Recwvared the Lock-t.
* Last August Mrs. Kennedy broke a gold
locket which she prized highly, as it
contained a picture and lock of hair of her
dead mother. She, of course, desired to
nave the repairs made by a first class jew
eler, so she intrusted the locket to the cars
of her brother, who was acquainted in the
Jewelry trade. The brother was about to
go on a trip through New York state, but
he promised toJeave the locket with a
Philadelphia Jeweler on his way to the
train and return the receipt by malt Two
days later Mrs. Kennedy received a letter
.from her brother, who said he would bring
the locket with him when he returned,
but did not mention where it was being
repaired. Early in September a dispatch
came stating that the brother had died
suddenly in Utica and that the body and
effects would be senton at once. Some
time later Mrs. Kennedy remembered her
locket, but, although she made a thor
ough search of her brother’s papers'and
clothes, she could find so trace of it. In
quiries were made of all the largo Jewel
ers and advertisements were inserted in
the newspapers, but the locket was never
found.
Recently a forlorn tramp came to the
Kennedy residence and was given some
thing to eat. In return he did some work,
and Mrs. Kennedy decided to give him a
suit of her brother’s clothes, which she
had kept. The “hobo” seemed very grate
ful, and after donning the suit left.
Thursday he returned and gave Mrs. Ken
nedy a piece of paper he had found in the
vest lining. It proved to be a receipt for
the long lost locket, which had been left
with a Well known firm of New York
Jewelers. To avoid any risk Mrs. Ken
nedy went to New York in person and re
covered her locket.—Philadelphia Record.
A Child Enjoys
The pleasant flavor, .gentle action, and
soothing effect of Syrup of Figs, when in
need of a laxative, and if the father or
mother be costive or bilious, the most
gratifying results follow its use; so that it
is the beat fiunily remedy known and
every family should have a bottle.
T.B. Bice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows: “I
have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative for
eight years, and have never known of a
single Instance where it failed to give per
fect satisfaction. Parties who once use it
always make permanent customers. We
sell more of this article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic
drops combined.” For teething children

Tw» Noted Women on a XooomotHm.
On the recent homeward journey from
the east Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs and her
eietor, Miss Virginia Fair, rode a part of
the way in the cab of a locomotive.
At Promontory, 58 miles wwt of Odgen,
the train on which the heiresses were had
to wait over for some time. Mrs. Oolrichs
and Miss Fair availed themselves of tb<
delay by taking a little walk on the track.
From the window of his cab Engineer
Shell recognized them and said to his fire
man, “Why, there an Senator Fair’s
daughters.”
Hla remark was audible to the two la
dles, and, going closer to the cab, Mrs.
Oelrichs said, “You seem to have known
my father.”
“Yes, madam,” replied the engineer, “X
knew your father when he was running
the Comstock mine.” Question and an
swer soon broadened to a regular conver
sation between the heiress and the en
gineer. The time for the train to start
came around. Then Melvin Shell, in an
Intensity of friendship, blurted out: “La
dies, I beg your jArdon, but aren’t you
tired of riding in that stuffy Pullman track <
there? Wouldn’t you like to ride awhile
in the cab, where you’U get some fresh
air?"
The sisters stared a(i thl engineer for »
moment, too startled to speak. Then the
humor of the situation caught them, and,
exchanging glanoes, they burst into •
hearty laugh.
“Shall we?” inquired Mrs. Oelrichs of
Miss Fair. A nod from Miss Fair settled
the question, and in a second <« two En
gineer Shell was assisting them into Ids
cramped and grimy quarters.
At Welles, where the train stopped
again, the heiresses, flushed, sooty and
with their dainty finery in sad disarray,
parted company with their father’s friend,
the hospitable engineer. —FranoisM

A train load of—we like to have said soldiers, but we mean Clothing
for the soldiers who are going to remain at home. Our buyer made some
war purchases last week, aua judging from the amount of the .purchases he

clothing during war time. Well, we just gave them a check to show who
got the goods; .now, you come and give us your name and get all the Cloth
