TAKE NONE WITHOUT. A CLEVER . DODGER.‘~ A Weasel That Was Quicker Than the .J. Shot of a Sportsman’s Trusty Gun. i “Coming to our camp in the cool Oc- tober evening after throwing our lines . for bass at sunset in Little Bear pond,” said the Gotham sportsman to the New York Sun man, “we found that a visit- Or had been there during our absence. We had taken up our quarters in a de- serted shingle camp, a low log struc- ture with a splint roof. A‘ ‘deacon’s seat’ stood before the open fireplace of stone and behind, laid thatchwise on the-ground, were the pine boughs uppn . which we were to sleep. We had left our dunnage there earlier in the day and had hung up on a peg -in the wall two partridges that we had shot. “After we had lighted up the place with a glowing fire we saw that the partridges were gone from the wooden peg on which they had hung and were nowhere to be seen. A long search about the camp revealed them at last on theopposite side crowded half under the bottom log of .the wall as if an at tempt had been made to get them out of the camp that way.. ' “We hung them up again upon the peg and in a few minutes discovered a weasel running about them trying to get them down again. He appeared to be regardless ”of our presence. He would run out to the end of the peg and work awhile to try to push the string that held them over 'the end and then would dart to the ground below and sit upright looking at them, his eyes all the while glowing like emer- alds. At last I picked my gun up, loaded with heavy charges of bird shot. “ ‘It’s no use trying to hit him,’ said Farris, my companion, an old woods- man. ‘He’ll dodge the flash of your gun. The most you can do is to scare him away.’ ; “As the weasel sat upright and mo- tionless on one of the bottom logs of the camp I took' a careful sight and fired with my right barrel at him. The smoke cleared away, but no weasel was to be seen, although the place where he had sat was peppered with fine holes where the shot had all struck within a space as large as the palm of my hand. If the weasel had been hit he would have been found and he had evidently dodged at the flash of the ex- plosion or perhaps the fall of the ham- mer. But the shot had the effect of frightening him away, for we had no more visits from him during our stay.” CHARITY THAT CU RSES. Almsgiving Is Not Charity, It Is the Giv- _ ‘ ing pf Oneself. " There is many a rich man seated 'to- day with easy consolence at a table shining with cut-glass and silver, who would be ready to stretch out a helping hand to those who need it, if they were not “all so far away.” He is living in another world. What he does is to make his annual contributions to our charitable societies, and that is all. Some day, writes Dr. Jane Elizabeth Robbins in the Forum, we will begin to calculate the evil resulting from such contributions. fair. and again is it true of the charity of to-day that “it curses him who gives and him who takes.” On the one hand the poor man, sinking down into the mire of pauper- ism, realizes dimly the bitterness of his degradation, and takes the alms offered him with cursesin his heart; while on the other hand the rich merchant or manufacturer, who is daily disregard- ing the health of little children and delicate girls, quiets his conscience with a large check in the name of charity. And society applauds the generosity of such a man, and his eyes are blinded. “It is so tempting to the rich to think that by giving a check for the support of a social scheme poverty may be abolished, and they be left free to enjoy their wealth. They always hope that something, not themselves, might meet all needs.” One is often asked the question: “What can the rich man do for the re- lief of suffering?” I-believe there is but one answer: Let him give not alms but himself, and the wisdom comes with the giving. I knew a young apprentice in a great machine shop who was stricken down with consumption. His parents were old and feeble, and it was only through the gifts of his employer that his last days were made comfort- able, but more to them all than the gifts was the fact that the employer came himself to the little home in the East side tenement, and spoke friendly words. From every such natural friendship. there grow more and more chances for helpfulness, and for that, truest charity of all charities —-_ the treating of others as if they were of our own kind. Those Congratulatory Letters. ‘ Some one with a taste for figure? has calculated that it would take Prince Bismarck, working eight hours a day with unflinching regularity, about eight months to read all the letters, post cards and telegrams of birthday congratulations that have reached \ um; I ' thenr'all he would have to spend an- other year and. a. half over the job. Fortunately, he is an old. man of .too much common sense to attempt either to read or‘ to answer one-thousandth part of the messages that have been sent him. The very great majority of the senders have the Satisfaction of re- flecting that their good wishes will serve to light a fire at Friedrichsruh any time. during the next twelve months, but that is about all. If. they think, that the prince will ever even see their letters or telegrams they are making a great mistake. Thus does the fussiness of sentimental busyb'odies succeed only in defeating its own ob- ject. , Bolivian Indian Dialects. I. The consul in Bolivia mentions as a curious fact that here and there in Bolivia one meets with small communi- ties of Indians talking a different tongue to the surrounding districts. This results from the practice exercised under the rule of the Incas, whose cus- tom it was to transfer an entire com- munity' to some distant part of the country when any seditious movements took place in a particular town or dis- trict. . SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. THE total cordage required for a first- rate man-of—war weighs about eighty tons, and exceeds $15,000 in value. CAPT. JOHN L. CLEMM, U. S. A., is now a. major. He is the youngest vet- eran of the federal , army, and is forty- three years of age. He was famed as “the drummer boy of Chickamauga.” THE Argentine government will shortly order the construction of six new torpedo boats, and likewise projects ordering two new cruisers. The total cost of these vessels is esti- mated at $5,000,000. ' ‘ | OUT of 253,177 recruits for the Ger- man army last year only 617, about 24 in 10,000,were unable to read and write; out of 343,651 Frenchmen in the same period, 22,095, that is 643 in 10,000, were illiterate. . --—':H.f¢;.~t-=- ...... HON. Sm CHARLES GILEEB'I‘ JOHN BRYDONE ELLIOT, K. C ‘B., admiral of the fleet, has just died in London.

