A WOMAN'S WILL. :
"It's no use trying," said Thymic,
"mother bates me, and everything 1
do Is wrong."
"Your mother can't help it Phemle,"
said Doetor Jasper. He was the new
medical man, In huge favor with Mrs.
Albatross, Phemle's mother. "Your
mother Is highly strung—quite a wo
man of genius—and allowances must
be made for her temperament my
di>ar young lady. Temperament rules
everything."
Indeed, Mrs. Albatross' temperament
seemed to rule Doctor Jasper, the par
son the squire, the parish, but it did
not rule Phemle.
"took here," said the girl—she was
Just past twenty—"you and mother are
always croaking about me, I know,
but you 'do nothing to help me. At
least I thdnk you would, but you're
afraid—"
"Your mother used to take an inter
est in you, but you did not meet her
half way. Is not that so?"
"No, It Isn't When I was sixteen
she had a fad of dressing me up in
last century costume and making a
doll of me—not my style at all—just
to show off her own cleverness and
queerness at my expense. She said I
was ugly and only dressing could make
me fit to be seen."
"Well?" said Doctor Jasper, who
was a rislug young medico of thirty,
as be looked gravely and judiciously
at the pretty, much tried girl, who only
hall believed in his good will.
"Well," said Phemle, "every one
inughsd, and I Showed mother I would
not stand It"
"And then?"
"Then she packed me off to school.
The mistress said I was sort of dazed
for a time, as if I bad been ill treated
ami so I had—and quite neglected,
hut they were kind to me there, and
1 was very happy for more than a year
except In the holidays, which were al
ways odious. Then you came along."
And Phemle paused and stole a doubt
ful glance at the doctor.
"What then?" said the doctor, like
a iK'tson coldly Inquiring for ordinary
information, yet with a certain little
twinkle In his eye which did uot es
cape the aggrelved Phemie.
"Then," said the girl, "I thought you
were, my friend at first, but I don't
now.' At least—"
At this moment Mrs. Albatross en
tered, and, turniug sharply on Phemle,
said with a snap:
"1 suppose you haven't fed the fowls
or sorted the linen or done anything
but idle away your time, as usual?"
"I was called when Doctor Jasper
came, because you could not be
found."
"I'm sick of your excuses. Doctor
Jnsper does not wish to see you."
Then, in quite an altered tone, as
Phemle shrunk away out of the room:
"Do you mind coming up to my sit
ting room? I want to have ft talk
with you about those changes at the
infirmary. I am sure that you will
agree with me and you will be mus:
useful. We can't allow things to go
on." et cetera.
Dr. Jasper always did agree with
Mrs Albatross, but somehow he mold
ed her, and she usually came round
10 his opinion. He listened and she
talked. He could wait, and when he
had taken her bearings—without ever
interrupting or contradicting—she list
ened and he talked, and not then, but 1
uexi time, she echoed his opinions and
fancied they were all her own.
"It Is such a comfort to find a sen
sible man to talk to in a stupid place
like this," said she, laying her arm con
fidingly upon the doctor's as he sat
smiling und agreeing with her.
Mrs. Albatross had worried one hus
band into the grave—'she waß too clev
er for him—but her intellectual vlvac
■ ty, Imagination and enterprise made
her an Interesting companion. She
was only a little past forty, and very
well preserved, and she meant to mar
ry Doctor Jasper.
Whether it was hypnotism- or will
power, the doctor came again and
again and would not send In his bill,
and the doctor's bill never was paid,
lie paid himself.
"Don't speak to me," said Phemie
hurriedly, ag she met the doctor com
ing down stairs after a long confab
with her mother. "Mother's about.
She's out all to-morrow afternoon. I've
got to paint the doors." And Jospei
passed out with a sympathetic smile.
She knew be would call and advise
her about painting the doors. He did
call.
"What a deal you know about mix
ing paints and things! I'm sure I warn
good advice a great deal more than
mother does. But then, I'm not clevei
tike mother," added Phemle, with a
little aggrieved pout "So it's noi
worth while talklDg to me."
"I do feel for you," said the doctor,
with an unusual warmth of manner.
"I have done all I could to get yfiiu
mother to be fair to you, Phenllc"—
he had never called her Phemie be
fore, and sbe felt her color
"What's the matter?" he added
for suddenly Phemle's eyes filled with
bars, and she Just went off then and
