many published cases in which anemla

well as nervous diseases, such as ner-

are commended to the public for their
efficiency in making new blood and
Strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they will be ac.
cepted by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.

EVIL OMENS DEFIED.
Brides Had More Courage Than the
Men They Married.
Boldly They Flew I'm the Face of All
the Superstttious of Our Grand
mothers-TOok a Bridegroom
from City jail.

Most young people contemplating
matrimony prefer 20 have good omens
for the eventful day. 1t may be that
they are not superstitious-no one real
ly is. Of course-but Just the same on
that day they prefer to have every
thing proceed auspiciously.
Even when the brioe and groom OBJ
ject to old snces and white ribbons
the bride will not only consent but
may ask for HANDFUL of rice, ''just for
luck"
1t Is certain that most brides would
refuse absolutely to be married on Fri
day. most of the small minority VINO
would not object to Friday would balk
at Friday. the 18th of the month.
1t happens. however, that some
young people have laughed at all the
terrors of such superstitions
In the first case it was the bride who
was courageous. Lemuel w. Morse, of
Bayonne. N. j., had fallen in love with
Miss Emma Johnson, Of Pensacola,
Fla, then on visit to the northern
town. 1t came time for her to go
home and Morse endeavored to pre-
vent II.
Its Friday" he said tits a bad
day for a railroad trip"

Johnson, laughing F

OF their friendship and acquaintance:

road trip. she could not object TO them

IL minutes after the hour. The groom
received Is cents in change from the
ticket agent. They carried exactly l3
pieces Of baggage and parcels. The
groom broke a mirror Intentionally,
and il there was any superstition they
did not brave it was because they did
not know OF Ii. Then they laughed
and departed on their honeymoon.
There were several other marriages
OF recent date in which the supersti-
tons were dared to do their worst

A CASE OF
VERTIGO D
BY j. c. PLUMMER

IT WOULD be just my blooming luck
to meet Mackay tonight" muttered
Capt. Duncan Strong, of the steamer
Talisman, as he walked unsteadily up
kbe street
An evening spent with fellow cap
tains. jovial and bibulous, is not con-
ducive to sobriety and. despite resolves
to the contrary, Capt, Strong left the
party drunk.
Most people would regard an &C.
easional lapse from sobriety as a mere
matter of a headache, brandy and soda
and brand new resolve, but II was not

gagged TO her Professionally. He had
promised to refrain absolutely from
ardent spirits and on this promise Miss
Grey had allowed herself to be eryag ed.
AS e private citizens actions are not of
international importance, 1t would seem
possible for Capt. Strong TO get drunk in
America and his dereliction not be
known to girl in England, but there
was Mackay.
Capt. Mackay, stern old temperance
advocate, secretary of the Seaman's
Blue Ribbon society, was Doris Grey's
uncle and guardian. 1t was Mackay
who had consented with a bad grace to
his niece's engagement on the promise
alluded to. and it was Mackay who
would instantly have II broken II the
promise was not kept His influence
over her was great and she was also an
enthusiastic temperance worker who
hated strong drink as fiercely as did her
uncle.

OF Capt Strong would bring him in
contact with Captain Mackay this very
