In this fact alone is found proof that it is the dishonest rather than the honest man who is out ot the ordinary. Now here's the case of Alex. V. Phillips, of Boston. He is an insurance man, and a successful one. Perhaps some people may be disposed, in view of recent revelations concerning insur ance men, to accept this story with a large allowance of salt ; but it is ab solutely true. Mr. Phillips turned lip in Dubuque, la., the other day, and hunting up one Julius Gregory, whom he had never seen before, said: "When my father died he owed you 850. I want to pay you the amount with interest," and he handed him a clueck for $l5O, despite tho fact that the creditor had 110 record of the debt. Then he hunted up Mrs. Zangniaster and paid her 8900. Several other debts were paid in like manner, and Mr. Phillips said he felt better. And this is only one case. A good many ycare ago one of the largest stove manufacturing concerns in St. Louis failed. Twenty years afterwards, the man who had been at the head of that concern, called together all the men to whom money hail been due at the time of the failure, and to each he gave a check for the full amount with interest, notwithstanding the fact that the courts had long since discharged him of all obligation. There are many other instances of a similar kind, and not one in ten of them ever get into print, for the simple reason that men who do such things are not the sort who itch for notoriety. Yes, indeed, there are honest men in tho world and plenty of them. In fact the ma jority of meu are houest. The ihief and tho scoundrel is the exception and not the rule. —WE would not for a minute ap pear in tho light of approving the do ings of an lowa girl by the name of Bessie Algroves; in fact we unhesitat ingly declare our utter disapproval, and we think nearly everybody will agree with us in saying that Bessie is a bad, bad girl. But then it must have been funny when she locked her parents up in the cellar and ran away with her sweetheart. Possibly there may be some people who will justify her act on the ground that it is a poor rule that will not work both ways, but then we are not of that number. Just the same the neighbors must have had the laugh on Bessie's pa rents. For lo ! these many years hard-hearted parents have been cruel ly separating fond lovers by locking up their daughters and setting the dogs on their daughters' beaux. Per haps it was from much reading of such stories that Bessie got the idea of reversing the older of things. Any way it was this way : She wanted to marry Abe Gunnells, whose home was at Mason City, while she lived with her parents at Prairie Centre, Her parents objected to Abe, and refused to relent. A few days ago, just alter the mid-day meal, Bessie discovered something wonderful in the cellar, and called her mother and father to come quickly. All unsuspecting, they ran right into the trap. She slam med the door shut, and locked and bolted it. Then she asked if they would let her marry the man of her choice; they refused. For two hours she asked the same question every five minutes, but they remained stubborn. Then she put some food and water on the window sill where they could reach it, and told them she was going away to get married, and they would have to stay in the cellar until she re turned. And that is just what they had to do. Bessie hied her away to her fond lover, and the parents re mained in the dark cellar all night, and until the newly married pair re turned and released them, and ac cepted their forgiveness. But what do you suppose Abe thought of the proceeding? If she could and would treat her parents that way, what is she not likely to do to her husband some of these days ? Pertinent. An honest man will not overwork a borrowed horse. The road to trouble is all down grade and always nicely shaded. The "dignity of labor" does not demand kid gloves and a "plug" hat. Birds of the highest flight frequent ly roost very low. Character is capital that 110 man can dispense with in business and hope to succeed. Not every shorthand writer becomes a person of note in the world. Laughter is a wonderful lubricant; try it next time you get rusty or crusty. Appearances are deceitful; not every square-jawed man is "on the square.'' Do the best you can, and don't waste time worrying about the world not finding it out. Q==z . That Speech of Barney's By In*. Wright R&naon Copyright, 1906, by IDA Wright Hanson , » G Had Irinda been beautiful or had she known that there were times when she was very charming Indeed it never would have happened. Irlnda's worst fault was morbidness when she remembered that she was sallow and pale eyed and had sandy hair when she would have preferred pink anil white complexion, <lark eyes and golden hair. She would have add ed dimples and beautifully arched eye brows, too, if she could have had her way about It. As a matter of fact, It was only when she was remembering her ugliness that she really was ugly. Iler face lu her times of forgettlug