Grafton at the meeting.
The railroads claim that much Of
the car shortage is due to the fact
that they are unable to keep their
cars on their own roads. Twenty-Five
roads have agreed to abide by any
rules made by the conference for a
period of six months. and 1t is hoped
to bring all the members Of the
American Railway Association into

RECENT EVENTS THAT SEEM TO D1spRovE OLD SAYING

There was one quarrel after an
other Finally after particularly Sc
rious rupture, the young wife left her
husband, and later there was a di-
vorce.
For a time the young man devoted
himself strictly to business. His
father died, leaving a large estate, in
which he shared very generously. He
invested heavily in Nevada mining
properties, and his judgment proved
sound. He turned over the money his
father had left him with such care
that he largely increased his own
wealth; he became one of the most
prominent young men in the Western
mining field.
Of course, he couldn't stay in Ne
vada always
He heard the call of the Great
White Way and he answered it. Some
months ago he ran overland for few
weeks in New York, and of course he
had to have his nails fixed up after so
many months in the wilds of Nevada
and it's mining camps.
This was on March last.
By chance Miss Byers was assigned
to take care of young Mr.. Dunlap's
fingers He found himself facing a
tail, GlDSOneSQue young girl, DdTely 10,
who treated his nails so deftly that he
was captivated at once. He glanced
for second time at the young woman
who held his big hand so lightly in her
own, and he was smitten very, very
badly.
Became Regular Visitor.
He paid his fee and went away.
Next day he was back again. His
nails seemed to be bethering him very
much, though the polish which Miss
Byers had put upon them had hardly
worn off at all.
There was another polishing and an
other trimming, and the young mil
lionaire went away neither heart
whole or fancy free. In fact, he was
very much in love. And so Miss
Peart's parlors saw the young million
aire there every day.
But there was a fly in the ointment
not the nail ointment, which was ir-
reproachable.
1t was a much more serious propo-
sition. Just about the time that the
young man got ready to lay his heart
and his fortune at the feet of the pref

brought Miss Byers home after the
theater. But so persuasively did her
daughter plead and SO ably did young
Mr. Dunlap aid and abet her that Mrs.
Byers readily gave in.
Went to West to Wed.
Mr.. Dunlap was suddenly summoned
West He went to Nevada, leaving
word for Mrs. Byers and her daughter
to meet him in Chicago. They were
there on time; so was he. Even then
the two young people tried to keep the
engagement secret. In fact, both de-
MED it, and so did Mrs. Byers. But
the flowers and the notes that were
constantly going up to Miss Byer's
apartments told their own story. So
mother and daughter quit Chicago,
and so did Mr.. Dunlap.
That didn't keep Mrs. Byers and
Miss Lavender from going to Milwau-
kee, and there the young millionaire
met them. Mr.. Dunlap promptly went
to the proper authorities and got a
marriage license. Then he went to
the circuit court and induced one of
the judges there to grant special dis
pensation from the five days limit.
In a few minutes the young people
were married. They took the first
train for New York.
Bride Is English.
Mrs Dunlap No. is considered one
of the handsomest girls who has ever
been a manicure in New York. She
is tall, slender, with perfect poise and
exquisite carriage She was born at
Hackney Downs, suburb of London.
Her family lost their money and came
to this country when Miss Lavender
was only little girl in pigtafls. When
she grew up she found it necessary to
support herself
She will have to do so no more.
Right on the heels of this comes the
announcement of the marriage of Miss
Annie Mcdonald, who has inherited
$25, 900, and now intends to marry a
poor young man to whom she had
given her heart long before she ever
dreamed of being an heiress.
For four years Miss Mcdonald pol
ished nails at No. 81 West Twenty
third street, a barber shop, where she
was the only woman employee. Last
week she received a very formidable
looking legal document from Duncan
& Fitzgerald, solicitors, the Strand.
London 1t bore the comforting news
that she had inherited 5000 pounds
sterling from her grandfather. Angus
Kibbe. and that the money was wait
ing for her upon proof of identity.
This didn't take long,

New York.-The way to a mans
heart-through his stomach-that's a
dead letter now. The new love route
is through his fingers
If you doubt the suggestion read the
facts.
All the pretty manicure girls seem
to be winning husbands just now be-
cause they can polish and prink up
the finger nails of the rich young men
who wouldn't dare to be seen at any
dance or dinner after candlelight with
out having their fingernails immacu-

Just before Easter there was a ten
tative announcement of his engage
ment to Miss Lavender Byers, the
prettiest girl in a fashionable mani
cure establishment on Broadway,
which is conducted by Miss Mary E.
Peart. And Miss Byers is not the first
who has been won from that resort
of the young men who feel that it is
absolutely essential to have their nails
carefully tended.
Two other pretty young women
have already put aside the nail paste
and the polisher for the pleasanter
duties of running some rich young
mans home Two others of Miss
Peart's staff have become the wives of
wealthy patrons.
Tried to Keep 1t Quiet.
Of course, inasmuch as Mr.. Dunlap
has been divorced once and sued for
breach of promise by another young
woman, he made every effort to have
the engagement kept a strict secret.
But somebody told it to somebody
else, and that somebody else told it
to third person-and there you arei
Finally Mrs. Byers had to tell it to a
few of her intimates, and then every
body knew. Mother and daughter
have gone to Chicago, where they have
met Mr.. Dunlap, just from Nevada,
where he has been making all kinds of
money. The rest is easy to guess.
They were married in Milwaukee last
week.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
o1d-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas.
bitters, 1axatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural ortgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one Cd
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on Large scale, advertise it
mainly through a1manacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DIR.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS or
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr. Hartman's Judgment. and to rely
on his remedy. Peruna-

such information is evident from the
fact that according to conservative es-
