amounted to more than II cents was
fortunate enough to receive a legacy
OF 600 plunks. AS he was figuring on

at the Waldorf as Count FolderOg, an

An Unhistoric Landmark.

When Justin H. Smith visited the towns along the Kennebec River in endeavoring to trace exactly Arnold's march from Cambridge to Quebec, he inquired everywhere for traditions and especially for relics. In his book he gives this incident as a result of one such inquiry:
 Near the point where the army left the Kennebec are four or five acres of cleared ground and two small farm houses. Mir. Smith inquired of the ven erable proprietor of one of these places if there were any evidences in the vicinity of Arnold's march through the country.
 "Oh, yes," replied the old man, "there used to be big rock in my mowing-feld, with B. D. A. on it; but the old thing was in the way, and l blasted it out"
 "What did those letters mean, 'B. D. A.T" asked MT. Smith.
 "Why, Bennie Dick Arnold, of course"

Lesson For Women.

Jersey Shore, Pa.,. Sept 26 (Special) -"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for me-" That's what Mrs. c. B. Earnest, of this place, has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy.
 "I was laid up sick," Mrs. Earnest continues, "and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then 1 began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and now l am so I can work and go to town with out suffering any. l would not be without Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 have good reason to praise them every where"
 Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson is, "cure the kidneys with Dodd's Kid ney Pills and your suffering will cease." Woman's health depends al- most entirely on her kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet failed to make healthy kidneys.

Bad Man Rebuked.

Roy Rolfe Gilson is fond of telling of little scene which he once wit messed at Poughkeepsie.
 q was coming out of the side door of the postofiice," he says, "and mo- ticed a little girl just ahead of me. She was perhaps 5 or 6 years old, chubby and red-cheeked, and clearly well able to take care of herself.
 Right across the narrow street was the county jail. AS the girl stepped on the sidewalk she slipped and fell forward, her hands spatting on the aagstones rather smartly. A prisoner standing at a barred window of the jail set up loud, derisive laugh. h. stantly the girl was on her feet, her face aflame. Turning toward the jail she shook her little first, and cried in a voice vibrant with righteous indig- nation:
 "'Shut up, you old nuisance! If you'd been good you wouldn't be where you are.'"

Roscoe Conkling's Big Fec.

It is said that one day when Roscoe Conkling was beginning to attain some measure of success he dropped into the office of Charles O'Conor, of New York, then one of the leaders of the bar.
 "What's the trouble" asked the lat ter, as Conkling excitedly paced the floor.
 'I've just been subjected to the worst insult have ever received. This is the first time a client ever objected to my fee.
 "You know I defended Gibbons for arson and put in some tremendous work for him. He was convicted at the trial. but we couldn't help 1t, and I took the case to the Superior Court, and he lost there, then on to the Su- preme Court and that affirmed the con- viction, and he has been given ten years. Now, my fee only amounted to $3.O00, and the scoundrel actually has the audacity to grumble about it, saying it's too high. What do you think of that for impudence?"
 "Well," said O'Conor, slowly, "of course you did lot of work, and $3,- GOO is not big fee, but to be frank with you, Mir. Conkling, my opinion, founded on mature consideration, is that he might have been convicted for less money"

"And so this is dear little Tommy" said the pretty young lady. Come and sit on my lap won't you, Tommy? There now, let's be friends. And, oh, Tommy, what would you think if your papa were to bring you a new mamma some day "a nice new mamma who looked just like mel"
 "I wouldn't care much," said Tommy, "but grandma says if he ever makes such fool of himself as that she'll put poi son in her coffee."

One More Crash to Come.

"A travelling man stopped at hotel at Monticello. The proprietor told him he could not lodge him-not room in the house." said commercial traveller. "The travelling man protested. He must have room. Finally the proprie- tor told him there was room, little room separated by thin partition from nervous man who had lived in the house for ten years.
 "'He is so nervous said the land. lord, I don't dare put anyone in that room. The least noise might give him a nervous spell that would endanger his life.'
 "'Oh, give me room,' said the tray. eler. I'll be so quiet he'll not know Pm there.'
 "Well, tho room was given the trav' eler. He slipped in noiselessly and began to disrobe. He took off one article of clothing after another as quietly as burglar At last he came to his shoes. He unlaced a shoe and then, manlike, dropped it.

He took off the second shoe and placed it noiselessly upon the floor. Then in absolute silence he finished un. dressing and crawled between the sheets.
 Half an hour went by. He had dropped into a dose when there came a tremendous knocking on the parti. tlon. The traveller sat up in bed, trem- bling and dismayed. 'Wha-wha- what's the matter?' he asked. Then came the voice of the nervous man:

Going It Alone.

No matter what you undertake; no matter what the game, be it love or busi- ness, this advice goes just the same. In your struggle for position, for happiness or wealth let these words your motto be-: "Rely upon yourself" Then if you make a ten strike it will be all your own and if you in the gutter fall you can wallow there alone.
