He is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P. Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy, For It.
Mr..George Briggs, of Moore. Okla.,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. bThe right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For. several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and 1n this manner life was sus-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: f‘Truth is stranger
than Fiction.”
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma.
writes that P. P. P., Lippman 5 Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after th1ee
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple down
the 1ight side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightes touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him' 1n torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that the1e are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med-
icine, P. P. P. , Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis-
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily 1 emoved
by P. P. P., Lippmans Great Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your

A JUST INSTINCT.
A EVERETT HdLBROOK.
Fate was a cat, and Leonard Her-
rick was a mouse. There had been
Some rare sport-but Herrick was of
the opinion that it could not last much
longer. He had run this way and that
way,» and a thousand times he had fan-
cied that the velvet 'paws, with the
long, sharp claws springing out of
them, had caught him just in time. Sc
at last he lay still panting, not know-
ing which way to turn.
He was in a big city, all alone. The
people who rushed by Lim 11 ere like
the thoughts that 11 liiiled through his
b1ain—they weie' shadows, and the
everlasting train of them 11: 1d no be-
ginning 0r end. He could not distin-
guish the real men and women whom
he saw from those whom he
merely remembered. Now andpagain
there appeared in the throng the faces
of the dead. He did not mind those.
But there were others that he shrank
from.
He stood with his back against the
iron fencein front of Trinity church.
Herrick’s hands were in his pock-
ets. He crumpled a crackling piece
of paper, which men at that he could
live several days long-er if he cared to
do so. As to a more extended future,
he could not picture it. All the lines
of his life seemed to end in a knot
which could by 110 means be untied,
but must merely be dropped. He re-
membered that there we1e miiaclcs,
but he could not think of one to wish
f01.
He crossed Broadway and walked
down Wall street, slowly and with hes-
itation, for he had no errand. A voice
"cried, “Cab, sir!" almost in his car.
He turned and looked up at the man
on the box.
“Is it possible,” he said to himself,
“that I still look like a gentleman?”
He felt toward the cabman as toward
one who had given him a helping
hand. Why not pay the debt? To do
so would cost him only a day of his
life.
pocket.
“Yes,” he said.
Fifth Avenue hotel.”
It was the first place that had come
into his mind. He got into the cab
and snapped the door. The cushioned
seatnnd the comfortable support for
his head were very refreshing. A fan-
cy came to him that he would dine de-
cently and then go to a theatre. The
extravagance would" be trifling, for it
was really of small importance
whether he starved to death on Sun-
day or the following “Veriucsuay. He
was in a mood to make a jest of it
1111.
A strong glare from an electric light
struck down into the carriage and
made visible to him a package in
brown paper that looked as if it might
be a sandwich. The object protruded
from under the seat. He thought it
must be the cabman’s supper which
had been hidden in some small locker
and had fallen upon the floor. The
idea that the food should be spoiled
was disagreeable to Herrick, and so he
picked up the little brown bundle.
It was smaller than he had supposed,
and it did not feel like bread. But
had it been food, and he at the last
pang of starvation, the touch of it
would not have sent such a thrill
through all his frame.
He knew that the contents of that
package was money. It felt like a mass
of bills folded, awkwardly wrapped
up and fastened with elastic bands.
Through the brown covering Herrick
could feel the crispness of the govern-
ment paper. The amount might be a
poor man’s monthly wages or a rich
man’s profit on a great transaction.
As to his own conduct in this matter,
Herrick had no doubt whatever. I Eate
had thrown this money into his hands,
and fate might take it away, but not
if he could hold 011 tightly enough.
His fingers trembled as he picked at
the elastic bands. Suddenly and with-
out his knowing why the rubber
strings vanished with a loud snap that
startled him, and the package sprang
open on his knees. He caught aflash
of green color, and then the cab rolled
out of light into shadow.
It seemed a long time before
another light struck in upon him. At
the moment when it did so he saw a
face close to the cab door, and he
dodged back, covering the bills with
his hands. ' But the chance passenger
on the street saw nothing. 'He was
thinking of his own affairs no doubt
and had no inkling of the strange
thing that passed so close ,to his eyes.
Herrick was himself again in a mo-
ment, and he bent forward, eagerly
scanning the bills in his hands and
counting them feverishly. - There were
forty of them and each was of the de-
nomination of $1,000.
Throughout the latter period of the
young man’s misfoitnnes he had had
substantially but one 111sh~~to rest.
Rest has many forms, suited to a vast
variety of individual tastes

