Nebraska City, Neb., Mar. 12, 1902. Prof. Theo K haras, umaha. Neb. Dear Friend: As much as I dislike to have my name In print, I feel It my duty to let people know of my former condition, and my cure. About three years ago I was suffering from lung trouble. Our best ductors said I had consumption, and gave me less than three months to live. Almost without hope I sent to you for treatment and when you said 1 could be cured it was hard for me to believe it. i had coughed until I had no strength left to uuugh any more, but Just simply had to turn on my side and let the blood and cor ruption run out of my mouth, not be ing able to spit it out. 1 had one hem on hage after another, and those con tinual and distressingifight sweats un til I was almost lifeless. In this'con dltion 1 began taking treatment of you, after trying our leading doctors and several kinds of patent medicines, which gave me no permanent relief, as I continually grew worse instead of better. It Is useless for me to try to describe my cure. I got belter right from the first two or three treatments, and In less than three months instead of being dead as our family doctor said 1 wouud be, I was perfectly well. My lungs are perfectly sound now, and 1 can take In more air now in one breath than I could in a dozen before. About a year ago our oldest daugh ter, Nellie, was troubled with St. Vitus Dance caused from a menstrual disor der, she being Just fourteen years of age then. We had to take her from school, but she kept on getting worse and worse until It Just seemed that she couldn't live. One night she was so bad it took four of us to hold her in bed, and then we telegraphed for you. and you came down from Omaha ami stayed about eight hours. She slept soundly after you first put your hands on her head, and Improved from that very minute. We a:e confident you saved her life. She is In the best or health now, but was given up by the doctors and our neighbors, as well as my husband and 1. Mr. Swlnney works In the B. & M. roundhouse here, and has for eleven ears, so we are ipjile well known. You may publish this letter, and you will always find me a warm friend of your excellent work. Wishing you suc cess, I remain. Yours very sincerely, .MltS. ANNA SWINNEY, Kearney Addition, Nebraska City, Neb. NOTR'K We have the original of this letter on file In our office, Bee Hldg., Omaha, and we also have hun dreds of others. Prove that anything we claim for our work Is untrue and you will get the above reward. A cat alogue with a large number of testi monials will be sent free. All our remarkable cures are made without medicine. Address Prof. Theodore Kharas, 4lh Floor Uee Bldg., Omaha, Neb.

Tha girl he left behind him, ah, how sad she looked that day; He saw her wipe her brown eyes when the train wa whirled away; He turned to watch her standing there, and Joy was in his breast. Whose course waa o'er tha prairies where the sun sinks In the west. He saw the girlish form grow dim and pass at last from view, Ha thought of her last words to him and of her last look, too; "The way is long, he said, "That stretches out ahead, But I shall win where glories are and bring them back to you." The girl he left behind him, ah, she sadly turned that day And went to sit alone and weep her new Iwirncd grief away; She felt his kiss upon her lips the flr'sETUe. he dared to claim And every soand she heard appeared, somehow to form his name. A feeling thai was strange and new lay deep within her breast, Her fancloa all went winging to this golden-tinted west; That night she watched the sun Go down and prayed for one Whose plea she might but yesterday have answered with a Jest. The girl he left behind him, ah, she wiped her tears away And later blushed to hear the words another had to say; The golden-tinted, glorious west lost all Its former charms; Bha levied against another's breast, held by another's arms. And he that Journeyed bravely where the world was rich and new Found one who waited for him there; her soulful eyes were blue "Poor girl!" he sighed. "I know You wait back there, but, oh, The lover whom you saw depart can ne'er return to you." S. K, Klser In the Record-Herald. The Storyette. mr. dan'Tcaller. The door creaked very slightly, but. It Jaired on Jasper Dane's nerves. He looked up with a frown. "Is this Mr. Dane?" A young woman was framed In the doorway. Jasper's frown slightly faded as lie caught sight of her. She was a pretty young woman and charmingly gowned, and she wasn't more than one and twenty. Jasper avoided the woman's page of his paper. He couldn't have told what the young woman In the doorway wore, but he recognized the fact that it was a combination that seemed to be Just suited to her. "Mr. Dane, the editor?" Jasper, pencil In hand, bowed again. The young woman advanced into the apartment. "You are much younger than I sup posed you to be," she said. Jasper's eyes opened wider. "I am not quite sure that I ought to take that