Hot m Good Idea.
A certain Cleveland reporter con-
ceived a brilliant idea. He took It np
to Superintendent Kingsley.
"Mr. Kingsley," he said, with an in-
sinuating smile, "wouldn't it be a clev-
er scheme to have a wedding take place
in the new tunnel?"
The superintendent looked a little
startled.
' Can you supply all the necessa-
ries?" he inquired.
The reporter felt pretty sure he
could.
"Loving couple, best man, flowers,
cake, ring and all the rest of it?"
"I'll have them ,on hand when want-
ed," said the scribe.
The superintendent looked thought-
ful.
"No," he slowly said, "it will not do."
The reporter was grievously disap-
pointed.
"And why not?" he demanded.
"Because," replied the superintend-
ent, slowly. "It certainly would be
criminal carelessness on our cart to
admit persons to the tunnel who are
suffering from any form° of heart
trouble.
Two Shades.
Two misty shades met in illimitable
space.
"Ah," cried one, "why sighest
thou?"
"I sigh," replied the other, "over the
sad decline of a decaying stage."
"You do!" cried the first. "How
strange! For, you know, this la-
mentable decline sorely afflicts me as
well."
"Tq think," moaned the other, "that
at this very moment a makeup nose—
save the mark!—doth move the ground-
lings to ardent admiration. Was ever
anything so grotesque, so flippant, so
coarse ?"
"Never!" cried the first; "it passes
belief. This Cyrano's° nose seemeth
more like the gibing face of a Christ-
mas mummy than the staid accessory
of a Christian play."
*'I am glad," said the wailing one,
"to find such quick and touching sym-
pathy. May I ask your name?"
"I," proudly replied the . other, "am
Richard's hump. And you?"
"I am Trilby's foot."
And they drifted away together.
Cosily Cogitation.
Newed—A penny for your thoughts,
darling.
Mrs. Newed—Oh, they will cost ycu
more than that.
Newed—What were you thinking
about?
Mrs. Newed—The dres3 I ordered
yesterday.
A great deal of gossip, like many
other things, is nauseating.
How is this?
Perhaps sleepless nights
caused ft, or grief, or sick-
ness, or perhaps it was care.
No matter wnat the cause,
you cannot wish to look old

A NATION OF DYSPEPTICS.
From the Mountaineer, WaVidtta, W. Dakota.
The remorse of a guilty stomach is what a
large majority of people are suffering with to-
day. Dyspepsia is a characteristic American
disease and it is frequently stated that "we
are a nation of dyspeptics."
Improper food, hurried eating, mental
worry, exhaustion; any of these produce a
lack of vitality in the system, by causing the
blood to lose its life sustaining elements. The
blood is the vital element in our lives and
should he carefully nurtured. Restore the
blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia will
vanish and good health follow.
For example, in the county of Pembina,
North Dakota, a few miles from Walhalla,
resides Mr. Earnest Snider, a man of sterling
integrity, whose veracity cannot be doubted.
He says:

