HER FIRST FAMILY FUNERAL.
Something Entirely New to the
Widow and 1t Made Her
Nervous.

The afternoon was hot and. sultry Every
passenger in the waiting train was moppine
his brow and wishing that the train would
hurry out of the station, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
TIE oppressiveness was made doubly. op
pressve by the entrance of woman in deep
mourning.
I'D think she'd melt under that hot veil, "
whispered one girl to another.
All eyes centered on the woman of sor.
row. TIE somberness of her garb made the
train seem almost sepulchral. But the worst
was yet to come. A man, VINO had been no.
ticed as her companion, had stopped at the
cooler to get drink. The woman quietly
arose, stepped into the aisle, and called to the
man:
Felix, don't forget the body. It'd be an
awful joke if the train got to Calvary and
him not aboard
Everybody in the car shuddered. Then
she turned to a woman sitting behind heI
and said:
Its my husband It's the first time
ever had ANYTHING to Go with this kind of g
thing and it makes me nervous"

Eskfmo Language.

Commander Peary, the arctic explorer,
was talking to small bunch of newspa-
per men at Saratoga not long ago and
they were asking him a number of ques-
tions about life in the extreme ATTITUDES,
of which he can talk most entertainingly.
Some one asked if he spoke the Eskimo
language, and he said he did. What's it
like" continued the questioner. For
instance, how would an Eskimo say Good
morning." HE wouldn't say it, replied
the commander, with slight smile. In
deed, and fare they so untutored in the
amenities of life!' Not at all, not at
all" the explorer explained. ''Y GU see. in

Empire State Express in Foot Bali.

The New York Central's Empire State
Express is recognized as the swiftest and
surest train operated by Americas greatest
railroad, and considered the very best means
to cover the ground in the tine required. 1t
is for this reason that the Harvard Uni
versity football team named their best and
surestplay of the season of 1902 the Empire
State Express" for they believed it to be
the most reliable play in their programme.
1t was successful throughout the season
until it met Yale's 10th Century Limited I"
play, which was just as swift, safe and sure,
but had longer endurance and was '.lmited''
only by the size of the field. The names of
tue rival teams very correctly describe the
difference in the famous trains, the Empire
State" running only from New York to
Buffalo, while the "20th Century Limited"
makes the $50 miles between New York and
Chicago in twenty hours every day of the
year. Great is the New York Central and
great ere the trains it operates-swift, safe
and reliable.-From the Brooklyn Standard
Union.

The Question Answered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug 24th-Many
questions are being asked OF Mr.. G. d. Holt
OF this place in regard to his wonderful re
covery. For two years he has been down with
his back. He was so very bad that he could
not even lace his shoes, and from this con-
dltion he suddenly appeared well and strong
as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his friends
are asking him How did you do it,"
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it, and adds This remedy is genuine
good medicine and one that l can heartily
recommend to everybody.
Everyone around here knows how very
bad | was. | was so weak in my back that
! couldn't do anything that needed stoop-
ing or bending over, and three boxes OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills made me as you see, as
well as ever | was"

Nothing is more refreshing or invigor-

soft, tepid water and good soap. Ivory
