Tiff PRODIGAL BUTTERFLY. She Played Her Part to Good Purpose, as It Proved. By MARIE DEN SM ORE. i [Copyright, ino?, by Associated I tterarv Press.] At the age of twenty-nine Bessie | Pryor was forced to sit down and take stock of herself, her acquirements and j her future. The money her father bad i left her. which she had foolishly be-! Keved would last forever, was gone, j with the exception of a few hundred dollars. Siie had had a good time with it. As she looked back over recent years and considered how she had spent It she had to admit that she had had a very good time with it. First she hud had four years In the best college iu the country; she had had a year of foreign travel; she bad been omen about her own country: she had bad seasons iu the* mountains, seasons at the seashore, seasons in the city: she had heard the best music, seen the best plays and studied the best pic-j tures in the world. And. as for clothes, she had worn right and left the finest productions of the shops and experi enced modistes. Now all of this was at an cud sud denly. She had had a last interview wi.'h her father's old attorney, and ho had told her the tr?: i. She bad used up her means. The pasi summer had; written tiiiis to the story of her prodi gality. Only a few hundred remained, i What was sU,e to do? Of course there was Aunt Bess, for whom she b: ? been named -Auul Bess, under whose wi ig she bad gayly s plundered "her substance in riotous living. She knew very well why Aunt Bess j b id allowed hc-r to go on as she had. Site had expected her t" make a n??ta-i ble match. But f.tte would have it j otherwise. There had buou men enough, but only one for whom she had eared, and he would have none of her. And so she had come lo twenty-j nine and at the end of her fortune Without the slightest claim upon her' five loin. She could live with Aunt Bess. b'Jl ! Aunt Bess had girls of her own. who : were just coming out. one after the! other, at enormous expense. And j Uncle Ed wasn't the richest man inj the world. ?'I e:u:'t live on them." the girl tiiovgh:. "They'd take uie ill and do their best by me. but I'd be a burden. Alas and alack, if only I had learned some useful craft! And only $700 rc maini'i!;. It appears the only thing left for me is to be a vendor of old clothes. I've get enough of them, goodness knows:" She laughed a little tremulously. "But, dear me. 1 can't sell my clothes. I shall have to wear them. Well, it stands like this: i can't live with Aunt Rose?pride forbids." She checked off one finger. "1 can't teach; I can't sew; I can't?1 can't do anything." She dropped her head iu her hands an instant, then raised it resolutely, j "Bess Pryor, you're a chicken hearted I tiling! Put on your things and take! a walk. You will be crying next thing j you know." She sprang up, donned hat find furs' and a few moments k:tcr was leaving the bouse of Hie elderly friend with j whom she was stopping during this urgent busi'.iess quest of hers to the city. At the very first corner, as .'die was walking briskly along trying to got the better of her feelings, she met a | plainly dressed girl who was walking I just as briskly. "Why. Madge White!" Bess ex-| claimed, holding out her hand eagerly j "I haven't seen y. u in years. Where) Id the world do yon come from?" The other girl laughed. "Why, don't you fc.now? I'm here taking a course In-the business col lege. I'm learning shorthand a; d type writfne. Yon see"- ber voice dropped?

Bess mused. "Mudae." she spoke earnestly, "do you suppose 1 know c.iough lo manipulate the keys mid make those pothook things with a pencilV" "Do you? And you a college girl!, You certainly know enough. Bess. The trouble is you don't have to learn." "Ah, but I do." Bess said soberly. "Let me walk with you and tell you all alx>ut it." And as they went slowly up the! street together she told her stt>ry. She hud not cared inueli for Madge In col- j htge. for Madge was in a differeut set from her own. but she saw now that she had missed a good deal by uot j making friends with this very sensible.! capable, warm hearted girl. When at last the.v parted Madge b.tc! j helped her to make a plan for thttj present she was to enter tho business! ?school, board where Madge did and! share her room, and she was to tell the friend with wimm she v/:!s stay ing and Ann; i'-o-s and her father's old! attorney Unit she had started out to earn a living e r herself. At the end of six mouths of the h ?ni est mental work she had ever under taken Bess was declared a fin shed pu pil of more than ordinary excellence. r.::d a pcs-Uv: .;!;r::!:io:! far h.-r at Many of our citizens are drifting towards Bright's disease by neglect ing symptoms of kidney aud blad der trouble which Foley's Kidney Remedy will quickly cure.

