"Careers for the Coming Men" Is a prac
tical and authoritative discussion of the
professions and callings open to young
Americans and Is a collection of "open let
ters" on these subjects published originally
In the New York Tribune. Not only was
care eierrlsed to cover a wide range of
subjects that our young Americana might
be reached, but the writers chosen were
men whose right to speak with authority
would be unquestioned, men who have at
tained signal pre-eminence in their several
spheres of activity. These letters were
compiled by Whltelaw Reld. The Eaalfleld
company Is the publisher.
Among the seasonable honks Is found a
new edition of "Cape Cod Folks." written
many yeara ago by Mrs. P. McLean Greene,
who through her close relationship to
many of the early colonists numbers among
her kinsmen many of these "Cape Cod
folks." Wben a young woman Mrs. Greene
was asked by a friend who had been teach
ing "down on the Cape" to take her school,
as she was unable to continue with the
work. For five months she taught and
studied among the settlers on the Cape,
unconsciously gathering the material for
her books. It relates many of the customs
and traditions of these early settlers and
will prove of great Interest to those Inter
ested In the people of our own country, al
though It Is not related In historical form.
There are thirty-two full-page and twenty,
flve vignette halftone Illustrations from
original designs by Clara EX At wood and
from photographs. The book Is very pret
tily bound In gray, with gilt lettering, and
will prove one of the very popular books of
the season. PeWolfe, Fluke A Co. of Bos
ton are the publishers.
"Your Ivlng Nell" are letters written
home, depleting the experiences an Amer
ican woman who studied music under
some of the greatest masters of the Paris
and Vienna studios, full of charm to
music lovers. Blighted ambition Is ever
a source of pathetic Interest. With an
"open grave," by strange coincidence
mentioned In the first letter of this col
lection and a closed grave pictured at the
end the Imaginative reader can almost see
the hand of fate propelling the pen of the
writer. Published by Funk & Wagnalls.
"The Three Prisoners," by W, H. Bhel
ton, published by A. 8. Barnes A Co., Is
an original and exciting story of boys snd
a schoolmaster who became Involved In
war In spite of thewtseJves. Dramatic Inci
dents of the great Civil war,' In which the
author himself took part, are mingled with
a atlrrlng story of adventure, danger, Im
prisonment and escape. The author tells
us that the story Is true and the unex
pected happenings throughout might be
held to be another proof of the strange
ness of truth. VThe Three Prisoners"
gives a fresh view of the life of the great
war. It Is not only a story quickening In
Interest throughout, but a book of sterling
worth, which will be read again and again
and valued aa a living page of American
history.
"In Camp at Bear Pond" Is a camping
story for boys. It relates the experiences
of two boys who camp out In the "bear"
country of Pennsylvania. They have all
the fun and good times Incident to a suc
cessful "camping," for there wan fishing
and hunting In abundance, and they discov
ered an Indian treasuro mound, captured
two bear cubs and had an encounter with
a wildcat, not to mention their many lesser
experiences. The book, tells a great deal
of woodcraft, which Is usually of great In
terest to boys and gives exact Information
as to tents and other requisites for camp
ing out. Harper & Bros, are the publishers.

The H. M. Caldwell company of Boston
has just published a new authoritative
work on physical culture by Dr. Dudley
Allen Sargent, under the title of "Health,
Strength and Power." Dr. Bargent has
spent thirty-five years of his life In the
advancement of physical culture, twenty
five of which as the director of Harvard's
Hemenway gymnasium. His numerous arti
cles and papers on physical training are
well known, as well aa his many inven
tions. In this work of MO pages Dr. Bar
gent has aimed to make physical training
more popular by devising a series of exer
cises which require no apparatus whatever.
It la profusely Illustrated with half-tone
Illustrations from original photographs fur
nished by the author. The book does not
appeal to the athlete or student In whose
life physical activity plays a considerable
part, but to those who lesd a sedentary
life, whether man or woman. At this time,
when the benefits of outdoor living and
breathing pure air are being agitated, the
simple exercises, when followed as here
described, cannot but be found beneficial
to the highest degree, and the work should
be in every household.
The IPOS Christian Year Kalendar (Episco
pal) is Just off the press of the Church
Kalendar company of New York. It con
tains a very complete church dictionary,
and one would have to purchase hundreds
of dollars' worth of books and spend long
hours in research to obtain the Information
which this kalendar affords at a modest
outlay of 76 cents. It seeks to present the
holy seasons, and days, and sequences of
the sacred year, together with the tables
of lessons, historical facts, rituals, cere
monies, liturgical colors, decorations for
the altar and chancel In an attractive and
Intelligible form.

