For Three Years He Suffered—Could

Hardly Breathe at Night—40m; Nostril
Closed for Ten Years.

Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar-
velous. Instead of seeking his couch,

lad for the night’s coming, he went to
it with terror, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

LOVE IN A MINOR KEY

____——-

The ifihabitants of Harplestowe had.

ceased to discuss HunnahFlctcher's
Questionable position toward her
ledger, and any interest attached to
her unconventional attitude had qui-
etly fizzled out along with her meagre
claims to beauty. When the world
had gone well with Hannah, and she
had possessed the irritable devotion of
an invalid mother and the undivided
love of a selfish father, she had worn
modestly the good looks which belong
to a middle class young woman who
enjoys excellent health and a whole-
some temperament. Now the light in
her abundant hair and her bright color
had died for want of vital sustenance,
and her rather «prominent features had
bleakened with the unresting struggle
for existence. A Stranger would not
trouble to question if her unsympa-
thetic manner was the result or the
cause of an unsatisfied existence.
Hannah Fletcher had spent the best
years of her youth subduing the pas-
sions and emotions which make a
beautiful woman irresistible, but she
had not studied her own ugliness and
mastered it, as some women do. A
plain woman’s battle in life is defy-
ing her own ugliness. ‘
Hannah’s ledger was, it is true, an
“elderly party,”
work described him, “always messing
about with them chemistry fizzicks;
’e’s wonderful clever, but it don’t
bring in no money, and if it wasn’t
that Miss Hannah was a bit sweet on
him Sll’d ’ave cleared ’im out along
with his rubbishing smell long ago.”
Hannah was a “bit sweet” on the “el-
derly party.” then her mother and
father had, died, her lodger had not
given a thought to the fact that, for
the girl’s reputation in the village, it
would be advisable for him to leave
his comfortable quarters. Hannah
had grown necessary to him in his
work, and he had learned to depend on
her as a man‘ of powerful intellect
grows to depend on a. practical we:
man with an intelligent brain, who is
his daily and hourly companion. Habit
is stronger in men than in women.
Five or six years had passed since her
parents’ death, bringing little or no
change into Hannah’s life. She
slaved and toiled and pinched for the
“elderly party," who was too self-ecu.
tred to guess at the true extent of her
poverty. He was casual about his

payments, and she would never remind '

him. To brighten up her room and
bring a little pleasure into her day, he
would now and then go out and bring
her home an extravagantly beautiful
bunch of flowers, or a pair of palms,
and present them to her with a touch-
ing enthusiasm for his own generosity
and thoughtfulness. Her practical
mind would fly with a woman’s quick-
ness of thought to the four months"
rent which was still unpaid; but only
a feeling of tenderness for his ecccn~
tricities would come over her, and she
hugged to her heart the thought that
she could help him in his work by
waiting for the over-due rent.

He was poor, and his income would
have barely covered the" modest ne-
cessities of his simple life if he had
devoted it to them, but: “he spends al
his money on them messes and invent-
ing things as aren’t no use to no one,"
as Arabella remark-ed when be over-
looked her tip one Christmas day: “I
ain’t got no use for the like of his
sort.” Clothes he never bought, and
Hannah, with a- beautiful regard for
the feeling of the man she loved,
stitched and mended and patched, and
bit by bit replaced his worn and shab-
by wardrobe. She. was careful never
to put into his room'any new garment
she hadm-ade until the ruthless lami-
dress had robbed it of its newness.
Then she would substitute it for one
which was beyond even her clcvci
needlecraft to mend, and the “elderly

party” would put on a new shirt or'

wear the new socks without the slight-
est suspicion that the familiar patches
and dams were missing. He acted as
intellectual food and nourishment to
her starved brain, and she becaum the
practical part of his unevenly balanced
character, which nature had left war. t9
ing.

One day the peace of Hannah‘s life
was broken by the coming of a cousin.
an orphan like herself, who had writ
ten and asked Hannah to give her a
home while she looked for work. Han-
nah wrote and welcomed her with bit
ter misgivings at heart. She had it
toil night and day to make money to
pay for food enough for herself and
her lodger. , ,

Madeline came, and like a hot wind
passing over a sensitive plant she with
ered up Hannah’s courage. She was
young, and the beauty Of her animal
health was Startling. She stood ll:
Hannah’s humble parlor in the noon-
day sunlight, straight as a young
palm tree, and beautiful in symmetry
a pulsing, tingling piece of flesh and
blood, colored like a. pale pink peony.

lVeeks passed into months, and Mad».

house. Hannah could not turn. her

out, and , she never suggested going. ,

and never made any sericius attempt
to get work. Her orphan and penni-
less condition served her as a useful
means of appealing to the sympathy
of the “elderly party}? As time went
on, Hannah saw less and less of her
lodger, her cousin appropriated as her
charge his study and laboratory, and
it was bitterness and gall to Hannah
tossee her administer to him all the
little attentions which she hadbeeu
wont to perform. I
Han-nah, with her heart smartin'g at
the bitter injustice of things, could not
tell her that she was day by day rob~
bing lier'of all that made life bearable.
And as, when a woman is particular-

ly busy, at man generally thinks she is .

