A Walter’s Prowl Distinction. 7” To a waiter belongs the proud distinction of uttering what is probably the most ungrammatical sentence over evolved from the brain of illiterate man. One afternoon an old man .took his seat at the table and gave his usual order to a new and rather ease-hardened knight • of the napkin. “Waiter,” he piped, as the dishes were slammed down before him, “this beef isn’t sufficiently underdone.” With a smile of contempt the servitor bore the viands back to the kit hen window and returned a moment later, without having cl anged them. “I’m sorry, sir,” he said; “we ain’t got no beef what’s no underdoner.”— Tit-Bits.

and bonny eyes come with restful slumber, and she needed all for the grave celebra’ion and gay festivities of the ' | nation’s natal day. “Go, seek him. gentle winds so free, ' and Liss his smiling eyes for me!” she j murmured softly, with a last glance over , । the trees toward the home of h/mdsome ’ j Percy Grey, her escort from the evening I concert, her prime favorite among tho i beaux of Lakeville. I Not that Percy was either an avowed • |or accepted lover. No; popular gossip I awarded Hansom Clarke prece'dence in I the race for the love and fortune of the village belle. With a memory of Percy’s > gentle adieu at the garden gate, how- < ever, of her a ceptance of hie company for the Fourth, of his fond plea for the Lit of blue ribion at her bonny throat, the fair young girl blushed hotly as she wafted a kiss toward his home.

Oh, had it come to this—had her telltale face told Percy that she would be sitting alone at midnight thinking of him? Blue! Why, that washer "favorite color” —the hue of the bright bit of ribbon the gallant Percy wore on his lapel, a souvenir, a guerdon, blue as her winsome eyes, true as his loyal heart! She lov'd, was love! in turn! With a sob of half shame, half delight, Eunice Alden buried her happy face in her snowy pillow and dreamed of the love that was born, nurtured, and bloomed on that joyous eve of tho I Fourth of July, | Noon at the grove, high neon, and • ! State Senator Joshua Newcomb deep in i the sr-read-eagle peroration on patriotI ism that was “the effort of his life;” ■ good-natured, applauding auditors on | every side; Selectman Smith, big, pomI pous and perspiring, in the chairman’s i scat; free lemonade, bunting galore, merriment, pop and peanuts, and everybody bubbling over with love of country and happiness —except Euniire. Poo/ Eunice! Tho duy had dawned with her heart beating rapidly, and here, ; half gone, all the glamour, joy and hope of love seemed dashed out cruelly from her sunny life. True-blue had turned I to perfidious black, and, as the hours went by, anxiety gave place to humiliation, and this to despair. Her chosen escort had not called at tho house, as promised. She proceeded to the grove. He was not there. V hat did it mean’ An affront? Her heart beat painfully. Pride roused her from apathy. Jealous eyes should never see her secret! She had but to choose her company, and midday found her on the arm of a man she secretly despised, with all his wealth and assumption— Ransom Clarke—gay, to all outward seeming, as the gayest, yet at soul a I canker preyed. “I have not seen Mr. Gray here toI day," she ventured to remark, finally. The keen-eyed, sleek-faced man at

! her side gazed at her with a sinister I glance. “No,” he replied. “Percy evidently prefers the city glare and the city belles to homo attractions. Ho went there with a.party from the tavern early this morning. ” ‘ How do you know?”—sharp, pained, torturing tho query. “I saw him. They were c lobrating as I passed the tavern. They kept the landlord and his wife and daughter busy opening the bottles of wine. Why! they even toasted the girl in merry song, and Percy pinned a blue ribbon to her shoulder and proclaimed her queen of loro m wf A \ / FT ,W\ L*A / Mbni Id “see! there is the laxulord’s DAUOHTER.

Dazzling iu gaudy array, oustentatious, loud-voiced, tho girl in question passed then; just then, and on her shoulder was tiro se.f-samc Lit of blue ribbon Eunice had given the man sho lov* d. It was three miles to the town from the grove. A storm drove tho celebrants homo by train at< usk. As they stepped aboard tho cars, a gloating smile oveispre d Ransom Clarke's sinister face. He had played his cards well; he had pressed ih<- golden opportunity. I'iqued nl Percy Cr. y’s re< mlng pcrlldy, reck-ie-s of all save pride and humiliation, heart-broken Eunice Alden had promised ,1o Im tin' wife of Ranso n Clarke!

