STRANGE Cures for Diseases.

It is remarkable how strongly and
persistently the belief in the efficacy
of charms for the cure of various dis
eases still obtains in some foreign
countries. An English writer vouches
for the truth of this story: "A Corn
ish farm bailiff went to see some of
his masters cattle. A friend who hap
pened to be with him noticed that one
of the beasts was ailing. He asked
why his friend allowed this and was
told that a cure involved very long
process of treatment, whereupon he
proceeded to charm the afflicted ami
NAL, which, strange as it may seem,
was completely cured within about a
couple of days. This same 'magician'
also told his friend that if he hap
pened< to kill pig by cutting it's
throat he could stay the flow of blood
without going near it,

The upshot of 1t aaa was that the
two bridal couples spent their honey
moons in the West instead of the East,
and as an incident thereto Tom was
compelled to shave his entire beard
and to promise newer to wear one
again, while Jack was compelled to
enter an equally solemn promise to
mis- bride never to shave his beard.

Jennings Bride.
BY WILLIAM WENDHAM.

copyright. 1902. by Daily Story Pub. Co3
1t all happened because Jennings
concealed it. from Laura that JACK, MS
brother, was his twin, and 1urtner
that they resembled each other so
closely that their nearest friends could
not tell one from the other unless they
were seen together, and then 1t was
very doubtful. So near alike had these
two young men been all their lives
that in infancy their own mother had
been compelled to mark them so she
could tell them apart-which was Tom
and which was John. 1t was re-
semblance which went far beyond the
physical. They acted alike, they ges-
tured alike, their manner1sms OF
movement and speech were alike, they
thought alike. They had always read
the same books and deduced therefrom
the same thoughts. All their theories
of life and philosophy were alike
save only one. Tom was fond OF fair
haired, blue-eyed girls, while Jack
raved after brunettes of the most
vivid type.
So it had come to pass that Tom,
sent to the West on q long business
mission, had wooed and won dainty
Laura Maynard and they were on
their honeymoon when the catastrophe
happened. Jack had found it impos-
.sible to be present at the wedding,
two thousand miles distant for one
reason among others, that he was to
be married himself within week Of
the day set for the Jennings Maynard
nuptials. Then it was that the broth
ers~ had resolved, with one accord,
after an elaborate exchange of tele-
grams, that it would be good thing
to give both brides a surprise and
meet at the same watering place for
the respective honeymoons. This re-
.Quired considerable finesse for two
men without the aid of feminine
head, especially when the matter in
volved so important "a part OF two
weddings. But they succeeded by
hook or crook, and Tom triumphantly
carried off his golhen-haired beauty
far across the continent to seaside
hotel of great fame and there installed
her in palatial bridal suite, while he
waited with much echuckling for the
appearance of Jack and his bride.
With ;all this detailed explanation
you can easily guess how it turned
out and you really cannot blame Laura
for her hasty and somewhat radical
action.
Everything had been going 80 lovely
that Laura seemed to be in veritahle
,fairyland and feared each moment
that she would awaken and find it all
"a dream I'm this frame of mind she
