STEPPED AGAINST A HOT STOVE

STEPPED AGAINST A HOT STOVE.
 A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back against a hot stove which burned him severely. The child was in great agony and his mother could do nothing to pacify him. Re- membering that she had a bottle of Chamberlains Pain Balm in the house, she thought she would try it. In less than half an hour after applying it the child was quiet and asleep, and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs. Ben son is a well known resident of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic lini- ment and especially valuable for burns, cuts, bruises and sprains. For sale by ElYeY & Hulett druggists.

Miss Helen Smith the Hostess, and Maidens Fair Try Their Skill in Shooting at Hearts None Miss.
Dinner is Given Mr. 0rennen, Many Entertainments at the Country Club Will be Given This Fall and Winter,
BY ANNIE kENDRIck WALKER.

Miss Helen Smith gave bachelor maids dinner last evening in compliment to Miss Ferry Nabb. the guests including the young women who will act as brides maids at Miss Nabb's wedding on We'd nesday evening.
 The occasion was naturally one of TO- nance and sentiment, the menu being in- terspersed with many tender farewells to the bride and innumerable good wishes for her happiness. Preceding the dinner the guests were entertained in Miss Smiths "den." where the hostess had arranged for little target practice in the way of piercing a huge red heart with a bow and arrows.
 The lights in the "den' were softened by red silken shades and the bachelor maids had little difficulty in piercing so familiar a target as a heart.
 In the details of the dinner the red color scheme was carried out. About q table artistically decorated with scarlet blossoms, the bachelor maids gathered to read their fortune, concealed in wal nuts tied with red ribbons. The place cards were handpainted and represented the king of hearts. In the center of the table was the brides cake, ornamented with a miniature bride. the centerpieee being a huge red heart. The cutting of the cake was an exciting feature of the dinner, two heart broches. a silver thim- ble and dime falling to the lot of these bachelor maids.
 The souvenirs were lockets designed as red hearts, containing the miniatures of Miss Nabb and MT. Drennen.
 An interesting feature of the occasion was in the reading of the fortunes which were composed by the clever hostess
 Among some of the most original verses were the following:
 Roses red, violets blue,
 A giddy widower loves you. Violets blue. roses red.
 Sore, be No. 2!'' he said.
 Two hearts with but a single thought,
 Each other;
 Two hearts with but single fear
 Father and mother.
 Be brave two hearts and cease pining
 For each other;
 Just tell your single plans
 To father and mother.
 An elaborate menu was served, the ices being designed as cupids. Miss Smith was beautifully gowned in white with touches of red. The guests included Miss Nabb( Miss Milly Nabb. Miss May Douglass. Mrs Alden Howell Miss Cornelia Jones, Miss Lilly Drennen, Miss Lillian Roden, Miss Griffin, Miss Scott. Miss Higgins, Miss Dimmick.