Triumph; m was his pio fid heart, black uas that evil heart, too, for, at that very moment, the rival he hud cheated was in mortal peril of his life, ' The storm had passed, but fitful gusts wind and sputtirs of rain swept the car windows its first mire homeward bound. Eunice Alden shrank from the gloat-ing-faced, familiar companion whom sho had accepted in a moment of foolish pique. Su Idonly there was a sharp shriek o; i the whlstie of the locomotive, the wheels ground over a thunderous trestle-work,a great blue fare of light flashed up, Hashed down, and, with a L rrifle jar, the train came to a stop. Heu were hurled from 'their seats, women shrieked and fainUsl, people crowds 1 to the platforms. “ What has happened?” “An accident—a collision!" tono'cTto ffio’bront of th<> train. A shud<Lt permeated every h<aut as th«-y suw in the glare of t ie headlight two freight cars, one clos’ d, one gondola load»»d loa led with heavy rails, and standing ■ directly across the tracks. “A narrow escape," chuitered the conductor. “A sorry fourth of July if the locomotive had ever struck those cars." “But h<>w came they across tho switch?” queried an agitated voice. “Dunno, only whoever” signaled danger at the trestle saved all your lives," I sang out the fireman from the cab. “ les,” chimed in the engineer, “I saw I a bright bine flare, a wild figure, and— ; I’m afeard we rim him down.” “No!” cried the conductor, as train- | hands approuehe 1 with lanterns —“see! , they’ve got someone with them." “Hurrah!” cried one of the newcom- ! ere. “Here he is—the hero who sig- ; naled us. lio dropped to the creek as • the < ngino went by." “Him!” gasped Ransom Clarke, turn- | ing deathly white. “Con e, Eunice, wo • —we will not remain here ” “Yes, I shall! Oh! what does this mean?” What, indeed; for, pale, with disor- ■ dered apparel, grimed, wild-eyed, the ' hero of the trestle was—her recreant lover. “Percy—Percy Grey!" cried a score of voices, “xou saved the train!" and fervent hands grasped his own, and women blessed him lor his bravery. “Yes, I signaled the train,” spoke Percy Grey, in hoarsej excited tones, “but tho person who is so nearly responsible for death, ruin, and disaster i is—yonder scoundrel!" He fixed his burning glance on Ransom Ciarke. The latter sin ank like a craven.

“Y’es, Eunice; leave that man’s side. A villain!—« ” “Hold! Do you dare insult my aflianced wife?” blustered Clarke. “Your affianced wife? Oh! I see it all now! You pcltroi n —ybu coward!" With a spring, Percy Grey gained the side of Clarke. He caught him by the throat. Holding him firmly, headdressed the wondering crowd. “This miscreant, my pretended friend, won my confidence early this mcrumg, ‘ spoke Percy. “All the time ho plotted to rob me of the love of the woman who rules my heart. He drugged a glass of lemonade I drank with him, robbed me of a memento —a blue ribbon—carried me to that close freight car, and locked mo in, insensible.” An angry roar escaped the throng. “There,'.n a stupor, I lay till an hour since. The wind blew these cars across vhe track. In agony, I worked at the locked door. I gained freedom, to hear this train rushing on to destruction. The trestle! a match! a box of blue fire In my pocket! You poltroon! AJ hat have you to say?” “I did it —but—not to imperil life!" chattered the terrified culprit. “Helpl Don’t murder me!” He had broken free, to be pursued bj blows and missiles. Bleeding, wretched, he was lost in the darkness, and, thenceforth, to Lakeville. “My darling!” And I doubted you!* sobtied Eunice, as she kissed her real lover adieu at the gate that night. The last faint echoes of the Fourth of July were dying away In hill and dale—the p!a ’hi stars.shone forth. “But never can again,” murmured Percy, tenderly. “See; the clouds have rolled away—heaven’s true blue looks down upon us, and love has won its i happit st reward on this joyful, glorious Fourth of July.”