taken the form of travel without care. i
All paths lie open for a man. who has '
forty thousand dollars, and there is no
reason why care should sit behind him
as he rides.
He disposed the notes in his pockets
in the best interests of comfort and
safety. Then he folded up the brown
paper and pocketed that also, with :1
dim consciousness that if it were left
in the cab it might get the driver in-
to trouble. The fellow was honest, no
doubt, and Herrick did not wish that
he should suffer wrong.
How to leave the cab was a question
which concerned him near He did
not wish to confront the d we): again,
for there might be an inves igation,
and a question of identification might
arise, in which case it would be well
to have the man know as little as pos-
sible of Herrick’s personal appearance.

"l‘he cab stopped suddenly, its path
being blocked by a tangle of vehicles
~Herrick softly put his hand upon the
catch of the door. It yielded noise-
lessly; the door swung open.
Herrick stepped out. Turning back
for an instant, he perceived-the cab-'
man sitting upon his box in entire un-
consciousness of the fraud that was
being practised upon him. He was
:1 poor man and doubtless worked hard
for all the money that he received.
Still, it was reckless to attract his at-
tention ugainfespecially so after hav-
ing left the cab in that strange 'man-
ner. ’ ’
"here was a way to the sidewalk
through the press‘of vehicles. Her-
rick saw it from the corner of his eye
and was about to take advantge of it.
Instead. to his surprise, he found him-
self turned toward the cabman, and
immediately he heard his own voice
saying,—
_ “I have decided to get out here. How
much do I owe you?”
The cabman named his.price, and
Herrick paid him with a $5 bill which
had been the sum of his wealth and
the end of it, so far as he could see,
so short a time before. He counted
his change carefully, remembering that
he would probably have to wait until
the next day before he could break
one of the thousands. Enough re-
mained to him from the bill for a sup-
per, :1 bed and a breakfast.
When he had found a restaurant he
ordered a meal and ate it with. relish.
It was enchanted food. It was the
fare on the Atlantic liner, the delica-
cies of European hotels and the fruits
of the tropics.
He cared little for his bed. It would
be no more than a place to lie and
think of the future. It was many a
night since he had really slept. Cer-
tainly with so much upon his mind he
would not sleep this night, even if he
should try. So when he had been
shown to his room in :1. hotel he piled
his pilld’ws against the headboard of
the bed and reclined against them,
fully dressed. He was very happy.
No question of right or wrong in what
he had done or what he expected to do
came to torment him. For a long time
he had borne his life like a tremendous
burden. This had suddenly slipped
from his shoulders. leaving his natu-
ral powers benumbed. .
In the midst of his first vision of a
new life he was aroused by a knock-
He started up; his legs
would hardly support him; he had no
voicewith which to ask who was
there. But one explanation was possi-
ble. He must have been watched by
the police.
He tottered to the-door, and gave ut-
terance to a hoarse, inarticulate sound.
“Eight o’clock, sir!” cried a voice
without. “You asked to be called, sir.”
He rushed to the 'indow and flung
open the shutters. Day streamed in,
strong and beautiful. The gas flame
paled. He knew that he had slept as
he had not slept before in years. In
the mysterious depths of his life he
felt a new strength stirring, but it was
only nascent as yet.
A bath and a breakfast revived him
still more. He felt the exhilaration of
a busy day upon which he was enter-
ing. He scanned the papers, but so
far as he could see they had no news
of the money that had been lost. He
was not conscious of any excitement
The fear
of detection had qu ultO left him. Of all
stolen gods, money is the hardest to
recover. ',
His pockets were bulging with
money, but there was something in one
of them that he couldn‘t remember to
have put there. He pulled it out and
found it to be the brown paper that
had contained the money. As he held
it in his hand it was concealed by his
newspaper. No fell-ow passenger could
see it, and it was doubly fortunate, be-
cause in plain sight upon the paper
were the name and address, “Herbert
L. Graham, 40 Wall street.”
The train was just stopping at Rec-
tor street. That was the station near-
es the steamship office. Thrusting the
brown paper back in his pocket, he left
the car and went with the throng down
to the street. He was thinking about
the accommodations he aWould cheese.
on the steamer." He continued to think
of that and kindred subjects, yet he
turned north on Broadway instead of
south. Presently he found himself
asking an elevator boy in a big build-
ing if he knew where Mr. Graham’s
ofiice was.
Mr. Graham happened to be in his
outer office when Herrick entered. He"
was pouring it stoi v into the ear of an-
other giey haired ‘17 all swti ee. man, and
Heuick heard a few words of it—some-
thing about cabs and cash and care-
lessness.
“I have found the men vthat you
lost,” said Herrick. {He-r -. 93it is.”
“Zion!” c1ied the banker, clutching
the bills in his fingers. ‘Z'Iy dear fel-
low, tell me all about _t. ”
“There's nothing to tell," replied the
young man. “I merely found it in the

