Weak Women To weak and ailing women, there 18 at least one Way to help. But with that way, two treatments, must be combined. One is local, one is constitutional, but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shoop's Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. 8hoop!s Night Cure—is a topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Sloop's Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve, all tissue, and alLMood ailments. The Night Cure 7 . as its name implies, does Its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflamed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed Mrtagth. vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's Bertorstive—Tablets or Liquid—asa general tonic to the system. For positive local help, use as well Dr. tShoop’s Night Cure A. F. LONG.

THE LOST MAN

One evening a num came into a New York restaurant and sat down opposite another man. y “Dalton !” the newcomer said. “Well, Holloway ?” said the other. - "I thought you were dead.” "So I am, sb far as you’re concerned. Who’d have thought you’d turn up here?" ' « "Yes, Vwhat luck! I thought NewYork was big enough to turn around In without stumbling over some confounded old acquaintance.*’ "Old acquaintance—well, that’s pretty cool. However, I shan’t bother you. You needn’t be afraid of me. I’m not going back out there, and if you ever do I’ll trouble you to keep a still tongue. You needn’t say you saw me. Understand?”

“Oh, yes,” said the other man. "But I don’t bank much on going back myself. I’m about sick of this country. I don’t blame you for wanting to ktep out. But, I say, that was a funny thing, your dropping out the way you did. Everybody thinks you’re dead or loco and shut up somewhere. They had no end of a time looking for you—dragged the river. “I was down in Mexico. How long ago did you leave Calif— Beg your pardon! I withdraw the question unless it happens to be”— “Oh, it doesn’t matter. I left eight months ago. I’m only here for—for a few days—just passing through.”

“Yes? Let’s see; it’s two. three years since I came away. Do you know what this reminds me of? Two hurrying shapes, don’t you know, in No Man’s Land met each other face to face—very awkward sometimes—and bade each other stand.” “Sounds like footpads,” suggested the nervous man. “No; It’s poetry. Well, they asked each other's name”— Here the two men looked at one another, and the nervous man broke into a giggle. “Exactly. We won’t do that.” He emptied his glass and set it down. “They call this stuff California claret.” be said. “Look here, don’t you want some news?”

“News?” The quiet man blinked uncertainly for a moment and then said: “Yes, I suppose so. What Is it?” •‘Well, I meant— You know Sharpless is mayor now. We got him In last year, and It was the biggest fight the town ever saw. Jim Luke got the city the new city hall, with velvet carpets and hand painted spittoons. Oh, the boys are all right, And you wouldn’t know the place—brick blocks going up everywhere and cable cars on Main street.” The quiet man began to eat his sparrow and stringy salad. “I suppose so,” he said. “And, say— Well, of course it’s none of my business. I suppose you hear from out there anyway.” "Not a word,” said the quiet man. “But go ahead If you’ve got anything to tefi.’’

“Weil, It’s only about—confound it!— your wife. Say, Dalton, why in thunder—lt’s none of my business, but It’s pretty hard on her.” “She must think I’m dead. I am dead.” “Well, she doesn’t She’s still looking for you. When they didn’t find you in the river, you know, she had detectives. They combed San Francisco for you.” The quiet man moved uneasily. “Detectives cost money,” he said. “They do. She’s teaching now In the public schools. The boys put that through. She gets $95 a month, and that about feeds the five young ones.” “I left her enough. I left her half the money I had. If I could have fixed it so, she could have got my life Insurance.”

"Well, why didn’t you? There was the river. Excuse me, old man, but Is this any better?” « “Oh, yes,” said Dalton dreamily. “I have a quiet life—all day in the library If I like. You’ve no idea what a racket five children can make in a small house. And then out there I never could get the books I wanted—the Latinists of the fourth century, for instance. And then, you know, a woman —a woman who’s fond of you. It ex* plains why the philosophers were monks. But I’m getting pretty close to bedrock,” he added, frowning. “I don’t like to eat in these places. And to see you herel” "Yes, I know,” said Holloway hastily, "but I’ve got just enough to take me where I’m going. I pulled out with about S6OO, though the boys wouldn’t believe you if you told ’em. I suppose they think I’m living in cotton—Monto Carlo or”— “Six hundred! Why, you used to have your fist in deep. What's the matter—lost your pull?” “Nellie’s got It—my wife, you know —that is, all I could pull out Say, Dalton, I don’t mind telling you—l don't suppose you’d give me away, and if you did I—the police”— —— - “The law can’t touch me,” said Dalton. Holloway’s face flushed dully. "Perhaps not, but I wouldn’t change places with you. My wife’s living in Europe—been there for a year. She’s living well too. She was always crazy to go. She’s got enough to make her comfortable for some time, and I’m go-ing-well, never mind. I’d do It over again. I tell you, Dalton, for a woman you’re fond of—but what’s the use of talking to you? Might as well talk to a Latin grammar.” Dalton contemplated his cheese and withered pears and thin coffee resignedly. "If I didn’t have to eat,” he said, Td be all right I want few things, God knows.” ' “I,” said Holloway under his breetty “want only one.”—New York Advsr-' tlser. j

