4 , t ! iene ONLY KNEW HER COOK. Withering Way in Which One House- holder “Got Even.” This story couldnt’ be truer if I gave the names of the women, ‘so I may as well conceal them. Mrs. B. (let us call her) went to Mrs. Z.’s house when she was absent and tried to hire her cook away from her. In due time Mrs. Z. heard of it. The next time they met at a_ social gathering Mrs. Z. cut Mrs. B. dead. At dinner a stupid man, who sat between these two women and no- ticed that they did not speak to each other, undertook to introduce them. “Mrs. Z.,” said he, “aren’t you ac- quainted with Mrs. B?” “N-n-no,” Mrs. Z. answered in a chilly tone loud enough for Mrs, B. and everybody else to hear. “I believe she has a calling acquaintance with my cook, however.”—Brooklyn Eagle. Cruel. “When he proposed to me I was de- lighted, of course,” confessed Miss An Teek, “but I tried not to let my face show him what my answer would be.” “And did you succeed?” asked Miss Pepprey. 5 “No; he found his answer there.” “Ah! Read between the lines, Isup- pose.”—Philadelphia Press. Hopeless Case. “If you weren’t so lazy you wouldn't be so pessimistic. “Oh, nonsense!” “Why don’t you make hay while the sun shines, and—” “Huh, if I tried to do that it'd just be my luck to get sunstruck.”—Phila- delphia Ledger. Texas Finds a Remedy. Fate, Tex., Sept. 21st.—Texas shas seldom, if ever, had such a profound sensation as that caused by the intro- duction recently of a new remedy for Kidney diseases. This remedy has already been tried in thousands of cases, and in almost every case the results have been wonderful. Henry Vaughn, of Rural No. 3, Fate, says of it: “T suffered with Kidney Trouble for over 18 months. I was very bad and could get nothing to help me till 1 heard of the new remedy, Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills. I began to use these pills, and very soon found myself improving. I kept on, and now I can say I am absolutely cured and free from any symptom of my old trouble. “Iam very glad I heard of this wonderful remedy and I would strongly advise anyone suffering with Kidney trouble to try it, for I know it will cure.” Route, PLAYED A BOLD GAME. Nerve of a Railroad Superintendent Fighting a Flood. Did you ever see a man in a poker game bet every cent he had on three aces? Well, that is what W. S. Carson, superintendent of the Missouri Pacific terminals at Kansas City did. But the stakes were bigger, probably, than were ever played in a poker game. He bet seven locomotives and his job that the Missouri Pacific bridge wouldn’t go out, and this in the face of the fact that seventeen bridges across the Kaw had already been washed away. And he won. Now, the Missouri Pacifie has the only bridge across the Kaw at that place, When Mr. Carson saw that his company’s bridge was likely to go the way the others went he took a desper- ate chance. He decided to weight the bridge down with mogul locomotives. Seven of them, representing a value of $125,000 were run out on the trem- bling strueture. He knew, as did ev- erybody else, that if the bridge went the engines would go with it, but he took the chance and took it alone, for the city was cut off from communica- tion with the other heads of depart- ments and there was no one to con: sult with. Had the bridge and engines gone his job would have gone, and with it a large share of his reputation as a man of sound judgment. But the plan was a winner, and now his stock is away above par.—Louisville Herald. CUBS’ FOOD. They Thrive on Grape-Nuts. Healthy babies don’t ery, and the well nourished baby that is fed on Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish ‘the perfect food Grape-Nuts and get well. “My little baby was given up by three doctors, who said that the con- densed milk on which I had fed it had ruined the child’s stomach. One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try Grape- Nuts, so I got and prepared it as foliows: I soaked 1% tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strain- ed Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoon- fuls of rich milk, pvt in a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed it and gave it to baby every two hours, “In this simple, easy way I saved baby’s life and have built her up to a stromg, healthy child, rosy and laugh- ing. The food must certainly be per- fect to have such a wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think it is the, best food in the world to raise delicate babies on, and is also a delicious, healthful food for grown- ups as we have discovered in our fam- ily.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong, healthy man or woman. Grape-Nuts food stands for the true theory of health. j.ook in each package for a copy of the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” NORWAY IS SAFE. Ladies Take Pedestrian Tours in All Parts of the Country. ~ “{ doubt if in any country in the world a woman could travel with greater safety and meet with more courtesy, honesty and hospitality, than in Norway,” declared a woman who has traveled much and who claims as her birthplace the land of the mid- night sun, to a writer for the Brooklyn Eagle. “This will account for the fact, so surprising to strangers, of the long pedestrian tours undertaken by parties of from two to forty young women during the summer months. this is a customary proceeding, even among the wealthiest families. I count some of these tours among the happiest memories of my yout. “On one occasion I made a three weeks’ trip afoot in the mountains in company with a friend, a girl of nine- teen. It was 2 o’clock in the morning before we reached our first stopping place, but we felt no fear, and there was not the slightest danger. Anoth- er