Of woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part—
Lo! there iB the battlefield.
No marshalling troops, no bivouac songs;
No banner to gleam and wave;
But, ohl these battles they last so long—:
From babyhood to the gravel
Yet, faithful still as a bridge of Btars,
She fights In her walled up towns—
Fights off and on in the endless w^rs.
Then silent, unseen—g^ss down.
0 ye with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
1 tell you the kingliest victories fought
Were fought in these sujlent ways.
O spotless woman in a world of shame l
With splendid and silent soorn,
Go back to God as white as you oame,
The kingli«st warrior born!

Why Her Bloomers did not Fit.
Into the tailor’s presence she came like a
shot from a gun, and looked suoh daggers
at him he felt inclined to run.
Her black eyes flashed with anger and hor
language was profuse, and when she raised
n threatening hand he trembled in his
shoes.
“You ninth part of a man,” she yelled,
• ‘I’ll crush you as a fly; this earthly planet
never held a greater fright than I.
“Gaze on the bloomers which I wear.
You made them, sir, for me. Don’t look
with suoh a stupid .stare, but scau them
parefully,

it strange a bit that I am fighting hot?

gay, am I not a fright? Why, they are
tight where they should bo loose, where
loose they should be tight.”
She slowly turned that he might scan
the fituess of the clothes, and as he gazed
that tailor man blushed like n rod, red rose.
With laugh suppressed and bows profuse,
he sfid she’d epoken right; where they
y,.re tight they should be loose, where

"a sensible man.
The public had deoided that Jack Wilton
was a sensible man.
Quite sensible,” said ambitious mam-
mas. “Sensible’indeed,” replied acqui-
escent papas. “Very sensible,” growled
gruff old bachelors, and “So delightfully
sensible,” pronounced the maidens with
one voice.
Such a harmonious structure of public
opinion could hardly have been erected
without some foundation, and Jack Wilton
did possess many of the qualities that
made the general verdict just.
In the first place, he had shown his good
sense by keeping a level head when he had
distinguished himself as center rush on
the university eleven. He was the same
fellow after being carried on the shoulders
of his companions in entliusiastio honor of
his brilliant playing that he was when in
training as a freshman sub.
It was then that peoplo began to notice
his good sense and to comment upon it. It
pleased them and grew upon them. .
To be sure, he did not take honors at
graduation; but, then, one man cannot be
expected to do everything. And later he
made up for all else by going to work for
himself instead of quietly and easily drop-
ping into business with his father, as so
many young men do and as all expected
him to do.
But when, after throe successful years,
people saw him growing into commercial
prominence the public was confirmed in
its opinion that Jack Wilton was a sensi-
ble man.
Society’s doors were open for him, and
his position in the polite world was a most
enviable one. ,
It was well 'expressed by Katherine
Mann as she stood chatting with a group
of girls at Mrs. Willoughby-Webb’s recep-
tion.
“There comes Jack Wilton,” she Said,
“the most fortunate man in town. When
he oame out of school, he might have had
the pick of the city, and now the belles of
the whole state are at his feet.”
“But he doesn’t seem to care,” chimed
in Marietta Hodges. “He treats all the
girls alike.”
“Don’t you think he shows some prefer-
ence for Nellie Grayson?” asked another
girl. “Look 1 He is talking to. her now.”
“Her!” exclaimed a chorus of contemp-
tuous voices.
“What has she to recommend her to
him?”
“Why, she hasn’t,a thought above par-
ish charities and stocking darning.”
“that insignificant little prude 1
Humph!” ;j
“You may just put It down that Jack
Wilton is looking for a better match than
he would make by marrying the rector’s
daughter.”
“But her family”— began the girl who
had precipitated the storm.
“Oh, her family!” sneered the girl
whose coat of arms should have been a leg
of mutton and a cleaver, with a calf ram-
pant. “You don’t suppose that as sensible
a man as Jaok Wilton is going to let the
little matter of family connections out-
weigh the more important considerations
of life. If she’s scheming for him on that
score, I’m afraid there’s little chance for a
Grayson-Wilton combination,”
The laugh which the girls gave at this
sally toned down into a very proper smile
as they bowed to Nellie as she passed up
the room with .Tack.
The same course of events which made
the talking public hold its breath in sur-
prise gave the girl who had mentioned
Nellie Grayson’s name the opportunity of
saying, “I told you. so.”
After tho first surprise of the thing was
over the ambitious mammas said:
1 “Oh, of course, Nellie is a very nico girl
j—an excellent girl in fact—but”— And
caulescent papas added, “Oh, a very
icua.^i—ftii exemplary girl, but”—
L 1 'T3 ehuokled, and the maiden
» >ilted in -demur© silence. But-
[reurrent of thought in the minds
e tho bachelors was, “Heison-
______ sensible to be in earnest with
that girl.”
Meanwhile Jack was bestowing his al-
most undivided attention on Nellie, and
she seemed in nowise displeased.
The rector did not discourage their in-
timacy, but he did not profess to under-
stand it, good, easy going, unworldly old
man that he was. He could never think
of his daughter otherwise than aa the de-
mure maiden, who was ever at his side,
his constant confidante and helper.
Tho girl herself did not understand it,
and only knew that she felt a joy in the
presence of this man whioli was like no
other joy. But she knew his position, the
most eligible of all eligibles, and her pleas-
ure was tempered with humility.
Indeod Jack seemed to be tho only per-
son who was really straight and level
headed on the matter, and to Nelly he de-
fined his position very cloarly on a mem-
orable evening.
“You see, Nellie,” he said somewhat
diffidently for him, “I’ve been loving you
all along, blit I didn’t want to say a word
lintll I was iu a position to ask you with-
out presumption. Well, of course I don’t
mean exactly that, for it’s presumption
anyway, but I moan I’ve been trying to
make myself worthy of you. Don’t you
think, Nellie, that you could love me
enough to be my wife and make me a
happy man? I should try so hard to make
you happy in return.”
In the sudden rush of joy only one
thought came to Nellie’s mind, and she
let it out.
“Oh, Jack,” sho cried, “what would
everybody say?”
Iu order to save his politeness, Mr. Wil-
ton rose and went to the door, where ho
let forth two very emphatic little words.
The first one was ‘ ‘ Oh, ’ ’ the last is not to
be mentioned, but It had the effect of send-
ing the good rector, who was smoking
quietly in the gloom, hurrying around the
corner in righteous surprise.
Then Mr. Wilton camo back, because he
felt better, and said: “Well, if I should bo
fortuuate enough to win you, and every-
body doesn’t say tkat I am tho luckiest
fellow in the world, then everybody is a
fool. That’s all I’ve got to say.”
Tho rector’s consent was immediately
asked and as soon given. And making a
compromise with his conscience over the
little word he had accidently overheard he
told his daughter that Jack Wilton was at
least a sensible man.—Kansas City Times.

