    HIS ONLY ROMANCE.
T was two years
since Joe Bentley
had left his home
in a quiet little
Ohio town to seek
his fortnne in the
West, l'ct two years
each working day
. bsd found him at
hla desk in a large
5g?, mercantile nouse
ia Chicago. He had
been fortunate in securing a position
at once, through a brother of his town
postmaster, who was now chief clerk
in the office. Joe will never forget
those two years—lonesome two years
they were," the more lonesome, perhaps,
because he had never been away from
home and among strangers before.
When he first came to Chicago the
World’s Fair and other attractions
made the city a wonderful jllace for the
country boy, -but these soon paled or
passed away, and the loneliness settled
upon him U3 he felt himself a stranger
In a strange land.
For a time i he attended church, as
had been his habit at home, but they
were such large places, and the con
gregation and young folks dressed and
acted so differently from the church
folk at home that he finally got in the
habit of staying away. He sorely missed
l»is town acquaintances, the compan
ionship of his sisters and brothers and
the bright smile of Cousin Fan, who
used to pop in so unexpectedly and
leave such a volume of sunshine behind
her when her father would come to
town ta do his marketing. The girls
with whom some of his fellow-clerks
associated, and with whom they tried
to make him at home, somehow failed
to fill the bill. Somehow it didn’t seem
right for the fellows to greet them on
the street with a familiar slap on the
shoulder and a “Hello, Kit, old girl,
how you is?” and in spite of himself
he felt too much of' an aversion to
them to enjoy himself or make himself
entertaining and dropped them.
At last a change .came—gradually, to
be sure, so slowly that Joe hardly knew
there had been a change till it was
there. For several days the seat at
the opposite end of the table in the
restaurant Joe ate lunch had been oc
cupied by a modest-appearing little
woman, whose long lashes fringed the
darkest of blue eyes and whose slight
ly pouting lip? antt rounded cheeks
glowed with the natural health which
can never be duplicated by art, and
which only country air can give. The
next day she was in the same seat, and
the next and the next, and Joe soon
came to look forward, unthinkingly, to
seeing the bright face of the unknown.
One day the chair was , vacant, and
Joe, with a sense of deep disappoint
ment, knew why it was he looked for
ward so eagerly to the noonday meal.
The next noontime he took particular
pains with his toilet ^nd was so im
patient that he was at the table five
minutes before his accustomed time.
She was not there and his heart sank.
A irinute later it bounded again as he
saw the well-known figure coming down
the aisle. As she pulled back her chair
preparatory to taking her seat, some
how or other, Joe never quite knew
jf) Oia
“I'M ASHAMED OP YOU.”
how It happened, the big blue eyes
flashed for a moment into his and he
was.on his feet blushing and bowing.
This was the begianing, and it be
came customary to bow, later to sit side
by side and talk during lunch, and, if
time permitted, to walk with her as
far as the Monadnock Building, where
she was employed. He had vainly tried
to discover her name, but when ho had
•naively informed her that it was awk
ward'to call her "Say,” she had asked
him ito call her simply Miss Margaret,
adding that this was what she was most
generally called and Was most accus
tomed to.
This went on for several weeks and
Joe had several times been on the verge
of asking for her address that he might
call, or asking her to accompany him
to the theater, but he kept delaying,
fearing that he might rupture the grow
ing friendship and be left again to
himself .and the lonesomeiies3 of feel
ing that he knew almost no one.
One noontime (and Joe will always
remember it) she was not in her ac
clistened place, although the day be
fore she had been speculating what the
bill of fare would be. He ate as slowly
as he could and spent his whole noon
hour In the restaurant, but when he
left, the chair was still vacant. The
next day the same experience. He re
proached himself for not finding out
more about her—perhaps she was sick
or had met with an accident. At any
rate, she knew his name and address
why didn’t she at least drop him a
line? Surely it was eruel to leave him
in such uncertainty. He brooded over
what might possibly have happened to
her, till bis health began to fail. He
had never thought the daily walk of a
few blocks could mean so much to him.
Several weeks passed by and the
chair still continued vacant. On the
Wry day his two yean was up Joo re
membered that she had woken of
Oconomowoc one day in connectlos
with her family. He would, ask for
a few days’ respite from work and go
up there. He had never asked for v
vacation and they surely would not re
fuse him. Besides, it was not far from
Chicago and many Chicago men went
up Saturday nights to spend Sunday
with their families who were stopping
