PROPOSED TO A SENATOR.
Lonely Widow Makes Plea for Posi- tion of Sacred Trust in

One western senator, whose name was mentioned in recent list of eligible widowers and bachelors of the senate, has received an application from the state of Kansas. The lady puts the mar ital proposition in q very frank manner, all of which she probably justihes be- cause t.,is IS leap year, says a Washington exchange. She writes:
 Dear Senator-. read you are one of the widowers 6l The senate who would more than likely be the one who would be nexC'te get married
 "Now. l write you this to ask you, if you are not engaged to any lady. If you would consider myself as a candidate for that sacred trust 1 am a widow, 56 years old, and should like a good and loving husband, one l could love and trust. find life too lonesome to live without good man.
 You may think this very impertinent in me to write you. but l assure you l am no adventures only one who is so lonely, and there are no eligible men in this town.
 "I will wait with patience your an swer; then I will tell you more of myself and who l am
 The senator's response to this tender missiye was written by his secretary. who is an unfeeling man and fully capable of slamming the door in the face of hope.

JUSTICE FOR A USURER
Novel Judgment Entered by English Jurist Against Debtor - Adopt
 ed Small Payment" Plans.

In all lands the usurer is held in contempt and people of all classes in- wardly ehuelle when one of the class gets the worst end of bargain. An English paper records a peculiar de- cision in the suit of a usurer against a poor woman. The man had lent the woman money in such a way that it was to be paid in installments and with monthly usurious interest. ThS woman was unable to pay the amount due
 The judge satisfied himself that the woman was honest and honorable and that what she had already paid in in stallments would cover the original loan and a reasonable interest.
 Will you accept e5 in Gischarge?" asked the judge of the plaintiff; you will then have had ten per cent. on the loan"
 The plaintiff would accept nothing less than the full amount to which the law entitled him.
 Then" said the judge. although I cannot invalidate the agreement, can make an order which. think, will fit the case. give judgment for the full amount, to be paid at the rate of six pence month"
 This was the "installment system" with a vengeance, for at this rate of payment the usurer would be 75 yeara in getting his money.

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of this life, its big enJoyments and its smaller comforts, there IS an offset or antlthesls which we have to contend with in the form of aches and pains. In some way and by some means every one has a touch Of them Ill some form at some time Trifing as some of them may be, the risk is that they will grow to something greater and rack the system with con stant torture. There Is nothing, there. fore, of this kind that we have a right to trifle with. Taken Tn time, the worst forms of aches and pains are easily sub dued and cured by the free use of St. Jacobs Oil No well regulated household ought to be without bottle of this great remedy for pain. 1t Is the specific virtue of penetration in St. Jacobs Oil that carries 1t right to the pain spot and effects prompt cure even in the most painful cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia Sciatica, Lumbago. | ou want it also in the house at all times for hurts, cuts and wounds, and the house that always has 1t keeps up sort of insurance against pain.

The School Principal Talks About
 Food.

The Principal of a High School in ilourishing Calf. city says:
 For 23 years worked in the school with only short summer vacations. formed the habit of eating rapidly, masticated poorly which coupled with my sedentary work led to indigestion, liver trouble, lame back and rheuma- tism.
 Upon consulting physicians som doped me with drugs, while others pre- seribed dieting and sometimes go temporary relief. other times not. For F years struggled along with this handicap to m. work, seldom laid up but often a burden to myself with lameness and rheumatic pains.
 Two years ago net an old friend, a physician who noticed at once my out-of-health condition and who pre- seribed for me aa exclusive diet of Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit.
 "l followed his instructions and in two months felt like a new man with no more headaches, rheumatism or liver trouble and from that time to AAAAS NJ --NhAS AAAo bASA4 lLs dIH food for morning and evening meals, am stronger and healthier than I have been for years without a trace of the old troubles.
 Judging from my present vigorous physical and mental state tell my people Methuselah may yet have tc take second place among the old men, for I feel like will live a great many more years.
 ITO all this remarkable change in health I am indebted to my wise friend and Grape-Nuts and hope the Postum Go, will continue to manufacture this life and health giving food for several centuries yet, until I move to a world where indigestion is unknown" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich
