The Marshal’* Advice.
ft h If Wilbur Nesbtt was finishing
bis humorous novel, "The Gentleman
Rseiuaa.' he was spending a few
weeks in « country town In Indiana.
He had sent nearly all of the revised
manuscript to the publishers, but cer
tain details of the completion of the
j lot had been the subject of discussion
between himself and a friend connect
ed with the publishing house.
One day a telegram- for Nesbtt was
received at (he village telegraph office.
It read
••What are you going to do about
Annie Davis ;!nd I’inkncy Sanger?"
Annie i> be heroine of "The Gentle
man in;" Pinkney is the villain.
If (here is "tie in the book. The local
telegraph operator personally delivered
the message, and Nesblt wrote this
reply:
"Will marry Annie Davis and shoot
FickDey Sanger as soon as I return to
Chicago,"
Tiie operator starv'd at Nesblt wnn
dcringly when he read ttie message,
but Nesblt did not fathom that stare
until the morning when he took the
trs a home, when the village marshal
itepped up to him and said meaningly;
“Mr. Nesblt, 1 would advise you ns
jd oflp-er of the law, sir, not to do
inythiug rash when you get to Chi

Why He Wore a Belt.
"The late Admiral Walker." said a
naval officer In Washington, “always
urged sailors to wed. Nautical bach
elors were hold up to scorn hy him
Strolling with him in New York one
day, we met a young ship broker. The
admiral clapped him on the back,
wrung his ha.id and cried;
“ ‘Congratulations on your marriage,
my young friend No mere sew ing on
of buttons now. eh?’
“‘No. indeed; 1 wear a belt now. It
keeps me so busy raising the money
to pay my wife’s bills that 1 have no
time to sew on buttons.' ”
A Good Reason.
Tbe Into King Oscar of SwwVn on< e
took part In a discussion when travel
ing Incognito in the smoking room of
a Wiesbaden hotel. A Republican
took the floor and felt that he had con
vinced everybody except a certain
white bearded old gentleman sitting at
an adjacent table. He turned upon
him. “You don't seem convinced by
my arguments, sir." he said. “Per
haps you are a Monarchist.”
The white bearded old gentleman ad
mitted that he was.
“Then. sir. would you mind giving
your reasons for preferring a mon
archical form of government?"
“Certainly," replied the stranger,
who was none other than Oscar II.
“The first and foremost reason Is that
I am myself a king."
Love and Finance.
“Oh, Henry." exclaimed Ills wlfp as
she threw lo r arms rapturously about
his neck. “I do love yon so! Don't
forget to leave me before yon go
to town this morning, will you. dear?”
“And Ibis." muttered Henry, softly
disengaging himself from her fond
embrace, “this is what you might call

Lipton's First Assistant.

One day the lad was overheard com

Upton took a small amount from his

the boy a suit of blue doth.
The next day the boy didn't come to
work, and Mr. Upton, meeting bis
mother In the street, asked her the
reason.
“Why. Mr. Lipton." she said, curtsy
ing. "Jimmy looks so resi>ectable.

Forget to Put In the Baby.
A young mother was walking with
her husband on the Atlantic City board
walk. Suddenly she gave a little cry
nf pleasure.
"Oh, there Is nurse—nurse wheeliug
babv."
She ran lightly to the luxurious
roach of leather, with Its swan shaped
carriage and Its rubber tired wheels,
and pushed back the parasol that shad
ed the occupant from the sun. Then
she gave a great start
"Why, nurse." she cried, “where a

them all Mouses, although they are
really deserving of a better fate, for
they are made, most of them, with

used In the making of these ready

waists are Intended to lie worn with
dark and heavier skirts and in them

they make really elegant dresses The
list of diaphanous and more solid fab
rics for summer wear Is too great to
enumerate, but it seems that nothing
that ever was invented has been left
out. The washable ginghams are ex

lawns, didiitiefi and other goods are all
useful and desirable. Most of the cot
ton goods are mercerized, which gives
them a shining surface like silk.
Speaking of shining silks reminds
me that some of the silks for summer
wear are fairly metallic in their lus

against Hie dainty but flimsy fabrics
of the last few seasons. There will

The Medical Times of New York

hope in the form of an article by Dr
Samuel <i Tracy promising a cure
through electricity for the Ills of old
age It Is the arteries. Dr. Tracy
points out. that first show the symi>
toms of senility. When their walls lose
elasticity a man Is growing old. The
cause of the hardening of the arteries
Is an Impure condition of the blood,
and It la here that Dr. Tracy suggests
that the electric battery aball get In Its
beneficent work. A treatment which
Dr Tracy propose* through use of a

-bombards the patient with millions
of oscillations per second." There Is
an elaborate statement of bow the
thing la to b* done, winding up with
this significant remark: •‘This treat
ment must be seconded by strict atten
tion to diet and hygiene."
This last suggestion throws a world
of light upon the whole matter and at
the same time reminds us of a story
which was current In well ordered

was a story of a vagalsond who beg