there. Ariyhow, he would go for the
rest of the week—possibly he might
i see her or learn of her and the change
would do him good even if he didn’t.
The next morning, Wednesday, he
started. He could only be spared for
for the rest of the week, but what
might not happen in four whole days?
When he arrived at the depot of the
pretty little Wisconsin town he found
himself anxiously looking around,
though he condemned himself for his
foolishness in doing so—why should
she be around the depot if she was in
the town?
After he had registered at a hotel he
wandered aimlessly about the town,
admiring the handsome houses and the
beautiful twin lakes, and watching the
launches, filled with happy campers,
darting to and fro. In the afternoon
he hired a boat and tried to fish, but
after a couple of hours' effort, when
only a coupie of sickly looking dog
fish rewarded his efforts, he gave it
up in disgust and returned to the ho
tel.
At dinner that evening he was made
unritic Ul tilt? iilUL mat U C11CUS was 1U
town by a couple sitting across the
table from him, who had come in from
the surrounding country and were go
ing. In the barber-shop also there was
nothing talked of but the circus. It
made him feel quite at home to see the
enthusiasm created by the mere fact
of a circus being in town. How differ
ent from Chicago,' where nothing
seemed to be able to command but
passing interest.
Then he remembered that at home
everybody went to the circus—why
shouldn’t they do it here?—and per
haps she might be there. He would
go to the circus.
It was a little late when Joe reached
the tent. He had not calculated on
how many would be ahead of him for
the single barber’s chair nor how long
it would take the hotel bootblack to
put a satisfactory gloss on his shoes.
As he entered the tent he went down
the open space to the ropes and start
ing at one end glanced as critically at
each face as the flickering of the gas
oline lamps would allow. Of a sudden
be stopped, rubbed his eyes and looked
again. Yes, surely that was Margaret,1
looking fairer and more winsome than
ever, appearing quite out of place
among the rustics who surrounded her
—and, wonder of wanders, there was
an empty seat beside her. In a matter
of ten minutes Joe had forced his way
to where she sat and found himself at
her side. She appeared glad to see
him and Joe felt supremely happy as
explanations on both sides were being
made—though he thought it strange
that she assigned no reason for her
sudden departure from Chicago.
All things must have an end and the
entertainment came to a close. Joe’s
request to "sea her home” had been
accepted and he seemed to be treading
on air as he left the tenbwith the lit
tle hand resting lightly on his arm.
As they were nearing a crossing and
Joe was opening up a subject of car
rying on a correspondence a woman’s
form came under the light across the
way. Margaret half turned around
to go back with a “Gracious, there's
ma!” Joe looked more closely and
saw a middle-aged woman with a de
termined-looking face hurrying toward
them. She took Margaret sharply by
the arm and drew her to one side as
she said:
I “I’ve been hunting for you every
where—what made you change your
seat? We won’t trouble this young
man lor his company any further”—
with a scathing, look at Joe—“I’m
ashamed of you, out with a young man
ar.d your wedding only three days off.
I’ll be glad when Frank has you to
look after Instead of me.”
And as Margaret was being hurried
away from across the street Joe caught
the gleam of a ring on the little hand
that was surrentltiously waved to him.
Traill Crushed to Kartli.
From the Atlanta Constitution: A
worthy colored deacon, who had early
impressed upon his only son and heir
the moral of the George Washington
cherry tree story, was lortunate
enough to find a fat ’possum recently.
He bore It in triumph t© his dwelling,
and, assisted by his son, cooked It to a
juicy brown. t
“Now,” said he, “de lies’ way ter eat:
a ’possum is col’; so* we'U Jes’ let him
stay In de pantry, en when mawnin’ ■
comes he’ll be mo’ jucier den ever!”
His son seemed sadly disappointed, j
but he made the best of It, and both
retired for the night.
The old man was np early n»-rt
morning, but the boy slept on.
On opening the safe the astonished ;
parent discovered nothing but bones
in the dish that had contained the
’possum. He brought the drowsy
youngster to his feet with one vigor
ous jerk, and dragging him to the
scene of the wreck, he said:
“What does dat mean, eh?”
The boy fell on his knees and cried:
“Daddy, I can’t tell a lie; I got up in
de night en eat it wid my little mouf!”
The old man said not a word, but
dragging the boy to the front door he
held him by the collar while ha
jerked a piece of weatherboarding
from the side of the house.
“Dsddy,” cried the boy, “is yer
gwine to lick me fer tellin’ de truth?”
“No! You kinky-headed debbil, !
you!” thundered the old man, “I j
gwine ter frail de hide off ye for eat
in’ de ’possum!”

