There was no doubt as to who did the killing, Porter surrendering him self to the sheriff and telling bim his story of the crime.

Young - men with what was formerly considered a reascnable in come say they can no longer afford to marry or to engage in courtship, and so they settle down, from neces sity, to a bachelor's life. But human nature is a powerful thing, and oc casionall' a young man ana a young woman break through tbe artificial barriers and gel married without re gard to them. If both are of good character and suited to each other in age, culture and intelligence, and are not acting irom mere impulse, the question of social caste is nol, one appealing strongly to the general judgment. The natural order of things is that young men and j'oung women should mate. To a certain extent safeguards must be thrown about them, but when the marriage problem becomes merely a matter of fatuity ambition, nature will protest and so will the vast majority of man kind. A false view of marriage and the family can.destroy a nation and even a race. Marriage is not in tended to be a piece of machinery for family aggrandizement Elopements as a rule are not to be commended. It is a grave step to act counter to parental wishe." or ad vice. Parents should be wise through experience, and affectionate consid eration is their due. But the parent Raid, the . bill therefor amounted to $7,000. It will, no doubt, cause a feeling of devout thankfulness, at least next Thursday, to the owners of the paper, that those dollars, every one of them, are worth two silver dollars, intrinsically, though not otherwise.

Julian is only 14 months old and a fine child, though I say it myself. I had him on my knee in the parlor of our flat when a knock came at the door. I opened it, whereupon, a decidedly elderly - gentleman pushed his way in. "What a fine boy!" exclaimed the stranger, looking in admiration at Jul ian. "I can tell it's a boy. He's so sturdy." I had been inclined to resist his un ceremonious pushing of himself in, but he took so much pleasure in Julian and Julian was so delighted by the atten tion that I hadn't the heart to say any thing. "Six teeth, eh?" continued the pater nal and kindly old gentleman. "Two years old, I judge, sir?' who desires his daughter to make lootaiully two year, ild, but tel. only grand match as tne nrst object to te . 14 months. Usinar aa a nucleus for his investigation the rumor that the life of the daughter of rrsnc a. rrouc, wen Known in uetroit, Mich., real estate circles, had been saved, a reporter called on Mr. Trout at his office, 103 Griswold Avenue. Mr. Trout showed some hesitancy in giving his opinion for publication, but finally said: "Circnm itances and a father's love for his child forced me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, but not until the whole medical profession bad exhausted their skill. At the age of fourteen we had to take our danehter from school owinz to her health. Before this she had been in the best of health, happy and in the best of spirits. She began to fall away and became pale and languid. She was so weak that she would fall down in a faint every time she tried to walk unsupported. The best of physicians attended her, bnt she continued to grow weaker and seemed to be. gradually fading away. "When she was fifteen she weighed only ninety pounds, and the doctors said it was anemia. Several physicians said she might outgrow it, but that it would no doubt ter minate in consumption. No doctor we had could help her, and we concluded ourselves, we must lose our child, as she was growing weaker every day. " We had tried all the well-known reme dies, and finally about a year neo I bought a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and took them home. . That day I bad read of a case about the same as my daughter's, and decided to give them a trial, though I must confess I did. not nave much faith. Before she had taken all Of the first box we noticed a chancre for the better. She, however, gained strength daily 1 From the Evening Newt, Detroit, JOcK. and looked brighter. Every one noticed the change, and I bought two more boxes for her. " When she had taken two boxes she was strong enough to leave her bed, and in less than six months was something like herself. To-day she is entirely cured, and is a big, strong, healthy girl, weighing ISO pounds, and has never had a sick day since. "I do not think she uses them now, though I always keep them in the house. My wife and I have recommended them to our neighbors, and sent a few to another young girl who seems to be in the same con dition as my daughter. Had not Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills saved my daughter's life, I would not recommend them to any one. I know they do all and more than is claimed for them, and I am glad to recommend them to the world. I know Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People saved my daughter's life, and that is enough for me." F. B. Teoct. Subscribed and sworn to before me this fourth day of March, 1897.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, all the ele ments necessary to give new lite and rich, ness to the blood and restore shattered nervs. They are also a specific for troubles r-culiar to females, iaoh as suppressions, irregulari ties and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cagM arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of what ever nature.

