"I am now tweaty-four years old , "
iaid Edward Swan'on. of ltirhlte Pock ,
Goodhue County , ? Sinn to a Repualican
r reprcentatlve ! , "arid as you can sec I
dm not very large of stature When I
Was eleven years old I became afflicted
with a sickness which hauled the skill
and knowledge of the phrslclan. I was
not taken suddenly ill but on the contrary -
trary T can hardly state the exact time
when It began , The first symptoms
Were I > ains in my back and restless
nights , The disease ( lid not trouble me
much at first , but it seemed to have
settled in my body to stay and my bitter
I experience during the last thirteen years
proved that to be the case. I
was of course a child and
Stever dreamed of the sufferings
to store for me. I complained to
my parents and they concluded that in
'time I would outgrow my trouble , but
when they heard me groaning during
my sleep they became thoroughly
alarmed. Medical advice was sought
but to no avail , I grew rapidly worse
, % and was soon unable to move about and
finally became confined continually to
my bed. The best doctors that could be
had were consulted , but did nothing for
me. I tried various kinds of extensively
advertised patent medicines with but
the same result.
"For twelve long years I was thus a
sufferer in "onstant agony without respite -
spite , abscesses formed on my body in
rapid succession and the world indeed
looked very dark to me.'tout this
time when all hope was gone and nothing -
ing seemed left but to resign myself to
my most bitter fate my attention was
' called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. Like a drowning man
grasping at a straw , In sheer desperation -
tion I concluded to make one more at-
tempt-not to regain my health ( I dare
not to hope so much ) but if possible to
ease my pain.
"I bought a box of the pills and they
seemed to do me good. I felt encouraged -
aged and continued their use. After
taking six boxes I was up and able to
wall : around the house. I have not felt
so well for thirteen years as during the
past year. Only one year have I taken
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I am able
now to do chores and attend to light
duties ,
"Do I hesitate to let you publish what
I have said ? No. Why should I ? It is
the truth and I am only too glad to let
other sufferers know my experience. It
may help those whose cup of misery is
as full to-day as mine was in the past. "
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain , in a
condensed form , all the elements necessary -
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves.
They build up the blood , and restore the
glow of health to paleand sallow cheeks.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes ( never hr
loose hulk ) at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 , and may be had of all druggists -
gists , or direct by mail from Dr. Wil-
liams' Medicine Company , Schenectady ,

What Iio Should Take.
A magistrate of Edinburgh , contcmn-
porary with "Lang Sandy 1Pood , " eminent
nent physician , planned how to get
from the latter a prescription without a
fee. Taking advantage of a custom of
the tune , he invited Sandy to take his
meridian with him in a "change house"
near the Cross. Over the wine he gave
a long accountof his ailments , to which
Wood listened in grim silence. At last
he put the direct question : "Doctor.
what do yon think I should tak' ? "
, 'Talc : ' ' exelaimed Sandy. "why , if
ye're as ill as ye say. I think ye should
take medical advice. "

ERE I S OUR
Knight ! "
"This portrait ?
What a gloomy-
looking villain !
Surely he needed a
priest to shrive his
soul !
Dolores laughed ,
while the features of the cavalier in
the portrait had never appeared so
somber.
The hall was lighted by the feeble
ray of a small lamp placed in a lantern -
tern of open ironwork , and possibly
the picture , gathered additional heavy
shadows from the insufficient illumin-
ation. Certainly the knight now li
wore a most lowering and threatening
mien.
Dolores stood before Lieutenant
Curzon in her rose-colored frock , with
her mother's black lace mantilla
thrown over her head. Her dark eyes
sparkled like stars in anticipation
of the pleasure in store. The source
of so much happiness , the handsome
officer , could not be expected to appreciate -
preciate , with his more obtuse , masculine -
culine faculties , the exquisite satisfaction -
tion with which she extended to him ,
in greeting , a little hand encased in a
pink glove of extraordinary delicacy
and fineness of texture. What better
use could be made of the new gloves
of the Signorina Melita than to applaud -
plaud her with fingers clothed in
them on the occasion of her debut ?
