A Man of Promise 1 Original. Bsrnlce Doaue wus a country girl that Is, she waA brought op In a small Now England town. She went awuy from home to be educated, and before Iter final return her father died, leav ing only the houeo In which the family bad lived. Nil en W 11 linn n bad been a Wtftor for her hand since she was little fctore than a child, but NUes bad gone to college, whero he had been a gen j eral fag In tonn time, a teacher In va 1 cation. Tlds was essential to his etUi- cation. ' When Berulce Aulrihod at school and went . home Will man was ! Btniggllng in n law flcltool In much the same fashion he had puJ'cd himself through college. Horn ice was n nwre high bred girl ; than the other girls In her town. bhe ' would have paned m social life any where. On Iter return she learned that : a young curate, Tracy Bond, had I come to the village during horab- fience, an Intellectual young fellow and j very agreeable. Ho had, however, been brought irp In the most arlato j cratlc circles in the land and did not I appear to take much Interest In the ) girls- of his parish.- Bernlce was in- formed by rW friends that ahe must j not be disappointed if ho failed to no tlco her. But when nlie and Itev, Mr. Bond met he not only noticed j her, but devoted himself to her. The result wan a love affair, and in time ' Bond called on Mrs. Doane to ask foi .' her daughter's hand. Now, Mrs. Doane was a very prac tical woman. During the call she sat quietly knitting, chatting the while with her visitor, gradually getting at ! the bottom of the young man's ability ! to make a wife comfortable and taking his measure without his In tlio least suspecting It "My Income at present," said the rev ; crend gentleman, with stress on the "at present," "is a more six hundred a year, but I have a strong friend in the bishop, and the Bond family la by no means disposed to see one of its mem bers left In the lurch. Our family, which I may truthfully assure you Is ; one of the oldest In our state, has" . ; "Yea, yea," interrupted Mrs. Doane, "I ; have heard of the atandlng of your ' family. lias It sulllclcnt mentis to keep , up a stylo of living com idciihu rate with , Its honorable name1?" ) "Oh, yes," replied the young man. ' "My father, It Is true, has not attained y the success ho deserves, but my Uncle j Edward 1h now engaged In putting a , copper mine on a paying busts and Is Just on the eve of success." "And will share his profits with you, 1 suppose?" nuked the lady dryly. "Uncle lias always been very tmvl of me," replied the curate uneuslly, "but of course since he has eight children I ' don't count on funds from him. But I am sure of his Influence. I am rather looking to preferment In my profession and the sale of some western lands tatten by my granuratner for a debt. Bemlce la a noble girl aud Is fitted to take the position 1 have in view for her. I do not intend that she shall be put to the necessity of doing menial jwork. My wife shall never go Into the kitchen. My family would cut me If i 1 allowed such a thing. 1 am quite sure It will stand by me In my marriage and will be able to make my path and Itamliui'a tnutli stria I This ended the lntervlow, and Rev. Mr. Bond departed, feeling that he had Silenced any doubts Mrs. Donne might have had as to the expediency of trust lng her daughter to one of the old and tried Bond family. When Mrs. Doane was atone Bemlce joined her, holding lu her bund a let ter from Ntlcfl Will man, which she gave to her mother to read. It was a reminder of a youthful promise she had given htm, but releasing her If she wish ed to bo released, since she was now a woman of an age to make her future, while he still had years of plodding ahead, wltti no one but himself to help him. Mrs. Doane humlitl back the let ter. , "NHos Is doing something," .she Take 171 M EOF CARDI9I at Home 'Art you a sufferer? Has your dodor been tmuc cftishil?