' The literature of every age cries out against such a view of marriage. Hundreds of the most powerful books and dramas tear it to pieces. If the course of true love seldom runs smooth, yet it usu ally reaches its destination, and the world applands the happy endii.g. Manying exclusively for wealth or position is a reproach, and is gener ally mentioned with a prediction that it will not turn out well. The list of social shipwrecks foundering on that rock is a long one in the rec ollection of every one of mature years. The granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln has chosen a husband for herself after due deliberation and a persevering effort to gain full parent al consent. It is not what tbe French call a "mesalliance," a word, by the way, not yet turned into American. The young husband is well educated, respectable, and moves in what is considered goo'd American society. He is wealthy compared with Abra ham Lincoln in his earlier days. There is no reason why he may not rise in the world or even play a laud- able part in it without rising very far. It is true that tbe bride's grand father reached one of the highest places in the history of the country, but it was not through social ambi tions or alliances. He was always a man of the people, even homespun in his ways, and it is not conceivable that he vcould have withheld his blessing from the granddaughter who has asserted the right to choose a life partner whom she loves and re spects. If any aspirations for a grand mariiage and establishment have been destroyed the two persons most concerned are hearlily glad of it, and wisely so. As for other sufferers from the event, they have only to look back one 'generation to find better social ethics and a. better example. Globe-Democrat. "Impossible," was the reply, in a tone of wonder. Julian meanwhile was crowing and laughing at the stranger and. held out his arms. It suddenly dawned on me they handle a great many patent med icines for throat and long diseases. He bad all these to eelect from, and skilled physicians to antwer to his call, but se lected this remedy for use in his own home at a time when his l-oy's life was in danger, because he knew it to be su perior to any other, and famous the country over tor its cares of tbe croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling rongb medicine they handle, and that given splendid satisfaction in all cases. Sold by Blakeley tc Houghton. GAVE HIMSELF UPfb DEATH. FEMININE FASHIONS."

The Oregonian Monday of last week printed the delinquent tax list of Multnomah county. The list filled about ' eight pages, and, it is brought forth an old wallet and drew my gas bill from it. "Here, little boy," he cried, "is some thing for you to play with. I really be lieve he'll have another tooth through in a week. There isn't another baby in Brooklyn to equal him." Julian was waving that gas bill in his little fist, and the two made the sweetest picture together the old gen tleman and the child. I 'had a $10 bill that I was boardirfg to buy a new coat and vest with, and 1 brought it out. with a sigh. The old gentleman accepted it casually. j "Well, well," he said. "I must be going. Twenty-five pounds! Four teen months old!" As he walked downstairs he looked back two or three times to wave his hand and cry "By-by" at Julian. He was certainly a superior and well edu cated old gentleman and I have no doubt he was reduced to- the necessity of taking up his present occupation by reverses of fortune, but I wish I had thought of asking him to have ' my gas meter brought back. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.. .... Parlor Decorations. ' The present fashion is that of placing plans intended for parlor decoration in fancy baskets. This is neither appro priate nor artistic, and when there is a ribbon bow tied on the basket's handle . -as though a milliner's finery could possibly improve nature's favorites the effect is very much like that of "'painting the lily.". Nothing is really prettier for this purpose than a tile grown somewhat subdued and mossy with age, for either flowering plants or those of ornamenal foliage. If, however, as is sometimes the case with large palms, a commodious receptacle is needed, the most suitable one is a small tub, painted exactly their own shade of green, set on a wicker stand ard similarly painted, or one of dull, unobtrusive metal. Gay-colored, jar diniers detract from the plant which they hold, instead of being for them a foil, as is the plain tile pot. N. Y. Post. The three-year-old boy of J. A. John eon, of Lynn Center, 111., is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is sure that the timely use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, ' during a se vere attack, saved his boy's life. - He is in the drag business, a member of . the firm of Johnson Bros .ot that place, and echoed in muffled way between the overhanging walls and reverberated in his cars. For one hour he lay there in this cramped position, while gloomy thoughts passed in frightful procession through his mind. ' . Fortunately, his little dog was with him. "Boss" is a particularly intelli gent dog, and after the accident to his master went to the nearest house and acted so strangely that Mr. Walton, the owner, followed him to the shaft. There he found and rescued him. FRUIT AS A MEDICINE. Aolda In I wool delaines trimmed with ribbon in ; any of the thousand and one ways ap- proved by fashion.

Frnlt Asalat tbe Action ot tbe Stomach. Why for ages have people eaten apple sauce with their roast goose and suck ling pig? is the conundrum asked by Popular Science Monthly, which then proceeds to elucidate as follows: Simply because the acids and pep tones in the fruit assist in digesting the fat so abundant in this kind of food. For the same reason at the end of a heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits and .when we want their digestive ac tion even more developed we take them after dinner in their natural uncooked state as dessert. In the past ages in stinct has taught men to do this; to-day science tella them why they did it, and this same science tells us that fruit should! be eaten as an aid to digestion of other foodb much more than it is now. Cultivated fruits, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, grapes, etc., contain on an analysis very similar proportions of the some ingredients, which are about one per cent, of malic and other acids, and one per cent, of flesh-forming albuminoids, with over 80 per cent, of water. Digestion depends upon the action of pepsin in the stomach. Fats are di gested by these acids and the bile from the liver. Now, the acids and peptones in fruit peculiarly assist the acids of the stomach. Onlv lately even royalty has been taking lemon juice in tea instead j Sole Proprietor of the CELKBItATKD of sugar, and lemon juice has been pre scribed largely by physicians to help weak, digestion, simply because these acids exist very abundantly in the lemon " : ' L 'CC-' ; .