Men past middle life have found comfort and relief in Foley's Kid-. ney Remedy, especially for enlarged ; a fair salary at a place where many other girls were at the same work as herself. Six months more passed. She and Madge While still clung together. Madge was her closest, almost her only friend, for the rest seemed to have forgotten ber or at least to overlook her. Even Aunt Bess seemed to have no time for her. She wrote that she was worn to a frazzle between Marjerie's debut and Elinor's engagement. Well, it did not matter, of course, but had it not been for Madge Bess could hard ly have endured her life sometimes. At th end of six months Homer Baird. her father's o'd attorney, sought her out and asked ber to accept a posi tion as his secretary. "Miss Tage is going to be married." he said. "She leaves the first of the month. She is an expert, and I gave her $15 a week, but you may have the same if you will come." . "Oh, Mr. Baird. how good you are!" Bess cried. Fifteen dollars a week meant as much to her as $1,000 had once unou a time. Two weeks later she was installed in his office and was making herself as Invaluable to him as bis former secre tary had d<>ne. Chid simply in blue, ber hair very smooth, not a ^leatn of gold, not a streak of ribbon about her. she sat each day before the massive office typewriter playing the keys with swift precision or making pothooks upon a pad at the old lawyer's dicta tion. One morning ns she sat thus at work alone the door opened and a man entered?a man whom she had not seen in two years, since that last evening she had danced with him and he had gone away without saying a single tiling she had expected him to say. She felt the color leaving her face, she felt a tremor seize ber, but she made a brave stand in spile of all. Her year as a. wage earner bad taught her luore self command than all the other years of ber life put together. "Miss Pryor!" be exclaimed, "in the mime of all that is wonderful, what are y n doing here?" Ii \ -is just like him to say thai, and she could uot help laughing a little at bis too evident amazement. "Just earning my living, if you please. Mr. Brent." she replied. "And is that necessary?" "Most necessary. Did you ever hear the old story of the prodigal son, Mr. Brent V" lie nodded, watching her earnestly. '"Wei!." Bess went on. a little* breath lessly, "like him. I have wasted my substance until 1 must earn if 1 would eat. I've been a business woman for a year, and I'm beginning to like it even better than being a sociciy girl. Ah, here comes Mr. Baird!" as the old lawyer entered. Iiis eutranec ended their conversa tion for thai day. but soon after Brent tame again. Being u lawyer himself and upon very good terms with Mr. Baird. it was easy for him to frame excuses for fre quent calls. "So you like doing tki??" he said one day. standing beside her and look ing down at her nimble fingers She looked up at him brightly. "Yes, indeed. I never knew what it was lo live uniil now. T only wish 1 had got to work sooner." He waited awhile. They were alone iu the office, and in the silence the clatter of the typewriter keys sounded Btartllngly loud. "I suppose." he said finally, "that you are so in love with your work here thai nothing could induce you to make a change. Aud yet I have been think ing that I could offer you a position rather better than this if you cared to accept it" "But I'm Uot sure that it would be fair to Mr. Baird to leave him. He has been very good to me." Bess said. " "Yen don't understand." Brent said, speaking very low and leaning over her. "This is a permanent position that of being my wife." , "I'd given up ever expecting to hear that from you." Bess said a little later. "Why didn't you tell me it that sum mer at Lenox or the winter before in Boston V" "Because, my dear," Brent said. "I'm a sane man, and no matter bow much I cared .for a woman I would never marry her were she not the right sort. I didn't see In the frivolous *girl you were then the making of a good wife for me. So, though 1 was strongly tempted. I went away without speak ing." "Then I played the prodigal daugh ter to good udvantage, after all," Bess said mischievously. "If my money had held out this would uever have happened. But how do you know that my old habits may not return?" "How? Because you have learned your lesson well. And, anyway, the role of prodigal daughter, as you call it. never suited you so well as"? "My present one?" "No: as your future one as my wife will suit you." Sick Convicts' Excuses.

