USED BIBLE AS CIPHER.
A Verse From Solomon Told of Mar
riage Engagement.

rage engagement
When she left her home In the small
town to come to New York to take up
a special course of study her pet sis
ter was fast reaching the crisis Of a
love affair. The pet sister was a most
winsome young lady and had long kept
goodly train of suitors assigning.
Was this affair to be the grand affair?
The older sister hoped so, for she liked
the young man ordially-thought he
was just the sort to make a proper
brother-in-law.
But the weeks passed, and not bit
Of definite news about the progress of
the affair did the older sister receive
in her city boarding house. She be-
came anxious. Louise, she thought,
must not go on recklessly trifling in
such important matters.
Then one night about 10 o'clock, just
as she was going to bed, came a tele-
gram. The servant brought it up.
The elder sister was country girl
enough to be thoroughly frightened by
the pale manila, black linked envelope.
How ominous it looked At length she
gathered courage to open it. This is
what she read:
Solomon six three. LOUISE.
Solomon six threel Whatever in the
world! Oh, why, yes, stupid, 1t of
course meant the Song of Solomon,
sixth chapter, third verse! But-and
her cheeks flushed with shame-she
had no Biblel
There was a great scurrying about
The boarding house to find copy of
the sacred book. The girls were rout-
ed out in vain. On all sides the cry
arose, who's got Bible?" Just think
Of the sister trying to sleep that night
without knowing what that verse was!
1t would have been just like a woman
to lie down to pleasant dreams, content
to know that she could satisfy her GU
riosity in the morning not!
The landlady, good soul, came to the
rescue. She was no heather. She had
Bible. Up to her room with 1t flew
the sister and shut the door. Such a
turning over Of pages by eager, nerv-
Gus fingers! Solomon six three. She
found 1t, and then she cried 'Hurrahr'
and laughed, for the verse was:
I am my beloved's, and my beloved Is
mine.

The Story of q Medicine.


It's name-"Golden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by q car
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid Of 'apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use Of alcohol,
SO generally employed. So the now world
famed "Golden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
1t ever since has been, without particle
of alcohol in its makeup.
A glance at the full list Of its ingredi-
ents, printed on every bottle-wrapper,
will show that 1t Is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
In our American forests. All these in
gradients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical ex-
perts, teachers and writers on MdtertG
MedScd who recommend them as the very
best remedies for the diseases for which
eGolden Medical Discovery" Is advised.
A little book Of these endorsements has
been compiled by DR.. R. Y. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
ent schools of practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure Of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure Of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or
hang-on-coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, If pot promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
In consumption. Take DR.. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere in Its use
until you give 1t fair trial and it is not
likely to dfsappoint. Too much must not
be expected of 1t. It will not perform
miracles. 1t will not cure consumption
In its advanced stages. No medicine will.
1t totlJ cure the affections that lead up to
consumption, If token IN time.

THE SPECTER SWIMMER.
A Legend of the Sea That Still Appeals
TO SaiIora

A Legend of the Sea That Still Appeals
to Sailors.
The sailor as a class still holds fast
to the superstitions that have been his
especial heritage throughout all ages.
To him the sea is still peopled with
phantoms. Men there are still who sail
the sea believing in the power Of the
Swimmer, men who believe in the Wal
rus of unholy fame and In the exist
ence of the specter bark Lucy to be
seen at any time lodging in and out Of
the creeks and bays of the South Caro-
lima coast. This is the tale of the Swim
mer:
Near Cape Finisterre there lived a
fisher maiden in days when the world
asked fewer questions than now, and
with her. lived her fisher sweetheart.
On their wedding night, runs the yarn.
smugglers came down on their village,
a thieving drunken band. When they
left, having done all the damage they
could, the fisher maiden's sweetheart
had disappeared, whether with them
or through them was never known.
Instead of pining uselessly, as would
most women, she dressed herself in
mems clothes and started to find him,
dead or alive.
For years she wandered over the
earth and ocean, and, though her dis
guise was penetrated several times
and she passed through host of trou-
bles which vary with each telling, she
succeeded in keeping up her hunt FL
nally after escaping from an English
prison the vessel she was on was lost
at sea, and the simple Breton fisher
men enshrined her In q legend which
has her forever swimming the seas
still in search of the man she loved
and hailing each craft she nears A
sailor, be he Yankee or Portuguese,
matter of fact in all things else or
grossly superstitious, believes firmly
that If you hear the hail of the Swim
mer on dark night at sea and an
swer it not woe follows swiftly.-New
York Herald.

