The following tale was related to the writer as true, and lie be lieves it to be true. A woman came to Chicago for treatment at the hands of the notorious Dowie. This man claims to make no fees for his services, but charges his victims board. Time wore on, and iu spite of faith, prayer and the rest, the patient found herself no hotter. Dowie said to her: "Have you made your offerings at the altar?" She replied that she had "offered" everything in the world but her return ticket. Dowie retorted: "I thought you were holding back something from the Lord. You have not enough faith." So she sold her ticket and offered the proceeds at the "altar." Still she did not re cover her health, whereupon she received from Dowie the comsort ing assurance that the devil had a grip upon her too strong to be broken, and that she was doomed for this life and the hereafter. Aud yet people wonder why so many "Uouters" are fished out of the lake! What other resource is there left for them? Allured by the specious appeal to a faith that hiis kv! taught them from in i ".-'. !.1..7 en: bark their all in .-1 .; tl:msevesof their . - xt the suggestion of tl ' ; st li'-ityk'd vicegerent of God and finally, crushed by the awful condemnation, or shamed to re turn to friends and confess their folly, the friendly waters close over them. Several curious questions sug gest themselves: Are there any limits to human -gullibility? Has Dowie any conscience at all, any dread of the hereafter aad the final accounting to be made by him to the Deity he so shamefully misreprjsents? Or is his rhinoceros hide impervious alike to contempt from without and stings from within?. Wo have heard of numerous reasons given for matrimony. The majority are good, some are odd and a few are almost foolish. A story comes from Wilkesbarre giving a reason belonging to a class by itself. A man and wo man, who were neighbors.disput ed as to the ownership of a pig. The case got before a magistrate who, hapjHjned to be a modern Solomon, decided to kill the pig and give half to each. The clai inuats concluded that rather than let it be killed they would get married and both keep it. The modern Solomon married them and the three went home and are presumed to be living happily to gether. This reason is somewhat bestial. They are not the first man or woman who married and got a pig thereby. ' ';I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health and my life. I was treat ed in vain by doctors for lung trouble following lagrippe. I took One Minute Cough Cure and re covered my health." Mr. E. H. Wise, Madison, Ga. Trout's drug store. Willed A Fortune. Miss Veronica McDermott, of Mt Savage, has been willed a for tune by James S. C. Leary, of Dublin, Ireland, on condition that she marries Dr. Elroy McCoy, a practicing physician living in Colorado. Dr. McCoy is a first CQUsin of the testator. Miss Mc Dermott was a nurse at St. Ag nes' Hospital, in Baltlmore.where Mr. Leary, who was taken ill while in this country, underwent treatment. She won his esteem by her patience and good care. When he recovered he returned to Ireland, but before leaving made a will in which he made his nurse a beneficiary. Miss Mc Dermott received one letter from Mr. Leary after his arrival in Ire land, in which he stated that his health was poor. He died a short time ago. Recently a letter was received by a Baltimore physician from a Dublin attorney, commu nicating the intelligence of Mr. Leary 's death and Miss McDer raott's good fortune. The bulk of the estate, estimated at $500, 000, is left to various charitable institntions. Dr. Elroy McCoy, of Cripple Creek, Colorado, re ceives $100,000, and Miss McDer mott is left $50,000 on condition that she marries Dr. McCoy with in a year. Failing to do this she is to receive $10,000 and the dif ference is to be used in building an asylum for homeless boys at Los Angeles. Miss McDermott is related to Mr. Abram Troxell, of Hancock, and has visited there on several occasions. It Dazzles the World. No discovery in medicine has ever created one quarter of the excitement that has been caused by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.

For Coughs, Colds, Asthma,Croup,Hay Fever, Hoarseness and Whooping Cough it is the quickest, surest cure in the world. It is sold by W. S. Dicksou, who guarantees satis faction or refund money. Large bottles 50c and $1.00. Trial bot tles free. Profits In Fractions of Cents. Itis most astonishing that trade in these days is making its enor mous profits in the fractions of a cent. In one of the cities of the country there was a bank presi dent who gave his millions for philanthropic purposes. During his life, even on the days was al most to infirm to walk, he would tread sadly and brokenly to his home. One day a man met him on the street and said: "Why don't you take the street cars?" He instantly replied, "My dear friend do you appreciate the fact that a hundred dollars would have to work half a week to pay that fare?" And yet he gave two millions to a library and another million to a hospital. That is the spirit of modern money making. On the one hand it gets the millions through the fractions of cents, and with the other it spends the millions without regard to deci mals. White Man Turned Yellow. Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky.. when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doc tors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and he writes: "After taking two bottles I was wholly cured. " A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only 50c. Sold by W. S. Dickson, Druggist. Take equal parts of cold flaked fish and cold boiled potatoes fine ly chopped. Season highly with salt and pepper. Fry several slices of salt pork. Remove the scraps, put the fish and potatoes in the hot fat, stir until well heat ed, then let cook until a golden brown on the underside. Fold in half and turn out on a hot platter.

Lavender-scented sheets are the delight of dainty housewives and it is claimed that they induce sweet slumbers. Theorder is ex ceedingly fresh, clean and whole some, and old-fashioned house wives always scented their linen and drapery with sprigs of the sweet ou flower. Italian orris root is sometimes substituted for the lavender if the latter "cannot be procured, but there is no rea son why the farmers' wives or any one who has a plot of ground large enough for a vegetable or flower garden should not raise quantities of lavender and keep the linens deliciously fragrant.

