Column after coiuf1n has been writ ten deploring the fact that the buyer spends her or his money away from home, that she or he is helping to build up the mail order house to the detri- ment of the home merchant. The sen timent is good and the cause is worthy of the efforts being made to stop this undertOw; but no amount of writing. and no amount of home patriotism will ever overcome the bad effects of the dead merchant in the little town. The truth can be plainly seen.
 Let us turn back to the general stores and look up the proprietor of any one. He probably will be found busy waiting on customer, but if not he will tell you that it is not the cata- logues alone that he fears, but also that it is the lethargy of these two dealers. They are helping to drive away trade from home.
 I have wandered from the subject and gotten over on the buyers side of the fence; but isn't it we'll at times to look at the other side of this pitiable story? I started to write few lines on Why People Should Trade at Home" and have gotten into the field of Why the Home Merchant Should Induce People to Trade at Home" It may be fair to the little town to once in a while throw few shoyels full of earth on the dead merchant, lest he stinketh and polluteth the rest.

MRS.NELLiE MARKHAM

A nervous irrita ble woman. often on the verge of mysteries, is source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and mis- erable herself.
 Such women not only drive nus bands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children.
 The ills of women act like fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-t tenths of tho nervous prostra- tion, nervous despondency, t h e 'blues". sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic Arrangement.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with ex- treme irritability ? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region. bacl1ache, bearing down pains, s,nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessnesS, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in shattered con- dition and you are threatened with nervous prostration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact.

of DR.. II. n. Marvin of Dover, disap-
peared. For a time it was supposed he
had wandered away and become lost,
but the conviction was soon forced
upon the distracted family that he had
been kidnapped.
Rewards were offered and detectives
undertook the search for the boy. 4
ship captain was arrested on suspicion,
but he was speedily discharged. Mean
while the State increased the fervor Of
the search by adding to the personal
offers Of reward until the sum now
amounts to $4,000 for the recovery Of
the boy II the capture of his abduc-
tors.
Philadelphia detectives believed the
child had been carried to that city n
they made a careful search of the ne
gro quarters. This belief was based on
the statements of Walter Winner that
he saw such a child on Market street
in charge of two negro women. At that
time he had not read the kidnapping
story, but he was struck by the beauty
of the child and wondered that he
should be in such company.
Then the State authorities received
a demand for pay for returning the
boy. This demand came through a New
York detective agency to whom it was
mailed from the Canadian border near
Detroit. The name signed to the let
ter is that Of a big negro with a bad
reputation in New York. While the
letter may be a fake so much attention
was paid to it that detectives have been
sent to the neighborhood from which it
came.
The disappearance. Of little Horace
was remarkable. DR.. Marvin with his
family had recently moved upon a farm
which he has purchased from Charles
GoodeH. On the day Of the disappear
ance Mr. GoOdell was drawing away
effects not included in the sale. The
Marvin children and their cousins were
playing hide-and-seek and as Goodell
was driving away a number Of them
ran to him and asked If Horace was in
the wagon. Mr.. Goodell had seen the
boy sitting atop of a haystack as he
drove by. He told the children so and
they ran back. But they could not find
the boy and finally gave the alarm
That was the last seen Of the child.

Ee1s spawn Mt Sen.

The fact that biologists nave been all
at sea about the whereabouts of the eel
family's breeding comes to light through
the announcement that Danish marine
scientists have just completed investiga-
lions showing that the cells Of Europe
spawn at a depth of $500 feet in the At
lantic ocean to the southwest. Accord
ing to the cabled account, from innumer-
able eggs there appear tiny Larvae called
leptocephali, which are transparent, jelly
like and fiat, having something Of the
contour of a ~tailless herring. 1t is not
known how long the eggs take to de-
velop the leptocephali, but the latter oc-
six months in transition to the
familiar e~lvers, which are about 2 inches
long. TIL elvers then migrate in count
less swarms to the shores of western Eu-
rope, travelling in columns sometimes sew
eral yards wide and miles long. Nothing
stops their progress. If they encounter
a ship they separate to the right and left
and rejoin in the vessels wake. They in
wade every river and waterway on the
coasts, ascending steadily %landward. They
even ascend small waterfalls, penetrate
streams and wriggle over swamp grounds
into ponds and bitches.

subjective Drowning.

one back tooth was concealed under a
decidedly damp rubber dam. The pa

talkative lady was suffering agonies Of
discomfort.
The engrossed dentist paid no heed