night, warm and _ glorious with moonlight, we emerged from a noble forest after midnight and came upon a small house perched on the moun- tain side. After continuous knocking we succeeded in arousing the inmates. They received us kindly, but apolo- gized for the poor room they had to offer us, explaining that (as is custom- ary in the country) they had four shoemakers stopping at the house to make all the shoes needed in the household for a year. We were a lit- tle disconcerted to find that we must pass through the room where the shoemakers were sleeping in order to reach the one allotted to us, which was just beyond and wholely guilt- less of anything in the shape of a lock. Nevertheless we slept peace- fully enough, and undisturbed.” THE NEW STORTHING. Political Complexion of Norway’s Leg- islative Body—Conservatives Have a Majority. Norway’s new storthing will have 117 members, an increase of 3. The Conservatives will hold 60 seats, or a clear majority of 3. The socialists have shown a surprising growth in all parts of the country, but have elected but one member, and that one from Finmarken. The Liberals, or Venstre, who have been in power for a generation, gained 2 places in Finmarken, but have lost 23 seats and are thereby reduced to the minority party. It is generally admitted that the Socialists at the next election will be a factor of great importance, Their program is much the same as_ else- where: government control of profit- able industries, universal suffrage for both men and women, old-age pensions for all classes, abolishment of the mili- tary system, a referendum of all im- portant questions, abolishment of the game laws, better public schools, shorter working day enforced by law, | and various other reforms. Christiania, which was the strong- | hold of the Venstre party, deserted it wholly in the recent elections, giving the Conservatives 12,738 votes to the Socialists 6,701 and to the Liberals only 5,406. The lone Socialist in the storthing is Jorgen Berge, an editor at Narvik. He is a Roman Catholic and is the | first person of that faith to sit in the storthing. RUSSIAN HUMANITY. Recent Examples of the Treatment of the Patient Finns. Among the prominent Fnns recently sentto exile are Dean Waldemar Wal- lin, Police Prefect Soderhjelm, Police Prefect Akeson and Lieut. Col, Amin- off. A laborer was recently arrested and confined in jail with one meal a day for the heinous crime of reading a boklet on the struggle for liberty in the Netherlands. The new tariff schedules for Finland prohibit the im- portation of cartridges and rifles. Finland is ruled by the police, and the more domineering and brutal the conduct of the officers the greater their rewards. Thepoli ce do abso- lutely as they wish, and are often drunk. Fire Marshal A. V. Sohlman of Abo has been deprived of his position and placed under arrest for having in his | possession twelve copies of an inter- dicted publication, the Free Word. Crop Failures in Sweden. Minister Odelberg of the Swedish agricultural department is sending out most gloomy crop reports. Not only are the crops almost a total failure in many parts f Norrland on account of the very backward season and the long periods of rain, but even as far south as the Malar valley continued rains have prevented the harvests, so thai hay and rye rot in the fields. Big Contract for Black Granite. The Syenite company, whose quar- rie sare near Ryssby, Sweden, has ob- tained a contract from England for a large quantity of black granite, to be used for monuments to the officers who fell in South Africa. The con- tract is worth 800,000 kroner. Generous Old Lady. An elderly Norwegian lady, Martine Hansen, whose deceased brother had a considerable business in Russia, has donated 340,000 crowns to varous in- stitutions in Christiania. In Far Northland. SWEDEN'S BALLOON. Will Be Used by the Army and the Navy. ; Sweden has added a novel warship to her navy in the form of a vessel for transporting a military balloon for use along the coast in time of war. This vessel has just made its first trial trip at sea. It is about 130 feet jong and resembles a barge or lighter, the greater part being given up to the storage and use of the balloon and its accessories. It is towed by a steamer which con- veys it from point to point wherever it may be desired to make an ascen- sion. It also contains the necessary machinery for producing hydrogen and for maneuvering the balloon. The crew comprises two officers and six- teen men. The balloon itself is to be used for obtaining information along the coast in the defense of the latter, and will prove a valuable adjunct to the usual service of security and information. RUSSIAN TREACHERY. Naval Officers Become Spies in Caris- crona Harbor. Maj. Gen. Centelvall of the Swedish coast artillery accuses the commander and officers of the Russian corvette General-Admiral of acting ws spies at Carlscrona, Sweden’s principal naval station. The corvette put in at Carls- crona ostensibly to repair her machin- ery, but hers ubsequent move:nents were so suspicious that steam launch- es were ordered to watch the vessel. The launch discovered a gig from the corvette in the vicinity of the new battery on Tjurk island. An officer who went aboard found a compass in use and a camera, which was also be- ing used. The gig was escorted to the Russian vessel. Two years ago men from a Russian vessel were detected in taking soundings in Carlscrona harbor. JUBILEES GALORE. Danish Royat Family Is Busy Cele- brating This Year. Denmark’s royal family gathering in November will be of an unusuai ceremonial character, as 1903 is a ju- bilee year in the royal family. _ The king will have reigned forty years on Nov. 15, and it is fifty