The accompanying illustnitloii shows tin? construction of a simple, durable and light forging hammer. This ham mer takes up uu extra room in the shop, as it may be hung over any an vil and can be swung up out of the way when not in use. The hammer consists of two hangers or bearings of wood babbitted for a one and live-eighths inch crank shaft. These hangers should be eight inches long, lour inches wide and four inches thick, with two live-eighths inch bolts In each piece to hold them to the tim bers overhead. The crank shaft is made of one and live-eighths inches cold rolled steel. If this crank is made with a core no lathe work will be re quired on it. On one end of this shaft is a twelve inch flywheel and on the other end a ten inch driving pulley. Both of these should be fitted with a key. as there is considerable strain on this shaft. The two side pieces are of three inch channel iron, with the fiat on the inside to form al I he lower part the BLACKSMITH S III M'KIL guides for the ram head. Two pieces ou each side one-half by two inches hold the frame in place and form guides for the ram. Bearings on the upper ends of the channel irons can be made of wood or iron and babbitted, says the American Blacksmith. The channel pieces can be of any length to suit the height of the room in which the hammer is located. Two three quarter inch rods with turn buckles are used to bold the lrame in position over the anvil. Make the connecting rod in two pieces, with five-eighths inch bolls each side of crank. The ram head is of iron 2 by .". inches, with a steel face drawn small at upper end und bolted (o spring, which can be made of an old carriage spring with strap to connect at lower end. This hammer is run with a loose belt and tightener, which can be worked by foot or hand. There nre no obstruc tions in working this hammer from' any side, and the stroke should be four inches, with a speed of about 250 revo lutions per minute. Effects of Cold on Wines. From experiments made in France in the employment of artificial refrig eration in wiucuiaking the following conclusions have been drawn: Grapes may be kept at a temperature of 2'.i degrees F. for a year, but it is not advisable to keep them longer than a few mouths because of the inevitable .softening of the seeds. In the clari flcation of liquors and their prepara tion for exportation to cold climates very good results nre obtained by cool ing to 2b" degrees F. for seventy-two hours. Cold affects wine by preeipl tutiug excess of tartar and. with this, the oxytannins. albuminoids, pectates and certain alumina and iron com pounds which the wine holds in sus pension. Pathogenic microbes are ren dered inert and carried down with the lees. Applied to sparkling wines, cold increases the quantity of carbonic acid dissolved without injuring the quaiily.?Scientific American. Curious Defect of Vision. A curious defect in color sense is re corded by Mr. C. It. Gibson iu the '?Transactions of the Royal Philosoph icai Society of Glasgow." The case in question is that of Mr. Gibson himself. His color vision is perfectly normal, with the exception that at times bis sensitivity to red is suppressed. As soou as his attention is called to a red object his eye immediately responds, and he sees the object as it really is. In other words, the temporary "red blindness" disappears immediately when he is informed that red rays are present in the light which strikes his eye.?Scientific A uierican. New Theory About Lightning. Lightning is a huge electric spark following cracks in the atmosphere Is the interesting theory of Professor A. W. Porter, an Kuglish physicist. It does not take the well defined zigzag course in which it has been so often .pictured, and its actual Irregular patch suggests that the air must be cracked by a blow of sufficient sharpness, like that from the powerful electrical dis charge. Though cobblers' wax. like the air, is an unlikely thing to crack, it splits easily under a sudden blow. Earth Mot Going Dry.

Denies Statements Made by That Gentleman. Editor Calhoun Advance: Mr. M. D. Keller and I have al ways been on good terms and still are. He writes a long letter to sup port Mr. Wannamaker in his conten tion that he was ignorant of the au thorship of my article, and that he had spoken to me about the commis sioners' meeting prior to that event. His letter is written in good tem per, and I shall reply in the same manner, but believe I can prove even to his satisfaction that his memory is very poor. I did not discuss the holding of, a commissioners' meeting with Mr. Keller prior to that event, and it was merely mentioned inci dentally by Dr. Bates and Mr. Wan namaker during our interview as al itady stated. After the meeting Mr. ?Keller did tell me about the action of. the commissioners. Our conversation was brief; he lid not ask my opinion as to the advis ability of their action, and it was not proper for me to criticise an act I had no idea would be projected along the line of influencing public opinion by the instigated advice of a judge. Had the bond formators left the subject to be settled by the good judgment of the voters, I would not have written. I believe my recollection of this matter is correct, and is entitled t ? more consideration than his, when you recall the fact that his memory is so unreliable, that notwithstand ing I told him I was the author of the article signed Citizen in the pres ence of several witnesses at about 1 o'clock on Saturday, he had forgotten