An American city once asked Mac
Monies, the sculptor, to enter a design
for army and navy groups for a sol
diers' and sailors monument. He de
clined to compete. Then the commits
sion was rendered to him outright. He
submitted sketches of his idea for the
groups. The committee in charge Of
the monument wrote him, asking:
"How many ton Of granite do you in
tend to use in the baseT His reply
was: eff you are in the business Of
buying granite o may use as much
as you want, Il ton or 100000 tons.
I am an artist, Inc I never yet heard
of art being bought by the pound"
The question was dropped until the
contract for the commission was
drawn. When Mr.. MacMonnies re-
ceived it he discovered in it a clause
providing that in case the bronzes were
ever thrown down from their base, by
any cause whatever, and any .person
or property should be injured, he Al
his heirs forever should be liable f0v
the damage sustained. He returned
the contract without comment, I'M
signed. When the committee wrote
him, asking the reason, his brief reply
was, "Your lawyers are too sharp

fits, so decided TO stop at home with
Selma for company. Kitty, therefore,
accompanied Mrs. Killer to the ball, but
the guardianship Of that lady was more
nominal than anything else, as she went
off with Mr.. Bellthorp after introducing
Kitty to Mrs. Meddlechip, and danced
with him the whole evening. Kitty, how
ever, did not in the least mind being left
TO her own devices, for being an extremely
pretty girl she soon had plenty of young
men round her anxious to be introduced.
She filed her program rapidly and kept
two valses for Yandeloup, as she knew
he was going to be present, but he AZ yet
had not made his appearance.
He arrived about a quarter past ten
o'clock, and was strolling leisurely up
to the house. when he saw Pierre, stand
ing amid a number of idlers at the gate.
The dumb man stepped forward, and
Fandeloup paused with "A smile on his
handsome lips, though he was angry
enough at the meeting.
Money again, l suppose?" he said to
Pierre, in a low voice, in French don't
trouble me now, but come to my rooms
tomorrow"
The dumb man nodded, and Vandeloup
walked leisurely up the path. Then
Pierre followed him right up to the steps
which led to the house, saw him enter
the brilliantly lighted hall, and then md
himself in the shrubs which grew on the
edge of the lawn. There, in close hiding,
he could hear the sound of music and
voices, and could see the door of the
fernery wide open, and caught glimpses
Of dainty dresses within.
Vandeloup, quite ignorant that his
friend was watching the house, put on his
gloves leisurely, and walked in search of
his hostess. Mrs. Meddlechip glanced ap-
provingly at Nandeloup as he came up,
for he was extremely good looking.
Released from Mrs. Meddlechip, CASTOR
went in search of Kitty, and found her
with Felix Rolieston, who was amusing
her with his gay chatter. ..
Il don't want to dance" Kitty said
CURLY, pointing to the seat beside her as
an invitation for him to sit down.
Pardon me- observed Vandeloup,
biandty, Il do; we can talk afterwards
if you like
Their eyes met, and then Kitty arose
and took his arm, with a charming pout.
1t was no good fighting against the quiet,
masterful manner of this man, so she
allowed him to put his arm round her
waist and swing her slowly into the GEN.

one who could dance, and a good many
who could not, were up on the floor. Ev-
cry now and then, through the steady
beat of the music, came the light laugh of
a woman or the deeper tones of a mans
voice and the glare of the lights, the
flashing jewels, the soft frou-frou Of
dresses, and the subtle perfume of flow
ers gave an ndescribable flavor to tho
whole scene.

Nebraska wins TAX cases.

The United States Supreme Court, in a
decision announced by Justice Holmes,
rules that the Union Pacific and Burling-
ton railroads must pay the tax rate on
their property in the State of Nebraska,
to the amount of $3,1OO,OOO. This in
cludes the taxes of %19O4-O5-O6, with pen
alties for non-Rayment. The railroads
had offered to settle for $2,2OO,OOO. The
objection to payment had been made orig
inally on the plea that the equalization
board, acting under the influence of po-
litical agitation, had so increased the val
uation Of property as to almost double the
aggregation payment of railroads in pre-
vious years. 1t was charged that the
board took into consideration interstate
business and. property of the railroads To-
Gated outside of the State, but on these
points the court decided otherwise.

cHAPTER XIV.

Owing to the quiet life Kitty had led
since she came to Melbourne, and the
fact that her appearance on the stage
had taken place in the country, she felt
quite safe when making her appearance
in Melbourne society that no one would
recognize her. 1t was unlikely she would
meet with any of the Pulchop family
again, and she knew Mr.. Wopples would
hold his tongue regarding her, so the only
one who could reveal anything about her
would be vandeloup, and he would GER
tainly be silent for his own sake, as she
knew he valued the friendship of Madame
Midas too much to lose it. Nevertheless.
she awaited his coming in considerable
5trepidation, as she vas still in love with
him, and was nervous as to what recep-
tion she would meet with.
Vandeloup, on the other hand, was
quite unaware of the surprise in store for
him. When he next called on Madame
Midas he wa shown into the drawing
room by the servant. There were no
lights in the room. as it was not sufi-
GENTLY dark for them, and vandeloup
smiled as he saw a FIRE in the crate.
