From the Door
Every man and woman should repel disease-wolves which are

biliousness, indigestion, nervous headaches, sleeplessness and
other little ailments, at first so trivial as to appear almost harm
less. Disperse them now , and drive them from your door with

will harm the whole body unless you rid yourself ot them at once. -
When your digestion is upset, when the bowels do not act
freely, when the head is heavy, the sleep troubled, the liver out
of order—disease is at the door. f
Be wisein time. Take Bcecham’s Pills immediately. Porthese

Bonnie Scotch Lassie and Filipino
Wed Alter Flight Across the Ocean
BAN FRANCISCO. Cal-. July 20—A |
girlish frolic', u secret correspond
ence, a courtship spanning 'he briny
deep, and a flight ucross an ‘Kean and
u continent culminated in this city a
few days ago in the marriage of Miss
Ella Mac lean, a fair yo mg Scottish
girl, to EHjto Villafranca. a swurtcy
Filipino.
The 1/ride, the daughter of Dr. An
gus Maclean, of Glasgow, a fellow of
the Royal College of Burgeons, and
until recently a professor in the l’ni
verslty of Edinburgh, has held a cov
eted position in Glasgow society cir
cles.
In his own land Ylllatranca's family
is of equally high standing, his fathei
being judge of the court of first in
stance at Cavite.
Years ago the two fathers chanced
to meet while Villafranca Sr. was
traveling In Scotland, and later a cor
respondence sprang up between them.
One day the doctor had occasion to
write to Villafranca Jr. on a matter
pertaining to the latter’s education,
but feeling HI. asked his daughter to
write at his dictation.
In a spirit of girlish frolic she add
ed a short postscript of her owfi for
the youth. That was the beginning.
The romantic youth replied personally
to the girl. The secret correspond
ence ripened into a courtship by mail,
photographs were exchanged and soon
Miss Ella seut her ”yca” flying over
the ocean.
A few weeks later Young Villafran
ca’s father sent him to Ban Francisco
on business. The girl begged to be
allowed to visit an aunt In Illinois, and
the indulgent father Anally consented.
Once Miss Ella’s foot was on Am
erican soil she took the train direct
to San Francisco, where the wedding
took place.
And now the newly-weds are won
dering what form the doctor s anger
will take when he hears the news.

doubtfully. Suddenly a helpless ex-,
pression appeared on the Judges face..
He seized a telephone. The couple
stood hand in hand, wuited and heurd: ,
"Give uie the prouate Judge. Hello; |
this is Judge Thompson, tfay, what
do you say when you marry a couple?

Blaze on Second Floor of Flat Building ,
Causes Occupants To Dash for
th« Open.
GRAND RAPIDS. July 20.—Klrr.on-j
as and dressing gowns that were made j
for house wear in the Wellington flata
were seen on the streets this morning.
The wearers were frightened; they
had not stopped to arrange hair nor
to exchange slippers for shoes.
There was a fire scare in the flats
about 9 o'clock this morning. Ilonce j
the exodus. .
The little blaze started In apa:t-1
n.eut 2hß, occupied by Mrs. C. E. Ling.
This is on the second floor, Soon
the smoke permeated the entire build j
iug.
• Fire!" someone yelled.
Then the scramble began. There
were few men in the bulldiug. but tho
women made up for the lack of males. j
They swarmed everywhere —and they j
didn't care how they came.
Some motherly looking women car
ri. and bird cages which held pampered
canaries; some had arms full of bed*
ding, some carried clothing. All ex
cept the most frightened carried
something, but no one stopped to make
ti chunge of garments, forgettiug that
usually they dressed up for the street.
These early ones went down the ele
vators or skipped down the stairs,
Those who waited until the firemen
came went down the flre escape in
the alley at the rear, assisted by the ,
gallant fire fighters.
There was some wringing of hands
by the occupants when they saw the
smoke pour from the windows in great
clouds. There was more when a little
stream of water trickled down to the
ground floor and threatened to dam
age some personal property. There
were some complaints of broken beau
ty B ieep—but there wasn't much fire
damage.
Thai the flre department is atr
of a blaze in the Wellington flats was
shown by the way apparatus was bur- j
ried to the building. Steamers and ,
hose wagons came from every part of J
the city. The big water tower was
raised against the Fulton-st. front and
ready to be used for saving life should
it be necessary. But it wasn't. The
scare was over almost before it began ,
and the Wellington flats, except for
.slight damage, has resumed its wont
ed calm.
WHISKY*"WAS EXPENSIVE.
