The Ladies' Home Journal for the ininth of May, a magazine of over a million circulation, says : "A Russian Hebrew came to this c > intry and established a dry goods an I notion business. He was so.suc essful that he seut for his younger b other. The boy was slower to learn I ie, ways of the world than his brother li id been, and the latter sometimes gew impatient. One day he said : ' Cow shust vait und see how I do. t'ere vos a lady.' The lady asked to see some silk, which was shown, a I >iece at two dollars a yard. 'But 1 sa vsouie like it a few days ago for one dollar and fifty cents,' she said, 'i don't doubt id, madam; but dot vos some days ago. 112 vos selling dese goods at dot price until yesterday, ven we got void dot all de silk-vorms in ( hina vos dead, und dat goods vi ll cost us more as more as two dollars now.' The lady was satisfied and purchased the silk. 'Now you see how dot vas done? Dere vos a lady now; you vait on her,' he said to his brother. The lady entered and asked for tape. The young man was all at tention, and the desired article was speedily produced. 'llow much?' the lady asked. 'Ten cents per yard.' 'Why, 1 saw some for eight cents.' '1 don't doubt id, madam, but dot vos some dime ago. Shust to-day ve heord dat dere vould be no more tape less as twenty cents a yard, because all the tape-vorins vos dead'." Almost Electrocuted.

(iamett "Whatever possessed you," said Miss Cordelia, "to quarrel with her?" "I didn't. She quarreled with me." "Don't be an Adam." Bert Ignored the case of Adam. "If I could see her alone," he said gently— M alone accidentally." "Accidentally, of course. That's where I come in?" "Why not?" "Because I am on her side." "But so," radiantly, "am I, always on her side." "Oh, Indeed!" "Miss Cordelia, she sent me her ring with a note saying she her mind. I can't go cringing after that, can I? But accidentally"— "Why," interrupted Miss Cordelia, "did she change her mind?" "Some law of the fourth dimension may explain." "You've no guess?" "Well," protested Bert, "a man can't be an Egyptian mummy just because he's engaged." "I see. And I don't see any hope for you." "Then I'm sorry to be a nuisance. Miss Cordelia, but," settling himself like a rock, "I must stay until she comes. She comes often, doesn't she?" Miss Cordelia began to laugh. "Why," she asked, "don't you write to her?" "I want to be sure that she cares before— well, one doesn't like to be a hound dog for nothing." "And how will you be made sure?" "Oh, the minute I see her." "It must be delightful," Miss Cor delia remarked pleasantly, "to be a mau." "Oh, I'll know," said Bert, with gen ial assurance, "and you'll help, and then"— He stopped, with a sudden flash of mischief In his eyes. "And then?" Miss Cordelia leaned toward him, with her own eyes twin kling. "Then I'll kidnap her!" cried Bert and sprang to his feet. "If she cares, Miss Cordelia, upon my soul, I'll kid nap her." "Oh, how young and silly!" said Miss Cordelia and sighed. "Listen. It's quite sensible," Bert explained joyously. "The engagement was talked about, you know. Every one discovered it." "Yes," assented Miss Cordelia and smiled. "Now the break is being talked about, and little Nlxle, poor girl, hates the whole business." "It's quite Hkely," Miss Cordelia put In dryly, "that she especially hates the talk going on about you and that little flirt Nellie Carl." "That Isn't my fault. Anyway," with conviction, "this plan will make everything right." "Olt, indeed," repeated Miss Corde lia. "You see, after all she's been through"— "Exactly," Miss Cordelia putin, with feeling. "1 mean In the way of talk. She'll hate to begin all over again." "So"- "So," beamingly, "we'll cut the thing short." "And I'm to furnish the knife?" Bert gave her a nod. "It's great," he cried and made for the door. "I'll see the bishop." "Mercy on us!" protested Miss Cor delia, but he only paused to make a brief request. "Miss Cordelia"— "Oh, you silly boy!" "Ask her to wear white." "I dare say." "I'll tell her the rest myself." "And when," laghued Miss Cordelia, "Is she to wear white?" "Tonight, of course. You wouldn't have me live through another day like this V" Miss Cordelia surrendered. "Come to dinner," she told him. "Come early —and—we'll see." "It's great," said Bert aud was off. Miss Cordelia began to feel a little fluttered. She got Nixie on the tele phone. Would Nixie come to dinner? Nixie would be delighted to come. "And 1 wish," called Miss Cordelia next, "that you'd wear white, dear. I—l like you in white." "It's very fortunate, then, that I've a new white silk," said Nixie. Miss Cordelia chuckled. "Come ear ly," she added. "lie sure to come ear ly, and Nixie"— "Yes." "There's quite a snow beginning. Wear that pretty, warm cloak of yours, the long, fur lined one with the howl. We're all going to a—a little impromp tu at the bishop's and come back supper." And then she fled out of hearing. Nixie dressed as desired and came early. "What sort of impromptu?" she ques tioned brightly. Miss Cordelia helped to unfasten the fur cloak. "It's a secret," she explained. "Gracious, how funny! Does the bishop know? Who knows?" "Very few know," admitted Miss Cor delia. j "Mayn't I?" pleaded Nixie