" Of the many preparations before tho public for tha cure of colds, coughs, bronchitis, nnd kindred diseases, there Is none, within the range of my experi ence, so reliable ns Ayer's Cherry Pec toral.

I did so, and within a week was well of my cold and cough. Since then I bavo always kept this preparation In the house, and feel comparatively secure." Airs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss. "A few years ago I took a severe cold which affected my lungs. I bad a ter rible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gavo me up.

I, a folon! I, it criminal! Ami worse than that, Dot and I, who otm run our glance over u line of "forbeurs" glisten lug with the soul of honor, back to a noble house iwo, together, charged with conspiracy, before a crowd of Btruugers that I felt gathering behind my buck! Let ine tell you how it came about. At reception that some of the ladies gave the ir'outli Americans the other night, Senor Don Joseph Maria Placid Ouamnno, of Ecuador, in his brilliant little talk about "woman in tho present century," remarked: "She contends to day for every position which we with n charming gesture of wnving his own claims "politely relinquish to her." "Graceful, wasn't it?" I said to Dot when I camo home. "I'm not bo sure it's true, however, nor that I approvo of it If His Ifeel more confidence in heaven's plans for woman than in Belva Lock wood's I believe. But there is one posi tion that I should individually like to contend for, and have- some one relin quish to me. I would like to stand for one week behind the wire caging of some respectable bank, and try if I could solve a inyBtery that mocks forever at me as 1 gaze from the other side. Is it a special law? Is it an atmosphere? Is it a 'sub tle alchemyV I wish I knew!" "Knew what? oeked Dot, quietly. 'Knew why a man, elsewhere governed by civilized codes, possibly considered at times even agreeable, once behind the wires, feels free to look at you and talk to you in such a way that a good tall Polar bear would seem a silky refuge, compared to himt I hate mysteries aud I hate banks! Dot made no reply. Of course," I pursued, "on your own native heath you are eufo; but strangers as you unu 1 are here In Washington! Why, tho other day I went into that bank of the Everlasting Hills, where you introduced me, and they put their heads together and pierced me and my check "alternately with such looks Parthian arrows, Scythian spears, bt. Sebastian, anything would have seemed mud. Dot laughed. "What do you care? I'went into my bank yesterday, and the man began to make eyes at me, but I just held up my bauk book at him and he flew. I didn't care," No, you didn't care, exasperating lit tle Insulated wire, but I do. I don't see what right they have. And I always do hate going upon uther people's ground; it gives them such an advantage. And that menagerie grating piles the advan tage .up to such an awfully unfair height. Why, you can, you know If yon would allow yourself, you could poke nt a tiger through his bars; uut that bank fence! Why, if I had brother, or com -a" "Yes," laughed Dot. "Well, even if I had that to take along, prepared to spring at the throat, if any one were well, inconsiderate to ward me, he couldn t reach mm! At that moment came a ring at the door and a yellow telegram envelope. Dot was to fly to Philadelphia. The one being on earth who was part of both our souls was very ill. Twenty minutes for Batchel packing and leaving the place. "Dot," I said stonily, "send for me if it is very bad. And, oht I shall want some money while you are gone." 1 11 send a check," she said, and the cab rolled away; so did a night and moniing of suspense; then came another yellow envelope and then a letter. One said things were better, the other brought the check. I breathed again: but still I might be called. I mast go to that miserable bank. There was just time before hours were over. 1 caught the avenue car and was off. On tho bank steps I pulled out the check. Dot had not drawn It on the "Everlasting Hills," It was on tho "High Stepping bankl" What now? She for got that they did not know mo there. Still, of course, one respectable bonk would cash another s -check; it must be all right. The bight of tho wire caging brought back my talk with Dot, and I felt the blood of my ancestors growing hot In my veins again. But I must be safe; they would surely remember me tins time. No! What was that paying teller do ing now? Looking at my check, turning it, twisting it, shooting looks at me, looking at it again Parthian arrows, indeed. Now he was off to an older man, who seized the check in his turn, pierced it and mo until moro arrows, as if he were examining magistrate of a police court. Now he sprang from his stool and sprang at me. Only tho wires, apparent ly, kept him off. My "heat" became ft flame, and, with no warning to myself, broke forth: "I wish you would kindly let me leave my photograph here, and give mo a card stating that you recognize it. This be gins to be annoying in tlie ex" But the magistrate was waving me aside. "One moment, madam! Tills oheok," slowly aud solemnly, "is drawn upou the High Stepping bank." (Loftily.) "Yes." "Did Mrs. Dot intend to draw it upon that hanky "1 presume so," ''Thou why," with a shaft designed to awe strike me to the earth, "why did you uot take it there?" "Because I have been introduced here and not there." A moment's fearful pause. "Has Mrs. Dot an account with thirl baukV" "Yes." "What Mrs. Dot is she?" "Mrs. Y. Z. Dot.1" Like a comet he disappeared into what seemed one of A set of catacombs; the next instant reappeared. "Tills check, madam" another look more unutterable than before "is upon the High Stepping bauk. Why, then" Pair laud of our fathers! Did he expect me to explain, in presence of the bank, and the crowd my shoulders knew was gathering behind them, that Dot and I were one; that she was more than im mersed in literary work, ami I had offer ed vo ran the practioal part of the house thta winter; that, being methodical us aha was lltorarv. she had nlaoed a house keeping allowance in the Everlasting Hills, introduced me there, and had put :ier and my private fuuds in the High Stepping by themaelvea: that, lielng tel egraphed away, the liud sent me Imck this check, forgetting that I could not tako it tlwre. Wiu there any law of moral or finance that demanded this? I glanoed at the paying toller, HU face, turned sorrowfully in profile, wore a mournful hush; it wwined to me that the backs ut the other bauk men wore the same, and nuns felt it breathing frpm the vw4 behutd. aut-"wny .tneir tn( examining jus tice was shafting at mi Once more. "As I told yon, I have lieen introduced only here." "But tliis check, nindam" My "flamo" was white hent now, nnd ngaln, without malico prepeiiso I cut him off: "Do you menu to sny that this bnnk never cashes the draft of any other house than its own?' No; but" nnd then out It came. The secret climax that it Beams -ho had been making a momentary effort to re strain. "No; but 1 do not know that Mrs. Dot has any money iu tho High Step ping bank." For one instant I held my breath. He did not know? He suspected sho had uot? Then that meant that meant Dot nnd I wore putting up a fraud? A fel ony? Wo were what do they call it conspirators? And a couspirac3- "thin" enough for idiots at that? "I will not trouble you," I said. Ho tossed me tho paper and disap peared. "Where is the High Stepping bank?' 1 asked of tho teller, who had not Btirred. His lips parted, as if a statuo of "Trag edy" could speak. "Half a block away," he said. Ouco on tho street "white heat" had to como down to asking ""What next?" Give tho High Stepping men their oppor tunity next? Never, if I died! And yet if I were telegraphed? A telegraph boy brushed past me, going toward our street! In a flash 1 was up tho steps and at tho hnted wires. The paying teller stood there. Was his blood frozen to icicles, each sharper than a ser pent's tooth? I thrust in the check, nnd sparks fly ing as I did so. I don t know whether you'll give me the money for this," I said, biting every word; "I'm not introduced here." Ie lifted a handsome, pleusant face. "It is not customary," ho said. I ni quite aware. But I went to tho Everlasting, where I'm known, and thoy made oj-es at mo till I was hot, nnd asked mo to lenvo my photographl" A low ripple or nmusemont broke from under his mustache. "But they would not doit then! What do you think? Porhaps Mrs. Dot had no money bore at all! That would be fel ony, wouldn't it? I was furious then. If you're not going to give it to me, be care ful how you tell mo, please; that s nil." The ripple broke into a little peal this time. Evidently it was very droll to him. "It is not customary," ho began itgnin, but" and his eyes lifted a swift glance. That one glanco, I felt, was first at my bonnet and then nt me, and I knew that I was saved! There are few unlucky persons who do not once in a life make a fortunate in vestment, aud that bonnet has been mine! I have had bonnots that belied me, and bonnets that I could only carry off, but that one on more than onco one of iny own sex has risen in tho street car to give mo up her seat! That bonnut onco on, tho blood of the C's, D's and E's that I feel always tingling at my finger tips,' seems com-J manueu to tne tront with it loap, and people (who can seo at all) know iu one instant that no meinbor of our family, though possibly left in infancy to chop a cherry tree, could ever, over do it by the hatchet of a fraudulent check! And in later lifol as soon ask Juno if she had been thinning the ranks in n chicken house as suspect ouo of us of oven pricking a cherry treo with a pin. "But" the teller continued, with a smile half hidden where tho ripple had been "but I shall do it." He would do itl I was not a thief or a criminnl once more! I could not lift myself, for I liad been standing like tho tallest pine tree in the forest all the time I could only bow my .bonnet low toward him. "I thank you very much! Let me go and tell the Evorlaslings that you did!" I began hastily. Tho low, quiet laugh was merrier than ever now. They would say I didn't know my business," he said. The telegraph boy had not been at the houso when I reached there, but he came later. All was well, and Dot was com ing home. I gave her five minutes to get seated, and began: "Dot, how much monoy lutve you in tho Everlasting Hills?" "Lloveii dollars, as it happens, lust to day," she laughed. "And how much in tho High Stepping, 'just today?" " "Six hundred, if you have not drawn your check." "I wish you would take that eleven out and never put nnother penny there." "Why? she asked, taking up tho em broidery that rested her from her pen. I ponred forth the tales, coming down upon tho finale with a wrathful sweep of "What right had her "Hum," replied Dot, holding the pat tern to tlio light, "I suppose he thought it a little queer. And eleven dollars wouldn't have made him safe, you know, against seventy-five." "Queer!" 1 ejaculated. "What affair was that of Ids? You aud I felons und conspirators, Dot!

