Lewis.] After supper Mr. Gallup had gone over to the store for a whetstone and a paper of. carpet tacks, and as he went Mrsl Gallup was "washing up the dishes 1 and singing "The Home Over There" ! with ? great feeling. .\u25a0\u25a0; He , returned in half an hour, and as he . reached . the kitchen door the sound of sobbing met \u25a0 his " ears: ;He looked in ; to ' find ; Mrs. Gallup weaving back aud forth on a chair. with her check apron at her eyes. Something . had happened. He didn't Inquire what it was, but turned about and sat on the doorstep and in an ab- sent way began sharponlus a sickle with the stone. he had bought. It was five minutes before Mrs. Gallup volun- teered an explanation. When she saw that he had neither anxiety nor sym- pathy, she hitched her chair Into tlie doorway, used a fresh . spot on the apron to wipe her eyes and finally said: "Samuel, when you've got that sickle sharpened you might go over to Mrs. Bebee's and tell her that I shall be a dead woman before tomorrer.

So the man with "the old familiar face,", although he was not an old man by any means, went back to'TMe Trib- une on his own terms. — Youth's Com- panion. • "I know him," he said, "and I want a familiar face In that room. I want some one who Isn't a stranger to me. Telegraph him that Medill wants him." j-lf^ss explained that the man had an excellent place in Boston and proba- bly would not care to come back, but Mr. Medill persisted that he wanted him. "v;-. "Well, I want him," said Mr. Medill. One day he suddenly, inquired what had become of the old night editor. "He's In Boston," was the reply. | \u25a0 An employee of the Chicago Tribune once found the fact that his face was familiar to the late Joseph Medlll de- cidedly, to Ils advantage. In the last years of his life Mr. ; Medill did not spend much time in Chicago and took no active part in the management of his paper, but when he was in the city he went to his office pretty regularly.' ; He knew all the old faces, but few of the new ones, and It was too late Inlife for him to accustom himself to them. He never knew to whom to give "copy" that he wished printed If the managing editor happened to be absent. On one occasion he handed some to a repre- sentative of another paper who chanc- ed to be In the building.' J The man had been employed on The Tribune some years previously, so : his face was fa- miliar to Mr. Medill, while the faces of the | men then actually, In j his employ were not. ..

At that time but five of the 26 states had . their elections In November. : In Michigan and Mississippi voting was carried on through two days— the first Monday and the following Tuesday. New York had three election days— the first Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day—but had finally confined voting to the middle day, or the first Tuesday after the first Monday. Massachusetts chose state officers on the second Mon- day In November and Delaware on the second Tuesday. So congress selected the first Tuesday after the first Mon- day to consult the convenience of three states out of five, one of the three be- ing the Important state of New York.— Chicago Tribune. ' - When Harrison was elected in 1840, the Democrats asserted ' that his suc- cess was due partly to fraudulent vot- ing, which was made possible by the lack of a definite election day.' It was alleged that Kentucky and Ohio Whigs had voted in both states, the election being held on' different days. So in 1845 the Democrats passed the law now on the statute books making the first Tuesday after the first Monday election day: vf.Tv* 7 "" j The designation of the day for"hold- ing the presidential election Is left to congress. The first act passed by it re- lating to that subject was In 1702. It provided that presidential \u25a0 electors should j be appointed "within -84 days before the first ; Wednesday In Decem- ber.". This left each state free to select a day to suit itself within those limits. Pennsylvania chose electors on the last Friday In October. Other states elect- ed theirs on different days between the beginning and middle of November. Ftrat Monday In November.

A French commercial traveler, was expecting a large order from a country tradesman, but had the misfortune to arrive in the town on a fete day. \u25a0 Find- Ing the shop closed, be Inquired as to the whereabouts of the proprietor and ascertaining that he was attending the fete, about a mile out of town, set out after him. When' he arrived there, a balloon was on. the point of ascending, and he saw his man stepping into the car. Plucking up courage he stepped forward,' paid his money and was al- lowed to take his seat with' the other aeronauts. Away went the' balloon, and It was not until the little party was well above the tree tops that the "commercial" .turned toward his cus- tomer wltb the first remark of .'.'And now, sir, what can I do for you in calicoes?" Following Up Hi*Customer. She rose up with a sob and retreated into the house, but Mr. Gallup knew nothing of it. He hung the sickle on a nail near the door, put the whetstone and tacks on a shelf In the wood shed, and then walked down the path and closed ; the - henhouse door and cast a look into the pig pen. When he re- turned to the house. Mrs. Gallup was looking at her bowl of emptyings under the stove and humming the air of "I Want to Be an Angel." She had had her lamentation and got over it and It would be three or four days before she would break out again. M. Quad. "It's only this. Samuel.'