"and promising oooing, White Mr. Bond Is doing nothing and living In a roseate world of expectation that some one will do something for him. You must make your own decision, my daughter. I know that no one can successfully Interfere with a girl fol lowing the dictates of her heart, .but if X were you I would decline Bond and accept Nlles Wlllmuu." I It wna a bitter struggle, but Bernice Inherited the practical nature of her mother and rejected the curate and In time married the lawyer. Itev. Mr. Bond before be left the pariah bocame engaged to one of Ber nice's friends. Uuruice was a bit shak en when she thought of the handsome cuinte iu his canouiculs led to the al tar by another. But she tided over her ernotiomi and In time forgot all but her happiness as tlio wife of a young law yer, full of pluck uud resource, rapidly making his way Into a lucrative busi ness. Ten years after Bern lee's marriage and about as many after the marriage of Rev. Mr. Bond, Mrs. Wlllman and her mother, being In the city where Bond and bis wife were settled, thought It a good opportunity to call on them. The doorbell wns nnswered by Mrs. Bond, whoso drawn feutures Indicated that she had not found llfo as roseate as Mr. Bond had promised Mrs. Doane his wife's life should be. Half a dozen rhlldren came trooping after their mother, she evidently being nurse and housemaid. During the visit the hus band called out In a quorulous tone from hla study:, j "Nan, why don't you brlrg me up a cup of ten, as I told you?" Mrs. Bond sighed, excused herself, went out to the kitchen and carried a cup of tea to the man who had de clared that his wife Bhould never be her own servant FLORA MILUGAN.. SHE WAS MISTAKEN. The Story of a Woman Who Thought She Told the Truth. "If you ask me whether wo lawyers j ever encourage, aid and abet untruth fulness," said an elderly attorney at a j dinner recently, "I can only ask as a reply: "Does any one know what truth j Is 7 Does any man really know wuoii he Is telling it V I had u rather curious case once a few years ago. I won't say whether It was a murder or a divorce, hut the clearing of my client, the de fendant, depended entirely on his abil ity to prove that when ho walked down a certain corridor of a certain summer hotel ho was accompanied by two per sons. It happened that he wuh seen by the housekeeper of the hotel, a woman of more than ordinary Intelligence, and she Insisted that there were three In tlie party and not simply two, ns the prosecution claimed. It was Impossi- j ble to shake her testimony, and we j carried .tlie day. The housekeeper died j u yrar ur ou iuit.r. a iit-Jiru 11 luruufcu her priest. He commented on the fact that she had always taken great satis faction In tlio thought tliat her testi mony cleared my client. She was, he said, and he spoke from a confessor's kuowledge, one of the most truthful persons he hud ever met. I told my client what the priest suld the next time we met He Bmlled. "'She was lying all the while,' he said. , 'She didn't see three of us, be cause there were only two.' "Wash ington Post CHINESE TRADE GUILDS. They Vmmm on All Dlnpated luetlona of Labor and Food. The' laborers In China work long hours, and their meals are supplied by the employer. Their food consists of rice, partaken of twlco a day, with now and then a few vegetables or pieces of salt llsh or pork as a relish. Tea Is also furnished to them lu unlimited quanti ties. They begin work as soon as day light appears and continue until be tween 8 and 0 o'clock at night, the re cent Introduction of kerosene oil length ening their hours of labor. The work man cats and sleeps In the niton where he is employed. Not only do the male workers have a trades union or guild of their own, but so also have the employers. To these guilds are referred all disputed ques tions of labor and food, which, as a rule, arc amicably settled. The opera tives seem to take It for granted that their employers can properly claim ev ery moment of their time from early morning until night unless about thir ty minutes set apart for each meal of rlco and vegetables be excepted. .When the two guilds fall to arrive at a satis factory settlement of a dispute the em ployers simply close up tlio shops. Canton boasts of over seventy trades guilds. These guilds have Hue halls and apaclous courtyards, where their members meet dally and discuss the af fairs of their respective trades and other matters. Whr ! It Everybody knows how the wheels of a railroad car are fastened to the axle. They ar shrunk on that Is, put on hot and allowed to shrink In cooling so that they are practically a solid piece with the axle. These cars go around curves, and it will be observed that the outer rail covers a great deal more ground than tlie inner one, bo that to turn the curvca and finish even the out side wheel must of necessity travel considerably faster than the Inner one. Yet It is fixed solidly to the axte and cannot make a fraction of a revolution in oo than the other one, yet the axle remains Intact and the curves are pass ed with untiring regularity. Why Is It?

