DID THE HANDSOME THING.
1 Murry Inn Minister Who Found Xu
Fault with t.u in 111 In k
Fbruti.
In a volume ol reminiscence* just pub-
i»heU entitled: "The Wedding Day in Lit-
iruture and Art" a minister relate* his ex-
perience with two weddings in the same
own on the same day, one in the morn-
ug, one in the atternoon. "The tirst wed-
ling fee I received was $10," he auys, “n very
urge remuneration for the place and pen-
ale. After the second wedding the best
nan called me into a private room and
'.bus addressed me:
“ 'What's the tax, parson?'
“ ‘Anything you like, or nothing at-all, 1
inawered. (Fhuve frequently received noth-
^ ‘Now,’ said hf, ‘we want to do this
thing up in style, but 1 have had no ex-
perience in this business and do not know
what is proper. You name your figure.'
"1 suggested that the legal charge was
two dollars.” , ,
“ 'l'shaw,' he said. ‘This am t legal. We
want to do something handsome.’
“ -Go ahead and do it,’ I said. Whereupon
le reflected a moment and then asked me
how much 1 had received for the wedding
of the morning.
“ 'Ten dollars,' 1 replied.
"His face brightened at once. Here waa
l solution to the difficulty. .
“ 'I'll see his ante,’ he temarkef, raise

handed me $15."

arid felt the warmth of her breath on
his luce. They had stood and chatted
for awhile unil then they liutl parted,
lie had not seen her slime, for she was
at school in Itoston, but he had never
forgotten the glory of tier deep, gray
eyes, the infinite sweetness and
beauty of her face. A thousand times
since Unit moment he had wondered
if she. too. remembered. Sometimes
when his hopes were brightest he fan-
cied that she did that she must if

"So you have gone out on the north shore
to live, have you, old man?" said a North
aide young man to a friend who had gone
with his family to Kenilworth to spend
the summer, relates the < Im ago Chronicle.
"Yes, we have taken a house tor the sum-
mer close to the edge of the lake and 1 tell
you it is bully, immense. It is great, for the
old man has improved in health out there
till he is getting as frisky as a schoolboy,
lie said1 before we moved that if lie could
onlv get where he could hear the surt when
he woke up mornings that it would do him
a world of good. The first morning after we
got there lie woke up about five o’clock and
called out to motlieT, who was s-till asleep:
" ‘Say. nm, do you hear that surf coming
in on the shore? 1-n’t that the grandest
thing you ever heard?'
"Ma protested that she didn't hear any
surf and- wasn't listening for any. Father
sighed and went to sleep again, lulled by the
music of what he declared was the surf.
The door of his room was open and he sim-
ply heard the swish of our little housemaid’s
broom over the carpet downstairs. She gets
up early every morning to do the front
rooms and her broom makes the finest imi-
tation of the surf you ever heard.
“Now, if pa wakes up when it isn’t sweep-
ing day and kicks l.-ecause there isn’t any
surf on ma just steps to the speaking tube
in the next room and tells Martha to sweep
up a little surf and father is soon asleep
again.” _ _

To Mothers of Large Families.
In this workaday world few women
are so placed that physical exertion
is not constantly demanded of them
in their daily life.
Mrs. Pinkham makes a special appeal
to mothers of large families whose
work is never done, and many of
whom suffer, and suffer for lack of
L *
intelligent aid.
To women.
young or old, rich or
poor, Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass.,
extends her invitation of free adviee.
Oh, women ! do not let your lives be
sacrificed when a word from Mrs.
Pinkham, at the first approach of
Mas. Cabbie Belleville.
Weakness, may fill your future years

