HAPPY WOMEN.

Wouldn't any woman be happy,
After years of backache suffering,
DAYS of misery, nights of unrest,
The distress of urinary troubles,
To find relief and cure?
No reason why any reader
Should suffer in the face OF evidence
like this:
Mrs. Almira A. Jackson, of East Front
St, Traverse City, Mich, says: For
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1905-08-01

Put one quart of strawberries, red
raspberries or pared peaches In bowl,
cutting the stra wberries in half, and If
the peaches are used cut these in sec
tons; sprinkle over them the juice of
one large lemon and one pound of
granulated sugar; stand on Ice over
night. Then turn into the freezer and
pour one quart of plain cream on top;
turn the dasher until frozen; in the win
ter canned peaches, cherries and berries
can be used by draining off most of the
juices.

They Met by Chance.
BUT THAT SANE MEETING PUT THE
QUIETUs ON WHAT WAS ONCE A
PROMISING ROMANCE.

It is q railway station. A woman
strolls hither and yon, also yon and
hither, with slow, measured strides.
In her hand she holds photograph.
It represents q man Of some % years,
with Hyperion curls and smile OF
vacuous innocence. His chin Is twisted
around until 1t points directly over his
shoulder, and there Is an expression IN
his eyes which tells all too plainly that
the photographer had used tongs on his
neck to hold his face at that angle until
the fell work was done.
Nervously the woman peers into the
faces of the men she passes.
From their faces her eyes turn ever
and anon to the photograph in her hand.
And always the same swift shade of dis
appointment glides athwart her coun-
tenance.
Another person attracts our attention.
1t Is man.
He, too, strolls slowly through the
station. He, too, holds a photograph In
his hand. The picture is that of fair
young thing, with pompadour bang,
and q merry, merry twinkle in her eye,
like unto that of the lady in the bonbon
advertisements.
The man also peers anxiously into the
faces of the women he meets. Likewise
he turns his eyes from their countenances
to the photograph in his hand, and al
ways with a disappointed expression.
Does not this grow thrillingP
See. The man and woman approach
each other.
They pass without sign of recogni-
ton.
At last they are almost the only ones
in the depot. From sheer lonesomeness
they smile at each other in sympathy
as they pass and repass on their monoto-
nous walks. At last the man speaks to
the woman:
"Were you looking for somebody"
81 was and am" she responds tartly.
81 am looking for Algernon Percival
Itheringcourt of Shank Station, DEL"
The man starts with surprise.
81" he confides. "am here to meet
Flossie Evangeline Rutherford OF East
Bingville, Ind"
Now the woman starts with surprise.
81 don't know any such person as you
are looking for" she remarks, looking
guiltily at the photograph of the houri
in his hand.
"Aud don't know any of the Ither-
ingtons," he states, trying to catch a
glimpse of the photo she holds.
"This Mr.. Itherington," she says, lis
handsome young man and has a mil
lion dollars in his own name"
"And Miss Rutherford" he says, sis
beautiful young heiress, who yearns
for some manly man to manage her
estate"
YEARLY she takes in the details OF his
costume and then observes his scraggy
beard and the wart on the nose, neither
of which are in the photo. Also, he
takes note of her false frizzes. Then
she goes to the gateman and asks what
time the next train leaves for Bingville,
Ind, while he Is behind her, waiting to
get information az to the next train for
Shank Station, Del.
Love is blind, but once in while 1t
gets its eyes opened.-Chicago Tribune.

A Whip In the Pulpit.

A writer In an English review tells
Renaissance Of brother Of ia
nous dean Of Christchurch. The
brother was rector of small parish.
His eccentricity was somewhat remark
able. He was famous whip and
drove splendid team, Of which he
was very proud. He was fond Of
showing off how he could flick fly
from either Of his leaders ears with
out touching the horse. This accom-
plishment he transferred to rather
unexpected locality. for he always car
ried his whip up into the pulpit with
him, and woe to the unfortunate men,
Der Of his congregation whom he de-
tected nodding.

A Moment Of Horror.

A cry of horror burst forth from the
vast assemblage.
Thousands of willing hands would
have averted the catastrophe II possible,
but everybody realized that nothing
could be done.
Strong men groaned in anguish and
fair women looked on with pale cheeks
and glistening eyes.
What had happened?
Was II q horrible accident
Worse than that,
oh, far worse
The man at the bat had struck out,
leaving three men on bases. and the
home team had lost the game.
