LITTLE BITS
MAKE BIG BITS
5K* IKK pigmies we dot the limitless
TH expanse of air and stars, plead
ing for single concessions. And the
giant hills, built of little grains cf
satid and powdered matter ; and the
spreading sea, made up of little (frops
of water; and the blue skv, composed
of atoms of ether; and the lives that
stand out on the pages ot Time, great
because of their mastery of little
things—all these point us back to the
common road, whereon the patient
multitude is climbing. To pick from
another's doorstep a newspaper that
has just been placed there by the car
rier, may seem very trivial; to borrow
one from a neighbor may be considered
neighborly, and to carelessly pick one
up, occasionally, ofl'a library table or
from those of the Y. M. C. A. rooms
and stick it into one's pocket, may
be thought nothing, but all thesa lit
tle things mav lead to a disruption
that may cause everlasting shame to
come upon one.
It has been noticed that thoughtless
or otherwise malicious persons have
been invading the reading rooms of
the Y. M. C. A.,repeatedly, and ap
propriating to their own use items
that interest them by clipping the
same from various contributions, and
thus rob from other readers matter of
interest to them as well.
This is not all.
The Intelligencer is sent to the Y.
M. C. A. weekly ; but, we are in
formed, is a hard paper to lind there.
Almost every week some person bor
rows it and neglects to return it.
We wquld kindly caution such per
sons, for ignorance of the cousequen
cos may lead to bad feelings some day
when they are reminded of their little
lelonious tricks.
Furthermore, don't belittle yourself
by borrowing your local paper, but
support it with your sub.cription in
advance. The Intelligencer far sur
passes all other papers in this section,
and costs no more. Think of it, we
give two papers for a whole year for
only SI.OO.
CHATEAUBRIAND IN LONDON
A Picture of the Kiticllali Capltul ol
n Century Ago.
"All the English are mad by nature
or by fashion," Chateaubriand writes
nonchalantly in the book of his em
bassy In London (1821), but he had a
very gay time with the same lunatics.
We hear of dinners, Almark's und lo
beau monde. "The clay was thus dis
tributed in London: At (1 o'clock in the
morning one hastened to u party of
pleasure, consisting o£ a breakfast in
the country; one returned to lunch In*
London; one changed one's dress to
walk iu Bond street or Hyde park; one
dressed ugaln to dine at T:30; one
dressed ugaln for the opera; at mid
night one dressed once more fir an
evening purty or rout. What a life of
enchantments! I should a hundred
times have preferred the galleys." One
smiles und reads on. He found London
full of recollections of Bonaparte. "The
people had passed from the vilitlcution
of 'Nick' to a stupid enthusiasm. His
colossal bust by Canova decorated the
Duke of Wellington's staircase."
At an evening party at Lord London
derry's, the Kngllsh premier, "I was
presented by his majesty to a severe
looking lady seventy-three years old.
Khe was dressed in crape, wore a black
veil like a diadem on her white hair
and resembled u queen who had abdi
cated her throne. She greeted me lu a
solemn vdlce with three mangled sen
tences from the 'Genie du Christian
lsme;' then she sajd to me, with no less
solemnity, *1 am Mrs. Slddons.' If she
had said to me. 'I am Lady Macbeth,' 1
should have believed her."—John J.

An Interesting Proposition.
Iu another column of this paper
appears an advertisement directed to
boys and girls who are ambitious to
make their spare moments productive
through clean, pleasant and lemuner
ative enterprise. Adams's Magazine
is a .'i'2-page illustrated monthly niag
azine devoted to the home. It con-1
tains departments oil fashions, em
broidery, household hints, table dain
ties, (lowers and plants, garden and i
farm. Beginning in the July number
will be a serial story by oue of the
most noted and famous writers of ro
mantic fiction in the world. The sub
scription price of the magazine is 10
cents a year, half of which is offered
to the boys and girls who become so
licitors. The publishers have set aside
$05,000 in order to introduce the
magazine in every locality in the
United States, and it is by virtue of
this appropriation that this liberal of
fer is made to young America.
RICE TABLE.
The rrlnclpnl Itlah n< 111 «• Mid.lay
Meal In Java.