THE POOR CAT.
One Occasion When the Animal Did
Not Coma RanL

One Occasion When the Animal Did
| Not Come Back.
When the cat died the whole family
went into mourning, figuratively If not
| literally. No common back door cat
| this, but one that must be buried with
all honor. The question was how and
! where.
Some one proposed cremation, but
this was rejected on the ground that
1t sounded too much like lynching. 1t
was finally proposed that the father,
who had to cross a ferry every day to
his place of business, should drop it
overheard, and as burial at sea rath-
or appealed to the sentimental attitude
of the family this idea was received
favorably
The following morning the remains
Of the cat were made into package
and securely tied. 1t was a lovely day,
and the ferryboat was crowded with
passengers, and what had seemed SO
simple at home assumed unexpected
difficulties in the face of a curious
crowd, ready to imagine anything and
to put the worst construction on an ap-
parently mysterious action.
Finally 1t occurred to the father that
the best time would be the evening,
and he could slip the cat overheard
without attracting notice in the dusk
Through the day it occupied a corner
Of his office, and he was glad when the
time came for the return trip.
He waited until the boat was well
out in the stream and then, CHANGING
around furtively, laid his hand on the
package Suddenly It struck him what
would seem strange in broad daylight
would seem doubly so at night
With a smothered groan he replaced
1t on the seat beside him. There was
no help for 1.-THE would have to carry
1t home again.
As he took his seat in the train that
was to convey him the rest of the way
he placed the cat on the shelf above
bis head and for the first time that
day forgot all about it. Hurrying to
get or the car when he reached his
destination, he was halted by some one
behind him, who thrust into his hand
the Ill fated package.
When he reached his house he threw
1t down on chair in the hall and went
In to supper. In the middle of it the
maid came in and asked how she
should cook the meat he had brought
with him?"
Meat" he exclaimed. "That isn't
meat It's
But at this moment the maid pro-
duced the package and showed him a |
choice piece Of meat. History does not |
say what the man said who got the
cat-New York Sun.

A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley
and Formed a Friendship.
One of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in a very awk-
ward predicament on a certain occa-
sion. He was to spend the evening at
the house of a friend and ordered his
carriage early, as he had a long drive
back to his own home.
When the hour arrived the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that
Lord Dudley was considerably annoy
ed by the delay, one of the guests,
whose way homeward lay past his
lordship's house, politely offered him a
seat in his carriage. The gentleman
was almost a stranger to Lord Dud-
ley, but the offer was accepted.
The drive did not prove very socia-
BILE one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in low but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan-
ion, to his establishment, heard him
say:
Pm very sorry l accepted his offer.
l don't know the man. 1t was civil
certainly, but the worst is l suppose
| must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon
the same unpleasant subject when the
voice of his companion broke the still
ness.
Apparently this stranger was affiict-
ed with the same malady from which
his lordship suffered, for he exactly
initiated Lord Dudley's tone as he
said:
Perhaps he'll think did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, l would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. l hope he won't ask me to din
ner, for 1 shan't accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered
his hand to his companion, making
many apologies for his involuntary
rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A boys idea Of a hero is another
boy who runs away from home.
Nothing is so often overestimated as
the information given confidentially.
As rule. what a man calls his
rights represent merely desired privi-

You may have forgotten more than
the other man knows and still be a
short horse.
The man who is scared into being
good is the one most likely to boast
of his exceeding virtue.
There are lots of ways of wasting
time. Feeling sorry for yourself brings
about as little returns as any.

very much.

DRINKING Excuses.

Excuses for drinking are always at

fall back upon Dr. Sam Johnson's,
