railroad stations . few evenings

incident on account of her ambition
and her effort to touch Chinaman I.
The orient had drifted into the
station and was evidently bent on
an out of town trip, and no was
going at q rather rapid rate, prob
ably fearing that he would miss his
train,. AS soon as the girl spiea
him she jumped up and made a
quick dart, evidently for the purpose
of crossing tho Chinaman path
at q certain point and just brush
ing him as he passed. OF course,
she would not dare to look at the
Chinaman. Here is probably
where she made q mistake. At any
rate, either the girl or the China
man erred. Both were walking
rapidly, each seemed to be indifer-
ent to the course of the other. She
touched the Chinaman all right,
and if the good luck incident to the
act of touching is measured by the
vigor and force of the touch good
fortune ought to shower on her
whole family. It was . Aerce col
lision. The girl was embarrassed,
and from the capers cut by the
Chinaman he evidently thought =
freight train had hit him.
Eyes, indeed, this business of
touching q Chinaman is q regular

The decision of King Edward to

sequence of the unsettled condition
of the country is almost simultan-
oous with the determination of Pref
dent Roosevelt to cut out the Charles

agitation in South Carolina. We
Anglo Saxon nation are having. a
great deal of trouble with our de-.
tendencies, and we can not lightly
esteem any danger that may threaten
our ruler who may desire to sojourn
among hostile people. Ireland and
South Carolina have manycharacter-
istics in common, and while the
people are warm hearted, hospita BILE
and frequently generous, they re
also inflammable, quick to anger
and hasty of action. Therefore we
think the two rulers are entirely
justified is refusing to go where the
consequences may be unpleasant if
not perilous. We presume
that in time King Edward may
take the postponed trip with pleasure
and profit, just as at some future day
President Roosevelt may with safety
and pleasurable expectation repair
to Charleston, but at present due
caution must be observed. The

that uncomfortable feeling in the

depression, he should take Cascarine.
the gentle and pleasing laxative,
uesd in practice and recommended
by thousands of people. If you can
not sleep at night, if you are restless
and have palpitation Of the heart,
which usually leads ono to believe
he has heart disease when in reality
it is nothing more than accumula
tionof gas in the stomach, you should
take a teaspoonful of Cascarine be-
fore retiring and after continuing
for a. week you will find you are
troubled no more and can sleep we'll

If your tongue is coated and you
find bad taste in your mouth your
stomach is out of order and needs
Cascarine to put in shape. You must
not eat too much and you must have
your meals regular and eat we'll
cooked food.
There are many remedies, objective
ferments. digestive tablets mineral
waters and thousands of so called
cures, but all have to be taken con-
stantly in order to do any good and
after using for a time become USE

others. It stimulates the liver, re-
moves from the stomach impurities,
and acts as a tonic on the whole
sytem. 49,
Mothers should be careful not to
use any other laxative for children.
When you ask for Cascarine at your
druggists be sure you get Cascarine
which come in bule and white rap

STIRRED THINGS UP
SNAKE CAUSED ANIMATION IN

Melancholy and Bored Looking Youth
Plays a Mean Trick on Patrons OF
a Boston Resort-Dire Threats OF
Vengeance Made.

y tall and melancholy-loo
!ou.., dressed like laborcr, strolled
into smoking parlor on fremont
street about II o'clock last night and,
taking a seat, ordered a cup of cof-
tee and proceeded to look around in
bored sort of way, says the Boston
Globe. There was the usual number
of young women and male loafers
sitting around the place, but every
thing was quiet, too quiet, apparently.
to suit the melancholy youth.
Some of the patrons of the place
regarded him in n rather contemptu.
GUS manner because he wasn't as
well or as Hastily dressed as the ma.
jority of the habitues of the place. but
the young man paid no attention
either to the other people in the
place or TO their looking at him
lie GaZed in an absent minded sort
OF way at peroxide beauty and an
anemonc style Of female opposite him,
and when the fat woman stuck up ner
nose al him tho young man smiled
hiandly, whcreupOn she looked away
AS she did so, he reached into the
capacious pocket on the starboard
side of his sack coat and drew out q
little snake. which he dropped gently
to the floor. Then he resumed his
study of the ceiling.
T1e snake may have seen other
t! ings in the room aside from the
raj woman opposite it, but it crawled
| rapidly and directly toward the per-
oxide bcautys anemone friend, and
the lady of the embonpoint saw it
coming.
With screech that scared tho
head waiter she leaped on the fral
table In front of her. to the everlast-
ing ruination of that piece OF furni-
ture, while the drug store blonde IS
sued two whoops and, clutchlng her
skirts with both hands, bolted for the
| door.
The other women in the place also
shrieked and shouted for the police,
and everybody else they could think
Of, and then, with skirts held high
they made a mad rush for the exits.
They were pretty quick in getting
there, too, but not as quick as the
men who were in the place. as they
reached the door first and went down
the stairs three steps at time, shout
ing for the police.
There was such a crush at the door
when the women reached it that
there was a blockade, and the women
clutched and clawed at each other
until they finally got out. All but the
anemone lady, who was in a dead faint
and needless of the snake, which
was working its way around the
smoking parlor.
When the excited crowd got out In
the street they made such a racke,
that people came running from all di
rections under the impression that
there was a fire. Some policemen
came too, and they went upstairs
with clubs drawn, only to find thai
one Of the walters had regained his
nerve and had killed the snake by
stepping on it.
The fat woman was revived and
went away threatening to sue some
body for damages.
The melancholy youth who lie
loose the snake lost himself in thu
crowd and got away in safety, al
though the vengeance of those wht
. run the Turkish parlor was solemn.
sworn against him.
