then the shock of the awakening.
Before the end OF the first week of
the honeymoon the man she had

With one blow he shattered the tenn

and stood confessed common for

longer a marriage to this sensitive
woman. She thirsted for an ocean OF
love and he gave a desert She ask
ed for bread and received a stone.
1t was not that she cared for money
It was the humiliation of being
made wife for the selfish ends OF a
man whom she had believed above
selnshness.
In wrath she drove this young
giant that night from her house.
The perseverance with which MiEnor
has tried to overcome the grave mis-
take in exposing his poverty too soon
Is worthy OF better cause. From
one end of the country TO the other
he has followed the woman who de-
clared TO him In wrath;
"Out OF my house. You are no

Il Is pitlful end OF pitiful

Ambition

A recent dispatch from Chicago
says: Admiration which grew into
love, into sensational marriage,
both to be dlspelled by a sudden
awakening on the part of the woman
TO the sordid nature Of the hero of
her dreams. such are the sequent in
cidents in the story of Mrs. Yerkes-
Misner's second romance. Her first
is familiar story.
Now, according to the conversation
OF her most intimate friends. she is
going to ask the courts TO give her a
legal separation from Wilson Miner.
Notwithstanding all the gossip oc-
casioned by the Yerkes-Mizner mar
riage, one short month after the
death OF Charles T. Yerkes. the true
facts of the matter have come to
light.
II is well known that for several
years before Mr. Yerkes' death his
wife lived apart from him. They
were no more husband and wife in
fact than IL they had been legally
divorced.
But n divorce was ont Of the ques-
tion without the consent OF the wife.
and she refused TO yield.

A CYCLONE BABY.

In Oklahoma Territory one night
last summer a cyclone swept over a
section OF the country and destroyed
about forty houses. Next morning
about thirty miles from the path OF
the cyclone, a farmer going out to
NOW his meadow found child a year
old in the grass. 1t was a boy and
he had bedquilt wrapped around
him. The storm had brought him,
but the only hurt he had received was
a scratch on the nose.
Notice was given to- the nearest
newspapers at Unce and the case was
published. In this way hundreds of
people came to know about 1t. One
would think that the child's parents
would have been found soon, but as
a matter of fact no word has come
from them yet. 1t may be that they
were killed, or, as some think, they
wanted to abandon the boy, though he
is smart and cunning little chap and
being praised by>everybody.
A dozen different families stood
ready to adopt him, but his home is
with those who found him in the
grass.
The name given to the lost baby is
simply "Cy," for the first syllable Of
cyclone, and if he wants to lengthen
it out when he grows up there will
be no objections Perhaps when man.
hood is reached we shall hear Of him
in the Legislature as "Mr. Cy Clone"

TIE SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL
MERCHANT.

The approach Of winter and the
holiday season, when the most import
ant and largest expenditures on the
part Of every person and family
takes place, calls attention to- mat.
ter of great consideration, for those
who are to purchase these supplies.
This matter-is where are you, the cit
izen, going to buy your goods, of
your home merchant, or are you al
ready sending out for catalogues from
outside merchants of the great north
ern cities, and figuring on saving
twenty-five cents on every ten dol
lar purchaser
There is no greater community of
interests in a town or city, than that
which is to be found in local cooper
alton Of the people. 1t is the senti-
ment put into active practice of doing
everything possible for your neigh
boris interest. It is the good word
ever ready for the city's defence. 1t
is the ready help to promote ard ad-
vance every local interest which
means public betterments.
It is found in giving the local mer-
chant every possible order, every pos
sible dollar in trade for goods, that
cain be purchased in his store, or or
dered through his store.
The support of home institutions is
best seen in the local patronage given
every worthy local merchant. The. re-
tail merchant, as tax payer, is a
most important supporter Of every
thing that makes up a municipality.
He is taxed for everything, and pro-
portionally bears the greatest bur-
den as local taxpayer. This being
true the local merchant deserves the
consistent support, and every possible
dollar Of patronage from his home
people.
At this season of the year, the pam
phlet by mail, and the attractive ad
in sons outside periodical, is too apt
to draw attention away from the
local merchant. The person want
ing goods very often will say what
is the use Of going to the local mer-
chant, he can't carry such goods. and
so send an order to some outside mer-
chant. But how does the home citi-
zen know that the article wanted is
not to be found in town'q Has the
local newspaper been looked over,
to see if the local merchant adver-
tises, or if not having the exact az
ticle, cannot order the goods, and 50
make small pro6t7
Let this season be new one for To-
cal buyers, in that they make UP their
lists of needed goods, look up their
local merchant and give him the first
opportunity to fill every order, before
sending q dollar to some northern
city. Let the people try, this one sea-
son, 'and see what the result will be.
Give it a trial.

scIENo1oUsNEss IN WORK.

80 < - {.
lGiiven-t the man, woman or child that
onseienciousness into work. But in
whatever it may be, and success will
accompany their efforts. 1t is the
hardest task, this learning and living
up to the fulfllment Of conscientious
effort. It is very easy to find excuse
for the cutting short, in some degree
the work or project at hand. It is
the workman who gives his employer
the premium Of work on every dollar
he receives, that is going to get ahead,
and be wanted when extra and better
work comes along.
1t is in every day life, in the home,
in the church, in society, that the con-
scientious person is wanted, for it IS
through such a person, that the best
results come, that the home is cxalt
ed, the church made the strength it
should be, and society redeemed from
its frivolity and wastefulness.
1t is the doing more and better
than the allotted work, that counts.
It is not being moral and upright,
for mere individual gain, because
good habits give their possessors a
higher position, on salary or money
basis, but the being good, because
goodness is a virtue that means
peace, happiness and security to the
possessor in this world, and in the
one to come. In a commercial se,iz:.
it is the person who is above par ii
character and application in coz
scientious effort, that is wanted il ev
cry trade and profession, in every
walk OF life. The Indifferent person
may appear to succeed equally as we'll
as the person that puts individual
conscientiousness into work, But ii
the day. when any crisis occurs, when.
work becomes scarce, wages are cut,
or when man or woman is wanted
to carry out some great work of the
moment, it will be found that the con-
sciencious person stands above his
fellow, the Indifferent and careless,
and the call will be to him or her, as
the case may be.
In the school, in the field of labor,
conscienciousness in the work at
hand, is what means both temporary
and future success. To carry to the
fullest possible, the lessons well
learned, and thoroughly. To COM
plete the work of the hour and the
day, carefully, honestly without
waste Of material or time. 1t means
success. 1t means better future eff
forts. 1t means character strength
for the person SO performing and full,
filing.

TALrsMANs AND CHARMS.

Tansmans and charms have their
ups and downs in fashion. Just now
the wearing of such "mascots," says
1.-THE Woman's Magazine" seems to
be in the ascendant. They hang from
necks, they dangle from purses, they
even adorn ones rooms. The new
est charm in Paris, which is war
ranted to leave joyousness in its
wake, Is a pot of growing shamrocks.
The pots are small, and there Is a
great desire to get the four-leaVed
shamrocks to grow in them. Such
result, of course, is a mere question
of luck. The shamrock charm will
be much sought this season and will
be a popular favor for luncheons. AT
least Paris is looking through green
eyes at present.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.

bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any OF
the starchy foodwe eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small in
testines, and If we eat too much, as
most Of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of Work, SO that fermenta-
tion, indigestion, and long train of

Too much fat also is hard to d.
gest and this is changed into acids,
