othing like Bar-Ben has ever been
known before in the history of mod
ern remedies. The most complicated
and aggravated of cases, heretofore
considered incurable, yield instantly
to the wonderful curative properties
of this new-discovery. Bar-Ben is as
different from anything and every
thing else as day is from night. The
.effects differ from the effects of other
so-called sexual remedies, in that it
is not a stimulant, but a BLOOD,
NERVE and BRAIN BUILDER. It
creates solid flesh, muscle and
strength, and infuses new vigor and
vitality into the weak, nervous
hrnten-down svsteni. while its ef
fects are quickly apparent, and us as
tonishing as thev are lasting. Tho
testimony of thousands of men and
women whom it has lifted from a
helpless condition of long suffering,
tells the tale of the great discovery
more effectually than words can portray-
Bar-Ben Restorative is prepared m
small sugar-coated tablets, eaby to
swallow, a box of 60 tablets 50 cents,
or six boxes $2.50. Sold by druggists
everywhere, or mailed, sealed, on re

THE WOOD LILY.
Witiiin the forest's meadow bordered hem.
Poising, light tilted, on a single stem?
In lonely beauty, seldom seen with more
Than three companions at the forest door;
I hail thee as a messenger of grac
Sent to enhien sunless wold and space.
Slim pctaletf wonder of a race too few;
Shy cousin of hat -tossing retinue
Which tcp witn splendor the tall meadow gnm
Jocund arc they with all the sprites that pass
Bee, bird and zephyr. Dut thou shinest alone
To brighten here the wood's umbrageous zone.
Looking the dense roofed forest up and down,
Kothing seems more Imperial than thj crown;
'Tis neier far from knoll or meadow side,
Xeier uplifted with cool, flaunting pride,
Bui comes, in all its glorious garb armed.
Beauty's evangel to the gloom and shade.

How an Officer Proved That ';"
Love Is Blind.- -
.
The silent stars looked down through
a clear, still night upou a host of sleep
ing men. The brigade had advanced
by forced, marches and now lay withlu
two miles of the dervish camp. To
morrow's dawn would see the assault
Two officers stood together talking hi
low whispers, for It was of the utmost
Importance Hhat the enemy should be
taken by surprise, and the orders as to
silence were strict.
"Buek up, old chap, you'll come
through all right. And If not, what
does it amount to? You've got uo wo
men folk to bother about."
"No. thauk heaven. It is in times
like this that one is glad never to have
married like poor old Harcourt."
"Why poor?'
"I was thinking of his wife. I should
not care to be tied to an ugly woman
myself."
""That's all rot. Hamilton," retorted
the other. "I don't believe It matters
a. row of pins, so loug, of course, as
she Isn't repulsive or underbred."
"Think so"
"Yes. The most unlikely women
sometimes attract most."
"Well old chap, I'm precious thank
ful I've no thoughts of woman to both
er me tonight. 1 shall try for a lead
tomorrow, even If I have got the
route. We've a good chance of being
first Into the zareha."
"Ye will give you. a race for it, any
how. But we'd better try and get a
sleep, for this awful heat takes it out
of a fellow."
The two went lo.their separate posts.
And as he lay sleepless the thoughts
came to Hamilton that it was some
what lonesome to think that no wom
an's eyes would fill at the news of his
death; and lie looked upward at the
stars above him. wondering where his
soul would be tomorrow.
The shadow of death lay upon him,
as at times It does upon the bravest
soldier: he would fight none the worse
for It In the morning.
The sun had risen.
. In the previous shoit half hour of
dawn the assault had been delivered,
the dervish forces had been driven
from their Intrenchments and now
the black, grinning "Gippys" were
fraternizing and triumphing with their
laughing and chaffing white comrades.
Backward, across the half mile of
plain, the surgeons were busy. Away
to the southward could be heard the
sounds of pursuit as the British offi
cers chased the flying Baggara.
A field hospital at the front is not a
pleasant place, neither can it be de
scribed in cold black and white. War
correspondents, as readers of the
dailies have no doubt noticed, judi
ciously avoid more than the merest
mention of such places.
There wee some ghastly cases, and
both surgeons and assistants bad been
worked hard. But the pressure was
over and at last there was time to at
tend to the wounds which were not
deadly. .
"Now. Hamilton, let's .see," said
Surgeon Major Murphy, approaching
an officer who lay motionless on a
stretcher who had so Iain half an
hour at least. The doctor looked his
patient over, gave a low whistle nnd
beckoned to one of the orderlies who
at that moment turned his head.
"Look, see, Dawklns, here's a bad
case! He must go back to the hos
pital." .
"Bad as that, doctor?" asked the mo
tionless man faintly.
'"Tis so. Now you keep quiet." .
Lieutenant Hamilton bad been to
tally blinded by the explosion of a
shell in an earthwork as, well in front,
he was leading his company. He was

