The Point of the Pistol
Is an effectual persuader, and there are
many persons so unmindful of the symp
toms of on coming disease that it wonld
almost take that deadly argument to in
duce them to adopt precautionary meas
ures. The best of these is a recourse to
that botanic restorer, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. It vanquishes malaria, rheumat
ism, kidney and bladder trouble, bailing
digestion, biliousness and irregularity of
the bowels, and completely fortifies the
system against their further inroads. Its
ingredients ar , drawn from nature's
storehouse, consequently it is free from
the objections attaching to many ab
solutely or semi-mineral remedies. For
the delicate, infirm, convalescent and
elderly it is peculiarly benefioial. It well
merits continuous and systematic use.
Take it at bed time to induce Bleep, and
between meals to 'stimulate appetite and

HELEN'S HAT.
Helen and I had n bet of a hat the other
day, and she won. At that time I thought
from looking at thorn that the price of la
dles' hats could not run to more than 5
shillings, but this is a complete mistake.
The cost of ladles' lints varies according
to what is not on them that is to say,
half a sovereign extra is charged for tak
ing out the feather and a guinea extra for
taking out what a man would call a hat
and leaving only one bow and ribbon. As
almost nothing is the fashion now, bats
are unusually dear this season.
To pay for a lady's hat, however, is,
after all, a small matter. The difficulty
is to go into a shop in cold blood and buy
one. That is what I had to do, according
to the conditions of the bet, and I was al
lowed to take no one with me. Helen said
that if I could not pick out a hat that
would suit bor it was plain that I did not
really love her, and she coldly stared
when I asked permission to take another
man with me, not to help to purchase,
but to stand by while I said sternly to the
salesman, "I want a lady's hat"
There is a milliner's store next to my
tobacconist's, and I thought I oould slip
into it as if by mistake. Just as I was
about to do so, however, the tobacconist
came to his door, and so I had to buy a
box of cabonas instead. I was very angry
with tho man and have given him up ever
since then.
My original intention had been to go
into a milliner's shop and bribe them to
tell ine which was their best hat for a
pretty girl with brown hair, dancing eyes,
20 inches around tho waist, but Kavens
croft, who protended to know about hats
though it is quito cloar that he thinks
tho blggor they are the dearer said that
would not be sate. His advice was that I
should do a round of milliners' windows
on wot days, so that my umbrolla might
hide me. VVoodhouse, however, who has
two sisters and hearkens to them, said
this would bo foolish, as they only exhib
ited a variety of hats in the second rate
shops. Ho urged ine to walk boldly into
a shop and Insist on their giving me a
hat. Another friend, Hooper, said: "The
hat itsolf is of but little consequence. The
great point is that it should be dear. She
will forgive you for buying an unbecom
ing hat, but never for buying a cheap one. "
Then Trotter, who thinks himself clever,
said, "How can you buy her a hat when
you don't know her size?" This philoso
pher is 80 years old and has not discovered
yet that ludles' hats are worked with
pins.
Several days passed and I had all but
bought the hat many times. It was
strange and interesting to me to reflect, at
say 5 o'clock, that if I had entered the shop
at 4:30 the whole thing would be over
now. Once I die go into a milliner's shop
in Regent street, but I loft it without hav
ing bought the hat. This was because my
courage failed me, and instead of asking
for a hat I requested the boy who opened
the door to direct mo to Piocadllly circus.
If he had been a boy of average smartness,
ho would have read between the lines and
insisted on my taking a chair. I hurried
into a side street after this escape and pres
ently came to.
The place to buy ladies' hats, warranted
dear, is Bond street, but in no thorough
fare in London art there so many inquisi
tive people. Bond street can never expect
to do a great trade so long as the jewelers
and fish sellers, and even the sandwich
board men, stare impertinently at wayfar
ers. I was simply driven from a milliner's
door by a fish sollor, who kept looking aft
er me as if he thought I was afraid to face
him. Then there is a dressmaker's win:
dow, in which a woman in black stood all
day looking for mo. I soon discovered that
she knew I was honestly desirous of buying
a lady's bat, but she would not let mo. It
was impossible to go into a hat shop with
that woman ready to triumph over me. A
grocer's boy, too, passed mo twice within
ten minutes, lingering about in a most
Impertinently suspicious manner, which
to incensed me that I followed him to his
shop and complained to his master. There
was a curious look in the latter's eye, and
I oould not help fooling that he knew I
wanted to buy a lady's hat. With another
person, dressed like a gentleman, I had
quite a scene. I was just going into a shop
to buy the hat when he looked fixedly at
me. This confused me and turned me
from my purpose, but half an hour after
ward I was back at tho shop door. Again
he passed, with a look that told ine plain
ly that I was discovered. I lost my tem
per, and gripping my umbrella demanded
to know what he meant. He replied with
affected surprise, but I saw through him,
and said that I would stand there until a
policeman came to my aid. He answered
that as he wished to oonsult my conven
ience entirely he would not go away. So
he put his back to one window and I put
mine to another, and there we stood glar
ing at each other until 4 o'clock, -when a
mist came on, in which I walked softly
away.
When I was a mile from the shop, I saw
that the mist was my opportunity for buy
ing the hat, and at once hailed a hansom.
I got out at the top of New Bond street,
however, as it struck me that there was a
look of enlightenment In the cabby's face.
To blind him I walked a little way down
Oxford street and then turned baok. . Soon
I was at the Bbop I now knew so well from
the outside, and though my throat felt
dry I determined to buy that hat. I wait
ed until two ladies bad loft I had seen
them through the window and then en
tered, with my teeth set. "I want a la
dy's hat," I said, and I had a face on me
that showed I was resolved to stand no
laughing. The milliner had a twinkle in
ber eye, but ray fierceness put it out, and
J saw ber band shake as she brought soma
bats. I bought the dearest one, gave the
address to which it was to be sent and
then retreated, keeping my eyes on her
to the last moment. That woman was
afraid of me nearly as much as I was of
bet.

