Lewis. 1 THAT Mr. Bowser had something on his mind when he came home the other evening was clear as day to Mrs. Bowser, but she followed out her usual plan of awaiting developments, and it was half an hour after dinner before she got tb.e news. He had been hitching around for that length of time in an uneasy way, when he looked up in a half ashamed manner and inquired: "Did you ever take particular notice of the face of an Egyptian?" "Why. I don't remember to have j ever seen one of that race." she replied. "I know They are dark skinned, however." "Yes, they are dark skinned, but what I meant was that r.o Egyptian ever shows wrinkles on his face even _ r*,-=r-fV IA ! HE PROCEEDED TO HUB HIS WK INKLES I OVEK WITH THE BALM. ' when he gets to be ninety years old. There was one in the office today who was eighty-seven, and he had the fresh, youtmui race or a young uiau ui iweuty-five." "And how do you account for it?" asked Mrs. Bowser, who was wondering what gum game that Egyptian was up to. "Well, they hare a certain balm which they rub on their faces. It is prepared by only one person in Egypt, and the secret is bo zealously guarded i that 110 one has beeu able to discover it. Offers of $100,000 have been made i from America, England and France, j but without avail. One box of this balm will take every wrinkle off the face." "And this Egyptian caller at your office had a few boxes with him?" "Yes, half a dozeu." "And he offered to sell you one for ; $10?" ! "He only wanted $5. The usual price Is $25. but he wanted me to try it and give him the use of my name." "And yon were silly enough to in' / Hfply 1,1T \ fr oOau'.r 1 ruf$a 1 .18 c "*BtJT WHAT AILS YOUR FACE PAINTED vest $5 in a box of what will probably I turn out to be only scented lard!

I am not buying scented lard at $20 per pound, and I am not on my way to the lunatic asylum." "But you bought a box of the stuff T* "Suppose I did?" "And you have no earthly use for it, unless you use it for corn salve. That Egyptian must have chuckle clear down to his boots as he went out * ith your money. I don't believe a word of his yarn, I never heard of any such balm, and I don't believe there is any. Even if the stuff would do all he claimed for it. what did you want it for?" Mr. Bowser swallowed the lump in liis throat and glared for a minute. Then he took a tin box from his pocket and replied: "There is the 'stuff.' as you call it. and perhaps your nose will detect the laid in it. As to what I want to use it for. I want to take these wrinkK-s off my face. I've got 30.000 where I needn't have had a single one if you had been the right sort of wife.

I don't care to be pointed out as a man 2'JO years old." ' "Every man of your age has wrinkles. and few are ashamed of them.. Taking the wrinkles oft' doesn't make you any younger. I should rub some; thing on my knees instead of my face." ! "Woman, would you insult me?" I shouted Mr. Bowser as ho stood up i and gestured until he sea.red the cat I under the piano. "It is all envy and ! spite cn your part. You are afraid I i will look younger than you do. When ! my knees need rubbing. I wiil let your j family know. By thunder, but I will I not allow any human being to bilk to me as yon haver' Mrs. Bowser realized that she had gone too far, and she had nothing further to say. llalf an hour later she went up to her room, leaving Mr. Bowser with his paper, lie waited a few minutes to see if she would reappear and then decided to begin operations. Removing his coat and waistcoat, he stood in front of the mantel glass and proceeded to rub his wrinkles over with the balm. "Cue application." he rend from the box. "will make a wonderful improvement. while the second will almost transform the face. Do not be afraid to use a liberal quantity, and the rubbing should be thoroughly done." In this case it was thoroughly done. Mr. Bowser had rubbed away for ten minutes and he was flattering himself that as many as fifty wrinkles had been reduced to half their original size when the tears suddenly shirred to his eyes, and he began to feel a smarting sensation in his chocks. The Egyptian hadn't said that tears and smarts were a necessary part of the programme, but they were taken to be for the next five minutes. Then the flush on Mr. . Bowser's face deepened to lobster red, the tears came as fast as if his brother-in-law wore dead, and he stopped rubbing. This didn't stop the smarting, however, and it was no better when the balm had been washed off with soup and hot water. There was something wrong with that Egyptian balm or else Mr. Bowser had been just on the point of developing some cutaneous disease. He hated to give up and acknowledge It, but at the end of another fifteen minutes he put on his hat and overcoat and startj ed for the drug store. As he entered I the place the druggist stared at him ! and exclaimed: "By gum. Bowser, but have you had a gas explosion at your house?" "There has been no gas explosion," ! was the answer. "But what ails your face? It looks ! as if you had painted it red." "I?I had a pimple on my cheek, and I rubbed a little grease on." * "I should say you had nibbed a little grease on! You just plastered it on fewkeeps. Was it lard or butter?" r=3SlEa % . J ? IT LOOKS AS IF YOU HAD IT RED." "I believe they call it Egyptian i balm." "Ah. I see! Yon were trying to rub off the wrinkles. I've heard of that balm before. You'll have to use sweet oil liberally, and you'll have a sort of a headlight on you for three or four days. Mrs. Bowser will appreciate the joke. I guess." "There is no ioke." renlied Mr. Bow ser, with great stiffness. "Nor "No. sir, and if there was it is your business to sell drugs and let jokes alone. Good night, sir!" lie went home and spent a quarter of an hour rubbing sweet oil into his face and then went upstairs to go to bod. Mrs. Bowser was still up. The eat was also there. There was a painful silence of about two minutes, and 1 then Mrs. Bowser observed: "We hat, sweet oil in the house. If I you should want limewator or borax, i you will find it in the cuplxmrd. Can ! you see that any of the wrinkles have ! disappeared?" But Mr. Ik>wser turned his X my | face away from her and never even | grunted in answer. He knew that it ; was the twenty-second conspiracy on ! her part to assassinate him, and he j would settie things on the morrow. M. QUAD. VWXM^iniiKWPWMiBriaHf \ IS HMtt Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription stands alone, 5ts the one anil only remedy for leucorrhea, female weakness, prolaosuSs or falling of the womb, so absolutely specific and sure in curing these common ailments of women, as to warrant its makers in offering to pay, as they hereby do, the sum of ?500 reward for a case of the above maladies which they car. not cure. This is a remarkable offer. No ether medicine for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments is backed by such a remarkable guarantee. No other medicine for woman's ills is possessed cf the unparalleled curative properties that would warrant its makers m publishing such ar. offer; no other remedy lias such a record of a third of a nt Mirps nn which to base snch k remarkable offer. Miss Emma Welter, -who is Secretary ol the Young People's Christian Association, at i8iS Madison Avenue. New York City, cays : "Your 'Favorite Prescription' is a boon to sick and tired women, for it cures them when other medicines fail. I know whereof I speak, for I have had experience with it. For fourteen rr.ontha i had constant lieadaches: seemed too weak to perform my daily duties, ami when the day was over I was too tired to sleep well. I suffered from nervousness and indigestion, and everything I ate distressed me. Doctored with different physicians but received no relief. After reading one of your books I decided to give your ' Favorite Prescription ' a trial. Am very glad I did. for I found it was just what I wanted. I commenced to improve at once and kept getting belter nntil. after seven weeks. I was entirety aired. 1 have remained in perfect health ever since, and remain a firm friend of your ' Favorite Prcsaiptioc.' " The dealer who offer9 a substitute for "Favorite Prescription" is only seeking to make the little more profit afforded by a less meritorious medicine. His profit is your loss. Therefore, turn your back on liim as unworthy of your patronage. If constipated use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They cure constipation, biliousness ar.d sick headache.

