Lavender Leaves.
The waving corn was green ami gold.
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up a drowsy drone,
When Mistress Standlsh, folding down
Her linen, white as snow.
Between it laid the lavender,
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes of grayish green,
Still moist with morning dew.
Recalled a garden sweet with box
Beyond the ocean’s blue;
An English garden, quaint and old,
She nevermore might know;
And so she dropped a homesick tear
That summer long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall,
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across it to and fro.
The ghost of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.

The Saving of Dollie.
BY HOWARD DEVINE.
(Copyright, 1902, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
“Dollie!” cried Madam, sharply.
“Did you hear? Miss Hayes is wait
ing to have her wedding dress fitted.
Didn’t I tell you to watch for her and
attend to it. Are you asleep?”
“Yes, mam—no, mam; I mean. I
will attend to it. I—I did not hear,
Madam, I—I beg pardon,” and the girl
sprang to her feet, flushed and trem
bling, gathered into her arms the
priceless gown of the heiress and
vanished through the door leading
into the dressing rooms.
There was a snicker from the other
girls and an angry snort from Madam.
"I don’t know what’s coming over
Miss Culver,” she exclaimed. “She
seems to be in a trance.”
In the meantime the pretty blue
eyed girl with the pink cheeks that
were the envy of all the great dress
making shop of Madam Gervais, had
disappeared through the door of the
work-room and emerged into a dainty
dressing-room, where awaited a
haughty damsel with flashing orbs of
the deepest brown and the regal figure
of a born queen. This was Florence
Hayes, easily the belle cf all the city
and the greatest heiress as well—a
superb young woman, with all the hau
teur of the born aristocrat added to
features and form and carriage of a
beauty of nature. She had reigned
long and with a high hand, but at
last had succumbed to the ardent
court of Howard Dunton and the wed
ding day had been set and prepara
tions wore in progress for the cere
mony which was to be by far the
most pretentious affair the town had
ever seen.
uunron was young, arueui, auu ui
acknowledged ability, already a power
at the bar and in politics; not of
known family nor fortune but dis
tinctly one of the coming men of the
place and recognized as one of the
most desirable catches. It was, in
sooth, a model match, and society
reveled in it.
The work of fitting the wedding
garment was soon in full operation.
There was all the pulling and haul
ing, ripping and pinning and smooth
ing and tucking so necessary to a
successful gown and finally all was
as it should be and the two women—
the heiress with her cold and classi
cal face traced with lines of pride
and hauteur, and the round-faced little
dressmaker with her voluptuous fig
ure and her simple, trusting counte
nance—faced each other, the task fin
ished.
And then a strange thing occurred.
Without the sign of a warning the
little dressmaker stepped forward, the
lost color blazing in her cheek and
grasping both hands in the filmy laces
in the front of the priceless gown tore
out two great hands full.
"Your wedding gown,” she screamed
hysterically. “Your wedding gown.
You shall not wear it. Do you hear,
you shall not wear it. You have no
right—in the sight of God, you have
no right. The law and the priest may
give you the legal right, but in the
sight of God he belongs to me and
I to him. Of course he cannot marry
me—I am not of his world—all I can
do is to love him and be loved—some
doll born with a gold spoon in her
mouth must bear his name,” and then
The little dressmaker tore out two
great handfuls.
the girl laughed a long and ghastly
laugh. Then clenching her hands:
“Yes, you can bear his name, but
you can never have his heart and al
ways you must know that you are
second—that I was first—yes, and am
first now and will be. He is mine
and I am his. All you can do is to
ride in his carriages and live in hio
house and bear his name. Much joy
to you,” and the girl laughed and
cried hysterically as she stamped her
pretty feet on the carpet.
The face of the other woman was a
drama during this tirade. With the
GRAND OPENING!