For Rheumatism, Blood Poisoning, Pain in the side, wrists, shoulders, back and joints,
Dyspepsia, Malaria, Scrofula, and all Blood and Skin Diseases, it has never been equalled. -
Fain is subjugated, Health Renewed, Appetite restored and sleeples3 nights banished by
its wonderful influence.
p. p. p. is a wonderful tonic and strengthened Weak women should alwaj'S take

The above letters are taken from many received by us. P. P. P., (Lippvian's
Great Remedy,) is a medicine whose virtues are known from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
P. P. P. begins, its work by purifying the blood, which is the source of all life,
and does not cease until a perfect and entire cure is effected.
The mortifying eruptions that disfigure the complexion, the tired feeling that pre-
vents thorough accomplishments of the daily tasks, sleepless nights, loss of appetite,
irritability of disposition, all mean a derangement of the system consequent from
impure blood, which can and will be cured by P. P. P.
P. P. P. {Lipptnan's Great Remedy), is conceded by physicians and the people
to be the Greatest Blood Purifier of the Age. It positively and permanently
cures. For sale by all druggists or direct from us ; price $1 a bottle, six bottles for

General McKenzie’s Pun.
A story about General Milos was told by
the general himself soon after his appoint-
ment to the office of brigadier general. It
soems that General Miles and General Mc-
Kenzie were old friends, but close rivals
for the coveted position, though the former,
by amiability of manner, newspaper repu-
tation and seniority of rank, led slightly.
One evening tho two generals were smok-
ing together out of doors, when General
McKenzie, looking upward at a particu-
larly bright star, said, "The.ro is‘Miles be-
tween mo and that star”—tho star being,
of Bourse, the Insignia of a brigadier.—