Samuel, and now I'U go In and die, and yov kin be lookln around fur your second wife!" ,:;',-; The lump In her throat and the |ears In her eyes checked her speech for lialf a minute, and during that time Mr. Gallup put the tacks down and lifted up the sickle again. The remembrance that there ha(i been no shoulder patting or ear pulling, during all those long years brought : a fresh outburst of emotion, and* for two 'minutes' Mrs. Gallup sobbed bitterly. Mr. Gallup laid down the whetstone and the sickle and picked up the paper of tacks and balanced it on the point of his finger, but he was oblivious of his surroundings. . \u25a0 . "I— l don't complain, Samuel" said Mrs. Gallup when she could control her voice again. : "When I saw that yon j was no hand to pet, I let it go. .I'm old arid wrinkled and scrawny, and I can't look . fur pettin.

It was the first time he had commit- ted himself on the subject of "tunes," and his glory began to diminish from that moment, for his daughter told the Incident as what she considered an ex- cellent Joke. .A glance disclosed the fact that he had bribed three street musicians, two violinists and a harpist Into "giving him a private recital. They finished Jhe air just as the young woman enter- ed, 'and the physician turned to her with a beaming face. "That 'Nearer, My God, to Me,' Is a beautiful thing. Isn't It T" he asked. "Father's at It again," she said to herself softly. "I wonder who he has coerced lnjto playing for him now?" The other evening as his daughter approached the house In which this: physician lived she heard the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," proceeding from the library. It was therefore believed that he had a fine taste for harmony, and.his.repu- tation as a critic was established and grew apnee as reputations will, good or bpd. There's a physician in Baltimore who adores music. His taste, to be sure, runs rather to "Old Black Joe," "Su- wannee River" and such classics, but still any sort of music will do, and he listens to it all ecstatically and with a properly Intelligent look on his face. A Pbyalclan Whose Reputation an a Critic Was Blaatefl. Herolo Treatment. In Guiana If a child Is slow In its movements the parents apply an ant to the child Instead of a whip to make it move faster. This little ant bites more cruelly than a mosquito, and Its bite Is apt to be troublesome afterward. As you can imagine, this treatment does not make the child kind to others, and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to animals. The lit- tle boys In Guinea do not reckon their age by years, but by their ability to en- flure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Hucn ant bite him without wincing he Is considered mere- lya baby. At a dinner party a young man was pricp talking rather foolishly about Parwin and his books, and he said to the bishop of Winchester (Wllberforce), i'Uylord, have you read. Darwin's last book on the 'Descent of Man?' " "Yes, I have," said the bishop, whereupon the young man continued: "What non- sense it is talking of our being de- scended from apesl Besides, I can't see the use of such stuff. I can't see what difference It would make to me If my grandfather was an ape.;' ' \u25a0 •• ': "No,* the b'ishdp v repllect;'^l don^t see that it would.

"And the next week's accounts were even worse. The Courier got straight from their own private high source that this guy Speed was even better than the week before. He T^as now so super «t the game that he not only ran down behind the plate and caught the i>alls that he pitched, but In case the flatter knocked a fly Ije darted out In the field and caught it himself. The Roarers had, according to The Courier, released their whole outfield. When We read that, Bull Thompson wanted to Cancel the game, but the Slugger wouldn't hear of It 'The Lightfoot Lilies,' he said, 'may be made to look like tarheel thistles, but we won't wither before we're picked.' "When the big game finally djd cp,me off, $c Ro.arers certa.ln,ly had us on' the . for three Innings they piled up runs almost at w^. But then we be- gain to get wise. Where was this fast running phenom? Cy Priest was still \n the pitcher's box, and the whole out- field seemed to be Intheir usual places. Perhaps he was sick. The thought gave us courage, and we began to pick up a bit. You all know how we finally pulled the game out of the fire in the fast half of the tenth. That's a mat- ter of history now. Well, after It was ever the Slugger went up to Cy Priest I! (The wonderful baseball feat per- formed by Steve Speed,' the article said, 'which was published exclusively by The Jones County Courier, has been eclipsed by an even more astonishing performance by the same player. We pare It from the same high source from which we obtained our former news that Speed has. now become so .proQ- clent In running that he Is able to pitch the ball from the box and by an incredibly quick start reach the plate |n time to catch the ball behind the bat.

In the morning the boys would all go down to the station and race the trains as they steamed out of town. After- noons they'd ease up a bjt and just in- jlu,lge in short sprints paced by the town troller car. At night the daily practice would conclude with a brisk cross country run around the town- ship. The work began to show. A| the end of the week we began to have pome hopes of beating the Roarers aft- er all. And then came a. second copy of The Courier knocking pur hopes higher than tnxes. " 'Boys,' said the Slugger, crumpling the paper savagely In his fists, 'to Lily park, with you. Practice begins at once. Hustle!' "The fastest base runner I ever saw," said the fat ex-mascot of the Lightfoot Lilies In comparing baseball of the present with that of the old days, "was little Sammie Salmon of the Lilies. But the fastest base runner I ever heard of was,' or wasn't, as the case may have been,' Steve Speed, who played, or who didn't play, I don't know which, with the Ringtail Roarers. At any rate, whether he ever played with the Roar- ers or not. he was certainly the fastest that ever came ' over the ' crossways. You don't understand? Well, I'll tell you all about him. B : . ... "One afternoon about a month before the last game wo evfer played with the Ringtail Roarers the boys were all sit- ting round in the postofflce discussing" our chances for the big contest. Cap- tain Slugger Burrows, who was tend- ing postoffiee that day, was over in the corner reading the ball news In a Jones County Courier that had accidentally slipped Its wrapper before delivery. Suddenly he clutched the paper tight- ly and sprang to his'feet. For heaven's sake, boys, listen to this: *We have it from a. high source,' he began to read breathlessly, 'that the Roarers have unearthed a phenomenal base runner, with services they feel confident of wresting . the \u25a0 Jones county laurels from the' erstwhile Invincible Lightfoot Lilies. The newcomer's name is Steve Speed. His extraordinary ability was first discovered while he was in the box one day last week. He stopped an easy grounder |and tossed It over to first to catch the runner. The ball had no sooner left his hand than, to his hor- ror, he discovered that first was uncov- ered. Without a moment's hesitation he made a dive for the bag and suc- ceeded In reaching it just In time to catch the ball that he had thrown but an instant before, thereby scoring a put out and an assist unassisted.'- Get Behind the Plate In Ttm» lo Catch Hla Own Pitching.

