OLD-FASHIONED
MOTHERS.
/g7 IIANKS to the Great Crea
vi) tor, some of us have hat
old-fashioned mothers. No
a woman of the period, enamelec
and painted, with her great chig
lion, her curls, frills and bustle,
whose white jeweled hands nevei
felt the clasp of baity lingers; bul
a dear, old-fashioned, sweet-voicec
mother ; with eyes, in whost
depths the love-light shone; am
brown hair just threaded will
silver, lying smoothly upon her
faded cheek.
Those dear hands, worn with
toil, gently guided our tottering
steps in childhood and smoothed
our pillow in sickness, ever reach
ing out to us in yearning tender
ness.
lilessed is the memory of an
old-fashioned mother. It floats
to us now, like the beautiful per
fumes from some wooded blos
soms. The music of other voices
may l>e lost, but the entrancing
memory of hers will echo in our
souls forever. Other faces may
fade away and be forgotten, but
hers will shine on.
When in the fitful pauses of
business life our feet wander back
to the homestead, and, crossing
the well-worn threshold, stand
once more in the room so hallow
ed by her presence, how the feel
ing of childhood, innocence and
dependence conies over us, and
we kneel down in the molten sun
shine, streaming through the open
window—-just where long years
ago we knelt by our mother's
knee, and lisped, "Our Father."
How many times, when the
tempter lured us on, has the
memory of those sacred hours,
that mother's words, her faith
and prayers, saved us from plung
ing into the deep abyss of sin.
Years have filled great drifts
between her and us, but they
have not bidden from our sight
the glory of her pure, unselfish
love.
— Wk are told that our young
friend, Air. Clarence W. beidel,
is receiving much encouragement
in his canvass for commissioner,
and will, in all probability, re
ceive the strongest support at the
primaries. Let it lie so, for Mr.
Seidel is a young man of good
judgment and we can rest assured
that he will act judiciously if
honored by the voters in liomi
natipg and electing him.

After they had come to an under
standing Frank Claxton took Virginia
Carter to dinner at Giovanl's. This un
derstanding, the result of many misun
derstandings, put an end to their en
gagement, and they chose to hold the
wake over their dead love at the tiny
restaurant where it had been born.
Neither talked much during the meal,
and when either spoke, for some rea
son not easily explained, it was In a
very low tone. The man said, "I sup
pose 1 had better return your letters?"
"There must be a great many of
them," responded the girl, the corners
of her mouth trembling Into a faint
smile.
"Yes. In—in three years"—
"I shall send yours tomorrow—that
Is, I shall send all but one. I should like
to keep one—in memoriam. May I?"
"If I may."
"Certainly. 'A fair exchange,' you
know."
Claxton left her at the door of her
apartment something less than sui hour
later. On the way to his own home he
marveled that he should regret what
had happened so little. The petty quar
rels of the past few mouths had worn
out his endurance, he thought, and ren
dered him indifferent to their culmina
tion. lie wondered how she felt about
it. At all events, the separation would
leave him with more time—more time
to work, more time to devote to the
friends he had neglected since he had
begun caring for her.
In the matter of the quarrels he did
not consider himself blameless. He
realized this, and admired himtfc'f a bit
for the inherent generosity which pre
vented his holding her solely to ac
count.
Claxton reached his "plnee" in rather
a relieved frame of mind. lie opened
the door with a key fastened to a silver
ring that she had given him on his
birthday and walked straight across
tiie library to his typewriter. Beskle
the machine was a tiny cushion she
had made for him to rest his elbow
upon when he was "reading copy." He
recalled that it had come wrapped in
numberless pieces of paper, each one
inclosed inside the other, like the eggs
in a Chinese puzzle. That was about
the time that the interest aroused by
his tale of Central American life had
opened the hearts of editors toward
him.
Somehow the detective story he had
intended to begin did not fly from his
linger tips as speedily as lie had ex
pected. The first paragraph, after
writing which, he told himself, things
would go better, stood alone on the
page, a succession of stilted and unin
viting sentences.