pic tured quite pleasantly her pure spirit and loving heart. Irinda and a Jolly lot of ottier music lovers were on a train bound for Sau HElt BYES WANDEHHD TO Tllß OPPO6ITB BIDB OP THE CAB. Francisco and a week of grand opera. Jim, her satellite, was along, not be cause he appreciated grand opera, but because he appreciated Irinda. So mi' .h for tho hero and heroine. Next tlii# villain, to whom his Celtic mother had given a ravishing pair of blue eyes and a tongue tuned to soft words. Barney was not a villainous villain at all—Just a warm hearted boy who loved everybody and wanted to be loved l>y everybody In turn. He must have the villain's part because there cannot be a second hero and because— Rut you shall see. As the train speil along Jim went to tlie smoker—not-to smoke, for he hod never learned how, hut because ho feared Irindn might he tiring of him. Barney Immediately took ills place. Soon after n lady and gentleman boarded the train. As Irinda's seat had been turned so that her back was toward the engine, the newcomers were in full view of her. The lady bent her head, and some rice fell from her smart brown turban. The gentle man smiled, and the lady's cheeks went red as roses. Then she opened her magazine and tried to look uncon scious. "Oh, Barney," breathed Irinda, "Isn't the bride lovely? Do look at that but terfly In her veil Just at the corner of her sweet red mouth! See that perfect curve from her forehead to her chin as she looks out the window. Now, quick, Barney, she Is turning to her husband. See her beautiful eyes. They're as brown as her dainty hat." Barney's ravishing eyes glanced at the beautiful lady, Barney's quick mind took In the situation, and Bar ney's warm heart rose to the occasion. Smilingly he turned to Irinda. "Why, I never think of a woman's looks, whether she has a pretty face or not. That doesn't appeal to me. When I know a woman she attracts me or not according to whether or not she has magnetism. Magnetism Is as good a name as any other for what no one understands. But, believe me, Irinda, magnetism Is the charm of a woman, not a pretty face." Barney's blue eyes said so much more than his tongue, rolling ever so slight ly bis "r's," that Irlnda's colorless face flushed becomingly. The eyes said that she, Irinda Bo wen, had the magnet ism, or whatever it was, and that it had never occurred to Barney whether or not she was pretty. Happy thoughts fluttered around Irin da for the rest of the Journey. Barney left her, and Jim came back. She smiled at him. lie didn't know It was an Impersonal smile, born of Barney's words. She remembered the day when she had cried out fiercely at her lack of beauty, and Jim bad answered: "What difference you look like? Y'ou are always beau tiful to me, Irinda." He never knew why she had pushed him away when he would have put his arms around her. Stupid old Jim couldn't know that he had made a tacit acknowledgment of her ugliness, while Barney—why, Barney had never thought anything about it. Grand opera week went by In a di apason of glory. Irinda was wonder fully happy, and every day she told herself shyly and with many blushes how much she was caring for Barney. It was not till they were homeward bound that the tragedy happened. The tragedy? No, It was not the train leaving the rails and plunging dowu au embankment. It was only Barney's pleasant voice, rolling ever so slightly his r's—lt was only Barney making this remark to Alderly, tho chaperon's husband: "I have been noticing tho ladles In this car, and I don't believe I ever saw so many beautiful ones together. Don't you know It Is rare to And a really beautiful woman? If her eyes are line, something Is wrong with her chin; If her nose"— Irinda felt sick and voluntarily clos ed her ears, while her sun seemed to leave Its horizon. Barney, who never thought of a woman's looks, was dis cussing woman's beauty! Then he had not meant what he bad said to her at all. Irinda felt very much as she had when some one told her that George Washington and his little hatchet and William Tell aud the apple were prob ably only pleasant stories. But at the same time she was suddenly conscious that she did not love and never had loved Barney. Her eyes wandered to the opposite side of the car, where Jim But alone. A little flicker of sunshine was touching his brown hair with gold. Irinda, with a quick lndrawlug of her breath, remembered that it had looked Just so the morning her mother UNCOOKED MEAT IS VERY DANGEROUS Fearful Suffering Caused by Eggs of Parasite Which it may Con tain- Statement by a Priest. Cincinnati, O. Feb. 21. Prob ably the most unusual feature of the excitement that has IK OH created by L. T. Cooper's visit to this city is the removal ot parasites or tape-worms by his preparations. During the early part of Cooper's stay in Cincinnati individuals who were taking "New Discovery," as it is called, brought either to himself or to physicians througout the city im meuse parasites that had left the sys tem after usiug