RACE OP "LITTLE NIGGERS,"
Savags Dwarfs Who Live Near the Bsj
of Bengal
In an archipelago in the Bay of Ben
pal there exists a race of savagt
ilvvarfs.' Sailors call them "little nig
gers," because the average height ol'
them is four feet ten Inches, the wo
men reaching a stature of four feet
seven Inches. The oddest thing a born
these little people, says the San Fran
cteco Chronicle, is that they look like
babies all their Uve3. It is only lately
that these dwarfs of the Andaman
islands have known how to build fires.
There Is a volcano on one of these
Islands, and from this they have pro
cured fresh supplies of fire when neces
sary, but they know how to keep slow,
slumbering embers sufficiently alive
not to compel them often to visit the
volcano. The thing which has excited
their curiosity most of anything intro
duced by the whites 1b the friction
match. Formerly the dwarfs ,of the
Andamans were accustomed to mur
der all strangers who reached their
shores. Even now sailors wrecked In
the Bay of Bengal would probably be
massacred. It is believed the Inveter
ate hostility of the “little niggers”
arose originally from the cruel prac
tices of the Malays, Burmese and Chi
nese, who visited the Andamans to get
edible birds’ nests and sea cucumbers,
and who used to capture the little na
tives and sell them for slaves. There
are several shades of color among them,
ranging from bronze to shiny black.
Their hair is extremely frizzled, grow
ing in spiral tufts. It is fine, and sel
dom becomes more than two or three
inches long. Most of the women shave
their heads once a week, leaving only
two narrow strips of hair from the
crown to the nape of the neck. Many
of the men do the same, although the
style is different. They leave a patch
like a skull cap on the crown of their
heads. The most remarkable custom of
these little people is the wearing of
necklaces of human bones. When a
child dies it is burled, only to be dug up
again. The father carries the body to
the nearest creek and removes the flesh
from the bones with the greatest care,
carrying them and the skull back to
his hut. The mother, after painting
the latter with a yellow pigment, hangs
It around her neck. Infants’ skulls, be
ing fragile, are protected by a covering
of string. For a few days a mother
will spend all her time stringing the
hits of bone into necklaces, to be dis
tributed among her friends as memen
toes. These are supposed to ward oil
disease. Teeth are also strung as neck
laces, every native of the Andaman
stands wearing a chain of some sort ol
mman bonea.
' DRIED UP ON AN ISLAND.
four Sailors Turned Into Mummies bj
Solar Heat.
“The warmest weather that I evei
experienced,” writes a navigator who
has been all over the world, “was on' a
small island called John’s Biscuit, off
Cape Gracias, on the coast of Hondu
ras. The Elizabeth Jennings, on which
I sailed in 1870 from Portland, stopped
there for water, and a boat’s crew went
ashore for It. It was a little volcanic
island and awful dry and hot. We
didn’t know whether there would be
any water there or not. but we did find
a spring with a stream as large as
a broomhandle pouring out all the
time. And, do you believe me, the
water was dried up and soaked up be
fore it had run four feet in the Band.
The place was covered with dried trees,
and a little distance away was what
looked like a hut—a habitation for
man. We went in and found the
shrunken remains of four men, sailors
probably, who had died in one night, to
judge from appearances. One was
leaning against the wall in a sitting
position. There was dry food on the
table, dry meat In a box and everything
was burning dry.
“A letter In the pocket of one man
was dated Liverpool, 1816, and on the
table was a bottle with a note in It,
evidently intended to be cast adrift!
It said they were four English seamen
marooned by the captain, left to die:
The note was dated 1816, and I suppose
they had been there dead in that hut
for over thirty years, and they must
have died of heat one day and dried
right up. We left them where we
found them.”
Co»t More Then He'i Worth.
A dog who has eaten up a farm and
a set of buildings has been found in
eastern Maine. This dog killed a
neighbor’s sheep. The neighbor of
fered to call it square if the dog was
killed. The dog’s master refused tc
agree to this, and a lawsuit came next.
To pay the costs and damages assessed
by the court the owner of the dog had
to mortgage his farm for $100. The
mortgage had a bigger appetite than
the dog, and soon his farm was gone
and the owner had to move away. The
log is now dead.
D» Kot Want Sunday Work.
By order of the city council of To