as a compliment," he said. He even smiled. Then the pressing character of his work reminded him. His features stiffened. He raised his pencil again, and looked at the girl severely. "It's the very first time I was ever In an editor's sanctum," she said as her glance took in the dingy walls and the littered desk. "How can I serve you madam?" In quired Jasper. The girl looked ut him and she looked at the chair beside his desk. "Thank you," she said, and sat down. Jasper sighed and stared at the half written sheet before him. "Ate you sure it is the editor you want to see?" he asked. "The society editor Is at the lower end of the hall So are the musical editors and the art department. So is the dramatic ed itor." "I came to see you," said the girl. Jasper slightly flushed. 'Thank you," lie said. "I am on ex hibition at all hours. Is that all?" The girl shook her head. "Do you own the paper too?" she asked. Jasper frowned. "No," he replied. "I believe It s generally understood that Mr. Unas I.amson Is the paper's owner." "The railway president?" "Yes." "Has he any children?" "One." "Boy?" "No, a girl. A little girl who Is studying abroad." "How oitl?" "I don't know. Mr I.anson speaks of he as his little girl." Jasper was get ting fidgety. "1 beg your pardon," he said, "but you have not told mi how I can serve you." "No," she said, "I haven't." A brltf silence followed. 'Am I to Infer that you are getting up a society rectory?" Jasper Inqulr-d with a slight flavor of sarcasm. "No." Suid the gill, "the Inference would be wrong. Nor do I want my portrait on the socli ty page. No. I . have no tickets to sell and no subscrlp- tlon paper to sign. 1 came here to see you. A dear friend said 'You must see the editor of the Dispatch. He's well worth your while." Jasper couldn't help flushing again. "Am I reckoned among the leading sights of the town?" he asked. "No," Ihe gill gravely replied. "You com? between the geyser fountain and the xoo." Jasper laughed. "And do you come up here to tell me that?" he asked. "That for one thing," said the girl. "I don't suppose my presence here bothers you In the least, does It?" ".Madam," said Jasper, "I am a reck less user of the truth. Your presence prevents me from attending; to my du ties." "Perhaps this Is your busy tiny?" said the girl Innocently, "Thi n, of course. It Is Just as con venient for me cull today as any other day," said the girl. Jasper looked at her with a comical fxpraslon. He was allttlene&r-slghted and aa was his custom with callers, he had scarcely given her an appreci ative look when she entwred. Now, at shorter range, he saw that she was much prettier than he at irst supposed. Sha certainly was a very harming girl. A troubled look came into Jasper's ayes. "I beg your pardon," he said, "but may I remind you that you haven't statwl your business with me?" The girl looked Into his eyes with a clea. frank gaze. Then she slightly smiled and slowly removed an elastic band that held the small package she bore in one neatly gloved little hand. Jasper took quick advantage of her averted gaze to pull down his cuffs and make a quick pass at his twisted "I have written something," she said, "and I want to submit it to you." Jasper feit himself weakening. Or dinirily, he would have taken the man uscript, and hastily scribbling the writer's address on it, would have tossed it aside with the remark that he would communicate with the writer by mail concerning it and then he would have resumed his work. Now he hesitated. Ills pencil dropped from his fingers. He straightened up a little. "What Is the nature of the article?" he asked, In what he fancied was an Indifferent tone. "It isn't an article," said the girL "Do I look like a person who would wrlta an article?" She seemed to challenge his scrutiny. Jasper couldn't resist the temptation. He leaned a little farther back. "It isn't always possible to Judge by the appearance," he said. "But I fancied article writers were always old, and and fussy, and and cranky," said the girl. "There are exceptions," said Jasper. "There must be exceptions." "I suppose you know," said the girl. "Hut It isn't an article." "You arouse my worst fears," said Jasper as the girl spread out the man uscript. "I think I understand what you mean," she said. "I'm glad you do," said Jasper. "And I'm afraid your worst, fears are confirmed," she said. Jasper sighed. x "Then it is verses?" he said. "I supposed it was poetry," said the girl. "They always do," said Jasper. The girl looked up at him with a pretty grimace. "You are not a bit encouraging," she said. "It's the better way," said Jasper. "And yet you write verses yourself," said the girl. "And get them printed, loo." "Perhaps It Is because I haven't a friend honest enough to dissuade me," said Jasper. "1 have had no time for that sort of nonsense lately, however. "That's a pily," said the girl. "Don't think to soften me In that way," said Jasper. "I like those lines beginning 'She came upon me unawares,'" said the girl. "I know them by heart. 