vears since ne was recognized as heir to the throne. The crown prince, who lately attained his sixtieth year, has been crown prince for fortv years. The king's second son, King George of Greece, celebrates his fortieth year as sov- ereign, and this year Queen Alexandra celebraied her fortieth wedding anni versary. The duchess of Cumberiand, who will be fifty on Sept. 29, keeps her silver wedding ‘n December. The king leeks young anid rides daily. NYSOM IS DEAD. He Was a Capable Railway Official and Valuable Minister. | Hans Nysom, general director for | the Norwegian railways, died a fort- night ago at the age of fifty-eight. He served in the army ten years, in the | Jager corps, the guard and artillery, but resigned his commission in 1876 | to take an important position in the canal department, where he soon at- tracted attention. Nysom was minister of public works in the first Steen ministry in 1891, | and also in the second in 1898, but resigned in 1900, and was made gen- eral director of the railways. He was respected as an able executive and a valuable, progressive minister, and highly popular with all classes for his agreeable personality. SMITHSONIAN MAY GET IT. Valuable Collection of Antiquities in Denmark. Dr. W. Dreyerof Ringstad, Denmark, who owns one of the largest private collections of antiquities in Denmark, has lately been negotiating with Prof. McCurdy of the Smithsonian institu- As the Danish National museum does not consider that it can spare the amount required to purchase the col- lection, it will probably be secured for | the Smithsonian institution. Bergen’s Brilliant Display. Bergen had a gala appearance dur- | ing the last three weeks in August. | The Norwegian naval maneuvers cen- | tered about the harbor. There were also present a Dutch man-of-war, a Swedish covette with a large class of cadettes on board, and an unusually large number of tourist vessels and pleasure yachts. There happened also to be a large Austrian freighter in the harbor and an English vessel, and the street life of Bergen was as picturesque and varied as one could see anywhere. The townspepole en- joyed the treat most thoroughly. Iceland to Help Finns. Iceland’s althing has appropriated 10,000 kroner as a fund for aiding im- migration from Finland. Iceland re- ports a dearth of laborers on account of emigration, and while that northern land is not the most cheerful place in the world, the Finns will find there freedom from Russian oppression. Burglars at Winona entered the home of Max Lossen and broke open a safe, taking $67 in cash and two dia- mond earrings, the total value being | about $200.

The voice that had thrilled thousands was growing weaker, and his son, who had been called to his bedside to Jisten.to his last words, heard them with diffi- culty, “My boy,” the great man said, “I am seeing the last of earth. Looking back- ward over a long and busy and, I may say, useful life, my feelings are feel- ings of satisfaction. I have had more than my share of this world’s prosper- ity, more than my share of its tri- umphs, more than my share of its hap- piness. I have been fortunate in my home life, with a loyal, loving wife and dutiful children, of whom any man might be proud. I have enjoyed the respect, the confidence, and even the love of my fellow citizens. I have been chosen to the highest offices in the gift of my countrymen, and have only just missed the presidency itself. But there is one thing lacking, one thing without which my fame will be incom- plete. With dear old Rip Van Winkle, I have come to realize how soon we are forgotten when we are gone, and as I am not to be permitted to live to secure this one thing now lacking, I must ask your help, my boy. Will you do what I ask?” “I will, fathey,” answered the son, as he bent over the dying man to catch his last words. “What canI do? Tell me quickly. Your will shall be my law.” The answer came in a faint whis- per: “See that some brand of cigars bears my name.”—Lippincott’s Magazine. His Clever Plan. “Five dollars, please,’ said the law- yer to his prospective client. “But I haven’t stated my case yet,” protested the client. “Five dollars first, and then it won’t be so difficult to be:honest with you,” insisted the lawyer. “How is that?” “Well, if you haven’t got any case and I advise you to sue you'll pay me a $50 retainer without a murmur, but if I tell you frankly that you haven’t a ghost of a show you'll kick like a steer on a $5 fee; so if I get that fee first I won’t be quite so _ strongly tempted to run you up against a lot of useless litigation, if that happens to be the kind of a case you have.”—Chi- cago Post. Sympathetic. Young Wife (rather nervously )—Oh, cook, I must really speak to you. Your master is always complaining. One day it is the soup, the second day it is the fish, the third day it is the joint— in fact, it’s always something or oth- er. Cook (with feeling)—Well, mum, I’m truly sorry for you. It must be quite awful to live with a gentleman of that sort—Punch. One Pleasure Gone. “I suppose, Miss Rambo,” said the caller, “that your, father feels much happier now that he has been cured of his rheumatism?” “Well,” explained the young lady, “he feels better when he realizes that he does not have to suffer any more; but he feels pretty bad when he re- members how exactly he used to be able to foretell the weather.”—Judge.

COMMODORE NICHOLSO OF OUR NAVY: Recommends Pe-ru-na—Other Promin- ent Men Commodore Somerville Nicholson, of the United States Navy, in a letter from 1837 R Street, N. W., Washington. D.

The day was when men of prominence hesitated to give their testimenials to pro- prietary medicines for publication, This remains true to-day of most proprietary medicines.
