was Infatuated with ber to such a degree
that, notwithstanding the opposition of
his father and of all his relatives except
bis mother, he carried his way and mar
ried her, the ceremony taking place at
Bournemouth in England.
Before this, however, Prince Oscar
bad to renounce bis claims to the suc
cession to the throne, as well as all his
privileges and prerogatives as a son of
the king. He was deprived of the title
' of royal highness, of all precedence save
that which he enjoyed as an officer in

"A sure sign of returning spring!" said
a leading citizen in a contemplative
mood to a reporter, as they watched a
party of street urchins "plucking tops"
near one of the big down town buildings.
"1 often wonder how these 'kids' man
age to change their games simultaneous
ly with the season. J ust as the birds be
gin to coo and twitter and mate for the
nesting season, so the season of tops,
marbles, stilts and kite flying are inau
gurated among the young Americans of
the male persuasion. Girls' skipping
ropes and hoops are nothing to them.
"The epidemic of taking up a game
when its season rolls around is as con
tagious as we are told the cholera mi
crobes will be next summer. One day
the 'kids' all over the city may be doing
just anything for amusement, and the
next day every mother s son of them will
have an old pecked np top and a piece of
cord plucking away for dear life. It is
instinct, 1 think, and nothing else that
prompts them to take np certain games
at certain seasons. Regarding the imi
tation theory, there never was a person
who saw the first boy spin his top in any

start the epidemic by spinning IiIb top in

THE REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE
OF A RHEUMATIC SUFFERER.
All But Paralysed-Loat nil Fleita and

nd Strong.
From the ML Sterling (III.) Republican.)
Few men are held in higher esteem by
their fellow townsneo
ople tli an James W.
Stout of Riply, 111., and it is due no
doubt partly to this popularity that the
record of the case has created such wide
spread interest. While IiIb experience
ia not without an equal, yet it has been
sufficiently remarkable to demand the
attention ol thousands 01 people in Illi
nois, among whom are numbered some
of the most eminent physicians.
In January, 1803, Mr. Stout was
stricken with what was then believed to
be sciatic rheumatism, and in a short
time was barelv able to hobble around

I that his days were numbered. To-day

How this wonderful change was
brought about is most interesting as
told to a representative of the Kepublv
can by Mr. Stout himself :
" I was afllictcd with sciatic rheuma
tism and lumhairo in January. 18!l3,
The sciatic nerve on the right side be
came affected in the hip, running down
to the ankle and across the small of the
back to the left side, and soon my whole
system became alllicted, causing me the
most excruciating pain. In a very short
time I became totally unable to attend
to any business whatever, and the dis
ease rapidly growing worse, I had to take
to my bed, where I lay sullering almost
continuously for months the most agon
izing torture, scarcely being able to move
or ue moved. At one time i my iur oia

movement causing me Buch pain as al
most to throw me into convulsions, i

could not digest, the digestive organs
failing to perform their duty, adding
greatly to my already precarious condi
tion. For weeks at a time I was unable
to eat or Bleep, suffering all the time
most intensely and at times fearing I
would lose my reason, and would have
welcomed death to relieve me of my suf
ferings.
" I consulted with local physicians and
some of the most eminent specialists of
the larger cities throughout the country,
some treating me for one thing and some
for another, but without effect, and I re
ceived no relief whatever. One physi
cian told me I had double curvature of
the spine and would eventually become
Earalyzed. I spent hundreds of dollars
i the short time I was afflicted without
receiving the least benefit. My friends
all thought that there was no hope for
me whatever, and said that I must die;
and I myself had almost given np in de
spair, when in September, 1893, about
eight months alter l was nrst amiciea,
mv attention was called to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. Without
much hope I at once sent toC. F. Rickey
& Co., druggists, Mt. Sterling, III., and
procured some of the pills, and immedi
ately began taking them. Before long I
became aware of a great change for the
better in my almost hopeless condition.

organs performed their usual functions
properly. 1 took some more ana grew

and mv body began to straighten out;
continued the treatment, and in a short
time was able to be about on crutches.
My recovery from that time on was very
rapid and assured. My right leg, which
before I commenced this treatment was
numb and dead, now experienced a
pricking, tingling sensation. I was en
abled to throw away my crutcheB and
walk upright once more among my fel
lows, a better man physically than ever
before. When nrst taken by the disease
I weighed 1G0 pounds : was reduced to
115; 1 now weigh NKJ, more than I ever
weighed at any time in my life. Yes,

