Story of a Want Ad. | team by that time was in misei -
On I lie moi ning of September able condition, and feil into the
D, 1K93, the following advertise h inds of the authorities. Horses
ment appeared in the “Lost and and wagon were turned over to
Found” column of the Chicago D. L. Marks, a liveryman, for
Tribune: " care and attention.
Lost—Sept. 7, in Ladies Toilet, While the wagon was being
Marine cafe, World’s Fair, three cleaned out Marks noted b>
rings; [$100 reward will be paid,
to party returning same to man-
ager Waukesha Hotel, near Oath
St entrance, or Mrs. 11. C. Turn-
er, 1004 3d Ave., Louisville , Ky. 1
After a lapse of nineteen years
tl is little “want ad” has proved
the means of restoring to Mrs.
Turner her lost jewelry. The
story makes a very pretty ro
uiance.
Mrs. Turner at the time she
lost her gems was a visitor at
the great World’s Fair which
was then in progress in Chicago.
Mrs. It L. Marks of San Fran,
cisco, also a visitor at the big ex
position, found them She ad-1
vortjsed for the owner but re
e *i/ed no response. Mrs. Turn-
er returned to Louisville and
failed to see M rs. Marks adver*
t iseme ' t s. She had long aban
doned all expectation of over re
covering her rings again, nor is
it in the least likely that she
would have done so had not an
Illinois man named M c Fad den
derided to go west.
Me Fad den made the trip in
his farm wagon, over the top of
which he had stretched a tar
paulin, converting ii into a prai-
rie schooner. The floor of the
wagon was in bad condition, so
McFadden laid newspapers over
it to keep ouU draughts, lie
jurneyed from place to place
searching for a domicile, and fi-
nally after a very wearing trip
reached San Francisco. His
chance that one of the newspa-
pers taken from it was a Chicago
Tribune, and upon picking it up
he discovered that the date was
the 9th of September, 1903, and
he recalled that it was just at
the time that he and his wife
had been visitors at the World’s
Fair, and out of idle curiosity he
turned to the “List and Found”
j department to see if possibly
there might be anything there
aoout the rings his wife had
found. There his eye lighted
upon the advertisement above.
A letter written to the chief of
police of Louisville soon put Mrs.
Marks in correspondence with
Mrs. Turner, who had removed
to a suburb of the Kentucky
city, and the long lost jewels
were restored. It hid taken
the “want ad” some time to do
its work in this particular case,
but even'then. the jewels being
valued by Mrs. Turner at S15,-
000. she is very well satisfied,we
understand, with the interest on
the invest ment.
We scarcely think that such
lessons as the incident suggests
need any elucidation at our
hands. The sto*-y is an enter-
taining one in itself and we shall
not mar the telling by pausing
by pausing to point out morals
which should be perfectly obvi-
ous.—Publisher’s Auxiliary.

Hdap Big Men
There are a heap of men who
thiuk they are big enough to run
this state. They are sweating
blood in an effort to make otbet-
folks believe that same thing.
Most of these big men are “big”
in the same way that a eerai- .
Ohio office seeker was “big.” He
had helped elect McKinley and
had gone down to Washington to
pick out a job for himself. And
down there they had him sized
with moderate accuracy. He
was very modest. He said that
he kne*v his inability to speak
German would prevent his being
appointed minister to Berlin.
Therefore be would have to con
tent himself with being minister
to London. The officials looked
at him with astonishment. Then
they said: “Don’t you know that
we have got to have a big man
for that place. ” With equal as
tonishment he nine back with
the exclamation: “Gracious
goodness! If I land this place
I’ll be a big man, won’t V?” A
majority of the “big” men in
public office today are only “big”
in the same way.
John W. Sickelsmith, Greens-
boro. Pa., has three children,
and like most children they fre-
quently take cold. “We have
tried several kinds of cough med
icine,” he says, “but have never
found any jet that did them as
much good as Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy.” For sale by
All Dealers.
Unfortunately one does not
have to stand an examination as
to his moral character bvfore he
becomes a teacher in the school
of experience.
Do you know that of all the
minor ailments colds are by far
the most dangerous? It is not
the cold itself that you need to
fear, but the serious diseases
that it often leads to. Most of
these are known as germ dis
eases. Pneumonia and consump
tion are among them. Why not
take Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
edy and cure your cold while you
can? For sale by All Dealers.

of provisions at the South Pole

might make quite a hit by re
turning with credentials in the

A New York chef, who has
sailed for his old h ime, in Switz-
erland, said before departing
that American business men de-
manded much plainer food than
a few years ago. Simple food
that is digestible is what they
want.
If you have trouble in getting
rid of your cold you may know
that you are not treating it prop
erly. There is no reason why a
cold should hang on for weeks
and it will not if you take Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy. For
sale Joy All Dealers.

GLORIOUS NEWS
comes from Dr. J. T. Curtiss,
Dwight, Kan. He writes: “I
not only have cured bad cases of
eczema in my patients with Elec-
tric Bitters, but also cured my
self by them of the same disease.
I feel sure they will benefit any
case of eczema.” This shows
what thousands have proved,
that Electric Bitters is a most
effective blood purifier. Its an
excellent remedy for eczema,
tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils
and running sores. It stimu-
lates liver, kidneys and bowels,
expels poisons, helps digestion,
builds up the strength. Price

Thank God every morning
when you get up that you have
something to do that day which
must be done whether you like
it or not. Being forced to work,
and forced to do your best, will
breed in your temperance and
self-control, diligence and
strength of will, cheerfulness
and content, and a hundred vir-
ues which the idle never know.
— Charles Kingsley.