among the street railway employes tc
ascertain their sentiment on the ques
tion of running the street cars on
Sunday. Two hundred and fifty men
voted. Of these 220 were against Sun
day work.
The Telephone Kar.
It has been ascertained by experi
ment that a number of persons who
use the telephone hear better with the

common practice of the telephone com

it will be applied to the left ear.

WHAT A LIE.
A Editor 8ajn That Tt Take* Hoar;
to Itnn a Nrivnpaper.
Prom the Covlustcn (Ohio) gazette:
“It takes money to run a newspapor."
—St. John (Kna.) Nows,
What an aggregation; what a whop
per. It has been disproved a thou
sand limes; it Is a clean cito ct airy
fancy. It doesn’t take money to run
a newspaper; it can run without mon- •
ey. It Is a charitable institution, n
begging concern, n highway robber.
B’Qodfrey the newspaper is the child
af the air, a creature of a dream. It
:an go on and on and on, when any
other concern would be in the hands
af a receiver and wound up with cob
webs in the window. It takes wind to
run a newspaper; it takes gall to run
a newspaper. It takes a scintillating,
acrobatic imagination, and a half dos-.
en white shirts, and a railroad pass to
run a newspaper. But money—Heav
ens to Betsy and six hands round, who
ever needed money In conducting a
newspaper! Kind words are the med
ium of exchange that do the business
for the editor—kind words and church
social tickets. When you see aii ed
itor with money, watch him. He’ll
be paying bills and disgracing his pro
fession. Never give money to an edi
tor. Make him trade it out. He likes
to swap. Then when you die, after
having stood around for years and
sneered at the editor and his little jim
crow paper, be sure and have your wife
send in for three extra copies by one
of your weeping children, and when
she read3 the generous and touching
notice about you, forewarn her to ne
glect to send fifteen cents to the editor.
It would overwhelm him. Money 1b a
corrupting thing. The editor knows it
and what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the print
ers and they can thank their grocers.
Take your Job work to the job office
and then come and ask for half rates
for church notices. Get your lodge
letter heads and stationery printed
out of town, and then flood the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolutions
of respect and cards of thanks. They
make such spicy reading, and when
you pick it up filled with those glow
ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
are so proud of your little paper! But
money—scorn the filthy thing. Don’t
let the pure. Innocent editor know
anything about it. Keep that for
sordid tradespeople who charge for
thoir wares. The editor gives his bounty
away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He’ll take care of all the editors. Don't
worry about the editor. He has a
charter from the state to act as a door
mat for the community. He'll get
the paper out somehow; and stand up
for yon when you run for office, and lie
about your pigeon-toed daughter’s
tackey wedding, and blow about your
big-footed sons when they get a $4 per
week Job. and weep over your shriveled
soul when it is released from your
grasping body, and smile at your giddy
wife’s second marriage. He’ll get along.
The Lord alone knows how—but the
editor will get there somehow.

cut groove in the under side of the
pole, in which work a set of metal
eyes, which, hang out of the opening
of the groove, and roll in it on small
rollers working in the undercut por*
tion of the groove.. It is ingenious
and simple, and certainly seems like
ly to work more smoothly than, the
ordinary curtain ring.
To Oct Oat of the Way
When trouble U coming. Is obviously the
part of common souse. An o utriiotnm of
ihe bowels Is a serious obstruction to health.
To get this out of tho way is an easy mat-'
ter with the thorough laxative, Hostcltcr'a
Stomach i Ittuts, which, although it affords
relief, never gripes and convulses like a
drastic purgative. Dyspepsia, malarial,
kidney and rheumatic ailments ami nerv
ousness yield to this gonial family medicine.
Better Times Coming.
Farmer Brown, after fourteen hours

lator made.
Nearly every man believes that fate baa
a grudge against him.
ITS CURES
THAT COUNT.
Many so-called remedips ore
pressed on the public attention
on account of their claimed
large sales. But sales cannot
determine values. Soles simply
argue good salesmen, shrewd
puffery, or euormoWS' advertis
ing. It’s cures that count It
is cures that are counted on by
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. ‘ Its sales
might be boasted. It has the
world for its market.’ But
sales prove nothing. We point
only to the record of Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, as proof of its
merit:
