A WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE TRAGEDY:
Tou told ma you loved me; 'twas not long
so
That we strolled where the mystical
moonbeam were shed;
Ko doubt you'd repeat what delighted me
so
It again like the moth to the candle I
sped.
Tour affection went lame

And Uehltable Jones got your vote oh,
for shame! i
I depended on you when for office I ran.
Yet you failed me, because I was only a
man.
Tou told me you loved me fair false one,
goto!
How craven you flinched In a crisis su
preme! Was this the devotion which taught me
to woo.
And made all my Ufa an Idolatrous
dream?
The vote was a tie -Till

Through you twice a victim my record I

Writes "Amber" In the Times-Herald:
"I know whereof I speak when I . say
that fully one-half the .world commen
ces each day In direct violation of the
laws . of health. After sleeping all
nifrht In a closed bedroom, the windows
double, the furnace heat, in wintry
weather, turned on with its fumes of
dlseuse and death, up Rets my lady,
dresses- herself - and R-oes about the
business of the day without a thought
of her bed she has slept In and is going
to sleep In again. ITnawed and un
ahaken, it lies just as she left it until
somebody comes and spreads it up,
puts on the embroidered - shams and
folds down the dainty spread that
transforms it Into a veritable "whlted
sepulcher,"full of the germs of disease.
Get out your physiologies and read
about the waste that' passes from the
pores of the body during sleep, and then
dream pleasant dreams again. If you
dare. In an unaired bed and an unven
tllated bedroom. When you can bring
me a flower that blossoms In a charnel
house I will show you a woman who
has won rosy cheeks and bright eyes
from unhygienic surroundings. If you
find time for nothing else then even
If you have to put off saying your
prayers to do It air your bed and venti
late, your room thoroughly with the
pure', fresh air of heaven before you
take up the duties of the new day. .
.ifj WAS EXCUSABLE:
"There Is some excuse," said the Police
Judge, "for a man becoming exiisperated
by the strains of a hand organ, but to rush
out and attack the musician with an axe
is carrying things with a little too high a
band."
"I know It Is, Jedge," pleaded the man
who had never been In a police court bt
fore, "but when a blame Dago comes and
stops In front of the house Just after a
man has had an argument with hls-wlfe
about whether he gits an overcoat or her
a cloak, and begins playln' "Home. Sweet
Home,' It is more than flesh an' blood kin
etand!" Indianapolis Journal.
"Plenty of exercise, big shoes, loose
Clothing, no cosmetics: fun, frolic,
oceans of good times, but no candy;
milk in plenty, but not a drop of tea,
and precious little coffee, with early
hours and lots of sleep in airy bed
rooms, win make a physical queen that
may not unworthily wear a queen's
high spirit, I would rather see her
letting out a drop of blood every day
from her round white arm than see the
girl I love drinking strong tea, and
surely I would rather see her making
ready to set her slender foot within
Charon's grim ferryboat than establish
ing the taste for stronger beverages.
Now, before this eminently practical
musing is ended suppose we adopt a
code of rules to follow:
"Air the bed.
"Throw open the windows.
"Walk at least a mile a day five If
possible.
"Eat nothing between meals.
"Never taste strong tea.
"Bathe dally.
"Wash the face with cold water and
soap, rub briskly with towels and avoid
all cosmetics, powder Included.
"Sleep at least eight hours nightly. In
a room without drapery or fol-de-rols
and with neither stationary basins nor
furnace heat.
"Always sleep with an open window
leading directly to the outer air.
"Let your living-rooms be full of sun
shine and sweet air. even if the carpets
do fade and the dust settle.
"Have no fear of freckles and tan,
but count the sunshine and the health
dealing wind as two gifts of heaven.
"Don't change from thick to summer
underwear in the midst of winter for
the sake of putting on a low-necked
dress. If nature bestowed a No. 6 foot
and a twenty-six inch waist upon you,
accomodate yourself gracefully to her
generous gifts. So shall you grow to
be queens, Indeed;' fit to wear the crown
of perfect womanhood."
-:;-
IT WAS QUITE EASY:
"Nirvana," aala the business man's
wife, who has taken to occult subjects, "is
a place where we aoe, feel and hear noth
ing? Haw to reach this peaceful condi
tion Is the grant question."
"Huh!" replied her husband; "If you had
been In business as long as I have you
would know that It's easy."
"How would you go about It?"
Td simply quit advertising." Albany