CHAPTERL
Old Jason Funshnw sat at an open
window, his fat legs ou the sill. As
,e talked, liis hearers in the big bare
room drowsed, nodded or stared at
him with lack-luster eyes. He usually
held forth on Sundays when the law
and the Lord prohibited work and there
was nowlicie to go.
On this sultry afternoon his theme
was his own misfortune in being bur-
dened with a family that contributed
naught to liis desires. He had never,
n exact words, voiced their shortcomi-
ngs, but iu his seeret soul lie would
have had them perhaps less like him-
self, certainly less like his wife, who
weighed 2U0 if she weighed a pound.
The two girl*. Mary Lou, iigcd IS
ind Ann Josephine, 20, threatened, as
their bedslat* continued to break, to
surpass their mother in the flesh Huy
were heir to, and in addition to this
impediment to activity and cncourager
if sloth, they had come honestly by a
combination of their father's tow-col-
ored and their mother’s red hair, which
tittle suited their ilorid complexions.
They had. also, freckles as big as pock-
marks, which a diligent application of
"stump water” had failed to dim.
F'ansliaw had two sons. Ronald, the
eldest child, was not in the room.
David, a lusty fellow built on Ids fa-
ther’s plan, but with a more cheerful
face, was lying on the high-posted bed
in the corner of the room. lie always
hurled into his father's tirades against
his family comments in favor of his
brother, whom lie admired intensely.
'You eayn't complain of Ron,” he
said this afternoon, as he fanned the
flies from his face with his big straw-
hat lined with blue calico. "He looks
after his own business. Mr. Hague
said Saturday before last thal he’d
rut her have Ron rent land from ’im
than any man in the country. He
Towed Ron paid every dollar he <*>n-
traeted to pay an’ that the niggers
liked Tin so much that they’d work
twice as hard for Tin as they would for
anybody else.”
“That don't do me no good.” snarled
Fanshaw.
"No, 1 reckon not,” admitted Dave,
"but you won’t ever be ashamed of
'im, if you are of the rest of us. He's
been readin’ and study-in' every spare
minute sence he was knee high to a
grasshopper. For the last six months
Mr. Redding, the best lawyer in Dan-
ube, has been providin' 'im with books,
an' my idea is that, he is goin' to make
a lawyer out'n hisse'f. You eayn't
hold ’im down: he’ll rise like a cork;
an’ as fur good looks, geewhilikins!
Did I ever tell you-unswhat happened
at campmeetin'? 1 was a settin' un-
der the bush arbor about four benches
from the front last Sunday was a
week when Ron come in dyked out-
in his best Sunday clothes. You ort
to a-seed how the folks turned their
heads. A young dude behifid me axed
a man next to 'im who in the thunder
that was, an’ the fellow said he wasn’t
certain, but he Towed it was some
chap visitin’ at Col. Hasbrooke’s from
Boston or New York. Then it was my
put in. 1 bent over an’ informed ’em
that it was Ronald Fanshaw, the old-
est son of Jason Fanshaw. An’ you
ort to a-heerd 'em giggle. Then the
man that had axed the question come
back at me fairly slobberin’ in the
mouth to keep from laughin’ out loud.
“ ‘You're away off, my friend.’ sez
1-c: ‘you shorely ain't acquainted ’bout
heer. Old Fanshaw is the daddy of the
sorriest lay-out on the face of crea-
tion. 1 hain’t never been to his side-
show myself, but I know a heap o' folks
that has paid tlie’r way an’ never axed
fur the money back, nut her.’
Then I jest punched ray face over
to his yeer an’ said, I did: T ort to
know ’im,’ I says, tetehin’ the butt
o’ my pistol. ‘He's my brother, an'
when mectin’ is over me’n you'll go
int-o the sideshow fur a minute; the
tent's stretched right out thar in the
bushes an’ the latest addition to it is
a Buffalo Bill dead shot.’
"He wilted an’ got as white as the
inside of a cucumber, an’ then the
preacher axed everybody to kneel down
and pray. I was axin’ the Lord to
bless my purpose when them two riz
an’ poled it out over the straw. I half
way got up, but the preacher broke
off in his prayer an’ begun to talk
about the law agin disturbin' public
worship, an’ 1 sunk down on my knees
an’ seed them two mount an’ gallop off
like the woods was afire.”
"You ort to a-mashed ’is teeth down
his throat,” said Mrs. F’anshaw.
"Folks has poked too much fun at us
to suit me. In war times you wouldn't
a-stood it. Jade." She called her hus-
band Jade, not because he was tired
or was a horse, but because it was tliB
only abbreviation of the name she
knew.
An expression of hot fury lay on
Fanshaw's wrinkled face a* he looked
cut into the yard where half a hundred
ducks, turkeys, guinea-hens and pea-
cocks were feasting on the remains of
the watermelon the family had just
eaten. “My Lord," he grunted, “ef T
took folks to taw- ever’ time they joked
about you-uns. I'd have my hands full.”
“Well, they’d better not let me heer
’em throwin’ off on us,” declared Dave,
and he stood up and stretched him*=lf.
“But when you come to think of it,Ron
is so different from the rest of us that
it's no wonder folks take 'im for one
o’ that highfalutin' crowd. 1 fell you,
he's no slouch!”
Dave went out into the back porch,
•where a stream of water shot from
the end of a hcllow log into a trough;
the water came from a spring on a hill-
side half a mile distant. The inventor of
this crude aqueduct was Ronald Fan
considered u marvel of convenience by
the neighbors. While it was building,
Jason Fanshaw hud contributed many
peevish objections to the work, which
lie considered a waste of time, but w hen
the clear, cold water gushed out at liis
door, lie melted under a blase of won-
der. and now no stranger ever eame to
his house who was not shown “the wa-
terworks."
"Huh," lie would exclaim with pride
“nobody else has got a spring on his
land high enough fur such a thing. ( ol.
llnsbrookc would pay no end o’ money
ef he could have it. He has to keep two
niggers busv tillin' hi* tank an then lIn*
w ater's stale an' hot. You see, w e sunk
our pipes so deep Hint the waters us
cold as ice."
A hundred yards from the house
was a dense wood which stretched on
to a small river a mile away, anil fur-
ther on to a high mountain, ami here
Dave found liis brother lying on tin-
grass reading his Biui-kstone. In his
unlikeress to his family lie was an
anomaly; lie was over six leet in height,
will built, slender, (lark of complex-
ion. hair and e.\ cs. There was in the
shapely prominence of ills brow a sug-
gestion oT strong mentality one might
look for in vain in any of the other
Fanshaw.*: his limbs had the slight
strong look of a blooded horse; a palm
ist would have said that ills hands in-
dicated the possession of a refined, sen
sitive spirit.
“Oh. 1 had no idea you was heer!
exclaimed Dave. "I jest thought I’d
take a walk to git away from nil that
clatter up at the house. An’ to tel!
you the truth. I've got a quart hid in
that stump tliar; don't you want to
wet yore whistle, as the feller said
r have to keep it hid from the old man;
he’s too all-fired stingy to buy whisky,
but lie loves it like a liog does slop.”
"You know I never drink," replied the
other, firmly. His words formed a
striking contrast to the dialect of his
brother; there was a vague sadness of
tone in liis voice, and liis eyes drooped
as if they were weary of the print upon
which they hud been resting.
“Well, I reckon you won’t mind ef I
take a pull at it," said Dave. "I'm dry
as a powder-horn.” He removed a flat
stone from the hollow of the stump
and took out his flask. “Here's lookin'
at you," atul the neck of the bottle went
into liis mouth.

