q flatter myself that I played rather an important and beevolent role tonight" averred the man with the liver. "A party of us was in a cafe. Among us was a beau- tiful young woman. I sat little apart with friend, who presently exclaimed:
 "Iook! Whats the matter with her?'
 "And I looked just in time to sec her fall back in her chair in a dead faint.
 'HWe rushed to revive her. When she came to it was found that she had seen her husband come into the cafe with another girl on his arm. That was why she fainted. They had been estranged and separated for several months. Now you krow it must have nearly broken her heart to see him with another girl if it made her faint. Somehow it made me feel bad. 1 went over and sat down by her.
 "'Do you want to talk with him?' I asked.
 "'Yes,' she answered.
 Well, then,' said I, you shall.'
 with that I marched myself over to her husband, a handsome fellow very well dressed, and brought him to her. He had eith- CT seen her faint, or heard of it. He was quite ready and willing to come.
 ''You know, he never went back to the other girl. He made ar engagements with some friends of his to take her home. He went home with his wife, both happy as larks, but not until he had treat ed the crowd of us right royalty"

NERVOUS PRosTRATIoN CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
BY Toning up the Blood and Nerves Pa
tient Recovered Weight, Strength
and Good Spirits.

When the nervous system is broken
down from overwork, or whatever cause,
life loses its joys Not only is the ner-
vous victim a sufferer himself but he is
usually trial to the whole family.
Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfulness. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. w. w. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park,
Everett, Mass, says: "About four years
ago this September I became all run
down from overwork and from confine-
ment to work during warm weather.
For two months l grew steadily worse.
I lost in weight and strength and had no
appetite. My memory failed me quite
rapidly and became in a very low
state, both physically and mentally. I
took no interest in life, neither in bust
ness nor recreation. In my position, as
foreman in q large manufacturing
chemists establishment in Boston, a
good memory is absolutely essential to
success because of the immense amount
of detail that must be carried in the head.
Il grew very despairing, could not
bear to have people meet me and my

at the end of two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends. I
continued using the pills until / was
thoroughly recovered. Iregard them as
fine remedy and make this statement
voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit

These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
Indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia. AS tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.

Unlucky Mans Modest Request for
Pecuniary Assistance.

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
while in New Orleans a few months
ago, took the opportunity Of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result of
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started for
the automobile which was to convey
him back to his hotel. AS he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt hand on his arm, and man
shouted in his ear:
Hello, Hitchcock, how are you?
Hear you put crimp in the bookies

Hitchcock blushed and shock hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man,
and not wishing to show it.
Say, l want to speak to you con-

"All right; what is it?" asked the
comedian.

The man followed the advice and
was cured, but the habit of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked UP as
lunatic. He was stopping at hotel
and, hearing a great commotion in the
room next to his. he peeped over the
transom to see what the matter was.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

''My little son, when about year
and half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about year and half of suf-
fering he grew so bad had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk.
sent to the drug store and got cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores Of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem

died from these terrible sores. I used

Clever Trick Of Tramr.

A queer comedy of cheating is now
causing much amusement in Paris.
A laborer named Bedasne, living at
KNOXVILLE, in the Eure ct Loir, went
to Melun with two pounds in his
pocket. Having spent this in liquor,
he conceived the idea of getting on
to Paris for nothing.
Finding an empty third-class com.
rartment, he fastened a flannel belt
round his neck, stuffed handkerchief
into his mouth, pitched his empty
purse onto the opposite seat and, ly'
ing down, first had a sleep and then
when Paris was reached, refused to
give any sign of life till the alarmed
station staff poured a cordial into his
mouth.
Then he was taken to a hospital
where he told story of being at
tackled by three men, but police ques
tons becoming too difficult, he al
last related his stratagem, and was
hailed from his sick bed to prison.

ROMANTIC DEVoNsHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made US familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, 1.-THE River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years I drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when ! realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, concluded to
try it. / had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end Of a
week, that no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, or brain
flag, and that could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use Of the old kind Of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder Of