Arizona Kicklet things Keep Riht on Happening Is Givcadasa Gulch. MR. JOHN BON of New Mexico, whoever he may be, sends us a postal card on which he writes that he is on hit way to put three bullets into us. Yi extend the glad hand, Mr. Johnson, and will try to do as much for you. We believe we ore tlie only newspa per man west of the Mississippi river who can lend a dead broke gambler $70 on a diamond piu without first putting a chattel mortgage on the of fice. We don't say It to brag, but sim ply to show bow Providence has help ed us along. In our last issue we stated that Tom Jordou, proprietor of the Bald Eagle saloon, bad to leave MorHuuu for goug ing out Bill Davis right eye In a sa loon row. Mr. Jordon called at thi ofllce the next day aud brought proofs that wo were utterly mistaken. He not only subscribed to the Kicker fo: a year, paying cash in advance, but hit attract Ivo advertisement will be found under the head of "Saloons" on anoth er page. Monday-night that large and masBlvc duffer known by the name of Hank Plersou, who has been trying to pose as a bad man among us, concluded to take our advice and change climates. Ills road lay past the Kicker ofllce, ant! as a sort of farewell to us he HriK niiKi) at something: movxno in thk DAllKNEBS. three bullets through the windows. We got out as quickly as possible and fired a charge of buckshot nt something moving off In the darkness. Next morning Bank's starboard coat tall was picked up on the street 200 feet west of the ofllce, and we shall add it to our stock of relics. The cowboys over at Lone Tree got word the other day that hla honor tlie mayor (who is ourself) would pass through the town on the regular coach at 12 o'clock noon. They gathered to the number of forty, with a beautiful new rope bought for the occasion, and when the coach drew up nt the post office they made a rush for it There were only two passengers a little, dried up, red headed man with the asthma and a fat woman from Huld Knob who wus going east to join a side show. The boys succeeded in scaring the two into fits, but got no further satisfaction. Our esteemed contemporary Is out with an article Informing the public that Captain BUI Henderson, had slopped his subscription to the Kicker because It did not satisfy htm as a reli gious paper. Our esteemed is off his base, as usual. We heard that the cap tain had said that ho should do so, uud wo spent half a day looking him up. Do wasn't five minutes iu deciding to continue ns a paying subscriber. We don't deny that any one has n right to stop his copy of the Kicker at any time ho so elects, but In every instance we shall look him up and demaud an ex planation. As mayor of this town It Is our duty to see that all the local ordinances are enforced. Ilube Scott, our town mar shal, b a poor stick of a man, having less sand than n coyote and being as good uatured as a Jack rabbit There ie an ordinance against crowds congre gating in the corridor of the postolllce and threatening the life of the post master because the eastern mail hap pens to be an hour late. We ordered Rube to enforce this ordtnnnce tlie other day, but he was afraid to. We therefore took off our coat and began on Colonel Jack Smith, and we threw twenty-seven men outdoors before stopping. It was a great surprise to the town, and the excitement Is still high, but the iwstotftoe hi no longer the loaf lng place It was. We have received a letter from Phil adelphia asking If a young man named Victor Hugo Scott has applied at the Kicker office during the last year for a situation on the editorial staff.' We cau't remember, as the applicants num ber half a dozen per week. We have a dim recollection that such a person did call, however, and that three days later he went over to Blno Hill, and the boys took htm for a horse thief and laid him away. We will look over our files ns soon ns we get time and see bow It was. At least hnlf the newspaper men woo come this way looking for work get plnnted sooner or later, and it Is al most Impossible for us to remember names and dates and where they He sleeping. M. QUAD. Ijjg PAINFUL PERIODS Suggestions How to Find Relief from Such Suffering. While no woman Is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer bo severely. Menstrua tion is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. If It is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious de rangement of tlfe whole female organ ism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Compound overcomes pain ful and irregular menstruation. It provides a safe and sure way of es cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so con vincingly what Lydia E, Piukham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davi sion Street, Buffalo, N. V., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " Your medii'in" ii indeed nn idoal medicine for women. I sulFcreil misery foryuars wit.h puinf ul periods, lieatlai'hod. nnd bearing-lowu pains. I consulted two different phys-Mmis but fnilod to gut any relief.

In olden days au English noble enter fd a barber shop, and, upon inquiring for the master, was answered by uu apprentice of fourteen that he was not at home. "Do you shave, then?' asked the duke. "Yes, sir, I always do," wae hc reply, "But can you shave without cutting?" "Yea, sir; I'll try," answer ed the youth. "Very well," said th duke, while eating' himself and load ing his pistol. "But, look here, if you let any blood, as true as I sit here I'll blow your brains out) Now, consider well before you begin." After a moment's reflection the boy began to make ready and said, "I'm not afraid of cutting you, air," and in a short time had completed the feat with out a scratch, to the complete satis faction of the duke. In gentle tones his grace asked, "Were you uot afraid of having your brains blown out when you might have cut me so easily?" "No, sir; not at all, because I thought that ns soon as I should happen to let any blood I would cut your throat be fore you could have time to tire." The reply won from the duke a hand some reward. It need scarcely be add ed he never resumed his dangerous threats In a bnrbcr shop. A lesson was taught him for life. A Tried and I rue Friend, One Minute Couyli Cure contains not au atom of any harmful drill!, and it has been curinp Coughs, Colds, Croup and Whooping Cough so long that u has proven itself to be a tried and true friend to the many who use it.

The gauge by which worldly prosper ity is measured is not always the same. But it does not so much mntter what standard Is used so long as It shows accurately the amount of gain or loss.

Pinkhara's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women. . When women are troubled with irreg ular, suppressed or painful menstrua tion, leucorrluen, displacement or ul ceration of the womb, that bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating, (or flatu lency), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember there in one tried nnd true remedy, Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best.

Judge Sblpp presiding, the trial of a cause had been protracted till near midnight The jury were tired and sleepy and showed flagging attention, Willie Murchlson, who was addressing the jury, thought to arouse them, so he said, "Gentlemen, I will tell you an anecdote." Instantly the Judge, the jury and the few spectators pricked up their ears and were all attention, as Murchlson was admirable in that line, had a fund of anecdotes ond no one could tell them better. H be Boon proceeded to tell one of the dullest, prosiest and most pointless jokes pos sible. Everybody looked disappointed. The judge, leaning over, said in an un mistakable tone of disappointment, "Mr. Murchlson, I don't see the point of that joke." "Nor I, either," replied the witty couusel. "But your honor told It to me on our way down here, and, ns I thought tlie lack of apprecia tion must be due to my obtuscness, I concluded to give the joke a trial by jut?.
