Introducing Himself.

Scottish country people call corpse
''the body" solemnly lengthening the
word into 'bo-ody." This mode of ex-
preston is due to religious feeling. The
object lying dead is no longer to them
their relative or friend. He or she is
elsewhere, leaving behind merely his
or her husk or shell.
A somewhat ludicrous Illustration of
this use of the word occurred some
time ago before the sheriff of a north
ern county, says The Scottish Ameri-
can. He. with the procurator fiscal
and the medical officer of the county.
was engaged in a country village in
vestigating the circumstances affecting
the death of a person found drowned.
The corpse was in the room. and there
was considerable difficulty in preveI :
ing the neighbors and friends of the
deceased from crowding in upon them.
+ One man in particular presented him
self with so earnest and confident an
air that the sheriff thought he might
have something to tell. "Well, my
man. he said. "why have you come
| here?'
"Please, your honor" the man grave
ly replied. ''I'm the body's breether."

..e thought. Upon so short an acquaint-
ancc it was impossible for Kitty to ex-
plain that. though her room looked out
on snowiess and green mountain not
any too high. the price thereof was OF
such a height as to practically exclude
the consumption Of wines, white, red
or otherwise. So, with a smile and an
answering glance at the benevolent
blue eye. she replied:
''In America we rarely drink Wine
we women" quite as if that were the
only reason why.
"Humph! Take a little with me-" he
insisted, and for fear of being claSsed
with those violent prohibition women
who 90 about with angry temperance
ribbons slashed from shoulder to belt;
partly, too, because the wine was white
and bubbled in the glass, she took sip
and still another sip until it came to be
that she regularly assisted The Gentle
man in the drinking of his wine every
night at dinner and oftentimes at l
o'clock at dejeuner.
1t was at that first dinner that the

making up her bed before she had hard
ly time to get out Of il.
Combing her hair before TIC brilliant
" framed mirror between her two win
dows, she smiled at herself morning
and night, thinking how the magic
change was due to the courtesy of The
Gentleman who had constituted him
self her knight.
At the end of the week she who had
thought to hate the place regretted
leaving it, not because of the Alpine
glow on the Jungfrau, nor because Of
the intervening mountains that showed
dark blue in the dawn, changing to
emerald green when the sunlight shone
upon them, nor because of the tiny hill
nearer to her over which the clouds

AS she might have expected, he made
little fete of her last dinner, ordering
the fraulein to open bottles of cham
pagne, which the party that had climb
ed the mountains with them drank
with resonant clinking of glasses, wish
ing her bon voyage and happy return
on the following year, to the intense
admiration of those at the other end OF
the table, who looked smilingly an(
champagnelessly on.
At that dinner every time she glanced
at The Gentleman she found him glanc
ing at her.

We Have Many Friends Here in Town
Who Are Subject to Such Trouble.

Colds if neglected lead to serious and
often fatal consequences.
Do not go on living with the continual
dread of catching cold. There is no need
of it. People who take cold easily do so
because their system is in just the con-
dition to contract them.
We know of something that will
quickly drive colds out of the system by
invigorating the entire body. 1t is Vi
MOL, the great tonic recOnstructor, that
contains all the active curative principles
found in cod liver oil.
Here is one letter that we nave had
presented to us that we would like our
friends to read:

cold for a number of weeks, and having