self-possession of the born aristocrat
she maintained her entire dignity and
self-possession; but it was evident
from the first how strongly she was
moved and how deeply she was
shocked. When the dressmaker
paused for breath she stepped for
ward and laid her hand imperiously
upon Dollie’s shoulder.
“Is this true?” she demanded in a
voice so intense as to awe the girl.
“I must know the truth. Do not trifle
with me. If you tell the truth I will
be the best friend you ever had. If
you are merely after money you can
have all you want only if you tell
me the truth. But do not attempt to
trifle with me. I will not stand it
and I warn you for your own good.”
She paused, and the other woman
met her eyes without flinching.
“I tell you the truth,” she said
simply. “I want no money. Ail I
want is him—Howard. I am not here
testifying to my shame for money.
I do not need money—why, he gives
me enough money to keep me from
that. But it is not his money that
I want—it is him. I love him—yes,
I do—I love him a thousand times
better than you or any other woman
knows how—and you are going to
steal him from me.” She sank on
her knees aid buried her face in
a sofa—then rose suddenly and fierce
/' *
And she grasped her arm so nerceiy
that Dollie winced. “Prove to me
what you say and I will do for you
what you never can do for yourself.
1 will be the best friend you ever
had.’’
A few moments later the two
women left the place together and
rode away in the magnificent equip
age of Miss Hayes.
* • •
Never had there been such a gor
geous wedding scene in the social
annals of the city. The church was
crowded with the fashion, beauty and
chivalry of the most exclusive circles.
The floral decorations were something
marvellous; the costumes beyond
even the female society reporter. At
the appointed hour the groom stepped
from the room assigned to him, ac
companied by his best man, and
moved toward the altar, just as the
bride, arrayed only as wealth can
array its favorites, moved up the aisle
preceded by a pretty flower girl and
followed by a splendid array of brides
maids, all veiled. They met at the
altar and the ceremony began. The
great audience craned its collective
neck to hear the responses.
“Do you, Florence, take this man
to be your wedded husband,, to cleave
unto him, forsaking all others, to
love, honor and obey him until death
you do part?” read the clergyman
solemnly in his most sonorous voice.
He paused and comfortably awaited
the response.
Then came the crash from the clear
sky. ' -
“No, 1 do not,” replied the woman
at tie altar in a clear, tense tone,
throwing aside her veil and disclosing
a face of ashen color strangely set.
“God help me, I cannot. I-”
“My God, Florence, what does this
mean!” exclaimed the groom aghast.
"Silence,” commanded the woman,
turning upon him with flashing eye,
"I will not because I cannot in the
sight of God and man, I will not
and cannot because this man belongs
to another—to a girl whom he has
deceived and intended to betray. But,
good friends, you will not be cheated
of the wedding you came to see. The
bride—the real bride—is here, and
the ceremony will go on,” and with
an imperious gesture she motioned
forward Dollie Culver from her brides
maids, lifted the veil from her fright
ened face and, turning to the clergy
man, said:
"Proceed, sir, the bride and the
bridegroom are ready.”
The reverend father caught the
poetic justice of the occasion and
sternly began the service over again.
The startled groom, unable to gather
together l.is scattered senses, mum
bled along the responses and in a
trice the closing words, were spoken
and the Four Hundred were making
their way to the door amid a rattle
of tongues that would have put thd
tower of Babel to sleep In a cradle.
A Certain Cure for Dysentery and
Diarrhoea.
“Some years ago I was one of a
party that intended making a long
bicycle trip,” says F. L. Taylor, of
New Albany, Bradford county, Pa.,
“I was taken suddenly with diarrhoea
and was about to give up the trip,
when Editor Ward, of the Laceyville
Messenger, suggested that I take a
dose of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a
bottle and took two doses, one. before
starting and one on the route. I
made the trip successfully and never
felt any ill effect. Again last sum
mer I was almost completely run down
with an attack of dysentery. I bought
■ a bottle of this same remedy and this
same remedy and this time one dose
cured me.” Sold by P. C. Corrigan.
A Light Sentence.
A gentleman now living in this city
tells the following story of a negro in
! Tennessee whose son had been con
victed of killing a fellow-workman. A
few days after the triarthe father was
asked what disposition had been made
of the case.
“Oh,” he answered, "dey done send
Johnson to jail for a monf.”
"That’s a light sentence for killing
a man, don’t you think?”
“Yes,” answered the darky, “but at
de end of de monf dey done goin’ to
hang ’im.”
Josh Westhafer, of Loogootce, Ind.,
is a poor man, but he says he would
not be without Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm if it cost live dollars a bottle,
for it saved him from being a cripple.
No external application is equal to
this linament for stiff and swollen
joints, contracted muscles, stiff neck,
sprains and rheumatic and muscular
pains. It has also cured numerous
cases of partial paralysis. It is for
sale by P. C. Corrigan.
Pointer for May Yohe.
I Capt. Bradley Putnam Strong, now
1 happily reunited to his affinity, says
that he is going to choose a place "f
residence where reporters are un
known. If his affinity has learned any
thing by experience she will see to it
that it is a place that is likewise
destitute of pawnshops.
“I am using a box of Chamberlain’s
Stomach & Liver Tablets and find
them the best thing for my stomach
^1 ever used,” says T. W. Robinson,
'justice of the Peace, Ioomis, Mich.
! These Tablets not only correct dis
orders of the stomach but regulate
! the liver and bowels. They are easy
to take and pleasant in effect. Price
25 cents per box. For sale by P. C.
j Corrigan.
“My God, Florence, what does this
mean!” exclaimed the groom aghast.
ly and went on: “No, you are not.
You cannot. I will wait and watch—
yes, and pray, and I will keep him,
I know I will. You will have all the
honor and the name and pride, but
I will have him—see it I don’t—him
and his love. You will have the
husks and I the kernel.”
"Wait, girl,” cried the other fierce
ly, forgetting her position, her dignity
—everything but the words of the
woman before her. “Listen to me.”
FT CORE
I-ike the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
he veins has to come from
jmewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
•'Ome say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat. '
Scott’s Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
j "ale school girls and

bloocl tood. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