"Not in the mood," he confessed at
last and strolled down Broadway to his
club. The boy at the door didn't know
hint, and when;after satisfying the stu
pid fellow of his membership, he saun
tered into the lounging room he was
in an exceedingly unpleasant humor
"Fnrsons been here this evening?" he
Inquired brusquely of an attendant.
"No, sir," replied the man. "lie does
not come very often now, sir. Married,
I believ«."
Claxton cursed Parsons from the bot
tom of his soul.
"Graham?" he asked.
"Mr. Graham was in about a week
ago. We don't see him more than once
a fortnight."
"Funny," mused Claxton. "By George,
I wonder if there's any one in the
place?"
Til ere was, in the writing room-
Frederick Ford Ferguson, a youth just
coaxing a timorous mustache into ex
istence and tolerated only for the sake
of his father, Major Ferguson, former
ly of the Ninth infantry. Claxton
would gladly have passed the young
ster by, but lie was hailed before ho
oould regain the hall.
".Stop a bit, old chap. I want to read
you a line I'm sending to a friend of
mine at Daly's. Bather a clever letter,
you know."
Claxton tore himself away and went
bnelc home. What was Miss Carter do
ing? lie would have wagered n hun
dred that Phelps had called and taken
her out. Confound Phelps!
The story went more smoothly, stim
ulated by the resentful energy of its
nuuior. rTUin iw troovra unut uearrjr
daylight the typewriter clicked inces
santly. When it stopped clicking, seven
pages of manuscript, much marred by
pencil marks, lay on the table near at
hand. It was a good story, he felt sure,
although there were two or three de
tails concerning which he would have
liked a conservative opinion. "I'll take
Virginia out for luncheon and read it
to her," he thought. Then he remem
bered that they had agreed never to
see each other again—voluntarily, that
Is.
The day. which began with his rising
at noon, dragged along monotonously.
It was hard to realize that he might
not speak to her over the telephone that
stood on his desk and harder still to be
convinced that she would not call him
up. Toward midafternoon Claxton un
locked a drawer and took out the nlm
packages of her letters that represent
ed a correspondence of three years. He
must choose the one letter and return
the rest to lier.
To do this he must read every epis
tle in the nine bundles. Claxton, in
common with most men who write or
net, was a sentimentalist, and lie want
ed that the one letter should be the
dearest of all. The first that met his
eye he laid aside in the belief that it
would prove the dearest. Miss Carter
had penned it when he lay 111 of fever
nt San Jose de Guatemala. "Your ca
ble was repeated to me at Chicago,"
was the message. "Otherwise I should
have been with you now. I know that
if your illness continued you would
need a nurse, and I felt that I could
not delegate to strangers the privilege
of attending you." It was a womanly
letter—the letter of a woman mature in
heart and brain—and Claxton pondered
a long while before putting it aside.
Next came a telegram, sent to his
apartments before the telephone had
been installed: "Please eome tonight.
Am blue. Have wired Minnie stay
home." A very sweet, dependent lit
tle message, but of course not to be
thought of as the single memento of
10 close a friendship as theirs had
been. It WHS even preferable to retain
the short note which he had always
ascribed to her literary genius rather
than to her foellngs. "Each thought of
you, dropping into the waters of my
heart, produces ever widening circles
of tender recollection."
Then there was an envelope from
her, on the back of which he had com
posed a fragment of verse. It began:
Thou art so dear to mo. my love-
So deur and. oh, so necessary!
Claxton remembered that she had
prized the poem above anything else
he hail given her. "It Is so fine to be
thought 'necessary,'" she had said.
In this manner he progressed through
five of the nine packages. Each letter
seemed more desirable than the rest,
and every moment made a selection
less easy. This scrawl was a reassur
ance which she had penciled on the
leaf of her programme at the theater;
that sheet of blue paper bore the first
words of affection he had ever received
from her.
