All Grocers • She was the only daughter of a re­ tired business man, who had once been eminent. He was a young and prosperous lawyer. She was of a mor­ bidly poetical temperament and looked at life always through a prism of sen­ timent. He was unimaginative and practical. In a word, each was the complement of the other. "Are yon sore, George," she asked him, sighing, "that you really love me?" • "'Absolutely, dearest." . "And you will always love mef* "Forever." He yawned and looked at his watch. They were half expecting a visitor. "I always used to say, dear, that I had told you all about myself--every­ thing; that I was keeping nothing back from you. I am so sorry!" Her eyes grew misty with tears. "I did not intend to deceive you. There is one-- only oue--event of my life I had never mentioned to you." \ "Well, and what is it?" tie interrupt- %d a little irritably. She sank down on the rug beside him in an attitude of supplication and clasped her arms about his knees. "Did you know, dear, that I once tised to write poetry?" "Well, many persons do that It may be foolish, but it is not wicked." "And about five years ago, dear, I collected all my poems into a volume and published them. I saw only one |View, and that--it was in a paper The Critic--Oh, George, it was cruel!" ' "If that is all--" "All! It humiliates me to think of It even now. Think how I Buffered! The publicity--the disgrace! 'These poems,' he wrote--oh, do not ask me what he said!" "You silly thing! I don't suppose even a millionth part of the world knew anything about it. Nobody reads reviews of books--except the men who write them." "I could not regard it so stoically," she sighed. "I cannot eveQ§ now. 'These babblings of incipient imbecil­ ity.' That was ooe of his phrases." She shuddered at the recollection of it. "By1 Jove! Of course the best of critics are not angels, tat yours must hare been a--" » ""A heartless, heartless man!" " ^ ^ "If it had been a man's book**£*.0 "He may not have known I was a woman."" "You are too severe. No reviewer criticises a book till he has read the title page.** "But I did not use my name. I wanted to see if they wonld mistake my work for that of a man. I called it 'Heart Longings,' by Samuel Jenk­ ins, but all my friends knew, so that really made no difference." He had grown suddenly thoughtful. Taking the childish, pretty face be­ tween his hands, he gazed down into her dreamy blue eyes. "Come to think of it* I remember I have a . secret which I have never dis­ closed to you. So, after all, we are each as bad as the other." She started and scanned his feat­ ures eagerly. "You? A secret, George?" "Only a little one--like yours. I won't keep you In suspense. "We have both been sinners, and I was the worse of the two. I must tell you, then. Before I *ras a successful lawyer I was a wickeji young dog and did sev­ eral scandalous things that I am ashamed of now." She caught her breath and waited in an agony of expectation. "They were all of the same descrip­ tion, but I am sorry on account of one in particular." "And that?" "Well, being hard up, I used to earn odd money in all manner of odd ways. I was a flippant, self-satisfied brute, And--" He paused, and, putting an arm about her, drew her closer to him. "I have a heart now, you know I have, sweetheart, don't you?

