little Dan Cupid" who has been
using the mission as a means to
further his ends.
One day not long ago a neatly
dressed Chinaman entered the mission
and Informed the lady in charge that
In a certain alley in Chinatown there
was a slave girl who wished to run
away to the mission and study Christi
anity, but was unable to do so on az
count Of her owner, who was negoti-
at1ng her sale for $1,000 to an. old
gambler.
The next day the missionary made
her appearance in the alley, and with
the help of an Interpreter and a po
lice sergeant rescued the girl, who
took up her abode in the mission. She
became an interested pupil and soon
embraced Christianity.
About the same time the Chinaman
who had caused the rescue appeared.
This time he wished to Join the church
himself. He had not been a member
long before he came forward with the
request for a wife, which was granted.
Among the names suggested was that
Of the rescued girl and he chose her.
Her consent was the only condition,
and, needless to say, that was easily
obtained
The wedding was not delayed. The
time taken to deceive the missionaries
had been too long for the loving
hearts. They were united by the mis-
sion pastor, after which they left for
1osshouse and were married by the
priest in real Chinese fashion.
The last the missionaries heard of
them they were living in the heart or
Chinatown and were worshiping joss,
even more devoutly than their neigh
bors. Later it was discovered that the
Chinaman, who was really the girls
lover. but had not sufficient funds with
which to purchase her, had used The
missionary people in this shrewd man
ner. He got the girl he loved with
ont having the $4,000. But the mis-
sionary has lost her confidence in the
raIIovv race-San Francisco Call.

An Absent.MInded Man.

Mortimer Smith was late in joining
an opera party on Wednesday night,
and in explanation of his delay told
the following story:
You know Sampson, of course" he
said. well, it was his fault. Fine
fellow. but terribly absent-minded.
I've just been to his house. He
won't be out for a week. Got run
over and kicked by a horse this aft
ernoon.
II said he was absent-minded, but
what do you think of this? About 4
o'clock this afternoon he drove down
Fifth avenue in a runabout to which
Marshall's chestnut colt was hitched.
He meant to go to the garage and get
his car. That colt of Marshall's is a
peculiar animal. Lots of style, but
has a habit of acting queerly. 1t was
the first time that Sampson had been
behind a horse since he took to mo-
toring. Near Sherry's the colt stopped
and wouldn't go a step farther. Samp-
son got out of the rig and crawled
under the runabout with a monkey
wrench in one hand and an oil al in
the other. l don't know whether he
tried to screw up the colts hoofs or
put gasoline on his c%oronet, but when
they picked Sampson up he was a
sight. Foolish fellow, isn't herr

Monarch Fond of Puddinss.

BLUR King Hail." otherwise Henry
VIII. of England, was exceedingly
fond of buildings. At one time he
gave a certain Mistress CORVALLIS
a house in Aldgate, for herself and
her heirs forever, "in reward of fine
buildings" In King Henry Wits
private accounts occur again and
again entries of his rewards to differ
ent housewives for bringing him pud-
dings. A typical instance uns thus:
Item. The same day paid 20 the wife
that made the king podings al Hamp-
ton corte, Wis. Wild" This would be
about s1.75, but its value was much
greater when the entry was made.
This love for fine %puddings" explains
much in the familiar rotund figure of
King Hal.

HYENA KNEW ITS FRIEND.
Apparently Vicious Creature Had
Memory for Kindness.

Memory for Kindness.
A few years ago in n of the men
ageries exhibited during the races at
Brighton, England, vas a striped
hyena, which, to the keeper and all
around him, displayed the usual Zero
cious habits inherent in animals of his
kind. Among the spectators was a
young mar who fearlessly approached
the den where it was snarling and
swapping furiously, and, putting his
hand through the wires, patted the
animal on its head.
In an instant the hyena gave symp-
toms of the greatest delight, bounded
about in an ecstacy of Joy and rubbed
himsel fagainst the young mans hand,
seeming to be o~verjoyed at his ca
resses. It appeared hat this animal
had been taken when a cub by this
young man and brought by nim tc
England and sold to the keeper of 9
menagerie, and although seven years
had elapsed since then the recollec
ton of the gentle treatment he haC
received had been gratefully remem
bered by this apparently untamabl'
creature.

GOOD RECIPE FOR SUCCESS.
Dealing Justly With the World a Main
Requisite.

Smile in your mirror and 1t smiles
back at you; look pleasantly at the
world and it reflects your good natur-
ed looks; cultivate a warm feeling
toward all men and they radiate and
give back the warmth. Deal justly.
Trade on broad principles. Be not
too Jealous of your rights The world
-mankind-soon discovers where il
is well treated, and trades there.
Be loyal to your clerks and they
viii return it In loyalty. Trade on
broad lines, buy of broad people. treat
the public generously and success is
sure to come-a succe that is worth
the winning and keeping and cherish
ing. Be exacting, carping, looking out
carefully for your little rights. and as
sure as the sun shines the world vii
have its eye on you, watching you in
a way that you do not care to be
watched.

PROVES GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds of people afflicted with rheu-
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
"Four years ago I suffered greatly
with rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After l had been sitting a while
my limbs seemed so heavy l could hardly
walk on the first attempt. 50 long as I
kept moving I was all right, but just as
soon as / stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
My hands were so bad / couldn't touch
the palms Of them ON a fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied So"
"Did you call in a physician?'

then one doctor said: you have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism"

Mrs. T. A Dinsnore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health al
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but a single
joint it shows that the blood is in faulty
state in the whole body. Itmay at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one OF
the dangers is that it may break out In
the heart and then the result must b
fatal. The only security Is to keep tbs
blood all the time in a perfectly sount

LIFE PROLONGED BY SUCCESS.
Victory Over World Means New Vital
ity and New Powers.

1t is new well known that increased
complexity of life with increased ex-
penditure distinctly adds longevity.
Luxury, 'the fertile parent of a whole
family of diseases" modiies it greatly,
of course, but this is a manageable
factor.
We have only to recall personal ex-
perience to realize the force of intel
lectual stimulation. The interest of
sport will sustain men without fatigue
for di-tances they otherwise could not
traverse. The excitement of strife
will often mask the presence OF
wounds. Self-forgetfulness in all the
walks of life, under the stress of love.
chivalry or accepted duty, doubles hu-
man endurance. Success gives new vi
tality, new powers, and this is another
name for new life.