Iu Java, as in most really warm coun
tries, it is customary to rise early and
lo take a cup of tea or coffee, together
with a biscuit and some fruity imme
diately on leaving one's bed. This Is
followed by a more substantial break
fast, but the first really serious meal Is
served at half past 12 o'clock and is
the equivalent of the French "dejeuner
a la fourchette" or the Anglo-Indian
tiflln. This meal is called rice table—
•'rystafel"—from the principal dish, a
very elaborute curry, in the preparation
of which the Malay cooks are especial
ly skillful.
The peculiarity of the rice table eon- •
slsts iu the number and variety of j
dishes presented. From these dishes
the guest has to select the materials I
which, together with the rice upon the I
soup plate before him. are to consti
tute his curry. It is also ns well to I
know beforehand that one is not re
quired to lunch solely on curry, but
that the rice table is succeeded by
courses of ordinary luncheon dishes
It Is a case, therefore, of "embarras de
richcsses."
The secend danger is that of making
up one's curry "not wisely, but too
well," and leaving neither appetite
nor capacity for the beefsteak or for
any of the other solid dishes which
subsequently appear a r yl which under
these circumstances only produce a
feeling of mingled horror and conster
nation. It Is then that one suddenly
realizes that the rice table is merely a
sort of tremendous "hors d'oeuvre."
There are two dangers to be avoided. |
In the first place, It is quite possible, j
in spite of the number of the dishes
presented singly, to say nothing of an
octagonal tray containing a separate
chutney in each of its nine compart
ments. to get no lunch at all, for noth
ing is easier than after saying "uein"
to a succession of frivolous compounds
to dismiss the one solid and palatuble
dlsli.—Pearson's.
-Please, God, make Mamie Ross a
gor>d girl. Please make her a awful
good little girl. An* If It nin't too much
trouble please make her so good that
I can take her new doll, an' she'll think
It's noble an* self snc'flcln' hever to ask
for It back again. Amen!"— Cleveland
Lender.
The liar generally passes his time

DENTAL DECAY. !
find Teeth, It la Claimed, May Lead
to Appeudleltla.
Appendicitis is often due to bad
teeth, said Mr. E. S. Thompson, lectur- i
lug at Greshan college, London. The j
saifle organisms, he said, were present 112
both In defective teeth and lu the dls- ,
rased appendix, which proved that den
ial decay >.was capable of causing ap
pendicitis.
I"1 Bee no evidence to show that our
teeth are deteriorating to an alarming
extent with the growth of civilisation,"
lie and he pointed out that an
even larger proportion of diseased
. teeth had been found among Egyptian
I and Konian remains than existed at
I present. I
j "Tobacco has au injurious effect on
the digestion," he went on, "but I do
not think that nicotine has any more
effect ou the teeth than alcohol. But
' tobacco certaluly blackens the teeth
' and so causes many persons who are
careful of their personal appearance
I to brush their teeth more often thau
they would otherwise do."
| He had found cod liver oil amazingly
successful In promoting the growth of
j teeth in children, and he recommended
I the toothbrush drill as part of the cur-
I rlculum of schools. Dr. Thompson al
! so urged the practice of washing the
teeth after meals and rubbing them
twice a day, and particularly the last
| thing at night.— Loudon Mall.
A LOVER OF SNUFF.
The Queer Will and Faneral of a
Queer Eiißllahieoiuaii.
The will of Mrs. Margaret Thompson,
which Is preserved as a curiosity at
Somerset House, England, is a tribute 1
I to the delights aud consolations of
1 snuff. The testatrix directed that iu |
' her coffin should be burled with her all
, her 'landkcschlefs and sutlicleut of the
! best Scotch snuff to cover he» body.
- This she preferred to flowers, as "uoth
j lug could be more fragruut and so re
| freshing to ine as that precious pow
-1 der." Further, the six greatest snuff
| takers In the parish of Bf. James, West
minster, were to be her bearers. Six
j old maids, each bearing in her hand a
box tilled with the best Scotch snuff to
take for their refreshment as they
walked, were to bear the pall. Before \
the corpse the minister was to walk,
carrying and partaking of a pound of
snuff. At every twenty yards a hand
ful of snuff was to be delivered to the
bystanders, and at the door of the tes
tatrix's house were to be placed two
bushels of the same quality of snuff for
gratuitous distribution. In order to in
sure the carrying out of her w!sbes the
testatrix made the legacies given by
the will dependent upon an exact and
literal fulfillment of the conditions
above named. In closing she bade aJI
concerned to regard snuff as the grand
cordial of nature.