HEALTH HINTS:
This l the Philadelphia Record's plan
of preserving the hair: 1. Avoid tight
fitting hats and collars, also close-fitting
caps, unless these be of some porous ma
terial. The two former prevent a due sup
ply of blood to the parts, hence the hair
papillae are put, as It were, on short com
mons all the time the hats and collars are
warn. The caps engender caloric, which
st'is up irritation, and ultimately that most
stubborn form of dandruff, namely, pity
tlasis (I. e., a branny powder). Note that
all headgear which Is not porous should be
ventilated at top and sides to allow a free
current of air. 2. Never stir or stand with
the top of the head near a gas light or
lamp light. The heat thrown out Is apt
to paralyze the scalp tissues and dries up
the hair Itself. 3. Don't wash the head
oftener than once a. fortnight, when first
rub in the yolk of an exx, and thoroughly
rinse out with warm water, into which has
been thrown a pinch of borax. Dry care
fully and apply a little pure olive oil. 4.
Beware of the common practice of dipping
the comb In water when arranging the
hair. It promotes decomposition and ran
cidity of the natural oil and so leads to
"rottng." 5. If the hair be naturally dry,
apply a' little olive oil occasionally, . If
naturally oily, occasionally wash away
the excess of sebaceous secretion by means
of a lather of tepid water and soap bark
(qultlaya saponarla). . Salt water Is most
Injurious to the hair, for which reason
when bathing wear an oil can. 7. Always
treat the scalp as if you loved It. Take to
heart Dr. -Godfrey's dictum that "Every
touch affecting so delicate a texture as
the scalp should bo soft and soothing;
every application bland and mild." Don't
use stiff-bristled or wire brushes, and in
all cases brush gently. Also, always brush
out the hair before attempting to comb it,
and use the comb as little as possible, 8.
Have the ends of the hair clipped once a
month, if only to prevent them from split
ting. But don't close-crop.
Enlarged glands will oreten be "cured"
by takng cod-liver oil, from a teaspoonful
to a tublespoonful after meals every day
for two or three months. Painting tho
glands with a tincture of Iodine is-frequently
curative also. Paint once or twice
a day. The application of Iodine to the
neck often causes severe pain. One should
be careful to apply but a light coating if
it cause pain.
To remove tartar from the teeth, get
some powdered pumice, a match stick and
vlnegur; dip the stick into the vinegar,
then Into the pumice and very gently rub
on the tartar so as not to Injure the en
amel of the 'teeth. Kqual parts of pre
pared chalk and powdered orris make a
serviceable tooth powder.
There Is no remedy to "restore bleached
hulr" to Its "natural color." In time it
may regain ts original color.
As a precaution ugulnst rheumatism,
wear nil-woo! underwear, from the neck to
the heels, throughout the year; heavy
weight In winter, wool-gauze In summer.
Keep -the pores of the skin open and tin,
bowel movements regular and free,
THE TABLES TURNED:
"Laura," said the husband of the Eman
cipated woman, sternly.
"What is It, dear?" asked the latter, In
a conciliatory manner, for she saw that
trouble was coming.
"l-diura, In the last three weeks-1 have
given you three letters-to mull, addressed
to dear papa. What have you done with
them?"
".Mailed them, of course," replied the
wretched woman. In a determination to
bluff it out if passible.'
"Laura," the husband went on, "that Is
not true. 1 received a letter from papa to
iluy In which he says he has not heard
from me for a month, and anxiously ask
ing if- anything is tho matter. Now you
have got those letters somewhere about
your clothes, if you haven't lost them. I
know Just as well as I know that 1 am
standing her that you hover mailed those
letters. Now go through your pockets
and see If you haven't got them."
The emancipated woman commenced to
look through her pockets, and soon turned
out the missing letters, which she laid on
the table, with the remark:
"Well. I could have sworn that I put
thoe letters In the letter box on the cor
ner." -
The man sneered. "Yon can't trust a
wmnun to do anything," . he retorted.
"Hereafter I'll mall my own letters, and I
won't occupy your valuable time with
such errands. Before you go I want $10
for household expenses."
The emancipated woman meekly laid the
money down on the table and went avny
with the remark that she would leave tho
olllee early In the afternoon and come af
ter her husbnnd to take him to the mati
nee. Harper's Bazaar.