About it week after this he heard
thut she was home again to remain,
her school days being 'over. His in*
formant also told him that Curnlelgh

Hardy, « cotton merchant of Charles-
ton, who was supposed to be a suitor
for tin- hand of the colonel's eldest
daughter, enrollin’, and Capt. Charles
Winkle, who owned a. fine plantation
five miles beyond the mountain and
was believed to be uu admirer of the
voung debutante.
Ronald was longing to see Evelyn
again, but lie met the two sisters and
their escorts sooner than he desired
He haii taken hi* books and fishing
tackle to n shady nook on the rivei
bank and was just- getting settled
when In heard merry laughter in the
wood between the river and the road
m.d a moment later the two couples
emerged from the tangle of cane, vines
and foliage. Instinctively Ronald drew
bis wide-brimmed straw hat down over
liis eyes, and Evelyn did not recog-
nize him for u moment. He had re-
solved that he should never speak to
her ngain unless she showed a dispo-
sition to renew their informal ac-
quaintance, and he was averse to put-
ling her to the test before the oth-
ers. But Capt. Winkle knew by sight
(lie did not bother himself with their
names) nearly all of what he jocularly
termed "the white trash of that see-
lion, and he usually addressed them
without ceremony or courtesy. For a
moment he paused watching Ronald’s
line, and then he asked:
"Are they biting, my man?”
Ronald felt the hot blood of anger
rush to his face and his fingers tight-
ened on his rod. It was on his tongue
to retort sharply, but Evelyn’s pres-
ence helped him control his temper.
He made no reply. Capt. Winkle curled
his mustache with liis white fingers;
he thought the fisherman had not heard
his question.
“I see you have some bait, my good
fellow," lie said in a louder tone. "Will
you lei me have some of your crickets?

