I X .1 Hv.x- BREAKS THL RECORD A TWENTIETH CEHTUEY FLYER Iff THE MEDICAL FIELD. Rheumatism Rapidly and Radically Cured. Quick Work of a Famous Reinrdy. Convenience, comfort, safety, epeed are demanded by the traveling public in onr rapid oentcry and the keenest intellects coubtautly at work on these problems are making -wonderful progress in the construction of the steamship and the locomotive. Like results are sought in medicines and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are astonishing the world by the triumphs they are winning in the rapid cure of obstinate maladies, snch as rheumatism. With speed they combine convenience, perfect safety ,aud cheap ness. Here is fresh proof of their concen trated virtues : Mr. Margaret Gantz, 'of No. 1327 Bodeman Btreet, Burlington, Iowa, is an industrious German woman, who about two and a half years ago found hernjlf in danger of losing her power to work altogether. She says : "I got rheumatism which made my knees and elbow very stiff and painful. I bad difficulty in raising my arms and I could hardly lift my feet over my doorstep. I ought to have gone to bed, but I could n't afford to do that, so I forced melf to work in spite of the pain and stiffness. After suffering for about fix months, I was told about Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People by a friend, who said she had been cured by them. On her udvice, I bought one box and in two weeks after I began to use them I was well and 1 have had no need to use thrill now for nearly two years;. Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills are a good ined icine and if I ever have rheumatism again I will get a bux right away. 1 have told many friends what they did for me and I am glad to have everybody know." This is valuable news to nil who suf fer from rheumatism. These pills hava also cured stubborn cases of locomotoi ataxia, ptrtml iiaralyfcis, St. Vitus' dance, t-fintica, neuralgia, nervous heartache, jwilpitation of the heart and all forms ot weaknetjs iu uinle or female. They are sold by all druggists, or will le sent directly from the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co., Svhenectady, N.Y., on receipt of the price, fifty cents per box; six loxesfor two dollars and n half. Look for the full name on every box. Broad-Minded Scotch Sectarian. A Scotch gamekeeper, a great light !n one of the kirks, was asked the difference between the Free and the United Free churches.

He did not release them immediate 'y but tightened his grasp as his eyes, rown suddenly keen, searched her face. His voice dropped low. "Ran ialin, it is very unlikely that Elfgiva's Fcratches have brought you to this. Do you stand in need of reminding that any man who has angered you has angered me? That my sword lies under your hand?" Her face seemed to have become glass before him, through which he looked into the innermost chambers of her mind. Terror-stricken. she snatched he hands away to cover iu "No, no!" she cried wildly. "I am angry with no one. I have found fault with no one. Draw no sword for me only let me go!" Again he turned from her and stood looking out at the clouds; but when nt last he spoke, his voice was the gentlest she had ever heard it. "You are wise in this, as in other things. Frode's daughter." he said, "and you shall certainly have your way. Sol diers I can trust shall go with y.m. in case there be danger from Norman's people and for women " She spoke up eagerly, "There is an old nun at Saint Mildred's. King, who hives me. I think she would come to me until others could be found." "Go then," he granted. "Thorkel shall see to it that men and horses are ready when you are." He held out his hand, but when she took it in both oi hers and would have saluted it rev erently, he would not let her but in stead raised her finder to his lips. An odd note was in his voice. "Heavy is It for my tongue to say farewell to you, Fi ode's- daughter," he said, "for your friendship has surpassed most other things in pleasantness to me." Frank liking mingled with gratitude and reverence as she looked up at him. "I ha-e got great kindness and favor from you. King Canute; I pray that you will Lc Very happy with gftur Queen." Perhaps her gaze was not quite clear as she crossed the room, for she did not see that the door-curtains were moving until she was close upon them, when they were thrust apart to admit the form of Rothgar Lodbroksson. Stifling a gasp, she shrank behind a tall