Not the Only, butthe shortest Way

The reason that the Seaboard All
Line railways famous train, the Sea-
board Florida Limited, can run from
New York to st Augustine in twenty
FIVE hours and thirty-five minutes is
because the Seaboard is the shortest
line TO Florida. II is ''the Straight
Way South" and this accounts for
the fast schedules OF this train and of
the Seaboard New York Limited on
the homeward journey, which have
been feature OF this seasons tourist
travel. Nevertheless, it takes a fine
train, good road, and good manage
ment to take heavy Pullman train to
Florida in little over twenty-four
hours.

The greatest Of modern physicians. Prof.

OF long practice and close scientific study, gave
TO suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers TO cure.
thousands Of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women OF our country fully sustain The claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding bis inoompar-

One OF the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion Of
Canada. We refer TO Mr.. Alfred Brown, OIL

greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
Of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
II proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people OF wealth

HISTORIC OLD HOUSE IS

Workmen have been kept busy
throughout the spring months on the
Wingohocking meadow, surrounding
the Rock house," the Shoemaker
house, or the Hendricks house," as
the historic building is variously call
ed, which is built on the huge rock at
Wingohocking Station, near Philadel-

used by William Penn in pre-revolu-
tionary days. In the famous old
meadow through which, until recent
years, the beautiful Wingohocking
Greek flowed, and in which during the
revolutionary war some of the British
cavalry had their encampment, there
are now huge f1ower-beds and clumps
OF hardy Towering shrubbery. All I'M
derbrush has been cut from the stretch
Of woods on the hillside above the
meadow and the trees trimmed to let
in the sunlight, making it possible to
grow q smooth, rich slope of velvety
grass.
The steep embankment between the
woods and the meadow has been
graded into attractive terraces and a
series Of tennis courts reach up to the
mammoth projecting rock, which is
now nearly hidden by the filling in of

MANILA SETTLEMENT HOUSE.
One Already Esta b1ished and Appeals
to American Women.

One Already Established and Appeals
to American Women.
A settlement house has already been
established at Manila, and the women
at the head of it have issued q strong
appeal to the American women in the
Philippines to lend their influence and
personal endeavor to establish frater-
nal relations with the natives, and to
aid in uplifting them from their state
Of Incidence and ignorance. The appeal
reads in part:
''Our Settlement House in Manila
has been started not for purposes of
proselytism, but that it's workers, liy-
ing among the natives, may exemplify
the Christian life in its spirit of help
fulness. We shall try to get into close
touch with the common people, learn
their language, know their difficulties,
see things as they see them. We shall
have a wellequipped dispensary, with
assistance Of skilled physicians, native
and American. A kindergarten is pro-
vided; other agencies Of ministration
will doubtless be developed as time
goes on. We particularly wish to have
it understood that the use Of any
equipment which may be gathered here
and any experiences we may acquire,
we shall gladly share with others
ITO sum up and apply-our circular
is thus an appeal to American women:
"O. To enter upon their residence
in the Philippines. whether it is to be
brief or protracted, under sense Of
responsibility.
"(2.) To beware Of adopting a preju-
diced or despising or despairing atti-
tude toward the people of the land.
Their blood, their temperament, all
their antecedents, are different from
ours. It will take very long time at
best before we can understand them.
49, That each American woman
should make some definite and individ-
ual effort for the betterment, the we'll
being, Of some Filipino neighbor; this
is a PERSISTENT, intelligent way. We
expect to be able to furnish from set
Element house, upon application, such
remedies and appliances as will be
most frequently needed, and we invite
the visits or correspondence of those
who are interested
"4.) To take advantage of any op-
portunity to train and teach the ma
tives.
"(5.) To consider whether some sort
of association with our settlement
work would not help them and us
alike to better fulfillment of our com
mon responsibility. New York Even

When the wife goes the husband may

for once he will do just as he pleases.
But he soon finds that somehow the
old haunts are changed. The old
friends are mostly missing and the rest
are not the same. He tells them his
wife is out of town and that he is in
for a weeks good time. They slap him
on the back, wish him great success
and-turn away. The sympathy of in

among men, Is gone. The names are
the same, the faces are the same, but
all else is different. He finds himself

defiantly on the furniture and imagines

At last, in despair, he goes to bed

changed, but that he has. He sees

was one Of "the boys" can no more be
recalled by him now than can the
years that divide them from him. He

from the sympathies, the customs, the
attentions. the companionship that have
become so important a part of his life.
