going was only to be with her cousin on the most momentous occasion of her life.
 Ethel English was clipping with Clark Breckenridge! And Annie Bai- ley knew they weren't coming home until little Miss English was Mrs. Clark Breckenridge.
 From Carmichaels they started to motor swiftly to Washington, Pa. For the moment luck was against them. The car broke down and the brideto- be was i7 tears.
 For an answer to her pleadings to hurry, for fear they would be caught, young Breckenridge telephoned for another car, and in half an hour it chug g-chugged up and once more little Miss English smiled. They hurried along swiftly in the second car to Washington, and there put the auto in convenient garage, all three talk ing the train to Steubenville, o.

It was ten o'clock at night when they got back, tired out, dusty, hungry and happy though little frightened at what they had done.

 The sisters started toward young Mrs. Breckenridge the moment she stepped off the car. True to her new dignity the bride resented their inter- ference. The sisters sought to drag her home. The bride wouldn't have it at all and there was hair-pulling match right in front of everybody
 It was rather sad ending for such a pretty little romance. The brides family were all trying to get her to go home the Breckenridges and their friends were equally determined that Clark's bride be let alone. The bride

BREWING FOR HIS OLD HOME.
Possibility That Unfortunate Was Not
 Altogether Deserving.

The old man was seated in the park, great tears coursing down his cheeks. He was such a pathetic picture that the sympathetic passer-by stopped and asked him if he were ill
 Yes, sir said the sorrowing old fellow. q have just had bad news from home, The house that has shel- tered me for years is to be sold and torn down, and I haven't penny to my name to stop it. Everybody in it will be turned out, and Heaven knows what will become of them.''
 Poor soul.' said the sympathetic passer-by, slipping dollar into the old mans hand. That isn't much money, but you are welcome to it"
 Thank you, sir said the old fellow, smiling through his tears. Every lit tie bit helps, and I am very much obliged to you
 Where is this old home of yours, my friend?" asked the philanthropist.
 Up at Sing-Sing," replied the old man. Its the jail, sir. I've lived there 25 years altogether"
 And the philanthropist passed on.- Harpers Weekly

SECRETS OF BURMESE DOCTORS,
Cures fer Cobra Bite and Hydropho-
 bia They Will Not Divulge.

Everyone knows, of course, that the bite of the Indian cobra is fatal. But wha1 Europeans do not actually know is whether or not the natives of India really possess the cures they claim to have both for cobra bite and for hy drophobia.
 A few years ago an Indian civilian i1i Burma strolled out with his gun in the evening. When scarcely hun dred yards from the zayat or shelter in which he was camping S-- was bitten in the leg by cobra, which he promptly shot. He at once returned to the Zayat and scrawled pencil note to be carried by his orderly to his chief, the deputy commissioner, and then resigned himself to the atten- tions of 8 couple of Burmese medi- cine men wlo happened to be passing the night there and to the death which he accepted as absolutely in evitable Meantime his superior off cer proceeded direct to headquarters on receipt of the news to seal up the

 On the road he met the dead man. comfortably jogging along toward headquarters quite recovered. The Burmese medicine men had scarified the wound and rubbed a certain paste into it. They had also given the pa- tient certain infusions to drink and had cured him. Nothing, however, would induce them to give away the secret.
 Our own medicine men have many cures of hydrophobia 10 their credit, but cures of cobra bites are almost unknown An English officer in the Shan states kept a number of dogs, one of which recently went mad and bit Ole of the sahib's servants. The station was an isolated one. The services of a Shan doctor were called in and the servant, after passing through all the severe stages of the terrible disease, was absolutely and completely cured by the Shan doctor
 The English officer offered 1000 ru- pees for the secret of the treatment used, and to a Shan this would, Of course, be a large sum of money. But the secret was never diyulged.

 Thrashed by Bridegroom.
 When Dr. English heard how things had come out-he was securing the countryside for any trace of his miss ing daughter by that time-he sent his two sons to bring her home. Clark Breckenridge promptly thrashed both for attempting to interfere in his fam fly affairs.
 Dr. English was furious.
 'I'll bring her home," he declared, and he drove right over to the Breck- enridge place from his farm at Red stone township.
 He staiked boldly in and was con- fronted by the bride. Then he did what fathers have. done before, but perhaps never to bride. He took Mrs. Clark Breckenridge-if you please-right across his knees, and gave her a good, sound, oldfashioned spanking.
 Now come home where you be- long, added Dr. English.