Trout's drug store. There are many people who from a false idea jf economy fail to get the best results from the j use of ice and refrigerators. A common mistake is getting a small piece of ice every day or every other day, instead of filling the ice chamber two or three times a week. The small piece of ice cannot reduce the tempera ture sufiiciently, and the result is that each new piece melts rapidly and the food cannot be kept long. It will be found at the end of the season that the cost of ice and waste of food have been much greater than if the ice chamber had been kept filled. Maria Par loa, in the Ladies' Home Journal for July. "I wish to truthfully state to you and the readers of these few lines that your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is without question, the best and only cure for dyspepsia that I have ever come in contact with and I have used many other prep arations."

"Gannon was the proprietor of the Gtlt Kd(?e lionkHfonk n La Junta, and It wag at this place that he had gome trouhle with Ilratton. The argumtmt ended by Ilratton hacking out of the door with Ms hands up, Uannon having the drop. Gannon didn't shoot then be cause his gun wasn't loaded. He had been cleaning It and lind forgotten to replace the cartridges. He'd have killed Ilratton otherwise as n matter of course. "That snme night llrntton sent word to Gannon thnt he meditated shooting htm up some on the following day. Giuiuon wnsn't a man to take to the cliffs or the cactus, having plenty of notches on Ills gun barrel himself, and he walked around the next nfternoon like a light battery of artillery. 'Big Divide Jim' Ilratton bulged him, how ever, by turning a corner suddenly as Gannon paraded down the main street, and then It was Gnnnou's hands that went up for a change. Bratton had two guns covering him, aud Gannon know his gait. " 'This,' said Bratton, 'Is where I get an even break for my coin. Now, you like me so much, Gannon, that I want you to sort of show your appreciation of me by wnllcin around town linked arms with me for awhile.' "It was up to Gannon to comply with this peculiar request. 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton Jabbed his guns back Into his belt, and then he clutched Gannon's left arm and passed It through his right. The disadvantage of this ar rangement accrued to Bratton. It left Gannon's gun arm free, while In case of argument Bratton would have to use his left gun. But 'Big Divide Jim' wasn't selfish. "The population of I.a Junta was amazed to see 'Big Divide Jim' Brat ton nnd George Gannon, who had ul ways been more or less sore on each other and who had had a quarrel that meant the death of one or both of them on the night before, walking arm In arm up and down the mnin street of the town. It looked like a peripatetic love feast between the two of 'em. But they were watching each other like cats. At the end of the street Ilratton, still with his right arm linked to Gan non's left, stopped suddenly and said: " 'George. I ain't much on the blow about any gun suddenness that I may IHissess, but I sure want to give you a chance. You thrung It Into me last night In a way that's eat up so much of the atmosphere around here that there's not enough air left In this neighborhood for both of us to breathe at one and the same time. I'm a-goln to count three, and when I say "three" It's a breakaway and a finish. You've got a loose right arm. but I ain't no hog. One two three!' "The event proved 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton the quicker man and the better marksman. Ue got Gannon through the heart, whereas Gannon's ball lodg ed In Bi-atton's right wrist. Bratton bad to suffer his right hand to be cut off that same night. "The last time I saw him was In Creede. He was sitting on the edge of a bunk In his own cabin, close to a claim he wns working. I hadn't seen him since he'd lost his hand. " 'Jim. said I, 'It's too bad you should have lost that right hand. If the fellow thnt plugged you had only got the left hand, why' ' 'Oh. I don't know,' said Bratton philosophically. 'If I'd ha' lost my left, I wouldn't have been able-, to play the fiddle any more.' "He reached under his bunk and brought forth an old violin. Then he rigged up an nttnehment he had for holding the bow In his right stump, and he played the Instrument real sweetly for me for half an hour or so.

How a Cowboy Had Fun With an Ath letic Parton. ' A clerical friend of mine told me a' capital story of a Yule man who was tho stroke our of his crew and the chief athlcto on tho football field. Ho entered the ministry nnd spent years in missionary labor in the far west. Walking one day through a frontier town, a cowboy stepped up to him and said: "l'arson, you don't have enough fun. Take a drink." The minister declined. "Well," lie said, "pnrson, you must have some fun. Here's : fnro layout. Take a hand in the game." Tho minister declined. "Parson,'' said the cowboy, "you'll die if you don't have oroe fun." And he knocked the parson's hat off his head and hit him a whack on the ear. The old athlete's spirit rose. The science which hnd been learned in the college gymnasium and forgot ten for a qunrtcr of a century was aroused, and a blow wns landed on tho jaw of that cowboy that sent him sprawling in the street. The parson walked over to him as if he had been a door rug, picked him up and dusted the side of the house with him and then mopped up the sidewalk with his form. As the ambulance was carrying the cowboy oft ho raised his head feebly and said : "Parson, what did you fool me for? You are chock full of fun." New York Times. The Divine Virtuoso. TUB GRAND FINALE.

The Armenian restaurants serve a between courses preparation which is particularly refreshing in hot weather and which might with ad vantage be added to American bills of fare. Prunes, figs and dates of the finest brands are rinsed thor oughly and are then soaked ill a quantity of cold water until they ro gain their original plumpness. The water is then turned off and saved, and boiling water, enough to cover the fruit, is poured over it. This is allowed to stand on the fruit until it is cold, when the water in which it was soaked and the juice of a lemon, and sometimes that of an orange, are added, and the mixture is sweetened. It is then poured over cracked ice and served. The fruit juice is espccinlly delicious, but tho fruit will also be liked. Reducing Coal Bills. The following experiment is so simple that it may be worth the at tention of many householders who find an accumulation of coul duet in their cellars: Mix three pnrts of ordinary garden earth with one part coul dust and pour over it h kettlef ul of boiling water, in which. has been dissolved a little washing soda. Back a fire of ordinary household cord well with this mixture. . After it lias burned for two or three min utes the caked dust gives out e clear glow of heat and burns away much slower than large coal.
