staying at a friend's country place la

the guests, was a somewhat conceited.
straight-laced, and Interfering clergy
man. Entering the blllard-room oue
morning shortly after breakfast
the person found his royal highness
deeply Interested In a sporting paper.
Instead of retiring at once, as any man
of tact would have done, the clergyman
forced himself upon the prince.
Might I ask your highness If such a
paper aa you are reading really inter
ests you?" said be.
"I am not in the habit, air, of reading
what does not Interest me," said tbe
prince very rigidly, and then turned
again to bis paper.
The parson, however, determined to
have bis say, continued in a somewhat
dramatic tone of voice:
Don't you think, your royal highness,
that horse racing and betting are a
great curse to this country? Now,
what would your royal highness think
of a man (alas, once a friend of mlnel
who lost $50,000 through betting? He
told me himself that he never won $500

What would your royal highness think I

In the following Interview the reader
will at once recognise the force of ad
vice that Is the result ot personal
knowledge.
Mr. Ned Yerkes Hawley la a travel
ing man whose home is at 1926 W.
Boon Ave., Spokane. Wash. He baa
recently had an experience of more
tuan general interest and In an In
terview with a representative of the
Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, he
said:
"In June, 1899, 1 became bilious and
subject to dlxxy spells. I had no ap
petite, my heart seemed to flutter at
timea and beat Irregularly, and dark
spots seemed to float before my eyes.
This continued for about six months.
During that time I was troubled with
lameness in my back and pains over
my kidneys. I waa under a phygl
clan's care and he told me my trouble
was biliousness and Inflammatory
rheumatism. I waa in bed for over
four weeks and did not seem to be
getting any better.
"One day I saw an advertisement In
which it was stated that a case simi
lar to mine had been cured by Dr.
WilUam'B Pink Pills for Pale People.
I procured some of the pills and with
in two weeks the inflammatory rheu
matism which had become very ac
cute and caused me tbe most Intense
suffering, was entirely cured.
You will therefore realise tnat 1
am a firm uellever in Dr. William s
Pink Pills. They cured me and I am
so sure that they will prove equally
valuable in other cases that I have
recommended them to a great many
people."

ty year of married life.
In 1824. when walking was far from
fashionable, this sturdy Quaker pair
walked 500 miles among the Scotch
mouutalua, carrying uecesxary luggage
ou their strong young backs. They
climbed lieu Lomond, waded streams,
crawled over bogs, scrambled through
bracken, ami slid down shtnr defiles In
the course of this wild tramp.- Doubt
less tbe peasants fancied they were
mad.
In the fifty-Bret year of their married
life, when Mrs. Ilowltt was over 70 and
her husband almost 80, they started
out oue summer morning to climb so
Alp of the Tyrol. From tbe vlllsge ot
Taufers they climbed a road too steep
for vehicle, walking steadily for five
tours.
At dusk they came to a farmer's
ihatet; there they were cordially Invit

they slept on the sweet, fresh hay lu tbe
barn, sud employed tbe days lu twice

Where Women Propose.
There are some curious customs con
aected with marriage In the Torres
Straits Archipelago. It Is almost uni
versally tbe woman who proposes.
Having found a young man to her lik
ing, tbe girl makes a string armlet and
gives It to his sister, who acts as
go-between. A meeting Is srranged In
the bush, and a harmless conversation
takes place, during which, however,
tbe following questions and replies, In
some form or other, will probably be
made: He: "Do you like me proper?"
She: "Yes, I like you with my heart
snd eye. You are my man I like you
sltogether." The wedding day Is flxed