SYNOPSIS.
The scene Is laid In Ireland about the
middle of the 14th century an age of su
perstition, bitter feuds and snvase vio
lence. Turlogh, son of Fineen, with a
band of unwilling clansmen, has dared to
approach a grove haunted by a mysterious
being of whom the most terrifying tales
are told. His followers dare not proceed;
but with one guide a man in monkish
gurb, professing to have power over spirits
and demons Turlogh enters the perilous
wood. This companion proves to be his
bitterest foe an O'Hwyer, sworn to
avenge the death of his father (who fell
by the hand of Fineen) upon the slayer's
son. The false monk hus thrown Tur
logh upon the cround. driven a spear.
blade through his shoulder, and Is now
speaKing with his dagger raised to dis
patch hiin. A furious storm is raging.
111.
"The 'false guest' nto nothing under
your roof that he did not bring with
him," he said, with sharpness. "The
'liar' warned you of your fate. And
now there will be no further words.
The storm Is not spent, and there Is a
long day s journey over tne mountain
before me, and I will be taking with me
your head wrapped in my gown. There
is a short minute to you for your
prayers."
A bold peal of thunder rolled over the
face of the thicket, and echoed from
crag to crag: along .Mount -Oabrlel's
flank. The blue lights glided again
among tho twigs overhead. Turlogh
shut his eyes from them, and sought a
prayer. He could think only of
Cumara, and the men In the boat. They
loved him. but they would never be
minding him. They were not wrong,
He was no right man to be a lord and
chief over others. His brother,
Conogher, was more fit. He would be
knowing how to make them obey him.
And some time somehow he would
be learning- what black O'Dwyer had
done. Maybe it would be the man-
witch with the beard of feathers who
would cause him to learn It. And now
there was no time to find out if such a
man-witch did run his ghastly course
through the little oak wood and the
alder-hollow or anything else what
ever. The towers of Dunbeakeen he
would not be seeing them again, or the
black, fat herds In the bawns, or the
pretty girls weaving their nets, or the
fall of the evening shadows on the gray
waters of Dunmnnus or any sight at
all. Ho kept his eyes closed, and bent
his mind nnon the fnmilar things they
would never be looking at more, and
waited.
But now there was a noise In the
thicket, which was not of the thunder
or the rushing wind a noise wnicn
burst suddenly close about him, of sav-bo-o
omu ls and curses, and crackling
branches under foot. The effort to take
nennnnt of this Brave Turlogn a mo
ment's giddiness. The spenr had been
wrenched from his shoulder, and the
deep pain of it racked and swayed his
brain toward swooning. Then, getting
his thoughts vaguely back from the
threshold of death, he opened his eyes.
On the instant, with a little cry of
agony at the woe In his shoulder, he sat
upright and stared wnue-mceu
dumb with bewilderment.
What Turlogh had not seen, berore
he sought the prayers that would not
come, was a dim crouching figure in the
darkness under tne rocxs, vermis i
from the obscurity with eyes alight,
o,wi in imncrcpiitible edgings forward.
coming close to the back of the
O'Dwyer.
What Turlogh's amazed eyes beheld
were two powerful forms locked In a
deadly grip, writhing, rocking, tugging
in frenzied passion at eacn inner, aim
tearing the soft mosses and forest car
pet with their feet as they fought, with
in a pace .of where he sat. A stick
hurled upwards from the ground struck
him smartly on the cheek. He forced
himself to rise to his feet, and with
poised hands, thrust forward his face
In the effort to see wnicn was wnicn
of the two combatants. Even above