At the bottom of the Il.'i'i b'.m.lle was
a long envelope with the name of a
publishing company on its upper left
hand corner. The postmark was over
two years old. "Rejected manuscript,"
Claxton concluded, tossing it to one
side contemptuously. That had come
back In the days when rejected manu
scripts had not been half so rare as
good dinners or money with which to
pay rent. Something approaching cu
riosity made him pick up the envelope
again and draw the contents from Its
mouth. The story that lay before him
was headed. "From Frank Claxton, 211
West Twenty-first Street," but the
type unmistakably belonged to the ma
chine which still remained a fixture
at Miss Carter's. The tale was one
that she had sent over his signature to
an editor of whose opinion she had felt
certain, and it had In consequence beeu
returned to him when that gentleman
had classed it as "unavailable." "I
thought you'd get a check," Virginia
had confessed, "and I knew you'd
spend it without considering whys and
wherefores. It's just like Phelps! He
was enthusiastic over the plot when I
j told It to him last week."
"Virginia," lie hail remonstrated, "it
was like ottering me charity."
"Nonsense! 1 shouldn't have thought
of handing you money. I simply wrote
a story for you that you might have
written yourself if you had taken
time."
"Taken time! Good Lord, how much
time he had taken that year in just
such discouraging, unremuuerative la
bor! How unhappy he hud been and
how awfully, awfully hard up! He
hadn't begun spending every evening
with her then, and he had t begun
selling whatever he wrote either. "No
body ever did—at first," she had as
sured him.
For twenty minutes Claxton sat si- i
lently 011 liis chair island In the middle
of a sea of letters. His fingers clung
to the rejected manuscript, but his eyes
looked beyond it into the past. All the
half forgotten history of his love for
Virginia Carter had been recalled to
him with wonderful vividness—her un
varying goodness, the sweetness of
their intercourse, the erstwhile strength
of his affection for her. A ship's clock
in the adjoining room struck 2, the
nautical fashion of saying that the hour
was 5, and with quick resolution he be
gan climbing Into his evening clothes.
"I've come to take you to dinner," he
said to Miss Carter when she respond
ed to his pressure on the button at her
door.
"So you were lonely, too?" she asked
him.
"Lonely? By George, and those let
ters"—
She was too clever n girl not to seem
surprised, and he could not look
through the sides of her trunk Into the
tray where reposed several packages
of his letters to her, unsearched, un
touched. since first they had been read
and laid away.
The Wink Tent.
"It is easy," said an oculist, "to toil
what kind of light most thoroughly
suits your eyes. The light that is best
for you is the one wherein you wink
least. The wink, you see. is the eye's
sign of weariness. I have experiment
ed on myself, and I find that an elec
tric light Is even better for my eyes
than daylight. In daylight I wink
two and elglit-tenths times a minute,
whereas in nil electric light I only
wink one and eight-tenths times. Can
dle light is bad for me. In It I give six
and a half winks a minute. Gaslight
Is better, for In it I only give two and
a third winks."

TWENTY YEARS' SLEEP.
nip Von Winkle 1 ! I'a.e Mnj Hhyc
Been More Fart Than Klotlou.
Even superficial students ot folklore
know that the tale of Rip Van Winkle,
supposing that Irving really heard it in
the old Dutch settlements along the
Hudson, is by no means peculiar to
that district, but is found in some form
or other all over the world. In other
words, the Idea that it is possible for n
human being to survive In a state of
unconsciousness for a very long time
would seem to be either a universal
fancy or to be founded on some actual
experience.
Dr. Lancereuux In the Paris Bulletin
of the Academy of Medicine reports
Kuril an experience, the case of a wo
man who actually did, so fur as intelli
gent consciousness was concerned,
sleep almost exactly twenty years.
The patient, of a neurotic and hyster
ical family, had always beeu delicate
anil nervous. On May 31, ISB3, she
was severely frightened and fell into
violent hysteria, which after twenty
four hours passed into unconscious
ness. In this condition, interrupted ev
ery month or six weeks by sudden con
vulsive attacks, she lay until May 23,
IPO3, kept alive entirely by injections
of nourishment.
On May 23 she was seized with hys
teria similar to that at the beginning
of her sleep, and the next day there
was another On May 25
she began definitely to recover con
sciousness and by the next day was
able to speak Intelligently of events
before her sleep and could also remem
ber from day today since her waking.
Of happenings during her sleep, such
as the drawing of some of her teeth,
she knew nothing. On the evening of
May 28 she died peacefully.
