Burdette Is noted as a humorist but there Is nothing but common dense Id tbe following suggestion be gives to young men starting In business life: , "You can make yourself look an Inch tsller by a neat, well flttlog dress. You can actually ' inake yourself taller by an erect, manly carriage. Slovenliness Is contagious. It communicates Itself from tbe dress to tbe character. The boy who slouches and slumps In figure and gait Is dangerously ^pt to slnmp mor ally. The dust and grime on yonr clothes Is liable to get Into your brain. The dirt under your floger nails is likely to work jDto you> thoughts. Grease spots down tbe front oi v your co?t will destroy self-respect almost as qnlckly as the habit of lying. Tidiness is one of the cheapest luxuries in tbe world. It Is also one of tbe most comfortable. When you know that you are Just right?"perfectly correct"?from hat to shoe tie. the Kin* of Erie land oouldn'l stare you out oI countenance; be con Idn't embarrass you, and be wouldn't II be could." , ? . i THE LARGEST SHIPMENT. &> 7 : Booker A Wltten Tobacco VomIkd. meat Lbjr All Others In the Snade.

I I Blonde aud Brunette. i The New York American has been holding 1 a popular symposium on the relative charms of the blonde and the brunette. 1 Now, ofooarse, the voices are as varied as . the types of beauty, and depend altogether on the ooior of the eyes and hair of the ascendant 1 goddess, who happens to reign over their life i and destiny, 4 But the sentiment In Georgia, to Judge from the letters forwarded from this slate, 1 appears to be In lavor of blue eyes and golden t hair. For Instance: "I'm tor the large blonde. If the renders of Tbe American could see the blondes such as we have here in Georgia and Tennessee they ( would all say as I do. As a rule, they are i very high-spirited, very pleaslDg and bright 1 and so very lovely altogether. Again, I'm for the ISO-pound blonde. "ALFRED O. HOLMES. } "Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13."

For this purpose select a nlcekind,amiable, industrious, generous man. Prepare him by having bim go through a long engagement, wblcb effectually renders bim easy to handle. Gently detach bim from all of bis old friends and acquaintances and remove any habits he may have. He is then ready to can, preserve or muse jhoj as you cnooae. t To can, merely deprive him of his latchkey and throw a handful of mother-in-law In the base. Men corked op like thin have been t known to. keep for years without epolllne, though when they are opened up If kept too long, they are apt to be sour. To make jam. prepare as before, but shred all his finer leellngs by nagging and pound them Into a, pulp by complaints. To preserve a husband, 1 put as mueh love Into the heart as it will hold, add an ocean of'sympathy, a world of G tenderness, a pound of forbearance, a dram of ( patience and drop btin into it until be Is c thorougbly coated over with sugar.

