enough to believe that the evil which did
had not a separate existence I'm my face.
This afternoon, indeed, was struck by the
purity Of my fresh complexion, and rather
depressed by the general innocence Of the
visage which peered into mine from the
little mirror. My straw -colored mustache,
grown in the fat after a protracted holt
day, again preserved the most disappoint-
ing dimensions and was still invisible in
certain lights without wax. So far from
discerning the desperate criminal who has
done time once, and deserved II over
and over again, the superior but superficial
observer might have imagined that he de-
tected a certain element Of folly in my face.
At all events 1t was not the face to shut
the doors Of a irst-class hotel against
me without accidental evidence Of a more
explicit kind and It was with no little sat
isfaction that 1 directed the man to drive
to the Star and Garter. ] also told him to
go through Richmond park. though he
warned me that It would add considerably
to the distance and his fare. 1t was au-
tumn and it struck me that the tints would
be fine. And had learned from Rafies
TO appreciate such things, even amid the
excitement Of an audacious enterprise.
II dwell upon my appreciation of this

through the noble park, over the commons
OF Ham and Wimbledon, and one day as
far as that of Esher, where 1 was forcbly
reminded Of q service we once rendered to
a distinguished resident in this delightful
locality. But 1t was on Ham Common, one
Of the places which Raffies had mentioned
as specially desirable, that actually found
an almost ideal retreat. This was a cot
tage where l heard on inquiry, that rooms
were to be let in the summer. The land
lady, a motherly body, of visible excellence,
was surprised indeed at receiving an appli-
cation for the winter months; but 1 have
generally found that the title Of author"
claimed with an air, explains very little
innocent irregularity Of conduct of appear
ance, and even requires something of the
kind to carry conviction to the lay intelll-
gence. The present case was one in point,
and when l said that l could only write in
a room facing north, on mutton chops and
milk, with a cold ham in the wardrobe in
case of nocturnal inspiration, to which 1
was liable, my literary character was estab-
lished beyond dispute. i secured the

with that his door shut in my face. and
I had to go my way in the dark as to
whether he had mistaken my meaning, and
was telling me lie, or not.

might have extracted some very genuine

whereas he would run any risk in a profess

not even watch a match, from the six
penny seats, at Lords Cricketgrouad,

eral manager OF the Western Electrical
company Of Omaha, Neb.
Mr.. Johnston ranks today as one Of the
best known men among the electrical supply
dealers in the country. With the keen in
telleot and quick grasp OF the situation
which has been the foundation Of his sue
cess, he soon saw that Omaha was an ideal
location for an electrical supply house In
spite of all inducements to the contrary, he
saw that he could serve a better purpose
for the industrial field at large, as well as
for himself, by establishing a new business
Of his own.
There are but few men who are as we'll
fitted for and bound to make a success Of
an establishment Of their own, as Mr.
Johnston, as he possesses all OF the essen
tial qualifications of a manager. He laid
then and there the solid foundation upon
which the Western Electrical company Of
Omaha has grown TO be one Of the leading
electrical supply houses in the middle west
a benefit to the electrical trade Of its ter
ritory and a pride TO its founder There
are several secrets Of this mans success.
First, an unfailing memory; second. his pet
motto, which is displayed all over his place
OF business in print do It Now" Third,
his ability to employ and associate with
him men Of professional knowledge and
ability to carry out his orders in every de-
tail. His first and only aim in business is
his customers welfare and to carry out
every business obligation he assumes,
whether such can be done at a profit or at
a loss. MY word must be made good" has
sounded into the ears Of many an employe
OF the Western Electrical company from
the managers mouth, and II Is made
good" no matter what the sacrifice.
AS an individual. Mr. Johnston is as re-
markable as he Is as business man. But
few employees have ever left him WITHOUT
a feeling of love and respect, and as a
friend they have never known a better or
truer one. Although he Is strictly "busi-
ness" during business hours. yet the weak
est point IN the manager OF the Western
Electrical company is his big heart and
anxiety for his fellowman's welfare. His
many friends and the business interests OF
Omaha are justly proud OF the success
Mr.. Johnston has achieved and are con
hdent that he will remain a pillar for the
upbuilding and prosperity OF the community

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.



Nearly everybody knows that CHAR
coal n the safest and most efncient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, put
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal il a remedy that the more
you take of II the better; 1t Is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present IN
the stomach and intestines ana carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eatins
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminentiy safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money u
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they arr
composed of the finest powdered VIII
low charcoal, and other harmless anti
septics In tablet form or rather in th'
form Of large, pleasant tasting To-
zenges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
lon, sweeter breath and purer blood
and the beauty of 1t is, that no posi-
BILE harm can result from their contin-
ued use, but on the contrary. great
benefit.
Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits Of charcoal says: II adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
ana bowels. and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great