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

The Jamestown Exposition. The Jamestown ' exposition, which commemorates the settlement of Virginia by the English, differs from its predecessors In that it has been designed with a view to permanency. In thia respect It will doubtless be followed by other cities that have expositions in prospect. When it was decided to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of the first English speaking settlement in America, the promoters of

HABRY ST. GEORGE TUCKER.

the plan bought the land and formed an exposition company. Improvements of a permanent character were at once begun, even before the holding of the exposition was assured. The exposition grounds are not situated at the scene of the original settlement, as that was Impossible. They are located on the shore of Hampton Roads, near the mouth of the James river, about twenty-two miles below the site of old Jamestown and six miles from Norfolk.

Harry St. George Tucker, who succeeded the late General Fitz-Hugh Lee as president of the exposition, is a representative Virginian and well equipped for the work in which he is now engaged. He represented bls district In congress from 1889 to 1897 and was one of the most Influential southern Democrats In the house of representatives. He has been dean of the law 'school at Washington-and Lee university, Lexington, Va., also dean of the law school of the George Washington university, Washington. Didn’t Use Them. When Winston Churchill was running for governor of New Hampshire last fall, some of his adherents in different localities suggested to Judge Bemick, his manager, that buttons with a p|cture of Mr. Churchill and an appropriate motto would be a valuable campaign agency. Judge Remick thereupon wired Mr. Churchill, “Have you no buttons for your supporters?” Back came the answer, “No; we use safety pins.”

His Pronunciation. Senator Teller of Colorado insists upon calling our protected infant republic “Cuby.” “I guess I ought to know,” explains the Colorado senator when exception is taken to his pronunciation. “I was raised in Cuby, New York, and got my pronunciation first hand.” Jack* London’s Cruise. Jack London, the famous author, who has just started from San Francisco on a six years’ cruise around the world, Is making the trip in a small yacht, the Snark. The vessel Is fortyfive feet long, ketch rigged, and Its occupants, besides London and his wife, are Herbert S. Stoltz, a Stanford graduate and athlete; Roscoe Fames, captain; Martin Johnson, cook, and Hileshisa Tochigl, cabin boy. London’s

FOR THE CHILDREN

Learn to Play Proverbs. This is an interesting game and can be played by a large number at the same time. One person is sent out of the room while the others choose a proverb. This is distributed, a word being given to each person around the circle. When this is done the “guesser” is called in and asks each person separately a question. In the answer, no matter what question is asked, the one word of the proverb must be used.

There is more fun If the answers are given quickly without any accent on the special word. It often happens that the “guesser” has to try several times before succeeding. The one who by giving a bad answer gives the clew must become the “guesser” and is then obliged to go out of the room while another proverb is chosen. Here are a proverbs from which to choose: A bad workman quarrels with his tools. & A creaking door hangs long on the hinges. A drowning man will catch at a straw. After dinner sit awhile, after supper walk a mile. Catch the bear before you sell his skin. Empty vessels make the greatest sound. Charity begins at home, but it does not end there. A little leak will sink a great ship. A bird in the hand Is worth two In the bush.

Lizards Grow New Feet. The Tuatara lizard of New Zealand is said to be one of the most ancient forms of animal life now existing. It originally possessed four eyes, but now has to be contented with but two. It lays eggs, and these take no less than thirteen months to hatch, the embryos passing the winter in a state of hlbernatidto. These remarkable animals are found only in one or two places In the colony, and they are rapidly becoming scarce, as collectors from every part of the world are continually on their track. They are about eighteen Inches In length and, like many of the lizards, are said to have the characteristic of being able to replace portions of their limbs, etc., which have been destroyed. One owned by Carl Hanser of Awanul had the misfortune to lose an eye,some time ago, and now a complete new eye, as perfect as the undamaged one, has grown in the place of that destroyed.

Speed of Ships. As boys and girls know, sailors reckon their ship’s speed by “knots” of the log line, each knot representing one nautical mile. A nautical or geographical mile is one-sixtieth of a degree Of latitude or about 6,075 feet while an ordinary mile is 5,280 feet. The nautical mile, therefore, is equivalent to one ordinary mile and one-seventh, or, to be exaSt, to 1.158. To say that a ship Is sailing ten knots means that she is sailing ten nautical miles an hour. We should not say “ten knots an hour,” for the word knot means “one mile an hour.” As each nautical mile is 1.153 ordinary miles, a ship’s speed at ten knots is 11.53 ordinary miles an hour. The Colt’s Deformity. Little Roger had gone into the country for the first time, and his grahdfa ther had taken him out to see a colt. “There, Roger,” said the old gentleman, “did you ever see such a little horse as that?” Roger never had, and his eyes shone, but there was one drawback. > “What’s the matter with him, grandfather?” he said. “He hasn’t any rockers.”
