MIGHT YET BE PERSUADED.
Sweet Girl Brought to Ask Time for
Reconsideration.
"Since you can be no more than a
sister to mo," said tho heartbroken
young man, "will you not gtvo mo one
kiss of farewell?"
She assented, albeit coldly.
And Mannering drew the girl to his
heart, he pressed his lips to hers with
a passionate fervor born of his de
spair. Afterward her head sank gently up
on his shoulder.
"Mr. Mannering," sho breathed,
"this is all so all so new to me so
Btrangely different from my expecta
tions perhaps, if you would give me
time time to reconsider "
But, dear reader, let us draw a veil
over the sacred scene. Exchange.

After Inflammatory Rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores Developed Only Cuti
cura Proved Successful.
"About four years ago I had a very
severe attack of inflammatory rheuma
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out in bunches. I also
had three large bed sores on my back.
I did not gain, very rapidly, and my
appetite was very poor. I tried many
'sure cures' but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re
solvent I had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon I felt
belter. The bed sores went very soon
after a few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when I used Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
it began to regain its former glossy ap
pearance. Mrs. Lavina J. Henderson,

HER DESTINATION IN DOUBT.
Little Girl's Remark Not Complimen
tary to Grandma.
Ethel is of the mature age of five.
Recently her grandmother concluded
that it devolved on her to instruct the
child in religious matters.
"You must be a good girl, Ethel,"
Bho said. "Then you will go to heaven
when you die."
Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with
this reward for exceptional conduct.
"Don't you want to go to heaven?"
asked grandma, with a look of re
proach. "Oh, I don't know," temporized
Ethel. "I guess not." ,
"Why not?" demanded 'grandma,
severely.
"Because maybe I couldn't get out,"
answered Ethel. "T
"You wouldn't want to get out," re
plied grandma.
"Oh, yes, I should," returned Ethel,
with conviction.
"No," argued grandma, "you would
not. Why should you want to get out
of heaven?"
"Why." answered Ethel, "I guess I'd
want, to go and see you once in a
while, wouldn't I?" Woman's Home

Twelve Years' Sentence Commutsd by
Governor.
P. Coursey Richards of Lincoln,
N'eb., serving a 12 years' sentence in
the penitentiary for a criminal assault
upon his young stepdaughter, went
forth a freo man Monday. Gov.
Sheldon commuted the sentence as
a result of an application by tho
prisoner and after a public hearing.
Mr. Richards has been on parole at
the Soldiers' home at Milford, the
parole having been issued by Gov.
Mickey before his term of office ex
pired. Mr. Richards will go to Penn
sylvania where relatives live, and
enter the employ of "a railroad com
pany. He was convicted largely on
the evidence of his wife, and her
daughter, the latter being his step
daughter anil the nlleced victim. Tho
daughter wrote Gov. Sheldon that the
father had been wrongfully convicted
and a physician who was somewhat
ntcrestcd in the trial wrote the gov
ernor that in his judgment the crime
charged had probably never been
committed. This testimony, indicates
that an-innoccnt man has served time
n the penitentiary, and caused the
governor to commute the sentence.
Four years were taken from the orig-
mil sentence of 12 years. Counting
the time spent at the Soldiers' home
on narole. Richards served six years
in prison. He was a soldier in the
civil war and many veterans inter
ested themselves in his application
for a pardon.
"My friends call me 'The Postum
Preacher,'" writes a Minn, school teach
er, "because I preach the gospel of
Postum everywhere I go, and have
been tho means of liberating many
coffee-pot slaves.'
"I don't care what they call me so
long as I can help others to see what
they lose by sticking to coffee, and
can show them tho way to steady
nerves, clear brain and general good
health by using Postum.
"While a school girl I drank coffee
and had fits of trembling and went
through a siege of nervous prostration,
which took mo three years to rally
from.
"Mother coaxed me to use Postum,
but I thought coffee would give me
strength. So things went, and when
I married I found my husband and I
were both coiree topers, and I can
sympathize with a drunkard who tries
to leave off his cups.
"At last in sheer desperation
bought a package of Postum, followed
directions about boiling it, served it
with good cream, and asked my hus
band how he liked the coffee.
"We each drank three cups apiece
and what a satisfied feeling it left. Our
conversion has lasted several years
and will continue as long as we live
for it has made us new nerves are
steady, appetites good, sleep sound
and refreshing."

CLAIM SCARCITY OF CATTLE.
Explanation Offered for High Price
of Beef.
To increase the supply of beef and
therefore lessen its cost to the Amer
lean household is one of the principal
objects underlying the efforts of the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington to secure clover, alfalfa or
other grass that will thrive in the
semi-arid regions of the Northwest.
Beef and beef products are said to
have reached the highest, prices re
corded in 20 years and the dealers
claim that this is due. to scarcity of
cattle.
It is to increase the supply of beef
by increasing the grass belt in tin
West that the department of agricul
tu re has again sent N. P. Hansen of
Brookings, S. D., to make a thorough
investigation of the plant, life of
northern Russia and Siberia. Profes
sor Hansen will visit the sections of
northern Europe and Asia where cli
matic conditions are similar to those
of the semi-arid lands of Wyomin
Colorado, Montana and the Dakotas
If an alfalfa or clover can he found
which will withstand these climatic
conditions a hundred head of cattle
could be fed on the land now require,
by ten.
Famous Blind Tom is Dead.
"Blind Tom," famous negro must
clan, marvel of tJiree generations of
playgoers, died Saturday in Hoboken
N. J., where he had been living for
years in retirement and subsisting on
charity. Thomas Wiggins is the name
given in his burial certificate, but tho
surname was one which the famous
pianist adopted. He was born a slave
near Columbus, On., about 1 SfiO. Tn
early childhood, Tom, who was horn
entirely blind and more than hair
idiotic, showed himself remarkably
imitative, frequently stealing into the
house of his master to reproduce on
the pianoforte inusic he had heard
piayed by others. In 1SC1 lie be
came so proficient on the instrument
that lie was taken to New York and
exhibited as a phenomenon and later
was widely heard in the United
States and Europe.

Dread Disease Robbed of Its Terrors
by Simple Remedy.
Owing to tho prevalence of pneu
monia and tho great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
and spring, several boards of health
In northern New Jersey hnvo been tak
ing mensures to protect the citizens of
their towns from the disease. Tho
health board of Washington, N. J., has
published a remedy which is said to
bo a sure cure for pneumonia, and
othor health boards arc looking into
tho matter with a view of having the
same thing published for the good of
tho general public. This is tho pub
lication as it has appeared in the pa
pers of Washington:
"Take six or ten onions, according
to size, nnd chop line, put In a large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vine
gar enough to form a thick paste. In
tho meanwhile stir it thoroughly, lot
ting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by reheating tho poultices,
and in n few hours tho patient will be
out of dnnger. This simple remedy
has never failed to euro this too-ofton
fatal malady. Usually threo or four
applications will be sufficient, but con
tinue always until the perspiration
starts freely from tho chest. This rem
edy was formulated mnny years ago
by one of the best physicians Now
England has ever known, who never
lost a patient by the disense, and won
his renown by simple remedies."
