Made Hsr Account Goo...

1t was only dainty little note from
a woman deposition, but it caused a
gentle ripple of merrifnent among the
accountants and tellers of an uptown
bank. The institution caters to wom-
en,and the president has often remark
ed that the women depositors were in
some respects more careful in their
business methods than the men. A
few days ago the discovery was made
that the account of one of the women
depositors had been overdrawn a few
dollars. The usual notification in such
cases was sent to the depositor, with
the request that the account be made
good. A prompt and polite reply was
received from the delinquent. She
apologized for the overdraft, thanked
the bank officers for informing her of
the fact so courteously-and inclosed
her check on the same bank for the
amount of the overdraft. It is needless
to say that an explanatory note was
sent to this depositor reminding her
that an overdraft was not a credit to
be drawn upon.-New York CONNER

Not only was Rob received with en-

.Ayres. The president gave him q gold
medal. on which was the date and the
story of the valuable services Rob had
rendered the government. The BLACK

eminent, and the president used his
influence, and this was also given to
Rob. It wasaa very handsome little

and Mr.. Horton accepted 1t for Rob,
and at once placed q reliable crew
on it. \,
!. Many good sail has Rob had on
that schooner since that day, and
many stirring adventure has he had
while of on business for Mr.. Horton.
Mr.. Horton is delighted with Rob's
quickness in grasping the details OF his
large business enterprises. and there
is no doubt that If Rob lives, he will
be not only true, brave man, but. .

Ancient Conss Houses,

The coffee house ia every nighs

Connoisseur. Almost every one you
meet is polite scholar. and wit.
Jokes and bonmots are echoed from
box to box; every branch of nature is
critically examined and the merit OF
every production of the press or per-
Torrance at the theaters weighed and
determined. This school-to which
am myself indebted for great part OF
my education, and in which, though
unworthy, am now arrived at the
honor of being public lecturer-has
bred up many authors, to the amazing
entertainment and instruction of their
readers. Buttons, the grand archetype
of the Bedford, was frequented by Adj
Olson, Steele, Pope and the rest of that
celebrated set who flourished at tina
beginning of this century and was re.
garded with Just difference on account
of the real geniuses who frequente1
it. But we can now boast men of SUI:
perior abilities-men who, without any
one acquired excellence, by the nero
dint of happy assurance, can exact
the same tribute of veneration and re.
ceive it as due to the illustrious char
acters, the scribblers, layers, fiddlers,
gamblers, that make so large part OF
the company at the Bedford.

Boiling Our Food.

There is undoubtedly great deal to
be said in favor of the opinion that a
considerable portion of the illness in
this country is caused by the unpleas-
ant habit of eating too rapidly. Of
coure we all know, and have at times
a very painful experience of, the fact,
that this is high-pressure age, and
all is done at express speed, but this
surely ought not to be the case with
our meals. 1t is interesting, but not
pretty, to watch the business man
when he goes into restaurant for his
luncheon. 1t is with him looked upon
in the light Of duty and not a
pleasure. He must eat, and he feels
that he has only few minutes to de-
vote to the operation, so that he may
be back at his Office with all possible
speed. He attacks his food savagely,
gulps down his beer or wine, and when
the last sad rites are over he pays and
bolts-in fact, it Is a case of boiling
from beginning to end. Every doctor
will tell you that people should eat
slowly, and occupy the time pleasantly
with conversation. In this way we
shall live longer and enjoy better
health and greater ability to cope with
the world.

announced that two persons wanted to
see him on important business. He
went into the wide hall where the

'Those who are with me to the

Less than half the crew obeyed. There

''This U.s. mutiny!" yelled Starne at
those who stood by Rob. II win have

Back In the group there was one Of

quite an intelligent face. He had as
yet said nothing. In reply to Starne's
last threat this man stepped forward.

