Land and a Living
Are best aod cheapest infhe Great New South. The northern |farmer, artisan, merchant, manufacturer, are all hurrying into this rapidly developing country as pioneers. The open climate, the low price of land, and its steady increase in valui- the pus'tive assurance of crops, with but little effort to raise them, all combine to turn all eyes southward. cil
To assist in this movement, low railroad rates have been inaugurated ovor The Queen k, Crescent Route from northern townB and villages, both round trip and one-way tickets being on sale at about half the usual rates. Round-trips soiling on the firBt and third Tuesday of each month one-way tickets on the first Tuesday each month.
Now iB the time for you to go and see^ Much has been said and written about the fruit, grains and grasses along The Queen & Crescent Route and about its climate—no blizzards and no sunstrokes Summer nights are cool. Grass grows green ten moiiths in the year. Less wear and tear in livingj than you've known in the north. A million acres of land at S3 to SO an acre, on easy terms. Now is the time to go and see for yourself. Write to W. C. Rinearson, G. P. A., Queen A Crescent Koute, Cincinnati, O., for such information as you desire before starting. tf

I A Lesson in Love.
Lfinmrn 1 nnmTnTTTmmTTmmrTmo "I suppose I love him. I wondef at niyself for hesitating any longer to answer his letter."
Madeline turned the letter over in her hand and looked intently at the clear, even writing on the envelope. "He waa not very much disturbed when he wrote that," she said "there Is not a single line or curve that denotes nervousness." She turned the letter over. I fancy he never stamped the seal more perfectly. Now, really, Jt seems that his hand should have trembled just a little—a very little. "I have said all my life," she said thoughtfully, "that I would never marry without love, but I never dreamed it would be difficult to know whether I loved." She threw her head back a little wearily and sighed. "If I knew," she said slowly "if I only knew, I would place as high a value upon the giving of my heart as any woman that lives. I only know that he is as much or more to me than anyone else that I have ever seeen in my life we have similar tastes be is all my judgment tells me an honorable gentleman should be he is of good family, sensible, practical and clever." She reached out her hand and touched a little bell at her side. "Bring my desk," she said to the smart little maid who entered, and when she was once more alone, without any further hesitation, she languidly commenced her letter. "So this is love," she said. "It is not as I thought—after all, what is as we hink it should be? "What dreams we have, we girls, and how different the reality! Ah, well "May I come in, Miss Madeline?"
Madeline looked up at the tall, slight girl standing just outside her door, and, smiling kindly into the gray eyes, bade her enter. She was a seamstress that Madeline had known for some time, and had been interested in because she thought she had discovered depths in this nature better worth Btudying than most of her society friends. Madeline was one of thoso people we seldom but do someflmeB meet, who was capable of understanding human nature in all its phases, and of tolerating even those opinions cf which she did not approve. A soul great enough to reach to the very depths for hidden good.
Stella had opened her heart to her as everything else did, and all life and every life was interesting to Madeline. Perhaps she understood, and everyone's confidence was sacred.
One keen glance at Stella and she knew the girl was troubled. "You are unhappy, Stella. Sit down," putting her letter aside as if it was not a matter that influenced her whole life. "What is it?" "Miss Madeline, 1 have told you ibout Mr. Hastings. I want to write a letter to him. 1 want to ask you to write it for me. You are'so smart, Miss Madeline, and so well educated, and so is he. I know what I want to say, but I can't write it." "Why do you not tell him, Stella?" "He doesn't come to see me now, you know. I think it is like this: He has grown tired and thinks I will not caro. He thinks no woman cares much. I am so sure if he really knew, if there is anyway of making him understand how dear a man can be to a woman, he would come back to me—he would marry me. I want him to know. I want to tell you and then you must make him understand, will you, Miss Madeline?" "I will try," said Madeline kindly, taking up her desk, putting her own letter aside very calmly, and arranging some fresh sheets of paper with great precision. She was very glad to help Stella and she went about it in the confident way one feels when perfectly satisfied with the latest thing in stationery, a pen, and a perfect familiarity with the forms which custom has prescribed. "Now, Stella, I am ready what am 1 to say?" "Tell him," said the girl, her great
"GO AND TELL HIM YOURSELF." gray eyes turned upon the frescoed ceiling dreamily. "Tell him that he is breaking my heart that there is not a moment when he Is not in my thoughts. I dream of him when I sleep, and 1 dream of him when I am awake when the sun shines it seems a mockery. When I hear anyone laugh I put my hands up—quick—to shut out th sound, and if I see even a child in tears every sob grasps at my heartstrings like the hand of death. "Tell him," she continued more rapIdly, and this time her eyes flashed into Madeline's, "tell him that I cannot bear It—I cannot bear it." Her voice rose and rang like a tolling bell. "Tell him that a flower that he has crushed with his foot is more to me than all the love that could ever grow In any other human heart. Tell him that I would rather sit and sew by my window twelve long hours, if by so doing I oould just see him pass my door once, than to spend those hours In the finest palace inrtde by hands I would rather hear one kind word from his lips—just one—than to be the honored wife of •ny other man that lives."
Madeline put 4own the pen that had
never written such words, and her
hand
sank helplessly upon the desk. "Tell him there never has been— never will be—in the whole world a woman that can care for him as I do. There is nothing, not one thing that might be his wish that I would not do for him if I could. He cared for me, he did he said I was worth all the other girls he had ever met', but that none of them were true, and that all of them soon forgot. Forget! Tell him that the faintest smile I ever saw in his ryes is all the heaven I know the kind words that he has spoken to me and all the words he has ever spoken make up all that is bright in my life." "Tell him all that, and then tell him
She went on more and more rapidly: that I cannot bear it—I cannot bear it. If he would only come to me to see me sometimes when he is tired of everything else he would be as welcome as the sunshine. "if he ever suffers, if anything ever makes him unhappy, it will kill me—1 want to bear it all. Tell him if he came and put his hand in mine I would face hell Itself, and gladlv, for him—— "Tell him
Madeline rose to her feet, and with hands that shook placed the desk upon the table. A few steps more, and her hands wprp flung with a passionate abandonment, new to her, about the girl's form, while the tears rained down her cheeks. "In the name of God!" she cried, "go and tell him yourself tell him what you have told me, and if he turns away from such a love—no matter, I eay, Stella, what has ever been in your past or his—if he turns from such a love he is not human. "Go and tell him. Stella, open youf heart to him, as you have to me. I know who he is, and I believe he is a man of character. Go and tell him what you have told me, and say to him that I say—'God bless all such love!'
Stella looked up and smiled. "I love him," she said simply. And Madeline smiled as she took up her desk again, a glad smile at tha thought of a possible future that might still hold something of the beauty that Is every girl's birthright.
And wrhen Mr. Williams carefully and deliberately opened a perfumed note that he was perfectly sure he knew the contents of, he sat long with the dainty, brief missive in his hand and wondered why—in the name of all that was inconsistent—she had said no! K. C. B.
A Cantions Benefactor.
The colonel is a benevolent old gentleman, but he very much dislikes ths idea of being imposed upon. Every demand upon him for charity causes a cerebral conflict between his bump of philanthropy and his hump of suspicion. As he passed along the crowded street a young man hurried along by his side and poured the usual tale of mendicancy in his ear. He told a very impressive story of misfortune and his Inability to get work. The colonel's hand went instinctively toward his pocket, but he caught himself and said: "Are you sure you have tried to get work?" "I've tried every possible way," was the answer. "And you'd take work if It were offered you?" "Quick as a wink." "Well, it's hard to believe anybody nowadays. Will you wait here a few minutes while I go into the hotel and buy a cigar? Then possibly I'll have some change for you. Here's to-day's paper. Read that till I come back."
The man took the paper and the colonel, instead of going inside the hotel, stood off at a distance, and watched him. The man opened th& paper, and busied himself with one of the inside pages. The colonel came up behind him, looked over his shoulder and then touched him on the arm. "Here's a dollar."
The man thanked him and thecolonel remarked to a friend who was standing near: "There's one case where I didn't get fooled, anyhow." "It's a comfort to feel that way," the friend replied. "But these rogues are very clever. You can never rely on the stories they tell." "I didn't rely on the story. I used a little method of my own to test his sincerity. I've tried it a great many times and have spotted more than one imposter by means of it." "What did you do? Employ a private detective?" "That would be cumbersome and expensive. Perhaps you observed that I handed him a paper." "Yes. It struck me as a somewhat superfluous courtesy." "It wasn't a courtesy. It was a Machiavellian snare. I kept my eye on him to see what part of the paper he would read. Nine men out of ten vvhen subjected to this test turn to the sporting department But this man made for the 'Wanted: Male Help' columns. I don't ask for any more convincing evidence that he is worthy of any help that I can give him."
now the Order Was Filled. It is doubtful if ths attempted use of language by people who do not know It ever aroused more amusement than it did in a big Boston china store on the recent receipt of a consignment of goods from Germany. A representative had ordered in that country a variety of goods, and among them a lot of the cups which are beautifully labeled "To my brother," "To a friend," and so on through the list of human relationships. He had ordered with the reBt a lot of mustache cups they were well and duly made but great was his astonishment, when the consignment arrived to find the greater number of the cupe so contrived to protect the beverage against the masculine hirsute adornment labelled thus: "To my slater "To my mother," "To my wife," "To *ny betrothed."—Boston TranicrlBt

