A MOTHER'S STORY.
HAPPINESS COMES AFTER. YEARS
OF SUFFERING.
Thr Terrible Experience of a Well Known
OOlriHl's Wile—A Story Tbnt Ap
peals to Every Mother In the
band.
From (he Chattanooga t Tenn. t Press.
No county official In East Tennessee Is
better known nntl more highly esteemed than
Mr. J. C. Wilson, Circuit Court Clerk of
Rhea County, at Dayton, the home of Mr.
Wilson. He enjoys the confidence anil re
spect of all classes, and In tho business com
munity his word is as good as his bond. Just
now Mr. Wilson is receiving heart lost con
gratulations from his numerous friends be
cause of tho restoration to robust health of
his estimable wife, who has for years been a
helpless invalid. Mrs. Wilson's high stand
ing in soeiety, and her many lovable traits
of chnrnctor have won hor a host of friends,
and her wonderful recovery hus attracted
widespread attention.
As tho Press wa9 the medium of bringing
to the invnlid lady's attention the remedy
that has offocted hor remarkable cure, a re
porter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs.
Wilson, In order that the general public
might have the benefit of the sufferer's ex
perience and ho mado aware of the treatment
that Vrought such a marvelous change in
her condition. Tho reporter was wolcomod
at the Wilson homo, and the enthusiastic
lady with becoming reluetnneo gave the his
tory of her affliction and the manner in
which she was relieved i
"Yes," said Mrs. Wilson, "I was for 8
years an invalid with one of tho most dis
tressing afflictions woman can suffer. For 8
years I moped around, dragging myself with
difficulty and pain out of bed. My little
ones went untrained and were greatly n'g
lectoJ, while I looked listlessly and help
lessly at the cheerless prospect before me
ntd them. I suffered tho most intense pains
in tho small of my back, and these seemed
even greater in tho regiou of the stomach,
extending down to the groins. I suffered
agony sleeping or awake. Despair is no
word for the feeling caused by that dreadful
sensation of weakness and helplessness I
constantly experienced.
"I was treated lor my trouble by several
local pbysiclnus, but they were able to give
me only temporary relief by tho use of so !u
--lives and narcotics. 1 had almost given up
all hope of ever securing permanent relief
when I saw an account in the Press of n cure
which Dr. Williams Pink Pills had effected.
I decided to try them, as I knew tho lady
who had been cured and had great confi
dence in her statement. I began to take
fhe pills in October, 1893, and in two mouths
I was doing light housework and attending
to the children without any bad effects or
weakness, such as I had formerly experi
enced. Hitherto, I had been unable to re
tain any food, but now my appetite grew
stronger, and with it came back that old,
healthy and hearty tone of the stomach. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills cured me, and I assure
you the euro has brought a great change in
our home. I can now rejoice in my hus
band's success, fori feel that I have some
thing to live lor. Who hns a better right
to I eel this than a mother? One thing more.
I have recommended these pills to others,
and many of the women of Dayton have
taken them with good results, and it is my
greatest pleasure to recommend to ever)
suffering womnn a remedy that has done so
much for mo."
An analysis proves that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills lor Pale People contain In a con
densed form all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the bloo 1 and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un
failing specific for such diseases as locomo
tor ataxia, partial parulysis,St. Vitus'dnuce,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, norvous
hea htehe, the utter effects of la grippe, pal
pitation ot the heart, pale and sallow com
plexions, that tired feeling resulting from
nervous prostration ; all diseases resulting
from vitiated humors in the blood, such as
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, oto. The)' nre
*lso a specific for troubles peculiar to fe
males, such HS suppressions, irregularities,
and all forms of weakness. In men they
effect a radical cure in all eases urising from
mental worry, overwork, or excosses of
whatever nature.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People

Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.,

V" JUST hate it!" said
f j Julia Ives, not vio-
M lently, but plain
"What?" her
\fCrß J mother ques
tioned, in anxiety.
■ And her father
V ' v \i looked up in
startled apprehen
mSr** sion.
Not that they
* wero astonished at
Julia's havipg found something now to
despise. Sho was their only child,
aud perhaps u little spoilodaud capri
cious.