THE PARSON BIRD.
The Tnt of \ew Zealand Can Talk,
Crovr aud Whistle.
Among the feathered inhabitants of
New Zealand there is a bird called the
parson bird, or "tui." It is about the
size and shape of a blackbird, but has
a pair of delicate white tufts at Its
throat and Is a glossy dark green oth
erwise, which looks black In the sun
shine. It can be taught to crow, to
speak, to whistle tunes, and, besides
these tilcks. It has a repertory which
Is not often equaled by any other
feathered songster. At vespers It has
a note like the toll of u bell or the
clear, high note of an organ. It can
mimic every bird In the bush to per
fection. It will break off lu the middle
of an exquisite melody and Indulge In I
a strange melody of sounds which are
Impossible to describe, but if you can
Imagine "the combination of a cough, I
A laugh, a sneeze, with the smashing
of a pane of glass," it will be some ap- 1
I proach to the Idea.
The "tul" nests twice or thrice a year
and has large families. Like the other
' birds of New Zealand, It seems to be
unconscious of danger from man. It Is
a pity that the birds of this Island are '
becoming so scarce, for they speak to j
us of a time when nature was barm- I
less, when the snakes, tiger* and fal
cons did not exist.

[ The Reckless
Hour **
By IZOLA FORRESTER
Copyright, 1904. by lzola Forrester
When she came out of the theater
all of the carriages had gone except
one. Some one stood beside it wait
ing.
She stood for a moment lobby
entrance and fastened the diamond
clasp on the chiffon and lace stole
around her throat. The pin had been
| safe enough. She had volunteered go
ing back to the boxes for it, mid had
found it sticking in the velvet arm of
Aunt Victoria's chair, Just where she
had left it.
| "Did you think that I was never
comingV" she asked aS he reached
the carriage. The figure turned
quickly at the sound of her voice, and
she found herself looking into Thorn
ton's eyes. She caught her breath and
stopped abruptly, startled and hesi
tating, afraid to let him guess the great
flood of gladness that swept over her
at sight of him. When one believes
a person to be in Manchuria It is some
what bewildering to meet that person
alone on Broadway at 11 p. m.
! lie did not speak, merely opened the
door for her.
( "ThefP is some mistake," she paused.
"Of course there is a mistake. There
always Is when I come in for anything
good. The fact remains that the rest
have g«>nc and that I was told to wait
for you."
"Who told you to wait?"
He took her by the elbow and helped
her imperatively into the carriage.
"I was with Mrs. Culver ton. She was
In the third box, and I was late. Then
Cully civne along and took her home
himself. I believe 3*our aunt told him
to wait for you, but he wanted togo
directly home, so I took his place. You
don't believe me?"
! "Oh, 3*es, I do. At least I believe
part of It. You always twist the truth
and the fairy tale together so perfectly
one can only guess at which is which.
I believe that "Mr. Culverton was asked
to wait for me."
Thornton ignored the discrimination.
He was gazing Intently at the pale
young face. It must be true all he had
heard at the club. She did not look
happy. It was Vic Wilmington's affair,
the digging up of Estevan. She always
had some two-for-a-penny title tagging
after her. It was only three weeks off
now. The thought brought with It a
flash of recklessness. They would have
her for a lifetime. Tonight for one
short half hour she was his. He leaned
toward her suddenly.
| "Gladys, are you sorry to see me?"
' "Don't." Her eyes met his In half de
fiant entreaty. "It Isn't fair."
I "Fair to whom?"
1 "To him."
1 Thornton's Jaws squared aggressive
ly.
i"He hasn't anything to say about It
yet. You needn't be frightened. The
wolf won't eat you. Won't they even
let you be glad or sorry ?"
I "Don't; please, please don't."
I "Say you are glad to see me."
I "I'm not glad to see you. You went
awuy of your own free will. 1 wish
I you had stayed."
"Until it was over?"
I "No, forever!" she retorted passion
ately. "I never wanted to see you
again."
I He
t knew she had lost the day.
• "You never wanted to see me again,"
he repeated, "because you are going to
murry a man for whom you don't care
a snap of your finger, and you did love
me."
I"I did uot." She faced him with
proud, hurt eyes and flushed cheeks.