No man should become engaged to a worn'

TIM.
RAgged, starving, his thin face blue and
pinched with the cold, he stood, offering hi
matches to the unheeding, hurrying pass
ershy. It bad been bitterly cold all day,
and all day he had trudged the streets try
ing in vain to make a copper or two where
with to buy a meal and pay for a shelter
this bitter night. Homeless and friendless
he stood there, claiming no home but the
workhouse, calling none friend but the ter
rier trembling at his heels.
An earnest little face be had, stamped
with that look of patience which Is born
only of suffering bravely endured. The
clear cut features were sharpened by cold
and hunger, the blue eyes piteous lu their
glance as he scanned the faces of the mov
ing throng. He shivered every now and
then as the keen wind swept round the cor
ner. blowing aside bis fluttering nigs and
making the gaslight flicker In the lamps.
but his voice was cheerful as he bent uown
to speak to the dog cowering at his feet.
"Cold, Smiitr
Smut Dressed a little closer to the boj's
side, giving a monosyllabic wag of bis tail
in answer to his master's words.
The slow minutes passed, and each mo
ment the boy's hunger and weariness In
creased.
Taln't o' no use. Smut," he said at
length lu a tone of dejection. "We shan't
sell tonight. 'TIs too windy fur the swells
to smoke, and when 'tis so cold they won't
nnbuttou their coats fur to take out a
penny."
The dog's tall dropped dejectedly, and he
heaved a long nigh as he looked up qties-
tioningly into his muster's face.
Keep tin yer courage, old man," contin
ued the boy. with forced cheeriuess. "We'll
do better touiorrer, and we've spent a windy
night on Iilackfriars' bridge afore now."
As be dragged himself wearily along the
brightly lighted Strand he paused for a
moment outside a confectioner's window.
Flattening his face against the glass, be
gazed hungrily at the roast beef and turkey
and plum pudding so temptingly displayed
within. Through the grating from the
kitchen below came savory odors which
tilled the hoy with longing and the dog
with restlcsi excitement. They had eaten
nothing since the morning, and In this
fasting condition a night on Iilackfriars'
bridge was not a cheering prospect.
Two ladies walking quickly up the street
were struck by the pathetic little figure.
The brilliant light from the shop window
fell full upon the small pinched face and
eager blue eyes, upon the untidy shock of
reddish hair and the fluttering rags. The
look of hunger was unmistakable, and It
moved the elder lady to pity.
"Stop him for a moment, Edith. I must
get him something to eat," she said, hastily
entering the shop.
The pretty, fair haired girl laid her hand
on the boy's shoulder as he slowly turned
away from the window.
"You are hungry" she questioned, close
ly .examining the intense little face up
turned to hers.
He nodded emphatically, looking up with
wondering eyes at this beautiful, low voiced
lady, whose cold, sweet tones seemed so
full of tenderness to him.
"You are often hungry" she continued.
"Most always," he answered laconically.
"Well, here's a penny for you, and my
friend will bring you out something to eat
in a minute."
The boy was too much surprised to an
swer, but bis sharp eyes were full of grati
tude as he awkwardly touched bis cap.
"Should you like to earn threepence to
morrow morning" she asked, still regard
lug the hoy with eager interest
"Kanther," he answered quickly. "There
ain't many things as I wouldn't do furthrl
pence." "Do you know where Suffolk street is?"
"Second turning to yer right," he said
promptly.
"I live at the fifth house on the left hnnd
side as you go down," she said slowly. "Can
you remember thntP"
He nodded again, his face bright with In
telligence as he followed her directions.
"I'll remember."
"Come at 11 o'clock," she said, "and ask
for Miss Munro. I am going to make a pic
ture of you. Send you to the Grosvenor if
you are a success. If you are a good boy, you
sluill have threepence a day until the picture
Is finished.
At this moment the other lady came out
of the shop with a parcel in her hand.
"Here is something to eat, my hoy," she
said in a comfortable, motherly way. "Tuke
it home and have a good meal. Now, Edith,
If you are ready."
He watched them silently till they passed
out of sight, his eyes round with astonish
meat.
"Here's a gol" he murmured as he turned
away from the brightly lighted window,
"Thrlpenceaday why, I shall make my
fortuu'l Come, Smut, we'll find a doorstep
and eat our supper. Oh, here s a got
Turning down a by street, they soon
found a sheltered doorstep on which they
seated themselves. Smut pressed close to
bis master's side, eagerly milling at the
parcel which the hoy proceeded toopen with
Angers trembling with excitement.
i "Beef, roast bcefl Ain't we In luck,
Smutr And hot latere and hreadl Oh,
Smut, ain't she astunner, and no mistake?"
The food was consumed in rapturous si
lence, while the Icy wind swept by unre
garded by the happy pair in their sheltered
corner.
"No nasty bridge for us, Smut; she gave
Jis a penny, and we'll sleep in a jolly warm
room tonight," said the hoy presently, hold
ing out the greasy paper for thedng tollck.
"My eyel ain't we in luck Thrlpencea
day! Smut, that comes to 1 and 6 a week.
Oh, shan't we he rieuf"
Smut thumped his short tail loudly In re-
)onse and pushed his cold nose affection
ately against his master's cheek.
"Thripence a day if I'm a good boy," he
went on reflectively. "Hut, Smut, I ain't a
good boy. I swear at the chaps when they
call me 'Carrots,' and I lick 'em when they
say you're a ugly brute. Hood boys don't
fight and swear. If she finds out as I ain't
good, I s'pose she won't make a pictur' o'
me no more she'll stop the thrlpenceaday.
But she shan't find out, ole man. I'll tell
her I'm a pious chap as goes to the Sunday
school, (ientlefolks think a deal o'they,
Smut. Ain't they green, just?"
At 11 o'clock next morning he was admit
ted into the house in Suffolk street by a
neat maidservant, who eyed bim suspi
ciously as she curtly told him to follow her
np stairs. He was shown Into a large, barely
furnished room at the top of the house,
where he found his friend of the previous
night seated before the easel.
"Ah, these you are," she said carelessly,
"and your little dog too. What la hit
name"
"Smut."
"Smutf But he Isn't black."

