His luxuriant crop of flame-hued hair took on quite without culture, indeed despite all culture, the contour of a full-blown prize chrysan­ themum, from an archipelago of freckles resembling a sepia map of Oceanica. His nose rose like the tower of Lebanon that looketh toward Damascus. To right and left a spread­ ing ear flapped defiance to any threat­ ening head wind and this was but the cupola, so to speak, for an assortment of legs and arms that had apparently been selected quite at random from a pile of left-overs in some forgotten corner of the creator's workshop. All Of which description is grossly exag­ gerated, of course, but in no way lala- iMding, for I found out long ago that ia portraying Van it was absolutely ••cessary to exaggerate in order to make one realize how far from beau­ tiful he was. From the day be entered school he was the legitimate prey of tease and bully. I suppose it was hard on Van at first, for at home his mother had not called him Bricktop nor his father taunted him with the upward tilt of fcla nose, but he took it all with gtolcal heroism, thrashed whom he could, diverted whom he could, helped gome with their lessons and bribed others by judicious outlay of his spend­ ing money until, at graduation, he w.ia as popular as any fellow in the class, howbeit as far from handsome as when a little tad of six. At college he came out at the head of his class. He took a year In Eu­ rope after that; then he came home, went in with his father and fell in love with Grace Sereno. Of course, he fell in love with Grace. Grace had a nose Phidias could not have bettered, a complexion like the blending of the wild rose and the llly- of-the-valley, a figure that was the glory of a tailor-made and the apo­ theosis of a ball gown, hair she could let fall in lustrous billows to her feet, •yes so big and brown and deep it made you dizzy to look into them. Tt Was simply heartbreaking to contem­ plate, and all the more so when the Yictlm was a personal friend. Van never took me into his confi­ dence, but I suspect Grace had figured in his plans ever since his Urst day at school, when she had asked to have her seat changed "because it made her feel so bad to look at that little Van Wert boy." Anyway, h3 had always done things for her; written to her, sent her presents, and now he went at it deliberately to pay her every cour­ teous attention affection could suggest or money furnish means for. If you have ever done anything in Yivisection, you remember how you felt the first time you saw a live ani­ mal cut to pieces. It is not a pleasant sensation, but with some of us it came to be almost chronic while we watched Van's courtship drag out its sickening length. He was such a good fellow and she such a nice girl. To pour his soul out in her service and yet never bore her seemed to have become the purpose of his life; to let him know the truth and yet spare him all she could seemed to be hers. Grace and her mother spent the sum­ mer at the lakes, and so did Van. in the latter part of November she went into the city on her aunt's Invitation, and immediately Van's business took him in at least as often as once a week. When she returned early in February, and Vaii was as attentive as ever, I knew that that blindness-of-love busi­ ness (man's love) is a true story, for Van never seemed to realize that she had been running away from him, and the whole miserable thing was worse tangled than ever, because we saw that she got to strike hard, which was not going to <be pleasant for her, and Van was going to be cut up to beat •verything. It was up in my room one night in March that Ken and Trenchard and I got to talking it over. We had heard a rumor that Grace and her mother were going to Europe, and we knew that meant one of two things--either Van would be reckless and get his quietus right away or else, on some cooked up excuse or other he would follow them. "Of course," said Ken, as he gave a vicious pull at his cigar, "there's no Van was far from beautiful. use kicking against the pricks. Van has got to swing some day, and maybe the sooner it's over the better." "Of course," Trench admitted, "Van's got to take his medicine, that's all right, but--hang it!