"It ls but just to write about my
daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com

feeling, and friends said she would not
live over three months. She had a bad
Cough
and nothing seemed to do her any good.
I happened to read about Hood's Sarsapa

Miss Perkins was busy behind the
jounter oro morning, arranging a
xeshly ont supply of flowers, when two
roang ladies arrived at the door at
Le same instant, and carno bustling
n together.
"Why, good morning, Miss Clem
tnp," exclaimed Miss Perkins, looking
ip in surprise. "Good morning, Miss
Siwell ; aren't you chicks ont a little
?arly this morning?"
"Ob, not at all," replied Miss Ci em
ms with a laugh, "you know we're
?arly birds at our house ; I've been to
narket already."
"Well, dear me!" exclaimed Miss
51 well, who was a rather languid cr-sa
ure, "Pm eure you are" an early oro.
sow nothing in the world would ti sm .1
y get me out this early, but I have a
.erv important pieoe of new?, and I
lould hardly wait to get down town to
ell it!"
Miss Elwell stopped and looked at
disa Olemans to see that she was duly
inpressed, while Miss Perkins went on
irranging her flowers.
"Well, nowthat you are here," oaid
diss Clemans, "let's have the news.
.Yhat is the wonderful pieoe of infor
nation that has gotten Miss Lazybones
mt of bed before 10 o'clock?"'
"I never was more surprised in my
ife," said Miss Elwell, "and I know
everybody will be completely upset
>ver it. Can't yon guess what it is?"
"Why, of course I can't! How pro
voking you are! Without a hint of
ny kind except that it's the most sur
mising thing that ever happened !"
Miss Elwell seemed to enjoy her
ri end's curiosity. Finally Miss Clem
ns said :
"The most suprising thing that ever
?appened? Ton must be going to get
carried !"
"Now 6ee here, girls," exclaimed
liss Perkins from behind ihe counter,
'that's the way young ladies talk. I
lelisve in the comio papers, but it
sn't the kind of wit that is considered
.ood form in good sooiety ; so Bose,
f you have any news to tell, let us
lave it, and Blanche, stop your chaf
mg.
The girls laughed, and Miss Elwell
: aid : /
"Miss Perkins's curiosity is getting
.roused, so I won't keep you in ans
?ense. Mabel's engagement is
-roken !"
"What I !" oried both her listeners
tl once. ' ?Mabel Biohey ?"
"Um-umpb," said Mies Elwell? nod-,
:ling her head in affirmation.
"Ob, you're joking," said Miss
[siemans, "she and Harry were just
devoted to each other. Why, nothing
: ould ever come between them. Mabel
told me so."
"But something did, just the same, " j
leplied the bearer of news, "and that
;om?thing was Mi* Marguerita Daisy
>c?Tones of New fork."

about it all OTC
have warned them about taiam^xo
much-not that it would have done
any good, but it might have eased my
conscience a little."
AB she ?ipoke a carriage drove up to
the door, and Harry Martin sprang to
the pavement and came in.
"Good morning, Miss Perkins," he
said in his brisk, whole souled man
ner. "Some roses this morning? Ah,
those aro beauties; how many have
you? Three dozen, only? Well, I
want them all. Here's my card, which
you wi ll drop in the box, and send
them lo-"
And he wrote an address on a tag
lying on the counter.
"This address. I've left mother in
the carriage and she's afraid of the
horse, so Til hurry out. Good-morn
ing, Miss Perkins."
And Mr. Martin was out and away
beTore Miss Perkins had hardly recov
ered her breath.
She looked at the address he had
left:
"Miss De Jones, Liberty House,
City."
And then Miss Perkins lost her tem
per.
"Why, the impudent puppy !" she
cried. "If he thinks I'm going to send
those flowers to that-creature, he's
mistaken I He's crazy, he is. I won
der if his mother knows?"
And then out of pure vexation she
?at down in a back room and had a
good cry.
A few moments later she came out
and calmly put the roses in a box,
dropped Mr. Martin's card among
them, tore into little bits the tag he
had addressed, and with a firm hand
wrote a new one, which she placed on
the box ; then put it with a half dozen
smaller packages, which Nero, the
factotum of her establishment, would
deliver. Then Miss Perkins regained
her habitual smile and gentle self
possession, and went about humming
little scatohes of happy songs and
seemed as one conscious of having
done a good deed.
Harry Martin was not a happy man.
Indeed he Ltd been miserable for
thirty-six ho- s, for he waB, or had
been, deeply n love with Mabel
Biohey, and ii ality had never been
introduced to . golden-haired girl
with the three tioned name, until
since the quarr ith his sweetheart.
But since that t test nous interview,
he had sought, an easily obtained an
introduction, and had decided to send
her roses for the decoration of the
table at the supper that was Daking
several Westfield sweethearts jealous
and unhappy. i
And Mabol Richey was not e happy
woman. She had wept all night after
the quarrel and gotten up the next
morning firmly resolved to die rather
than show any signs of weakening.
And she had gotten through the pre
ceding day fairly well ; the only times
that she manifested any unusual feel
ing being when the ?am? of Mils
time heTsTiraanger o?
off to sea. Again, ho frequently baa
his traps carried oat to sea and lost in
; the strong undertow. These traps are
made of two thick hoops, of willow
joined by olosely set ribs of lath, and
within them is hung a pieoe of old fish
or meat ; the older the better, for the
lobster has a strong ?cent, and a stone
is placed on the bottom of the tr?p to
act as a sinker, while a lon ' line ex
tends from the trap to the surface of
the water, and to this line a buoy, or
marker, is fastened.
At either end of the trap a purse net
is placed over the willow hoops, and,
while it allows the lobster entrance, it
successfully bars bis exit. The fisher
men work in pairs and set from 103
to 250 traps each day, and their pay
at this season of the year will average
850 or $60 a week.
One man who followed lobster fisti
ng for a living owns several pretty
cottages and lives in a fine house of
I his own on the shores of .Boston Bay.
I But, like the waters about New Tork,
I iBoston Bay has long been an un prolific
source for lobsters. A greater part of
the supply for the New York* markets
comes through Boston and reaches
there by steamers from Fortland, Me.,
and from Nova Scotia or Newfound
land.
As soon as they reach the docks they
are hurried into lobster houses, for if
a live lobster is left out in the frosty
' air he will shed his claws as fast as a
tree will shed its leaves on the ap
proach of winter.
Within these houses are great steam
tanks, and while the liveliest of the
crustaceans are placed in floating
Hoses out in the river, those that move
slowly are loaded into iron orates and
plunged into the steam tanks, whence
they emerge in the courso of twenty
minutes as red-well, as red as a boiled
lobster.-New York Presa. ?
A Strange ?priug.
A mile and a half from Franks, In
dian Territory, a very large spring of
olear, sparkling water bubbles up
through the gravel at the foot of Bog
gie Mountain, tumbles swiftly down
the hills over numerous falls and runs
a big flouring mill at Franks for the
Hon. B. F. Byrd. In the water is a
substance that attiiohes itself to the j
buckets of a wheel, forming a hard,
smooth st ono about them that has to
be broken off every eix weeks with a
hammer. Wood or bone thrown into
the water is petrified in a very short
time, and many rare and curious for-1
mations are to be seen in and about !
the stream. Near the mill the roots
of a large fallen tree, over but not in
the oreek, are all tamed into stone. -

