we quarreled over a trife and parted
for life. The wind seemed to sympa-

night, and hoped there was no one out

On opening the door l saw before me
a man with large basket on his arm
He set the basket down inside the
door and said: The letter will explain
everything, ma'am.' He then turned

lost to sight in the darkness.

You will not be expected to keep the
child for nothing, for remittance will

One day, about year after Arthur
and Elsie We're. married, Elsie, who
was exploring the attic, came across
an old market basket. Thinking it was
worthless she started to tear out the
lining. but in doing so a scrap of paper
tucked up under the rim caught her
eye. She pulled it out and glanced
over the contents.
1t was the other half of the note
that had been found In the basket the
night it was brought. The note was
from Miss Maywood's former lover,
saying that the child was his and ask
ing her to care for it for the old loves
sake, as he was dying and had no
relatives to send it to.

Republicans Make Gains in Ohio.
Legislature Hanna's.

Columbus, o., Nov. 4.-Shortly be-
fore midnight Chairman Dick announc.
ed that Mryon T. Herrick's plurality
for governor over Tom l.. johnson would
exceed $4,000. 1t is thought that the
Republican majority on joint ballot
will exceed "a.
Almost all the returns received were
froms the cities on which the usual
rate of gains or losses .ou,d not be def
nitely determined, but most OF them
made such Republican gains over their
vote of last April, with which COMPARE
sons could be made, as to indicate that
the drift was with the Republicans in
the towns even greater than in the rur-
al districts, where the Republicans
were gaining dozen to the precinct
over the vote of last year, when the
Republicans had a plurality of over
10000.

TO A WEE COQUETTE.

Wee lady, such tease thou art
One may not half believe thee.
l share Il corner of thy heart,
And yet thou wouldst deceive me;
For when | beg thee, little Flo,
To grant just one caress,
Thy pouting lips make answer "Now
The while thine eyes say Yes"
Wise men assure us that the heart
Is mirrored in the eyes;
In thine | read with lovers art
The truth thy tongue denies
So thou, my sweet, those eyes must close
Or yield to my caress,
For though you speak ten Thousand
"Noes!'
Thine eyes still answer "Yes!'

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Robbed the Grave of 500 Victims in
Wichita Alone.

In looking over the books recording the
city sales of their Lopez Specific in the
last two years. the manager of the Lo-
PEI Remedy company says he finds they
have sold over 1000 bottles in Wichita
alone. This represents about 500 cures
of that dreadful disease, contagious and
hereditary blood poison. They figure 500
cures have been made from these sales
alone, as quite a number have used only
one bottle, and but a very few more than
four, and only rarely more than two
bottles to one customer. Another re-
markable fact is they have never been
called upon to refund a single dollar. OF
course many of these sales were made to
parties while visiting in the city and tax
en- home with them, and the results are
that they are daily expressing this rem
edy to different parts of the United
States. Their remedies are used in every
state and territory.
Ihe reporter for the Eagle was startled
to learn of the many different forms this
dread disease develops into and to learn
that it exists In every degree of society.
There is scrofula, paralysis, catarrh,
rheumtism, sore eyes, headache and a
long train of these diseases that are in
herited. and the victims little dream of
the danger they are in. These remedies
are on sale in many of the best drug
stores or can be had by express by writ
ing the Lopez Remedy Co, enclosing s.. 90
for each bottle desired, as many are do
ing every day
