The Complexion In Summer.

The maiden who tans becomingly Is
a hard thing to find, while as for those
who blister and burn on the slightest
provocation their name is legion. It
is well for the ordinary woman, there
fore, to forego her desire for healthy
tan and take little care of her COM
plexion. Powder is great protection
against the ravages of the weather and
above all things, the face should not
be washed with soap and water at the
conclusion Of an outing. Peeled noses
and blistered cheeks are almost certain
to result from such treatment. In
stead cleansing cream should be lib
orally applied. If soap must be used,
the mildest OF paste soaps should be
selected, with little borax in the
water, and good skin food should
be rubbed in the skin afterward.-Chi-

The spanisb ScbooI-Teacher.

The teacher of any land may be
overworked. He may suffer from the
parsimonious policy of the powers
and be underpaid, even in our own
enlightened country. But in few coun-

States, could such story as the one
which follows be truthfully told.

He could prick an bust with ease
If he'd only stop his kickin'
Bout his luck an git to work,

Round the man that's on the shrk-
Only makes the matter wuss
Fur to loaf around and cuss.
In word despairin' brother,
When the clouds obscure your sun,
You must do Just one or t'other-
You must make fight or run.

If you stand you'll land on top
Run an you will git it plenty
Where the chicken got the chop,
An the world will hustle by
Your remains without a sigh

CHAPTER XII.

EaTly the next morning when
Warde went to his room the landlady
Informed him that Franklin and a
companion had been there at three
O'Clock IN the morning seeking him.
He qu1eted her evident fears for his
safety and then admired his saoacity
in taking a room at the hotel that
night.
Now ne began to find the possession
OF that paper a nightmare He knew
that tremendous pressure and re
sources, which he could not antici-
pate, would be brought to bear to
wrest 1T from him, and thus prevent
its BENG used to save the Wright es-
tate; tor the perusal of the paper
which Hillsman had handed him salts
fed him that he held a safeguard
against the plot that had been laid to
steal fortune. He began to have
an mixing OF the nature of the COM
blnat1on which had been formed, and
he was much concerned lest the paper
when was worth so much to the
Wr1ghts should be in some way filched
from him. He felt that he was maxi
ing this fight for Miriam, and he wa,
doubly concerned over the result. He
knew that the paper meant home and
fortune to her; it meant also perhaps
the happiness that had been so long
denied her; and it would secure the
triumph of justice over deliberate
villainy. -' 80
Of course plans would be at once
laid to recover the paper, and Irving
OWNED the necessity Of putting it inn
mediately out of reach of the con-
spirators.
1t was eight o'clock, and Mr. Ev-
erett was just sitting down to his
breakfast.
Irving reached the house Just at
this time, and when he was announced
the lawyer finished his meal in hur~
ry and at once led the way to the
library. Here the story was soon told
and the paper handed over to the
lawyer, who locked it up in his safe.
Now" said he, Il must leave for
the courthouse, as l have case at
nine o'clock. Can you come here to-
night?"
Yes
''Well, come about eight o'clock.
And during the day avoid Hillsman if
you can, and if you run across Frank
lin bluff him out. | don't want to
see you about my Office, either"
suppose they should ask me for
that paper?'
why, remember that you were ON
spree last night, and your recollec-
ton of anything that happened is
very indistinct. You will not be much
annoyed by Hillsman to-day, for it
will take him some time to sleep off
last nights experience. Be on your
guard against Franklin, and do not
give him any satisfaction"
AS a matter of precaution, the two
men separated at the gate to prevent
if possible anyone from knowing that
they lad met. Irving took round
about way, and as he passed cor
ner not far from Mr.. Everett's resi-
dence he observed a man leaning idly
against lamp post. The mans APP
pearance was strangely familiar, even
though he wore patch over his eye.
Irving could not stop to dissect his
makeup, and it was not until he had
got three or four blocks away that
his memory responded, bringing back
that dreadful experience on the river,
and he recalled the powerful physique
and cat-like tread of Old Tom. AS
soon as he made that discovery he
retraced his steps, but his antagonist
of the river had gone.

per. This wrapper had been widely
advertised, and was a good thing to
catch the eye in a candy counter.
The defendant had got up a pretty
close imitation; at a distance it
looked the same, although the words
were different, and nothing was
copied except the general appearance,
which is, for advertising purposes,
half the value of distinctive label.
''The opposing counsel made out a
pretty good case, showing that in
wording, the shape of the letters and
other points his clients wrapper was
different from the plaintiffs.
"Why,' he said, picking up one
wrapper and showing it to the jury,
would anyone mistake this wrapper
for that of the plaintiff? See he con-
tinued, reaching down for the other,

he had them. He paused at my in

them himself, and picked up my
clients wrapper first. 1t took two

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
Mr.. ROckefeIler's Offer Should Be
Warning To Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative to
John ID. Rockefeller's offer of million
dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionairew was too busy
to worry about the condition ofhis stomach.
He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad
toworse until in the end ii becameincurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning to
others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia for
a few years will give everything he owns
for a new stomach.
There are twenty million men and women
suffering with dyspepsia--twenty million
men and women whose stomachs are wear
ing out.
There are no new stomachs for sale at
any price.
We offer these sufferers the next best
thing. We guarantee to make their old
stomaehs almost as good as new.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal state
Of the gastric juices. There is one element
missing. The absence Of this destroys the
function of The gastric fluids. They lose
their power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the missing
element to restore to the gastric juices
their digestive power, and to make the
stomach strong and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
viii positively ard permanently cure. We
want you TO try them and will return your
money if you are not more than satisfied
with the result.
Price Is cents. Only at our store, or by

MAYOR or 4 DEATH HOUSE
Powers OF A. T. Patrick, n Prisoner
at Sing Sing.

Powers OF A. T. Patrick, Prisoner
at sing Sing.
Albert T. Patrick, condemned for the
murder Of William NJ. Rice Of New
York, was reelected mayor of the
death house in Sing Sing prison the
other day. says the New York World,
His second term Of service is to begin
from Jan. /. There IS absolutely no
appeal from his rulings.
There are nine prisoners confined In
the death house, but only eight votes
were cast. Policeman William II. En-
mis- Of Brooklyn, under sentence Of
death for wife murder, refused to par
ticipate in the balloting.
Patrick, being a lawyer, is looked
upon by his fellow unfortunates as
their proper leader. Not only has he
prepared his own case for the court OF
appeals, but he has aided the other
condemned men ia their efforts to Sc
cure new trials. All questions Of i'm
portanee are referred to him. and be
passes upon them just as a city magis-
trate would under other circumstances.
"A chief executive Of the death house
is elected for one year, but ia the event
Of the removal of the mayor another
election is made necessary. Patrick's
first term was what is commonly cali
ed an unexpired one. He succeeded
Arthur Flanagan, who killed a keeper
in the west side prison and who was
put to death last spring Even dur
ing Flanagan's administration Patrick
was the chief adviser. and he prepared
Flanagan's letters Of appeal TO Gov
ernor Odell. The appeals were SO
strong that Flanagan obtained two
weeks respite.
The powers Of the mayor Of the
death house are great. If>two Of the
inmates want to play checkers it Is
necessary for all the others to be quiet.
In case the majority should object to
game the question is referred to the
mayor, whose decision is final Abso-
lutte silence is necessary, because the
two persons playing do not see each
other, nor can they play on one board.
Each has board marked on paper ii
his cell, and the moves are called OF
across the hall 1t is the same with

ed in now and then, but only when the
mayor permits. All matters Of etiquette
and all points Of law are passed upon
by him.

mayor, but he withdrew from the race