“fussing,”- and choosing to do some-
thing totally unnecessary, the “elderly
party” came to look upon it as quite
natural fhat Madaline should be his
hourly companion, and that she should
sit in an easy chair while Hannah, hot
and weary in mind and body, should
toil and strive for them both. ‘

After Ma-dalinev had been with tlicm'

three months Hannah’s ledger came
into a fortune. It was not a large one,
but it would enable him to live in case
and comfort for the rest of his life.
When Hannah heard the good news,
what she dreadcd’most did not happen.
He did not su-gglst moving into more
luxurious lodgings; he seemed to con-
sider himself a fixture in the wains-
coted room with its cottage window
and old oak floor; but he bought more
pretty plants and fresh hothouse fiow-
ers, which Madeline now accepted
With a blush and prettiness that sent
his blood coursing through his veins.

One morning, when Hannah was
ironing, with the table piled high in
well bleached linen, the “elderly party”
came into the kitchen with Madaline.
He walked straight up to where Han-
nah stood, with her hot face bent over
the steaming shirt, and drew Madeline
forward. ‘

“Hannah, your cousin has promised
to marry me. She is young and bean-
tiful, and I am only a plain scholar,
but I will do my best to make her a
good husband.”

As if it had been thrust through her
body with the point of a bayonet, each

”word went to Hannah’s heart. It

ceased beating. lli'adaline, of course,
knew why her cousin had so suddenly
fainted, and the poor little bit of tri-
uniph made her heart beat quicker,
but when she looked up at her lover
his face was pale with fear. She saw
a look of agony in his eyes as he
turned them to her for help, which told
her that she did not possess the heart
of the scholar so completely as she
thought, and the devil in her was
roused.

“Oh, you need not be so alarmed;
she has fainted through sheer jeal—
ousy.” _

For one moment he stood transfixed;
all that he had been blind to for years
was made plain to him now, and in
that moment he recognized the heart-
lessness of the woman he had proposed
to only ten minutes ago.

“Are you a woman to tell a woman’s
secret and make light of 1it?”

' Madaline was frightened at the look
:of scorn and contempt in his eyes,

which had always looked at her so.

gently. She stood at bay, and watched
his tremblinghands sprinkling Han-
nah’s face with the cold water she had
used for sprinkling the linen. It was
kept in a small~vruite bowl on the
ironing table.

i “I’ve not said anything that the
'whole vilage does not know, Arabella
included, that Han-nah Fletcher has
been waiting to marry her ledger for
the last ten years.”

. “Then, by God, I’ll marry her now.
I love her, I tell you.” He chafed the
pale cheeks. and rubbed the thin
hands. “I’ve always loved her. Oh,
my God, Oh. my God, What a selfish
fool I have beeni”

“You loved me but ten minutes ago.
For a simple scholar you are wonder-
fully quick in love.” ‘

“Ten minutes ago I did not know

that it was Hannah I loved as a man
ought to love the woman he'marries.
Your beauty deceived me into believ-
ing that I loved you. I had not given
thought to love until you came. I ask
your forgiveness."
_ Tears, which were always ready,
came into her blue eyes at the harsh
words he had spoken, but she knew
that they were true. She had no love
for the grave and elderly scholar; he
was to be her refuge from work, and
she loved case. She stood for a m0~
ment or two and watched returning
consciousness quiver over Hannah‘s
pale face, and then she turned to go.

“After all, Hannah is growing old.
and she has been good to me. I will
not rob her of her elderly lover."

A lover was waiting, for Madaline
half a mile out of the village. He was
a provision dealer, and Madallne would
have preferred being the wife of a
schema—The Queen. '

MR. BLAINE"S PROPHETIC WORDS.

He Foretoll in a. Measure His Political
Future.

I first made the acquaintance of Mr.