Black ties have large pearl buttons and are made with military heels. Ties of tan leather in all the different shades are much the vogue. — SUEDE gloves are no longer con- sidered the proper thing. Glace kid is the fashion. All the tan and mode shades are in favor, and wide em- broidery is used on the back. The but- tons match the glove in color and are encased in narrow black rims. , LACE coats are so old that this year they appear as a novelty. They are made of lace insertion and Dresden ribbons and are worn with plain or fancy silk skirts. The most effective are of black lace combined with' del- icately tinted ribbons. TINY frills of yellow Valenciennes lace are conspicuous as a trimming. They form a finish to the popular box plait, and are used profusely on the loose fronts of chiffon. They ripple over the new ribbon collars and are fashioned into the most charming cuffs. , THE latest cape is made of black os- trich feathers. Small tips are used and the cape has a Medici collar and a cluster of very small tips over each shoulder. Capes of accordion plaited silk mull, combined with lace insertion, are among the summer novelties. 3} TO SERVE FRUIT. GRAPES are placed on a large fruit dish, with green leaves around edge. BANANAS are slightly opened at one end and served On individual fruit plates. ORANGES are cut in half and eaten with an orange spoon. The peel serves as. a cup. ‘ BERBIES are usually put in a large berry bowl and served in individual dishes at table. ’PINEAPPLES are peeled, cut in very thin slices, the core cut out, and served with sugar. _ OFTEN several kinds of fruit are placed in one large fruit dish on the table, and each person provided with an individual fruit plate. ORANGES eaten in the natural state, or with the pulp prepared and simply sprinkled with sugar, are so delicious and healthful that it seems almost un- necessary to suggest other ways in which they mav be utilized. 1 To Remove That Tired Feeling, Take YER’S , THE ONLY WORLD’S FAIR Sarsapari Ila Over Half a Century Old.

May 19. —‘ Miss Nellie Trautman, daughter of Balthauser Traut man, living at 15% Division street, Is at death’s door from an attackof hiccoughs, from which she has been a fearful sufferer for the past three weeks. She Is a pretty young girl of 16. Immediately after breakfast on Satur- day. three weeks ago, she wag attacked with hiccoughs. Nothing was thought of the afl‘liction for several days, when they became so violent that the family physi- cian, Dr. W. A. M. Mack. was called. The young girl was taken to her, bed, where she has lain since. every effort to cure her being of no avail. all the known and a number of new remedies having been ad- ministered. . Today she was .able to sit up a while, but the hlccoughs were renewed with greater violence. Dr. Maevlag was called and several new remedies given, The girl has become greatly emaciated, and there appears to be no relief at hand. She was forced to take to her bed again, which It is thought she will not leave. In the event of no improvement other physicians will be called In, and all efforts known to science will be made to save her life. All the physicians In the city are in- terested in the case. TELLBll r03 PQESNDENT. A Denver Newspaper Makes a Rather Startling Suggestion. DENVER, May 19.—The Rocky Moum 'tain News In a leading editorial today says: “The question of Teller as the Demo- cratic candidate for president should at' once interest the Democrats of the moun- tain states. Might it not be worth the effort for Colorado Democrats to organize with the Democracy of its neighboring states to present Teller (should he bear himself at St. Louis, as there Is rl hi; to expect he will) to the southern silver emo~ .crats of the Chicago convention and say to them, If you'wIll accept~ him, he will have the support of all the mountain region, and we will unlte‘with you In making him the leader of the m’dvement for the restor- ation to a bunkrupted and well nigh hope- less people of the money of the constitution, the lifeblood of commerce, and the wand by the touch of which prosperity will rise and take ' the country once again in its healthful, invigorating embrace?” Gibson Not a Oandidate.

Tabor Mortgag'es Foreclosed. DENVER, May 19.—That the Tabor Opera House and the'Tabor block will soon be sold at public auction seems certain, the state supreme court having affirmed the action of Arupahoe county district court, giving the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance authority to foreclose its first mortgage of $500,000. Mrs. Laura D. Smith, who holds a second 1r ‘rtgage for $400, 000, has also obtained permission to foreclose. Drowned For His Bet.

Nature intended that . every woman should look forward to the com- ing of her baby _w1th Joy and hope, unclouded by anxiety. Almost pain- less parturition IS quite the usual thing among uncivilized people. Even in our own country it occasionally happens with women . in robust health and good condi- tion. It ought to be the rule instead of the excep- tion ; and it is a fact that a very large proportion of the usual pain and suf- ' ' ' fering may be avoided by looking after the motherfs general health, and specially strengthenmgthe part1cular organs concerned in parturition. Manymothers have been brought through the trying time almost pamlesslyby the aid of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. _ It prepares the system for delivery by_ 1_m- parting the organic strength and elast1c1ty which the mother specially needs ; shortens thetime of labor and of confinement ; , "r L , .,',. w" ment for the child and fortifies the entire constitution against the after period of de~ . ression and weakness. It‘s use. should gegin in the early months ofgcstaticn-thc earlier the better. Mrs. FRED Hd‘NT, of Glenm'lle, Schenectady Ca, 1V. Y., says: “ I read about Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription being so good for a woman with child, so I got two bottles last September, and December 13th, I had a twelve-pound baby girl. When I was confined I was not sick in any way. I did not sufier an pain, and when the chi d was born I walked Into another room and went to bed. I never had an after—pain or any other pain. This is the eighth child and the lat est of them all. I suffered eve hing that esh could sufi‘er with the other babies. I always had a doctor and then he could not help me very much, but this time my mother and my husband «were alone with me. My baby was only seven days old when I got up and dressed and left my room and stayed up all day." ‘ TURKISH Burns FOR Malaria, Rheumatism, Heuralagia, AT Dr. Shepard’s Sanitarium.