People Bay that I looli odd" with almost snow white hair and yonder how it oaroe to be thus to one oo roung. Eight years ago on the 39th of this very nonth I stood at the altar with Laura 3oinstock. I was a telegraph operator and was sta iloned at Wayburg, a station 20 miles from Stockton and at the terminus of the then D. G. and C. R. railway. Returning from our honeymoon, I left ny wife in Stookton and proceeded to iVayburg, Intending to remain at my old post until relieved, which I thought would 3e in a few days, as my offered resignation iad been acoepted at headquarters. The engineer on the "up" train was" Mark Moore, a rather handsome young fellow, vho had been my rival for the hand of the voman I called my wife. When the train stopped at Moreland's, I dighted from the passenger ooach and talked forward to the engine. Mark was jusily engaged oiling the maohinery. "How are you, Morgan?" he said as he sspied me and held out his hand. Eia lisappointment seemed to have left him, ind he was very pleasant. "Going to Wayburg?" "Yes." "Just get In with me, then," he said. I replied that I would do so, and when She train moved away I was occupying a leat in the engine, ehatting with the engineer. "One hardly notioea the aaoent, but the 3osc?ot la tm entirely different thing. I was uxmsi^g, .morgan, wane a wjrriuio thing it would be if an engine with full power on were to beoome unmanageable at Ihe top of the grade and dash away. "And if a man bent on revenge were to place a fellow creature bound on the engine, what a terrible death he would hasten to with almost lightning rapidity I" The following night was dark and tempestuous, and I alone oocupied the station, watching the little maohine before me. That day a new engine had arrived, and Mark Moore bad been put in charge if it. From 9 o'clock in the afternoon to i I saw him moving about the engina Until 10 I watched the little maohine. Then Mark opened the door and stepped into the small apartment. "Are you receiving a dispatch, Morgan?" he asked. "No, Mark. Why do you ask?" "Because if you are not I wish you would leave the cliokew a bit and come rod look at my Red Bird by lantern light [ am going to run down grade to Chalmers, reverse the engine and run back, rbe train will not be due here for an T /?on r?rt Phalmnrfl nnr? iUUI., UUU JL VOi4 W *w tarn within 20 minutes." We walked into the great temporary ihed where the new and beautiful engine itood, ready to run off at the oommand of its master. "I dare not be bo long absent from toy post at this hour, Mark." ' "Pooh, man, there's no danger. Ton must go with me." "Butj I cannot, Mark." He put his lantern on the ground and ihen sprang erect "You shall, Morg Gronoble?" he cried, ind before I could answer him he dashed ne to the earth and planted his knees on ny breast. "Not a ^yord out of you, Morg," he said lercely, producing a rope. "I'll tell you what I'm going .to do. Tou know we were discussing the consequences attendng the rush of a maddened engine down ;he grade. I reckon I won't go to Chalners, but will send you dear to the bottom of the grade." "Mark Moore, you are mad," I said. "Would you murder me in cold blood and jthers who are ooming up on the 11:10 passenger?" f ."Yes," he said ooldly. I might have resisted, but reslstanoe would have availed me nothing, for I was constitutionally weak, while he was a ion. , "There I" he said at last as he dosed the furnace door. "Everything is ready for pour ride. You'll go right through Stock;on, but I reckon you won't have time to itop to speak to loving Laura. Goodby, tforg. Write when you get to the loot or ihe grade." The engine was moving, and he leaped )?f. "May heaven have mercy on your soul, Mark Moore I" I shouted after him. The grade between Wayburg and Chalnera was quite steep, and before I reached ;h? little town the speed of the Bed Bird ind its tender seemed to rival that of the olograph. The towns with their glimmering lights appeared and were gone in a flash. The manner in whioh I was bound permitted me to look out of the window. 1 did so, and Stockton, the home of my vlfe, greeted me with its many lights. Ahead I saw many people waiting for he 11:10 passenger. The next moment I was carried past ihem. I saw their astonished faces and heard a jiercing shriek. ' I recognized the voice as my wife's. There was one hope for me?just one. Pfirhana t.ha onarator at Stockton had elegraphed down the grade, and. thus varned, the coming train would switch aid save its passengers from death. Looking out, I saw far ahead the glarng headlight of the southern train. To me it looked as though it stood on 7 track. Evidently the train had not jeen warned. Suddenly I heard a man shout, "Stand jack!" and then, crash I all was darkl "Is ho Injured muohf" somebody asked. Sympathizing facss bent over me, and a rargeon was examining my wounds. "The ties stopped the engine," said the mrgeon. "We received a telegram from Stockton Informing us that the new engine waB rushing down the grade. The louthern train was switched off upon its irrival here, and we set to work to pile nnumerable ties on the track, which, ibank heaven, chedked your mad career." "Telegraph to Stockton," I said, "to my tfife." It seemed as though every bone In my >ody was broken, and I cannot tell how I iver survived through the prostration that followed. But I did, to find my hair rivaling the ipotless purity of the snow and crow'a feet >n my youthful forehead. My rival was never tried, for the third lay following his arrest he was conveyed; a an asylum, a hopeless maniac.?-Exthange. In Disgrace.

Why ?why, on my key ring, of course* the little silver one you gave me that time; don't you remember, dear?" "Certainly?on the keyring."

"George, I have two keys to that trnnk." "Well, you're a wise little woman," in tones of pride from the young husband, while the aunts and cousins say, "She ha* another key." "But they were both on the same key ring," oontlnues the bride, and the general anxiety is redoubled.

TOILET SUGGESTIONS. Uinta From a Beauty Doctor That Will Improve Poor Complexion*. Freckles are due to an excess of coloring matter deposited In the second layer of the skin underneath the cuticle. They are caused by an excess of iron in the blood. If they are not of very dark color, they can be bleaohed out, but If they are of the pronounced brown species, their removal will consist In destroying the outer layers of the skin.
