How to Bankrupt the Doctors.

A prominen New York physician
says, If i were n not forth tor the thin stock
women the doctors would probably be
bankrupt. When you contract cold
do not wait for it to develop into pneu-
monia but treat it at one. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is intended espe-
cially for coughs and colds, and has
won wide reputation by it's cures of
these diseases. 1t is most effectual
and is pleasant to take. For sale by

IndelIcate.

Washington's cosmopolitan society
contains many members whose dol
lars came too late to supply the ad.
vantages of early education. An illus
tration of this occurred last winter,
at a dance given by one OF the cap
ital's most opulent dowagers. The
lady's debutante daughter appeared In
the ball room In an ultra decollete
gown.
Isn't 1t rather imprudent for your
daughter to wear so low a gown on so
cold a night?" remarked a "catty"
young matron. she's quite delicate,
isn't she?"
Mercy. mol" exclaimed the mother
OF the fair bud She's one OF the
most indelicate girls you ever saw"
Yes: / observe she's dancing the
grizzly bear" said the young matron
with incisive sweetness.

cash the check. Her sole fear was
that Cannon. as soon as she was gone.
might have regretted his action and
telephoned from his Office TO stop the
payment on It. She knew that once
the money was hers he would not
make any attempt to get II back. His
own reputation and that of his daugh-
ter were too inextricably bound up
with the transaction for him to dare
to apprehend or punish Berry for her
deception.
Her heart gave wild leap as she
saw the teller returning. and then
pause behind the netting of his golden
cage while he counted out the bills.
She tried to speak lightly to him as
he laid them one by one on the glass
slab. She was hardly conscious of
, what she said; all she realized was
that the crisp roll of paper in her
fingers was her possession. If not of
great fortune. at least of something
to stand between her and the world.
When she left the bank she walked
forward slowly, the excitement which
had carried her on to this point hav-
| ing suddenly left her feeling weak
and tired. She entered the railway
office and bought her ticket for New
York for that evenings train. Then
once more emerging into the sun
shine she directed her steps to the
car which would take her to her sis
tiers. She had decided to spend her
last day In San Francisco with them.
As the car whisked her up the hills
she carefully pondereh on how much
she would tell them. where truth was
advisable and where fiction would
serve a better purpose.

Talking of constitutional melan-
choly, he observed: "A man so af.
fiicted. sir. must divert distressing
thoughts. and not combat with them"
Boswell-"May not he think them
down, sir?" Johnson-"No. sir. To
attempt to think them down is mad
ness. He should have a lamp con-
stantly burning In his bedchamber
during the night and, II wakefully dis
turbed. should take book and read
and compose himself to rest. To have
the management of the mind Is
great art. and 1t may be attained In a
considerable degree by experience and
habitual exercise" Boswell-"Should
not he provide amusements for him
self? Would It not. for instance, be
right for him to take a course of
chemistry?" Johnson-"Let him take
a course OF chemistry. or course of
rope dancing. or a course of anything
to which he is inclined at the time
Let him contrive to have as many re.
treats for his mind as he can, as
many things to which It can fly from
itself"-Boswell Gife of Johnson).

Once in the. street her demeanor
again changed. Her step became
sharp and quick, her expression keen

clock showed her that 1t was nearly
half-past ten. and she walked. with
speed that was as rapid a mode OF
progression as 1t could be without
attracting attention. to the great bank

the way down on the car she had
thought out all her movements. just
what she would do, and where she
would go. Her mind was as clear. her
movements as systematic as though
she were moved by mechanism.
She ran up the steps to the bank