Blaine during the Congress session of

 

 

1865360). He,was then beginning his

second term in the House. At that
than I owned and edited a country
newspaper in General Garfield’s dis-
trict. One day in the fall of 1865
Garfield wrote me to come . up to,
his hilltop home in the little cottage
town of Hiram. He told me that he
thought it would be a good tliing for a
young newspaper man to study Na-
tional politics in Washiington and get
acquainted with National men, and
that he would undertake to get me a
clerkship in the House of Representa-
tives. In due time he spoke to his old
friend, General Robert C. Schenck,
who was chairman of the Committe on
Military Affairs, and the result was I
was given the clerkship of that com-
mittee. ‘

~ Colfax was Speaker of the House,
and for some reason or other he
seemed to have little liking for the am-
bitious young member fro-m the Au-
gusta district of Maine, for he appoint-
ed Blaine to a position near the foot
of that committee. Now, Blaine had
not served in the Army and had no
knowledge of military legislation and
no taste for that kind of_ work. He
used to be a country newspaper editor
himself, and he appeared to take a fan—
cy to the young clerk from Ohio. He
would often drop into the committee-
room and, standing before the wood
fire would talk freely to me about his
newspaper and political career and his
plans and hopes for the future.

I remember that he said one day: “I

do not like this Military Comittee busi-
ness and ought not to be here. Nex
Congress I am going to be on the Com-
,mittee on Appropriations or Ways and
‘Means. Financial questions will soon
be the dominant ones in Congress. Two
years later I expect to be chairman of
my committee. Then I think I shall
be Speaker of the House and after a
while I hope to go to the Senate.”

Everything came about exactly as he
planned. He had wonderful prescience
concerning his own future, as well as
in relation to political events. When
he was a candidate for the Presidential
nomination in V1880 he said to me: "My
career has thus far closely paralleled
that of Henry Clay. He was Speaker
of the House and then Senator. His
party refused to nominate him as long
as it had any Chance of electing a Pres
ident. When it had no longer any
chance it gave him the nomination he
had so long sought. I believe that it
is going to be my fate.”——Chicago
Times-Herald.

 

A Remarkable Man-or Story.

Luigi Erba, a remarkable Italian
from Perugia, about 40 years of age,
started out some time ago to pick up
wives of .all races. With them he re-
tired to Polynesia, and word comes from
his retreat that he is now the happy fa-
ther of 370 children. H6 set up his
harem in 1889.

He Preferred the lVIortgage.

A. Swede went into a lawyer‘s office
'at Sigourney the other day to get him
to make out a conveyance for some
land which he had purchased. He
said he wanted a mortgage, but the
lawyer said he should have a warran-
ty deed. , “No,” replied the Swede, “1

once had a, warrantydeed to a farm,

but another man held a mortgage and
got the land. I want a mortgage.”—

DANCING IN COURT—Elig-m EUROPE.

\‘Valtzing forbidden at State Balls at Bell—
lin and Potsdam. ‘
' Dancing plays a great role in the
court life of Europe. The chief thing
at a court ball is to avoid tumbling
when dancing. This is more difficult
than may appear at first sight. For
even walking—let alone dancing—en
the highly-polished and parquetted
floors of the royal palaces of Europe
is attended with some danger. It was
owing to a tumble sustained by a
royal princess while dancing with a
young officer of the guard at a court
ball at Berlin some twenty years ago ‘
that waltzing has ever since been
been strictly forbidden at all the state
balls at Berlin or Potsdam; nor are
waltzes permitted to figure on the pro.
gramme of any. private ball that may
be honored with the presence of prin-
cesses of a reigning house. .
The only exception to the rule in
Germany is at the court of Wurtem-
berg, where, thanks to the influence
of the beautiful young Queen, who is
passionately fond of dancing, a taste
which is shared by her pretty step-
daughter, Princess Pauline, the former
edict against the waltz has been re
scinded. and for the first time in 20

.years it has again made its appear-

ance upon the programmes of the state
balls at Stuttgart. ,-

In England the most energetic
waltzer is the Prince of Wales, who
invariably dances a very fast “deux
temps,” on the ground that it is a
“splendid form of exercise,” and ex-
ceedingly “healthy,” since it makes
him “perspire” freely. ?

The Princess of Wales is a beauti-
ful waltzer, and very fond of it, as
was also her sister, the now widowed
Empress of Russia. The Queen of
Portugal is a very energetic though
scarcely graceful waltzer, while
QueenMarguerite of Italy has been
forced by her embonpoint to restrict
herself to square dances.

It may be added that Queen Victoria
was formerly extremely fond of
dancing. and that as late as fifteen
and twenty years ago she was wont
frequently to “tread a measure“ at the
tenants’ and servants’ balls, which she
gives every year at Balmoral Castle
during her annual stay in the High-
lands. On many occasions he'r body
servant and “gillie,” the late John
Brown, was her partner, and it was
with mingled admiration and awe that
the guests staying at the castle and