That's why I called him riimil. Hut he

"How was it be was so black when you
bought blraf" she asked indifferently. "H
Is white now."
"Dldu't buy blm," he said. "I fought
fur blm. 'Twas like this. When I was a
little un, I see two chaps with a pup they
was agoln to drown. They'd left him to
starve in a coal bole, but he wouldn't die,
and so they were agoln to drown blm."
"And you fought themf" questioned the
girl. "That was very brave of you."
"There was nothln brave 'bout it," he
said hastily. "I dared 'em to fight, one
after t'other, and I licked 'em both. That's
how I come to have Smut."
"He ought to feel grateful to you," she
said. "Now, will you stand on that plat
form and turn toward the window
that's right. Now, lean forward a little,
just as you were when I saw you looking
lu at the shop last night that's capital.
Stand just like that and keep at still as
you can."
For some minutes she worked silently,
while the boy stood perfectly still, scarcely
daring to move an eyelash.
"I think we may talk a little now," she
said at length, "hut don't move your head
when you speak."
"Right you are," be returned, fixing his
eyes steadily on the patch of murky sky
visible through the window.
"What are you called" she asked, stand
ing back from tbecanvasand regarding her
work critically.
"Tim," he answered briefly.
"And what is your other name"
"Ain't got no other," he said. "I'm just
Tim." -
"Well, what ts your father called" she
suggested a little impatiently.
"Ain't got no father; aiu't got nobody
but Smut." '
"Have you lost your parents long'" she
said, with no touch of pity in the clear, low
voice.
"Didn't lose 'em; never bad none," he
returned indifferently.
" 'Siect I grow'd," murmured the girl,
suppressing a smile. "But yon are such a
little boy to be alone in the world Where
do you liver"
"Streets, most times," he said. "Sum
mer months we sleep out o' doors, Smut
and me. But winter time we get a penny
lodgln when we're in luck."
"And when you are not in luckr"
"Then we sleep on Blackfriars' bridge or
the 'bankment. The bridge is warmest,
There you can get a corner out o' the wind
if you go early, before the best seats are
took. On the 'bankment 'tis fit to freeze
yer marrer."
"Would you reel happier in the work
house'" she asked carelessly, standing back
once more to catch the general effect.
Should be better off, most like," he re
turned quietly. "But there ain't no place
fur dogs in the 'ouse, and Smut and me
ain't agoin to part."
"Do you ever go to church r" questioned
the girl, after a pause, fearing that he would
grow restless if he did not talk.
"Constant." said the boy unblusbingly,
"and we go to Sunday school reg'lar, Smut
and me."
"Smut, too'" she asked absently.
"Leastways, Smut waits for me outside,"
be said hastily, "Oh, we're right down pious
chaps, we are."
"There, I have done for this morning,"
she said, presently, rising from her stool.
"Here Is your money. I would give you
more if I could afford it, but I am poor,
like you. Can you come at the same time
tomorrow"
"Right you are," he said, pocketing the
pence slowly.
"Then I shall expect you at 11. Goodby
good by, Smut."
Edith Munro had a vivid recollection of
Tim as she had beheld him in the Strand
three weeks ago. The scene bad impressed
itself on her mind. The busy street, the
flickering lamplight, the Blender figure of
the boy as he bad stood with his face pressed
against the glass, looking with longing eyes
Into the brightly lighted Bhop. But the
picture had appealed to her imagination
without In anyway touching her heart; she
bad regarded the pathetic little figure as a
possible "subject," but no tenderer feeling
had moved her.
Tim posed as a model in the Suffolk
street studio for some hours every day, and
the painting was beginning to look life
like under the artist's skillful fingers. En
couraged by her careless questioning, the
boy poured forth the whole of bis pitiful
history, unconscious that his words fell on
inattentive ears. Nothing was hidden from
ber. His poverty, his loneliness, hispas
tiouate love for Smut, all were laid bare be
fore the girl whose Interest in him was
purely selfish, whose questions were
prompted solely by the desire to keep him