'She came upon me unawares, I turned and she was there.' " "I beg your pardon," cried Jaspr. "It is your lines that are under con sideration. Pray produce them," The girl gave him a .sidelong glance. "Did she come upon you unawares, Mr. Dane?" Jasper caught the glunce and slightly flushed. His look grew troubled again. "I live In hopis," he suid. "That's enigmatical," said the girl. "It shows you are not sure." "1 must object to your manifest in tention to throw me into a sensational mood," said Jasper. "It will not help you." The girl laughed and passed the man uscript to him. "1 know you will like it," she said. "Why are you so certain?" Jasper asked. "Because I haven't will ten on both sides of the paper," said the girl. Jasper bent over the manuscript to hide his smile. Then his look changed, The smile faded, lie read the lines with great care. Presently he looked up. The girl had been regarding him in tently. She met his eyes with an In quiring glance. "You want me to be frank," he said. "Of course." "The lines are quite too sentimental. They are of the old school where senti ment reigned. Nowadays we bluntly call il gush." "But It's not all had. Is It?" queried the girl. "Ry no means," replied Jasper. "Th execution Is good. If Ihe fripperies and affectations were dropped It would be very passable. If you would heed my advice they never do I might be tempted to ask you to try again." He folded Hie niiiniisci Ipt and handed It to her. "Thank you," said the girl. "I am sorry If my Judgment seems harsh," said Jasper. "It doesn't," said the girl. "I have tiled to tieni you as an hon est friend should," said Jasper. "Thank you again," said the girl. "I win admit that I lioS-il to see my verses In your paper." "Try again," said Jasper. The girl himsc and pui out her dainty hand. "1 am glad to know you, Mr. Dane," she said. "I have a very dear friend who has sung our praises until 1 am quite Jealous. I was leally anxious to meet you. lloodhy." Then she swiftly lidded with a charming smile, "I tun sure we shall meet again." The smile and Ihe words quite over came Jasper. "I I hope so," he fairly stammered us he arose to his feet mid watched her flutter from the room. As he resumed his scat a card upon the floor drew his attention. The girl had dropped it. He picked it up and caught sight of the name, and at one recognized the angular liand'iting. Then he read It aloud: "Dear Dane This is my daughter Ionle, Just come home from abroad. What she writes goes, of course. Yours, LIXAS LA -M SON. Dane softly whistled. So this was Lamson's little girl, this splendid young woman! How charm ing she was. and how friendly. Had ha hurt her feelings? What a brute hi) was! It would have been such a sJmplu thing to publish the verses. And shu newr showed him her fathei's note. That w as noble of her. He picked up his pencil and bent over his work. And piesently he softly hummed: She came upon me unawares L.turned--aiid she wijs there W. R. Rose In Cleveland Plain Dealer. How He Fought an Eagle. Denver, Col. (Special.) Charles T. Magagnus, an oil inspector, had a des perate encounter with a large eagle the other night. How or where his feathered antagonist came from, h does not know. He is convinced of a thrilling battle, however, which cost him many visible scratches and a full hour's work in the dark. Magagnus came to Denver from Deadwood In search of information re garding oil. He went to the Boulder fields and started on a prospecting lour, over the mountain supposed to contain great deposits of red sand, camping out enroute. Nightfall found him several miles away from habitation and in the midst of a severe wind storm. An abandoned hay barn, enclosed on all four sides, proved desirable shelter, and into the loft of this Magagnus crawled. He dropped the trap door through which the wind came in gusts and as he did so, was knocked off his feet by some thing feathery which struck him a violent blow on the chest. "I didn't know what hit me," de clared Magagnus, "and I didn't have time to find out. The trap door was closed, but I tried to open it in a hurry. Just then I got another bang which was a peach. I grabbed at the thing and caught hold of what I now know was the eagle's wing. 