Tho hermit's costume consists of
only two~articles, a tattered pair of
trousers and a dirty red shirt, Tho
way in which they are kept together
and prevented from dropping oil' from
his gaunt frame by sundry pieces of
string, strands of rope, and bits of
yarn, instead of batons, is something
to marvel at.
But ho whs not always thus, He
has seen better days. It is tho same

WHY SHE MARRIED JACK,
How a Maldan’t two Suitor* War* Pi t to*
Te*t.
“Oh, you dear thing!"' cried the girl
In the empire jacket, as she stepped
. aboard the cars, " to think that I’ve
only just heard of your marriage, I
was away at tho time, you know, and
I just can't forgive you for not lotting
me know all about it.”
“Well, you see, it was very sudden,"
said tho young woman In the fur col¬
larette, according to a writer In the
Chicago Times-Herald. “I only knew
it myself forty-eight hours before it
happened. Yon see, l had decided to
be married in the spring, anyhow, but
1 liked Jack and Edgar equally well,
and I just couldn’t decide which—’’
"Yes,” said the girl in the empire
jacket,• breathlessly, "and how did you
decide?”’
“I put them both to a test,” said the
young woman in the fur collarette,
"and Jack stood It."
“You didn't make them fight a duel,
did you?”
"Mercy, no. That is away behind the
times, 1 took each one of them for a
walk and stopped before a milliner's
window to—"
"You clever, original thing!”
“Yes—to admire the lints. I said to
Edgar, ‘I'm trying to decide wTnClf one
of these suits me best. I've tried them
all on and I can't decide. Give me your
opinion.”
"Yes, yes, don’t slop; I'm dying to
hear—”
"He pointed to one V ‘bring a ticket
which said ‘Marked (.own to $1.10,'
and said: 'That one, by all means; It
would just suit the sliupo of your
head!’"
“Oh, I see; a husband like that would
tell yon that you looked better in a
calico frock than—"
“A silk? Exactly. I rejected him
that duv. The following afternoon
Jack and I went for a walk.”
“And stopped before the same win¬
dow?”
"M’hm. Then jRCk displayed his
real nobility. Ho said; ‘If I had any¬
thing to say to it. I'd select that one.'
it was placarded 'The very lataat, $22.’
I knew I'd never find such a noble
creature again, bo 1 married him two
du.vs later.
"And you were right, too. Of course,
the first thing he- did after you were
married was to buy you that hat! How
awfully- romantic! Of course, you
haven't worn it out in two months—
you must let me see it when I come to
call to-morrow !"
A queyr look flashed over the bride's
face, an' she gaeje “Why, no, he
didn't. 1—iid-vo. thepcht Jtt that.
Conductor, stop the car!” 1
“Why, where are you going?” naked
the girl in the empire jacket,
"To Jack's oflico," said I he bride,
firmly. “I—we have an errand to do
before I go home!”

regularly, then write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., giving all tho symp¬
