Perhaps one of the shortest court

was on his way to hold court in a
town when he met a young woman re-

the answer as the girl walked on.
The judge pondered over the sensible
brevity of the reply, turned his horse,
rode back and overlook her.
II liked your answer just now," he
said, "and / like you. 1 think you
would make good wife. VIII you mar
ry me?"
She looked him over and said, "Yes. "
'Then get up behind me. and we will
ride to town and be married"
She did get up behind, and they rode
to the courthouse and were made one.
1t is recorded that, brief though the
courtship had been, the marriage prov
ed a pre-eminently happy one.

When Hazen 8. Pingree was coming
into prominence in Michigan politics,
he was in Washington one night and
strolled through the corridors of VIII
lard's hotel, which he had not visited
since war times, when 1t was the popu-
lar rendezvous of the city, political,
military and otherwise. A friend intro
duced him to Colonel Mosby. the old
guerrilla chieftain.

DISQUALIFICATION PRESIDING

When the estate case OF the late
Evan Williams came up before the
District Court at Carson on Nov. ",
says the Appeal, c. f. Mack presid-
ing, an affidavit was made by Attorney
Coffin, alleging that Mack is an inter
ested party in the suit and asking him
to call in some other Judge who was
not interested, to try the case. He
took the matter under advisement, and
said he would consider the proposition
on the goth instant. Judge Cheney,
for Mrs. Williams, asked him to decide
the point, but the Judge refused.
Attorney Cheney then sought the
assistance of the Supreme Court, with
the result that the Supreme Court has
issued a mandate setting up in sub
stance as follows:
That the settlement OF the Williams
estate is Eow pending before the Dis
trict Court; that Mrs. Williams has
made and filed her claim against said
estate for s44, 5000; that G. f. Mack
is interested in said estate and inter
ested in the rejection of the claim; /;
that he has been requested to call
some other Judge in to try the case
and has refused to do so; that Dora
Williams has no plain and speedy and
adequate remedy at law; that the Su-
preme Court being willing that full
and speedy justice be done, therefore
Judge G. f. Mack is commanded to
forthwith call the Judge Of some other
district to try the matters, and Mack
is ordered to refrain from taking any
jurisdiction or control. and if he does
not obey the mandate he is cited to
appear before the Supreme Court on
Nov. 80 and show cause, if any, why
be has not done as commanded.

ccording to a telegraph dispat,

A ccording to telegraph dispatch
~ the State OF New Jersey has
taken a course which is worthy of en-
ulation by all OF her sisters in the
Union. A law of the strictest nature
has been framed governing the prep
aration of all foods which are placed
on sale for public consumption, and
the Act will go into force at once. 1t
is said to be the strictest food law ever
enacted in the United States. Its
enforcement has been entrusted to the
New Jersey State Board of Health.
Everything that is used for human
consumption as food or drink is in
cluded under the law. The inspec-
tion will even take in canned goods.
1t does not matter whether these or
anything else is manufactured or put
up outside the State or in. they are
liable to come under the ban OF the
law if the analysis to be made from
time to time show them to be unfit for
human food.

A Remarkable Suicide.

One of the most remarkable cases of
suicide was that of the king Of Falaha.
on the west coast of Africa.
The king was attacked by a Moham-

impossible, he assembled his family
and principal officers, and after ad-
dressing them and intimating his de-
termination never to accept Mohamme-
danism and inviting those who did not
agree with him to go away he applied

Bottles.

In using bottles these two hints
ought to be so borne in mind that the
practice of them becomes habitual:
Always keep the label uppermost
when pouring from a bottle, so that II
any liquid trickles down the side the
label misses 1t. Result-your labels
keep clean and legible for much longer.
Secondly, If you want to deliver
drops (or a very small quantity) of nq-
uid just moisten the lip Of the bottle
with the finger.-Exchange.

Goldsmith's Views Of " oman. i.