the captain tossed n silver coin on the
grass near Ronald. There was a pause.
Ronald was conscious that Evelyn and
Mr. Hardy hud moved on and that Miss
Caroline was waiting for Winkle. Then

“You are welcome to them,” lie said.
"I should liute to see Indies lose their
sport.”
“Ob, no, Capt. Winkle!” objected Miss
Caroline, “do not mind them; we are
very much obliged, I hear the boy com-
ing now.”
As she turned away ami the captain
was following her he looked back and
said with a sneer:
"I think, Miss Hasbrooke, that we’d
better go further down the stream;
he’ll be diving for thut money and will
frighten all the fish.”
Ronald's ear had never been so acute;
he heard Caroline Hasbrooke’s low,
guarded voice above the rustling of the
leaves against her stiff duck skirt.
‘You ought not to have noticed him,”
she said; "that's one of old man Fan-
shaw’s sons; lie has taken up the study
of law, and it. seems to have given him
the big head."
•You don't, tell me,” laughed the cap-
tain, “haw, haw!”
Then the negro boy. carrying a bas-
ket of crickets, passed at the top of liis
speed. Ronald baited his hook and
flung the line into the stream; his
hands were quivering; he was almost
beside himself with rage. The drone
of voices told him that the fishingparty
had paused about forty yards away. The
reflection of the sunlight on the faee
of the water was maddening. This,
then, was his long dreamed of meeting
with Evelyn; she would hear her sis-
ter’s account of what bad taken place
after she had moved on. Half an hour
passed; a fish nibbled at his bait, taking
his line round in a circle, but he did
not notice it. Suddenly there was a
light step on the grass near him. It was
Evelyn Hasbrooke and she came to him
with band outstretched.
"You must pardon me, Mr. Fanshaw,'
she faltered. “I did not recognize you
under that big hat. I did not know it
was you till sister mentioned it just
now."
He stood up. dropping his hat on the
ground.
“1 really did not presume that you
would care to—to renew our slight ac-
quaintance,” he stammered, red in the
face.
A pained expression passed over her
beautiful features.
"I can’t remember anything I have
done to make you think so ill of me,
Mr. Fanshaw."
She seated herself on the root of a
tree and opened the novel she held in
her hands. He found himself unable to
formulate a suitable reply and he drew
in his line and put another cricket
on his hook.
“I am afraid,” she said, searching his
face, “that Capt. Winkle offended you
just now. I am sorry that a guest of
our house should fail to treat anyone—
you especially—with due courtesy, and
1 am glad you rebuked him ns you did
“You are very kind. Miss Has-
brooke.”
“My sister is Miss Hasbrooke," she
said, with a little laugh. "I am still
little Evelyn, even if I have laid my
school books away.”
Again she had made an unanswer
able remark, and silence fell between
them. He broke it after a moment's
pause.
"But you have grown; you are" (he
wanted to say more beautiful) “differ-
ent.”
"I presume a year does change a girl,
but you are just the same, Mr. Fan-
shaw-—exactly the same.”
[To Be Continued )
New York, Oct. 27. The republican
national committee issued till* follow-
ing statement concerning the United
States army yesterday:
lie ports received from the war depart-
ment at Washington by the republican
nattonnl committee give news of t lie
gradual reduction of the forces of oc-
cupation in the army. lien. Davis, com-
manding ttio department In Porto Rico,
recommends that the troops on that ts-
Innd be withdrawn almost entirely. He
thinks 18 companies sufficient to garrison
the Island. As Porto Rteo Is an impor-
tant naval station, however, artillery-
men will be needed there still to man
the forts, especially at Han Juan. Or-
ders have been Issued for the reduction
of the troops In China and plans made
for their final withdrawal. It Is hoped
that when the election Is over the situa-
tion will Improve sufficiently In the Phil-
ippines to warrant a material reduction
of force there.
Secretary Root recently railed alten-
tlon to the fact that In the fall of 181)8.
when President McKinley recommended
the retention of 100,(XH) men in the army,
ho was arguing for a decrease and not
an increase, for then there were 272,000
men In service. The war with Spain was
not ended, for the peace treaty hail not
been ratttled. In the meantime, people
remember that, unless there Is further
legislation on the subject, the army will
drop back to Its former limit of 27,500
men next July, which Is only one-third
of what It was In proportion to the size
of the country, so great has been the
growth In population.
This makes little allowance for the
elaborate scheme of coast fortifications
proposed by the late Samuel J. Tllden for
the protection, of a peaceful republic.

