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

same fashion he had puJ'cd himself
through college.
Horn ice was n nwre high bred girl

' 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

It will stand by me In my marriage
and will be able to make my path and

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

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.

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

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

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

'"'The Duke and ih' Barber.
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.

women. .

Some years ago in a North Carolina
court. 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
