Forbidding the Bans
It Is usually considered that the dif-
ficult problem In getting married Is la
finding some one to have you, but In
Farmington, Me., it is different, ac-
cording to the Kennebec Journal.
There, if both are wlllln' and bo sig-
nify to the town clerk, it doe3 not set- j
tlo the matter, as proved in two in-
A Hero Lost
and Won
stances recently. In one case the bo- lot worth while.
"Don't trouble yourself, 'Titia, it's
loctmen of the town Interfered; in the
second instance, where the would-be
bride had been a widow Just four-
teen days, a written notice was filed
with the town clerk, worded as fol-
lows: "To Louis Voter, town clerk:
We hereby file the following caution
with you not to Issue a certificate, to
and , for this reason, that
Mrs. 's husband has just passed
away, and his mother feels very
much grieved in having the marriage
take place at present." Signed by
Bix names.
It is well that there is no one with-
out a fault, for he would not have a
friend in the world. He would seenj

Strong Language.
Fredericksburg, Ind., June 20.—Rev.
Enoch P. Stevens of this place uses
strong language In speaking of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and he gives good rea-
sons for what he pays:
"1 can't praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
too much." says Mr. Stevens. "They
have done me so much good. I was
troubled with my kidneys so much
that I had to get up two or three times
in the night and sometimes in the
day when starting to the waterhouse
the water would come from me before
getting there. Two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured me entirely.
"I have recommended Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills to many people and have
never yet heard of a failure. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are the things for kid-
ney disease and rheumatism."
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
the kidneys. Good kidneys ensure
pure blood. Pure blood means good
health.
A beautiful eye makes silence elo-
quent; a kind eye makes contradic-
tion an assent; an enraged eye makes
beauty deformed. The eye speaks a
language in which there can be no de-
ceit. nor can a skillful observer b«
imposed upon by looks.

A Good Fruit Country
BENNINGTON: William Medell,
a farmer living near here, brough In
some fi:.e damson plums, some o|
them measuring six and a half inches
lu circumference and weighing two
and a half ounces. Mr. Medill has
several trees of this variety and says
he intends to plant 100 more. This
Is certainly a fine fruit and vegetable
country, as is clearly shown by the
fine fruits that are being brought In.
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with tho new
things of everyday use in the market
and who Is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because It Is
guaranteed by the manufacturers to
bo superior to any other brand, but
because each 10c package contains 1C
or.s.. while all other brands contain
but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the
lady who once uses Defiance Starch
will n.-se no other. Quality and quan-
tity must win.
The story is told of a meeting of
creditors who were trying to settle tho
affairs of a merchant who had failed
for a largf amount. He Inisted that
his assets were absolutely nothing—
that his wife owned the house in
which ho lived; that tlio family farm
was the property of his daughter; that
the store belonged to his son. "I have
nothing," he *nit!, "except my body,
which you can divide among you/

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because It
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 01 —one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up In % pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, lo
cents. Thon again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all Injurious chem-
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-or. paeknge It is because he ha*
a tock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts In Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package In large let
ters and flsrnres "16 oss." Demand
iDefiance and save much time ana
money and the annoyance of the iron
■licking. Defiance never sticks.
"Oh, yes, Mother Ann, the doctor
said you mustn't fail to take the medi-
cine regularly, and we want you to
get well and up again as soon as pos-
sible. Besides, it's no trouble.
Here letitia—Letitia Ward—bent
over the white, tidy bed and touched
a murky, amber draught to the thin,
dry. purple Hps of the woman whom
she had addressed as "Mother Ann,
known to others as Ann Beard. The
thin, gray hair, lying Bmoothly over
the sides of a brown, wrinkled fore-
head, and the tough cords fluting the
brown neck, betokened in M. s. Beard
a life's struggle of not less than sev-
enty years; but the fever of disease
had kindled in her large, staring, black
eyes a brightness beyond that of
youth. A gentle smile subdued this
brightness a little and Imparted a
passing life to the lips as Mrs. Beard.
after submissively swallowing the
draught, Baid:
"No, 'Titia, I'm not unchecrful. The
nearer the end comes the more grate-
ful it is. I'm ready to go."
One has no answer at hand for ex-
pressions of willingness to die; the
handy answers have to do with one
form or another of the all but uni-
versal eagerness to live. Letitia was
silent.
"There's none but you, 'Tltla, for
me to live for now," Mrs. Beard con-
tinued, "and to you I could only be-
come more and more of a burden.'
"No, no. you will never " hut the
faithful Letitia was stopped In her
protest by a sudden upwelllng of
tears. To conceal them she turned
to an old bureau and made a show of
setting to rights the never-disordered
half-dozen medicine vials and worn
black Bible that stood on a coarsely
netted white mat, spread over the top.
