A Barber's Story
THE IDEA A TRAVELLING MAN PUT
 INTO HIS HEAD.
STATEMENT THAT NONE BUT sKEP- TICS WILL QUESTION.

Aninteresting story is told of how good fortune came to barber in De- yer, N. J. Hulet Seybold, IT,, the man in question, who lives at No. 4 Fairview avenue, vOucheS for it's truth and relates his experience as follows:
 "AbOut two years ago." he says, "1 began to run down in health, my StOm- ach refused to do it's work, food would not digest, gas formed, became con- stipated, lost appetite and grew so ner- vOuS as to interfere with my work. l also became bilious and felt tired all the time. It was severe case of ner- vous dyspepsia and I almost deSpaired of ever getting well.
 "ThrOugh the recommendation of a travelling man began to take Dr Will liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and in a very short time could see that they were doing me good: A few box. es cured my trouble and have had no return of it since. My wife is now taking this remedy with excellent re- sults.'
 What Dr Williams Pink Pills did similarly afflicted as is proved by thou sands of cases on file. pr Williams Pink Pills cure stomach trouble by their tonic action, building up the di gestive organs and enabling them tC do the work that nature intended them to do.

in which he has recently found himself but we
cannot forbear a smile on reading the reports
OF the trial TO which he has been submitted. He
wrote Il novel called "In Little Garrison

mander. Won Kronau. and described him as
''mean, uEeducated. taCtless and cowardly, with
vulgar features and crooked legs" This deplOr-
able warrior is represented being put in
degrading situation by other characters in the
book. themselves sufficiently unedifying. Now
q certain major at FOrbach has risen up to de-
clare that he sees himself in the character of
Won Kronau and fellow officer of his claims
that he and his wife are obviously the originals
of the pair in the book who disgrace themselves
in many ways, finally committing suicide Lieu
tenant Oswald Bse has been carried into court
and there has been a terrible uproar over his
conduct as an author He is accused of having
most extensively caricatured all the officers Of
the garrison, with the exception of himself and
n single personal friend. He has protested that
he had no intention of insulting his comrades.

THE BOOK HE DIDN'T WRITE.

Count Leo TolstOi recently told an in
terviewer an amusing incident which
had occurred during his last stay in the
Crimea. A rich American arrived in
his yacht, accompanied by a party of
friends, and asked permission to see
the great Russian, promising that they
would be content with a glimpse and
would not trouble him with talk. Leave
was granted. Tolstoi sat upon his ball
cony, like Buddhist IDOL" as he said,
and the whole party of Americans de-
filed slowly and silently before him,
taking their gaze as they passed. One
woman, however, refused to be bound
by the contract. She stood still for a
minute, and shouted, Leo Tolstoi! Leo

had a profound influence upon my life,