"Oh, Pelham Heights and every
thiug in it!" said Julia. Slio had on
her gray riding-habit, with a rosebud
on her lapel. "I'm sick of Pelham
Heights! Let's move ! Isn't two years
of it enough for you? Such a place—
such restrictions! You can't build a
house under four thousand dollars;
you can't keep a cow; you can't," said
Julia, satirically, "wear a silk hat
with a sack coat, or cat your salad
without oil. I want to move out in
tho woods and live in a shanty and
keep pigs!"
"Julia!" her mother gasped. And
she added with as much severity as she
was able to master, "You to bo tired of
Pelham Heights! When you havo
had such a magnificent time hero, so
much attention from all the gentle
men, and—"
"The gentlemen!" Julia murmured,
pulling ou her gauntlets. "It is the
gentlemen that I want to get away
from. You meet one Pelham Heights
man, and you know all the rest.
They're precisely alike. They're just
like the place itself—perfectly correct,
and polite, aud swell, and monotonous
aud tame, aud—and wearing! I'm
deathly tired of them! If I could
meet a—a farmer or something," said
Julia, "that didn't know anything
about clothes or tho opera, or the
books that you have to read if you're
proper, aud that woro a slouch hat
and tucked his trousers IU his boots,
and said, 'ain't' and 'du tell!'—if I
could meet him I'd marry him!" Miss
Ives informed her staring parents.
And then she went out and mouutod
her horse, changed her mind about
having the groom uccoinpany her, aud
rode off alouc.
"I don't know what to mnke of
her," said her mother, despairingly.
"She isn't liko my family. She's an
Orcult. Sho has your Aunt Felicia
Orcutt's uose, aud sho's liko hor. 1
liope she won't do auything peculiar.
I couldn't live through it. If sho
only would take a liking to some nice
fellow hero in town and settle near
us! But how slio talks!"
"Lot her aloue," Julia's father re
sponded, with a coolness which was
exasperating. "Sho's a little roman
tic just now, but she'll como out just
as sho ought to go. Sho's a level
headed girl. I'm not worrying about
Lor."
"Do you ever worry about any
thing?" said his harassed wifo. "If
she could likoHoraco Upham or Spen
cer Prescott—both eligible. But she
won't."
"She'll likesomobody just as good,"
Julia's trustful father retortod.
Miss Ives chirruped to her horso
till he struck iuto a hard trot. Poo
plo bowed and smiled from hammocks
and porches; hats flow off at hor ap
proach.
Sho saw Spencor rrcscott on his
bicycle and Mr. Upltaui in his road
cart, and she smiled iu weariness.
Perhaps her father and mother had
cousiderod it nonsense, but slio was
tirod of Polhatn Heights. Sho did
pine for something new and interest
ing.
Sho did nbominato tho Pelham
Heights society men, and she did feel
a gloomy despair of ever knowing
anybody any better, or stronger
j-iiudod, or livelier. It was all per
fectly true.
It was a beautful day, aud sho
wanted to get us far away from towu
ii 9 sho could.
Bingo enjoyod tlio outing as keenly
as his mistress. He trotted smoothly
and swiftly. At turning of a new
road, Julia reined him at last, hesita
tingly, then sent him on.
The road looked smooth. It was
inviting, at any rate; there was a
shady thicket on cither side.
Miss Ives threw back her graceful
head and drank in the woody fra
grance. Bingo bounded along with
positive enthusiasm. But Bingo was
rather young and sometimes heedless
without a strong guiding hand, and
Julia had forgotten everything but
her triumphant enjoyment of being
live miles away from Pelham Heights.
At an unlooked-for uueveDuess in
the newly-made road, Bingo stum
bled, could not recover himself and
came down on his knees, with a fright
ened whinney, and his mistress was
thrown to the ground.
She was on her feet the next in
stant. Had anybody seen her—her,
that was rated the best horse woman
in the region? She felt a dreadful,
creeping certainty that somebody had;
and she was right.
Out from the tanglo of young trees
on the left came stalking a young man
with a gun and a dog.
"Great Scott!" ho ejaculated. "I'm
just in time. Are you hurt?"
"Not in the least," said Julia.
Her noso—the nose which partook
of the qualities of her father's Aunt
Felicia's—went up a haughty three
inches. Bingo got on his feet aud
looked crestfallen.
"Well, your habit is torn a little,"
the young man observed, eying tho
tear wfth a twinkling expression.
Julia could have boxed his oars.
"I presume I should have dis
covered it," she retorted, stroking
Bingo's nose.