"How lovely you are to-night ! "
whispered the young than , gazing at
her , and holding fast her two hands in
his own.
Dolores made a little movement of
withdrawal , which resembled the curving -
ing aside of the neck of the pigeons ,
and softly released the precious gloves
from too close a pressure.
"Dolores , will you wear this for my
sake ? " He drew a small , gold cross of
the Maltese form from a box , with a
slender cord attached. She bent
toward him to inspect the contents of.
the box with eager curiosity.
"Oh , yes ! "
"Will you wear it to-night , and
always ? "
"Yes ! How beautiful iris ! " with
delight ,
'Let me fasten the cord around your
throat then. "
She put aside the folds of the lace
mantilla wonderingiy , even a trifle
awestruck at so much good fortune. I
He dallied with the task , thrilled by
contact with silky tendrils of curling
hair and softly rounded neck. Suddenly -
ly he stooped and brushed her cheek
with his lips. Dolores trembled and
was bilent. The voice of Jacob Dealtry
became audible behind them , dry
grating , and unsympathetic , like the
note of certain insects.
"You can see the inscribed tablet on
the day after to-morrow. "
'Ah ? You must decipher it for me ,
Mr. Dealtry , " Lieut. Curzon answered
lightly , but he was destined not to
study the Phoenician characters for
many a day later.
Jacob Dealtry extinguished the
lamp , leaving the knight of the portrait - ;
trait gazing down , blankly , on a deserted - i
serted interior , and the whimpering ,
disconsolate Florio as guardian of the
premises , and locked the door of the
Watch Tower.
"I hope you may not find your opera
a fool's errand , " he remarked , testily ,
as the trio traversed the shadowy gardens -
dens and emerged on the highway. {
You are very good to go , Mr. j
Dealtry , " said the officer , gaily. i
"Your granddaughter is very fond of
music. " I
"Dolores ? Tut , tut ! She is too
young to know what she is fond of , " ! ;
said Jacob Dealtry. "Why should we
go to a debut at the opera ? What is it
to us ? " I
"I am eighteen years old , grand- !
papa , " protested Dolores , in a tone of
injured dignity. He laughed contemptuously - '
temptuously , and made some half-in-
articulate response.
Arthur Curzon took the hand of
Dolores in the darkness. He found it
very sweet to guide her light footsteps Il l I
on the rough path , and still more so i
to give her pleasuree. What a soft
young creature she was to be left in i
the guardianship of this , selfish old
man ! His heart was moved for her
isolation.
A cab , engaged by the lieutenant ,
waited at a certain distance They entered -
tered the vehicle , and the youth who
served as coachman urged his rough
pony to a rattling pace.
They were a silent party , save for
an occasional , cheerful remark on
the part of the young man. Was not
the stillness of Dolores eloquent
of a mute ecstasy of anticipated
pleasure ? His band once more sought
and clasped that of the girl , copcealed
by the folds of her dress. The meditations -
tations of Jacob Dealtry remained unfathomed -
fathomed , He sat erect , and the shafts
of light in the casements of houses
passed by the vehicle fell on a gray
and rigid visage What motive had
induced him to consent to emerging
into the world of his fellow-creatures ,
likenn owl or a night-moth ? Arthur
Curzon asked himself the question
with secret amusement and contempt.
The hope of getting gain was obvious.
They reached their destination. Dolores -
lores uttered a sigh of bewilderment
and satisfaction as she' sprang out of
the carriage and entered the theater.
Possibly she remembered , at the
moment , the invitation of the , singer
to seek the stage door on this auspicious -
cious occasion.
Captain Fillingham was wandering
about the corridor , helplessly , followed -
lowed by his energetic wife.
"If there has been a mistake about
our seats , John , dear'we must take
the best we can find , " remarked the
good lady , philosophically. "Of
course , it is is an abominable shame. "
"I can neither hear nor see
in that corner , " fumed the Ancient -
cient Mariner. "I will go home. "
At this juncture Arthur Curzon met
and paused to greet the couple.
' 'They have sold our seats twice
over , " said Mrs. Fillingham ,
The lieutenant urged their acceptance -
tance of a place in his box.