of any kind, don’t put it off and
suffer, but begin to take Peruna
right away, and keep It up until
you are cured, as you surely will
be if you persevere.
“WELL. I RECKON YOU DON'T MIND."
natural to women as cluckin’ does to
liens; t lie qnly difference is hens duck
when they are busy, an’ cackle when
they’ve laid; the time to git away from
a woman’s tongue is when she's idle,
an’ that’s all the time. But, honest,
1 don't see why they won’t let you
alone. You want to read an’ study, be-
cause it suits you, an' 1 hid with you,
tooth an’ toe nail. Now, 1 had my head
set on ranch life out west, because I

Ronald Fanshaw smiled genially, but
he made no reply, and Dave sauntered
away to the river to see if his trout
lines had caught anything. When he
found himself alone our hero fell to
dreaming of his past life. Above the
tree-tops half a mile to the east, or
a slight elevation, he could sec the
high, steep roof and dormer windows
of the chief mansion of the locality,
"Carnleigh." the splendid home of the
county’s greatest planter, Col. Henry
Hasbrooke.
The house, in its silent grandeur, rep-
resenting wealth and power, had been
a potent factor in the struggles of this
voung man towards the acquisition of
things above and beyond him in the
dreamy blue realm of possibility, its
massive Corinthian columns, its vast
white proportions and its aristocratic
inmates, whom he saw driving along
the roads, told him constantly what he
and his family were not. Up to his
twenty-fifth year his fancy had dared to
play only about the exterior of 1 his old
family seat, but of late his imagination
—call it ambition, if you will, had led
him beyond the mystic portals, and he
walked there with men and ladies; lie
dined there; he discussed topics he had
read with the white-haired host; he
stood near the piano and beard Evelyn
Hasbrooke play and sing; he saw her
white hands flit over the keys, and felt
her smile up at him. And then the
bubble would burst and the grim, sor-
did contrast of his real existence would
grasp and wring the gall from hi* .-ou!
Evelyn Hasbrooke was unwittingly
responsible for these later dream.*'. He

My wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with a had cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
tin* country gave her up to die, as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with tlie result that she is better now
than she has been in years, and her cough
lias almost left her entirely. The soreness
lias left her lungs and she is as well as she
ever was in her life, with thanks, ns she says,
to l’eruna. Yours very truly,
T. P. Moody.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly be-
coming a general curse. An undoubted rem-
edy lias been discovered by Dr. Hartman.
This remedy has been thoroughly tested
during the past forty years. Prominent men
have come to know of its virtues, and are
malting public utterances on tlie subject. To
save the country we must save the people.
To save the people we nuiRt protect them
from disease. The disease that is at once the
most prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca-
tarrh.
If one were to make a list of the different
names that have been applied to ratarrh in
different locations and organs, the result
would be astonishing. We have often pub-
lished a partial list of these names, and the
surprise caused by the first publication of it
to all people, both professional and non-
professional, was amusing. And yet we

have never enumerated all of the diseases
which are classed as catarrh. It must be
confessed, however, to see even this partial
list drawn up in battle array is rather ap-
palling. If the reader desire* toseethislist,
together with a short exposition of each
one, send for our free catarrh book. Ad-
