On Tlfe and Tbrse Husbands.
Lizzie Anderson, or Erie. Pa., aeed
37. -was married three times, and yet
was not legally separated from any
of her husbands. Death brought them
together, and they shook hands silent
ly over Her coinn. She met and mar
ried Jesse Samson when but a young
girl, but eloped with Moses Arm
strong. Soon afterward she left hfo
and was wedded to Noah Anderson.
The husbands were sworn enemies and
never spoke. No legal proceeding!
were taken and the matter never got
into the courts. Then she got sick
and was thought to be dying. She ral
lied, but again had a relapse. She died
last week. Then it was that the three
men met at her coffin. Samson stretch
ed out his hand slowly, and they all
forgave.
A Cartoon Saved Hit Life.
Several weeks ago an abeess devel
oped ia the stomach of William
Thorpe, a resident cf Quantico, Md
The growth so weakened him that
physicians feared to use the knife and
patient was slowly dying. A few days
ago he saw a Philadelphia paper in
which there was a cartoon making fun
or Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania.
inorpe laughed and immediately a
stream cf blood gushed from his
mouth. The doctor happened to call
just then, and after examining Thorpe,
declared that the abeess had broken
tnd that the patient would now get
well.
A DOCTOR THIS TIME.
Tortland. May Cth. Dr. E. A. Rose,
a practising physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kans., was on what
everyone supposed was his death
bed. He had Diabetes, and six of
his brother doctors were In attend
ance and consultation at his bedside
They had done everything that medi
cal skill could suggest to save his life,
but they were at last reluctantly forced
to tell him that he must prepare for
Ieath.
His aunt had been summoned to hl3
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her jephew up. she insisted that
as a last resort, he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned In his favor. His life was
saved, and he is hale and hearty to
day. This case and its cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation of
the hour. It is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured this great discovery in medi
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
liladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease. Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily, j
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has its origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.
MILLIONS OF RUBBER BANDS,
Immense Industry it Furnishing ZJttle
Ela.lle for Commercial Trade.
"The little elastic rubber band that
is nowadays used in various businesses
in place of twine seems a simple sort
of thing, but there are few, if any, of
ftie multitude of small articles made
out of rubber for which there is such
an enormous demand, especially in the
United States," remarked a wholesale
dealer ia rubber bands in New York
the other day. "In this country the
number of rubber bands sold in one
year amounts to about ' 400.000 gross
or 57,000,000 single bands. At least 60
per cent of the goods are made in New
York and the rest are produced In fac
tories located in New Jersey and New
England. In New York there are a half
dozen factories devoted partly or ex
clusively to the manufacture of rub
ber bands. The process by which the
bands are made is simple. The rubber
in a liquid state is molded into tubing
of sizes suitable for forming the small
and medium varieties of bands. When
the tubing is ready for use it is put
into a rapid-running machine having
knives which cut or slice the rubber
into bands. The larger bands are cut
by machinery from flat sheets of rub
ber and joined together with the aid
of heat and a pressing machine. Rub
ber bands are made in only two colors,
black and brown. They range in size
from one-quarter of an inch to six
inches in length. The smallest bands
are one-sixteenth of an inch wide and
the largest are one and one-half inches
wide. The smallest bands are worth
24 cents per gross, while the medium
sized ones sell at from 4 S to 96 cents
per gross. The greatest consumers of
rubber bands are druggists and grocars,
They use the smallest and medium
sized bands in place of twine for put
ting up small packages. The large fiat
and expensive bands are used by court
officers, lawyers, bankers and mer
chants for filing documents and papers
No rubber bands are Imported into this
country, but a few American rubber
bands are exported to the West Indies
and South American countries."

DOUGLAS FACTORY
To De Enlarged Before the Tirst of Jaly
Will Make 6.000 Tairs Daily.
Advertising pays.
W. L. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity of his factory to 6,000
pairs of shoes per day. The addition
will add 16,000 square feet of space for
manufacturing purposes. At the same
time a new 400 horse-power engine and
an additional 150 horse-power boiler
will be Installed, which will afford ade
. quate power for the present and an
other addition to the factory, which
will no doubt be necessary later on.
When the factory starts up the first
of July it will be on an output of 500
dozen or 6.000 pairs of shoes per day,
and the weekly pay roll, exclusive of
office help, superintendent, foremen,
etc.. will be 522,000 per week. The
Douglas salesmen on the road are sell
ing 5 per cent more good 3 than last
season. The increased sales is the di
rect result of good shoemaklng and ex
tensive advertising. The advertising
expenditure of Mr. Douglas is now
larger than at any period of his busi
ness, and this is to be still further in
creased. Beginning this week half
page advertisements of the Douglas
shoe will appear in all the principal
newspapers of the large cities, as well
as such papers as the Youth's Compan
ion. Brockton, Mass., Times.