chair. He did not see her, however, for his eyes were fastened upon the King, who had turned back to the window. He had cast aside the splendor of the "On your head it shall be J rojal guards, wearing over his steel shirt a kirtle of blue that made his i Corid face seem redder and gave to his ) fiery hair a hotter glow. Two senti nels carrying shining pines had fol lowed him in. uncertainly, and now one plucked at his arm. But the Jotun shook him ofT to stride lorward. clanking his heels with intentional noisiness upon the stone floor. At the clatter the King looked aicund. and the tone in which he spok his friend's name had in it more of passion than all the lover's phrases he had ever paid Elfgiva's ears. At to same time, he made a sharp sign i to the two sentinels. "Get back to I your posts." he said. In a moment the doors beyond the ! curtain had closed behind them, and j the to men were alone save for the i c.:rl hiding forgotten in the shadow of the chair. Rothgar laughed jarringly. "What ever has been told about you. you have not yet been accounted a coward. But I do not see how you know I shall not kill you. I have dreamed of it not a few times." .something like a veil seemed to fall over the King's face; from behind it he spoke slowly as he moved away to the dais upon which his throne-chair stood, and mounted the steps. "The same dream has come to me. but never has it occurred to me to seek yon rut to tell you of it." "No such purpose had I." the Jotun said with a touch of surliness. Pulling a bag from under his belt, he shook out of it upon the floor a mane of mat ted yellow hair. "If you want to know my errand, it is to bring you this. Yesterday it came to my ears that one of my men was suspected of having tried to give you poison through your wife's British thrall. I got them be fore me and questioned them, and the Scar-Cheek boasted of having done it. This is his hair. If you remember anything about the fellow, you under stand that he was not alive when I tcok it from him." The King looked immovably at the yellow mass. "You have behaved in a chieftain-like way and I thank you for it." he said. "But I would have liked It better if you had come to me aoout the judgment that raised this wall be tween us " Rothgar's threat gave out a savage sound. "Tempt me not! I am no slug gish wolf. I tell you. now as hereto fore, that it was your treachery which unshesthed a sword between us." "Rothgar my brother " the veil was rent from the King's face ani ne had stepped from the dais and seized he other by the shoulders as though he would wrestle bodily with him "by the Holy Ring. I swear that I have hover betrayed you! If you grudge not the land to the Englishman, you have no cause to grudge him anything i:nder Ymer's skull. Can you not un derstand " But Rc.tbgar's hand Had fallen upon the other's breast azd pushed him -ekward so that he was forced to King Canute Danish Conquest. catch at the chair-arm to save himseif from falling. "You undertake too steep a climb when you try to make me believe in your love while before my eyes you give to the man 1 hate my lands and the woman you bad promised me and my place above your men " His rage choked him so that he was obliged to break off and stand drawing his sword from his sheath and slamming it back with a sharp sound. His voice came back in a hoarse roar. "When I reckon up the debt against you, I know that the only thing to wipe it out would be your life Not taking poison nor underhandedly. but torn out of your deceitful body as we stand face to face. If I could do that it might be that my anger wouhs. be quenched." Again be drew his blade out and this time he did not shove it back. His huge body seemed to draw itself together, crouching, as he leaned forward. "Why do you stand there looking as if you were Odin? Do you think to blunt m weapon with your eyes? Why do you tempt me?" The King had not moved away froir the chair against which he had stag gcred. and the prints of his nails were on its arm.