How to Stop a Bat.
"I was much impressed," says Mr. Qos
llngton, "by something that I saw in the
street this morning, the manner in which
man stopped his hat, which was blowing
away. It is well known that under such
otrcuinstanoet a hat often develops great
eooentrialty of movement When you
stoop down to put your hand on it as you
tun, it is not there. Bat this man ran
past and just to leeward of his hat and
topped it aa It rolled toward him." New

THAT ACCIDENT.
It Didn't Keep Her Out, So Far as Jack
Wat Concerned.
She lay on the sofa in her prettiest tea
gown, with the blinds carofully lowered,
and her dearest friend, rushing into tho
room, exclaimed:
"Oh, Effle, .I've just heard that you had
an accident the other day, and I came right
over to sympathize and heor all about it."
"Indeed, I had," she groaned. "I had
no Idea it hurt so badly just to fall off a
wheel. It was all Fan's fault too. "
' ' How did she manage it?"
"Well, it came about this way. You
know, Jack is a bicycle enthusiast, and I
knew if I wanted that is, if I cared to"
"Don't be bashful, dear. Those eyes
would be your excuse if his bank account
was not."
"Woll, I knew I must loom to ride one
of the horrid things, bo I asked him to
teach me. He was delighted, and then
Fan decided she must learn, too, and, of
course, politeness obliged him to offer to
teach her too. We each bought a wheel
and got a lovely bicycle suit. Mine is"
"Yes, yes. I'll see it later. Go on."
"I said nothing to any one, but I was
determined to got ahead of Miss Fan, so I
just took a few lessons on the sly. You
should have seen Jack's surprise when lie
took us out for the first time and found I
could ride right off, for, of course, I didn't
think it necessary to speak of the lessons."
"Of course not. Now, did Fan"
"Oh, Jess, if you could only have seen
hert She wabbled about and scrambled
and plunged and hold on to Jock until I
was actually ashamed of her. It was so
bold and unfeminlne. Poor Jack, he
couldn't get away for an Instant. I saw
then I'd made a great mistake."
"But didn't he praise your ability!1"
"Oh, yes. But praise doesn't amount to
much when it has to be shouted to you 15
feet away and Interrupted by screams and
clutches as his was."
"But wasn't it any better next tlmef "
"It was not, or the next, either. She
didn't make any effort to learn she just
played off those eyelashes and clung to
him and screamed, and I did not think he
displayed an unnecessary amount of pa
tience." "Why didn't you get her out to practice
alonof"
"I did try, but she wouldn't go said
sho'd nover dare to mount her whoel with
out Jack. Well, I knew I must do some
thing, so the next time we went out I just
went over a stone and fell. Ho loft Fan
quick enough then but I foil harder than
I meant to and sprained my wrist awfully.
"Oh, well, it wasn't so bad after all,
sluce Jack is a modloal student."
"I know. He brought mo home, ban
daged my wrist and has been coming over
every day to look at it. Fan came with
him one day and told me that it was all
because I was too independent, and asked
Jack if he didn't admire clinging, femi
nine women."
"That girl will be the death of me some
day."
"M'hm. I'm sorry now that I fell. You
see an hour a day spent here doesn't
amount to much, and Fan pretends that
she is so anxious to learn and has him out
every spare moment."
"And she is not learning a bit faster,
either. Why, here comes Katie!"
And after a hasty greeting, Katlo cried:
"Oh, Effle, I've come to ask you to be my
bridesmaid. You see, Jack and I quarrelod
two weeks ago because I refused to rido a
wheel. Yesterday he camo over and said I
was quite right. I was not to be outdone
in generosity, so I said I'd ride, after all,
and woll, the wedding is set for Juno."
"How perfectly lovely," remarked Jess.
"By tho way, If you want to buy a wheel
cheap, I'm sure Fan would be glad to sell
you hers she has no use for it."
" Thank you, " roplled the bride elect. "I
shall speak to her about it. Why, Effle,
I'm afraid you must be suffering more
than Jack thinks. I declare you look quite
feverish. ' 'Chicago Times-Herald.