there and left the paint pots and
things without saying another word.
• • •••
Doetor Jasper's visits became mors
frequent. Mrs. Albatross was con
stoutly seen about the village with
htm. They met In cottages. She wai
devoted, so she said, to nursing the
sick. It was cerlalnly a new develop
meat She was never seen with hei
daughter, nor was Jasper, but he saw
her-daughter of toner than she knew
gt ill it seemed less and less possible
to do without Mrs. Albatross. Hot
ability,. her cooked foods and pori
wine in "cases:" her Influence with
the squire, Who disliked and obeyed
her; with the parson, whose good will
was ipjportant to the doctor, and whe
was ai'. .'d of Mrs. Albatross, for she
browbeat him In the rthalr at parish
meetings, picked holes In his sermons
and the penny rendlnjrs,
which he disliked, under Ills very nose
—all Ibis nnd a good deal more—for
Mrs. Albatross was a woman and not
above feminine arts—put Ja®i>er In
rather a tight place.
He knew that Mrs. Albatross want
ed to marry him, and there were days
—yes, whole days—when he really
thought he should Ik- obliged to marry
Mrs. Albatross.
The moment came. It wits In the
little sitting room up stairs.
Something had happened. Doctor
Jasper saw that plainly enough.
The lady was flushed and excited,
and he missed the usual confidential
hand squeeze.
"I—l wanted to see you," she said,
and paused. "Nothing has come t
your ears, I suppose?"
The doctor looked inquiringly.
"Well, then, I'm dreadfully troubled,
anuoyed beyond measure, put out Ol
course, you know my maid, Susan.
She has been with mo ten years, and
Is not a gossip—"
"What on earth do you mean? Do
be plain. Surely with me you might
be quite plain." And he moved a lit
tle nearer, feeling at that moment a
curious kind of attraction which til
most compelled him to lay his hand
upon her arm and force her to b
quite honest. "Don't keep me on ten
terhooks," he said eagerly. "Tell me."
"I will," said the lady. "I feel I
can tell you anything. I don't think
I have any other friend In the world—
at least, not like you. No one under
stands me, no one has helped me as
you have, and we've got to part. Jliat
is nil—"
"What on earth?" Bald Jasper, reallj
shaken and troubled —he had nevei
seen her grow pale like that, or bet
lips quiver like that, and she was not
of the crylDg sort, and she did noi
cry now—"what—vtliat has Susan beet
saying?"
"Only Chut It's all over the place
and that she thought at lost she ought
to tell me—"
"You don't mean, you don't mean"—
He couldn't quite say It.
"Yes I do." she said. And she rose
and walked up and down the room full
of a sort of angry vexation, mingled
evidently with a conflict of passionate
feeling she could neither conceal noi
subdue.
"Sit down," he said.
He had risen. He took her arm
Site was positively trembling. He led
her to the sofa by the fire.
"I shall have to leave this place,''
she said dn a sort of hard voice.
The angry tArs came Into her eyes
He had never seen her weep. Thii
was the nearest approach to It
"1 know wtiat you are going to say.
Don't say it No, you shan't go. Yos
are useful. The people trust you. II
is your sphere. I am the marplot
Why should you go?" said Jasper,
hardly measuring his words. "Why
should either of us go? Why not stay
—and stay—stay together?"
"You don't mean it?"
Men at such times are more tools
than knaves.
"Yes, yes—l do."
Jasper had taken her hand. The
woman with the Iron will, the keen
Intellect, the nature self-contained,
which seemed at times as hard at
nails, turned towurd him, and in an
other moment fell crying and laugh
ing hysterically Into his arms. Ai
that moment, as 111 luck would have
It, Pheuile, bearing unusual sounds,
and thinking some one needed assist
ance, entered.
"Go and fetch some sal volatile
Your mother Is not very well."
Indeed, at that moment Mrs. Alba
tross seemed to have really fainted
away. Whether ahe fainted or not na
one will ever know. The doctor him
self was doubtful.
• ••••'
Jasper never entered the house
again. He went home, packed up hit
things, wrote a hurried note In a dis
guised band to Phemie, who on tb
following day would be twenty-one
years old, and come into Ave hundred
pounds a year, which hod been left
her, to the disgust of her mother, by
her fond father—and Jasper went t
bed.
He must have risen early. No on
at his lodgings saw him go out. Hit
hot water was brought up at elghl
o'clock. His boots had not been put
out over night.
The servant knocked again at nine
The door was not locked. She enter

