of disease—pure blood or an active
liver. How explained? The circu-
lation of the blood is the great high-
way over which the germs of disease
travel, the liver is the quarantine
through whose gate any dread dis-
ease may or may not pass, as the
liver chooses.
Are you watchful? Is your blood
in order and your liver active, so as
to repel disease? If not, you will
find in Dr. Piercels Golden Medical
Discovery just the help you need.
It comes ,to your assistance when
you have such warnings of impure
blood and inactive liver, as pimples,
boils or carbuncles; or a feeling of
lassitude, weakness and despondency.
When your flesh is, from any cause,
“ reduced bele’w a healthy standard,”
you’ve only to take the “Discovery,”
which will set all the organs into
vigorous action and builds up both
flesh and Strength. Avoid nauseous
preparations of God liver oil. They
add fat, but not wholesome flesh or
healthy tissue.

'HILLSIDE, NORWALK.
A STATESMAN. '
He was a dashing young Congressman,
who came to Washington on the tidal
wave from one of the districts in the
South. But he had not been at thelCap-
itoi more than six months before those
who had known him at home and came
here on business, scarcely recognized him
as the same man. A great change had
come over Mr. Algernoue Smith Browns
lee, M. C. At home he had never
amounted to much socially. He came of
very poor parents—“white trash” the
colored verdict said—though his relations
had never been indicted by the Grand
Jury. Mr. Browniee's pedigree, however,
began with Mr. Brownlee, and what he
lacked in pedigree he made up by his
prodigious hustling abilities.
With his keen energy and hustling
tendency of mind, he had the good fort—
une to combine an affable disposition, an
accommodating manner, a pleasant smile
and acertain good address. \Vhen he
entered the race for Congress none im—
agined for a minute that he had the
slightest prospect of success, but the
average political weather prophet has a
very dangerous tendency to pin his
faith to the infallibility of his own
Opinions and stand pat upon them; and
that is why it happens so often that
young men like Mr. Bi‘iHanee beat out
an old race horse and go to Congress on
a tidal wave. Unlike the raVens who
croaked his doom, Brownlee did some
characteristic hustling, snatched the
nomination from a tired old campaigner
and was elected.
When he reached \Vashington he wore
the conventional soft black felt hat and
long black skirt coat—a Southern idea of
a Prince Albert. But before he had
been here six months he looked likea
copy of the latest edition of one of Jim
Bell’s Broadway swells, with a silk hat,
black cutaway coat and gray trousers.
And that’s why his constituents scarcely
recognized him.
It’s strange how these things happen
in Washington. The rich and thorough-
bred Miss Daisy Vernon, who had smiled
with icy scorn upon the suits of a dozen
society people casting themse v.-s at her
feet, together with their fortunes and
pedigrees, felt her heart dissolve beneath
the insidious attention of Mr. Brownlee,
M. C. There may have been something
in that M. C., a mistaken idea, perhaps,
that a man who is sent to Congress must
be the cock of the walk in his district—-
an idea that some persons have—and
that, altogether, the suit of a member of
the House who combined as many at-
tractive qualities as her Brownlee was
preferable to that of any other mortal.
And so, to cut things short, after a
dashing courtship, they were married at
one of too fashionabiechurches, with a
great dispay of pomp, the attendance of
her distinguished relatives and his Uon~
gressionai friends. members of the press,
etc. Then, after a. brilliant reception,
they departed on their bridal trip, but
not to' Brownlee’s home. On the con-
trary, he purchased tickets over a rail-
road that took him in adiametricaily
opposite direction, just as far from his
distric. as he could go. ,
On the whole Brownlee deserved suc-
cess. He had no influential friends to
thank for his rise in the world; no fami-
iyrinfluence had stood back of him to
direct his efforts; no money had been
used to buy him a seat in Congress. He
had just invested what mother wit nat‘
ure had endowed him with, in such op-
portunities as came to hand, and; when
fortune, in her timid way, had knocked
at his door, as she is said to do at every
.man’s door once in a lifetime, he had
said “Come in!” in his loudest tones.