"Xo doubt. Aud your posy came
off," said tho stranger, picking up the
falleu rosebud. "A Jack, isn't it ?"
Julia fixed him with a severo look ;
but that look revealed to her some
interesting facts—interesting aud
amusing.
He was a tall fellow, blonde-haired
and blue-eyed aud darkly sunburned;
his eyes were really tine, and ho wore
a faded coat and disreputable looking
old soft hat. He looked a good deal
like a tramp, but there were the gun
and dog.
"An American Beauty, sinco you
are particular about kuowiug," said
Julia, frigidly.
"I am particular about everything;
it's my nature," said the young man,
in a touo of mild apology. "And
you''l excuse me, but it disturbs mo
to see your bat 011 one side—fearfully
on one side."
Julia's frowning oye3 met his. She
could not hold out against his mis
chievous, gay impertinence. She
laughed.
"I did look absurd, I suppose, and
Bingo, too. We never made such a <
break be Tore, did we, Bingo? Is my
hat straight now, please?"
"Perfectly,geometrically. Seriously,
I was frightened when I saw you go
over. Are you cortaiu your'e not
hurt?"
"Not a bit."
She blushed a little under his look
of concern.
"But you are shaken up a little bit.
Let me tell you!" ho said, almost
shyly, his stroug, brown baud oil
Bingo's shoulder. "There is a farm
house only a quarter of a mile up the
road, aud I know the people well. If
you will ride up there with me, I will
get you some milk, or buttermilk,
whichever you like best. I happen to
know the quality of it. I've had many
a meal there."
"Is buttermilk the best tiling to
take when you'vo fallen off your
horse?" said Julia.
"Always. You know thoso little
books about first aid to the injured?
Buttermilk is always recoiutnoudod in
a case like this. v
"You are ridiculous," Julia said,
laughing.
"It isn't buttermilk alone,you know.
Mrs. Mclutyro makes splendid ginger
bread, and she's boon baking to-day. ;
It melts in your mouth."
Tho buttons wero off his coat—most '
of them. Ho was peculiarly graceful; •
ovory move was easy. Whut was he? I
who was ho?
"I don't know," Julia murmured.
"I—"
"Is it too unconventional?" said her j
now acquaintance. "Don't say so.
You don't know Mrs. Mclntyre's gm- i
ger-cake—you don't, indeed!"
"Unconventional?" Miss Ives
echoed. "I hate conventionality !"
Tho young man oast a look at her |
faultless attire.
"So do I," ho rospondod, quite I
solomuly. "Do come, then. I can
smell that giugcr-cako 'way here."
"You aro ail incorrigible joker,"
said Julia, biting her lips as she
laughed. "I will go," she added,
with a pretty graciousuess quite licr
own ; aud ho helpod her to mount.
She rode back past the scouo of the 1
accident seveutoou short miuutos later.
Sho looked at tho spot where ho had
stood and laughed at her, and felt such
a sharp regret that she should 800 him
110 more, that sho would not admit it
oven to herself.
Sho had loft him at Mrp. Mclntyre's ;
sho looked back impulsively ; but tho
house was out of sight. She had not
tho faintest notion as to who he was.
For all she know ho was a farm-hand.
But ho was a strangely clover and well
bred and handsome farm-hand, and—
and fascinating.
And sho was going back to relham
Heights —back to Spencer Prescottaud
1 loraco Upham. Her head drooped ;
her eyes dwelt on tho dusty road soin
brously.
"Bingo," she said, "I'm sorry wo
camo out this way. Yes, I am."
There was a hop at Pelham Heights
club house, a week later. It was small,
booauso tho club was exclusively and
early.
Mr. and Mrs. Ives aud their hand
some daughter camo into tho ballroom
at nino o'clock, and wero liemmod in
directly by a small crowd of men—Mr.
Upham and Mr. Prescott, aud half a
dozen others.
And Miss Ives's card was almost full,
when old Judge Lambert reached over
the head of the shortest man in the
surrounding throng, and touched her
arm.
"♦Save a dance for Jack Harcourt,
Julia!'' ho commanded, with jovial fa
miliarity. "My friend John liar
court—Mrs. Ives, Miss Ives, Mr.
Ives."
Julia was looking her best, in a pale
green silk and cloudy chiffon; but
when sho looked up at tho judge's
friend, she gaz.ed and smiled and
blushed till she looked quite dazzlingly
pretty.
