Here Is one that a youug man who knows a good story when he hears It heard one railroad man tell another In a depot up the line the other day: "We picked up a new Irishman somewhere up country asi' set him to work brakin' on a construction train et 3 cents a mile for wages. One day when him an' me was on the train she got away on one of them mountain grades, an' the first thing we knowed she was flyin' down the track at about ninety miles an hour, with uothin' in sight but the ditch an' the happy hunt- ill' grounds, when we come to the end. I twisted 'em down as hard as J could, all along the tops, an' then of a sudden I see Mike crawlin' along toward the end of one of the cars on all fours, with his face the color of milk. I thought he was gettin' ready to jump, an' I see his finish if he did. "'Mike,' I says, for heaven's sake don't jumpr "He clamps > his fingers on the run- n|n' board to give him a , chance to torn round an' lookjnl at me, con­ temptuous, answers! " 'Jump, is it?'

Mr, ••• Itfflf ITfFTTHHimMHHinMllJi A Boatoja ^rrnnalntloa. ^ Littte Enaerson--Mamma, I find no marginal note in elucidation of this ex­ pression, which I observe frequently to occur in my volume of "Fairy Tale Classics," "With bated breath." What is the proper interpretation of the phrase? Maniraar--"With bated breath," my son, commonly occurs in fairy tales. Your father often returns from pisca­ torial excursions with bated breath. The phrase in such Instances, however, has no significance as applyinK to the bait employed to allure the fish, but is merely an elastic term of dubious meaning and suspicious origin, utilized, as I have already intimated, simply be­ cause of the sanction which it has gain­ ed by customary usage in fairy tales generally. Do yon comprehend, Emer­ son? Little Bmemoo-^Perfectly, mamma.-- Judge. Celaellaaeei af Date* Attention has often been called to the curious fact of the date Sept. 8 fig­ uring so largely in the history of Oliver Cromwell. That very dominating man was born on Sept. 3, 1699; he won the battle of Dunbar Sept. 3, 1650; that of Worcester Sept 3, 1661, and he died Sept 3, 1668. But we have lately come across some coincidences of dates which, so far as we know, have not been noticed before. The number 88 seems to have had fatal influence on the Stuarts. Robert II., the first Stu­ art king* died in 1388; James II. was killed at the siege of Roxburghe Cas­ tle, 1488; Mary, queen of Scots, was beheaded in Fotherlngay, 1588 (new style); James VII. (II. of England) was dethroned in 1688; Bonny Prince Charlie died in Rome, 1788, and with him died the last hope* of the Jacob­ ites. Feline DeftaTUf, "Oh, Horace," wailed his youBffWife, "I have Just found .out that Ajax, our beautiful Angora cat has been leading a double life!" "That makes eighteen, I suppose," said Horace. "What has he been do* ing?" "You know I letbim out every morn­ ing, because he seems to want to go and play out of doors. Well, I have discovered that he goes over to the Robinsons and lets them feed bUn aiM) pet bin."--Chicago Tribune. / The Betel Nat. Betel nuts, the produce of the areca palm, are chiefly used as a masticatory by the natives of the east They are too small to be applied to many orna­ mental uses, but are occasionally em­ ployed by the turner and wrought into lxtuda for bracelets, small rosary coses and other little fancy articles. In the Museum of Economic Botany at Kew there is a walking stick made of these nuts, sliced, mounted or supported on an iron center. - • Coo> Disease to*.

"After using a few bottled of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure my wife received per­ fect and permanent relief from a severe and chronic case of stomach trouble," says J. R. Holly, real estate, insurance and loan agent, of Macomb, 111. "Be­ fore using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she could not eat an ordinary meal without, intense suffering. She is now entirely cured. Several physicians and many remedies had failed to give relief." You'don't have to diet. Eat any good food yon want, but don't overload the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will always digest it for yon! Julia A Story, McHenry; G. W.

Dr. Chalmers is the pastor. Daring his pastorate in the, church which is about a year, 'four hundred members have joined. In all the membership numbers 2,350. At the meetings of the men's club the attendance numbers in the neighborhood of 1.000. The club meets every two weeks. Could Mot Breathe. Coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, other throat and lung troubles are quickly cured by One Minute Cough Cure. One Minute Cough Cnre is not a mere expectorant, which gives only temporary relief.

What a proof are these words of an intense nature devoid of all egotism! In his boy he saw the image of the wife whom be adored, literally, adored, for, as I felt, the thought of her as an angel in heaven was never out of his mind. He wore a small gold ring on his watch chain. "This was hers," he said. "Can you fancy that tiny fin­ ger? Can you believe that a womah could wear such a circlet as this? It is a child's." The only other souvenir on his chain was a coin placed there years ago, the date 1848, a piece of the first money struck by Manin in Venice to record the freedom from Austrian dominion. "I love this coin," he said, "as she would have loved it You know what she felt and wrote about united Italy," --The Late Mrs. Arthur Bronson in Century Magazine. • Story of Gladstone. Once in-Gladstone's later life when a uestion of great delicacy and difficulty ras coming on in the bouse of com­ mons and everybody expected to see him watchful and alert and perhaps fidgety over it he deliberately com­ posed himself to sleep on the treasury bench and enjoyed a refreshing nap till the time came, for blm to speak, when, with no apparent effort, he awoke, delivered a speech in which he said exactly what was needed and not a word more and sat down, leaving his opponents so puzzled by the safe and guarded generalities in which he had half expressed and half reserved his views that the subject dropped in a short time because no one could find in his words anything to lay hold of.

She is the constant com­ panion of the taupou, or village guide, who is appointed to entertain stran­ gers and show them the .various sights. Each village in Samoa elects a girl for this office, and It is necessary that she should be the daughter of a chief. Her house is provided for her by the village, and (she is surrounded by a court of native girls. No man who lives in the village is allowed to enter the sacred precincts, and the taupou goes nowhere without an elderly wom­ an. If the taupou resigns her office, the chief can appoint, anqtjaer damsgl^ of high degree. ' .

When the physician-had finished his work and was about tak­ ing his leave, the patient asked, "Doc­ tor, how long Rhall I have to lie here helpless?" * 'Oh, only a day at a time," was the cheery answer. And the poor sufferer was not only comforted for the mo­ ment but many times through the suc­ ceeding weary weeks did the thought "Only a day at a time," come back with Its quieting influence.