quiet. Tim, however, was happily ignorant
of her indifference, and her apparent sweet
ness awakened in him a devotion which
filled his hungry little soul with enthusi
asm. He thought of her as one far removed
from the rest of the world as a being free
from every taint of evil.
A sense of bis own umvorthiness took
possession of him and weighed heavily on
Ills loving heart, He had told her that he
was a good boy that ho went regularly to
church and Sunday school, and the re
membrance of this had become unbearable
to him.
As he walked slowly down Suffolk street
one morning a mighty resolve formed itself
In his mind. He ran up stairs hurriedly,
fearing that his courage might forsake him
if he gave himself time for thought; and
his first feeling on finding the room unoc
cupied was one of disappointment. Smut
curled himself up in his usual corner near
the window, and Tim stationed himself be
fore the easel, looking bitterly at the rag
ged figure which met his gaze,
"You a good boyl" ho suld, regnrdlng the
painting contemptuously. "You look like
It, don't youf Your little game's 'bout
done, ole man; you'll see the Inst of her."
He took his place quietly when she came
in, his heart beating heavily under his rag
ged jacket as he gazed out silent ly upon t he
patch of gray sky. The unusual silence
struck the girl, and she regarded him with
something akin to interest as he stood there
with the light falling upon his rigid little
face.
"What makes you so quiet today, Tiinf
Has Smut been a imd dngf"
"No, it ain't Smut," returned the hoy
dreariiy. "It's me that's been bad."
"Why, what have you doner" she asked,
her eyes growing warm with nmusemcnt
"'Twos the very first day I come here,"
he said in the same dreary tones, never re
moving his gaze from the window. "I told
you a crammer. I said as how I went to
went to church and to Sunday school."
"And it was not tnio" she questioned
lightly.
"Never lieen Inside a church 'cept to
warm myself," he answered doggedly.
"Never been to Sunday school in all my
born days."
"What made you tell such a story'' she
Inquired, the ludicrous side of the scene
alone striking her.
"Wanted you to think I was a good
chap," he returned in a low, shamed voice.
"You said you'd give me thripence a day if
I was a good boy."
"And why do you tell me about it now?"
she asked curiously. "Is it because you
know that I cannot finish the picture with
out your"
"No, it aln'tl" he answered roughly, look
ing round from the window fur the first
time.
"Why, thenf"
"Don't know, 'xactly, but it ain't that,"
be said more quietly.
"Don't you know that it Is very naughty
to tell stories?" she questioned, with an un
comfortable sense that some rebuke was
required of her.
"S'pose so," he answered humbly.
"Well, we'll say no mora about it," she
said vaguely, "but don't do it again."
When Tim entered the studio next day,
he found Miss Munro sitting before her
easel, looking pale and languid.
"I shall not want you this morning," she
said wearily. "I am not well enough to paint
today."
"You look awful white," said the boy
gently.
"You ran come tomorrow as usual," the
continued in the same subdued tone. "I
dare say I ihall lie fit for work tomorrow."
llil you 11 feel better soon," be said as
be awkwardly moved away.
He walked slowly down the street and
along tin embankment, his dog trotting
cli.kC at hi l.iels. A thin, gray mist tiling
i.vir the ri n r, veiling the opposite shore
liout view. As he looked thoughtfully
across the stretch of water his eyes absently
followed a boat as it silently becume visible
out of the mist and as silently melted away
Into It once more. Smut jumped up on
the wall presently mill sat there 1ihjI.Ii g
down gravely into the gloomy water. Tim
putted the dog with an a Intent air, and
when he smke his voice was low and sad.
"Kite suld as how (he was poor that first
night," be whispered brokenly, "and I've
never given it a thought! She lays out
thriK-nce a dny ou that pictur, 'cos she't
agoln to sell It, just use me biiu iiij
mutches, only her money takes longer com
in in."
Smut was quick to read the sadness in
his master t tone, and lie pressed ms iieau
close against the ragged jacket with an In
articulate murmur of sympathy.