' The girl answered calmly, "I can find ft." and. the Ohinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves un- til 6he came to one that had an entry crossed out with another in tiny char- acters under it, she handed it to the Chinaman. "There It Is," and., to. his surprise, he found I^. "You only lady J know spik CW* nese," he said. And the other girls looked upon her with admiration.— Kansas Olty World. A young woman at a watering place one summer made a reputation. as"a profound linguist in a^ratlier odd man- ner. She called one day at a Chinese laundry where she had left a shirt waist, bvi{ \\ could not be found, as there was no entry In the book of hiero- glyphs corresponding to her pink slip. After a half hour's search the China- man found the entry.; A mistake had been made, so the entry was crossed out and a new set of hieroglyphs In tiny characters placed below. - She was told tliat the waist would be laundered Immediately, ancj she could get it the next day. Her Knowledge of Cblneae This operation has been felicitously called "blood washing," for this is what it really Is, and to the process hu- " inanity owes the saving of many lives. —Youth's Companion, This Is done not only to supply an equivalent for fluid lost In hemorrhage or cholera, but also In certain diseases In which blood poisoning exists. In this latter case a large a.mounT offluid Is injected slowly, and being taken UP by the blood Is almost Immediately excreted through the kjfljipy?, carrying with' it much pi the poison which the blood was unable to rid itself of un- aided, a ' Often itis not even necessary to pour the fluid into a vein, but simply to In- ject It through one or more hollow needles Into the tissues beneath the skin of the abdomen or the thigh.' . It Is found that the blood, when de- flbrinated is no' longer a living fluid, and the corpuscles It contains serve no useful purpose when Injected, but rath- er act as foreign matter which must be got ridof. Accordingly physicians now use distilled water in which a definite proportion of common salt and other chlorides have been dissolved. This sq- lution Is.warmed and Is Injected slow- ly Into a vein at the bend of the elbow, about a quart being used. Transfusion of blood Is a procedure that must have been employed by phy- sicians in very early times. Ovid tells of Medea bringing back youth to the aged by the Injection into their veins of the blood of young men, and doubt- less the same means was employed by physicians for less fantastic objects. The Injection of the blood of one per- son Into the veins of another was until recently done to save life. after severe hemorrhage and in various forms of blood poisoning. Sqmetlmes a direct communication .was made between the veins of the donor and of the recipient by means of a tube. At other times the healthy subject was bled Into a bowl and the blood was beaten to' remove the fibrin before It was passed into the blood vessels of the patlen{.

A FAST BALL PLAYER ovvl vl<% n¥Jfoj Women can keep secrets, pTHMnvj ' They often keep secret for KJ(C.\^aS a long time the fact that •lU/^j^SI they are suffering from 'v/S\)»il drains, inflammation, nicer- nJ'vJLxVA ation, or female weakness. . v jwl0^flUTl But they can't keep th,e m* kQzJUSs\ cret very long, because the CyfTrjUj hollow eyes,' cheeks that 7\.Aj>*£yJl have lost their freshness, and j£y|vy£Jn the irritability which comes Jr4rrTjZ\| from sorely tried nerves, all Cj-fSv conspire to publish the sto- Q^VfTj ry of suffering. The usual rr^ci^Sl motive for such secrecy, * *ir£ dread of indelicate questions and offen- • sive examinations, is removed by Dr. Pierce's methods. Diseases of the wom- anly organs are perfectly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Sick women can consult Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., by letter free. . "Your wonderful medicine, 'Favorite Pre- scription,'" writes Mrs. C. N.Anderson, of Rock- bridge Baths, Rockbridge Co., Yo , "is a God- ftenato weak and sickly women, restoring good bcaltb without subjecting their weak nerves to (he shock of an examination. I was all run down in health; could not work but a short time without resting. Was very nervous and had a very poor appetite, / decided to write to Dr. Piet.t and slate my case, and am thankful that I did, for I received a favorable reply. I took six bottles of ' Favorite Prescription,' one of ' Gold- en Medical Discovery," and one vialof "Pellets,* and I can now work as well as I could before I was taken sick. I think Dr. Pierce's medicine the best in the world for sick and nervous women.