I He laughed with a riotous sense of
happiness in her pain. If he still had
I the power to hurt her there was hope.
It was the reckless hour.
"You did, sweetheart, and you do
now, and you always will. You know
you will. Manchuria or the moon, it
won't make any difference, not If you
marry a bundled times, not If It's years
before we meet I can always come
back like this and look in your eyes
like this and see love In them like
this."
| She met his steady gaze, defiantly
at first, then In open confession, as
he said, and before ho knew it she
t had covered her face with her hands
and was crying. He felt suddenly
helpless and ashamed.
| "Gladys, don't do that. I'm a brute,
dear. I'm sorry. I won't say another
word. I'm going back this week. Stop,
dear. Gladys"—
| He deliberately drew her hands away
from her face. It was a dear face.
He had carried Its memory with him
| around the world and It had brought
him back to the starting point. He had
been poor—not decently, openly poor,
but living on hope and blue sky and
terrapin. There was another Darby
Thornton who bestowed spasmodically
unexpected and lrreguTar checks on an
undeserving grandson, also advice and
admonitions. The weight of gratitude
had become too trying. Darby had
never been able to eveu up the balauce
between the acceptance of the checks
and the following out of the good ad
vice and the admoultions.
He had thought that Gladys had
known he was next of kin to Job's
turkey. Everybody else did. He did
not mind. In a way It rendered him
harmless with undesirable parties so
far as matrimonial intentions jrere
concerned. But Gladys was desirable.
He had known that she loved him.
He had left the day after the accident.
It had been her frank betrayal then
that had shown him his course for her
sake. They had been on the train with
a party bound for the Whltnejr place at
Rosemead. There had been an acci
dent in the tunnel to the train ahead,
and the one they were on crashed into
the rear cars. In the darkness there
had come the sudden jolt aud jar of
[ grinding brakes. Some pcopl? came in
a headlong rush from the front cars,
and a woman's scream rang out, shrilly
above all. Ho had Just stopped be
side Gladys' scat io speak with her,
and_ she \yas tofiklug, nj} at hjm_ when
I
' the collision caiue. ft wus over in an
Instant. All he knew was the vivid
•enso of her arms clinging around his
I neck ns he caught her up out of the
J Beat and their lips had met for the
first time with death three car lengths
away.
I He had left Itosemcad that night.
It wus all he could do. He thought
she would understand. If not, there
was no danger but Mrs. Wilmington
would enlighten her.
The Manchuria business hod been an
opening held out by the old Darby
Thornton for some time. It was a
chance to make good by going out there
and clearing up the old boy's mercan
tile interests before the war broke out.
He had stuck to It and made good, and
tho reward had come most unexpected -
( ly when said old boy had taken a uo
j tion to die comfortably and ouDortune
jy and leave nis accumulated posses
sions to the prodigal In the far lanik
J There had been no thought during the
year of work but of Gladys. He had
, left on the tirst boat for home to claim
| the promise of the tunnel kiss and had
, found Instead Kstevan, a warranted
j imported antique, tall, suave and
• slightly gray, with an eye out for
' ready money.
The thought of It all made him des
perate tonight. He put her from him
almost roughly. In three weeks she
would bo the Countess Kstevan, chate
laine of some dinky little old castel
lated ruin in Austria. He was sorry
that he had tried to see her, sorry he
had come back, sorry he had made
Culverton change places with him.
"You had better stop crying," he said.
"We'll be there in a fow minutes. Ks
tevan might not like It."
She smiled back at him, her eyes
bright with tears.
"So you try to frighten the bad little
girl into good behavior? Well, she
doesn't scare worth a cent, Darby.
Your bogy man Is such a fragile, prop
er, tissue paper bogy man that the
bad little girl has decided he Isn't
worth being afraid of."
"What do you mean 7'
"Can't j'oii guess? You expect others
to bo so good at guessing, you know.
You expect to kiss a girl and go away
to Manchuria—or was it the moon—
and then come bacl( and find love In
her eyes. What was It? IJke this?"
She was laughing at him. He felt
angry and obstinate.
"Can you say that you never loved
me?"
"No, I cannot." Her eyes met liis with
calm, defensive candor. "Of course
! loved you. Do you think I would
have kissed you that day If I had not?
And you are right about the other too.
I shall always love you."
lie bent toward her with keen, half
shut eyes.
"And yet in three weeks you will be
his wife."