sweetly. "Have a white dress and a cloak," smil ing. "anything to do with it?" Miss Cordelia suddenly kissed her. "It's a beautiful secret. liert will tell you, and you mustn't be angry, dear." "Oh," said Nixie, and for an instant the flash of battle was In her eyes, "Mr. Bert Jordan is here?" "You don't want to avoid him, do you? finee every one knows you have rejected the poor boy, 1 think," faltered Miss Cordelia—"but I mustn't meddle— I think you might show him a little grace." "How," Nixie questioned frostily, "does any one know anything?" "Oh, they look at Bert, I suppose," said astute Miss Cordelia. "Shall we go down, dear?' % They went down and found Mr. Jor- I dan waiting. There was a white rose bud in his coat, and he was rather white himself, but a kind of smolder ing tire was in his eyes. "Will you show Nixie my new or chids?" suggested Miss Cordelia. "1 must stay here to receive the other guests. Aud, Bert, tell her about the Impromptu -the bishop's impromptu." Mr. Jordan bowed. Nixie led out with a graceful nonchalance. They at once forgot the new orchids, though a whole end of the conservatory was a cascade with their weird rain bow bloom. After a silent time Nixie pouted. "You needn't sulk," she told him. "I didn't mean to," Bert protested in hurried meekness. "I was only anxious about—about some roses that I've or dered." "Oh, indeed!" » "Yes. I.was wondering If they'd get to the bishop's In time." "You and Miss Cordelia/' she re market! sedately, "seein to have the bishop's Impromptu quite weighing on your minds." "Oh, it's no great matter to her," said Bert. "But a great matter to you?" "Well, they're- bride roses, you see." "A wedding!" erled Nixie alertly. "Was that what Mlaa Cordelia meant— a wedding?" "Yes," he admitted, ' l'.; ' 1* what she meant." And he was white as his rosebud. , She looked at him, and suddenly the battle was again In her eyes. "How stupid of me!" she said and made a low bow to him. "Of course only the bridegroom sends the bride i roses. Allow me to congratulate you. You've been breaking It to me gently— | I am *o much obliged to you—that you are the hnppv man." It is my wedding." said Bert and set his teeth. "So kind of you to mention it. Has Miss Carl come yet?" "I don't know." "Shouldn't you be finding out?" But here there came a diversion—the swish of skirts, with chatter and laugh ter, going down the hall. 4 0h." said Nlxle, "they're going into dinner." Mr. Jordan gravely offered his arm. The girl's lips quivered. She looked up at him In swift appeal In the way of the days before the quarrel. "They'll all know," she faltered, "that you've been telling me, and they'll try not to stare and not to smile, and it will be horrid, horrid!" "Don't go," said Bert. She gave a nervous laugh and slip ped her hand within his arm, but he stood still. "We must go," she said and gave a little pull and set her mouth In as firm a line as she could. "It's too late not to." "It's rather late to go." said Bert. "They're all seated by now. If Miss Cordelia has given us the places that she used to give us"— "We'll have to walk the whole length of the table," broke In Nlxle and gave a little sob. "I'll never forgive Miss Cordelia—never. And where," sudden ly drawing away from him, "Is Nellie Carl?" "I think," said Bert, astutely bend ing his head to listen, "that they're sending for us." Truly a stop came down the hall. "Oh," gasped Nlxle, "so they are!" "Let's cut and run," said Bert. In another Instant they had whisked out among the stray flakes of the piaz za. She leaned against one of the pil lars. One hand in a hurried little flutter of excitement went to her throat. The other Bert held and felt it trembling. "Come on,"he said, joyously facing the snowy night, "come on!" "Come where?" The dismay of it was touching, but Bert laughed. "To the bishop," he explained. "The Impromptu." "But I don't want togo there now." "Why not? You always intended, didn't you—to be married by the bish op? Why not now?" There was a pause, wherein vainly through the darkness he tried to search her face. "Let me carry you to the sleigh," Bert entreated, "so that your little feet will not get wet In the snow." "Your sleigh Is waiting?" "At the curb." "And Nellie Carl?" He laughed triumphantly and, snatch ing her up In his arms, ran out Into the street, and ready under the great fur robes of tha sleigh was the hooded cloak. "How ever did Miss Cordelia guess?" laughed Bert as he drew it about her. "or did j'ou tell her?" "You are two wicked plotters," re turned Nixie indignantly. "I shall go back to that dinner." But the groom had stepped back from the horse's head. "It's great!" cried Bert, as they dash ed down the street with the soft, cold beat of the snow in their faces. "And I can't stop the horse unless"— "Well, unless?" "Unless you want him stopped. Nix ie." "Do you know," asked Nixie demure ly, "if either of us has told the bishop, because it would not be respectful to disappoint him?" "But there's one thing, Nixie." This somewhat later. "Qh, is there?" "You haven't your mind at all on Nel He Carl, have you?" "Well." said Nixie, and softly laugh ed, "I don't see why you should kidnap the wrong girl." So they dashed on toward the bishop.

