READ IT IN HIS NEWSPAPER.

George Schaub, well known Ger man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is q constant reader of the Dayton Volks- zeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in it's columns, and when he saw Chamber lain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: ''Af- ter using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, I feel as though born anew, and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely van- ished and she could again take up her household duties" He is very thank ful and hopes that all suffering like wise will hear of her wonderful re- covery.

POPULARITY OF CRAY HAIR.
Combined with Youthful Face, It Ex- erts Strange Fascination, Says
 a Novelist.

"My next book shall have a white haired hero, and he won't be old, either, said Chicago novelist, accord ing to the Tribune. ssI am convinced that if a book appeared whose hero boasts of silvery locks and youthful face it's popularity would be assured No publisher need be afraid to risk his money on it. It would be the talk of the drawing-rooms, and sentiment al schoolgirls would rapturously de- vour its pages, following the white haired hero with unslacked interest through to the end.
 ssThere is a fascination about the young man with gray hair. At a gathering the other night I counted a dozen white heads, all giving back ground to faces glowing with youth full vitality. These men seemed the most sought after of any in the room; in fact, the only men I have have been white-haired ones.
 "Why is it? That is what have been trying to study out, and I have come to the conclusion that it is ow- ing to the look of maturity it gives a man, minus the disagreeable ac- compartments of age. We women like to play we are children. We like to look up to a man with reverence. feel ing that he is older and wiser than we But it spells the romance if he limps with rheumatism or wabbles with superabundance of flesh, or com plains of his eyes or teeth or his di- gestion.
 sI think woman's ideal man though she will never admit it-is one who has been through all life's expe- riences. She is content that he should have the experiences if he will but tell her of them. A woman naturally yields to the judgment of man who seems older and wiser than herself. The gray head gives all the appear anee of age and experience. while the youthful face lends itself to dreams of romance. I4s S-1s is ir- irresistible. ]" ''-'-

oLD FABLE IN NEW FORM.
Canadian Version of the Wolf That Ran fn Sheep's Clothing with
 Bell Attachment.

A settler on the upper Mattawa riv- CT who caught wolf last winter had read that ships were some times cleared of rats by fastening bell around the neck of one of them. And the bright idea occurred to him that in similar manner he might clear the adjacent woods of wolves. He fast ened bell on his wolf's neck and re- leased him, says an eastern exchange.
 After the snow had pretty we'll gone, he allowed his little flock of sheep to exercise their lambs in the fields near the house. His children were with their father looking at the gambols of the lambs, when the sheep were mo- ticed to prick up their ears as though intently listening. Then with much bleating the whole flock raced to the woods.
 Wondering at the vagaries of the an- imals the farmer went about his work. About an hour later the children came to him with the news that the sheep had returned, but had left one of the lambs behind them.
 The next day the same thing oc- cured again and another lamb dis appeared. The children tried to keep the sheep in the fields, but. failing, followed them into the bush. They re ported that they had distinctly heard bell tinkling in the distance.
 Then it began to dawn upon the farmer that the bell he had fastened to the neck of his gray wolf visitor was the same which was borne by the father of the flock in the previous sum- mer. The quick-eared sheep had rec ognized the sound of the bell, and, true to their instincts, had hastened to join their last years companion.
 That they found not exactly wolf insheep's clothing, but a wolf attached to sheep's bell, and ready to take ad- vantage of his condition to dine on spring lamb was no fault of theirs, though certainly their misfortune. The settler does not appear to think very much of the bell plan of disQos- ing of wolves.

ASKS FOR RECONSIDERATION.
Plea Entered in Behalf Of Former
Plumbi Board,

Irwin B. Linton, attorney for the MEM
bers of the plumbing board, who served
from July, 1898, to July, 1898, without COM
pensation, has written to the District Com
missioners asking a reconsideration of their
adverse decision in the matter OF the ap-
plication for compensation recently filed.
acknowledging receipt of your communf-
cation Of the Sd instant" says Mr.. Lin
ton, declining my request that an appro-
priation be asked of Congress to pay for
the services of the plumbing board from
July, 1898, to July, 1898, for which period
no compensation was received by the men,
bers Of such board. l beg to ask a recon-
sideration of the matter on the ground that,
under the provision of the act of Congress
of May I, 1884, that no department shall
accept voluntary service, except in cases
of sudden emergency, involving loss of life
and destruction Of property, your hOnOra-
BILE board would be justified in recommend
ing the relief sought, as the District of
Columbia is In all essential respects a de-
partment of the United States government
''And, while the members of the plumbing
board performed the arduous duties de-
promise on the part Of the District of CO.
lumbia for compensation therefore, surely,
by just implcatio they had reason to
suppose that our mighty nation would not
accept their labor without adequate re-
muneration. No private citizen would be
exonerated for such refusal, and l have
the utmost confidence in the broad sense
of justice controlling your board, and there
fore beg favorable reconsideration of the
case"

Commissioners.

dwelling was easy, as the window was not
fastened. Bureau drawers were ransacked