"Allow me I' he said.
Somebody had taken her first dance,
but she forgot it. Sho took Mr. liar
court's proffered arm and walke.laway
with liiiu.
Neither of them spoke, but ill a se
cluded corner of the room he pulled a
dried rosebud out of an inner pocket
and dangled it before lier eyes.
"I was so glad you let me keep it!"
he murmured. "It was kind in you."
"I didn't know you ha l it," said
Jnlia, striving to frown, and smiling
instead, with the happiness she could
not smother. "Give it right buck to
me."
"Never !" said Mr. Hnroonrt. If ho
had boon handsome in a dilapidated
coat and a slouch hat, he was a strik
ing in a dress suit, with a white llower
iu his buttonhole. "You see your
self how I havo carried it around with
me. Give it back?"
Julia mot his bantering look and re
turned it.
"You looked precisely like a tramp,"
she remarked, "or a iarni laborer, uud
I thought you wero. Are you?"
"Come out on the piazza," said Mr.
Harcourt, laughing, in gay content
ment. "No, I'm not a farm hand,
Miss Ives. I'm a lawyer up in the city,
and when I feel tho need of total rest
I bury myself down therein tho woods
with the Mclntyres for two weeks or
so. and liuut and iisli. Sometimes the
judgo ferrets ino out and makes me
stop a night with him and go to some
'function' hero iu Pelhnm Heights.
So I bring my dress suit along as a
provision against that catastrophe.
This time, Miss Ives," said Mr. Har
court, slowly and softly, "it is not a
catastrophe. This time I bless tho
dear old judge from tho bottom of my
heart 1"
Six months later, Miss Ives's engage
ment to Mr. Harcourt, tho prominent
young lawyer, was announced with
pomp and ceremony, and nobody was
surprised.
Julia's mother drew long breaths of
peaceful relief.
"I am so glad?" she said to her hus
band, in her thankfulness. "Ho you
remember what alarming notions tho
child had awhiio ago! She worried
me terribly. And now sho is going to
marry John Harcourt, tho most de
lightful society man I over met, auil
have nu establishment right here in
relhani Heights for all but a few
months iu the wiutor, and do every
thing just as wo could have wished.
And she is so happy with it all! Don't
you feel thankful?"
Julia's father chuckled for sovcr.il
moments.
"Didn't I tell you sho'd como out
in good shape!" he queried, ",81m
did havo some notions one while, didn't
she? It's tho point of view, you see
it's tho point of view."—Saturday

Brazen Impudence lie Thought.
Awest-bonud train had just pulled
out of the Union Station at Albany,
says the Express, and the conductor
was harvesting tickets. All the seats
were taken ami several passengers wore
obliged to.stand up. Among the latter
was a diffident-looking, mild-mannered
man, who refused to give up a ticket.
"Wnou I get a seat, you get a ticket,"
ho remarked mildly, but firmly; "you
are probably awaro that the company
can not collect fares from passengers
whom it docs not provide with seats."
I "Oh, come now, that don't go; I want
j your ticket, see?" Thus spoke the
conductor. "No seat, no ticket," la
conically observed the passenger.
"We'll sec about that," growled the
oonductor, who hustled urouu 1 an 1
finally found a brother-conductor who
was going up tho road away, whom ho
iuduccd to give up his seat to the
1 mildly firm passenger. I 'There's a seat
I for you; now give mo that ticket," sail
the conductor, in a ferocious tone.
I "Certainly, here it is." And the mild,
but firm, passenger handed out a pass
good to Chicago.
Improvement in Balloons.
A description was given in a con
temporary of the Govorumeut balloon
est'ihlishmout near Far nil am, \Ahich is
under the direction of Colonel Tem
plar. Balloons nro made there of sev
eral thicknesses of gold-beater's skin,
and aro charged v.ith hydrogen in
stead of the customary coal gas. The
hydrogen is obtained cither by the re
action of zinc and sulphuric acid or
by the electrolysis of water, and costs
about oiglit shillings per 100'J cubic
feet. For transport it is compressed
into iron cylinders to a tension of
about 100 atmospheres. A properly
and symmetrically inad3 and mounted
balloon is said to gyrate comparatively
little, and it goes without saying tint

Sea Waves May Make Electricity.