- He was as though he hae hardened to stone. "To show you that I am stronger than you, though I face you with bare hands," he said. "To show you that you dare not kill me." "Dare not!" Rothgar's laughter was a hideous thing as he cleared at p bound the space between then. His sword was full-drawn now. "Shout fo: your guards! It may be that the will get here in time." But the King neither gave back nor raised his voice. "I will not." he said, "nor will I lift hand against you. On your head it shall be to break the blood-oath." Now they were breast to breast. In her mind, the girl in the shadow flung open the dcors and shrieked to I the sentinels tnd roused the palace: I in htr l;ody. she stood spellbound. voiceless, breathless. Still Rothgar did not strike. It was the King who spoke this time also "Among the sayings of men in Nor way," he said coldly, "there is on they tell of a traitor who carried r sword of death against his King, but lacked the boldness to use it before the King's face. So he begged hic lord to wrap a cloak around his head that he might get the courage to ask a bcon. When that had been done, he to break the btocd-cath." stabbed. Do you want me to cover my eyes?" .f ith a hoarse cry, Rothgar flung his sword back to his sheath, recoiling there was even a kind of fear in his manner: "A fool would I be, to set your ghost free to follow me with that look on its face! Keep your Jife and instead I will torture every Angle 1 can get under my grip, for it is they who have turned a great hero into a nithiug may they despise j-ou as you have despised your people for their sakes!" Invoking the curse with a sweep of his handlcss arm, he strode !'rom the room. Randalin did not see when he passed hr. for her eyes were on the King as he stood looking after his foster-brother. "Ah, God. what a terrible world hast Thou made!" she murmured, as she put up her hands to ease the swelling agony in her threat. "No longer will I try to live in it. I will go to the Sisters and remain with them al ways." CHAPTER XXVIII. In Time's Morning. The hot glare of a July sun was en the stones of the Watling street and July winds were driving hosts of bat tling dust-clouds along the highway, but in the herb garden of Saint Mil dred's cool shadows lay over the dew beaded grass and all was restfulncss and peace. The voice of the girl who was following Sister Wynfreda from mint clump to parsley bed. from fen nel to rue. was not much louder than the droning -of the bees in the lav ender. "If it be true as you say " she was speaking with the passionate bitter ness of wounded youth "if it be true that in his place anyone would have believed what he believed, then is this a very hateful world and I want no further part in it." Awhile, the nun's eyes widened and paled as eyes that see a vision, but at last she bowed her head to trace a cross upon her breast. "Not so; it is God's wisdom," she said, "else would the world be so beautiful that we would never hunger after heaven." Mechanically, Randalin's hands fol lowed hers through the holy sign; then she clasped them before her to wring them in impatient pain. "That is so long to go hungry. Sister! I shall be past my appetite." Dropping down beside the other, her slim young fingers began to imitate the gnarled old ones as they weeded and straight ened. "I wonder at It. Sister Wyn freda, that you do not urge me to creep in with you. A year ago, you anted it when I wanted it not; but no when I am willing, you hold me off." "Is it clear before your mind that you are willing, my daughter: the nun asked gently. As she drew her self to her feet with the aid of a bush. ( ' the cramping of her feeble stiffened es contracted her face in mo mentary lain, but her eyes were rene as the altar lamps. "It lies upon you to remember, little sister that those who would serve God around the altar must not go thither only be cause the world has mistreated them and they would cast it off to avenge the smart. She who puts on the yoke of Christ must needs do so because it is the thing she would desire of all. were all precious things spread out for her choosing. Can you look into my eyes and say that it would be so with you?" Where she knelt before her. the girl suddenly threw her arms around the woman and hid her face in the faded robes. The frail hand stroked the dark hair affectionately. "Think not that I would upbraid you with it. child as dear as my own heart. When the Power that took you from me led you back again, and I read what God's fingers had written on your face that before was like a Iineless parchment, I could not find it in my mind to wish you otherwise. I felt only shame for the weakness of my faith, and joy past all telling." Under the soothing hand, Randalin's sobs slowly ceased; when at last she raised her wet eyes there was no lonc;r rebellion in them but only vout-h's measureless despair. "Sister, now as always, I want to do