In this strenuous age, one some
times feels the need, not exactly of
IA medicine, but of good common
sense revitalizer and tonic. Wal
Their Peptonized Port is just such
tonic.
The port wine is a strengthener
in itself. and the pepsin, by aiding
digestion. enables one to get the
maximum amount of strength from
ones food.
1t strengthens in natural way
not by whipping the organs into a
forced activity. not by creating a
false feeling of strength through
nerve stimulation, but by actually
giving real strength. For sale by

Kafar King Accidentally Comes Face to Face with Love of His Youth and Becomes the Happiest
 of Mortals.

They met on the sands of the beach Aear the Cliff house in San Francisco last Monday. As children they had been sweethearts in America. He had drifted to South Africa and became a Kaffir king, a miner of fabulous wealth, and, incidentally, husband. But he never, forgot Anita Mallory, his California child sweetheart. He accu- mulated millions in the Rand. but he was not happy. His wife and he could not agree. She drifted away from him, and he got a divorce. Tn the far land of the neither realms of Africa, with all his wealth. with, all his power, Jim Burslem could neither buy nor sum- mon happiness. His dreams were of an American sweetheart, and last spring he came to America
 Tn New York he learned that his Anita had married a Los Angeles banker, Hugh Glassell, and in an aim less and yearning frame of mind the rich young widoWer set out for the Pacific coast. He had made up his mind that he would not seek out his old sweetheart of childhood, but he could not resist the temptation to re- visit the scenes of the early happiness of his boyish dreams. He went to San Francisco, got room in the Cliff house and. day after day, from his lonely window watched the seals sport ing on the rocks far out in the narbor.
 One day in the dining room he saw a young woman who recalled his childs hood. She was beautiful. dfstrait, lonely, and-she knew him. She smiled upon him. and in i've minutes. he was exchanging the experiences of 2 decade with the girl whose heart had been his for all that time. but whose life had been not less adventurous than his own. He learned that she, too, was alone in the world, her husband having

crossed the great divide, and left her a widow year previously. She had not forgotten the old, simple, guileless days of their childhood, nor had the years effaced or diminished the tender regard in which she held him. For half an hour they talked over the in tervening years, and then he said:
 Anita, we have both made our mis- takes. We are sorry, are we not? But let us quit grieving and start 1t all over again. Let's start right now. Let's be married.''
 A sympathetic hotel clerk summoned Deputy County Clerk Baker, who ac- companied the groom-to-be to the county clerks office, where the license was made out. Rev. John Rich, of the First Presbyterian church of Oakland, was summoned and within two hours after their meeting this lover and sweetheart of an old romance were made man and wife. Mrs. Glassell be- came Mrs. Burslem. and the delighted couple set out for St. Louis, whence they will go to New York, returning to the western coast to make their home in San Francisco.
 "I did not know that she had been married and she did not know that l had,'' explains MT. Burslem-Jim Burs- lem, the i-milHonaire of the veldt ''I had never forgotten her, and my own failures and disappointments had brought her memory back with re- newed affection and regret. Her story was so like mine; we met so unexpect- edly, we sympathized so readily and Sc sincerely that there seemed to be something fatefully happy in our re- union. I proposed marriage five min utes after knew her story She ac- cepted me promptly and we were mar ried within the hour.

FAYETTEVILLE.

The storm which prevailed We'd nesday night did more than a little damage in the village, greatly delay ing the progress of work on the new bridge by washing away the staging that was erected to construct the iron work of the bridge. The storm and the sand on the trolley tracks yesterday morning was the cause of derailing the first car, that is due in the village at 6:10 a. m., at the Cook street bridge, blocking the passage for over two hours. Between four and five hundred people who are em- ployed in the local factories and re- side in different parts of the city were obliged to walk from Cook street bridge to the factories, a dis tance of over half a mile, and more than one indulged in some indignant protests.
 To-night's events are as follows Dance under patronage of Veribesi Social club; prayer meeting at Grace M. E. church at 7:45; fire com pany meeting at 8 o'clock in Good will block; choir rehearsal at St Mi. chaels church at 7:3O: choir re A0dl Stai dt ot dui P ~ .oo.

Thomas H1tZS1mOnS and Wife in Dam
 gerous Place-Auto on Fire.
 A very distressing accident seemed inevitably imminent here yesterday afternoon about quarter past four, when an automobile, driven by A. Fitzsimons of the Novelty Manufactur- ing company of Waterbury and his wife, caught fire and became all ablaze. They were riding slowly by the New England hotel when car conductor cried out: Say, your machine is on fire!'' The occupants i'm mediately realized that the alarming words were addressed to them and coming to a standstill, alighted as quickly as possible. Indeed, the alarm, was not unfounded. The flames soon began to burst forth from all sides of the machine. x hat could be done? The -srning, Look out for an explo- sion," was h ard from the bystanders, who were mostly women. Mir Fitzsim- ons attempted to quench the flames with sand, but his efforts were futile; the blaze was .ecoming larger and larger Meanwhile Mrs Fitzsimons who stood at some distance. implored her h. sblnd to realize the danger, and abandon the automobile. Someone hinted to Mr Fitzsimons to push the burning machine into the pond near by. T hadn't dare" he replied, and reluctantly came away. For some lit tie ti na the handsome auto was left a helpless prey to the destructive ele- m"nt Tn. nsen ne was filled with twelve gallons of galoline just before the party loft Waterbury, and an ex- plosion of the reservoir would have had deadly effects on anyone approach ing it.

The effect of it was most satisfactory, and with a few pails of other water the dreaded fire was com pIetely put out.

When the man who took charge of it after the casualty was asked whether an l explosion was probable had the fire | been left burning, a few minutes long, CT, replied that it was certain.

LORD ROSEBERY AND "PRETTY
FANNY

In The London Times is a full re,
port of that famous debate in the
house of lords which ragged about the
word "calumny" and in which Lord
Rosebery astonished the other lords
by likening the premier to Pretty
Fanny" 1t was a painful scene. and
the mobiles, bishops, ct al, sat
stupefied. That terrible affair came
about in this wise: Lord Rosebery had
declared in a public address that Mr..
Balfour prepared two documents on
the free trade and protection cam
paign. One was on insular free trade,
which was published and widely cir
culated, and which, the noble earl
said, 1--WE have the priceless privilege
of purchasing" The other was a
private memorandum of the use of his
colleagues alone. and the noble earl
had alleged that the two documents
differed in essential particulars, in
timating that Mr.. Balfour had one
voice for the public and another for
his associates in the cabinet. Mr..
Balfour in replying to Lord Rosebery's
speech characterized his allegation
as "calumny" So it was that at 4:30
on March 10 the noble earl arose in
the house of lords and after gravely
explaining that he had fortified him
self by consulting the latest dictionary
definition of the word ''calupny' de,
manded to know of the marquis of
Lansdowne, government leader, what
defence or justification there was for
the premier's words. Then the
marquis replied and the whole thing
was thrashed out and worked over.
At about 5 the noble earl became
wrathy and said these very words:

Joan entered.
She was very pale and her lips

after the pause of second she came

The colonel stepped back with a

their heads.
'Will you not shake hands with

almost gentle as she said:
