THE WOOING OF
A HYPNOTIST "
BY ELLIOTT FLOWER.

TT CAME to her as an inspiration.
He had taken seat at a distance
Of about six feet from her. as was his
invariable custom when he called, and
his innate bashfulness and difndence
had made his conversation just about
as uninteresting as usual. He knew
why he was there and she knew why he
was there; he knew why he called
with such regularity, and she also
knew it; but he failed to put the rea-
son in words, and of course 1t would
have ben unmaidenly for her to do it.
He was awkward and ill-at-ease. but
nevertheless from q social and world
ly point Of view he was distinctly eel
igible" II their positions had been
reversed, it would have been all over
in five minutes, but, as it was, all her
efforts to give him the encouragement
and confidence necessary had been
without result.
Then, as before stated, brilliant
Idea flashed upon her.
Are you at all interested in the
subject of hypnotism?" she asked,
NO. he replied, gratified that she
had come to his rescue with q sub
ject for conversation just as the ST.

THEY CRUSH THE POWERS

This Is written in mid. October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone, Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn In
tho fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost rain, snow,-they are coming, You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. Ali the thous-
ands II killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-
tiers. For the soothing and healing power
of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-

Whenit becomes necessary to
sit up in bed to get your breath;
when the least exertion such as
walking, sweeping, singing,

then it is time to do something
to brace up and strengthen

A slight change has been made in the
nrogramme of the Savannah Athletic
Club for the next few bouts. The bout
Feltz, scheduled for Wednesday night,
will be pulled off as slated, but the
preliminary between Jack Sheehan and
Jack Durane will not take place. In
stead a six-round bout will be given by
Billy Hicks and Young Henderson.
Again, the Lenny- Daley bout, which
was to take place Oct. s, has been post
noned two weeks, as Lenny is slated to
meet Young Corbett for six rounds in
Philadelphia, Oct. 4. He will come to
savannah after that bout, however, and
will make the go" with Daley Oct. %.
For Oct. 8 the club has fixed up a
series of bouts at popular prices, In
which only local men will take part
Two of these will be among the young
er members of the profession; the first
with young Jollie and links McCabe,
boys who have met twice before, when
in each case a draw was made; and
the second will be between Young Mil
Ter and the winner of the Hicks-Hen-
derson match. The main event will be
a 20-round bout between Jack Durane
and Jack Sheahan.
This entertainment has been put on
by the club so as to give the local
talent show The boys who make
good are assured of bouts during the
remainder of the season, either in pre-
limnaries or if they show the ability,
in the big matches.
