No Punishment.

A certain crusty squire in an Eng
fish midland county who had gained
unenviable notoriety for harsh deal
ings with his tenants, had violent al
tercation with a farmer named John.
son. About this time valuable wheat
stack of Farmer Johnson's was de-
stroyed by fire, and there were not
wanting those who attributed the
cause to the squire himself. A few
days later the squire, when driving to
the market town, met another of his
tenants. After few perfunctory re-
marks the tenant said: esquire, do you
know anything about the law"
The squire smiled satirically. II

An Honest Man-New School,

Cassius r. Peck, assistant United
States district attorney of Oklahoma,
at banquet in Guthrie recently spoke
on honesty.
What are we coming to? Are we
coming to such a pass that our ideas OF
IA honest man will correspond with
the idea of old Hiram Stroode?
Hiram Stroode, for the seventh
time was about to fail. He called in
an expert accountant to disentangle
his books. The accountant, after two
days work, announced that he would
be able to pay his creditors cents on
the dollar.
AT this news the old man looked
vexed.
Heretofore he said, frowning, I

Couldn't Please Won MoItke,

Count Won Moltke, the great Prus-

and once wished to try his strength
against famous, professional. A
match was arranged, but the profess

as Moltke hated people who had a lot
to say. Whether Moltke overheard
this warning to the professional or not
is not told. At any rate, the match
came off and the professional was very

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak. Aitina
and BloodIess,

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless wasting illness has pre-

Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in ones surroundings or work.

the blood aud all enfeeblement of the

been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr.. @. E. Legg, of Upton, W. Va,
has found a successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:

weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896.

generally would say that I didn't have

I was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach. There was good

my right shoulder blade''
"How long did these troubles 1ast?"
"For over two years. For four
months of that time was under the

5Dibble dropped sigh as: she leant
back against the hard curved arm of
the so&a and realized; that she was
tired out She had had an anxious
case with bad end to it; she had
had no Eeste last night nor the night
before. She fixed her eyes upon the
bit OF sky where the fiery glow of the
dying sunset still fingered, and she
touched the rocker of the cradle with
mechanical foot.
The musical clangor of the Minister
chimes rang out and shattered the ST.
lence OF the street. AS they died away
Mrs. Dibble became aware of another
sound that they had muffled-a quick,
sharp rapping at the kitchen door at
the back. "Drat that Maria!' she
said to- herself, irritably; ''why can't
she answer? Where on earth can the
hussy be-" The rapping went on
more and more approximately. With
a stihed anathema Nurse Dibble rose
to her feet and went down the passage
to the back window. She threw it up
and put out her head. The sight be-
low checked on her lips the words of
expostulatlOn. Her young sister stood
at the door, a bundle in her arms. At
the sound of the window she looked
up and made hasty gesture Of alarm
and eager entreaty. Nurse Dibble re-
sponded with another of command to-
wards the door. The girl showed the
yielding latch and ran in hurriedly.
Nurse Dibble forgot her wrath with
Maria for leaving the house deserted
and empty while she stole out to Cos
sip with a neighbor in her consterna-
ton and dismay.
She met her sister at the stairhead.
The girl-she was only about twenty
or so-was GREATNESS and terrified.
"Oh, Hannah" she exclaimed, gasp
ing in her haste and eagerness, "for
mercy's sake do look at baby! I've
brought him round for you to see."
In her relief at hearing that it was
not the mother who was in peril, Nurse
Dibble took the little bundle in her
arms. well, never! You haven't

"Gracious mercy! What was I to

by polluting the stream. The scheme
however, is by no means worked out
and may. prove impracticable.