"Beverly of Graustark," by George Barr
McCutcheon, author of "Graustark," "The

Christmas gifts are beginning to mpve.
The packages that are sent out now ore
Intended for long dlstancea and will reach
their destinations on time. There is not
so much certainty about the packages
which have a long journey to make and
which are started on the trip later than
Tuesday. They may reach their destination
on time and they may not. Every precau
tion, however, will be taken by the local
express companies to handle holiday pack
ages as speedily as possible.
All the companies In the city are supplied
with heavy trunks. Into which are packed
goods thst are intended for long dlstancea.
These trunks will hold about 100 ordinary
packages. Arrangements also sre being
nade to pack some of these goods in
wooden boxes. The American Express
company haa ordered a number of these
boxes.
Last year there were not enough trunks
to take care of the Christmas shipments
and aome boxes had to be used. This
yesr the number will be Increased and
they will be ordered ahead of time.
"We have been sending out circulars
this year urging people to get their Christ
mas packages In on time," sold the agant
of the American Express company. "By
the end of the week we will be flooded,
and while the force la doubled. It Is Im
possible to handle packages as expedi
tiously aa in the early part of the season.
I don't know, of course, what result the
circulars will have. It Is our first experi
ment of this kind. We also have a
gummed slip which we furnish patrons, on
which is printed, 'Do not open until Christ
mas.' Attention Is called to this In the
circular.
Heavy Volatile Causes Delay.
"Ordinarily a holiday package rets to
Its destination about as soon as a letter
would travel the same distance, but owing
to the volume of business at this season
It Is Impossible and we must have more
time. We have extra clerks to check up
and later in the week they will be flooded
with matter. Of course, we check tip all
we can until train time, and the rest have
to go over until the next day.
"We always double our force at this sea
son, and we keep the force on for a week
after Christmas to take care of the flood
of late packages that keep coming In.
Unless packages are sent early they cannot
possibly reach their destination until It Is
too late for Christmas, and some of them
do not reach us until the first of the year.
It Is, of course, the same with packages
sent by tardy people the other x way.
Last year we had five wagons backed up to
the depot Christmas eve so that the
packages could be delivered as fast as the
wagons were loaded up without rehandllng.
We had men who are familiar with the
city, but It was no uncommon thing to find
the people away for the evening, and the
packages had to hold over. This Is one of
the faults of sending holiday goods at the
last minute.
"People should be careful to put the
name of the shipper as well as the address
on the package, as It frequently happens
that the person the gift is for has .moved
out of the city. If we have the shipper's
address we can return the package. It
ought not to be necessary to cull attention
to the Importance of packing fragile pack
ages so that they will not get broken In
ordinary handling, but some people are
careless In this respect. They seem to
think all that Is necessary is to put the
address on. By packing goods at the
office we prevent a great deal of loss from
this source. Then, too, In piling up the
packages In the car the bottom packages
are apt to be crushed by the weight of
those on top."
At Uie Adams, United States, Paclflo and
the Wella-Fargo offices practically the same
precautions were offered regarding the
shipment of holiday packages. All the
offices are looking for a larger business
than last year, which was practically a
record-breaker.
Blaejay Bully of Winter Birds.
Among the birds that may be your
Christmas guests, If you live in the vicin
ity of New York, are the chickadee, nut
hatch, both white and red breasted; tufted
titmouse, golden crowned knight, Juneo,
white throated sparrow, brown creeper,
tree sparrow, winter wren, downy wood
pecker and the bluejay. Of these the chick
adee, downy woodpecker and nuthatch are
the most confiding, while the bluejay and
usually the white throated sparrow are
the most suspicious. Both chickadeea and
nuthatches, with a little coaxing, will take
food from one's hand.
It will not take long for the observer to
discover that the bluejay, with is fascinat
ing briskness, is the bully of the birds.
When he wants to eat, all others must
or do get themselves out of the way. Few
are bold enough to contest hi- absolute
right-of-way. Almost as soon as he comes
within hearing the other birds leave, and
usually do not return until he Is well out
of the way. Chickadees and nuthatches
will feed together In perfect harmony, with
occasionally a downy woodpecker to keep
them company. One soon learns to recog
nise different birds, and then It Is that
we realize' how strong Is the individuality,
even of the smallest of them. Country

