lam. Tho third Lenten week come to tho rcscuo
of despairing society reporters and saved
tho social column from going Into actual
bankruptcy. Tho chief event was tho bril
liant ball In Jewish circles given for sweet
charity's sako and attended by representa
tives of tho most select circles. Tho cos
tumes worn on this occasion attracted
much attention for their elegance. An
other cnjoyablo oveut wa3 tho annual ban
quct given by the members of Unity church.
A Htug chafing dish club has also sprung
Into existence, and that tho Initial meeting
wan ono of unqualified success Is tho eighth
wonder to tho femlnlno mind.
"All is fair In lovo and war" decided tho
hero of this llttlo tulo as ho eagerly rang
tho bell of Arabella'!) home. Ha had made
a firm determination to "do up" and that
right speedily, that lean, lank whitewashed
blondo who was receiving too warm a wot
como from Arabella.
Tbo Sabbath sun shono with a warmth
qulto IrreHlstlblo and tho adorable Ara
bella clappod her littlo hands for very Joy
ns she Jumped Into tho nhlnlng rubbcr-tlr.ed
buggy and tho beautiful black horso pranced
Off. f
Our hero was in a stato of bliss, but lm
nglno tho unalloyed happiness of actually
passing his hated rival und seeing tho look
of disappointment thut cast a deep Bhadow
over hlB countenance. This was Joy heaped
up and running over.
All unconscious ho happened to drive by
n, clairvoyant and tho uubject turned on I
fortuno telling. Arabella had never had her
futuro unveiled, but with a woman's cu
rloalty Bho would give "a pretty" to got
Just a, peep.
Our horo became wildly enthusiastic over
thin particular magician of tho spirit world,
who could summon special littlo spirits
to toll tho past and present; who could
summon other littlo spirits to glvo pointers
on tho future and who had a special caso
full of select ones who didn't do a thing
but toll who your next husband or wife
would be.
Arabella decided In tho most secret recess
of her heart to know tho futuro tomorrow.
What a long tlmu before she would actually
lenow whom sha was to marry and perhaps
that particular brand of spirits that dclva
In matrimony might bo busy tomorrow.
Hut already our magnanimous hero was
nsklng her 'if sho wouldn't enjoy tho fun
of going, uud already tho horso was stop
ping at tho door.
Our hero manfully decided not to nccom
finny Arabella, for fear of prejudicing 'the
"spirits."
"I was afraid you 'wouldn't come," began
tho great mogul, and then, as Arabella's
great Innocent cyn opened wider, th
"spirit" of her departed forty-second cousin
fiavo a nervous laugh und explained: "I
knowod you wuz a-comln"; any spirit could
tell that."
Now our young hero hnd unfolded this
great and glorious schemo a day or two bo
foro to a friend, who, thinking it a great
nnd glorious Joke, told tho rival blonde.
Accordingly tho fortuno teller had boon
handsomely tipped by both parties, tho
blondo In tho lead.
(Ono-half hour later): "And what did
ho tell you?"'cagerly asked tho young pian
os hq tenderly lifted Arabella Into tho
buggy.
"To marry tho blonde," sho innocently
answered.

that they tire not n secret patent medicine,
jio secret is mudo of tholr Ingredients, but
analysis shows them to contain tho natural
digestive ferments, pure nseptlc pepsin, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy

Fire cuught In tho roof of tho houso oc
cupied by Prof. G. R. Fox and family last
Sunday. It had gained so much headway
when first discovered that oven tho com
bined help of tho uolghbors could do noth
ing to check It. Nearly nil tho furnlturo and
other belongings of value wero saved tilmost
without Injury and the entire loss was esti
mated to bo but $20. No other houso In tho
village being vacant, many of Prof. Fox'i
frlonds opened tholr bouses to him, but he
refused and took up a temporary abode in
tho town hall. Tho fact that several houses
novo been burned lu Benson which could
otherwlao hnvo been saved suggests tho Im
mcdlato need of n llro company, nnd tho
matter Is to be considered.
