The infant class teacher talked to the children about the death ot Stephen. The next day Mrs. Bryan went out calling, accompanied by her little daughter. After several calls had been made the child asked: “Mama, where are you going next? ” “To see Mrs. Steven,” was the reply. “Oh! I am so glad you are going to see poor Mrs. Steven,” the child said in a sympathetic tone. “Why do you say poor Mrs. Ste ven?” the mother inquired. “Why, mamma, don't you know they have stoned Mr. Steven to death?” ] |fpS Excursion tickets at reduced rates between local points are on snlo after It noon Saturdays, and until 6 p. in.

Wanted to be a Thermometer. A few days ago, the Topeka cor respondent of the Kansas City Jour nal, a resolution was adopted by the House instructing the seargeant at arms to get four thermometers, so as to keep the room at the proper temp erature. A Fort Scott negro who had come up to get a job, but had failed to land, was in the gallery at the time. No sooner had the vote been declared than he rushed down stairs, shoved the doorkeepers aside, and hurriedly made for the seat of Representative Campbell of Bourbon. “Now is you'se time, Mr. Camp bell; now is you’se time! Jest send in my name and you can land me,” he shouted in a tone that interrupted the proceedings of the House. “Send in your name for what?” asked Campbell in embarrassment. “W'y dey jes resoluted to put in four t'ernometers, an’ I'se can hold down one of dem jobs.” " cures WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS.

J Mfc-g ■ an miT imti u am ▼ •nn wviwvi Many women are languid, peevish, sallow, no appetite, full of aches and pains, and generally out of sorts. This condition prevails because the blood has become impure. No one is better able to speak of this fact than Miss Hazel Snider, a charming young woman of Arlington, Ind. To-day she has rosy cheeks, sparkling eves aua a plump form, which prove that she is in good health. A year ago Miss Snider did not look so. She was very thin, her cheeks were pale, her eyes sunken and dull. She was troubled with nervousness and general debility. “I had been sick some during my life,” she said, ‘‘but not any more than the average girl, and was considered strong and healthy. I had prepared to teach school, but became so run down that I did not feel like teaching, and gave it up. I disliked to do this, but my mother and physician urged it. I began to grow pale, weak, lost several pounds of flesh, was stupid, and had no ambition. My appetite failed. My blood was in a bad condition, having become thin and watery. After several months’ treatment from the family physician we saw he could do me no good. I was discouraged and did not know what to do. ‘‘One day I read an item in a paper of the wonderful curative qualities of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Shortly afterwards a neighbor came in and told me about her experience, and how they cured her. I finally tried the medicine, and when nearly through with the second box noticed a change for the better. After Iliad taken eight boxes I was cured, and have had no occasion to take any kind of medicine since. I feel that I owe much to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, probably my life, and I advise any one suffering with troubles similar to mine, to take these pills.” Miss Hazee Snider. Col. Roosevelt’s Specs. Col. Roosevelt is very near sight ed. At home he has been in the hab it of wearing nose glasses with a black silk cord attached. When he went to Cuba, however, (according to a current newspaper story), he substi tuted very large, round spectacles with steel hooks for the ears, and had a dozen pairs mounted, These he planted around his person and equip ment, trying to distribute them so no one accident could include them all. One pair was sewed to his blouse, anot’cer in his belt, another in his hat, two in his saddle bags, and so on. After the fight at Guasimas his horse was barked by a bullet while held by an orderly, and plunged frantically against a tree. Col. Roosvelt came rushing up all anxiety, and began pry ing under the saddle flap. “They haven’t hurt the nag sir,” said the or derly. “I know,” replied the colonel, with tears in his eyes, “but blast ’em, they've smashed me specs!” W: O a WILLIAMS' .-A^ fe II jjiim g 4^9 [I 3 BRONCHITIS Bronchitis generally begins with a common cold; if not cured it becomes dangerous and thousands die from bronchitis annually.