If there is a weak and crumbly spot in the foundation of a house, the owner clears out the decaying material, supplants it with new, strong stuff. That's all there is to do, That's all that's necessary.
That is exactly the thing to do with the lungs. Keep them full of rich, red, wholesome blood, and the weakness will disappear. Decaying tissues will be thrown off, and new material will be added until the lungs are well and perfectly strong again. This is the thing that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery does. This is what makes it cure 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption where it is taken according to directions. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be in the body. It exterminates them completely and forces them out of the system. It supplies the blood with rich, life-giving properties. It makes the appetite good, digestion perfect. It supplies the needed nutriment to all the tissues and makes sound, healthy flesh.
There arc some interesting facts about it told In one chapter of Dr. Pierce's great work, "Common Sense Medical Adviser." This boolc of

"T has been held that consumption is hereditary, and the fact that one person of a family had died with consumption was considered a sure sign that others of that family 'could not escape it.
This is partly true and partly untrue. A man with weak
lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to his children. But there is no reason in the world why the weakness should be allowed to develop. There is no reason why the lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs predjspose a child to consumption. They provide a place for germs to settle. That is all that is necessary. Once let the germs of disease gain a foot-hold, and they increase with a deadly rapidity. Pretty soon the blood is full of them, and so loses its healthfulness and its strength-giving qualities. If the weakness is in some other organ, the disease will show itself in that organ. The germs will get into the blood, just the same, and the body will begin to lose strength. We speak particularly of consumption because it is most common— because it causes more than one-sixth of all deaths in the world.