A number of men are at work erect
ing portable houses near the concourse
at Coney Island, Brooklyn. Inquiry
as to what they wore for elicited the
reply: "For Edison, Watch and
wait." It is said that Edison is goiug
to experiment in using tho sea waves
I as a motive power for generating elec
tricity. It has long been known to
him that by floating a series of large
casks attached to each other by chains,
and anchored so as to rise and fall
with the waves, they could, by menus
of rods communicating witli rachet
wheels placed in power houses on the
shore, be made to revolve dynamos
and generate electricity.—Chicago

THEY MISSED £300,000
How tlie British Government Let That
Sum blip Thro' Their Fingers.
All England ialdeeply interested in
a new mystery—what became of King
I Theebaw's crown jewels and other
wealth when tho Hntish occupied the
! palace in Mandalay, Burmah, alter
the campaign of 1885.
This question has come up through
tho death bed confession of a private
in the West Surrey liegiment, who
declares that he and a companion,
I'rivate William White, secured all
or a portion of these treasures and
hid them in a moat in the vicinity.
This statement has been made public,
and Private White has been sent to
Burmah to help recover tho treasure.
At the time of tho British occupa
tion orders were given by the Gov
ernment that the annexation of Bur
mah should be carried out peacefully
and without bloodshed, and every en
deavor was made to obtain King
Theebaw's submission. But he re
fused to comply with the British de
in and;?, and the troops were marched
from the tiot.il ato the palace walls.
An assault was then made, and the
: palace was occupied. Shortly after
: Theehaw abdicated, and he and his
two wives were sent oil by steamer
As soon as the King had given his
submission guards wero hurriedly
placed in the royal rooms to protect
the jewels of countless worth which
were known to be there. And great
was the British disappointment when
it was discovered that the treasures
had disappeared. Among these mis
sing treasures was a gold calf weigh,
ing several hundred-weight, as well
as a portion of the rega ia and quan
tities of precious stones. The crown
i is studded with rubles and diamonds
and is surmounted by a peacock.
At the time suspicion rested on
tho Burmah Ministers and tho maids
of honor, and every cllort was made
ito truce the treasure, but without
avail. Now, after ulna year,, the
i whole subject c omes up on tills con
fession of a orivato soldier who was
present at the attack on the palace,
and who declared that lie and a eoin
j iwinion buried the stolen plunder be
] neath a sentry-box.
Theebaw's kingly wealth was ln
| disputable. lie had accumulated
Irom his ruby mines a most valuablo
ccliection of stones, and ills insignia
wero set with diamonds of tho rarest
i r 7.0. What was known as his
j betel-box was of puio gold, and tho
cover was ornamented with rows of
rubies and diamonds, the center ruby
alone weighing thirty-nine and one
half c a rats. There was also in this
collcctiou a golden ewer, made as a
' receptacle for sacred water to be used
at the coronation. It was done in
the shape of a craylisb, of pure gold
and studded with jewels.
The crown is also of gold and cov
ered with pearls and diamonds.
These articles, together w.th the
royal peacock and the Honza, were
present at all royal audiences and
were ther I .ore familiar to the many
agents and otliccrs of the British Gov
ernment who had been admitted to
Theebaw's presence. They were, in
tact, carried about with him.
Through all this picturesqueness
one can perceive an earnest pique
that Great Britain somenow failed to
gobble that thirty-nine carat ruby.
It Killed tho Cure.
"Johnnie Smith! You whispering
again?" demanded an Oakland
teacher of a particularly mischievous
hoy.
'•Ycssum "
' Well, come up here and get the
mousetraps on."
\ She stcod tho boy in one corner
I with a heavy mouse-trap dangling
from each ear. They pinched and
pulled, and Johnnie winced, twisted,
| and then commenced to bawl.
. "What's tho matter now?" asked
; tho teacher. "Those don't hurt
much."
j "That ain't it," whispered the boy.
"Well, what is it?"
"it's a shame. That's what it is,"
i he Gobbed.
"What' a shame? To punish you
tor whispering?"
"No, hut I was born with big cars
that stuck out like a barn door open,
and I've had to sleep with 'em tied
back to my head ever since. Now
my step father pulls 'em and you put
mouse traps on 'em till this tying
back don't do any good, aud I'll have
ears like a veal cutlet."
The teacher removed the mouse
! traps from his ears and in\orted the
empty waterbucact over his head as
a substitute.—San Francisco Post