the medicine. Many of these people were fright ened, and cases of this sort became so numerous that Cooper finally made the following statement for publica tion : lie said: "In every city I visit these things are brought to me within a few days alter my medicine is sold in the city. They are what is known as the tape-worm, and grow to an enormous size." "Few indeed realize how prevalent these creatures are. I think I have been the first to demonstrate what a large factor they aie in the poor health of! this generation. I believe that fully one-half of the chronic stomach trouble so universal is caused by these parasites.'' "Individuals may have them for years and not be aware of the reason for the continued ill health but at tribute it to many different diseases, when in reality one of these creatures is robbing them of their vitality." "These parasites are taken into the system in uncooked food or raw meat, in the form of an egg, which hatches almost immediately. People suffering from them experience a feeling of lassitude and are extremely nervous. The action of the 'New Discovery' seems to be fatal to these great worms, and in most cases a few doses of the medicine drives the creatures from the system I will have hundreds of them brought to mc before I leave the city." This grewsotue prophecy has been is. SlOll ■ THE Tr: D w c r MRD The largest yard and the best Coal at tho lowest prices. 2240 lbs to every ton, and all my coal is kept under cover.

Miserably father and daughter had communed together. She must be told, but each shrank from the telling. Just then Jim had come. He had been llko a son to Irinda's mother, and they relegated the task to him, knowing that Jim never had shirked a duty In his life. She remembered how he had gone about It—not smoothing over the sad facts at all, but with eyes and manner and words so full of sympathy and tenderness and stanch hope of the un known future that death seemed to lose something of Its dread. And as she, at the foot of the bed, had lifted up her tear stained face she saw a ray of sunlight touch Jim's hair Just as It was doing now. She tried to picture Barney In the death chamber. He would not have lacked In sympathy, but he would have tried to bring encouragement where no encouragement could bo. She drew contrasts as she watched the brown hair turning golden—contrasts between foam of the sea and the cool blue depths of the ocean Itself, between a bending reed and a sturdy pine, be tween Irresponsibility and true heart edness. Then she went over to the Beat where Jim sat alone. The face he turned toward her startled her with Its sternness. "Irinda, I havo loved you for a long time, but you've always put me off from telling you. It may as well bo settled now and forever. I want you for my wife, and I'll do my best to make you happy. I don't want any trifling, child. Just plain yes or no." "Jim, If you really want any one so selfish and ugly and foolish as I am I'm sure you're more than welcome, I'm uot worthy to be your wife, though," she replied humbly. "Thou art all that Is fair to me, my beloved." Jim's voice was hushed as one who prays. Ills eyes, looking down rever ently at his little sweetheart, wore wondrous In their great happiness, and Irinda, though tearful, smiled content edly In answer, That Closet.

Some of these parasites are of such enormous size as to startle the im agination. The statement of Father ■ John Baptist Arnolis, one of the best known and best beloved priests in this section of the country verifies this. His statement, among others given to a reporter, was as follows: i"For years I suffered from what I • thought was a general run down con ■ dition of the system caused by stom ach trouble, i fult extremely tired all the time, and it was a great effort i to attend to my duties. I would wake I up in the morniug feeling as worn out as when L went to bed. If I stood for any length of time I would have pain in the lower part of my back, and would have to sit down." i"I was very nervous and depressed i in spirits, and was troubled with • dizzy spells. I would see spots before '| my eyes when I stooped over and • j raised up quickly. 1 had a very ir ! regular appetite, and would have pal pitation of the heart after ascending ■! the stars." "The talk about Cooper's prepara tions was so universal that I decided to try some, although I do not take patcut medicines as a rule. I took four doses of the 'New Discovery' as I it is called, and a tape-worm about ninety feet in length left my system." ■ "I am very thankful for this great ; relief, anil now I kuoiv what has been ' the cause of all my sufferings." This story of Father Arnolis is a fair sample of the experience of an , astonishing number of Cincinnati • people, and Cooper's preparations are i j selling here in immense quantities. It II is now estimated that he has sold one : hundred thousand bottles to date in this city alone, and the sale is atill in i creasing. Exchange Pick-lips [Too lute for last Week.] MR.
