here is an odd little drama the
sordid end OF which came to light the
uther day in a London police court
Some years ago a respectable and
thrifty accountant who had lived a
bare. lonely sort of a life, was told by
his doctor that he had but a short
tine to live. Seeing no sense in stick
ing to his treadmill, he threw up his
situation and devoted himself to get
ting the most pleasure possible out of
the little capital he had saved by
years of hard work. But doctors dn
rare but autheticated instances) make
mistakes. Perhaps a gay life was the
best prescription he could have had
he stultified medical science At all
pvents his lease of life outran his CAPT
cal and he was the other day sent to
jail for six months for getting money
on false pretenses. 1t is never safe to
say, Let us eat. drink and be merry.
for tomorrow we die"

Though the ancient Greeks and
Romans used ice for table purposes
to get through even hotter weather
than we have been having lately, they
knew nothing of ices" These were
introduced into France from Italy
about 1900. and known at first as
"fromages glaces," iced cheeses, al.
though they were made of strawber-
ries. apricots. and so forth. and con
tanned not a drop of cream. says the
London Chronicle. From 1862 the use
of 'glaces" in the plural was sauc.
toned by the academy, but not before
1895 did "une glace" force its way
into recognized acceptance. Ices
are referred to from time to time in
the eighteenth century in English peo.
pies letters from abroad Iced
creams" however. were known as
early as the year when William of Or.
ange came over. and by the middle of
the eighteenth century ice cream
figured in cookery books.

Something Like a Gale.

Lieutenant Bevan of the Drake was
talking at the New York horse show
about rough weather.
Some one told the old story about
the winter day when it was so windy
that the crows all had to walk home.
Lieut.. Bevan laughed at this story,
SAYING he could see the black crows
trudging along the road against the
wind. Then he went on:
But that wind could have been
nothing to one that my boatswain
talks about.
This wind" the boatswain declares,
"came on in the Bay Of Biscay and II
blew so hard that 1t took four men
to hold the captains hat on. and even
then 1t blew all the anchors OF the
but<~ns of his coat"

OF their foes, and then continued their
way upward to complete the work
with the bayonet.
The defenders " the battery were
not lacking in numbers of bravery.
Doubtless many af them had per-
sona!ly participated in some such simi.
lar desperate assault in past battles
where the Northern and Southern
heroes measured their strength.
That brave Southern spirit was
shown on every battlefield of the civil
war-the world never produced better
fighters than flew to the defense OF
Dixie land.
over the crest rolled the line in
blue, and there they met the defend.
ers of the battery.
The earth fairly trembled with the
thunder as the big guns were dis.

charge.

Slowly the Confederates fell back
before such fierce onset-human ma

They knew they were beaten, but
seeing regiment hurrying to their
assistance kept up the fight with a
dJgged persistence.
Colonel Ridgeway deliberately turn
ed the battery so that it faced the
other way. and when the regiment in
gray came within the line such IL
storm of shot and shell burst upon
them that in trice, as it were, their
shuddering ranks had been pierced
again and again, and demoralized by
what they believed to be a destruc-
tive fire from their friends they fell
back in confusion.
Seeing this the Confederates on the
hill gave up all hope of success; they
threw themselves over the ramparts

hillside like covey of alarmed part
ridges.
Already column was on the way
to reinforce Ridgeway and his men.
He was the hero of the hour.
Colonel John had not come out un.
scathed by any means-several bull
lets had cut his garments in their
passage, for he had been a conspicu-
Gus object to the sharpshooters in
gray who crouched aloft waiting to
cut down all who wore the blue, and
it was almost a miracle how he ever
came out of the engagement alive.
One bullet had done little serious
damage, but this adventure-loving
soldier laughed and thanked his lucky
stars it was no worse.

IT HAPPENED IN JERSEY.
The Man Who Didn't Know About the

The Man Who Didn't Know About the
 San FranciscO Earthquake.
 Not all the world knew of the San Francisco earthquake. Within the range of vision one has from the top of the Flatiron building there was dis- covered the other day complete ignor- ance of the calamity.
 The discovery came as a jolt to some literary folk who live the simple but busy life in a cottage among the New Jersey hill an hours ride from New York. With the rural free delivery bringing the city paper on the day Of issue. they keep in touch with the outer world, and it was only the morning after 1t occurred that they learned of the earthquake and fire.
 The nearest habitation to the cottage is a farmhouse where daily visits are made for the purchase of milk. During the visit of Thursday, the day of the earthquake, none of the farmers fam fly, all gossips of the usual bucolic type, mentioned San Francisco at all. On Friday night, the visitor, while waiting for the milk pail to pc filled. remarked, apropos of a threatening sky that she hoped there might be rain in San Fran cisco too.
 why" asked the farmer, don't they have rain out there?"
 Amazed that any one should not know about 1t. the visitor told In a rush of excited words of the blow that had fallen on the Pacific coast city. The farmer stopped milking to listen open mouthed.
 .Durned If I heerd a word about it," ha drawled. when the visitor concluded. "You see I hadn't been daown to the village sence Monday an we don't do much readin' here. The Boonville paper comes every week. but Samanthy's eyes hez ben 90 bad lately guess she hain't read the last copy"
 The next evening the visitor brought besides the milk pail. bundle of New York papers --,,. ..vou can read all about the earthquake in San Francisco.
 Hands sake!" cried Samantha, was it San Francisco? Silas said it was Cin- cinnati!"

 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthfu1 influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to Perma- nently cure the habit.

Rain Doubles the Mall.
New York Sr

O IT.
 The mail is affected by the weather, according to a postal official, and wo- men. he says, are largely to blame for overworking employees on certain days in the year. Immediately after a spell of bad weather or even one rainy day the mail will be practically double, and then men will have to work overtime to handle 1t. In accounting for this state of affairs he says that women stay at home when 1t rains and answer their correspondence This duty is pretty generally put off when the weather is pleasant for more congenial occupations, but if the weather pre- vents their going out then they settle themselves to a day at their desks.

He apologized later, however, and every thing was thought to be all right. There was a quarrel, according to the story in the city, and Beavers was killed.

Willie th.s Is regretted 1t is understood that many housewives have been careless on this matter and have given out the washing to women whose name or address they never inquire for
 This makes tho scheme work all the more smooth and the negro women have very little trouble keeping their names and location hid.
