“I bought a bottle at once and took it
in teaspoonful doses every hour, and in
two days I could talk. I will never be
without it."

(Boston Herald.)
For many years Stephen Snow was
a familiar flguro about Boston’s water
front. He had a fund of good stories,
among them tbe following, which he
took delight In tellin 0 '
For several years during the early
seventies Steve and a number of oth
ers used to breakfast at three in the
morning at a then well-known restau
rant on Commercial street. Because
of the early hour the advent of a
stranger at the tables was noticeable.
One cold, stormy morning all were
interested In a rather untidy looking
man who was eating an enormous
meal. In time his hunger was ap
peased. Stepping Jauntily to the
cashier’s desk, he asked if the nroprl-
etor was about.
"I am the proprietor,’ sharply re
turned the man reigning over the
money drawer.
“Well,’ said our friend, with a con
fidence inspired by a hearty meal,
“I am awfully sorry, but the best I
can do is to thank- you for a very
nice breakfast, as I have not a soli
tary cent with which to pay you.”
For reply the man behind the cash
drawer reached under the .counter
md. nroduclng an army pistol, lev
eled It at the bead of the stranger.
The latter calmly surveyed it for
several seconds with no attempt to
move from Its range. His face took
on an expression of anxiety. Shifting
his gaze to the face of the “man be-
'ilnd the gun,” he asked in marked
tones of alarm: “Is that a stomach
pump?”
No matter how much a widow once
knew, she is willing to learn it all
over again.
A man couldn’t make much money
collecting the rewards for virtue.
Easy street’s sunny side Isn’t paved
with good intentions.
Ask any “JAP” that you may see,
“Why the Czar, with bear behind,”
had to climb a tree.

he.

Letter W. J. Wilkins A Co.
Gaffney, S. C.
Dear sirs: Now, may be, you can’t
get the goods; If you can, your for
tune Is made.
Cotton doth—they call It muslin In
some parts—at about the usual price
ner yard, but wider, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better, keeps
white and whole a surprising time In
all sorts of wear.
You could sell that cloth for hun-
drels of miles; there’d be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less
yards. Wears longer; one buys less
often. It always looks right till well
worn-out. No one customer buys so
much of It, but think of the number
of customers!
May be you can’t get It In cloth:
but you can In naint: Devoe. Devoe
is as if It were wider; a gallon goes
further; you buy less gallons; you
pay for less gallons; you pay for
painting less gallons—as If one paid
less for making a garment of that
wide cloth—and It keeps Its fresh
look and sheds water till you have
forgotten how old it is.
It isn’t true in cloth, but it is in
paint: the less you pay. the better it
is; for the goodness of paint is reck
oned by gallons; less gallons, more
goodness. Goodness in paint is
strength. The stronger a paint/ the
less gallons it takes for a job and the
longer It wears.
Yours truly

THE GAFFU2Y DRUG CO.
A Famout Institution of Montreal,
Once Reviled, Now Honored.
(From Hartford Times.)
Among the many places which the
tourist visits in Montreal there Is per
haps none which appeals to him more
strongly than the Grey Nunnery This
imnoslug edifice, which occupies near
ly the entire square, stands near one
of the most fashionable shopping dis
tricts of the city. The Grey Nunnery
Is an asylum for the aged and infirm,
and a school and home for orphans
and foundlings. It was founded many
years ago by a religious society
known as the Grey Nuns and the
good work which they did in helping
tho poor and needy Is carried on to
day by the members of that same or
der. At first the Grey Nuns met with
considerable opposition in their work,
it being alleged that they both sold
liquor to the Indians and partook of
too freel/ themselves. Their name
being a jest, the French word for
“grey” meaning also “tipsy,” and
thev were derided as the drunken sis
ters. This ba^e libel upon their good
character has long since been lived
down and today the name once spok
en in derision Is honored by Catho
lics and Protestants alike.
Entering the nunnery gate shortly
before noon one goes first to the chap
el. As the bell tolls the hour the
nuns enter and pass silently to their
places. There are, perhaps, a hun
dred or so of them, all robed in grey,
and they occupy a section of the
chapel to the right of the main aisle.
A short service follows, composed
mostly of chanted responses, and
then the grey sisters return again to
their more secular duties.
As soon as the nuns have depart
ed a whlte-oapped little woman, who
speaks English with a most delight
ful French accent, takes us In charge
and conducts the visitor through the
various departments of' the building.
Here are the old folks busy with their
knitting or perhaps indulging in, a
quiet game of dominoes; here the
school rooms and dormitorlea, occu-
nied bv the children. A well equipped
gymnasium attracts attention and the
kitchen and laundry are models of
convenience. Everythin^- from too to
bottom of the vast building is spot
lessly clean.
Entering one of the school rooms
the visitor Is suddenly confronted by
a sturdy band of valiant little sol
diers armed with toy guns. None of
the warriors appear to be over six or
seven years old, and they are com
manded by a captain of their own
age, arrayed in a resplendent scarlet
coat, who flourishes a tin sword and
shouts his orders fiercely. A credit
able drill -is given, terminating with
a volley, at which a number of other
boys, who had been sitting on a near
bv bench, tumble down as If saot.
Leaving the boys, we next visit the
girls’ department Here ’ a .picked
class of some thirty or forty girls, of
the same age as the boys, gives an
excellent calisthenic exhibition, and
one litle tot favors with a short rec
itation.
Passing down a long corridor we
now come to the nursery, and here,
sleeping peacefully, each In Its little
cot, are half a hundred babies (waifs
of the streets, many of them), under
the watchful and loving care of four
or five pleasant faced, low-voiced Sis
ters. Although visitors walk freely
around the room and peer curiously
Into the little cots, not a baby cries.
And so we wander from room to
room, always seeing something to ad
mire, until our guide leads us to the
•rate and. with a parting smile, sig
nifies that our visit Is at an end.
Lincoln’s Permit to Veteran.
Mr. Linton Park, who is now an in
mate of the soldiers and sailors’
home at Erie, Pa., was among those
who Joined In the chorus, “We are
coming. Father Abraham, three hun
dred, three hundred thousand more.”
He enlisted at Washington and was
assigned to the Second District of Co
lumbia regiment.
Mr. Park was then, as now. a veg
etarian. While he could assimilate
everything connected with his an
swer to the call of duty from the
standpoint of patriotism, he could not
assimilate the army pork. It was
plain that If the government wished
t do the square thing by Mr. Park
it would have to show broad-minded
ness In the matter of rations.
So he took his troubles to Presi
dent Lincoln, and explained that In
some respects he was like the chil
dren of Egypt. He could not forget
the leek« and onions with which he
was wont to regale himself back In
Indiana county.
Lincoln smiled. “You want me to
turn you out to graze like Nebuchad
nezzar?” he asked.
“It would beat salt pork,” was Mr.
Park’s reply. Thereupon Mr. Lin
coln wrote carelessly on an ordinary
sheet of paper:
“The bearer, Linton Pa^k, is here
with granted permission to browse
wherever he chooses.”
Mr. Park saw the humor in the
note and enjoyed It quite as much as
Lincoln did. He also enjoyed the
privilege of “browsing.” The note is
still in his possession.
