FORGOTTEN bv Death.

Once upon time, In the days when
things never happened, there lived a
man who feared only one thing and
that was death. If he could live for
ever, he thought, how fine it would
be. Maybe Death overheard him and
decided to grant his wish, or perhaps
being busy taking off young children,
promising young men and women. or
parents who were needed, Death SIM
ply forgot him. At any rate, the
man lived en- and on. He outlived his
family, his descendants, generaticn
after generation, all his friends. and
the descendants of his friends. No
one knew him, and his day of useful
ness was so long ago that. having none
of the hopes. ambitions. or experiences
of today, it was as if he talked in a
different language. He lived on, and
on, and forever, but Death had for
gotten him. and though he prayed to
die as fervently as he had once prayed
to live, he couldn't die. And If you
sorrow for one who has lost his life.
think how much worse it would b.
to never lose it; to be like this tired
old man whom Death has forgotten.

The LAUGHTER Cure.

1t is all very we'll for a German doc
tor to prescribe hearty laughter as a
remedy for nervous diseases, but per-
haps he will also be good enough TO
tell us where we are to get the ingre-
dents for his prescription.
One cannot we'll sit down and laugh
It'll the tears run down the cheeks" at
nothing at all, however anxious to
cure a severe attack Of neuralgia.
When one comes to think Of it, few
things make one laugh to this extent,
and what is one persons meat where
hilarity is concerned may prove SO
poisonous - another as to plunge him
to the very depths of depression.
There are people who will double up
with merriment when they see some
one else fall down a fight of steps,
and afterward describe it as 'the fun
niest thing they ever saw" but most
nervous patients probably would not
laugh at all if in order to effect a
cure an attempt were made to excite
their hilarity by throwing relatives
and servants down stairs. Nerve spe-
cialists who adopt the laughter cure
will have either to practice clowning
or keep trained fools to set their pa
dents Gin a roar ."-Lady's Pictorial.

out. Sometimes they waded through
puddles. and sometimes it was only
stick mud. Sometimes they fell. and
sometimes the mud about their feet
held them upright until they could
brace up for another struggle
The hired man was heard hooting
long before the living ghosts reached
the gate. and grim Amt Judith was
found there with lantern. OF course
she was worried half to death. AS the
bedraggled couple stood before her she
held up the lantern and surveyed
them.
"You went to carry old Mrs. Renfew
a berry pie"' she finally said.
''Yes," was the demure reply from
Hilda.
''And she threw a barrel of water
over you and then rolled you in the
mudv
''No."
"And then this-this person happened
along and she treated him in the same

and took shelter in the old deserted
house. He also got caught in the rain
and did the same. and he has helped
me home"
"And this-this PERSONS name is?"
"Walter Allen, ma'am, and was on
my way to Farmer Browns to become
a summer boarder for couple of
weeks" answered the young man.
'GTo be near Hilda, Of course! She
left a letter lying around today that
explains all. Well, sir, Farmer Brown
is a respectable man. and he goes to
bed at o'clock, and here it is an hour
and a half later. Come in, sir, and get
out of those sopping clothes and get
into bed, and you can 60 on after
breakfast"
"And what about me, aunt?' plain
lively asked the girl.
''I will see about your case in the
morning, miss!'
But Aunt Judith was buffer. She
waited two weeks. during which the
young man was almost boarder III
her house, and then wrote to her
brother-in-law in the city:
"You may be a good lawyer, John,
and may be an Argus eyed old maid.
but Cupid has beaten both of us, and
we might as well make the best Of it. -

himself. When he wanted to give aid
anonymously he said. THAT'S from
the old man. Many gifts went out OF
his pocket under the signature of '"The
Old Man."
A young girl went to the business
office of the great packing concern one
day to report the illness Of a friend
who worked as a stenographer In the
Office. Mr.. Armour happened to stand
near and overheard the girls request
for an advance in her friends salary
with which to pay the doctors bill.
Thrusting his thumb into his vest
pocket-that pocket which seemed a
mint of greenbacks-he handed the girl
a roll of bills.
''Take that to your friend" he said,
then adding to relieve the girls aston
ishment, "Tell her the old man sent
it."
Before the girl could thank him he
was gone, but just as she left the
building he again appeared and, find
ing her gone. hurried hatless into the
street.
Here, herei 1 forgot something, -
he called.
The girl turned back, and without a
word Mr. Armour pressed something
into her hand She looked down. 1t
was a twenty dollar bill.
Mr.. Armour had decided that his
gift was not sufficient and FASTENED to
increase it.