--he's such a no end of a good fellow and it'll breal him all up and--Lord! I wish some­ body would chloroform him." "Fellows," said Ken, "can't we do something for Van to break his fall? Hold a blanket for him or something." I told Ken he was a fool, but that no longer makes the lmpressloii m him that it should. "No--hang it!" he said, mean It Now. look here. We all know that Van isn't what you might call a tear­ ing beauty. And--great hat! rlwre t i are other girls, nice girls, slews of girls* that would tafce Quick U they could get him. Fellows with six- figure bank accounts aren't at a dis­ count--not yet Suppose we three were to form a sort of benevolent con­ spiracy, get one of the girls Into it, Mamie Crane, maybe, and then pull every wire we could--Beatrice Bene­ dick fashion--until we had him mar­ ried " "No use," interrupted Trenchard; "we might break Mamie Crane's heart probably would, but that is all would ever come of it Better leave the whole thing alone." . I felt that I knew Van a little better than either of the other fellows did, and I thought I understood the situa­ tion, so now I spoke up. "I tell you, fellows," I said, "there is just one thing can ease the pressure. Ycra can't drive V£n^ you can't coax him, and he is not trying to win on his beauty, you can be mighty sure of that, but he knows and cares a lot for Grace; he knows he's got ability, he knows he's got money and he thinks he could make her happy enough so that after a while that countenance of his would be--forgotten, you know-- she'd get used to it What you want isn't another woman in the case--it's another man, and If you were as smart as Van, as rich as Van, as much in love with Grace as Van, and hand­ some, I tell you Van would give him a free field for her sake--only provid- "Rod," he said, in a constrained Toloe, "I would like to speak to you--pri­ vately--for a minute." lng he were just as good a fellow as Van, and Van would have to be the judge, but he would judge fair." We were all silent, and just at that moment there was a tap at the door, "Come in," I called. The door opened and--it was Dwight Van Wert. We must have looked like a trio of detected counterfeits, but Van never noticed. "Rod," he said, in a constrained, un­ natural voice, "may I ask the boys to excuse you--I--I would like to speak to you--privately--for a moment." I knew it must mean his death sen­ tence, and I followed him, like a lamb to the slaughter. Van closed the door softly, took my arm and led me across to where the great hall lamp shed its red light down upon us both. "Rod, old man," he said, "I have come to tell you that I am engaged to be married. You know to whom--the best girl and dearest in the world-- and I wanted you to be the first to congratulate me. It will be in a couple of months, here, and on the 5th of June we sail for Europe on the Cam­ pania." He gave my hand a numbing pres­ sure, then gripped me by the shoul­ ders and held me off at arm's length. And I looked at him--at his rubricated hair, his tip tilted nose, his lavish wealth of freckles, his wind-break ears and his eyes, in which was shining the glory of the New Jerusalem--and -- by Jove! Dwight Van Wert was the handsomest fellow I ever saw. H«« tk* Flraaldent I* Bh»T*d. President Roosevelt gets shaved every day. A young colored man named Delaney, who is a messenger at the White House, is the President's barber. He is from Alexandria, Va., and was in the government service for some time before he was assigned to the White House to attend to the President's head and face and to per­ form the duties of messenger. In the cabinet room is a folding barber's chair, which, when not in use, is placed against the wall and remains unobserved. The President sits in this and is shaved in the cabinet room. Delaney folds the chair and puts it away when he gets through. The work is quickly done, as the Presi­ dent apparently begrudges the time taken, and wants to be up and doing something. President McKialey al­ ways shaved himself, using either a safety or regular razor. Bis Tank at Ana Arbor. The great tank that Is to be built in the new engineering building at the University of Michigan will be the only one of its kind in the world, excepting that of Denny & Dunbarton of Soot- land. This tank, which is to be sit­ uated in the bosement of the new building, will be 300 feet long, 22 feet wide and 10 feet deep. The principal investigation for which it is designed will be of two kinds --those connected with the models of various styles of vessels and those re­ lating to propellers. Although pri­ marily for marine purposes, the tank will prove a valuable adjunct to the mechanical engineering department in connection with the hydraulic labora­ tory. Bpcort of Kaclnea.

