The late Daniel Lamont was oele-
brated for his tact. AS private secre-
tary to President Cleveland and as sec
yetary of war he was able to refuse
more people their dearest wishes with
less resulting rancor than any man In
the administration.
Il learned the lesson early in lift"
explained Mr.. Lamont. There was a
very poor young man in our town who
fell head over heels in love with q
farmers daughter. He was deadly seri-
pus about it, and as poor as poor could
be. The girl knew something of toll
and was weary of it, but she was fond
of the man; her moods left him alter
nately elated and depressed.
1T am afraid there is no chance for
me- he confided to a friend one day.
In delicate way she has been dis
couraging my attentions to her.
How is she doing 1t .
".Oh. very delicately. She told me
yesterday that she was twin, her
mother was twin. and her grand
mother was twin.

DIR. R. v. PIERCE GETS VERDICT.
Jury vfndfcates "Tnyorite Prescrip-
tom from Attack OF Ladies'
Home journal.


The trial Of the first libel suit grow
ing out of the attacks on patent"
medicines has resulted in verdict for
the plaintiff. The first case to come to
trial was that of the DIR. Pierce COM
pany against the Ladies' Home Journal.
and the jury found the Ladies' Home
Journal guilty of libel and fixed $4,000
as the damages it should pay A mo-
tion was Immediately made by the Or.
Pierce company to have this verdict set
aside and the case retired, the grounds
being that the verdict was insufficient.
This motion is yet to be argued.
The article OH which the suit was
based was printed in the Ladies' Homt
Journal, and was to the effect that
the Pierce medicines contained alcohol,
digitalis and opium. 1t was shown
that they contain none of these drugs,
and Mr.. Box admitted, on, the sta Id,
that after the article was printed he
had caused analysis to be made by
three chemists and none could find a
trace of the drugs mentioned,