what you would have me but I am so full of ";r:ef! Must I go back to Avalcomb icd begin all over again? It seems to tne that my life stretches before me no more alluringly than yonder dusty road, that runs straight on, on, over vast spaces but always empty." (To be continued.) Canoeing in Venice. William D. Foulke, formerly civil ervice commissioner, has been spend "ng the summer in Venice, where he ias been engaged in literary work ;ays the Washington Star. Mr. Foulke urpriso the Venetians by launching an American canvas cance and pad Hing his way about among the gon lo'as. The natives everywhere vatched the queer proceeding, and the gondola men became alarmed lest heir occupation might be taken away by the introduction of such an innova tion, that seemed to make the services if a second man entirely unnecessary. Mr. Foulke is an expert devotee of the canoe. He has paddled about in American waters until he feels as nuch at home wielding the paddle as if he were walking along the street. 4e paddled among the gondolas, and .andled his canoe with far more ease 'ban it is possible to handle the more cumbersome craft that are found in the waterways of Venice. He became convinced that it would not take much ime to introduce the canoe in Vene tian canals as a permanent institution f some manufacturer were to go to the trouble and expense of once estab lishing their use and gradually get a number of people accustomed to hand ling them: CARE OF A RAZOR. Its Occasional Real Need Is the Rest Cure Steel Gets Tired. "The average man who shaves hira--elf doesn't know how to take care of his razor, despite all the advice Miat has been given to him in the public prints from time to time," says G. A. Helglass. expert barber. "He will get a good razor and u-e It day after day. then wonder why at the end of a short time it loses its sdge. even though he strops it most carefully. A razor needs brief inter vals of rest or it will grow dull, no matter what efforts are made to keep It sharp. If you have a good razor ind it appears to be losing its edge, just try a rest for it. instead of having it sharpened up again. The chances are that when you put it :nto use again, at the expirrticn of three or four days, it will prove as sharp as if it had been carefully honed. Take a Course of Corn Focd. There is more than a grain of truth in the statement recently made that in our scramble for new breakfast foods we have failed to appreciate the nour ishing, health-giving properties of corn and of corn meal. And the context of the statement mentioned deals in fy:s when it says that the mush and milk of a few years back produced children of a ruddier hue than those we are ac customed to see in these times Com meal is posse-sed of just those proper ties that make it a highly suitable winter fcod. Besides this, it seems an accompaniment the most natural for pork chops, sausages and such things that we Americans favor for cold weather breakfasts. Let us take, then a course in corn products. Weeding the Grass Widcw. The latest fad in this day ol Iivorces is for the grass widow to go into mourning. It is not that she is mourning for the man whom she has perhaps well lost, but that she is mourning for her shattered ideals It is not necessary to adopt crepe in order to express grass sorrow. Half mourning is quite good enough; for after all the fair divorcee is only half sorry. A gown, say, of black chiffon silk, touched up with a sad note of violet or a peaceful strain of white; a bonnet with just a suggestion of pen sive drapery, and a black and white dotted parasol, serve nicely to ex press one's emotions after this sort of catastrophe. In the words of Lady Duff, who started the fad for emotional gowns, such a costume would express "sol emn, sweet sadness, lit by dim rays of hope." Verses on His Dog. "No. sir," said the struggling youne poet, "editors do not give a fellow any encouragement. One day last week I waited two hours to see the editor of a ten-cent magazine. I told him i had written some verses on my dog. "He asked me what part of the dog I had used, and then said if I didr't live too far away he would run up and look at it. "I explained that I had the verses with me, and handed tbem to him. with the remark that I had Just dashed them off. "He quickly glanced over them, and handed them back, telling me ! didn't dash 'em off far enough. Chi cago Record-Herald. Cause of Her Tears. Carrie Elizabeth is a two-year-old philosopher.