" You'ro sorry, ain't you, ole chap?" con
tinued the lioy wistfully. "Vou love ner,
too, don't you?"
Smut wagged his tail unenthusiastically.
It was his private belief that bis master
overrated Miss Munro s charms.
"Site's hard up," said Tim, after a pause.
"She's awful hard up, Smut. She ain't got
no money to buy any breakfast that's why
the looked so white. And we bad bread
and hot coffee," he ended, with a sob.
For some minutes he was silent, his eyet
wiile and miserable as they rested on the
gray st retch of water, hut his face cleared
presently, nnu a smne parteu ine small lips.
"I've got it," he cried triumphantly, rais
ing his arms from the wall. "I'll tell her
tomorrer. Come, Smut."
It was with eagerness that Tim entered
the studio next day. His little face was
pale and pinched, for he bod tasted no food
that morning, but bis expression was oue
of entire happiness. In his hand he car
ried a parcel done up lu a dingy piece of
newspaper, and this be proceeded to lay
timidly upon the girl's lap.
"Why, what Is It?" she questioned, re
garding the boy curiously from her high
stool as she sat before the easel "It feels
quite hot."
"It's it's Latere," he said awkwardly.
"Potatoes?" she echoed in amazement.
"They're I brought 'em for you," be ex
plained, rubbing one thin leg against the
other nervously. .Most, tuniK roast raters
prime. I never touch 'em myself," he add
ed hastily; "no more does Smut. Come
here, sir!" as the dog sniffed longingly at
the parcel still lying unopened ou the girl's
lap.
She looked helplessly from the parcel to
the boy and bock at the parcel again, and
then the room rang with ner merry laugh.
"Thank you," she said as soon as she
could speak. "11 will look at them pres
ently. Will you put them in the fender
for the presentr"
Tim experienced a vague feeling of dis
appointment as hesilently obeyed. He bud
hoped to have the pleasure of seeing her eat
these potatoes for which he and Smut had
gone break fastfess this bitter morning, and
her laughter hod pained without enlighten
ing him. He was almost glad when at length
she told him that he might go, for he did
not feel at ease In her presence today.
"Here is your money," she said. "It Is
sixpence this morning. I forgot to pay you
yesterday."
"Keep It," he said awkwardly. "Keep it
till I ask for it. I don't want thripence a
day no longer. I'll ask for It when I want
It."
"You want to save it up till It gets a big
sum?" she questioned carelessly. "You
are going to buy something with it?"
"Yes," he said eagerly: "that's It. I'm
ngoln to buy somethin."
"Very well, then, I will keep it for you
safely," she returned, replacing the money
in her purse.
"And I'll ask you for it when I want it,"
l e repeated earnestly. " You'll know as I
don't want it if I don't ask fur it."
Tim hud never found it easy to pick up
kls scanty living, and the effort hod been
greater than ever of late. His small face
regained its old, half starved look OS the
days passed on, but he bore himself bravely
in the presence of the girl for whom he was
sacrificing so much, and she never noticed
the change in him.
She told him one morning that she should
not need him after that week, for the fin
ishing touches were now all the painting
required. He received the news in silence,
ind for the few remaining days went about
sadly, treasuring up every careless word
that she uttered. His affection for Smut,
too, seemed to deepen as the week drew to
its close, and it was with passionate misery
that he talked to the dog as be washed blm
that Saturday morning.
"It ain't 'cos I don't love you, Smut," he
said, with a sob. "You know that, ole man,
don't you? And you won't forget me, will
you, Smut? P'r'ups I shall see you in the
street some day, ole chap. I shall come and
look at the 'ouse constant"
His llttlo face was pale and set as be en
tered the studio, and there was a strained
look in the wide blue eyes as he took bis
place before the window. The light fell
softly upon the ranged figure, upon the
warm tinted hair, the rigid features. And
the girl sitting near at hand saw It all and
felt only nn artistic pleasure in her model.
His poverty, his wretchedness were nothing
to her. He had fulfilled the service she bad