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
Two former members, Mrs. Wegla Hope
Hall Tracy and Mrs. Emma Cox. wrrt
elected honorary members of the Woman's
club at Monday afternoon's meeting. Two
new members were reported as having
qualified since the last meeting and two
new names were proposed for membership.
A batch of announcements were made,
among them the annual request that the
women do their Christmas shopping early
enough to avoid overtaxing the clerks and
delivery men the day before Chrtstmss.
The remainder of the time was occupied
with a parliamentary tangle over the New
Year's program and reception. The recep
tion has been annually scheduled on the
calendar, but frequently omitted by vote of
the club. This year the musical depart
ment will present its program the evening
of January S. and a reception will follow,
and some difference of opinion was ex
pressed as to whether guests should be ad
"mltted" to the program without punching
the tickets, but it was finally decided that
each member might bring an escort and
such guests as happened to be In her home
at the time, provided she notified the liuu.M
and home committee in time. Mrs. N. M.
Bushnell of Lincoln, president of the Ne
braska Federation, will be Invited to b
the guest of the club on that occasion.
The program of the afternoon was pre
sented by the department of ethioa and
philosophy, Miss Josephine McHugh, leader.
Two vocal selections by Miss Alice Few
cett were followed by two papers on "The
Greek Drama." Miss McHugh read a paper
by Miss Florence McHugh on "The Struc
ture of the Greek Drama," In which she
pictured its combination of debate, music,
poetry and the dance, together with some
thing of their setting, In a manner ulto
gether Instructive and entertaining. "The
Ethics of the Greek Drama" was pre
sented by Mr. Charles EJgutter. He said:
It Is a law of civilisation that where tiio
struggles are fiercest and all that in dear
and moot vital at stake, such Is tho in
vlgoratlon that not the pnsHlon only, but

danger Is passed, such is tlie energy and

"No roan," said the alderman, "can

tor?" " Perfectly right," said he, " what
suits your stomach may not fit mine,
and yet nine men out of ten are pre
sumptuous enough to tell you what
vou ought to eat." "Yes," said I,
they don't appreciate that there is
just as great a difference between two
men's stomachs as there is between
their brains. Overwork some men's
stomachs and they will easily respond
to the task, just as some men's brains
can take care of endless details, but the
majority will break down with the
overload." . "Indigestion," said the
doctor, "is not a disease but, an admo
nitionit is the red light that signifies
danger. It is the language of the
stomach to prepare for serious trouble
if allowed to persist. Bitters and alco
holic medicines are poor means for
stimulating the stomach to perform a
larger share of work than it ought.

entirely of vegetable ingredients like
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets that will
not purge, but act gently on the liver,
stomach and bowels. To my mind
the main dependence for curing per
manently the indigestion which has
become chronic the ' heart-burn,' the
sour eructations, the worst cases of
dyspepsia is that alterative extract
made from medicinal herbs that Doctor
Pierce calls his 'Golden Medical Dis
covery,' for it contains no alcohol to
over-stimulate the stomach, but it sim
ply goes to work in the right way
correcting the liver, purifying the blood
and assimilating the food so that the
stomach takes up it labors with activ
ity and refreshed powers. It fills the
arteries with the pure, rich, red blood
of health. It tears down, and carries
off old, inert and half-dead tissues and
replaces them by new. It builds firm,
healthy flesh. It make the muscles
strong and elastio and steadies and
tones the nerves. It cures debility and
weakness of everv description.

