Mention this paper. \ j J 1 . Quite recently, according to “the public prints.” a "M-st Ex-l-t-di P-r-s-n-ge." as Thackeray would pit it had occasion to regret the writing or certain letters. He may, if this be true, console him self with the reflection that there are many, many others. There is a man in Washington who. only the other afternoon, experienced perhaps a keen er mortification over certain letters that he had written than any “Ex-I-t-ed P-r-s-n-ge” ever did. It was a rainy afternoon, and his wife was doing some ante-Christma^ rummaging in one of her old trunks. From |hat trunk she plucked a pack age of old, rather faded letters, neatly tied up in cerise ribbon, and then she came downstairs to where her hus* band was attempting to read tht} newspaper. There was a certain ma licious twinkle in her generally ami able eye. "You used to care for me in those days,” was her curious way of open ing the conversation. ‘Huh?” said her husband, looking up vaguely from his paper. “What’s that?” “Used to love me then,” she said'; untying the packet of letters and pull ing one of them from its envelope. . “What days? Whatehoo talking about? Whatehoo got there?” he asked. "Oh. some letters,” she replied •uaciaiy. some oi your— “Oh, rubbish, Matilda!” he broke in * 'Please lemme alone. I'm reading.” “Here's one of them, written shortly ! after we were engaged," she went on | unheedinglv. “ ‘I am not a wealthy j man,' she quoted from the faded page, J hut I can, at least, my darling, strew :he path for your adorably dainty feet ! with wild roses and poppies—’ ” “Oh. I say," he broke in, "flag that, ! won't you? What's the answer to all this? Please lemme 'lone. Can’t you see that I'm reading?” s “And here’s another passage,” she went on remorselessly. “ 'When I look into your dear violet eyes I feel, stir ring within me, the awakenings of a new life, the moving harbingers of something higher and—’ ” “Please cut it out, my dear,” plead-, °d the husband, his face reddening. "Horrible rot! Wish you'd lernme ’lone.” "Here’s another one, written about 40 minutes later—you used to write me about nine letters a day then, you know, dear. You say here: 'When I hold you in my arms, and inhale the dewy sweetbriar fragrance of your sunny hair. I feel as Paris must Lave felt when he clasped Helen to his heart in the golden antique years—” “Oh, for Heaven’s sake, can that, rot, won't you, please Matilda?” the man begged, but it was no use. “And then you go on to say: ‘Never, since the Chaldean shepherds watched | their flocks in the dusks and twilights of the ancient world, has woman been worshiped as I worship my Matilda. Sever since—’ ” “Great Caesar, what a muff, what a muttonhead, I must have been!” jroaned the husband. “Wha\ a—” “Why. I think it's real nice, really." said his wife, with a sort of retrospec-' tive smile on her face. “I couldn’t understand a good deal that you wrote, of course, because you know you were such a—er—florid and stylish writer, my dear, but— Well. \ here is something that Luinderstood. i though: At the outset m the dear | journey which we are to take, hand in nand, I promise you that never once j shall you hear so much as an unkind '• word cross my—' ” ' Say, look here, Matilda, that junk ' all runs for Sweeney. Please forget it. What the deuce is your idea in springing it on me now, when—” “This sounds nice, too: Those precious, lily-white and hyacinth- j sweet hands of yours shall never have to be soiled with—’ ” “Tell you one thing—I’m go ng to 23 out o’ here, Matilda, if you don't i drop that. I won't sit here like a flat head and listen to you unreeling that kind o’—” 1UU uacu luiun ow 1U uv, u Ui .xi; ears, too. Listen to what you said ol ’em here: ‘They have the dainty elusive tint of such a beauteous sea shell as that in which Venus must have risen from the sea, and—’ ’’ “There may have been worse lob! sters than I was when I uncoiled all of that superheated steam, but if there were I’d like to have a peek at ’em just for the sake of—” “And my nose, too, you used to bo so fond of: ‘Shaped like Clvtie's, and with the most adorable little solitary freckle perched right on the bridge; and—’ ” “It's hard to believe tnat 1 ever took my pen in hand to scribble such in fernal gibberish. Don’t believe I wrote such stuff at all. Don’t believe I ever was such a noody-naddy as to—” “And here’s where you say: ‘I shall idolize you even when you are old, and when your dear head Is all silvered over, and the little lines of Time's making are—’ ” “That'll be about all o' that," said the husband then, bounding up. “Me for out of doors. Swell gag, when a man's fired out of his own house on a drizzly day, just because his wife in sists upon,” etc., etc. Then, and then only, when he was making for his overcoat and hat, did she put the letters away, thus permit! ting him to sit by his own fireside. Why does—that is to say, why did anybody—ever write such letters? “For This Relief—” Nervous Amateur Lecturer (who has just received a message from his lantern man that the oxygen for the Jimelight will last only five minutes longer)—And now, ladies and gentle men, I must conclude, as my gas is giving out.—Harper's Weekly.