Oh hand ot God! Oh lamp i

Though weak and tossed, und ill at ease
Amid the roar of smiting seas
The ship's convulsive roll

The ocean sings his solemn psalms;

-Boston Transorlpt,
Droye the Steer.
Squire Vogelsang, of Kelso Town-;
ship, Indiana, heard a onxions case,
which maj become as noted as that ol
the Iowa oalf. John Kegler, who re;
sin es at New Alsace, bet Charles Horn-;
beck, of Yorkville, that he could har?
ness an unbroken steer to tho latter's
buggy and drive it from New Alsace
to Yorkviile, two miles. If Kegler
won he got the buggy ; if not, tho
steer went to Hornbeok.
The trial came off the next after
no m. The roadway from New Alsace
to Yorkvillo was lined with men, wo-i
men, children and an army of dogs.
Kegler brought out his steer, a little
runt, thin and wiry, and so viciously
angry that it required a dozen men tx
put on the harness. Hornbeok rode a
big gelding. A bridle was put on the
steer, and the bit made it furious.
When it started the crowd yelled.
The steer didn't know where the win-'
ning wire was, but it went the open
way toward Yorkville. The sight as
the steer went by, with bulging eyes
and tail sticking straight out, while
all the dogs joined in the raoe, yelp-,
ing at every jump, was a sight to be
remembered. The women waved their
shawls and capes, and even the chil
dren took part in the racket. York-,
ville was soon in sight. Everybody
followed and the road was packed from
fence to fence. Then Hornbeok re
fused to pay the bet, but Kegler kept
the buggy.-New Hork Recorder.
Nye's Favorite Story.
Bill Nye's put story was the one as,
to how he was oharged $4 for a sand
wich in a village in New Jersey. He
told the man who sold it that it was a
high price for a sandwich, and said'
that he had frequently gotten a ten-,
course dinner for just making a speech
and finally asked the man why he
charged $i for a ham sandwich.
"Well, I'll tell you," said the sand
wich man, "the faot is, by gad, I need
the money."-Detroit Free Press,

211 West Cth St.: "I want to say,"
writes Harry, "ch ut for eight
months 1 have taken three Bi pans
Tabules a day, and have not been to
see a doctor onco since I com
menced to lake them. Before I
would have to have a big lube pat
down roy throat and have my

what they call it) three t'.mes every
week by a doctor that charged me
60 cents for every time. Of coarse
that always gavo me roi io i', bat-it
always came back again, andi can
tell yon it was no fan to be pumped
oat about every two days. The
doctor said I had catarrh of the
stomach; hat whatever it was it
don't bother me now, bat I still take
ono of Bi pans after each meal, as X
am afraid to quit. I am a barber,
and for four years I was troubled,
so that I used to lose about three
days oat of every month. 1 wish
you would have your Tabnljes kept

first called to your remedy by asking
