disease, where the victim has
not the slightest suspicion that catarrh
has anything to do with 1t.

ring power, which has been source of
great profit to him.
Democrats throughout the state be-

party In line with reform, that It
should not be made an object of scorn
and contempt. and that the Democratic
members of the legislature should
promptly place themselves on record

a form Of government where the tax
payers will be represented in Office by
men elected by themselves and not