'T " B-
the pain of his wound rose the violent
lust to have a share In this furious
struggle. But the light was low In
these depths, and his eyes blurred. He
shouted In h!i confused flutter of hope
and fear, and one of the two embattled
forms was thrust with violence against
him. He reeled backward, and caught
at the rock to steady himself, and had
a moment's terror lest he should fool
ishly fall down where he stood.
It was another who fell with a force
ful crash, and upon him plunged head
long the form of the victor. Turlogh
saw blood on the leaves, and a black
ened face turned upward among the
roots, with Its eyes bursting forth at
him in despairing horror. It was the
face of the O'Dwyer, and Turlogh felt
his foot itching to plant Itself upon
that face. He leaned against the rock
Instead, and gul'ted something; down
that rose In his throat, and shook off
the falntness that was on him. Then
there seemed to be more light, and he
saw clearly.
A creature In the semblance of a
man, half naked, and for the rest clad
In strange, discolored tatters of skins
and rags, and with a savage mane of
hair and beard growing In tufts and
patches enveloping Its head, knelt upon
the breast of the O'Dwyer. Its sinewy
hands, corded and stained to the like
ness of some foul giant-bird's talons,
were clasped fiercely about the fallen
man's throat. From Its lips there came
a hissing murmur vile to hear.
Turlogh, looking, saw that the long
bodied nshen-hued dog was tnere, too,
close to his feet. He shuddered and
pushed himself for supoprt against the
jutting bowlder.'
"Who are you 7" he heard his own
quavering voice ask.
The kneeling creature lifted Its head
and stared fixedly at Tunogh. The
sense of mystery vanished on the In
stant.' It was the face of an elderly
omadhaun, vacant, smiling, furtive, pit
iful. It nodded and grimaced under
Turlogh's eye.
"Have you no speech?" demanded
Turlogh. He spoke freely now, as If to
a strolling iignt-wit at nis own gates.
"They beat tnt away with sticks and
stones," said the simpleton. He spoke
In a thin, muffled, squeaking voice, and
It was not easy to comprehend hia
words. "They strike me, and put the
dogs after me, but some one is my
father. It may be that In a year and
a day he will come for me, and feed me
with white meats. I go to the head and
look for him, because It is very bad for
me nere. He will be having a silk coat
and gold pieces In his ears, when he
comes with the hlghtlde."
Turlogh held u: his hand to check
the meaningless babble. The trees and
the kneelins figure, and the corpse,
swam before his eyes. "Bear me down
to the water's edge to my boat!" he
said, abruptly.
The omadhaun slowly withdrew his
hands from the throat of the O'Dwyer.
"That gown It was that tripped him," ne
crooned, Grinning as ho pointed to the

monk's frock still twisted about the
dead man's legs, and with a sudden
stray gleam of sense in his eyes.
Turlogh's knees bent under him. and
he clung with his elbows against the
rock. "Leave him, and bear me to
my boat!" he groaned. And then black
ness E:read Itself over all.

At night. In the little chamber be
side the hall of Dunbeakeen, the herb
doctor and the bard stood together at
the side of the low bed, and looked
down at the ?ale sleeping face of their
young lord. Old Cumara crouched be
hind thenii in the shadows beneath the
ring of fish-oil tapers against the wall.
"Oh, then, when the first cock crows,"
walled the boatman, "the life will be
out of him! The devil himself brought
him out of the little oakwood. and laid
him on the strand, nnd ran back, with
a dog of hell at his heels. And we went
alone on the strand, and we bore him
to the boat, with the marks of the
devil's teeth torn Into his shoulder.
And the monk was not to be seen at
all, the holy man! Oh. wlrra! wlrra!
Why would It not be me Instead?'
"Hsh-h!" muttered the herb-doctor.-
Turlogh had opened his eyes. He
lifted himself on his left elbow, and
looked around with a slow gaze, noting
the faces about him, and bringing him
thoughts together, one by one. Then
he sm'led, and their hearts took Joy,
for there was no illness on him.
"Bring me food and drink now," he
said, "and bid Culnln the builder come
to me in the morning. I will be rais
ing a chapel In the little oakwood by
the strand without delay, and I will
dedicate it to St. Molaggi, the orfiad
haun." .
- Cumara groaned, but the two others
exchanged a glance, and nodded.
"It will be to the memory of the holy
man, the friar, who went with you and
did not return?" asked the bard.
Turlogh looked gravely at htm and
his companion, and then upward at the
half-circled lights. "Oh, then, it Is you
for the reading of men's thoughts!" he
said to his bard, and smiled again.
(The End.)
of all cases of consumption can, if taken In
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener
ally in use for its treatment ; as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphitcs and such like palliatives.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact , that, in all its
entlier stages, consumption is a cnrable
disease. Not every case, but a large per
centage of cases, and we believcyiZr 9$
percent, are cured by Dr. Fierce 's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golde.i Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have. In nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Goldeu Medical Discovery,'
but who have been forced to confess tn.it
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-,
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the liypophos.
phites had also been faithfully tried in vahi.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a boob of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and leant
their experience.
