at me for being a fool. What have you

from his pocket.

It was Rob's letter to his uncle. With
trembling fingers Elvin held it, and

Thirteen at Dlnnen

Here is a nice, creepy story told BY
the son Of Sir John Millais, says tho
New York Commercial Advertiser.
There was a dinner party at the Mil
lais house, and when all were seated
a lady tremuously observed that there
were thirteen at table. The painter
asked his son to dine in another room,
and he did so. When dinner was over,
no n seemed anxious to be the first
to rise, so Matthew Arnold, who was
one of the guests, suggested that he
and two stalwart undergraduates
should get up simultaneously. The
three men did so. Within a year each
of them was dead-Arnold by heart
disease, n OF the lads by suicide, the
other by drowning. But why did not
fate seize upon Mr.. Millais, who left
the table first, and by all the rules OF
superstition should have paid the for
felt with his life? Perhaps he was
spared because Of his amiability In
leaving the table to please the worthy
goose who called attention to the risk
they were all running.

THEIR OWN
Smokers Who Have Tobacco Compound
ed to Suit Their Tastes.

smokers VINO Have Tobacco Comp0unos
ed to Suit Their Tastes.
The young and inexperienced are
eve ready to smile ~incredulously at
the seasoned smoker who offers his
tobacco pouch with the remark, TRY
some of my own mixture" In some
cases my W mixture" may really
be only the smokers own" in the
sense that he has paid for q few
ounces of it, but in spite Of the copy
righted and much-advertised special
mixtures in these latter days, it seems
from what Il Of the most popular
downtown tobacconists says, hat the
habit of buying ones own exclusive
mixture" is not so extinct as might
be supposed, say the New York Trib-
une. Here is a list Of the special
mixtures we make" says this authors
ty, taking from a corner a large card.
you see, there are about fifty of them
On this card. Each mixture is noted
down, all the ingredients and the pro-
portions in which they are to be used,
and over each one is the name of the
customer who first ordered 1t. The
way of 1t is that a smoker makes his
experiments on different combinations
of tobacco until he hits upon some
thing which just suits him. Some
times he buys the ingredients and
mixes them himself, but people have
SO much to do nowadays that more
often they tell US what they want and
we do the mixing. 1t takes weeks
sometimes for a customer to get to
just the thing he is aiming at, and,
of course. it is all guesswork in tho
meantime. Rut you might be surprised
to know how long a man will go on
using the same mixture, once he has
found out what suits him. This first
name on the list does not belong to
longest; it comes first because the
list is alphabetically arranged, but
that recipe has been standing here for
ten years to my knowledge. It was
first ordered by an Englishman; his
name still goes with 1t and he Is still
using it, but scores of other people
also use it who have never heard Of
him. So. you see, 1t is possible for q
man to be using another mans par
ticular mixture and go on using It for
years, thinking it his own exclusive
mixture all the time. The way some
Of these mixtures gain popularity
shows that 1t isn't quite exactly true
that there are as many different tastes
as tongues, for sometimes what ex-
actly suits one man seems exactly to
suit a hundred others. When we find
a mixture becoming widely popular
but only rarely. And that, I suppose,
is how new mixtures get put on the
market"

THE OLDEST MAN in AMERICA
Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of Many winters
by Using Pe-ru-na.

In speaking of his good health ana o1-
IRENE old age, Mr.. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the worid az
long as | have, he ought to have found
out a great many things. by experience
l think l have done so.
zone of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for aiin1enfs that are
due directly to the effects OF tho
climate. For rs years I have
wifhstood the chargeable climate
of the United States.
II have always been a very healthy
a but of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temperature.
During my long life | have known q
great many remedies for coughs colos
and diarrhna.

Peruna, 1 have found it to be tho
best. If not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. II has
been my standby for many years,
and Iaftribufe nygood health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
ut exactly meets all my requirements:
1t protects me from the evil effects OF
sudden changes; it keeps me in good
appetite; it gives me strength i keeps
my blood in good circulation. l have
come to rely upon 1t almost entirely for
the many little things for which l need
medicine.
"When epidemics Of la grippe first
began to- make their appearance In this
country / was q sufferer from this dis
ease.
Ihad several long sieges with
the grip. At first I did not know
that Peruna was q remedy for
this disease. When I heard fhsf
Ia grippe was epidemic cafarrh, !
tried Peruna for Ia grippe and
found ii to be Just the thing"
In a later letter dated January 81, 1903,
Mr.. Brock writes:
II am well and feeling as well as !
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me is my sight. If l could see
better / could walk all over the farm and
it would do me good. I would not be

Long Deferred Explanation.

Years afterward the man who re-

his violin, which he played without
missing a note while the surgeons were
saving his leg off, was speaking of the
incident to a friend.

bravery out Of the affair."" he said.

"Why. since it became known-or
supposed, as this indicates-that Rob
Cleverdale was lost overheard and
drowned, old Horton has been so
broken In spirits that he can scarcely
attend to business. He had to have
someone lear him whom he could
trust-and that someone was myself.
More and more have l worked into his
confidence. OF late he has not been

marked your course in the matter from
the first, you have let him escape"
Perhaps no harm has been done.
You got the letter and no one else has
seen It,"
but II he sent one to Horton, why
not to the president or anyone else?"