* * it il‘ -Y: 59 i
The sessiOn came to an end. The elec-
tion was near at hand, and every member
hastened home to look after his fences.
It was the hardest struggle of his life to
decide upon a course of action with re-
gard to his aristocratic wife. Take her
home? Leave her here? He suggested
the latter course. .
“I have been thinking a good deal
about it,” remarked Mrs. Brownlee. “I
think I shall accompany you. You know,
dear, I have never seen your papa and
mamma. I have formed my own ideas of
them, and am real anxious to see them.
They must be just charming people to
have a. son like my Ally.”
“Well, I’m not ashamed of ’em, any-
how,” he replied in desperation.
They packed their things and left town
the next evening.
If Mrs. Brownlee, in her buoyant trust-
fuiness, anticipated scenes of greeting in
which mingled the picturesque effects of
a summer residence on the banks of Lake
Como, as described by Claude Melnotte,
with the other details of romantic stage
illusions, which beguile the senses of a.
girl who has seen only the fashionable
side of life, her anticipations were some-
what dampened when they stepped off
the train in the dark and found them-
selves on a platform where some rough
looking men were lounging about under
the canopy of a projecting roof that
was sheltering them from a. dreary rain-
fall.
“Dog my oats, Bill!” called out one, “if
this ain’t Smith Brownlee. Hello, Smith;
got back, have yo’?” slapping him on the
back. “My. but yo’ look puttyl Come
’ere, Jim, .ook at ’im. Would ye know
’im ef yo’ met ’im on a dark road? Say,
Smith, yo' must a—struck it rich when
we sent yo’ to C« ngress? When yo’ left
yar yo’ didn’t have an overcoat to yo’
back, an’ 1’“ leave it tovthe crowd, now,
did ’ee?” .
Smith tried to take it as a joke. He
laughed softly and introduced his wife
in the iii-lighted waiting room whither
the delegation of his constituents had
followed.
They removed their hats and stared at
the lady like a lot of bumpkins: but this
diversion continued only until the most
loud spoken constituent could think of
saying something that was intended for
a compliment to Mrs. Brownlee, but
which ricochetted upon her husband in
the form of another rude sally at the
metamorphosis of his condition, when
they all hawhawed in chorus.
Mrs. Brownlee was beginning to get
shocked. The smell of the coal oil made
her ill, and she pinched her' husband’s
arm as a signal to break away and to hie
to the bosom of his family.
Brownlee told'the ’bus driver to stop at
the hotel. He did; but the owner was
tearing down that part of the building
where the rooms for guests were located,
to rebuild, he said, “agin court time,”
and there was no place there for them.
So there was nothing to do but what
Brownlee, in the most desperate calcula-
tion of his chances, had never contem—
plated even as a. last resort-stop at his
home.
“Daisy," said he, in a hoarse voice as
the ’bus splashed through the mire of
the road; “Daisy”-—-softly taking her
hand in his—“are you prepared to make
Newsboys wanted.
a sacrifice for me; greater, I hope, than
any I shall ever ask you to make for me
again in all our lives?"
She said “yes,” warily, with her head
swaying loosely on her shoulders like a
sick child’s; “what do you ask me?”
“That you will not hate and despise
me when I introduce you to my father
and mother,” he said, tenderly.
“They are poor, then?” she asked in
that same weary tone.
"They are the commonest people in the
State; they are so common that when
everybody in town had the cholera it
passed them .by as not worth noticing.”
“My!” she exclaimed, “how did you
ever get into Congress?”
“By my own efforts, and not with the
help of anybody in the world. I just
simply hustled for it.”
“Well,” she said. “let it come.”
Browniee’s mother smoked a corncob
pipe and had whiskers. Brownlee’s father
ate his supper in his shirt- sleevss, and
wore cowhide boots outside of his pants
while he was eating it. The wonder is
that he didn’t go to bed with them. The
furniture was scant, and they rented the
house; that is, they rented it, but Brown-
lee. M. C., paid the rent.