ROMANCE PART OF INTERESTING STORY
Margraretta Behrens Sent Sweetheart
to War to Prove Love and Both
Were Lost from Knowl
edge of Friends.
"In what corner of this wide, wide world
is Margaret Behrens, who worked from
1882 to 1868 as a domestic in the homes of
Mr. Balla and others In the city of Balti
more?" asked Attorney Malcolm V. Tyson
of Baltimore Monday afternoon.
Mr. Tyson Is the administrator of an
estate and says that a neat little fortune
has been left to Margaretta Behrens or
her heirs. The Baltimore attorney did not
care to state ust what the nature of the
estate Is, who bequeathed It or the amount,
but said he Is making eviry possible effort
to locate the legatees.
But ' little Is known of Margaretta
Behrens after the year 1868, when she left
the west, presumably Chicago. She lived
In Baltimore from 1S62 until 1868 and was
a poor but honest working girl from Ger
many. She made favorable Impressions
wherever sjie- went and was of a kindly
disposition.
From Investigations made by Attorney
Tyson he found that Miss Behren's life In
Baltimore was not without its dramatic
side. She had a lover who was a big
German butcher, with a heart as true aa
steel and a right arm that would strike
out for the girl he loved. He loved the
girl with all the fervor of his Teutonlo
nature. One day he thought the time had
come to claim the heart of the rosy-thetkel
little housemaid he had been watting on.
Sends Her Lover to War.
He asked Miss Betirens what he could
do to prove his love and constancy for her.
The lovers were walking along the docks
at the time on a moonlight evening In May.
There was not a tremor in Rudolph's voice
as he aaked the question that meant nearly
as much as life itself to him. The girl
faltered for a moment and then replied:
"Go and fight for your adopted country
and then return and I will believe that
your love for me Is as true as the north
tar."

TAKEN FROM NATURE.
From the pure fountain of nature
flows the stream of energy and health,
which renews and invigorates onr
race. Not only do we get inspira
tion from nature, bnt health as well.
To live in the open, in the sunshine, in
the fields or woods, drinking pure air
into the longs, is best for those who
have the opportunity. For people who
are run down, nervous, snffering from
occasional indigestion or dyspepsia,
headaches, night-sweats, whose machin
ery has become worn, it becomes nec
essary to turn to some tonic or strength
ener which will help them get on their
feet. For centuries it lias neen xnown
that nature's most valuable health-
giving agents are root, herbs, barks
and berries, and some forty years
ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.,
found a combination of roots, herbs
and barks taken from the fields and
woods and made into an alterative
extract, that produced results in the
system which were aausiactory in
cases of blood disorder and stomach
trouble. This concentrated extract of
nature's vitality purifies the blood by
putting the stomach into healthy con
dition, helping the assimilation of food
which feeds the blood, and putting the
liver into activity. Nervousness and
sleeplessness are usually due to the fact
that the nerves are not fed on properly
nourished blood. Dr. fierce s uoiden
Medical Discovery makes pure, rich
blood, and thereby all the organs of
the body are run smoothly. You feel
strong and strenuous, and are good for
a whole lot of physical or mental work.
Best ot all, me srrengin ana increase in
vitality and health are lasting.

time and Rudolph enlisted. 1 He wrote back
several times to Miss Behrens, but at the
end ot the war did not return to claim his
bride. Miss Behrens saw other sweetheart
return, but looked in vain for hers. She
made an Investigation, but failed to find
any record of Rudolph having been killed,
In action. She was . yet - constant and
waited tn Baltimore until 1888, walt.ng and
hoping that Rudolph would 'yet retipro.
At last she concluded he had been num
bered with the "unknown dead." She be
lieved he had been constunt and had kept
his promise as far as he hod been able.
Such is said to be the life story of Mar

other western cities.
Twenty-Eight Ponnd Lxbster.
One of the largest lobsters - ever caught
in the' Penobscot or even on the Main
coast was captured by Captain John C.
Condon of Belfast. It attracted consider
able attention and was on exhibition for
a long time. The big shellfish thus far
has been equalled by none along this
coast.
The lobster was caught In one of those
half hoop traps such as were often used
by fishermen In times gone by, but which
are seldom seen now. The fishermen took
a barrel hoop of Iron fastened to a rope
and having a net on the bottom, much
like a huge dlpnet, and lowered it into
the water with the bait attached in the
middle. In order to catch the fish in this
it was necessary to make frequent visit
to the trap.
The lobster must have been very old,
for when he was taken from the water
he was well covered with barnacle and
was eighty-nine Inches In length, while hi
weight was twenty-eight pounds. Captain
Condon hud long been a fisherman, but had
never before secured a. fish of this size.
