AT HOME.

I entered, with an amused glance at
the butler. who was giving ove his
heavy countenance to a delightful ex-
hibition of disgust and discontinue.
1t was L~angdon's sitting room. He
had had the carved antique oak in
terror of a room in an old French pail
ace torn out and transported to New
York and set up for him. l had made
q study of that sort of thing, and at
Dawn Hill had done something toward
realizing my own ideas of the splendid.
But a glance showed me that / az
far surpassed. What l had done
seemed in comparison like the compo-
sftion of a school boy beside an essay
by Goldsmith or Hazlitt.
And in the midst of this quiet splen-.
dor sat, or rather lounged, Langdon,
reading the newspapers. He was
with facings and cords of blue silk q
shade or so lighter than the suit. /
had always thought him handsome;
he looked now like a god. He
was smoking a cigaret In an oriental
holder nearly a foot long; but the air of
the room, SO perfect vas the ventila-
ton. instead of being scented with to-
bacco, had the odor of some fresh. clean
slightly saline perfume.
/ think what was in my mind must
nave shown in my face, must have
subdy BATTERED him. for, when I looked
at MIN, ne was SIVlHS HHS u look OF
genuine friendly kindness. This IS
perfect, Langdon,, said /. And /

tsGlad you like it," said he, trying to
dissemble his satisfaction in SO strong

Blinks-I have often wondered what
became of Sourface, who ~emigrated to
his city years ago. He was, without
exception, the most disagreeable, I'M
b~earable fellow that ever lived in our
county. Everybody hated him so he
could not get work and had to leave.
Stranger-The only Sourface that I
know of is A. b. Sourface, and he's the
most popular mar in the city?
Blinks-A. B.? Why, that's the man.
Popular?
Stranger-Yes, indeed. An old crank
of an uncle, who was craay on the evils
of the Capitalization of wealth, left him
an immense fortune on condition that
he should try to spend it all during his
lifetime.

1.-THE late Bishop Thomas Frederick
Davies of Detroit" said a Detroit man.
"once told me an interesting story of an
elopement. He figured in this elopement
as the officiating clergyman. 1t was in
Philadelphia, during his rcctorship of ST.
Peters.
1T seems that the proprietor of one of
the largest dry goods houses in Phila-
delphia had noticed for some months tho
melancholy attitude of his head clerk, a
young maj whom he held in high regard.
THE clerks pallor and increasing lean
ness, his frequent signs and absentmind-
edness, worried the millionaire proprietor.
He questioned the young ma daily. And
finally the clerk admitted that he was in
love.
We'll said the head. marry her. Your
salary IS big enough
All said the clerk, sadly, you don't
understand. She belongs to one of the
first families of Philadelphia, and her
father is a millionaire
"'Well, maybe he wasn't when he mar
rled. You have a good position and a good
/ name. You are a fair match for any girl
said the other.
Its no USE sighed the clerk. Hey
parents would not listen to me for ono
moment
Then said the head, ;elope with her
do you advise that?' the clerk asked
excitedly.
Certainly I do. Is She Do I know
her?'
Yes. She will be at your dance at
Devon tomorrow night
",Well, see here said tho head, I'll,
have my coachman out in front Of nv
gate at $50. Rush the girl off into town
and marry her. III arrange with q
Clergyman for you.
by jove,' said the clerk, I'll do itn
And he did. The next night Dr.. Davies
performed the ceremony, and an hour OF
two later the millionaire found his u
ter missing and was telesraphing in every
direction to the young couple to come
home and all would be forgiven"

Many wonderful cures of female ills
are continually coming to light which
have been brought about by Lydia Z:
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and

through the advice of Mrs. Pinkham,
of LYNN, Mass, which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
The present Mrs. Pinkham has for
twenty-five years made a study of the
ills of her sex ; she has consulted with
and advised thousands of suffering
women, who to-day owe not only their
health but even life to her helpful
advice.
Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of z Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
"I suffered for a long time with female
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that l had q tumor. ! did not want to
submit to an operation, SO wrote you for
advice. / received your letter and did as
YOU told me, and to-day l am completely
cured. My doctor says the tumor has disap-
peared, and l am once more q well woman.
/ believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world"
The testimonials which we are con
stantlypublishingfrom grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t Is
absolutely free, and to thousands OF
women has proved to be more precious
than gold.