The greeting that the Browniees, first
edition, extended to the Browniees, sec-
ond edition, was cordial to demonstra‘
tiveness. The maternal Browulee was
something of a cook, and soon had a
repast steaming on the table.
It wasn’t a bad supper, but Mrs. Brow n«
lee didn’t have her Washington appetite
with her, and her slight headache had
grown worse, and she asked to be shown
to her room.
The room had no comforts except a.
patched carpet, a pine bedstead and an
upright packing box with a curtain
drawn around it for a washstand and a
portable mirror of the species often seen
at cheap auction stores. .
And this was what her Lake Como
illusion had shrunk to!
When she arose the next morning her
headache had not abated. The smell of
fried pork and coffee that struck her
olfactories while she was dressing was too
much for her delicate nerves, and she
never wished herself farther away from
the house of her husband’s parents than
at that moment. She sipped a little
coffee and then withdrew again to her
room, just to be alone. W'hen Brownlee,
M. 0.. entered, she was lying on the bed
fully dressed, weeping.
What passed between them in the in‘
terview that took place is a. matter of
conjecture. The result became evident
when the ’bus drove up to the Brownlee
mansion that evening, and Mr. and Mrs.
Brownlee, the younger, got in and rode
to the depot. Brownlee saw his wife
safely aboard the Pullman car, and then
stood on the platform and watched the
train disappear in the distance. .
But that did not deter Brownlee from
getting out and hustling. If he had
worked like a Trojan the first time for
his nomination, he threw the energy of
a double dose of Trojan devotion into his
efforts now. All the voters in the dis-
trict did not know what the loafers at
the station knew and what Brownlee
himself knew, that he came of the com.
monest stock of white blood in the
State. They perhaps didn’t care. Brown-
lee had been a good member, and he could
talk like a. threshing machine. and his-
geniai manners carried the day, and the
result of it all was that he was renomin‘
ated and elected, and went back to \Vash—
ington to finish his unexpired term of
service in the House.
His wife sat in the gallery one day
unseen by him when a great debate was
on. Brownlee had prepared himself for
the master effort of his life. " He had got
the consent of the leaders on his side to
make a speech. He attracted little at-
tention as he arose, and with his genial
smile glanced over the House, drew a
deep breath and launched forth. But by
and by he warmed to his subject, and
here and there a member on the other
side interrupted him. Then suddenly
Brownlee’s genius flashed forth in all its
originality. Several members who had
tried to trip him up found themselves
mercilessly impaled upon the fiery shafts
of Browniee’s sharp retorts and held up
'to the ridicule of the House, while Brown-
lee smiled in that fetching way of his
that made him resemble an expert con-
jurer when he contemplates the astonish—
ment of the deluded victims of his
craftiness.
Before he sat down Brownlee had
scored a triumph that insured him a
place on one of the big committees in the
House when the next Congress should
organize.
One of the doorkecpers handed him a
note. He was receiving the congratulw
tions of his side of the House, and he did
not open it for several minutes, holding"
it almost forgotten in his closed hand.
When he opened it he read:
“DEAR ALLY—l am n'eady to beg your
pardon now—any time. Come. Am
heartbroken. “DAISY.”

The Polite Boston ,Girl.
A very fashionable young man hadq
just come out into the wind from the
shelter of the buildings, when the gale
took his hat and whirled it off down the
street towards Copley Square at a terri-
ble rate.
The young man looked helplessly after
it. In the midst of its flight it chanced
to pass near a very pretty girl on the
sidewalk. She madcva run for it, caught
it, and actually started a little towards
the young man with it; and as he pres-
ently came running up she took out-her
handkerchief. dusted the hat and handed
it to the young man with a how. He
wasactuaily too much dumfounded by
the proceeding .to utter a word of thanks.
He merely took the hat and thrust it'
foolishly on his head, while the young
lady, 'with a faint smile on her pretty
face, walked away. And there was not
a single bystander. even in that con-'
servative neighborhood, who seemed in'
the least shocked, or indeed other than
pleased—Boston Transcript.
A Fat Woman's Dilemma.
“Pardon me, young man,” she said;
“can you tell me what the next station
is?"