CHEROKEE STRIP
The Doetort Disagreed.
"I became seriously ill three years ago.
The doctor gave me medicine for indigestion,
but I continued to become worse. I had sev-
eral physicians at intervals who gave me
some relief, but the disease would return with
all its accustomed severity.
"I read in the newspapers articles regard-
ing the wonderful curative powers of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and
finally concluded to try the pills. I purchased
six boxes. This was "five months ago. The
first box gave me much relief. I continued
taking the pills, and after using four boxes
was cured."
These pills are recognized everywhere as a
specific for diseases of the blood and nerves.
For paralysis, locomotor ataxia, and other
diseases long supposed incurable, they have
proved their efficacy in thousands of cases.
The New Ten.
Matrimony has ten commandments.
These were studied out by Theodore
Parker shortly before the day of his
wedding. They took the form of ten
beautiful resolutions, which he in-
scribed in his Journal. They are as
follows:
1. Never, except for the best rea-
sons, to oppose my wife's will.
2. To discharge all duties for her
sake freely,
3. Never to scold.
4. Never to look cross at her.
5. Never to worry her with com-
mands.
G. To promote lier piety,
7. To bear her burdens.
8. To overlook her foibles.
9. To save, cherish and forever de-
fend her.
10. To remember her always in my
prayers. Thus, God willing, we shall
be blessed.
Smoker's Cramp.
A new disease has appeared which
has been styled smoker's cramp.
It is very similar in its effects to
writer's cramp, or scrivener's palsy.
The disease is caused by rolling cigar-
ettes with one hand.
For many years it has been common
in Spain, although some smokers are so
expert as to make a cigarette with a
single twist of the fingers. Since the
law was recently passed- in France
permitting the manufacture of hand-
made cigarettes, large numbers of girls
have been employed in rolling ciga-
rettes by hand.
It is among them that the disease
has appeared. In Spain, however, it
is not confined to the cigarette girls,
but is a common ailment among the
rest of the population who indulge in
the fragment but baneful papelito.
(Continued.)
God bless her! And she called me
Fred! Her heroism fanned yet bright-
er the flames of love in my heart, and
I felt that her language indicated that
she held me in more than ordinary re-
gard.
Were I dealing with fiction I would
write a lurid description of a desperate
conflict between the sheriff's posse and
the outlaws, but as I am dealing in ac-
tual experiences, and the story will, no
doubt, be read by many acquainted
with the facts, I must adhere closely to
the lines of truth. The special stopped
about a mile north of the station to al-
low the posse to disembark, and, by ad-
vancing noiselessly, surround the depot
And capture the robbers; but, alas, for
the well-laid plan, the noise of the train
was heard, and fearing a trap, the
scoundrels, leaving me a parting curse,
hastened from the office, mounted their
horses, which had been secured near by,
and made their escape before a shot was
fired.
A few months later, while on leave
of absence granted me from the hand-
some station given me in a beautiful
Kansas town, a telegram was handed
to me as I stood in the parlor of Mrs.
Rankin's pretty cottage home in Ar-
kansas City. I read it and handed it
to the little woman dressed in bridal
robes who stood at my side. Then the
chief train dispatcher read it aloud to
the assembled guests. It ran as fol-
lows:
Topeka, Kas., May 10, 18—
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Saunders, ArkaDsas
City.
All the officials of the Santa Fe com-
pany join in warmest congratulations,
with the sincere prayer that the new
lives you to-day begin may never be
shadowed by a cloud of care. While we
regret the loss of the valued services
our little heroine of Red Rock, we
glean satisfaction from the fact that we
will yet hold her husband, and will
also feel that she, too, is a cherished
member of the great Santa Fe family.
May the sun of true happiness ever il-
lumine your lives.

HIS LIFE'S MISTAKE.
Weather and Suicide.
According to an eastern journal, the
record of metropolitan suicides for
four years does not support the popu-
lar belief that heated spells drive peo-
ple to destruction. The fact of the
matter *is, however, weather extremes
do kill off young and old whoso vitality
is below par, as the mortuary lists dur-
ing the prevalence of hot and cold
waves show. Whether or not these
weather extremes increase suicides can
only be determined, not by counting
the causes assigned, but by noting the
waves of suicide and their relation to
weather changes. As a primary cause
the weather will, perhaps, rarely ba
put on record, but as a secondary
cause, it is quite possible hot and cold
waves may lead more despondents
and afflicted to take their lives than
when weather conditions are normal
and agreeable.

Woman's Mission^
Successful competition in any field depends on physical health.
1 A HJVTT W k |v questions about
I A lyl II | \ |c woman's future
JXXlTJLLLfl21.i\ are constantly
asked.
Shall women vote? Shall they practice law?
Shall they compete with men in every field?
Whatever woman's mission may finally be de-
clared to be, it is certain that something
must be done lor her physical health.
Ignorance, superstition and mystery sur-
round woman's delicate organism. Heroic
efforts to endure pain is part of woman's
creed. Many women's lives are a constant
struggle withlassitude; many are violently.
ill without apparent cause, and few indeed
are in normal health. <
This is all wrong and might be different
if women would follow Dr. Hartman's ad-
vice. Perhaps the most practical printed
talk to women to be found anywhere is in
Dr. Hartman's book called "Health and
Beauty," which the Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.,
Columbus, O., will mail free to women
only. It is certain that Dr. Hartman's
Pe-ru-na has proved a perfect boon for
women's diseases of the pelvic organs. It
treats them scientifically and cures them
permanently. All druggists sell it.
tl I received your book and commenced
the use of your medicine at once," writes
Mrs. H. D. Amoss of Greensboro, Ga., to
Dr. Hartman. "I took five bottles of
Pe-ru-na and two of Man-a-lin. I feel like a new woman. When I commenced
taking Pe-ru-na I could hardly walk across my room; now I am doing my own
work and ean walk to church. I shall never cease to thank you for prescribe
Ing for me. I had been under the treatment of two doctors but never received
any benefit until. I commenced taking your medicine. I wish every woman
who was suffering as I was jrould send for one of your books. May God bless
you and spare you many years to relieve women who are suffering as I was."

