A GENIUS CT PEACE.
Deliberately Lost His Position to De-
feat His Wife's Seaside
Vacation Plans.

DO you see that seedyloolling chap
sitting on that bench over there?"
You mean the one with fringe on
his trousers, tassels on his elbows, and
open-work shoes?"
That's the one. Well, sir, he is the
most ingenious man in this big city
ut doesn't seem to do him much
good" replied the other, writes Alex
Ricketts,, in the New York Times.
Don't, Ell? Why, sir, it's preserved
his happy home to him, even if he does
owe the butcher, and the landlord and
the grocer, and everybody else. He
alone has succeeded in doing what
every man in this town, not to speak
about the country at large, would give
most anything to do. If true merit
and ability cut any ice with our be-
loved government he'd be at the head
OF affairs this minute. Why, with his
marvellous sagacity and miraculous
success as COMPROMISED we'd never
hear Of any friction between this coun-
try and every other. Never, sir, and
with no loss Of dignity, either. Well,
sir, I believe that man could keep
peace in an old ladies' home"
whats he done that's SO wonder
fu1?"
''Why, he and his wife had the usual
argument this spring that disrupts
every family in the land. She was
bound and determined to spend his va
cation at the seaside, and he gently
but firmly insisted upon going to the
mountains. You know the rest. They
argued the matter they disputed about
it, they squabbled over it, and they
quarreled. Neither would give in. The
breach between them grew wider and
wider. It became a point Of honor
with each to prevail. They became
more and more bitter. Reconciliation
seemed out of the question. And then,
sir, when that chasm seemed unbridge-
able, that mans superhuman ingenuity
came to the rescue. Profound peace
fell upon the battlefield, ecstatic bliss
succeeded strife, and deliricus happi-
ness reigned again in that home, and
the children could eat their meals
without spending half the time dodg-
ing dishes"
''Huh, suppose he gaze in to her.
That's no trick. Every man does
that"
''No, sir That would have left rank
ling wounds, fostering bitterness and
horrid memories to the defeated But
he arranged it all so that neither was
defeated, neither was victorious"
Impossible. But how?"
"He went, sir, deliberately to work
and lost his position. So they couldn't
afford to go to any place. Now, wasn't
he wizard to think Of that?"

into fawns. Any color may be worn
provided it is mixed with lace Lace,
as [ have before told you, forms the.
chief feature of the seasons frocks
fancy the finer makes will gain the
day little later on, except, of course,
for linens and hopsacks, for which
fabrics there are special coarse makes
Of Torchon embling the old Italian
designs. Some of these coarse laces
look most effective as trimmings on
serge and cloth frocks, run through
with gold and silver thread.
Both of the models shown in the
illus trations are from Paris. One Is In
pervenche cloth, with insertion of rose
pink panne velvet with fine Venetia q
point. With it is worn an attractive
picture hat. The other is an Ella borate
affair in light tan cloth.
Some of the picture hats are quite
fiat, while others boast Of the high,
jam-pot crown. There is a good deal
to be said in favor of both, but think
over here we prefer the f1atter kinds.
Very simple indeed. are the trimmings
of these hats. Long ostrich plumes
are never out Of fashion, neither are
wreaths of superb flowers; and just
now ribbon rosettes and cockades,
mostly knife killed, are quite a fea-
ture. These, by the way, are easier to
make in a stiff ribbon; MORE is very
effective and so is striped Pompadou,
ribbon.

IN VIOLET TIME.

A bunch Of violets, dusk and sweet,
Bought in busy London street,
And wet with April rain:
Back, back the waves of memory flow
To one dear haunt of long ago:
a blossom scented lane.
And there, beneath dropping tree,
With smiling lips, she waits for me
The maid I love the best.
Her hair has caught the sunset-light;
She wears a gown of softest white,
With violets at her breast.
And talk as none but lovers talk.
While time unheeded flies.
The gold light fades, the sun is set,
Twill soon be dark; and yet, and yet
There's sunshine in her eyes.
The moon climbs high above the thatch,
We hear a softly lifted latch,
A distant clock strikes nine!
Then, 'twixt the silver and the gray,
"A bunch Of violets finds it way
From her warm heart to mine
All, love! your flowers died long ago.
Spring, summer, autumn-fell the snow
Ger countryside and town;
But often in my dreams see
"A little maid who smiles at me,
With violets in her gown
Fate willed that from those far-off days
Your feet should tread the quiet ways,
And mine the nOiSier street;
Yet when I hear a f1ower-girFS cry
IT'S for your sake I stop and buy
Her violets dusk and sweet.

dainty linen coats fo- little girls. One
of these is made in mauve linen with

the number of distinctly Partisan
models worn, fact which bespeaks
the passing of the patriotic sentiment
which we women were wont to show
during and just after the war with
Spain. But this year, more than for
a number of years, Paris is again the
vogue, and many of the handsomest
models are Partisan productions.
On the avenue light cloth gowns and
spotted foulards were much in evil

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe.ru.na

Catarrh Of the Stomach Is Generally

These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat
Of the Difficulty, Which Is
Really Catarrh.

EX. Y. S. Senator NJ. G. Butler from

that state for two terms. In u re-
cent letter TO The Pcruna Medicine Co.,

"!can recommend Peruna for dys.
pepsia and stomach trouble. I have

The only rational way to cure dyspep.
sia is to remove the catarri,. Pcruna
cures catarriI. Pcruna does not produce
artificialdigest;on. I~tcures catarrh aud
lcavcsthc stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better

catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Pcruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Pcruna IS not simply n remedy for
