His Eyes Opened

When Natalie Hall married Clarke
Dexter the people who prophesied that
she would not be happy were so
very much in the minority that no one
paid heed to them.
"Dexter's opinion of himself will
have to be whitfield down several
inches before he'll make any woman's
life what it ought to be- one man had
said.
But every one knew that the
speaker would gladly have stood in
Dexter's shoes, so he did not count
Nevertheless, not many months had
passed before a vague uncertainty be-
gan to grow in the heart of Natalie
Dexter, which, had the minority known
1T, would have caused them to exclaim
complacentiy, Il told you sol"
AS to Dexter while still very much
in love with his wife, he frankly ad-
mitted to himself that woman of
more penetration, in other words, one
more keenly alive to the rare intellect
ual qualities of Clarke Dexter, at
torney at Law, might have proved
more congeniAl companion
1t was a warm day in early summer.
After a hard five hours in court Dex-
ter assembled the steps of the pretty
suburban villa which he called home
somewhat before his usual time With
the jangle of the day still on his
nerves he dropped into low chair on
the piazza
Presently his own name reached him
as through haze Dexter opened his
eyes 1azily, realizing that for a mo-
ment he had been blessedly uncon-
scious.
But surely. dear, you and Clarke
are very happy"
The repeated question, coming
through an open window where the
air softly stirred some light draperies,
pricked him into complete wakefN-
ness. An aunt of his wife, who had
been to her as a mother, was visiting
them. Dexter recognized her voice.
He found himself listening intently
for the reply. 1t came gradually.
IF you mean do we get on. Aunt
Grace, / suppose we do, as well as
nine-tentks of the people we know.

But. my dear, that is different from

Dexter sat up, too annoyed to realize
that he was listening to a converse
ton not meant for his ears.
The fact is" Natalie Dexter
paused
What, dear?"
'It seems abominable to say, but
you are the only mother l have ever
known. There would be a greater
chance of happiness for Clarke and
me tiff something occurred to disil
lusionize him little with his own at
tainments."
Had Clarke Dexter walked against
a stone wall on a clear day he would
not have SO surprised as he was By
these words in his wife's voice

some right to feel complacent with his
attainments. Not yet so, and fast

The Question Answered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. 24th.-
Many questions are being asked of
Mr.. c. D. Holt of this place in regard
to his wonderful recovery. For over
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 condition he suddenly ap-
peared 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 l couldn't do anything
that needed STOPPING or bending over,
and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney

TRAGEDY OF The CAUCASUS


Peasant Murdered His Son sat the
Command of God"
In the village of Bayandour, in the
Caucasus, lives a man named Ivan
Aslamazoff, who a few weeks ago
started the community by cutting the
throat of his seven-months-old SON on
the threshold of the church He was
at once arrested and taken before .
Judge, whereupon he gave an extraor-
binary explanation of his conduct
A few years ago. he said, he was
very sick. and one night ST. John APP
peared to him in a dream and took
him into a valley, where he saw God
seated on a throne of gold The Al
mighty, he continued, then said to
him: Ivan, I will restore your good
health to you, but in time you Will
have a son, and as soon as he is sew
en- months old you must offer him up
as a sacrifice" Aslamazon said that
many times since then he had prayed
God to spare his son, but that. as the
Almighty made no response, he con-
sidered il his duty to sacrifice him.
His story made a great impression
on the people. and the general opinion
was that he had acted like saint and
that the authorities had no right to
arrest him.-New York Herald

Ex-sPEAkER REEDS FORTUNE.
His Literary as Well as Legal Work
Paid Him Handsomely.

Paid Him Handsomely.
The fact that the late Thomas B.
Reed left an estate of S431.0 after
all Indebtedness had been discharged,
was a matter of surprise to people
generally, writes William E. Curtis
in the Chicago Record-Herald. Mr..
Reed always pretended to be very
poor, but some of his intimate friends
were convinced long ago that his pow
erty was an affectation, because they
knew of large fees received by him
from time to time for legal services
aid literary work. He never wrote
a line or made a speech for nothing.
Each of the many articles which
from time to time appeared in the
magazines from his pen brought him
$500, and l know of one instance at
least in which he received 500 from
a New York newspaper for an inter-
view he prepared with himself upon
current topic. His lectures brought
him $500 a night, and occasionally in
large cities like New York and Boston
he received $1,000. The year be-
fore he left Congress he delivered
five lectures in one week, for which
he received a check for 81, 500.
He estimated his legal services at
a very high value, and unless his
clients made a bargain with him in
advance they were sure to be sur
prised when they received their bills.
There is a story that, while in Lon
don some years ago, he charged John
V. and c. B. Farwen of Chicago So, 900
for giving some information to their
English solicitor about the laws of
the United States bearing on the sale
of their Texas lands, and know
where he made life enemy of one
of his closest friends by sending him
bill for advice given on a legal
question in what was supposed to be
a friendly conversation