perhaps heard ere this, although some
of our mossbacks here- in the moun-
tains refuse to believe it. When Lee
surrendered I was the superior office*
of the handsome first lieutenant, whom
I hated and envied with equal passion.
I came out of the army with a cruel
Wound in my shoulder, and it was
months before I came back to this part
of the country, where I had found
and loved and won my pretty Lucy.
"The old-time scenes and associations
(although the war had brought many
grievous changes) seemed to open my
emotions anew, and one Sunday I de-
cided to go to her.
"I had gone perhaps half the way
when I came to a switch on which
stood a dilapidated locomotive. An
engineer and his assistant were en-
deavoring to polish its rusty wheels
and boiler. They were discussing the
pros and cons of matrimony.
" 'There's no use in talkin',' said one;
'there's mighty little sincerity In wom-
en.'
" 'That's true,' reiterated the other.
'I went to the war engaged to the
sweetest girl you ever clapped eyes on,
but when I came back she was mar-
ried to a cowardly cur that never saw
the smoke of a musket.'
"So I was not the only one, I
thought. I retraced my steps, boarded
a train, and a month later was digging
a gold mine in the Grand Canon of
Colorado.
"Years later I was at the depot at
Denver awaiting a train to take me
back east, and was much surprised to
find myself face to face with Lucy's
brother Jim.
"That night we talked over old
times as we smoked our cigars and 'et
memory drift back to the exciting days
"Why did I never marry? Well, I'll
tell you."
The little crowd of listeners looked
interested as Col. Wiley, the handsome
white haired bachelor, settled back in
his chair, as if to more comfortably
relate the story of his escape fram mat-
rimony.
"I was very much in love, but you
would know that when I tell you that
she was as fair and lovely a girl as
these Virginia skies ever looked down
upon. A true southerner,she was loyal
to her state and was proud to say that
her ancestors were among the F. F.
V.'s.
"While a slender little creature, she
was a splendid horsewoman, and knew
every inch of our rugged mountain
roads. Of course that was just be-
fore the war, and I was a young chap
then.
"Her name was Lucy, a good, old-
fashioned name that we southerners
fStill cherish, and do not change to the
more airy Lucile, as do our northern
neighbors. It doesn't matter about her
Bufhame; you'd all recognize It were I
to1 divulge, so I shall be silent concern-
ing^ * *
"She was the daughter of the house
and had two large brothers, who look-
ed upon Lucy as a mere baby and
guarded her quite as zealously. I first
I had to win their friendship before get-
' ting anywhere near being even a mere
acquaintance with Lucy.
f When the war broke out both
■ brothers were filled with the enthusi-
asm of the battlefield, and by constant
allusions to their bravery, and adroit
carefully worded remarks concerning
their excellent appearance in the uni-
forms of the confederate gray, i aaon
won them completely over. As' for
Lucy, she regarded,-me with suspicion
for some time, but suffice to say that
when I marchcd away into the fire and
thunder of Shiloh a little golden curl,
a locket enclosing the photograph of a
pretty girl, and a Bible, her gifts, were
snugly and carefully tucked away in
the lining of my coat.
Lucy's brothers and I were enlisted
in the sama regiment, and in that way
I frequently, heard from her. Their
father, a strong minded, stubborn, aris-
tocratic old fellow, had positively for-
bidden an engagement or even com-
munication of any sort. She was-too
young, he said, to have her mind turn-
ed topsy-turvy with love nonsense.
"She made no effort to disobey, but
when she gave me the curl and locket
and looked at me through tears that
were just falling from her great blue
eyes, I felt that in the battle of hearts
I had not lost, and that in due course
of time I'd claim the indemnity of war
and call little Lucy my own.
"This blissful condition continued
for six months or a year. Then came
the usual uncertainties, suspicions and
jealousies that so frequently disturb
love's young dream and bring despair
to youthful lovers.
"It was this way: Our first lieuten-
ant was a dashing young officer, as
fearless as a young lion and so hand-
some that the privates soon dubbed
him 'Master Prettyboy.' We were
cleaning qpr muskets one day, prepar-
atory to tie morrow's fight, when Mas-
ter Pfcetty 1ioy? came strolling along and
paused .near us, saying to Jim, Lucy's
brother: 'I received; a charming letter
from your sister today. She sent her
love to you two boys and asked me to
tell her how far you both ran at the
first fight.'