Shallow wells, giving out a good ! quality of oil, have been discovered around Mexico City, but the flow has been exceedingly limited and explora tions are not now being made in that ' vicinity. BALM OF SCRIPTURE HEALING PROPERTIES OF PINE KNOWN TO ANCIENTS. Oil of the White Pine Tree Used Suc cessfully by Physicians in Treat ing Consumptive Patients. The Oil of the Pine Tree Is sup posed to be the balm of Scripture. It contains great medicinal properties and was regarded with the utmost esteem by the ancients, and to the present day is peculiarly prized by the people of the East. A noted authority on diseases of the throat and lungs, who established a camp for consumptives in the Pine Woods of Maine, says that his entire treatment consisted of fresh air, nourishing food and the Pure Virgin Oil of the White Pine Trees, mixed with Whisky and Glycerine in the fol lowing proportions: Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure). .V»oz. Glycerine.2 “ Good Whisky .8 “ Psed in teaspoonful doses every four ho^rs. it is ciaimeu tne above mixture win heal and strengthen the lungs, break up a cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable. The ingredients can be secured from any good prescription druggist at small cost, and can be easily mixed in your own home. Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up only in half-ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden case with engraved wrapper with the name—Virgin Oil of Pine (Pare), prepared only by Leach Chemical Co.. Cincinnati, O.— plainly printed thereon. There are many rank imitations of Virgin Oil of Pine (Pare), which are put out under various names, such as Con centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Bal sam, etc. Never accept these as a substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will invariably produce nausea and never effect the desired result. New Use for Roentgen Ray. An ingenious if not novel use has been found for the kind of radiance discovered by Roentgen. With its aid a photograph has been taken showing the machinery of an automobile, wuu out removing the hood which covered it _. Thoroughly Reliable. If ever there was a reliable and safe remedy it is that old and famous por ous plaster—Allcock's. It has been in use for sixty years, and is as popular to-day as ever, and wo doubt if there is a civilized community on the face of the globe where this wonderful pain reliever cannot be found. In the selec tion of the ingredients and in their manufacture the greatest care is taken to keep each plaster up to the highest standard of excellence, and so pure and simple are the ingredients that even a child can use them. Allcock's are the original and gen uine porous plasters and are sold by Druggists all over the world. •AID WOMEN MARRIED HIM. Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by French Bigamist. At Versailles, France, recently a baker was tried on a charge of polyg amy, having married five women, who are living and undivorced. The pentagamist's defense was that he had not married the women; they had married him. When they proposed he had not the courage to say no. Neither money nor love, he said, had prompted his nuptials; he was the victim of the stronger wills of his successive spouses. Of the five wives three appeared as witnesses, but did not prosecute, saying that their com mon husband was a toper of whom they were glad to get rid. He was acquitted—on what ground does not appear. As all the years in which the multiplex husband took wives were leap years except 1881, in which it would seem that in four out of the five cases the women had the right to propose. But the man had the right, even in the leap years, to decline, and it was up to him at least to explain to his fair suitors that he was engaged. To establish the prin ciple that a man is not responsible for the number of his wives unless he himself dees the courting, would be plainly against public policy. If “Barkis is willin’,” that at once puts all the responsibility on him, no matter who managed the prelimi naries. WHITE BREAD Makes Trouble for People with Weak Intestinal Digestion. A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician who instructed her not to eat white bread for two years. She tells the details of her sickness and she certainly was a sick woman. “In the year 1887 I gave out from overwork, and until 1901 I remained an invalid in lied a great part of the time. Had different doctors but noth ing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro-spinal congestion, female trou ble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doctor and after having gone without any food for 10 days the doctor or dered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts and the only medicine was a little glycerine to heal the alimentary canal. “When I wa.j up again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and no white bread, for two years. I got well in good time and have gained in strength so I can do my own work again. “My brain has been helped so much, and I know that the Grape-Nuts food did this, too. I found I had been made ill because I was not fed right, that is I did not properly digest white bread and some other food I tried to live on. “I have never been without Grape Nuts food since and eat it every day. You may publislf this letter if you like so it will help someone else.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Get the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” fti pkgs. TERRIBLE TO RECALL. Five Weeks in Bed With Intensely Painful Kidney Trouble. ?^rs. Mary Wagner, of 1367 Kossuth avenue, Bridgepoit, Conn., says: "I was so weak ened and gener ally run down with kidney dis ease chat for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was con tinual bearing down pain, ter ■ -afsrv\ •. rime cacKacces, ■*••• headaches and at times dizzy spells when everything was a blur before me. The passages of the kidney secretions were irregu lar and painful, and there was con siderable sediment and odor. I don't know what I would have done bat for Doan's Kidney Pills. I could see an improvement from the first box, and five boxes brought a final cure." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milbum Co.. Buffalo. X. V. Rich Men Work for Pleasure.

The possibility of life without mind, while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through its advocacy by Dr. L. Laloy, librarian of the Academy of Sciences. Paris. He be lieves that many of the smaller living organisms, such as insects, are mere moving machines, having no more in telligence than may be ascribed to plants. He refers to the well known fact that insects are attracted by light, often to their own destruction, and as cribes it to the same cause that in clines the plant to grow toward the light A woman gets almost as much sat isfaction out of a good cry as a man I does out of a "smile.” 6AST6IA For Infants and Children.

Priscilla's Revenge. It was in the days of old when knights were bold and dressed in gleaming armor. “George, dear." said Priscilla, over her daily task, ' wilt thou not help me with my skeins?" “By the tower of /London—no!” roared George, as he sharpened his lance. “You haven't a spinning wheel for a husband.” Two hours later George returned from the fray with his armor bat tered and torn. “Dearest Priscilla,” he said, soft ly. “wilt thou not put a few patches on my dress suit?” “No, George,” replied Priscilla, sweetly. "You haven’t a blacksmith for a wife.” And the bold knight was so hu miliated he went over to Ye Frozen Heart tavern and stood the tavern keeper off for a tankard. 5E I Many women suffer in silence and B drift along from bad to worse, know- B icg well that they ought to have B ■ immediate assistance. iUi v many women do you know who a imperfectly well and strong?