A Steel Gray Man.

A stern visaged man, with his steel gray whskers cut to make him look like captain of industry, was walking briskly down Superior avenue recently past the city hail. Near the entrance he saw a little dead sparrow that had fallen to the sidewalk. He paused and picked up the dead bird. Makes me think of when l was a kid,'' he nut tered. We always used to have a reg ular funeral and bury 'em when they died Well, I'll put it over here where it won't be all ground to pieces by peo- pie walking by. anyway" He placed the feathered little body on ledge of the building and then hurried on down street.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

OCULiST A MAN OF RESOURCE.
Has Blind Beggar Woman to Adver-
 tise His Business.

Enterprise takes various forms, even in Warsaw. A young oculist, finding that patients were few and far between, hit upon an original means of advertising.
 He engaged a blind woman who sits and begs by the Church of the noiy Cross to hold light board whereon are written his name, address, profes- sional qualifications and consultation hours.
 As the church is in the busiest thoroughfare of the town the notice attracts good deal of attention. The beggar herself says she is quite satis- fled with the results, as many people notice her who would otherwise pass by, and as the doctor has added his assurance that she is hopelessly blind benevolent old ladies throw cop pers into her tin mug, sure that their money is not wasted on an impostor. It is not yet known whether the num- Der of patients has increased.

THE FLOWERS OF SPEECH.
One Time When John Barrett Didn't
 Say Just What He Had in Mind.

Worthily or unworthily, Hon. John Barrett has the reputation of being the champion amateur broad-jump and hurdle speechmaker of the United States. He used to be the American minister to Siam; he has since been made the director of the bureau of American republics, and is still hop ing But his friends say he can talk, and will talk, if you only ask him, on anything between Siam and Brazil, and won't mind guessing at few more things besides.
 Yet even Hon. John himself admits that he has had his setbacks One of these, he says, occurred in Siam.
 Along about 1905," he recently re- marked when I was in Siam, l was honored by an invitation to deliver the graduation address at the con- mencement exercises of that country's only and most select ladies' seminary. I had studied the language hard, and thought 1 knew something about it.

The trio had only been going osten- sibly to the Dawson races near by, and why had they not returned? Soon the telephone wires in all directions were made hot by the two fathers, trying to locate the fugitives.
 By this time they were at the coun- ty clerks office in Steubenville. But even before that Dr. English had got wind of their direction and telephoned by long distance wire to Steubenville.
 Nothing doing," said the clerk, la conicaily, when Clark Breckenridge brought Miss Ethel in for a license. We've heard from papai"
 The three turned and fed
 Why, father might get here any minute,' gasped the girl; i've must get away somewhere!"
 Young Breckenridge was resource full enough. He bundled the two girls aboard a trolley ear and in a few minutes they were over the state line into West Virginia, where it isn't so hard to get married. Dr. Englishs s phone hadn't reached that far, and by hard work they got a license and found parson who was willing to tie the knot. {,

An Artists Generosity.

The famous painter Corot and his sister were joint owners of some house property in the Faubourg Pois- sonniere. One day one of the ten nants-a tailor-came to Corot and said he could not pay his rent. What can do for you?" asked Carot. q cannot intercede for you with my sister, because I am not on good terms with my family. GAS matter of fact, Corot was regarded as a failure" by his family) However" he added, "here is the money to pay the rent, only don't let any one know I have given it to you
 The tailor after this used to return periodically when his rent was due, and obtain the money from Corot, who remarked on one occasion: T appear to be very generous. But am not, be- cause I get half of it back from my sister as my share of the rent. Lon don Globe.

largely for material and supplies, in the manufacture of which labor is the largest item
 The loss to the entire country on account of inability of railroads to purchase supplies is as serious to the public as the forced reduction in the payrolls. Last year the total amount of the railroad purchases was one and a quarter billion dollars. At the pres ent time they are only buying at the rate of one-half billion dollars per an mum, which at this rate means a loss to the manufacturers and the general trade of the country of more than S150 100000 a year, or two million dollars a day. If to this is added the approximate one million dollars working day which the railroad em- ploye is suffering of this heavy loss, it is apparent that the business of the country is losing at this rate approx imately three million dollars a day on account of shrinkage directly connect ed with railroad operation.
 Do you wonder why the Labor
 