An anecdote of Bishop Thomas W.
Dudley reveals In his own words the
secrets of his success:
When it was first known In the city
in which he was settled that he was
to go to Kentucky some of bis frlendi
were disposed to be critical.
"You are not going to Kentucky, are
you?" asked one.
"Yes, indeed."
"Do you know what kind of a state
that Is? I saw In a paper that one
man killed another In a Kentucky
town for treading on a dog."
The bishop said nothing and the
man continued Impatiently:
"What are you going to do in a place
like that?"
"I'm not going to tread on the dogs,'
was the calm reply.— Sioux City Jour

How Relief
Came.
This is the sequel of a terrible calamity which'
affected many sections of the country some years ago.
A host of victims suffered disease and death. The
survivors have now a new reason to rejoice.
About uvea years ago the La Grippe
visited various sections of the country
in its deadly might scattering disease and
death among its hosts of victims.
Most of those afflicted who escaped
death then, have lived on in suffering,
broken in health and ambition) for the
after-effects of this disease arc dangerous.
A large portion of the survivors have a
feeling of oppression in the chest.
A little exertion causes a violent action
of the heart, described s "palpitation."
There is mental anxiety, depression,
blueness of the skin, indicating impaired
circulation of the blo^d.
The sluggishness of its circulation im
pairs the functions of most of the organs)
the stomach and intestines fail to perform
their work, while the appetite and diges
tion become seriously affected.
This complaint has baffled eminent
physicians and exhausted the results of
pharmacopoeia.
Recently, however, a means for a cure
has been obtained.
Among those who have been restored to
health by it is Herman H. Eveler, of 811
W. Main Street, Jefferson, Mo., a resident
of that city for thirty-eight years, well
known as a successful contractor.
He was one of the victims of the
"Grippe" seven years ago and has since
been troubled with its after-effects.
"That he lives to-day," he says, "is
due to a remarkable occurrence.
" I was taken with a malady just after the
"Grippe" visited this section and caused so
The Bogus Check Game.
The swindler who gulled a number of
Shenandoah and Sharaokin merchants
by presenting checks for purchase of
goods, disappering alter receiving the
excess in cash, has been heard from in
Sehnsgrove. The fellow, who travels
under the name of Baker, called upon
George F. Stetlor, an undertaker, and
stated that his sister died at Paxtonville
at the home of Mrs. Dobson, and he
wanted to buy a coffin. Undertaker
Stetler showed him the different styles
and prices of the caskets and Baker
finally selected one for $55. Stetler
made out a bill for it and was handed a
check for $65 on the Lewistown bank.
He suspected something and tele
phoned to Paxtonville to assertatn
whether there was a corpse at the Dob
son house The answer was that there
was no corpse m town. On this Baker
then unceremoniously ran away and
bas not been heard from since.
How IT HURTS! Rheumatism,
with its sharp twinges, aches and
pains. Do you know the cause ?
Acid in the blood has accumulated
in your joints. The cure is fouud
in Hood's Sarsaparilla which neu
tralizes this acid. Thousands write
that they have been completely
cured of rheumatism by Hood's Sar
saparilla.
HOOD'S PILLS cure nausea, sick
headache, billiousness, indigestion.
Price 25 cents.
The Ooffee Heart.
The coffee heart is the latest to be
added to the classifications of the
functional derangements of that or
gan. The coffee heart is due to an
over indulgence in that beverage, just
as the tobacco heart is credited to
the use of tobacco, or the bicycle
heart to extravagance in wheeling.
A medical director in a life insurance
company avers that over-indulgence
in the use of coffee shortens the beat
of the heart, and that the excessive
use of it hereafter will be regarded as
risks in life insurance.
IT HAS BEEN FULLY demonstrat
ed that Ely's Cream Balm is a speci
fic for Nasal Catarrh and cold in

achieved only as the result of con
tinued successful use. A morbid
condition of the membrane in the
nasal passages can be cured by this
pnryifying and healing treatment.

Loaded With Germs-
Physicians declare that the pens
and pencils used in the school rooms
are loaded with deadly disease germs.
They say that parents should caution
their children not to put the end of a I
pen or pencil in the mouth. A pen
or pencij furnished by the school, is
in time passed through the hands of
every scholar in the room, and by the
time each has taken a chew at the
end, the germs, if they exist, will be
thoioughly distributed.

many fatalities about seven years ago.
" I was troubled with shortness of breath,
palpitation of the heart and a general de
bility. My back also pained me severely.
"I tried different doctors and carefully
followed their directions, but no benefit
was apparent I used numerous remedies
that were highly recommended but no
satisfactory results were obtained.
" I began to give up all hope of receiving
relief. My condition was deplorable.
"In reading a St Louis newspaper I
noticed an article extolling Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People.
"After making inquiries regarding them
I concluded to give the pills a thorough triaL
" I used the first box and was wonderfully
relieved.
" I bought two more boxes and continued
taking them.
"A marked improvement was soon
noticeable t the shortness of breath, the pah
citation of my heart and kindred ailments
began to abate.
" After taking four boxes of these pills, I
was restored to good health.
" I feel like a new man now, and can trans
act my business with increased ambition."
To add strength to his story Mr. Eveler
made affidavit before Notary Public Adam
Poutsiong and he will gladly answer in
quiries to those enclosing stamp for reply.
The reason that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People are helpful in such cases as
this, is that they are composed of vegetable
remedies which act directly on the impure
blood, the foundation of disease.
