Miss Fletcher is an heiress. Like Mr..
Harrington, she resides in Indianapo-
lis. She was graduated from Smith
college in 1890 and on her return home
first met the popular author.
Mr.. Harrington had prepared play
for the Indianapolis Dramatic club
which, strange to say. was vested with
a heroine's part for the portrayal Of
which no feminine member of the club
seemed adapted. Some one mentioned
Miss Fletcher's name. After thinking
a moment Mr.. Harrington said: "Oh,
the girl with the cA>siny blue eyes.
She was made for the part" They are
soon TO be wed.

BUrrERM1LK as a remedial agent

BUTTERMILK as a remedial agent
cannot be too highly praised.
The Tactic acid of the buttermilk
attacks and dissolves all earthly
deposits in the blood vessels,
thus keeping the arteries so free
that no clOgging can occur; hence
there is no irritating matter
around the joints, or poisonous
waste IN the muscles. 1t is the
stiffening of the blood vessels
that brings on decay. Butter
milk is likely to prolong life ten
or twenty years If drank freely.
A quart should be the minimum
amount used daily and the maxi
mum according to taste and Op-
portunity. Inasmuch as dyspep-
sia is caused principally from
impure blood buttermilk is one
of the best known remedies for
this dread disease with all its
attendant train of evils both real
and imaginary. 1t gently stlmu-
lates the liver, tones up the
stomach and furnishes the ma
terial from which the rich, red
blood is made. If people would
buy less patent medicine, drink
plenty of buttermilk and use
more water and soap they would
no doubt improve the state of
their finances and their health
at the same time.

A Delicate Position.

Wedding presents are fre
quently distinguished for their
uselessness, and gift-making at
any time is always attended with
some danger, but there is con-
tractor near Albany who realizes
that the most generous intentions
are likely to turn out disastrous
ly. The Albany Journal tells how
it came about.
A faithful Irish employe an

his employer not only granted

received the gift accompanied
by a few appreciative words.

THURSDAY. APRIL 10. 1902.

We were very much amazed
the other day to see in one of
our exchanges where some enter
prising idiot from the windy city
had sent several hundred letters
to college graduates and business
men to ascertain if an education
was worth what 1t cost. After
reading the article we came to
the conclusion that the fool
killer has been neglecting his
duty lately. Is money getting
the only value to put on an edu-
cation? If so there might be
something learned Of its relative
worth. But such is not the case.
Any such reference is both
untrue and misleading. 1t is
true that a well educated man in
many instances secures much
better salary than the unlearned
and from this fact some people
think education should be meas
ured by dollars and cents.
When you have secured a COM
pensation equal to that of the
steel king Schwab you have Sc
cured one of the smallest and
most Insignificant jewels of a
we'll developed mind. The wisest
man known to history, sacred or
profane, says, "Wisdom is the
principal thing, therefore get
wisdom; and with all thy getting
get understanding" If you have
ever been afflicted with the idio-
syncrasy that money getting was
the paramount issue in getting
an education kindly answer the
following questions to yourself.
What is the value Of the physi-
cian's knowledge that enables
him to save your loved one from
an untimely grave? What is the
value of the instruction which
enables your boy to become a
true, noble gentleman and an
honor to his country? No
amount of money can measure
such priceless values as these.