They willingly consented to the opportune -
portune proposition , and were installed -
stalled in a good loge of the first tier ,
already tenanted by Jacob Dealtry
and his grandchild.
A trifle disconcerted by this unfor-
seen denouement , Mrs. Fillingham
soon resigned herself to the fate of being -
ing provided with the best chair , while
fully giving the appearance of acting
as a chaperone to Dolores.
Lieut. Curzon established himself
near Dolores. Isis face wore a resolute
expression , as of a man who has
taken a decision and intends to hold
his ground.
Capt. Fillingham and Jacob Dealtry
occupied the rear of the box.
Mrs. Griffith and Miss Symthe took
their places on the other side of the
house. Arthur Curzon did not quit
his post. The two ladies responded
rather coolly to the greeting of Mrs.
Fillingham , who grew red , and looked
uncomfortable. The matron's re-
spouses to the talk of Dolores was dry
and dubious.
"What an extraordinary infatuation -
tion ! " said Mrs. Griffith , with an in
flection of scorn in her mellow voice.
Miss Symthe adjusted the bracelet
on her wrist The trinket was made
with cruel , little spiked ornaments.
She laughed a trifle bitterly.
"I fancy your cousin will get over
it , ' ' she replied , coldly.'Such passions -
sions are apt to be 'transient. "
"Let us hope so , " sighed Mrs. Griffith -
fith , who found all her matrimonial
schemes frustrated unexpectedly by
the headstrong perversity of her young
kinsman.
"He will scarcely marry the Maltese -
tese , " hazarded Miss Symthe , with an
oblique glances at Dolores.
"Scarcely , " echoed Mrs. Griffith ,
meditatively. "The girl may be very
artful , of course , and lead him on. "
" 'Those creatures are usually artful -
ful , " assented Miss Symthe , with
an irrepressible tremor of emotion
-

"How LOVELY YOU ARE TO-NIGHT. "
in her calm tones. "Whatever is
Mrs. Fillingham about to put herself
in such a position ? "
"Sane may be able to explain later ,
dear. It does seem rather odd , certainly -
tainly , " sad Mrs. Griffith , stiffly.
'The Fillinghams leave for Naples
in two days , you know , " added Miss
Symthe , with a slightly acid smile.
The grand duke and his suite occupied -
pied the place of honor. The young
prince languidly inspecting the house
through his glass , recognized Dolores
in her pink robe.
"Ah ! I thought we should find the
beautiful Phoenician again at the opera -
era , Now I can pay my debt before
departure , " he said , carelessly.
behind the scenes the prima donna
of the evening was guilty of the escapade -
pade of tripping on to the stage and
peeping through an aperture of the
curtain ; thus evincing , to the secret
satisfaction of Mrs. Brown , that she
was to the manner born an actress.
"There is my little Maltese , in her
rose-colored gown ! " exclaimed Melita ,
; leefully. "I will play for her , Mr.
Brown , and she must bring me good
luck. "
NSF
"An G : cetlent plan , " ussehtcd the
manager , smoothly. "A debutante
could do no better , my dear. Fix your
attention on that pretty girl , and see
nobody else. Not that f have the
slightest apprehension about your suc'
cessMelita. You are in splendid voice ,
and the debut down here is simply
practice. "
The pupil made a little , mocking
salutation to the audience beyond the
curtain , and retired to her dressing-
room to prepare for the ordeal in store
for her.
Dolores , the innocent Psyche , object
di these diverse reflections , sat in her
box , admiring the novel scene about
her.
In place of the solitary oil lamp
burning in the hall of the Watch
Tower before the portrait of the
Knight of Malta , a chandelier which
seemed to be a cone of jewelled light ,
spariaed and flashed with a wide-
spreading effulgence that fillgd the
house. Dolores revelled in a lavish
profusion of light The curtain , behind
which the singer was , at the moment ,
surveying her judges , was an enchanting -
ing picture to be studied , terrace ,
blue lake , villa , and mountain
background , with a volcanic sky.
