Birth of a Flower.

Years and years ago and ever SO
many years before there lived far
away in a lovely country youth who
was the most beautiful man in the
world. His name was Narcissus, and
he had a sister as beautiful as him
self. whom he loved very dearly. Mar
cissus often used to go hunting in the
woods with his sister. Each Of them
knew that the other one was very
beautiful, but they did not know
the same about themselves. You see.
they had no looking glasses in those
days-at least only the mermaids had
them, and they never lent them to any
one else. One day the girl died, and
poor Narcissus was very unhappy, and
after that he had to go hunting by
himself. Once when he was thirsty
he came to a stream and was just
bending down to drink when he saw
his own face in the water. He had
never seen it before and thought It
was the face of his dear sister. So he
tried to catch hold of her, but could
not. When he had tried for q long
time he was so disappointed that he
killed himself. Then the fairies came
in the night to bury him. but they
only found pretty white flower,
which is still called narcissus.

Gain I'm Banking Power.

With only twentieth of the worlds
inha bitants, the United States has
two-thirds (S14,OO0, 100000 of the
worlds banking power capital, sur
plus, deposits and circulation. Our
ascendency here has been obtained in
the last two decades. Since 1890 the
worlds banking strength has grown
105 per cent, while that Of the United
States has expanded 10 per cent and
that Of New York City 200 per cent.
OF the $500, 100000 of the weekly
average of the bank clearings Of the
ninety-three cities which make reports
New York contributes two-thirds. New
York City's bank clearings average %
per cent in excess of London's.
And the greater part of this stupen-
dous banking growth in New York
City and the United States in general
has taken place within the easy recol-
lection Of thousands Of persons who n
their various employments are still
actively at work.
Contemplating the vast expansion
which has given the United States a
long lead over all other countries In
manufactures and mining, which has
placed American products in every
market on the globe, which has built
up in this country a railway system
which comprises two-fifths of that Of
the entire earth and which has in
creased the country's wealth from
$500, 100000 in Washington's day to
$11O, 100000 in Roosevelt's, the

'The souvenir postal card craze
seems to be governed by none of the
bounds Of propriety and decency," de-
clared postal clerk as he was dis
tributing the deposits found in the pub
lie drop boxes, according to the Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
IF the government doesn't put a
stop to this nuisance I'll have to find a
better job" he continued to muse.
1t was disgraceful lot of stuff, to
be sure. In the collection were any
number of worn and soiled collars,
old socks, garters and even several
pairs Of shoes.
The proper postage had been prepaid
on everything-the cuffs. collars and
shirt bosoms bearing stamps and adj
dresses, the socks, garters and shoes
being attached to tags inscribed with
destinations.
There is no doubt the postoffice re
ceipts are increasing everywhere be-
cause of this popular custom of send
ing oddities through the MAIL" said
another clerk in the same department,
"but l wonder where it's going to end.
The government will accept in the mail
anything not over four pounds in
weight. Why, the other day we found
a set of false teeth merely attached
to tag and addressed to a woman
IN Germanton. It's the limit"

her head. The men were on the steps.
They pulled off their hats and bowed
low to the ground.
Good mawnin'. boys" he said, and
there was no culver in his voice. She
still held his arm. 81 W you all

Der that it's Christmas"
And then Fannie passed down the
steps with the waiter and handed
around the hot coffee. The men
dropped their hats on the ground and
drank, and then broad smiles came
over the black faces as the coins
struck their teeth.
"Gawd bless yo', Marse Arthur and
Missusr' came a chorus, and then
they turned to go-all except the old

81 can't TUX it dis time, Marse Ar

He, standing on the porch, waved
his hand, and the oldest of the faith
full walked away grumbling to him
self. Fannie had gone back to the
kitchen. They were in the doorway
alone. She looked up at him and he
kissed her. and then she turned. Ii
was too much to bear. He took her
in his arms and kissed her again and
then she went. He pulled his hat

the hall. cried out:
Guess I'll go over to the stable and

WOMEN GAMBLERS OF YoRE.