Mr. Graham eyed him a moment in
surprise.
“You take it coolly,” he said.
“I couldn’t take it at 111:. ’ responded
Herrick, with a feeble smile. "I don’t

For light weight wool costumes there
is a new style of coat with a blouse
back and close fitting front, well cov-
cred with a large collar, rather narrow
in the back, but wide and extending to
the bottom in front. \Vide collars of
some sort are a special feature of the
new coats, and many of the very latest
gowns, whether they are made with a
coat or.round waist, quite regardless
of the kind of material. Very pretty
collars are of taffeta silk, finely tucked
in groups or closely all over, and to be
correct the tucks must be in the nar-
rowest possible width, with a finish on
the end of tiny side plaitiugs. The
collar, which is narrow front and back,
meeting at the neck band and extend-
ing out over the sleeves in the form of
an epaulette, is especially good style.
The Wide fancy collar is a feature of
the new thin bodices of gauze 01' chif-
fon, as well as the°heavier materials,
1nd it is sometimes made of the same
thin fabric, Shirred full of tiny tucks
or of tulle in some contrasting color,
lined with silk of the color of the bod-
ice. Batiste and muslin gowns of the
daintiest description. have the same
style of collar, made of alternate rows
of tucks and insertion finished around
the edge with a lace frill, or entirely
of lace over colored silk. An example
of this in the new shape is shown in
the first illustration, which is a charm-
ing model for a colored or white or-
gandie or an écru batiste. White or-
gandie is the material employed in this
case, and thenew fine Swiss embroid-
eryvso popular this season is the trim-
ming, set in two rows of insertion
down either side of the skirt and in
the bodices and sleeves. Two rufiles

lar of pale green and white Shot taf-
feta is covered with the embroidery.
The silk also forms the dress, and the
underdress is of pale green, fine and
sheer. ,
The underdresses of organdie or very
sheer lawn are trimmed with ruffles at
the bottom, which make the skirts
stand out and preserve the lightness in

Others will, when loosened from the

“I was in conversation a short time
ago with some capitalists who propose
to form a development company. Their
plan is to purchase a tract of land and
divide it into ten- acre tracts. These
tracts are to be fenced in, the land
cleared, and a suitable house built on
each one. They will then. furnish the
farmer with the necesSary implements,
seed, etc., to give him a start the first
year. A gentleman who is familiar
with the resources of the State, and
whose word is not to be doubted, was
asked how much money the farmer
would need to be given to carry him