“Haverford, ma’am.”
“Well, young man when we get there
will you help me off the train?”
“I wouldn't ask your assistance, young
man, but I tried to get ofl two stations
back and couldn’t. You see I am so-stout
that I have to get down the ,platform
steps backward. The conductor saw me
unfortunately, and thinking. from my
position I was just boarding the train,
helped me on again.”—Phiiadelphia

SLEEVES DROOP UNDER THE WEIGl-I'll
OF WINTER WRAPPINGS.
The Evolution of Styles. Fashions Now
Are in the Interest of the Shop Keeper.
Rough Woolp, Braids and Buttons are
Conspicuous. ’About Under Garments.
“W‘hat are thé fashions?” is a question
which is, at least, temporarily settled in
the feminine mind, but “What is fashs
ion P” is a query ever open to argument,
and as productive of inconclusive answers
as the more vital one, “Is marriage a fail-
ure?” The wise woman who says that
“fashion is simply force of example exero
cised ”in cut and material, rather than
thought and principle,” gives a pretty
clear solution of the problem. Some one
who, by fate, circumstances, or a peculiar
gift in originating designs, sets himself
up as an authority on dress, and no mat.
ter what manner of exaggerations he
thrusts upon the market of fashions, they
are, with rare exceptions, sure to be ac-
cepted if he finds a. few followers to dis-
play them. We rebel a little at first, but
we gradually become accustomed to any
phase of dress by seeing others wear it
and soon mould our conservative ideas of
outline and harmony of color to agree
with the examples we have before us. To
be sure, we accept things by degrees so
'we can deceive ourselves with the belief
that original taste is the guiding rule of
dress, but all the same the more unique
and striking the mode presented the more
ready we are to develop its advantages.
For example, the evolution of the sleeve
to its present proportions has occupied
several years, but here it is, the most
conspicuous feature of our gowns, and
we have grown such an admiration for
its possibilities that size seems to be the
one element of beauty in its make up.
Extended skirts which measure eight
yards around at the bottom meet with
approval despite the fact that they are
alarmingly suggestive of the much-dread-
ed crinoiine, and so we are led on by con-
vincing illustration to almost any or
treme in dress which it may suit the
fashion makers to devise. it is too late
to expect any important changes in the
winter fashions, but it is just the time
when great variety in dress is in demand,
and every trifling variation which can be
rung from the theme of the prevailing
mode is sure to be useful.
Smooth satin-faced cloths and rough
wool materials of medium weight are
used extensively for street gowns, par-
ticularly the rough wool crepons, and
among these is a novelty culled “cameo
crepon.” In wool goods shades of serpent
green trimmed with brown and brown
trimmed with green are favorite combi.
nations.
Braiding is coming in again for tailor-
made gowns, and the military uniform
patterns, used above narrow bands of
fur, are very eflective.
Buttons of elegant enamel and imita-
tion gems are gaining favor, but they are
chiefly employed for ornament where they
might be useful.
Fine nainsooks, French batiste, and
sheer lawus are the popular materials for
underwear, and China silks are very little
used, except for night gowns, which
might be more properly called wrappers,
as they are elaborately trimmed and made
to wear over a nainsook gown. They are
sometimes made with a yoke of alternate
rows of lace insertion and silk, both back
and front; and again the back is tucked
to thewaist, where a short belt \onflnv
the'fulness. and ,to this a. ribbon is at«
‘tached, which ties inefront with long
ends. A wide bertha of lace insertion,
silk, and lace edging goes over the shoul-
ders. In pink, pale blue and white these
gowns are tempting enough to make any
woman forget all her resolutions of
economy—N. Y. Sun.

While Backache in itself is not
adiseasc, it indicates a derange-
ment of the vital organs—it’s a
symptom of disease. Kidney
trouble, at any stage, is serious
and neglect of the symptom
means neglecting the disease.
Curing a Backachc means cur-
ing diseased Kidneys and reliev-
ing them of congestion. This
can be done in the early stages.
Buker’s Kidney Pills are specific
for the cure of Backachc and