Lord KenyOn's Threat Proof Prac-
tice Was Common 100 Years Ago.
However one may deplore the pres
ent craze for gambling among women,
it can at least be urged in their favor
that they do not indulge their love oe
cards to anything like the same extent
as did their sex century ago, when
Lord Kenyon made his famous scath-
ing comments from the bench and
threatened that any women convicted
before him of public gaming should
certainly exhibit themselves in the pill
lory, though they should be the first
ladies in the land
Only a short time before his lord
ship made this severe threat three lead
ers of the world of fashion-ladies of
high rank and moving in the most ex-
allied of social circles-had each been
fined ESQ for making their houses cen
tiers of gambling for high stakes, and
it was stated at the time that there
were hundreds of other great ladies
whose drawing-rooms were nothing
less than gambling infernos, where
tens of thousands of pounds were lost
and won in a single night and the
floors of which, when dawn broke,
were strewn ankle deep with cards.
There is scarcely a house of any
Importance" wrote chronicler of the
time, 1.-The hostess of which has not
her faro bank, and where the world
of fashion, including royal princes and
princesses, does not cOngregate daily
to play for the highest stakes. 1t is
notorious that many of these ladies
add ten of thousands of pounds yearly
to their pin money in this discredit-
able fashion"
Nor was this encouragement OF
gambling by women any innovation
for a couple of generations earlier ii
was a common thing for ladies OF
rank to open gambling houses for the
entertainment of their aristocratiC
friends and the plenishing of their own
purses-and this they did in defiance
of the law.-Tit-Bits.

peared, and / am once more a well woman.

4 Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
Have.
"A little widow, a neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it would
not retain food of any other kind"
writes grateful woman, from San
Bernardino Co., Cal.
Il had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth Of my second boy. We were In
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
81 liked Grape Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that /
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals day. In two
months my weight increased from 80
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more so when
they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had
brought the change.
my 4-year-old boy had eczema, very
bad, last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the ecze-
ma disappeared and now he is fat and
rosy, with a delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. /

Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Or.
Williams Pink Pills Make
New RIood


The first sign of rheumatism is fire.
quently a pain and swelling i'll one Of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, SO that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. 1. L. Pitcher, of No. $50 Mon
mouth street, Newark. N. j., suffered
before she found this cure. She says:
alt began with a queer feeling in my
fingers. In little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and 1 could not get my gloves OH.
"Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. / could not stand up and
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than can describe. / took a
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until tried DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.
CT read an account of cure in case
that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some of the pills. took
them for three weeks before / really felt
better but they finally cured me.
Mr.. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a
member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife s
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Two Little War Stories.

Here is a story worth the telling"
said the Captain. THE men of Cen
eral Sickles' old division will remem-
Der Joseph Hopkins Twichell, who
came from Andover Theological Semi
nary in 1861 to serve as chaplain in
the army. General Sickles became very
much attached TO Chaplain Twichell.
and once, when he inquired for Joe
and was told that he was feeling blue
because there were no converts in the
division. while in another division sew
enteen men had been converted and
baptized. said: H. Is that all:
Detail forty men at once for baptism.
| won't let Joe be left behind
THAT is not the story in my mind,
however. 4 Connecticut friend re-
minds me of Twichell as he was in
1864, a soldier and a comforter of SOL
diers. A Colonel commanding one of
while he was swearing at his men,
holding them to the line against the
charge of the enemy. The question in
Sickles' mind was how Joe an Andover
man, would treat a case in which a
brave officer not processing Christian
lad died with an oath upon his lips.
The same question troubled Il good
many others when the whole division
had been formed for the funeral and
the young chaplain had taken his place
by the fiag-draped coffin.
1T was an impressive scene when
Chaplain Twichell said in his clear
voice: Greater love hath no man
than this, that he lay down his life
for his friends The argument was
that as the Colonel had laid his life
on the altar Of his country's need and
had literally lost his life in serving his
friends and comrades in his own COM
mand, they could say truly of him,
He that loseth his life shall find it
Not many men present will ever forget
the scene or the look on General
Sickles' face as he regarded with new
pride and affection his Chaplain Joe.
No wonder all Hartford, in later years,
loved the Rev. Joseph Hopkins Twich-
ell, for forty years pastor of Asylum
Hill Congregational Church. "-Chica-

A little story is told In the Life of
General Houston" the Confederate
General, which illustrates the familiar
way in which military orders were ex-
pressed sometimes during the civil
war. In a certain battle a Confed-
crate commander stood upon a hilltop
gloomily watching the Union battery.
which was making havoc of his troops.
At the foot of the hill, on the other
side, was his last body of reserves: by
his side stood his aid-de-camp, in shirt
sleeves. Tom said the General.
quietly, without turning his head. but
his lips quivering, 81 want them guns
want 'em bad"
The aid nodded, mounted his horse
and dashed down the hill to the re-
serves.
Boys" he shouted, jerking his
thumb over his shoulder toward the
hilltop, there's poor old gent up
there, and he says he wants them guns
wants 'em bad. Shall we get 'em
for him?"
The poor old gent" got the guns
and the victory.