The bureau had a bowed front, vo-
neered in black cherry and dotted
with glass drawer knobs, and it and
the bedstead, with short, round maple
posts, and the three green, split-bot-
tomed chairs were the only furniture
in the room. There was not even a
carpet; but the oak floor was shining-
ly clean, and it was saved from com-
plete bareness by a fresh but somber
rug or two. The walls and the low
ceiling were sheeted with white
boards that now began to warp, but
shone, cool, pure and pleasant in a
new coat of whitewash.
Yes, all I love, save you, 'Titia,
have gone before," resumed Mrs.
Beard, "and I'm hungry to see them—
to see my hero—our hero, 'Titia, for
he's yours as well as mine—our brave
soldier, Levi!" A rapturous light
overspread and glorified her gannt old
face, as If a heavenly vision had
dawned upon it. Letitia, now openly
weeping, came and took her hand,
saying:
"Yes, surely, Mother Ann. my hero,
too—our brave soldier, Levi! Oh, let
me go with you!"
"Ah, Tltla, one must bide one's
time, awaiting the will of the Lord
patiently. But, poor soul, you'll be
quite alone when I'm gone. You must
find yourself a husband—a protector."
Letitia dropped the wasted hand she
was stroking and drew back a little.
"Be faithless to Levi?" she exclaimed.
"I suggest It only for your good,"
returned Mrs. Beard. "Women usual-
ly think it no sin to take a second
husband; and to Levi you were not
married, only promised."
"In the eye of heaven, I was mar-
ried. But, no matter for that. When
the word came that Levi had fallen
I said to myself, 'You've no right to
go about trying to make life pleasant
for yourself after this. 'Tisn't as if
be had died naturally. He has given
his life away—given It for his coun
try. You'll not be worthy of him,
really true to him, if you use yours
only to your own comfort.'"
"'Twas said nobly, my child, and
you've lived true to It. Little com
fort you've had from that day to this
—nearly thirty years—except what
comes from giving comfort to others,
To me you've been ion and daughter
both." And Mrs. Beard extended her
hand feebly to find repose for it again
In Letttla's. "A sad lot his death made
for us, 'Tltla—sadder for you, per-
haps, than for me. But I have never
regretted him. I'm a plain woman,
unschooled; but from the moment
Levi was born I dreamed of some sort
of glory for him. I don't quite know
how, but he seemed made for it. You
remember, ho was never like others."
"No, he wasn't, Mother Ann. Never
was there such another." assented
Letitia, tenderly smoothing the gray
hair over the brown forehead.
"Well, the glory came; not as I
dreamed of It, for it cost him his life.
But life ain't much, 'Titia, when you
think of it. Perhaps if he'd lived he
wouldn't have been to us what he Is.
In my darkest hour the thought of
him has given mo pride and courage
and Joy."
Whether from the exertion of talk-
ing. or from the excitement of think-
ing. Mrs. Beard here fell Into a vio-
lent fit of coughing. Letitia was
gr«atly alarmed. After supplying all
tho remedies known to her, she ran
out of doors and called to a neighbor
to go for the doctor. When she re-
turned the coughing had ceased, and
she let herself hopo that the danger
had passed. But Mrs. Beard was
much exhausted and lay gasping for
breath, the perspiration standing In
cold drops on her face. When sha
could command a little strength, she
drew Letitia down to her and whis-
pered. brokenly: "My time has come,
'Titia; I'll tell Levi how true you have
been—to mo und to him." Then she
sank Into a soft sleep, fr ;n which
her eyes were opened only by the
severing of the cord of life itself.
When the news came from one ol
the early battles of the war that Levt
Beard was among the missing t^ere
was great excitement in the pleacsnt
little town where he had uis home.
His enlistment had occasioned more
stir than that of many another able-
bodied yonng man; for Ann Beard, a
moat worthy and capable person her-
self, had had such a notoriously hard
life of It through the faults and fail
ures of her husband, Daller, that the
whole town sympathized with her and
rejoiced In the promise that Levi be-
gan to give of mending the fortunes
of the family. There was another son
and also a daughter; but both, by
their sinking chests, brightening eyes
and flushing cheeks, gave all too cer-
tain tokens of succumbing early to
the pulmonary weakness that had
ravaged Mrs. Beard's family through
several generations, and both had
gone to their graves, almost hand in
hand, by the time when Levi was re-
ported among the lost In battle.
Thus, In the general estimation, as
well as Mrs. Beard's own, it was as
if in Levi a widowed mother had sacri-
ficed to her country her sole depend-
ence. Other households in the town
suffered by the war, but by common
consent hers was the richest sacrifice.