Goldsmith: The modest virgin, the
prudent wife, or the careful matron
are much more serviceable in life than
petticoated philosophers, clustering
heroines or virago queens. She who
makes her husband and her children
happy, who reclaims the one from
vice and trains up the other to virtue,
is a much greater character than Ia
dies described in romance, whose sole
occupation is to murder mankind with
shafts from their quiver or their eyes.

Woman's Suffering and
Misery.

If women suffering from uterine or ovarian
disturbance; from painful, irregular, distress
ing periods, knew of the great comfort and
prompt relief that may be had by the use of
Wells Stomach Elixir, existence for them
would be more tolerable. The serious perma-
nent dangers that may come from these trout
bles if not corrected is hardly fully realized by
most women. This remedy was originally de-
signed not exactly for Dyspepsia, but for
most miserable stomach condition which no
drug or combination of drugs seemed to re-
Ieve-an acrid, irritable, distressing, condition
caused likely by bad Liver. After many trials
and experiments the combination known as
Wells Stomach Elixir was happily hit upon.
Words cannot express the degree of relief, ease
and comfort, this remedy has given the sub
scriber. The inestimable value of this rem
edy in such troubles is beyond computation.
From the hour of the cornpoundtng of the first
bottle of Wells Stomach Elixir it has been
valued and indispensable family medicine, and
it has been found by the women of the house
hold to be a most. effective and comforting
remedy at painful, distressing periods.
For Stomach, Bowel and Abdominal distress
and misery, Wells Stomach Elixir gives
prompt and salutary relief; comforting, .sooth-
ing, and gently invigorant to weak, feeble,
debilitated stomach. To an acrid, raw, tender,
inhamed, feverish, irritated stomach gives most
benign and happy relief. Relieves pain, dis
tress and fatulence after eating. Corrects and
aids digestion, regulates bilious irritability and
bilious diarrhoea. At painful periods in female
life, and during change of life, it will be found
a most grateful relief and support. In SOC. and

WHAT WOMEN DREAD

ailing women are invited to consult DIR.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence is strictly private and the written
condolences of women are treated with
the same privacy observed by DR.. Pierce
in verbal consultations with women at
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, Buffalo, N Y. Address DR.. R. ".
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Because DR.. Pierce's offer is free it Is
not be classed with those offers of vfres
medical advice" made by men or women
who have neither the legal nor the pro-
fessional right to practice medicine. If
they dared to put out their signs with
the title Doctor upon them, the law would
instantly deal with them. They don't
dare to do this, and yet, though without
medical training, medical knowledge or
medical experience, they cunningly offer
Ofree medical advice" The law can't
touch that claim because anyone can
give free advice on any subject, but a
woman knows that the advice of her
laundress is perfectly worthless as to
the cutting and fitting of her gown.
In consulting with DR.. Pierce, women
not only consult with real doctor, but
one who is specialist In the treatment
and cure of diseases peculiar to women,
and who, assisted by his staff of nearly a
score of physicians, has in little more
than thirty years treated and cured hum
dreds of thousands of women.

Lavender OIL.

As four-ifths of the oil extracted from
lavender is concealed in the bloom the
harvest takes place just before the flower
begins to fade at the end Of August The
oil is distilled by means of steam, which
is compelled to penetrate the closely pack
ed lavender, afterward being drawn of
in pipes that run through cold water. In
this manner the steam is reconverted into
water, but the process of passing through
the lavender has extracted the oil, which
floats on the surface of the water as il
runs into glass jars down below. These
Jars have sprouts In the center, thus en-
abling the water to run out while the oil
collects above the level Of the exit. In
this, the first stage, the oil Is Of brown
ish blue tint, and 1t now has TO be refined
by passing once more through water
Thus all impurities are removed and the
oil runs out white save for very pale
blue color similar to that observed IL
parafin.
Three pounds Of oil Will make 80 gal
Ions of the perfume. The majority OF
ladies would be surprised If they were in
formed that bottle Of lavender water
contains but about a thimbleful Of pure
oil, for a larger proportion would not
only render the water too strong for use
but would burn holes through the hand
kerchief wherever the scent touched it.