"Then take this!" said Starne, firing

The ball took effect in his arm, and
he uttered shout of rage; In an in
slant half dozen shots had been fired.
Several of the crew were wounded.
And Lemuel Starne lay writhing on
the deck.
1t was over in an instant. The crew
as If suddenly bethinking itself OF
what it was doing, stopped and looked
at Rob.

avoided. This man is a wicked man.

spoke of, it is as dead as Torrevo, dead

rolled down his cheeks. He was so
glad to see Rob alive that he even
overlooked his statement about Lemuel
Starne.
L have important news for you,"
said Rob. Il want to see Aunt Anita
and Cousin Elsie, then 1 want to tell
you something"
The earnest air of the young fellow
Impressed Mr.. Horton, and he led the
way to the dining room. The in
spector, readily seeing that there was
nothing for him to do there, had the
grace to depart.
Rob was greeted with overwhelming
caresses by his aunt and cousin, who
had expected-before they heard he
was drowned-to see a childish boy,
over whom it would be necessary to
keep constant watch. Here was a
manly young fellow come to them aft
er strange adventures-not to be
watched over, but to save them and
the government.
Rob soon told his story, and his UNI
Gle hurried him off to see the president.
Rob soon told his experience, and
was listened to with great eagerness.
An officer in uniform was called in,
and the story was told to him.
Rob went home with his uncle, and
they sat up late that night listening to
his recital. over and over again, of his
adventures with Starne and Elvin,
and on board the BLACK Cat
What panied them most was to learn
that Lemuel Starne, the man whom
they had trusted, and who had almost
succeeded in winning the regard Of
Elsie, was such villain. 4,t
Rob told his uncle Of the promise he
had made to the crew Of the BLACK
Cat" and Mr.. Horton assured him that
it would be suhstantiated by the presi-
dent.
There was little need Of proceeding
to any extent to identify Rob, for Mr..

clans have accepted Dodd's Kidney
Pills as the; standard remedy for dis
eases of the Kidneys and kindred
complaints. r. H. Dunaway, NJ. D.,
of Benton, ILL.,, says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me Of
Diabetes after everything else had
failed and l was given up to die. I
have since prescribed them in my
regular practice for every form of
Kidney Trouble, and have never as yet
known them to fail"
Jesse L. Lines. M. D., st. John,

II prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills
for the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Mcbride Of this place, who suffered
from Epileptic fits following Scarlet

the remedy that relieves and cures my
patients, whether ethical or not, and
I always prescribe Dodd's Kidney
Pills and can testify that they in

shot. If they should by any chance,
win, what can you expect-after this?
You will be shot by either side. Now,
II you stand by me, and sail this
schooner to Buenos Ayres, l promise
you not only safety, but money besides.
My uncle Is rich. When I tell him
what has been done, the government
must know it also. You will come in
for reward. The smuggling counts
for nothing. You are going to save
the government. You will be rewarded
for that, and all else will be forgotten.
What do you say?"
Some of the crew understood all of
this, some little, and few none at
all. But they talked rapidly among
themselves. Those who had stood by
Rob had the best of the argument
Those who had been with Starne saw
their leader lying on the deck-prob-
ably dying. What could he do for
them? They gave in, and joined Rob's
half.

low who had been shot in the arm.

uncle we all good men. No one get in

"Not one of you," said Rob. "Hur-
rah! Now see to these fellows who are
wounded. Then let's get to Buenos
Ayres."
In short time the "Black Cat" was
swung around, and went speeding up
the river. Rob was, of course, not
able to give any orders to navigate the
vessel, but he felt that the crew could
be trusted. He had frightened them
when he spoke as if the letter to Mr..
Horton had not been the only letter he
wrote giving the plot away to the gov

A young Viginian says: Having

but finally the strain began to tell.

Twas eight years old, nearly 20 years.
"The work Of operating the tele-

nerves, and after the days work was
over would feel nervous, irritable,
run down, and toward the last suffer
ed greatly from insomnia and neural
gia. AS never INDUCED in intoxi-

that coffee and tea were causing the
gradual breakdown Of my nervous

the system, wasffully convinced that
coffee was the cause of my trouble.

OF coffee l decided to give up the