Thero is tradition amongst tho Indi ans that away back iu the dusky hitherto knowledgo of a cave of gold was pos sessed by an Indian family on the Sau- geei iHmitiHuht, who handed the secret down from father to son and guarded it with jealous care. The cave was sup posed to lie situated somewhere on the Spanish river, and once a year the head of tho family paid a visit to it and brought away sufficient gold to last him for twelve months. About 150 years ago tho then Bon, l)ing enticed away from bin native guiltlessness by interconr-io with the crafty paleface, put up a job on tho old man, and patiently dogged his footsteps when ho went on his yearly ex pedition. The unsuspecting father had filled his firebug with gold, and was turning to leavo tho cuvo, when he saw a shadow lurkiugnt the entrance. Quick as thought he raised his gun und fired, and the fig ure fell. Whon he gut out lie fonud that he had shot his son, and in the agony of his grief drow his hunting knife aud stabbed himself to tho heart, his body falling nawis that of his son, There the skeletons Ho to this day, and any one who molests them may expect the treat ment which all naughty boys receivo hen thoy meddle with what does not concern them.

Why Privates Should Not Many. "No, I don't think a soldier has any right to marry a private, anyhow," said a ten year man at I'ort Hamilton. "Our lifo and our movements are too uncer tain, for one thing, and for another, a soldier should hav3 no incumbrances. Look at me, for example.

Undo Sam keeps us, you know, but ho don't over indulge us in spundiug money, and when yon consider that theio's no such thing as free traiii,iorlation for one's family or baggage, you may judgo how many months' savings it would take to carry ono through. "Why, tho officers themselves aro inly allowed from 1,500 to a.400 pounds bag gage traniqtortation. according to rank, and most of them, you know, aro mar ried. A privato is allowed 160 (rounds and what ho can carry. This just about sees a single man through, but when it conies to household goods, even for n small family, the weight is in tho thou sands before yon know it. Yes, it's all a mistake," ho said, in conclusion, "this thing of a private marrying. It nlmost invariably causes painful separations, frugal living and uiiliappiuess generally to those who run the risk." Brnoklvn Eagle. The (ll-RTlty of UngHali Waiters. It is said that tho best waiters in tho world are Etiglisllmen, but they do not succeed in the middle class restaurants. For one thing the Swiss, Italian, or Ger man proprietors prefer their own coun trymen, but in addition to that, I think they are not, as a general rule, so lilted for tho task as foreigners. English wait ers are usually kept in hotels, where they assuino a grave air and are as solemn us butlers. They aro quito as exiiensivc. too. Once in Cambridge I staid at a hotel whoso prieus Wero as high as Its reputation. Tlio head waiter was an op pressively solemn mini, who so overawed my youthful spirit that oven yet I havo kind of horror croon over mo when 1 remember the last evening meal I nto undor his superintendence. I felt as if 1 were eating my own funeral dinner. For that repast, anil tho waiter, 1 was charged nino and sixpence. I havo always con sidered they charged mo seven and six- ponce for him whom I could bo well havo done without. That may be partly tho reason why I prefer the brighter Swiss as mi occasional attendant. Ho is suijed tohrestanrant which has plate, glass and gilding about it: tho other should nover leave an oak paneled room with rusty armor high in tho solemn shadows nlmve tho wax candles. Murray's Magazine. In Central I'ark. Not moro thnn a handful of pcoplo wero left iu Ontral park lato Sunday afternoon.

Tlio largest grain elovatorin tho world was built at Minneapolis Junction in I Wirt. Tlio building is 33(1 feet long, IKJ feet wido and ITS feet'high. It has stor ing capacity for 3,000,000 bushels of grain within its walls. During its con struction the carpenters and joiners med over rt,500,000 foet of lnmber of all kinds, besides 53 car loads of nails, which, if packod, would make tho enorornious amount of 10,000 common kegs; the best calculators say that the actual number of nails used in the mighty building will fall but few, if any, under 80,000,0001 The engine used is capable of handling IJ5.000 to 250,000 bushels of grain per day, or enough during the year to equal the combined productions of tho state of Minnesota and the two Dakotas. Two hundred and fifty cars have often Iteen loaded nt this elevator in ten hours. St. Louis Republic Queer I'art of Hook Melting, Ono of the beauties of the subscription system of book selling Is this: If tho book Is ono of a doren, nay, that you don't want at auy price, the agent, male and female created, conies after yon in your weakest hours, and, Jienotratiiig to your most secret lair, demands your piece of money or yonr jieace of mind. Whereas, if tho book be one of real value and in terest, one that j oil, a man or woman, ay not less than 33.3 per cent, above the zero of idiocy, would naturally care to read and own, then what happens? Why, then you have to seek out the publisher yourself, who civilly refers you to some general agent, who casually refers you to some local agent, who alts in recrct somewhere; smiling while you long for it Queer, is it not?