MAKING CHARITY MARMALADE.
A Very Successful Business That Is Car
ried On by Women.
The reduced gentlewoman who sells
jellies and jams for her own benefit 13
familiar figure In the commercial
world. The big and little grocers take
her wares and the "invalid delicacy"
establishments charge fancy prices for
them. The gentlewoman who makes
marmalade for charity is a different
person, but her success has been so
encouraging financially that women at
their wits' end to know what to do for
church fairs and village libraries and
other worthy objects may take a leaf
from the recipe book of this philan
thropic business woman. Eight years'
ago Miss Watson, a young woman In
terested in church work in a country
town, suggested to a few of her fellow
workers that they make some marma
lade for sale, giving the proceeds to
the parochial charities of the village,
says the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser. The idea met with favor and
the good church women started to
work in a business-like, practical man
ner. They knew how to make marma
lade. They were business-like and prac
tical and they had executive ability.
That year 117 pounds of marmalade
were sold, and after all expenses were
paid there remained $6.75 profit. The
following year both sale and profit
nearly doubled. The accounts for 1900
show a sale upward of 18,000 pounds.
The benefits of the manufacture were
quickly extended to other charities, a
large number of which now receive
contributions from the funds thu3
raised, which are devoted entirely to
charitable purposes. The work is car
ried on upon strictly business lines.
Several cottages have been rented as a
"factory," and the village girls find
work in this new industry. The mar
malade is daintily put up. with orna
mencai iaDeis, ana is, or course, as
good as its raison d'etre, or it would
never have sold so well and for so long
a time.

Vienna's I lab of the Divorced.
Vienna has a new society which
should rouse some American cities to
noble emulation. No woman not di
vorced Is eligible to membership, but
there is nothing frivolous about the or
ganization. It is to be called the Hu
manity club, and its badge is a silver
ing, engraved with that word, and
worn on the wedding ring finger. The
appropriateness of the name seems a
trifle occult; but, presumably, a divorc
ed woman has more troubles of her
own, in Austria, than here and needs
moral support. The idea of a band of
divorced women meeting weekly "for
mutual entertainment and support"
will probably strike the average Am
erican citizen as distinctly humorous;
but it is a serious matter in Vienna,
and the club proposes building for
itself a permanent home. New York

Sewed Up for the Winter.
This is a true story, and it was told
to the reporter by a prominent worker
In one of the east side settlements. The
other day a woman living In Rivington
street brought her little boy to the set
tlement house and expressed a desire
to have him enter the kindergarten.
The child had a bright face, but it
was woefully dirty, and one of the set
tlement rules is that all pupils must
present at least a clean exterior. So
the teacher looked at the little boy and
said: "Why, certainly he can come to
the kindergarten, but we want all the
children to be clean. Give him a good
bath tonight and send him to us In the
morning." "Bath," gasped the mother.

An interesting matter, from a scien

the death of the queen is the distance
at which the sound of firing was heard
when the fleet saluted as the body was

Letters in the English journals of
science show that the sounds of the

a distance of sixty miles, and that at
a distance of sixty miles the concus

A novel method of boring holes in

on a flat ship where a breakdown oc

Hon. B. B. Dovlner, Congressman
from West Virginia, in a letter from
Washington, D. C, to The Peruna Med
icine Co., says the following of their
catarrh remedy, Peruna:
"I Join with my colleagues In tha
House of Representatives in recom
mending your excellent remedy, Pe
runa, as a good tonic and also an ef
fective cure for catarrh."
Mrs. Mary C. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex., the following: "I
think I can 6ay that your good advico
and medicine has cured me of chronic
catarrh. I have had no pains in my
head since I have taken Peruna. I
have been in bad health ever since
'19, and have taken a good many med
icines which were only of temporary
relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. The
Peruna stopped my catarrh of the head
so that it did not become chronic, and
I am very thankful for Dr. Hartman's
advice and medicine."
Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal
diseases. It acts quickly and bene
ficially upon the inflamed mucous
membrane, thus removing the cause of
catarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh Is essentially the same every

tarrh in one situation will cure it ia
all situations.
