Here is a simple homemade mix

Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well-known physician is authority
that these ingredients are all harmless
and easily mixed at home by shaking
well in a bottle. This mixture has a
peculiar healing and soothing effect
upon the entire Kidney and Urinary
structure, and often overcomes the
worst forms of Rheumatism in just a
little while This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure
the Rheumatism by forcing the Kid
neys to filter and strain from the blood
and system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which cause

CHAPTER VII.
At the Winery.

It was o'clock on Saturday after
noon, and Mrs. Cheney and the little
maid of-all-work, 'Tunia, were terribly
busy. For it was Mrs Cheney's birth
day, and company was expected to
tea The parlors and the drawing
room had been placed in an
inviting condition, and so had the
combined room at the top of the
house.
Mrs Cheney was fair, buxom, amia-

in her ferties. Her house was the
incest looking, neatest, and prettiest
in a long road in Remington, which
still retained traces of its rural days.
Mrs. Cheney's house was known as
The Winery, and real vine grew on
the front of it, and occasionally, to the
10Y of the inmates, there were real
grapes on it. They were very small
and very green, and they never got
larger or ripper, but they were grapes,
and the newspaper boy and the butch
er's boy, and boys of indefinite occu-
patton, invariably stopped to gaze at
them and to admire them when, in
the month of September, they were
distinctly visible to the naked eye.
Mrs. Cheney herself was rather glad

A DOG COMMITS SUICIDE.
Fororn Cur Leaps from Eighth Story
of Building.

In a fit of melancholia, billie
Scroggs," little waif, homeless and a.
wanderer, committed suicide by jump
ing off the ledge on the eighth story,
just under the coping of the Evening
Star building. Billie acted strangely
all day. He did not run around with
his characteristic abandon, making
friends with the newsboys, and this
excited comment.
Unobserved, he climbed the stairs
in the newspaper building. 1t was
pleasant to sit high above the mad
ding, rushing crowd below, far above
the reach of old shoes, tin cans and
firecrackers. But, alone and undis-
turbed by curse or kick, his melan-
cholia grew, and with face upturned
toward the new moon, hanging clear
above the post Office tower, he howled
piteously. Finding no solace, he paced
up and down, and his agitation grew
when in an agonized moment he saw
little Jimmy in the street below, and
leaped.
Pedestrians passing the corner
stopped suddenly as his little body hit
the pavement with thud.
Two young ladies of romantic dis
position who were passing at the time
were deeply affected by the scene, and
were all a-futter, one of them exclaim-
ing: II wonder was it live or just
fits"
The little body hurting through the
air narrowly missed several persons,
and the suicide created something of
sensation. A great crowd congregat-
ed and curses in life were turned to
sympathetic, kindly words in death,
as billie" breathed his last.

NEW ENGLAND's HISTORIC TREES
Havoc Wrought by Recent Storms
Among Cherished Antiquities.

Among CherIShed Antiquities.
None of our antiquities are more
cherished by healthy natures than our
ancient and historic trees.
When the Old Elm on the Common
blew down, about thirty years ago,
there was a genuine grief among the
older residents, and there was a gen
eral scramble for souvenirs of this
patriarch of our Oldest park, even
down to the smallest twig.
The Charter Oak at Hartford has
given it's name to numerous institu-
tions, and it's remains have been scat
tered in various forms, artistic or 9TH
erwise, through the homes of Con-
necticut and even other states.
The Old Elm in Cambridge, under
which Washington received his COM
mission from the Continental congress,
but now fast tottering to it's fall, has
been the shrine of hundreds of thou
sands of patriotic pilgrims. The Sc
we're storm of Saturday night was al
most fatal to two more remarkable
sentinels of as many towns. me
Revolutionary tree at Arlington was
two-thirds destroyed, and probably the
remainder has sustained mortal in
jury.
But Lancaster mourns an even great
er loss. Her chief native distinction
is practically destroyed. Her Queen
Elm, which has been declared the
largest in Massachusetts, is wreck.
For years it has been braced with
rods and bound with iron bands, but
the force of the incipient tornado was
too strong even for these. The di-
ameter of it's spread was thirty-fve
feet, and the ground circumference OF
its trunk nearly thirty-seven. To these
two towns the storm brought general
bereavement.

stage. Fad they advanced beyond
that her vine would constantly have
been damaged, if not destroyed, by
the boys of the neighborhood, whose
habits were predatory. and whose
methods of helping themselves to the
contents of a front garden were sum-
mary.
The house, taking it's name from
the vine, was called The Winery, and
Jane Cheney, whose husband, town
traveller for a firm of sweetmeat MAX
ers, had early in their married life
gone out one foggy day and never
been heard of again, having it on her
hands comfortably furnished, decided,
after she had abandoned all hope OF
solving the mystery of Tom Cheneys
fate, to keep it on and earn her liv-
ing in letting it out in apartments.
She was an excellent cook, good
housewife, and a splendid little wo-
man of business, and she managed so
we'll that she not only let her rooms
well, but kept her dodgers.
Her sole assistant in the housework
and the waiting was TUNA, who came
to her child of fifteen, and was, on
the occasion of the little birthday
party at which we are presently to
assist, twenty-five.
Mrs. Cheney trusted TUNA implic-
lily, and the dodgers were on terms
of general familiarity with her Which
almost amounted to personal friend
ship.
For TUNA was treasure, and, be-
ing such, there was grief almost
amounting to despair when she-be-
ing of a loving and romantic nature
became engaged to young policeman
whose beat lay in the immediate
neighborhOod. Having a handsome
face, a little black moustache, and
big brown eyes, he had won 'Tunia's
heart while strolling by her side when
she fetched the supper beer from the
Princess of Wales, public house
with all the latest modern improve
ments at the top of the road.
'Tunia's peculiar name was no mys-
terry to the dodgers, as they had all
been at The Winery long enough to
learn all about it. This pattern Of
generals had been named Petunia
by her father, a working gardener,
who had determined to call his female
children after flowers. He didn't name
any more, because all the rest were
boys.
Petunia was quickly shortened to
Pet; but when the girl, owing to fam
lily circumstances-he father died and
her mother married again-sought a
situation and came to Mrs. Cheney, it
was felt that there would be incon-
venience in calling her Pet. The
dodgers would not be likely to take to
the diminutive kindly. SO the other
half of the name was adopted, and
TUNA had been 'Tunia ever since.
