Oh! what bliss! People in Scot

calomel or other slam bang cathar-
tics that act harshly on sick livers.
CARSWELL'S LIVER-AID has the
call these days; every hour in the
day; it's going faster than the pro-

It's changing hundreds of weak,
sickly, lazy and overworked livers
into healthy. strong and vigorous
ones. 1t is driving poisonous waste
from the body; putting an end to
indigestion and all stomach misery
and causing constipation sufferers
to rejoice.
CARSWELL'S LIVER AID is
pleasant and harmless; it takes the
place of calomel. Children can take
it freely; its gentle action cleans out
tLeir little bowels in fine shape. It's
a splendid remedy for sick headache,

Search in two continents Is being
made for the sword that congress pre-
sented to Major General Baron Won
Steuben when he resigned from the
Continental army at the close Of the
Revolutionary war, but SO far no trace
Of it has been found. A joint commit
tee of the senate and house is seeking
1t so that q description Of it may be
included in an official story Of the un-
yelling of the statue to the Revolu-
tionary hero in this city recently. Ap-
peals to historical and patriotic societies

It Is believed the weapon, which

France. 1t is known that Baron Won
Steuben willed 1t to Colonel Benjamin
Walker, his aid, and it is supposed that
Colonel Walker, in turn, left it to his
daughter, who later was married to a
French army officer.
The weapon was presented to Baron
Won Steubcn by congress by resolu-
ton adopted on April Is, 1874, on his

The story of how jean Richepin
came to adopt literary career is pic
turesque. For some time he had pick
ed up a precarious livelihood by doing
''odd jobs" including such prosaic oc-
cupations as that Of bootbiack and
casual porter on the Quai Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle
man to carry to the railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station.
there was an instant mutual recogni
ton. They were old college chums.

Jean.
"Why do you DO this?'
because I must"
"Where do You liver
"Come and see" replied Iiichepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
70 his dwelling-a miserable room in
an attic fin tie poorest quarter Of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps Of manuscripts-Jean's incur
sionS IN the realms OF poetry when
the more prosaic duties of the day
were over Looking through them. his
friend was astounded at their quality.
"Why do yon carry trunks and b!acken
boots when you can do work like
this?" he asked. Richepin hnd never
given the matter q thought He had
never deemed these products Of Idle
hours worthy Of publication. Pub
lished they were. however. In a very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean

She Refused $1,000 Endowment Prom
Andrew Carnegie.
The other day Helen Keller visited
Andrew Carnegie, and as a pleasant
surprise he proposed to settle upon
the blind and deaf girl IN income Of
5000 year for life. She refused it
promptly.
Mr.. Carnegie explained that it would
be pleasure for him to feel that he
could have share in her future by
providing enough to leave her free to
utilize her talents without financial
Worries She thanked him, grateful
for his thoughHulness, but said:
II feel that I am able now to pro-
vide for myself, and I want to make
my own little place in the world 1 do
not want to feel dependent on any one.
! want to give back to the world some
service for oil that has been done for
me and to feel that it is my own con-
trfbut1on'
Insisting that she accept the endow-
ment, Mr.. Carnegie asked why she
should refuse his tender when she had
accepted Mr.. Rodgers aid In her col
lege education. That was different, she
explained, as her family had been un-
able to meet the heavy expenses Of her
education, but now that she was edu-
Gated and thoroughly capable Of self
support she could not accept favors
from any one.
A widely known educator, In rclat-
ing this incident few days ago, said
1t touched and thrilled him more than
anything he had heard for years-this
afflicted girl, approaching the generous
spirit Of Mr.. Carnegie, firmly refusing
to accept an endowment that famous
