A Valuable Deg.

Mark Twain Is immensely popular
with the farmers living around quarry
Farm" his summer home near Elmira,
y. Y. He and his neighbors exchange
experiences and both profit thereby.
The genial humorist tells of one farmer
who purchased a hunting dog that was
highly recommended 10 him by man
= Iio did not seem particularly reluctant
about parting with II. When the dog
was delivered the farmer looked 1t over
with considerable misgivings. 1t seemed
shy AMI bashful and hardly the animal
i: was cracked mp to be. Anxious to
give IL u trial. however, he took II out
shortly afterwards and, as luck would
have it. ran across fox. The dog took
after the fox and the two were soon
out OF sight, the farmer following as
rapidly as he could. Finally he met an
ether farmer who. In response To his
inquiry. stated that they had passed In
his direction. Asked as to how they
were running. the second farmer re-
piled; wall. II was MP and tuck, but
think the dog was about three feet
ahead. - Maxwell Beers, In Lippin-
eutt's.

MRS. gM. J. LEMr. But for years the
couple have had bitter quarreis and they
have decided that the future happiness of
both and more especially of their 6-year-
old boy requires that they live apart. Sew
eral times they have been on the verge of
separation, but the wife's family has in
teryened. Now her brother says:
at is a matter of temper and it Is
hard to tell which is most to blame. Mr..
Lemp is too much of gentleman not to
permit my sister to sue for divorce now
that their differences have reached point
where the breach cannot be healed. Mr..
Lemp has led an exemplary life and is one
of the straightest men l know. There
are no sensational charges on either side.
When people can no longer live happily
together it is best that they should part
Mrs. Lemp has had much trouble with
her servants. She is known as the Law
ender Lady. from her stunning costumes
of that color. She has been conspicuous
because of her gowns, her lavish enter
tainments and her unusual beauty. Her
home is yeritable palace.

Three-Cent Fares a Fact.

Mayor Tom johnson of Cleveland act
ed as motorman on the first trolley car
run over the Scent fare line OF the Mu-
nicipai Traction Company. On the same
car with him were officials of the COM

each Of whom had paid 3 cents for one
OF the aluminium COINS with the hole in

In the course Of speech the mayor said

CHAPTER xxyII.

And the next day Antonio stood at the
gate OF that little house. A message had
been sent TO her as early as Ben could
manage TO dispatch it:
Hubert is found. Come here at once. y
Antonia walked up the narrow stair
case. II seemed TO her incredible that the
end of this awful anxiety had come at
last, that Hubert was found, that within
the next two or three minutes she would
see him. perhaps touch his hand, though
he might not speak 10 her.
She made very little noise on the stairs,
but Sarah heard her coming, ana as the
girl stood in the doorway. SO beautiful in
her simple white draperies. the older WON
an covered her face with her hands. Then.
as Antonia moved up 10 the bedside. she
passed out OF the ro-m and left the girl
alone with her lover.
A day or 50 later a modest funeral left

Mrs. III. Wighf

Mrs. Pinkhan claims that there is q
kind of dyspepsia that Is caused by .
arrangement of the female organism.
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved withouta medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic.
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. Size writes:
"For two years / suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that

Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like n fine tonic, and In q
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it TO many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such record
of cnres of female troubles. as has Lydia
F.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why Or. Williams Pink Pile
Are a Specific for Dangerous
Physical Declines

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, tendency to perspire
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability to stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause OF
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri-
ton due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally loss of
appetite and a coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula NJ. Metzger. a stenographer,
living at II Mill street, WATERFOWL, N. Y,

DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red.
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishinemt to NIL the organs and tissues
of the body, nerves as well as, muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient to cure de-
hility but many severe nervous disorders