Then there wcrs the ladies of
the ball , 4lrs. Griflith and Miss Symthe ,
who studiously avoided meeting her
frank glance of recognition. Such
coldness failed to wound her sensibili-
ties. No doubt they had forgotten her
by this time.
She stole a look at the grand duke ,
surrounded by the group of officers in
rich uniform , and it seemed to her
that he returned the gaze with kind-
ness. Perhaps men were more kind
than women. Dolores reasoned , for
even Mrs. Fillingham made snubbing
rejoinder if she addressed to th3 chaperone -
erone a timid question.
She recognized the Busatti family in
the space below with sudden malice
and amusement. Doctor Busatti was
talking with a young woman , while
his parents regarded him with com-
placency. Evidently they were an
engaged couple. The absence of the
physician from the Watch Tower was
thus explained. Did Dolores care ?
She had not thought of Giovanni Bat-
tista of late , and now his value may
have increased with his evident loss.
She felt like the cat suddenly deprived
of the plump mouse that runs away.
Ah , how ugly and yellow was the
affianced bride ! If the doctor would
only turn his head , she would
bestow upon him a sweet salutation.
But Giovanni Battista , the prudent
man , kept his attention fixed on the
swathy damsel by his side. The short
upper lip of Dolores curled scornfully ,
and her eyes flashed with a vengeful
gleam.
The next moment she turned to
Arthur Curzon with softest humility
of gratitude beaming beneath her silky
eyelashes , and touched , without apparent -
parent intention , the Maltese cresson
on her breast.
"You will always wear it. Dolores ? "
he whispered in her car.
. "Always , " was the no less fervent
response. 'I will use it at prayers instead -
stead of the crucifix. "
't'he orchestra was somewhat
shaky , the curtain rose , and the opera
Cu tnmenced.
The piece was , on the whole , well
mounted , and II Barbiere a jolly personage -
sonage in good condition. The prima
donna was politely welcomed by a
large and sympathetic audience. She
was manifestly nervous , ' and self-con-
scious to an embarrassing degree , yet
possessed a cuitivat dvoice of unusual
compass and flexibility.
Mr. Brown , who had quite exhausted -
hausted a large vocabulary of injurious -
ious epithets under his breath , at a
critical moment , when to his prac-
tised eye she seemed about to break
down altogether , received his charge
at the wings with an expression of
beaming affability. She looked at
him anxiously , and leaned against the
scene.
"It was abominable , was it not ? "
she w hispgred , hoarsely , and a light
of helpless rage burned to her eyes.
"Very good , indeed , my dear , " he
replied , and patted her shoulder reas-
suringly. "You will warm to the
work with the next act. "
She moved away with a petulant
gesture. 'I hate to be pitied ! " she
said , haughtily. "The audience was
like a sea of faces , heaving up and
down , ready to drown me. Then the
horrible spasm of fear began to contract -
tract my throat I felt myself nearly
lost ! "
"Why did you not look at your
pretty Maltesemaidenandno other' ? "
demanded Mr. Brown , in a tone of
authority.
' I could not find her in the crowd , "
confessed Melita , hanging her head.
"I sought her , and was wild with
fright. "
Mr. Brown controlled a choleric
temper with some difficulty. The
crisis of occasion demanded it lie rejoined -
joined smoothly , ' 'When you go on
again , Melita , look straight before
you , and a little to the right , and you
will find her. Keep your head , my
girl. These are not critics to fear
much. "

One View of Higher Education.
When a girl is making good , wholesome -
some bread , digestible pies and cakes ,
and keeping a house homelike and
comfortable for her father , mother
and brothers , it is said she is missing
the "higher education" necessary to a
woman's life. This "higher educa-
tion" is one of the mushrooms that
grow in the brains of poets , spiritualists -
ists , theosophists and fools , It means
that her father mother and brothers
should be content to eat soggy bread
and grow dyspeptic on canned goods
while she sits on tike bank of a stream
and reflects upon a lot of things that
do her harm. Every good and useful
woman avoids what is popularly known
as the "higher life , " the literal meaning -
ing of which is the higher foolishness.

It is best when working small pansies -

petals use dark rich purple shades , and
the three lower ones a light yellow ,
with dark veinings of the purple