HE MADE AN IMPRESSION, But It Was Not the Kind He Had Anticipated. “Ila, ha!’’ chuckled Codling to himself. “T here are those two delicious Gorham girls about to get aboard that car. I’ll just hurry to the next corner and board it as it passes. > Then they won't simpect that I’ve followed them. It’s a lovely chance to make a good impression.” Codling swung bravely on the real plat form as the car passed his street, and was entering with a sweet smile on his countenance, prepared to bow to the girls, when lie trod on the toe of an old gentleman who sat near the door reading a newspaper. This passenger looked up, and Codling murmured, apologetically, “Beg your pardon, sir.” “Hey?” “I beg your pardon,” repeated Codling, raising his voice to a pitch which attracted the attention of everybody in ihe car. “Speak louder: I’m a trifle deaf,” said the old gentleman. “I said I beg your pardon,” shouted Codling, while the unfeeling Gorham girl - tittered. “You said Peggy was starving, did you?” rep’led the deaf old gentleman. Well. I’m sorry for that: but I don't know I’egfy. Is she vour wife 9 ” Codling had got very red in the face; but he made another attempt, with hi - voice at an EitTel tower elevation: “You misunderstood me, sir.” “Hey?” “You misundorstoo IT yelled Codling, while the car laughed and the Goilcim girls tittcnsl. “Sl.cs ?.|is; Underwood, is she? Oh yes: I see. Peggy, who is starving, is Mi -s Underwood. Yes. I understand now: l.ut still 1 don't see why you a:e telling in? about JIT Undeiwu- si.’'

Some fifty years ago a very high English official died in a fortress at a place that is one of the centers of Brahmanic orthodoxy, and at the moment when the news of his death reached the sepov guard at the main gate, a black cat rushed out of it. The guard presented arms to the cat as a salute to the Hying spirit of the powerful Englishman: and the coincidence took such a ti:m hold of the locality that up to w.Uiin a few years ago neither exiioitation imr orders lould prevent, a Hindu sentry at that gate from presenting arms to any cat that passed out at night.

All Aboard! Make haste. Your baggage Is all right, but have you got a supply of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters? No! Then you have made a sad omission, and if you are troubled with stomachic qualms en route —if you are sea sick, my dear sir, or madam, you will have deserved yowt fate. How dreadfully the waves or the jarring of the engine or screws shake you up! Now there is a mute but awful call to the ship’s side. Now, if you had the Bitters along with you this wouldn’t happen. Travelers and tourists, taks our advice, and before you start on your yachting or ocean voyage, your coastwise trip or Inland outing, obtain the Bitters, and thus fortify yourselves against stomachic difficulties, malaria, dyspepsia, and the effects of exposure in rough weather or bad diet or water. Take it, too, for biliousness, kidney trouble, and rheumatism. Running Righty Miles In'Seven Hou s. If the sun had smiled on the bicyclers who brought that precious package from Chicago they would have made better time than the runners of the King of Dahomey, who indulges in a similar amusement, though he has no bicycles in his country. It has been the practice of his majesty, when expecting something of no great wei ’.t from European steamers, to line the road between Abomey, his capital, and the port of Whydah with soldiers stationed a few hundred yards apart. The distance is nearly eighty miles, and on one occasion at least presents lor the king passing from one to another of these fleet soldiers were in Abomey seven hours after they left Whydah.

An Infallible Remedy. XII Beixvillb, lIL, Nov. 'BB. lam 27 years of ago now; since I was 16 years old I was a sufferer of epilepsy. In Germany I was treated by one of the best physicians for five years, but no relief. I then came to America and here I tried many so-called cures for that terrible disease, but I was so disappointed that I gave up all hopes of ever getting rid of it, bo?»U9o I di<in t ever get relief. But after all I was soon convinced that there is a real remedy, vhieh really cures epilepsy. In the month it April 1 commenced to take Pastor Koenig's Verve Tonic, the effect of whiefi was so marvel>us that only onc<ysince then the fits returned, •nt now five i inths have elapsed and not a lymptom of the disease showed itself. I am, iherefore, convinced that the Nerve Tonic is a real cure for epilepsy and shall always hold it in grateful remembrance. A.

Persons, while perspiring, expose themselves to draughts, and before they realize it they become chilled. The pores of the skin close, and the waste matter that the skin has been throwing off is retained in the blood, and the kidneys and lungs are forced to take care of it The result is that they often break down. In ail such cases take Reid’s German Cough and Kidney Cuke. This will arouse the kidneys to action, stimulate the circulation, and thus open the pores of the skin. As soon as this i 3 load and the system is restored to a condition of ’V’hia gre remedy contains no opiate or othei poison, but it is the best thing for 'il throat complaints, and for any malady that attacks the lungs or kidneys. that was ever offered to the public.
