THE SALE or PAYNE's
REMEDIES.
Payne Desires to Give Everyone an
Opportunity to Meet Him.

A plan 10 accommodate the people
who have heretofore been unable to
see Payne has been decided upon by
the great advertiser who has arranged
to extend the hours of the sale of his
remedies.
Owing to the many requests Of PEG
pie who have been unable 10 call at
Herman c Schuhs drug store during
working hours. Payne has decided to
lengthen the hours of the sale Satur
day evening and Sunday.
In speak ne about the matter ne
said
Il have received so many requests
from people who are busy during the
LAY asking me TO give them an OPP
portunity for an interview with my
self or my assistants that | have de-
cided to remain at the store Satur-
day evening from 1870 TO $50 and on
Sunday morning from to IL"
Desires to Meet Every One.
1T is my desire 10 meet every sut-
fer ng man or woman who may wish
to learn of the nature OF my remedies,
and feel should make them some
concessions in this mater.
Payne tells us the sale OF the prep
arations is increasing al an astonish-
ing rate ana with the passing days of
Payne's yisir in this city the reason
for the unusual success OF
the remedies has become more appar-
eng. Not day passes that many per
sons do not call TO thank him for what
they say h s remedies have done.
half hour spent in Herman c. Schuh'5
drug store listening 10 the reports
made by these people makes clear the
reason why they regard these prep
aratio1s as something really remark

of Payne's remedies and decided to
try some of the preparation The re-
suits were almost instantaneous and
my husband returned to work threa
days after using the remedies
When stories Ike these are taken
into eonsiderat on it is not hard to
account for the great reputation Payne
has made in this city in SO short a

Therefore all should see Payne at

R1AY-DAY SONNETSeeBy Wallace Irwin

At last the new fiat swims into ken.
Our poor manned goods are hustled up the stairs,
The porter scowls, the truckrnan roundy swears,
Dsfguring the woodwork and then
| drain my purse to pay these gentlemen,
Who take my bride with condescending airs
And soon departing to their affairs.
They leave me with my quiet home again
Among the vacant rooms my lady fingers
l nail down carpets with savage strength,
Feeling by instinct Couch | smashed my fingers y
That she will break the to at length.
"Oh, Henry, somewhat plantively she calls,
What horrid, ugly paper these wallsl'
At last It's done: the tables in their place,
The pictures hung, the rugs and mating laid,
Order restored. My cares begin to fade
And Hope again stands solid base.
:" Not for ten years" | murmur, will chase
The May-Day bubble for perditiop made
But as speak little doubtful shade
Flutters across the 7wife's expressive face
" Dearest" cry what clouds that lovely brown
- "Nothing-Im only thinking" she replies.
This is no time for thinking. Tell me now
Pausing awhile she lifts her crystal eyes:

The lovely fat wen into next year" s-.5e

l sometimes ask when May is in the air,
And moving roll hatefully way:
"Oh, why the deuce, high Heaven, can't we stay
Where at and restlessness forswear?
No sooner are we settled, than tear
Up carpets. down portieres and havoc play
T. appease the wrathful Gods of Moving Day,
Who raise the rent and do not seem to care!'
But as | speak my wife goes moaning by:
Be careful of that brio a-brac-Oh, pleased
Unjoint the maple bedl' / hear her cry:
Don't let that mirror bang against your kneesl''
And, Mercy Henry, looki'' with horror pale,
That man has dropped our priceless Chippendalel'
The world do move, and that's idle quip.
The heavens weep rain, the earth replies IN mud.
And from the vans, with dull and squashy thud,
Chairs, Persian rugs and grand pianos slip.
So many cup is stricken from the lip,
So many hope is blighted in the bud,
The vile the cheerful driver calls: "Ods-bloodi
There's more where this here comes from-let er ripr
And some move in where are moving out,
And some out where moving in
And thus trade troubles round about,
Hoping Golden Era to begin

Could find fiat to satisfy his wife! -,

Mrs. Brown. 81 am so glad,

The Browns were young
and ardent lovers. Their
devotion to each other was
the subject of many jests at
the bachelors mess, par
ticularly with Osborne the
tease, and the married people
at the post were almost jeal-
Gus of their congeniality and
the way in which they
adopted each others fads
and took interest in each
others plans.
In the short intervals of
rest which Brown could
snatch from the maneuve-s,
he came home tired and over
worked. One evening he
returned early, completely ex-
hausted, threw himself upon
the couch, and fell into a
deep sleep. Mrs. Brown took
her seat near him, with her
sewing, and was happy to
have. him to herself for a
little while. @

A certain butterfly always cuts a hole in the

ant leaves equally unvarying mark. This is
ant which is attracting good deal of attention.
A German entomologist from Para is employing the
natives to dig them out, the lower Amazon, in
order to investigate their mode of life. The ants
dig passageways from eighty to one hundred feet
in length and about foot in diameter, and from
four to ten feet underground They carry the
earth to the surface, where the pile will often OBJ

cavated chambers where they store bits of leaves,
which they cut off and carry there, and which, when
they become moldy, develop fungus on which the
ant lives. put some bits of paper in their way to

For a few moments Mrs.
Brown sat pale and stunned.
Then the color surged back
into her face, and her eyes
were aflane. She rose and
walked slowly out of the
room, without casting a
glance at her sleeping hus-
band. In her own room she
paced up and down ner-
vously, weeping bitterly.
When the outburst of her
grief and jealousy had sub
sided, she returned to the
sitting-room, her face wet
with tears, her eyes red with
weeping, but comparatively
calm.