Gainesville, Ga., June 1?Just after the noon bour ibe cirv waw struck by a terrific tornado, killing p'cbabiy one hundred persons, unroofing the city hotels and other large buildings and destroying the Gainesville Cotton Mills. The greatest loss cf life is reported ip the destruction of tbe cotton mills, where about eighty persons are reported killed and scores injured. Eighteen per- ' I sons were killed in the city near the centre of towD, and the railroad station, where four large stores were blown down. The storm had driven many persons into the stores for refuge and they were probably all killed. There were five hundred persons at work in the cotton mill when the tornado struck it.

O'cir Free School System. There Hie some who do not believe our free f"bool system is a success. One point is perfectly clejr Our educational sjetorn seem a to be educating ^jeu and women away from tbe dignity of labor. We are producing un grmy of clerk?, typewriters, jtspiiiu;< politicians, etc, but nobody to plow and ha'row. >7jbody is willing to do the manual laoor, aud yet we know that after all an immense amoum- vi uiauuai wurh luusi ue don?. Now, if we add to this army another army of skilled artisans in biic&-b*ac making, if we now introduce everywhere an elaborate system of making paper tl >wer?, tatting, crocheting and ornaments in wocd and iron, who is going to make the gardens and til] the lields and wieid the hammer and plant? Iu this, our progressive age, the country seems to be going theory mad. We are going to educate, educate and iraio.

I have thoroughly cmviuced myself that Dr. Baker's Blood and Liver Cure is the finest medicine made for Indigestion and Constipation. (I have tried them all) and was cured by the use of this medicine, after all others had failed. I most cheerfully aDd unhesitatingly endorse it. Yours truly, H. N. Baker, Mayor. For sale at the Bazaar. The State Registers a Hick. Governor Ileyward, Attorney General Gunter, Internal ILvenue Collector Jenkins and the State Board of Dispensary Directors has held a conference in reference to seizures of h'quors. It often happens that when State Constables make seizures, the internal revenue officers swoop dowD upon them and oonfkcate the stuff because of some violation of tax laws. The State authotiiies naturally do not kke kindly to this proceeding and some correspondence has been had with iVInjor Jenkins about it. The dispensary people contended that as they had captured the stufi it, ought to belong to them, whether United States laws had been violated or not. No definite conclusion was reached about the matter, bat M-.j >r Jenkins showed every disposition to relieve the situation in so far as it was in hi3 power. Chairman Williams and Attorney General Gunter will go to Washington to consult with the Internal Revenue Commissioner about the situation. Tea Years ia Bed. R. A Gray, J.