So in after years, when the whole con-
flict with all its tfruel pains had be-
come a glorious memory, she was
placed In the very front, though In
some suitably modest wise, of the re-
curring celebrations. She became to
the town as the first volunteer, or
the oldest veteran, or a captured piece
of artillery, and was cherished and
paraded accordingly. That these at-
tributes to herself on Levi's account
Intensified the halo with which her
Imagination had encircled his loss, is
more than like; but, despite her hum-
ble lot, she was a woman of warm
and aspiring spirit and quite capable
of dreaming, as. In her last moments
sho had confessed to Letitia Ward
that she had done from his birth, of
something glorious for him.
Letitia Ward herself, as the be-
trothed of the fallen young hero, had
a constant, though humbler share In
the community's sympathy and honor.
Indeed, her relation to him was not
the least of those adjuncts which car-
ried it out of the crowd of casualties
by war and gave it a special interest.
And when, after Daller's tardy death,
Letitia, being then the last of her
own family, went to live with and take
care of Ann. they became one in the
community's reverence £nd guardian-
ship.
When the first stun of the news had
been somewhat recovered from, and
a little thought could be taken, a brief
comfort was drawn from the fact that
Levi was reported among the missing
and not among the killed. But Boon
there came a letter from a fellow-
townsman and comrade which said
that he was at Levi's side when he
fell—dead, apparently, though there
was no time then to stop and make
sure. Later the comrade had come
back, but it was in the night, and
ne couldn't be certain that he found
the right place. At any rate, he
didn't find Levi. But he .had no
doubt himself that Levi was killed.
It was Levi's first battle into which
he was marching when he fell. As he
moved along he caught himself won-
dering whether he should be afraid.
He was not afraid now; he was sure
of that. But would he be? He
wished the men about him would stop
their reckless talk, or. at least, not
try to draw him Into It; for he felt
himself burning and freezing by turns
with a sort of nausea and scarcely
able to speak. There came a scream
of shells in the air. and a weakness,
almost overpowering, seized his knoes
He could not be well, he fancied; he
had never grown tired in so short a
march before. He felt a sharp pain
in his chest, on the left side. It must
be heart disease; or. perhaps, he had
been hit by a stray bullet. A shell
burst, as It seemed. In his very eyes.
With frightened cries the line broke.
Everything grew black before him.
He knew no more.
At first, on coming out of the faint
in which he had fallen, he did not
dare to lift his head, lest he add new-
pangs to the wound that he was sure
was torturing him. if not making off
with his life. Then, gathering cour-
age to cast a few fearful glances
about he found himself entirely alone,
his attention fixed on a piece of under-
brush near by, which promised great-
er security than the open in which
he lay. Prying himself forward with
hands, elbows and hips, as one who
has lost all use of the Teet and legs,
he made his way into it.
The noise of the battle diminished.
He fell into a light sleep, out of which
he came so much refreshed that ho
fould pluck up heart to Investigate his
Injuries. Arms, legs, body, he touched
tenderly, then rubbed, then kneaded,
without the least pain. This embol-
dened him to rise to his feet, and still
he felt no pain.
He was dumbfounded. The trouble
must be In his brain. Tearing off his
cap he began to finger cautiously over
his scalp. From base to crown, from
crown to brow, every knob and gully
was faithfully explored, as If he had
been his own phrenologist; but no
clotted or bleeding aperture appeared
That he should be perfectly unhurt
was so Incredible that for the moment
he doubted whether he was alive.
It was not entirely pleasant, either.
He coveted nothing extravagant or ex
treirte, like dismemberment or lasting
disfigurement. But some swift-heal
Ing. not too painful disability, he did
covet, as the only escape from a situ
ation now grown embarrassing. Such
t\ disability he even contemplated In-
flicting by his own hand. That is, he
let nl.n sjlf wonder whether It conld
lie so inflicted without much dl*com
fort, an attitude toward the deed that
perhaps insured its not being under
taken as certainly as never having
thought of It.
Six or eight soldiers, some strag-
gling remnant of the fighting column
some vagrant detachment of the am
bulance corps, or he knew not what,
came In sight. All dismayed, he
tucked himself more closely In the
underbrush, and relaxed Into a3 death-
like a posture as he could feign. But
he was not discovered.
What should he do? Whatever he
did he was In disgrace. Long hours
he lay hidden, anxious, thinking. All
sound of the battle ceased; the <hlght
fell dark and rainy.
About the time when Levi's friends
at home were reading the letter that
confirmed their worst fears, the actual
Levi came stealthily and deviously to
the borders of that country for which
he was supposed to have died, and
crossed obscurely Into Mexico. All
but sinking under the hardships of his
Journey, under shame, under home-
sickness. he found work In the mines.