of 'G4. I thought of the dashing first
lieutenant and casually asked:
" "And whatever became of Pretty-
boy?'
"'Why, didn't you know?' he .*o-
plied. 'He married my sister Kather-
ine '
" 'Your—sister—Katherine?' I gasp-
ed. 'I—I never knew you had any sis-
ter but Lucy.'
" 'She's a half-sister. My father was
married twice, and Katherine always
lived with her grandparents. Say, by
the way,' he added, 'we thought at one
time that you were rather smitten with
Lucy.'
"You can imagine my eagerness to
reach once more dear old Virginia.
How beautiful the dusty old town look-
ed as Jim and I sprang from the train
and almost ran down the stret toward
his old home!
"Our footsteps sounded loud and
drear as we walked across the porch
and Jim opened the door. Jim tramp-
fed along the hall shouting and laugh-
ing and asking* if the place were de-
serted.
"Then his mother, bent and gray
and her once beautiful face furrowed
with; lines, came softly toward us. She
fell into Jim's arms, sobbing as she
did so.
" 'It was thoughtless for me to come
without telling you beforehand,' he
said. 'I might have known it would
upset you.'
"She but sobbed the more and could
not speak. Then she took Jim's hand,
and I following, ledjus to an upstairs
room and gently prished the door ajar.
.. " 'She died but an hour ago,' the
mother said, but I heard as if in a
dream. Then going to a table she took
up some letters, and, trembling and
sobbing, handed them to me, saying as
she did so: 'Lucy left these. She said
there was one for you.'
"There was but one sheet and on it
but a line or two—simply: 'I did not
forget, and I have waited patiently. I
love you, dear.' "—Chicago News.

CHINAMEN
AS SOLDIERS.
But Oae Celestial Enlisted in the Wax
of the Rebellion.
The enlistment.or a Chinaman in the
volunteer army of California the other
day re<ial]s thfr fact that there was but
cne celestial in thfe. war of the rebel-
lion. His Chinese* name'Is unknown;
but the name under which he enlisted
was Thomas Sylvanus. He was born
in Baltimore about eighteen years be-
fore the outbreak of the war. When
only a child he was taken to Pittsburg,
where he acted as a servant for a
wealthy family in that city. When the
war broke out Thomas ran away and
enlisted in the army. He served Un-^
c!e Sam until the close of the war,
shortly after which he turned up in
Indiana, Pa., where he resided until his
death, which occurred a few years ago.
While in the service of .. the United
States Sylvanus contracted a disease of
the eyes, from which he went almost
blind. In 1880 he applied for and was
granted a pension of $12 per month.
He also secured several hundred dol-
lars back pension. An examination of
the records discloses the fact that Syl-
vanus was the only Chinaman in the
late war, and consequently the only
one of his race who drew a pension. At
last accounts his widow and children
were still living in Indiana, Pa.—

Glanders.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 1.—Three cases cf
glanders have developed in the country
during the past week. As soon as the
cases were passed on by a veterinary
surgeon the horses were ordered killed
and paid for by the- county. A 'sharp

Texarkana, Tex., Oct. 29—Tho board-

on Olive street, was destroyed by fire
at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Thei e
were about a dozen guests in the >uild-
ing< ail of whom escaped without their

ing. The total loss of the house and

The Damage.
Galveston, Tex., Oct. 29.—The fire on
the British steamer Aldersgate was
found to have been at that stage where
the hatches could be opened and the
damaged cotton removed. Enouglx
was seen to justify the belief that the
damage was slight as a result of the
steam pouring into the hold for the
past three days. It is believed that be-
tween 500 and 600 bales are damaged,
but the damage so far as seen' will
not exceed $3 a bale. *!