Japanned leather, generally called patent leather, was first made in .n. erica. A smooth glazed finish is first given to calfskin in France. The leather is curried expressly for this purpose, and particular care is taken Co keep it as iree as possible from grease. The skins are then tacked on .rames and coated with a composition of linseed oil and umber in the pro oortion of eighteen gallons of oil to five of umber, boiled until nearly solid ind then mixed with spirits of turpen tine to the proper consistency. Lanip nlack is also added when the composi tion is applied in order to give color md body. From three to four coats of this are necessary to form a sub stance to receive the varnish. They are laid on with a knife or scraper. To render the goods soft and pliant each coat must be very light and thorough ly dried after each application. A thin coat is afterward applied of the same composition of proper consistency, to be put on with a brush and with suffi cient lampblack boiled in it to make a perfect black. When thoroughly -dry it is cut down with a scraper having turned edges, when it is ready to varnish. The principal varnish used is made of linseed oil and Russian blue, boiled to the thickness of printers' ink. It is reduced with spirits of turpentine to a suitable consistency to work with a brush and then applied in two or three separate coats, which are scraped and pumiced until the leather is perfectly filled and smooth. The finishing coat is put on with special ?are in a room kept closed and with the floor wet to prevent dust. The frames are then run into an oven heated to about one hundred and seventy-five degrees. I PHRASE OF GALLIC NEATNESS. Compliment That Could Not Fail to Turn Away Anger. George Grey Barnard, the sculptor, is hard at work in France, in the town of Moret, upon his decorations for tee state capitol at Harrisburg. An American visited Mr. Barnard's studio in September, and, while he was watching the sculptor modeling, a strange lookirg figure reeled past the window a long-haired man in a velvet coat, with a bottie of wine in each hand. This figure paused in the quiet street, took a sip from each of tne bottles and went on again. "What a queer spectacle," said the visitor. "That is the town drunkard," said Mr. Barnard. "He is a person of tal ent, too. He writes verses, paints a little and has composed four popular songs. He is such a witty chap that it is dacgerous. in conversation, to cross blades with him. "Sometimes he says the pleasantest. brightest things. One evening, for !n stance, he was staggering homeward, after an afternoon at the cafe, when the town marshal met him. " 'See, here. Casimir. the marshal said, 'why don't you stop drinking if not for your own sake, then for the sake of your two boys? Your eani pie to those little fellows is pern: cious. It will ruin their career. "Cassimir smiled bowed and waved his hand deprecatintily. " 'My dear marshal." he stuttered de de despite what ou sny, I m tend to make of my boys what you will never be able to make of yours. ""What is that?' said the marshal. " "Better men,' said Cassimir, "than uieir father."' Woman's Happiest Age. When a girl is eighteen he thinks the best time of a woman's life mu?t certainly be from eighteen to twenty two. When she has passed her twenty-second year, she is decidedly of opinion that from then until the age of twenty-eight really marks the lim its of the best time, and when thirty comes on the scene she is ready to give way to all those who believe a woman to be then at the zenith of her life. It is generally maintained that after twenty-five the average woman begins to attain her physical and men tal perfection, and that for some eight or ten years after this she still re tains her charms undiminished. Af ter this time, of course, it depends en tirely upon the woman whether she chooses to advertise her years, or by her charming personality and clever dressing conceal all ravages of time. Exchange.

Lord Tempest, a crack shot, coached Mrs. Drexel until she has become quite expert at almost any range from 100 to 1,000 yards. Family Forms Brass Band. In Mount Joy, Pa., there is a brass band of nine pieces, the players being a father, four sons and four grand sons. Henry Way, the father, is leader, aged 60, and the youngest player is Edgar Way, 11 years, old, who is a cornetist. The unique organ ization is widely known, being fre quently a feature of entertainment ia that section. Cost of Moving Kruger's Body.

When the iuke objected to following the direc tions the sharp-tongued Duchess Sarah broke in by saying: "I'll be aanged if it does not cure you." ""There, my lord," interposed Garth, "you had better swallow it; you will gain either way." Seagull a Weatherwise Bird. The seagull makes a splendid living barometer, says the Lahore Tribune. If a convoy of seagulls fly seaward early in the morning, sailors and fish ermen know that the day will be fine and the wind fair: but if the birds keep inland though there be no haze hanging out toward the sea to denote unpleasant weather interested folk know that the elements will be unfa vorable. Paid for Daughter's Opportunity. That bis 17-year-old daughter might get her chance on the stage, a well known English stock broker guaran teed the whole of the expenses of a new production, conditionally upon his favorite being given, and trained, for the leading role. The venture cost him over 7.000. but the young lady has since earned a creditable theatri cal reputation. Firmness Needed.