 is reporting that one-third of the union men are idle because there is no work, or that Jacob Schiff is appeal ing to the city officials of New York to open up municipal work for their relief?
 There is another phase of railroad activity not included in the foregoing Mp ahJ ie ioh is seldom mentioned in connection with figures dealing with employees, wages and material. 1 refer to con- struction of new railroads and more extensive improvement of existing ones to meet the growth of the Ma tion's traffic. l refer to the army of men usually employed in this work and the large amounts expended for supplies, tools, fuel and other mate- rial, the greater part of which has been cut off.
 The railroad employees are well-in- formed and capable citizens. Thy give due credit for the good which has been accomplished through healthy reforms within the last few years. They are not unmindful that proper regulations to prevent abuses and to give fair treatment to the public are necessary.
 There should be no difficulty in surmising the thoughts of the railroad man. He knows that one out of every four of his fellow-workmen is idle or working short hours. He fully real izes that something is wrong. He un- derstands that the man who con- structs 1000 miles of railroad gives actual and permanent employment to 6,000 railroad men, and thereby fur nishes the means of living for 24,000 souls constituting their families.
 He is thinking and hoping for bet ter times. The vital issue will be the man and the job, and the candidates of both parties will have to meet it in both National and State Campaigns, with due regard to public welfare, at the same time encouraging full restora- tion of confidence in the country's in- stitutions that construction, recon struction, manufacturing and general business may again assume their nor nal activities"

The immoral man, who invades an- others property, is justly hanged for 1t: and the ill-bred man, who, by his i'll manners, invades and disturbs the quiets and comforts of private life, is by common consent as justly ban ished from society. Mutual complais- ances, attentions and sacrifices of lit- tie converiences, are natural an i'm piled compact between civilized people as protection and obedience are be- tween kings and subjects; whoever, in either case, violates that compact just ly forfeits all advantages arising from it.-Lord Chesterfield

 visit her cousins, the Baileys At the same time young Breckenridge had vacation and he went to Carmichael's, too. And there he met pretty Miss English-viyacious, clever, pretty as a picture and young and romantic to her finger tips.
 He had met Miss English casually before, in Brownsville, where he lives, but there were plenty of other young chaps around then and he was only one of fifty. But here at Carmichael's the field was clear for him. Miss Ethel did not know a single other soul in all the town except her relatives, the Bailey family, and when young MT. Breckenridge touched his hat in the street to the pretty little girl from Brownsville she colored a bit and stopped to speak to him.
 What brings you here?" she asked, interestedly.
 "Oh, I'm just on vacation" said the young man.
 Isn't that nice?" exclaimed Miss Ethel. I'm here, too, for a visit with my cousins, the Baileys. Won't you come up and see me, and we'll talk over Brownsville?"
 I'll only be too glad" replied the young man, flattered at the invitation from such pretty, Hkable girl as Ethel English. I'll come around to- night"
 Now, most Brownsville folks say that this was pure chance, this meet ing of the two young people in an other town. But there are a few who declare that young Breckenridge had fallen in love with the girl the first time he say her at Brownsville and that he had gone purposely to Car michaels, where he could have the field alone to himself At any rate, there had been another girl to whom he had been engaged, but three weeks before he had given her up-the req son he gave at the time was because she lad danced with another fellow.
 So that very night the young man called on pretty Miss Ethel. They sat out on the porch and talked of many things. Next morning it was a stroll through the quiet lanes of the country side and ln the afternoon a drive. There was candy. too, whenever the young man came, and flowers very often.
 And all the time the Baileys didn't suspect a thing-the young people were just enjoying their vacation.
 The EIopement.
 There was a garage in CarmichaePs and occasionally young Breckenridge got speedy roadster for an after noons run. Nothing was thought of that, either, by the Baileys, for often when the two went out for spin they took along Miss Annie Bailey, the young daughter of the family where Miss Ethel was visiting.
 So, when an auto spin was proposed one bright afternoon the other day and Miss Annie was invited to accom- pany Miss Ethel, nobody had the slightest objection. But Annie Bailey was in little secret, too, and her

What is Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in real ity such a catarrb remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispcnsatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna.
 Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes lining various organs of the human body.
 Another ingredient of Peruna, cory dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as tonic.
 Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna. The United States Dispensa- tory says of the action of cedron that it is used as bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and ill inter- mittent diseases as a substitute for quinine.
 Send to us for free book of testi- monials of what the people think of Pe- 'runa as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it.
