Somewhat Chromatic.

A Virginia reader sends a story
told by the late Alban s. Payne
("Nicholas Spicer'D as an actual oc-
currence. 1t concerned hard-riding,
hard-drinlSing young Englishman who
settled near Linden, that state, in
the expressed hope that the rustic
surroundings would prove an aid in
Kidding him of his abnormal thirst.
But he chung to his old habits, and
soon became connoisseur in moon
shine Installations, rather preferring
them, after time, to those bearing
the government stamp. His face was
mingled purple and sunset-red, the
joint product Of whisky and an open
air life; and he had nothing of charm
apart from his faultless manners to
offer the pretty mountain girl who
consented to become his wife. One
afternoon he was carried home pref
ty well mussed up as the result Of q
fall. The gravel Of the roadside, the
green of the grass and the smear
from some cuts added to the color
fulness of his countenance; and the
young wife, when DIR. Payne arrived,
rushed out on the porch, screaming:
20, doctor! doctor! go in to him
quick! He has all the diseases Of the
rainbow!"- Times.

Don't Hurry.

Any one can hold out dumb-bell
for few seconds; but in a few more
seconds the arm says; it is only the
trained athlete who can endure even
to the minutes end. For Hawthorne
to hold the people of The Scarlet
Letter steadily in focus from Novem-
Der to February, to say nothing Of
six years preliminary brooding, is
surely more of an artistic feat than
to write a short story between Tues
day and Friday. The three years and
nine months of unremitting labor
devoted to Middlemarch does not in
itself afford any criticism of the
value of the book; but given George
Eiiot's brain to begin with, and then
concentrate them for, that period
upon single theme, and it is no won
der that the result is q masterpiece.
'etJan van Eyck was never in a hurry
says Charles Reade Of the great
Flemish painter in the Cloister and
the Hearth. "Jan van Eyck was
never in a hurry, and therefore the
world will not forget him in q
hurry"

WHAT AN ALMANAC DID.

Matthews, Ark, Aug. 25th.-Mrs
Lee S. Sanders, of this place, tells how
an almanac saved her life.
II have been troubled great deal
with my Kidneys all my life and was
constantly growing worse.
II CHANGED to get copy of Dodd's
Almanac for 1902 and in it read some
stories of how Dodd's Kidney Pills had
cured many very bad cases of Kidney
Trouble.
my husband bought box and be.
gan to use them and in short time we
were surprised and delighted at the
wonderful improvement in my case.
II am now as well as anybody and
can not say too much for Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills. It was lucky day for me
when picked up that almanac.
II believe Dodd's Kidney Pills will
cure any one who suffers with Kidney
Trouble"

were ranged some 80 volumes, says the
Philadelphia Times.

Among the books were Joseph Con-

said the librarian. 'He was thin and
the waistband of his trousers was

boy before he had gotten half way
down the stairs. We didn't Jail him.

"Crackanthorp's 'Wreckage' was

was pnrloined by wealthy lawyer 6s

and I discovered his deed by chance,
for on visit to his country place 1
saw the volume, stamped with our
name. lying on his library table. He
laughed on being accused. He said he
had taken sCelibates' in a fit of alb
sent-mindedness. I expressed polite
disbelief and carried the book home
in my trunk on my return to town.
1--WE have never yet prosecuted any
one for stealing books. It is thing
we hesitate to do. because all whom
we have detected in this crime have
been apparently respectable-school-
teachers, clerks, physicians, lawyers
