with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy It—but you don't
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’

both of these.

A Stranger Whose Title Produced Sur
prise In Tennessee.
A dignified looking stranger entered
the ticket office of the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad yes
terday, *nd stated that ho wished to
purchase tickets tor himself and family
to Texas, and also wanted to se
cure rates for the transportation of a
carload of household furniture. CoL
Harry Wilson waited on the gentleman,
and ascertained that his name was Mar
tin. He negotiated a trade with him
for the tickets, and referred him to the
freight office on Monroe street for infor
mation about freight rates.
As the stranger displayed a goodly
role of boodle it was incumbent on Col.
Wilson to treat him with the considera
tion due his importance, and so he told
Billy to take the colonel over and intro
duce him to Mr. Bartley, and he took
care to lay the accent on the colonel.
Billy got the stranger safely over to
the freight office, and in his politest
manner presented him to Will Bartley
as follows: “Mr. Bartley, allow me to
introduce to you Col. Martin.”
The stranger drew himself up haught
ily, and striking an attitude, with his
rigiit hand over his left breast pocket,
said: “I am no colonel, young man: I
am something higher than that.”
“Excuse me; I meant to say briga
dier,” apologized Billy.
“I have a higher title tharv that,” said
the great man.
Billy was equal to the occasion, and
same again with “I really meant to say
uajor general, you know.”
He was knocked out again, however,
jy the supposed, officer remarking witii
leightened dignity, which, however,
vas softened by a quiet, amused smile:
‘You have not got up high enough yet.”
“You must be the commander-in-chief
of the army,” suggested Billy in a doubt
ful sort of tone, but the‘stranger par
alyzed him by the announcement that
lie held a still higher title.
Billy was stumped. He thought the dis
tinguished visitor was no other than the
president travelling in cog., but he dis
missed that idea, and then his curiosity
got the better of his reverence, and he
blurted out! “Well, who are you, any
way?”
Tiie stranger softly replied: “I am a
minister of the gospel, sir,” and Billy
fainted dead away, while Will Bartley
made a half rate for the divine on ac-

Debt of Honor. (
England, which is rich in gentlemen,
furnished, in tho beginning of the pres
ent century, a good model of that genius
which the world loves in Charles James
Fox, who added to his great abilities the
most social disposition and real love of
men. A characteristic anecdote is re
lated of the celebrated orator and states
man:
A tradesman who had long dunned
Mr. Fox for a note of three hundred
guineas found him one day counting
gold, and demanded paymentof his long
duo note.
“I cannot pay you now," said Ftix. “I
owe this money to Sheridan pit Is a debt
of honor. If an accident should happen
to mo he has nothing to show to main
tain his claim.”
"Then,” said tho creditor, “I change
my debt into* debt of honor,” and tore
the noto in pieces.
Fox thanked the man for his confi-
donee, and paid him, saying: "His debt
was of older standing, and Sheridan
must wait." . .
Fox was the lover of liberty, friend of
the Hindoo, friend of tho African slave;
he possessed a great personal popularity,
and Napoleon said of him, on the occa
sion af his visit to Paris (p 1805: "Mr.
Fox will always hold tho first place in on
assembly at the Tuileries.”— Youth's
Companion.

A certain Chicago coal man enjoys
nothing more than he does a romp with
his two pretty boys. After supper ev
ery night he has great fun with them.
One ,evening last week his wife was
taken sick, and he cut short the usual
romp, much to the disappointment of
the boys, who hod been looking forward
all day to his homecoming. He told
them it was time for them to go to bed,
and, like obedient boys, they walked off
without a word of remonstrance. Silent
ly they disrobed and prepared to retire.
The larger boy said his prayer and found
bis way between tho sheets. Then the
little fellow knelt down by the bedside,
uttered his prayer and added: “Please,
God, make papa funny somo more.” And
the father, who had been waiting just
outside the door to see that they retired
all right, overheard tho petition and
went in and gave bis two boys another
grciR romp. Tho little fellow then re
tired in tho firm belief that his prayer
hud been answered.—Chicago Herald.

“Let mo soe, boy, if you’re telling the

guess I don’t want the paper.”
“Ah, what's de matter wid you,” an

No,” said a well-known statesman,
“I shall never believe that woman has
tho proper judgment and sense to cast a
ballot, or Interfere in politics while she
is so weak-minded as to passively suf
fer, year after year, from diseases pecu
liar to females, when every newspaper
she picks up tells of the merits of Dr.
Pierce.s Favorite Proscription. Not to
tako advantage of this remedy is cer
tainly an indication of mental weak
ness!”
There is a wholesome kernel of truth
inside the rough shell of this ungallant
speech. Tho “Favorite Prescription” is
invaluable in all uterine troubles, in-
llammations, ulcerations, displacements,
nervous disorders, prostration, exhaus
tion, or hysteria. Fof run-down, worn-
out women, no more strengthening tonic
or nervine is known.

A Disfigured Countenance.
Many people who would scarcely no
tice an armless or legless man wifi in
stantly detect and romark on any blem
ish of tho human face, and dive into all
sorts of speculations as to its cause and
attendant circumstances. If you doubt
this assertion become possessed of n dis
colored optic and note how much atten
tion it will invite. A black eye is gen
orally avoidable, but blotches, pimples,
and other scrofulous and eruptive marks
steal upon us without warning, and are
frequently tho first intimation of the
fact that our blood is going wrong. A
prompt and systematic use of P. P. P,

will purify the blood, clcanso the skin
and give back to the foco natures famil
iar, ruddy signs of health. Get it of