It rouses every organ of the body to ac

weak, too nervous, it may be that the food
assimilation is at fault. A certain amount
of bile is necessary for the reception of the
fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver
holds back this element which would help

the muscles, stomach and nerves get the

Have the newspapers been lying about you

said ho, 'a young man called at my cottage
in (Joliasset, bringing a letter of introduc
tion from a friend in New York. I was as
cordial as I could be, and the fellow kept
oalling off and on all summer. He did not
Interest me particularly, but he was harm
less. One day he said to me, "Mr. Bob
son, that Miss Barrett is i charming girl."
" ' "Ah, and so you have met the Bar
retts, have you?" says I."
" ' "I have," says he, "and I regard Miss
Barrett as one of the most charming young
ladies I over saw."
" ' "She is, my boy, she la!" says I.
"Pitch in and win her, and the day you
wed her I'll give you 15,000. And here's
$1 to bind the bargain."
" 'Nat, I pledge you my word I had no
Idea that anything further would ever
coine of the matter. My Idea was to eu
courage the fellow to spend his time at
Barrett's cottage instead of mine. But he
was in earnest, it scorns. I used to hear of
his being with MisB Barrett a good deal,
and occasionally I would see them saunter
ing along the beach listening to the musio
of tho sad sea waves. But, as I said, I
thought nothing serious of it all, and I
forgot all about my stipulation involving
the $5,000. So you can imagine my aston
ishment, my horror, when, about two
months ago, that young man turned up
at my cottage again,, wearing a particular
ly triumphant smile.
" ' "Mr. Bobson," said he, "I've done
it."
" 1 "Done what?" says I.
" ' "Proposed to hor," says he.
" ' "Proposed to whom?" says I.
" ' "Why, to Miss Barrett," says he,
"and I'm going to marry her!"
" ' "The you are!" says I, for the
news fairly knocked the wind out of me.
" ' "I am, indeed," says he, and then
he reminded me of the promise I had given
him about the check. Yes, you may not
believe it; but, Nat, the fellow had the bad
taste to recall that I had promised to give
htm a bridal present in case he won Larry
Barrett's daughter.
" ' "My boy," says I as amiably as I
could, "Stuart Robson never forgets and
he never violates a pledge or a promise!"
" 'The morning of the wedding I was
feeling too Indisposed to leave my bed. I
had been sitting up too late the night be
fore with a sick friend. So I called my
daughter to me.
" ' "Alicia," said I, ''are you going to
the wedding?"
" ' "Yes, father."
" ' "Thon tuko this check with you,"
said I. "Be careful not to lose It, and after
the wedding hand It to tho groom. But,
mind you, Alicia, do not give it to him
until after the minister pronounces them
man and wife, for he might drop dead in
the meantime."
" 'When my daughter returned that aft
ernoon, I said, "Alicia, is it all over?."
" 4 "Yes, father."
" ' "And did you give him the" check
for $5,000?"
" ' "ts, father."
" ' "What did he do when you gave it
to him?"
" ' "Father, he cried."
" 'I was gratified, I will admit, that my
trifling benefaction had touched his heart,
yet I was anxious to know tho full extent
of his appreciation.
" ' "Ho cried, did he?" said I. "How
long did he cry?"
" ' "Father, I am not sure, but I should
say about a minute."
" ' "A minute! A mlnuto!" said I.
" ," I cried an hour before I signed
that check I" ' "Eugene Field in Chi