required of him and would pass forever
out of her life when he left her room today.
"i'ou Biiid once as you felt lonesome at
times," he said at last, his eyes fixed ear
nestly on the window.
"Yes," she agreed carelessly. "It is rather
lonely up here."
He was silent again, looking steadily at
the little patch of sky visible above the
roofs of the houses opposite.
"Smut's a very good dog," he continued
presently. "He nln't particklcr neither
anything as Is ngoin does for Smut, and
he's thnt patient when you're out o' luck!"
"Ho seems an inoffensive little dog," she
allowed, glancing at the terrier as lie lay
under the window. "Why, how white he
looks today!"
"Been washed," exclaimed the hoy brief
ly. "He's a handsome dog, Is Smut when
he's clean."
"There, I think I have done with you
now," she said after a long silence. "You
have been a very good boy, Tim, and the
picture is a great success."
He descended from the platform slowly
and stood t wisting his cup in his hands,
while his lips twitched nervously.
"You can keep him If you like," he said
awkwardly. "He's very good company,
Smut is."
"Keep him?" she echoed carelessly. "Hut
don't you want him?"
"No," he answered slowly. "I I'm tired
o' Smut."
"In that case he can stay," she returned
Indifferently. "1 dare say he will not be
much trouble."
"He ain't a bit o' trouble," said the boy
wistfully. "And he's very nffectlonate."
"Well, he can stay," she said. "And
here's your money, Tim; quite a large sum
now, Isn't It?"
"I I don't wnnt it," he returned hastily.
"I said as how I'd ask fur it when I wanted
it."
"But you are not coming any more, you
know. I have linished with you now."
"I ain't got no place to put it to," be said.
"I'm sure to lose It If I take it owsy."
"Well, call for It when you want it," she
suggested. "Then you can see Smut."
"Yes," he echoed, with a strange smile;
"I shall see Smut."
He took the dog in his arms and smoothed
the rough, white coat with tender fingers.
"Smut knows as he's got to stay," h
said, placing the little creature on the floor.
"I'll call for the money when I want it."
He stood in the doorway for a moment,
taking a last, lingering look at the dog
trembling in the corner at the girl as she
sat there, impatiently waiting for him to
go, and then with a short, dry sob he went
slowly down the steep staircase and out
into the wintry street B. A. Key in Long
man's Magazine,
Patent Leather la Cold Weather.
To wear patent leathers in winter time
and to keep them bright and uncracked
requires care and eternal vigilance. Kub
them when dulled with a little milk, and
when they are not in use keep them in a
warm room. Always warm slightly be
fore putting upon the feet On very cold
days it Is a good plan to leave one's patent
leathers at borne, because a trip into the
atmosphere of zero will almost assuredly
cause them to crack. Stuffing the toes of
patent leather shoes with cotton will keep
them from bending and cracking New
York World.
Tbtte very oonfldent people are strange
ly self-satisfied until danger to life looms
up, as when tbs chronic pains of many
years' endurance attaok tbs heart, like
Hiieumatlsm very often does, then they
turn to a better faith. Thlt better faith
held to by many thouHundt is simple and
certain. It it faith founded on experience
that St. Jaoobt nil will cure, because it has
cured all these paimul ailments perma
nently. It Is a faith founded on reason,
We know what can be done bv what hea

sioian knows that those who have belief in

An Anecdote of Duma.
Sneaking of Alexandre Dumas, Dr. Ed
ward Pick says that his chief characteristic
was bis utter disregard of money. He mad
millions, but never had a franc at bis com
mand. "For example," said he, "upon one
occasion Dumas had invited company to
dinner, and finding that he did not stand
possessed of a single cent drove to a friend's
and asked him to loan blin 2 louis. This
Ids friend readily did, and us Dumas was
taking his leave suggested, as he had Just
been getting some very fine pickles, he
would be glad to gie him a jar to add U
his dinner. The servant was sent for the
pickles, and when he put the jar in the car
riage, having no other change about him,
he dropped the 2 louis iu the man's hand."