"No, I won't. Do you think I could—
after tonight? I shall break the en
gagement tonight. You have accom
plished that at least. Now, take the
tirst boat back to Mauchuria."
lie smtled slowly and happily. She
had not heard yet of the accumulated
possessions.
"We've turned out of the park," he
said. "I don't want togo to the house
ami face a crowd. Gladys, look at me.
No, straight In the eyes, please! Try to
think quickly. I've come all the way
around the world to see you. I've al
ways wanted you, you know that. I
was afraid before, and Iran away like
a coward and didn't even give you the
chance to refuse me. Will you refuse
me uowY"
"As if It made any difference?" Her
eyes were clear and true and some
what Indignant. "If I have enough
money to satisfy even Aunt Victoria
and her little count. Isn't there enough
for you? If you go back there"—
"What?"
"I shall give away all the money and
come after you?"
"Come, now!"
Iler Hps were half parted, her eyes
wistful and troubled. ,
"It will be easy to come back and
break the engagement then. You will
only have to present your husband."
"If I dared"—
He tapped qn the glass slide and
gave an order to the driver, and they
turned back down the avenue Just as
the bells were chiming midnight.

Jury. I did the best I could with the
evidence, but 1 banked most on the
fact that the defendant was a young
man with a wife and child and that It
would go hard for all or them to have
him goto the penitentiary for a term
of years.
"My whole argument led up to the
point where I closed with Uiley's little
poem 'Back From a Two Years' Sen
teuce.' When I finished, the jury was
hi t(*rs, and even the Judge and the
attorney for the prosecution were af
fected. The Jury took Just one uuiiot
and returned a verdict of uot guilty."
Italy and Her Criminals.
In Italy whenever a famous criminal
trial Is an the newspapers take sides
violently, search for evidence and as
sume all the prerogatives of the court.
That they are eveu more sensational
than the Amerlcau press In this regard
is indicated by the fact that Italians
reading accounts of great cases In the
i American papers are always struck
with the moderation of tone shown and
.wonder how it Is that Americans take
so little interest In what concerns the
whole world. "The Americans are a
great people," say the Italians, "but
cold; they don't even wann to ttielr
own criminals!"
Sir Walter Seott'a Funeral.
That is a touching story told of the
funeral of Sir Walter Scott: The road
by which the procession took its way
wound over a hill, whence can be seeu
one of the most beautiful of land
scapes. It was his habit to pause there
to goto upon the scene, and when tak
ing a friend out to drive he never fail
ed to atop there and call the attention
of his companion to the most beauti
ful points of the view. Few could re
frain from tears when, carrying their '
master on his last Journey, the horses '
stopped at the old familiar spot, as It
were, for him to give a last look at the
scene he had loved so well.
Dnrna and Fame.
It is amusing to learn that Burns
when Just emerging from obscurity
Jocularly anticipated that his birthday
would come to be noted among other
remarkable events. In a letter to his
early patron, Gavin Hamilton, In 1780
he says,"For my own affairs I am In a
fair way of becoming as eminent «3 '
Thomas a Kempls or Johu liuuyan.
and you may henceforth expect to see
my birthday insert bod among the won
derful events in the Poor ltobln and
Aberdeen Almanacks along with the
Black Monday and the battle of Both
well Bridge."

Every
Heart=Ache
Every pain in the breast, dif
ficult breathing, palpitation,
fluttering or dizzy spell means
that your heart is straining it
self in its effort to keep in
motion. This is dangerous.
Some sodden strain from over
exertion or excitement will
completely exhaust the nerves,
or rupture the walls or arteries
of the heart, and it will stop.
Relieve this terrible strain at
once with Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure. It invigorates and
strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, stimulates the
heart action, and relieves the
pain and misery.
Take no chances; make your
heart strong and vigorous with
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
"I suffered terribly with heart dis
ease. I have been treuted by
different physicians for my trouble
without results. I went to a physi
cian in Memphis, who claimecf that
J. had dropsy of the heart. He put
the X-ray on me, and in connection
with his medicine lie came near mak
ing a finish of me. Some time before
this a Mr. Young, of St. Louis, was
In our town. lie saw my condition,
and recommended Dr. MileH* Heart
Cure to ine. I gave it little attention
until my return from Memphis, when
I concluded to try it, and am pleased
to say three bottles cured me.