He frowned portentlously at a wait­ er who had dropped a plate of ice cream on the red carpet "Excuse me, won't you?" he asked, and went and whispered something passionately in the waiter's ear. On his return he resumed: "Yes, you may eat a bushel of onions, and a little parsley taken aft­ erward will leave you so that Sher­ lock Holmes himself would be unable to say what you had been feeding on. That Is the truth, and I wish more people were aware of it For onions, which are the most wholesome things in the world, would be as popular as they are wholesome If this matter of the parsley were' more widely known. "Another thing," went on the man, according to the Philadelphia Record, "old cheese melted slightly makes mince pie digestible. You may be a confirmed dyspeptic, but if you will spread on the top crust of your mince pie a thin layer of rieh old English cheese I promise that you may eat the pastry without any aftermath of remorse and pain." B amine Head. Star City, Ark., May 26th.--A very remarkable case has just occurred here. Mr. W. H. McFalls has been suffer­ ing severely for two years with an ail­ ment that puzzled the doctors and everybody. The trouble seemed to be all in his head, which had a burning sensation all the time. Sometimes this burning pain In the head would be worse than at other times, but it never left him. At last he tried a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and was agreeably surprised to find that the burning gradually disappeared. An attack of La Grippe has laid him up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's Kidney Pills have banished his old trouble entirely. His son George used a few of the Pills which his father did not need and they have done him so much good that he says he would not take ten cents a pill for the few he still has left The "Know-Kothlni" Era. The late Dr. Charles A. Phelps of Boston, came near being the last sur­ vivor of the peculiar "Know-Nothing" era in Massachusetts. He was one of the original "Know-Nothing" leaders. He later became the presiding officer, in turn, of both branches of the legis­ lature, and acquired an importance in politics which resulted In giving him office under the Republican national administration.--New York Post "UNDER THE TURQUOISE SKY."

How often do we hear this and similar expressions from tired, overworked women and weary men, who do not know where to find relief. For that intense weariness, so common and so discouraging, we earnestly recommend Vogeler's Cuiative Compound. It is not a stimulant but a true blood purifier and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure, which will gradually build up all the weak organs in such a way as to be a lasting benefit. A fair trial of a free sample bottle which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd., of Baltimore, Md., will send you for the asking, will con­ vince ^anyone of its wonderful medicinal value. It will drive all impurities from the blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength and vigour and make the sufferer wholly a new being. It creates an appetite, makes one sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not forget that Vogeler'sA Curative Compound is made from the formula of a London physician, who has given years of study to same. Sample bottle free from St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd., Baltimore. MRS.

Vortane* of Gold Are Being Found In the Center of the State «t Idaho. Thunder Mountain, the new Idaho gold field. Is the most promising min­ eral region in the United States. The richness of this country was not known until late in the fall of 1901, after heavy snows had closed all ave­ nues by which the region might be reached except upon snowshoes. Not­ withstanding this fact, Colonel W. H. Dewey of Idaho, and others who have had wide experience In mining, have expended vast sums In the purchase of undeveloped claims. The surface indi­ cations are marvelously rich. These gold bearing ledges, from 100 to 300 feet, will run through a mountain par­ allel to each other. In the Dewey mine, this vast deposit has values run­ ning from $7 to $4,000 per ton, and the plates of the 10-stamp mill which runs on the ore have to be cleaned of their accretions of gold every six hours. In a few weeks two miners last spring cleaned up $7,500 in placer gold, using a small cotton hose to wash the gravel, the water coming from a small reservoir on the mountain side. The mineral sone covers a large sec­ tion of hitherto unexplored country, and is about 175 miles from a railroad. There are five routes leading to the Thunder Mountain country, via: via Ketchum, Mackay, Boise and Weiser, Idaho, and Redrcck, Montana, all on the Oregon Short Line railway. A great rush to this mecca for miners la predicted, and "On to Thuader Moun­ tain" will be as familiar as the old watchword, "Pike's Peak or Bust," as soon as the snows disappear so that the camp may be reached with sup­ plies, which will probably be between May 15 and June 1. A scarcity of pro­ visions at present keeps miners away, as flour at $50 per sack is considered somewhat of a luxury even In the gol­ den land. Surrounding Thunder Mountain Is a large section of country adapted to agriculture and stock-raising. D. E. Burley, general passenger agent of the Oregon Short Line rail­ road, at Salt Lake City, sent an expert to report upon that country, and will cheerfully give any information re­ quired as to the routes and general conditions In and around the great mining camp.

Not Infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home ser­ vant cannot do it. Hence these direc­ tions for Ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the iron­ ing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso­ lutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap­ ply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plants in the front iron them downward, after first raising each one with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give It distinctness. After the shirt waist is Ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sup before it is folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Treats ef Marble Mem.