A Cruiiie of Toriolac Shell. A curious relic of some historic Inter est Is to be seen at Pnu, In the Basses Pyrenees. Visitors are shown the bed room of Jean d'Abret, wife of Anthony of Bourbon, king of Navarre. Here in the year 1553 her infant son was born, who was lu after years King Ilenry IV. of Navarre, and by the side of an antlquo bedstead of richly carved wal nut stands a most curious cradle of tortoise shell about two feet long and eighteen inches broad, in which the In fant prince is said to have been laid at his birth. French Conceit. Etleune Dumont, writing In tlie early part of the last century, said: "The prevailing character of the French is that of conceit. Every member of the assembly considered himself capable of undertaking everything. I often said that if you proposed to the first hundred men you met in the streets of Paris and to the same number in the streets of London to undertake the charge of the government ninety-nine of them would accept In Paris and ninety-nine would refuse In London." The Tthetnn Conscience. The Tibetans offer daily prayers for the minute insects which they have swallowed inadvertently in their meat and drink, mid the formula Insures the rebirth of these microbes in heaven. Yet they eat meat freely and square their conscience with their appetite by the pretext that the sin rests with the outcast assassin, the public butcher, who will be born iu the next incarna tion as some tantalized spirit or agon ized demon. That, however, is his own affair. Oulleul Imleclaion. Tlie Daughte.r— No. mother, dear, 1 could not marry Mr. Smith. Ha squints.

Front Time Immemorial Three Has Had luuanal Siflrnlllcancc. The perfect number of the Pythago rean system, expressive of beginning, middle and end, was the number three. From time immemorial greater promi nence lias been given to it than to any other except seven. And as the symbol of the Trinity its influence has waxed more potent in recent times. It appears over and over again in both the New and Old Testaments. At the creation of the world we find land, water and sky, sun, moon and stars. Jonah was three days and nights in the whale's belly, Christ three days in the tomb. There were three patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained three angels. Job had three friends. Samuel was called three times. Sam son deceived Delilah three times. Three times Saul tried to kill David with a Javelin. Jonathan shot three ar rows on David's behalf. Daniel was thrown into a den of three lions be cause he prayed three times a day. Shadracli, Meshach and Abednego were rescued from a tlery furnace. The commandments of the Lord were de livered on the third day. St. Taul speaks of faith, hope and charity. Three wise men came to worship Christ with presents three. Christ spoke three times to Satan when he was tempted, lie prayed three times ' before lie was betrayed. Peter deuied \ him three times. lie suffered three hours of agony on the cross. The su perscription was in three languages, | and three men were crucified. Christ j appeared three times to his disciples i and rose the third day. J j Your Life J Current. The power that gives you life and motion is the nerve , force, or nerve fluid, located in 112 the nerve cells of the brain, j and sent out through the s nerves to the various organs. If you are tired, nervous, 1 irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, peri odical pains, indigestion, dys -1 pepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak. Power-producing fuel is need ed ; something to increase nerve energy—strengthen the nerves. Dr. Miles' Restorative Ner vine is the fuel you need. It feeds the nerves,produces nerve force, and restores vitality. "When I began taking' Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills I was confined to my bed. I had severe nervous spells, the result of two years illness with malaria. I gradually grew so weak that I wns unable to sit up. The spells would commence with cold chills, and I would become weak and almost help less. My circulation was poor. I had doctored right along but grew weaker and weaker. The Nervine seemed to strengthen me right away and my circulation was better. I have taken In all seven bottles of the Nervine, and I am entirely well." ROSA E. WEAVER, Stuarts, la.
