Not wholly glad my heart can be
While his is bowed with care.

While his poor letters clank,
Unsated still, I'll still cry out,
And plead with Whom thank.
Almighty Thou who Father be

Draw us togther, him and me-
That whatsoever fall
The others hand may fail him not
The others strength decline
No task of succor that his lot
May claim from son of Thine.

The load that brings relief,
And best shall be his JOY secure
Who shares that JOY with grief

CROOK PERsoNATEs A GIRL

Nebraska Hotel Clerk Fell in Love asc
Wanted to Marry Him.
Denver, Col, Dear Mr.. Crawford
Since there Is no law which permits
two men to marry 1t will be impossible
for me to consent to become your wife
You will find all the evidence Of my
womanly charms which so attracted
you. as well as the form which
you SO admired In my room upstairs.
am sorry to blast your fOndest wishes
beg to remain your sister.
Minnie Swift"
That was the reply which Harry K
Crawford. night clerk Of the Midway
hotel at kearney. Neb.. received from
his lady love at the Windsor hotel In
Denver when anticipating an accept.
ance of his offer Of marriage. Behind
the sarcastic little note Is the story
of a shrewd little bunkO game.
Last November a handsome. fiaxen-
haired young woman appeared at the
Midway hotel I'm kearney. Neb.. and
was hired as waitress by Landlord
Casey. She said her name was Minnie
Swift and that she was trying to care
for herself. as her mother was an invalid
and dependent for support upon her
only brother, who was a struggling
mining operator at Cripple Greek.
She had many admirers. among them
w. S. Weaver, cattle buyer from
Wyoming. After three weeks she ask
ed for leave to stay at home for a few
days. Next evening slender young
man registered at the Midway hotel as
Arthur J. Swift, Cripple Greek. Colo.
Harry X. Crawford. night clerk. asked
II he was related to Minnie Swift.
"She's my sister," answered the
young man. "Do you know herr"
When he learned that Minnie was a
waitress at the hotel he inquired eager
ly about her, and obtaining her address
went away. The following morning
he brought a note from Minnie asking
permission to stay at home while her
brother was in town. On the after.
noon Of the fifth day he asked Mr..
Casey to cash draft for "Only $3.50"
The proprietor couldn't. but w. 8.
Weaver was only too happy to accom-.
modate his sweetheart's brother. who
had to leave town that night. Next
day Minnie Swift returned to work.
The draft was protested. Minnie cried
and said that there must be some mis-
take; that her brother was in Denver
closing a mining deal. Weaver. being
unable to 60. sent Clerk Crawford with
the girl to Denver to find Arthur Swift
and rectify the error. Weaver paid the
expenses Of the trip. Crawford pro-
posed on the train and Minnie promised
him an answer next morning. In the
morning Crawford found the note
given above. He went to the room ad-
Joining his, which was occupied by the
girl. On the floor was a corset. a wig
of yellow hair, powder. rouge and curl
Ing irons. Crawford notified the police
and went home.

CATARRh

Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
q simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