The home-sickness continued to plague
him long. It filled his days and
nights with dreams of return. But
these dreams, by and by. grew fan-
tastic. bedecking the return with im-
possible splendor and triumphs. Then
they began to die away, and finally, In
the flight of years, the town at his
youth and all whom it contained be-
came as offensive to his thoughts as
a past misdeed.
Meanwhile the man prospered fabu-
lously. Crowned a heaven-anointed
"king" of silver and lead In the moun-
tains of Mexico, he came back over
the border, and made conquest on the
American plains of a "kingship" in
cattle and sheep. Then followed a
local princedom, with promise of full
kingly succession, in railroads.
The stern law against deserters
had long since ran out. But Levi
would scarcely have regarded it now,
if it had not. Growing in wealth, he
had grown In self-confidence, and van-
ity and time together had finally
wrought a rare enchantment In the
memory of that unholy day In the un-
derbrush. A voice out of heaven
could not have persuaded him now
that he had not been hit; that he had
not wandered away and lived for
weeks unconscious under the stun of
the blow. Even yet he sometimes felt
the throb of It In his brain. It would
probably be the cause of his death,
when in the fulness of years that be-
fell.
Near the day when Ann Beard was
calmljs setting off on the mysterious
Journey that must, as she fancied, re-
unite her to her glorified son, a great
Jubilee was In progress In the hastily
thrown together metropolis of one of
the youthful states. Flags fluttered In
the breeze, a small cannon roared at
Intervals from the river bank, crowds
pressed and surged, and a band
groaned in the streets. The uproar
was at Its loudest when there ap-
peared on a forum. Improvised at the
Junction of two roadways, tho Mayor
of the town, who. by dint of much rap-
ping with a walking-stick upon a deal
table suspiciously abounding in circu-
lar stains over its face, secured at
length sufficient mitigation of the
noise to enable a few people near him
to hear him say that they were assem-
bled to celebrate an event whose im- I
portance could not be overestimated,
since not this citizen or that, but the
whole broad land, profited when a
great public trust was placed in
worthy hands. This happy end, the
Mayor confessed, had not been at-
tained without "a little bitterness;"!
but this, he was sure, would now "be !
laid aside," and all honorable men
unite In upholding the hands of the
lawfully designated choice of the peo-
ple—a pen tic in an who was the peer
of any in Intelligence and character
Had he not, the Mayor asked in his
proudest tone, had he not. as a mere
stripling, bared his breast to the lead-
en hail in defense of country and prin-
ciple?" And now, to the Imperilment
of his vast private interests, he again
responded to his country's call and en-
listed himself In the service of his fel-
low citizens. And with this the Mayor
seized the pleasure of presenting "the
new representative in Congress."
In tne man wno came forward the
friends of his youth would never have
recognized Levi Beard. But It was he.
nevertheless. He proceeded to ex-
press with dne effusion his sense of
gratitude and responsibility. Then,
adverting to the Mayor's grac.'nus
mention of his "humble services In
the dark hour of the nation's peril."
he modestly said that It was not for
htm to dwell upon those services;
such as they were, his country was
thrice welcome to them, and he could
but wish that they had been greater.
A shout of delight went up from the
crowd.
Letitia Ward. In the Blmple humble-
ness of her heart, has always disap-
proved of the meddling of women in
men's affairs. Living on alone In Ann
Beard's hovel, she attends to her
household tasks and leaves the coun-
try to the care of whomsoever It con-
cerns. She has never known the nam«
of the honorable gentleman who rep-
resents her own district in Congress.
Little likely Is she ever to learn thst
of the representative of a district far
away. But should she by any chance
learn the name, nothing but a rend-
ing in twain of the highest heaven
would admit of her Levi Beard's fall-
ing back to the sad, inglorious earth.
Little likely too Is she ever to read,
with any personal Interest, what chlv
alrous newspaper correspondents are
now and then saying, that Congress-
man Levi Beard owes his elevation In
no small degree to his wife, a woman
of great spirit and cleverness and as
dexterous a politician as Mr. Beard
I himself.—The Ledger Monthly.
Make Trampa Sprint for Liberty
Mayor Vance of Selma, N. C., has de-
vised an original plan for making
tramps fight shy of the town. The
railroad runs straight through the
place, and along the track is a street
half a mile long. Tramps upon ar-
rest are allowed by the mayor to run
a race for freedom, the last man in
the contest to go to 'the road" for
thirty days. The tramps are lined
up at the town hall, while a police-
nan is stationed at the boundary |
line, half a mile away. The tramps
run with all their might, and the win-
ners are seen no more, while the
watching policeman captures the last
man, who is sent to "the road."