all about it by night-fall, and urged Mr. Wannamaker to reply, saying. "A gentleman, much to my surprise in formed me this evening that Mr. Smoak was the author, much to my surprise." I am sorry Mr. Keller remembered only w?hl some "gentleman" had told him during the evening, and entirely forgot to tell Mr. Wanna maker that he had asked me the direct question if 1 was not assist ed, and had received the prompt and unqualified reply: "I wrote the article, and Dr. Dreher knew noth ing of it until its publication." Mr.1 Wannamaker would have been so1 much relieved?he was trying so hard to find out. fate seems to have been against hiin. and every avenue of definite information seems to have been closed. Mr. A. K. Smoak: 1 positively have nothing to say on either side' to this controversy between Messrs. Smoak and Wannamaker. but in justice to Mr. Smoak will say that on Saturday, May 29th, 1 was pres ent and heard him in reply to the direct question, tell Mr. M. D. Keller that he had written said article with out the knowledge or promptings of anyone. This interview was at about 1 o'clock. R. D. ZIMMERMAN. I am a friend to all parties, but in justice to Mr. Smoak will say that on Saturday evening, May 2Gth, I i was present and heard Mr. D. Keller ask Mr. A . K. Smoak if he was the "author of the articie in question, and if Dr. Dreher had any thing to do with it." Mr. Smoak replied that he "had written the ar ticle without the knowledge or aid of any one." This interview was at about 1 o'clock. W. H. Gaskin. A. K. Smoak. TURNS THE LAUGH On Mr. Fairey by Quoting His Own Story on Him. Editor Calhoun Advance: I must not forget my good friend, Mr. Geo. W. Fairey, or he might feel slighted. lie insists that I have attacked the commissioners, in face of the fact that I have asserted and reasserted to the contrary. Let me again remind him that 1 have indulg ed in nothing of the kind. Mr. Fairey's chief cause of com plaint seems to be that my article was beyond his comprehension, "com posed of such big words that the country people, and he especially, could not understand it." I humbly apologize to Mr. Fairey, and will endeavor to get within the range of his comprehension, and in order to do so, will simply remind him of a very happy and appropriate illus tration that I heard him use on one occasion: Mr. Fairey attended a Cjalhoun county meeting in Jacobson's hall, and when called upon for a speech, he said that the people of St. Mat thews reminded him of the way the neighbors of a cm-tain man treated his old 'possum dog, Tige. When "simmons" were ripe and possums were fat, all the 'possum hunters were great friends of Tige, and whenever and wherever they saw him they endeavored to make friends, popping their lingers at him, calling "Tige, hero Tige, here Tige," throw ing him a bone; but as soon as hunt ing season passed, it one ot these erstwhile friends happened to meet Tige in the road he would give him a kiek, saving, "Cut out of tue way, you good-for-uothing, measly cur." The application being that he was Tig.., the St. Matthews people, the hunters, 'possum time being when St. Matthews wanted a county, and the off or kicking season begin when be wanted to go to the legislature. Moral: Is it 'possum time now, and who are now popping their fingers a Tige? Goodby, friend Fairey. We be friends, but remember the fate of poor Tige. A. K. SMOAK.

People do not seem to understand this, and even doctors are slow in comprehend ing it. Constipation depends mainly on dry ness of the bowels. During the hot weather the fluids of the body are drained away in perspiration. Unless considerable extra fluid is drunk, the internal organs are deprived of their usual amount of fluid. The fluids usually used by the bowels to keep the contents moist, aro absorbed into the blood and evaporated on the surface of the body, to cool the body during the hot weather. Hence, constipation. It is very unfortunate indeed, for any one to bo obliged to take drastic cathar tics to relieve constipation. Uf course drastic cathartics will clean out the bowels, but tbe habit of constipation remains just the same. Even a little worse. If a mild and gentle stimulant of the bowels is used, combined with a tonio that has the double effect of stimulating the natural peristaltic action of the bowels, as well as attracting to tbe bowels the necessary portion of fluids, if such a remedy could bo devised it would be of great value to the people during the hot weather. It is believed that Pernna comes nearer to being a perfect remedy in this particular than any other popular household remedy. Taken according to the directions on tbe bottle, it not only increases tbe appetite and gives strength to the nervous system, but it produces a slight action of the bowels, overcoming constipation without pro ducing a cathartic action. We are rn receipt of a great many let ters confirming the statements made above. One will su lice for illustration.: Mr. William Eckert. 273 Nor: b Eight eenth St., Columbus. Ohio, writes: "I have been afflicted with chronio constipation for twenty-five years. "About six months ago J was feeling badly, and concluded to use Pernna as a tonic. To my surprise, before 1 had finished the first bottle of Pernna I noted that, my bowels were moving regularly, without any physic. From that time to this my constipation has disappearec1 Perunahas notonly built me up, but H has cured me of chronio constipation." CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.