Speaks for Fat Men "Fat is not an indication of lazi­ ness," said William Bailey of the gov­ ernment printing office, who is one of the fattest and squarest men in the employ of Uncle Sam. "I'm not put­ ting myself in* the list of 'peart' and 'brainy' fat men, but if one will take the trouble to look about him he will find a good many heavyweights who are not poky and slow, and who are fully up to the average, mentally. Some of the greatest men the world ever knew were plump even to obesity and Napoleon was one of these. "All these fellows with the withered and parchment look do not possess all the brain by any manner of means, but it is said that the men of letters in ancient times looked this way be­ cause they &ere poorly paid and con­ sequently lived on slim rations. I notice there are a number of very heavyweight literary men of the pres­ ent day, and I am not disposed to say that this is simply because they are better paid and fare more sumptuously every day. There are few of the lit­ erati who, like Scudery, flavor their crust with a thin slice of bacon taken from a mouse trap. Dr. Johnson was fleshy, even to clumsiness, and so was his biographical shadow, Bos well. Balzac, the great French novelist, was so stout that it was a good day's ex­ ercise to walk around him; and he was encircled with bandages, as though he was a hogshead. Rossini, the musical composer, was a regular Jumbo, as big as 'Big Winnie,' and for seven years he never saw his knee. Lablanche was charged three fares when he traveled, and Jules Janin, the prince of critics, had chin and cheeks which protruded beyond his whiskers. "And so a whole list could be given. Lord Byron and Eugene Sue, the author of 'The Wandering Jew,' so dreaded becoming fat that they took lemon and vinegar to prevent it, and many fat people of the present day are taking something of the kind to pre­ vent too much flesh. When Daniel Lambert died, in 1800, he weighed 737 pounds, and it required 112 feet of plank to make a coffin for him. It took twenty men three hours to get this monster man into his grave."-- Washington Post. Power of Human Eye || There is an old saying that any man can subdue a wild animal by merely looking into its eyes, and in­ teresting stories are told of adven­ turous hunters who have put the the­ ory to practical test. An African sportsman had a unique experience in attempting to charm an ostrich. Approaching a large ostrich, he gazed fixedly at it, and to his delight the mesmeric glance seemed to meet with immediate success^ The bird crouched and flapped its wings nerv­ ously. Some hours later, however, the man's body was found with the ostrich alternately sitting and jumping upon it. Another believer in the human eye experimented on a wild cat confined In a zoological garden. He afterward confessed that but for the wires of the cage his face would have been torn to pieces. A very different story is related of a man attached to an African hunting party. Wandering one day from camp, he surprised two cub lions at play, and thoughtlessly commenced to amuse them. He was only too suc­ cessful. The big cubs gambole^ fear­ lessly about him, and to his dismay refused to desist when he wished to leave them. Realizing the danger to which he would be exposed should the mother appear, he began to run, but the cubs refused to be shaken off, and in their play they scratched his legs in a fear­ ful fashion. That the creatures were thoroughly enjoying themselves was evident from their manifestations of delight, and before long their unusual cries brought a lioness leaping to the spot. Trembling in every limb, the man faced the growling animal, while the cubs continued to Jump at him, eager for further caresses. The enraged lioness moved round uneasily in a circle, man and beast keeping their eyes fixed steadily on each other. Sev­ eral times the lioness crouched to spring, but the man, from fear, never shifted his gaze. At length, after what seemed an age, when the man was ready to drop from exhaustion, the animal suddenly called her cubs away and disappeared into the surrounding shrub. [ How Mackay Won Pool j Are You Sick? DMefib# your case ML A. 1L MA80S, HOW. tftad&tmt York* v -•*' . V" * J.' • * :/ .i Mackay was an early riser, a hard worker, and, although exceedingly hos­ pitable, was himself abstemious and could seldom be induced to play cards for money, and then only for nominal stakes. The only game that seemed to attract him was the "grasshopper Taces," with which the mining super­ intendents on the Comstock beguiled a portion of the noon hour, while wait­ ing for luncheon at the Savage Com­ pany hoisting house. Boys caught grasshoppers and sold them to the players at 25 to 60 cents each. Each player paid a fixed stake, ranging from $1 to $20, into the pool, and the man whose hopper made the longest jump captured the pool. On the day before Christmas it was agreed to celebrate that holiday with a pool, the stakes in which were to be $100 for each player. The terms were "play or pay," and at the instance of a German pity- fessor who was allowed to use any means that he might devise to stimu­ late his grasshopper. The professor ... was so full of kls scheme to scienti­ fically capture the $1,000 pool--for there were ten entries--that he com­ municated it to a young assayer who was not a grasshopper plunger. The professor had experimented and as­ certained that a grasshopper that was touched by a feather dipped In a weak solution of acqua ammonia would jump for his life. The young man also experimented, and as a result he filled a bottle of the same size and ap­ pearance with cyanide of potassium and managed to substitute it for the other in the professor's laboratory. The next day, when the professor, after much boasting .about his scienti­ fic attainments, dipped a feather in the substituted bottle and touched his insect with it, the grasshopper rolled over as dead as a salt mackerel, amid the roars of the crowd. Mackay's hop­ per won the big po«l, and two widows, whose husbands had been killed la the Yellow Jacket Mine, received a gift of $500 each from an unknown source.