ONE ON THE SIDE.

It had been a long day for her. And
to think that she had been married over
four months. My. how time does fly"
said she, land we have been so happy,
too. 1 can hardly realize it."
1t was now nearly 5 o'clock and she
knew she would soon hear his familiar
footsteps on the porch The little JEFF
ferson street house was spick and
span, and as she entered the kitchen
the kettles on the range were merrily
bubbling.
And on the Kitchen table, daintily
placed on a cut glass stand was a
white frosted cake. 1t had been her
first attempt since she graduated from
the cooking class some months before
in the city.
Won't he be pleased said she. He
just dearly loves cake" Just then
then there was a clinking of key in
the door and she ran to the hallway.
Its been such a long day for me
dear" said she, kissing him, and L am
so glad you are home Supper is all
ready and I have such surprise fol-
you"
The dinner was soon on the table and
eaten and then came the surprise.
This is my first cake. dearest, and ]
made it just fory ou. I know you will
like it,
The frosted layers, indeed, look invit-
ing as she placed 1t in front of him.
He munched away in silence, and
she waited in expectancy for some
word of approval
What kind of cake do you call this?'
gasped the young husband, rubbing
his aching jaw"
Why, dearest, that is pyramid cake
responded the young woman, proudly.
Pyramid cake, Ell? BY links, might
have known it"
"Ah. you notice it's resemblance to g
pyramid?'
Il should say do. Its heavy enough
to be made of a stone"
And then her young heart was brok-
en-. and he had hard time trying tc
convince her it was the most dainty
morsel he had ever put in his mouth.

its melting point is reached. Then it
cannot be warmer. 1t changes its con-
dition to the liquid form.

Nervous Headache

Il know from experience that
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills will
relieve severe cases of headache
quickly" MRS. GEO. S. HENRY,
Sullivan, Wash.
In many persons the least excite
ment, exertion or irritation causes
headache. They cannot attend
church, theatre, places of amuse-
ment, travel, or mingle in a crowd
without suffering an attack of head
ache The nerves of the brain are
easily excited, and this irritable con-
dition causes pain. Such persons
should take
DR.. Miles And-Pain Pills
before starting out, or on the first
indication of an attack. They
invariably relieve all such misery.
The first package Will benefit; II not

RURAL CARRIERS COMPLAIN OF ROADS Bessemer Men Say They Are
 Bad After Rains LIBRARY IN NEED OF MONEY Ladies In Charge Find Demand For Books Growing Constantly and
 Have Not Sufficient Funds
 To Keep Up Supply.
LIBRARY IN NEED OF MONEY

Bessemer, April 5.-(Special )-Sev- eral of the rural route carriers leav- ing Bessemer each morning report sone parts of the roads over which they have to travel in an awful condition, and it means that they have to spend a great deal more time in making the trip than would ordinarily be the case.
 The postoffice has six rural carriers, and each man covers large territory. They report that in some cases the roads are in fine condition for stretches |of half mile or mile and then go all to pieces for the next mile.
 The carriers are in better position to judge of the conditions of the roads than most any one else from the fact that they travel them daily and they state that it is always genuine re- lief, when a good stretch of road is reached.
 It is not quite so bad on them duc ing good weather but when two or three real rainy days happen along they are hard put to it to get through their days work. If the roads in Jef- ferson county are eve- improved the men who have to travel through the country delivering the mail can be counted on to do everything in their power to help the good cause along.

GREAT FIRE BURNS
 BLOCK IN JOLIET

Joliet, Ill., April 5.-(Special)-Two men were badly burned in jumping through flames and one fireman was hurt in the path of collapsing floors, many other mar row escapes and thrilling experiences to- day when the Barrett block was gutted by fire, the most costly in the history of the city. It is estimated that the total loss will not be less than $15O0OO. The building was occupied by the Bar rett Hardware Co.,, said to be the largest company of the kind in Illinois outside of Chicago, the Joliet National bank and Order of the White Cross, and other offices.
 The confiagration threatened the en- tire business district for more than half an hour when the flames leaped high in the air and were carried across the streets to neighboring buildings. Only quick hard work by the fire department and hundreds of volunteers saved the Auditorium, a ,--ree-story building and the Chicago telephone office building and exchange directly across on Clinton street.
 Those injured:
 Julian Westfall, president German Saw ings bank, hands and face burned.
 Joel D. Jones, clerk waiting on MT. Westfall, hands and face burned.
 Charles Hack, fireman, badly hurt about head and neck, fell with falling floor.