The particular ease is of interest
chictiy to the medical profession, but
the general fact of survival in uncon
sciousness for a very long time shows
how such tales as those of the Sleeping
Beauty, the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus
and Rip Van Winkle, to mention only
the most familiar examples, could have
originated from actual experience and
observation. Very likely such cases oc
curred more than once.
"Truth is stranger than fiction," runs
the old saying. It Is undoubtedly more
correct to say that fiction is merely en
larged, reduced, distorted and other
wise decorated fact and that without
a fact within general knowledge from
which to start fiction could not exist.
It is entirely safe to conjecture that at
some prehistoric period, sleeping not
out of doors, of course, but under shel
ter, and for many weeks and probably
months, if not years, there was a Rip
Van Winkle.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
A Tarpon Scareeroiv.
Times and places there are where the
tarpon have been so numerous and so
free in their antics as to be a pest to
the small fishermen, who in a certain
bay once harpooned a lordly fish, lash
ed him to a keg and pointed him to the
open sea.
Drawing the floating barrel, he went,
splashing terror to his kindred, an
aquatic scarecrow. And as the mili
tant hogshead, ferried by a leaping
twelve stone fish, went marching down
the bay all tarpon, great and small,
took warning that they must keep their
performances within the bounds of de
cency.—Country I-ife In America.
To Keep Hill Street Clean.
Keeping Mill street cleau and pre
sentable, fiiuoe being paved, is a prob
lem that is not yet solved to the sat
isfaction of all. The street,which wan
cleanly flashed last Saturday a we3k,
by the middle of last week began to
show np very badly. It has become
apparent that a street sweeper will
have to be purchased to nse in connec
tion with sprinkling or that some oth
er measure equally as efficacious will
havo to be employed. Council hv» not
abandoned tl o idea of flashing the
street witli lire ho.se. The objection
that the force of the water from tin
mains has the tendency to dislodge the
cement from between the bricks is met
by the suggestion that the nozzle b>
removed from tl e hose.
Hy actiou of Council this plan will
he adopted as an experiment and dur
ing two weeks the streets will he kept
clean t»y flashing. The work is to he
in the bauds of the Street Commission
or, who twioe this week and next will
apply water by fire hose using no noz
zle. He will makj a report at next
meeting of Council, when further ac
tion will :*e takon.

The chief peculiarity about the whole
of them Is an entire absence of luggage.
A young friend of by own was one of
them. Ills luggage for the two days of
his first visit to Paris consisted of a
comb and an extremely aged tooth
brush, and before leaving Paris he ask
ed me to keep his overcoat for him till
he returned. 4 They will only spoil it,
and It is a new one,' was his plea.
"I counted the valises of a whole
train load of conscripts who accompa
nied my friend, and they numbered ex
actly four. 'Those four will have their
lives teased out of them tomorrow,'
was the verdict of a private under
arms upon the platform."

How Is
Your Heart?
Is your pulse weak, too slow,
too fast, or do«s it skip a beat?
Do you have shortness of
breath, weak or hungry spells,
fainting,smothering or choking
spells, palpitation, fluttering,
pains around the heart, in side
and shoulder; or hurt when
lying on left side?
If you have any of these
symptoms your heart is weak
or diseased, and cannot get
better without assistance.
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
strengthens weak hearts, and
rarely ever fails to cure heart
disease. Try it, and see how
quickly you will find relief.
"About January Ist, 1902, I took
down with weakness and dropsy,
md gradually grew worse. I was told
by my family physician that my ease
was houeless. My neighbors and fam
ily had given me up to die. My
limbs and body were swollen to one
third larper than normal size, and
water had collected around my heart. |
For at least three months I had to sit !
propped up In bed to keen from smoth
ering. I sent, for five bottles of Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure, and by the time I
had taken them all I was entirely
cured. I feel better than I have for
twenty years, and I am able to do !
any kind of work on my farm. My
attending physician told me that if it
hadn't been for Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
I would now be in my grave."
L. T. CURD, Wllmore, Ky. !

your druggist, who will guarantee that I
the first bottle will benefit. If It fails
he will refund your money.