'With the other wing I got a great bunch of short arm jabs in the face and scratches on my face and hands from the talons until I was obliged to let go. I tried again to get out and used my pocket knife to lift the trap door. I had Just raised it when the big bird came at me again in the dark ness. I stabbed it twice with my knife and the second lime the blade broke off in the eagle, which took a peck at me that tore my coat off my arm. "Then 1 tried to climb down the lad der, but slipped. I grabbed the eagle, still lighting and the two of us fell to the ground below. I turned as I fell and threw the bird under me. "I guess 1 knocked all his wind out of him when we struck, but I didn't wall to llnd out. I was mad then and I jumped on him with my hob-nailed sho-s until I was pretty sure he was dead. Then I struck a match to Bee what kind of a bat had tackled me and was paralyzed to see a big eagle, still kii'king. "I killed and In the morning skinned it. I didn't lind oil, but I had a beau tiful scrap In the dark. I'd have drop ped dead with heart disease had I known what I was flgting." The eagle measures five feet two inches from tip to tip. It is apparently of the bald variety, more generally na tives of Californina and sometimes seen In the Rockies. How it came to be in the barn is a mystery, unless It, like Magagnus, sought refuge from the w ind storm. Short Fashion Notes, A new and dainty effect In floral gar niture consists of rosebuds formed of the palest shades of rose-colored chif fon. These are small In size and worn In clusters of all sorts on light pons and hats. Some of the most beautiful outer skirls for summer are of wash fabrics trimmed with flounces of fine embroid ered muslin. They ate pretty for use with shirt waists. In skirts for street wear or visiting the narrow labller effect Is noticed. The tabller may be of material 'o mutch the dress or of any novelties, such us velvet, satin oi silk veiled luce. A popular article of Jewelry is the pear-shaped pearl, which is worn sus pended In a short neckchaln, and ap pears In connection with every kind of gow u. It Is the f:id of the moment to put a touch of lace trimming on every article of clothing, and up-to-date stockings have a lace Insertion finish woven In the design. Corsets are more elaborately lace trimmed Mum formerly. Corset covers are made almost entirely of the flim siest lace, with Just a little silk or other material. White fans, with slicks of flneiy carved Ivory, are fashionable for even ing use, and the most beautiful designs In lace are hi Ightened up colored span gles in the smaller size. Butterfly ef fects are especially atlructlve. Straw fcr.l ' for wear with tailored suits are nf ihe wile hi I lor shape, with til :i y ii Hi d In nn anil low crown, ti InniM d wl h a sll!; n'rf. Ihe ends of which hang In sireiimeia H( n hark. i t t-1 bugx are preferred to mnny of Ihe chatelaine bags fastened to Ihe bell. New effects are constantly In troduced In the former style, and enn be obtained to blend with till shinies of material used for street wear. -;- FRILLS OF FASHION. The designs of embroidery .in whiia linen frocks are distinctly Kgyplian. Sailor hats retain their old time ptqi lllarily and the spring iesigrr are no ticeable for lliiir simplicity and style. With the while blouse the nndi.-h ac companiment is a white kid b -It heav ily stitched and fastened wiUi brass, kid or pearl buckl-.'. The chinchilla dot, a combitiatioa of black and white cher.ille, is seen on some of lb new vails with foundation of gray, white or black mesh varying from fine to course. A prttty little stickpin has t,'o tiny Faster bells, with clappers, with pearja on the ends, A nother jln has ji singl and less natural bell. The soft tint of tan recognized a biscuit, combined with baby blue, U a modish combination for spring wear, A touch of coral is occasionally intro duced. Belts of knitted silk, with clasps ot silver, art nouvaeu gold or gun metal, are admiring adjuncts for the spring shirtwaist suit or walking skirt and natty blouse. There is but little change in th shape of new dress skirts, but as to the fabric, it would seem almost im possible to make a mistake in its fash ioning, as the choice is now practicalljr without end. A number of charming rosaries ar to be seen, the beads and semi-precloua stones of different kinds, only on kind for each set of beads, however. Combinations of many colors go Int the neck chains. Some of the new canvas weavaa which are so much fa vored for spring ind summer gowns are brightened and embellished by hand embroidery in ar tistic designs executed with colored tapestry wools. Parasols, which are plain and y effective, are of silk in light shades. blue or pink, with the edge outlined with a narrow line of black chenllla, w ith a black dot of the same material a.t the end of the rod. A double-breasted blue suit has tw rows of cabouchon-shraped buttons of filigree work down the front, and frcm the center of each there fall three lit tle cords of gold, each finished with a ball. It gives a long tassel-like finish, lo the button. Selecting the silk tor gowns neces sary for the summer wardrobe is la '.hese days an artistic pleasure, whea extiles, qualities and designs make tha jnmade fabric a thing of beauty. There is this year shown a wondrous :hoioe of taffetas, India silks, crepes ie chine, Louisine satin, and satin ,'oulard. All these are seen ia every :oloi- of the rainbow, and a great many more colors that were never In tha rainbow, while even in the black and vliite melanges alone are exhibited, lovelties and effects innumerable.