--San Francisco Call. The Economy of Modern Methods. The coke used in iron furnaces is made in the most approved manner. Coal straight from the mines is' passed through a plant costing many thousands of dollars, which saves all the volatile portion. The tar and ammonia are washed from the smoke, the latter being crystallized into sul­ phate of ammonia and the former be­ ing made into pitch and creosote. The gas from these ovens is then con­ ducted to the blast furnaces, where, in the process of iron making, it is forced through molten metal. Even then it is not allowed to escape, but is made to do service in heating boil­ ers for generating power-producing steam. Each ton of coal thus treat­ ed yields 10,000 cubic feet of gas, 20 pounds of ammonia and 100 pounds of tar. The ammonia is used for re­ frigeration and fertilizatioft; the tar is taken by roofing plants; and even the slag, the scum of the molten iron, is utilized in the manufacture of ce­ ment. About the only waste element is the heat escaping from the cooling Ingots of iron, and some enterprising genius may yet devise a plan of stor­ age battery whereby this lost energy may be used to hatch our chickens. A Dentist's Advice. Tbledo, Ohio, Jan. 25th.--Mr. Harry L*. Lewis, Dentist, 607 Sumit street, this city, says: "I certainly advise anyone, no matter how severe they may have Kidney Trouble to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I was troubled with Kidney Dis ease for several years and Dodd's Kid­ ney Pills cured me. I had used many so-called remedies without any benefit Four months ago, I was flat on my back with this painful trouble and must say that I almost gave up hoped of ever getting any better. Through a friend's advice I purchased six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "At first I could see but little bene­ fit, but after two weeks, I could see an improvement I had been getting up several times at night and pains in my back were very severe. When I had taken six boxes I felt better than I had for years. The pain had all gone and I didn't have to get up during the night at all. I continued the treatment until I had used several more boxes, and now I am glad to say that I am completely cured." 4 f Algerian Wheaty/" Practically all the wheat grown in Algeria is hard wheat The total product in 1902 was 21,000 metric tons.

LLEWELLYN JORDON, Medical Examiner of the U. S. Treasury De­ partment, graduate of Columbia College, and who served three years at West Point, has the following to say of Peruna: 44Allow me to express my grati­ tude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short month has brought forth a vast change and I now consider myself a welt man after months of suffering. Fellow suf­ ferers, Peruna will cure you." A constantly increasing number of phy­ sicians prescribe Perfina in their practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that eren the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so-called patent medi­ cines and recommend it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical scieuce. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as everyone will admit, is the cause of on<>- half the disease which afflicts mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one- half of the people of the United States. j Robert R. Roberts, M. D., Wash­ ington, D. C., writes: , "Through my own experience as well as that of many of my friends and acquaintances who have been cured or relieved of ca- tarrh by the use of fiartman's Peruna, / can confidently recom­ mend it to those suffering from such disorders, and have no hesitation in prescribing it t > my patients,"-- Rob rt R. Roberts. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes: "Peruna is the best medicine T know of for coughs ajjul to stengthen a weak stom­ ach and id give appetite. Besides pre­ scribing it for catarrh. 1 have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and the suffering. Dr. M. C. Gee writes from 518 Jones St., San Francisco, Cal.: "Peruna has performed so many won­ derful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. I have frequently advised its use for women, as 1 find it insures regular imd painless menstruation cures leucorrlinna , Mi Dr. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Examiner United States ,, T reasury.

'Catarrh is a systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Ihen catarrh dis­ appears. Th<n catarrh is permanently cured. If you do not derive prompt and satis­ factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad­ vice gratis.