sent to the rear to hospital and Sis
ter Slay was given charge of him.
He had not much pain, only he was
blind. Treatment appeared to have no
effect on this. It seemed likely to be
a long business. The days began to
hang heavily. Then came the old
story, "Love In idleness."
Hospital sisters do not cease to be
women when they take up their work.
Sister May was just as susceptible to
love as though she had been a silly
young thing of IS. though, in fact, she
was ten years older. And he? Pity
being akin to love the recipient of pity
runs a double risk. Her voice was soft
and musical, her touch was soothing,
her care of him teemed first motherly,
then sisterly, and then
So it was that by easy stages they
drifted into that strauge attraction
which the world calls "love."
And her one fear was that some day
lie might see again. The surgeon said
It was just possible and was advising
a consultation with the world famed
Professor Atigenwirtc of Glaefrath.
She prayed against that possibility, for
in her own eyes she was plain nay,
ugly past redemption. Yet, though
she could not realize it, her too large
month and prominent teeth, her irreg
ular nose and all the fancied imperfec
tions of her face mattered little; for
her large gray eyes were soft and full
of animation, her skin was like vel
vet, her figure and carriage perfect
But wottanllke, she could only dwell
upon her.faclal defects and was full of
apprehension lest some day his sight
should be restored, and, seeing her fea
tures, he should loathe her.
Her cousin Kate, a bister nurse, see
ing how things tended, chaffed her
unmercifully.
"Now, May, I thought you had long
ago sacrificed your life to nursing; and
yet the first good looking young lieu
tenant" "He will always want nursing,
Kate," she faltered in excuse.
"Ah! but suppose Dr. Haggerty is
right and his sight comes back. He
won't want any nursing then."
Sister May did not answer.
A week later Hamilton left the hos
pital for Graefrath full of hope. The
night previous to his departure they
came to an indefinite understanding,
and though she would not give an un
qualified answer to Ins pleadings, she
had not the courage to stop him alto
gether. In recklessness she allowed
herself to drink in the sweets of his
passionate words; they would at any
rate be a lifelong remembrance, even
though on his return he should cast
her off.
The operation was successful beyond
his hopes, and in a few weeks he was
rushing back to his love eyes shaded,
It is true, but with the certainty that
In a short time his sight would be fully
restored.
"I want to see Miss Johnstdhe," he
said to the orderly at the hospital en
trance. "Miss Johnstone, sir? Which?"
"Why, the nurse."
"Yes, sir; but there's two of them."
"Well er she'd very good looking.
I did not know there were two."
"Oh, yes. sir; there's two. But I
know the one you mean now."
And he was shown Into the waiting
room-
"Gentleman wants me?. Who cau
it" Then the door opened. He start
ed forward.
"My love!" he whispered. "I knew
you were beautiful. I have come back
to claim you."
Sister Kate drew back ttartled. For
the moment she could not imagine who
this man with the shade over his eyes
could be. Iil that moment he had
drawn her to him and was wildly
pouring out his- love.
In that moment also the door, again
opened, and Sister May. looking In,
saw all.
She faltered and stepped back, the
beating of her heart ehoklmr hPr for
the minute.
"Stop, sir!" said Kate, regaining net
senses.- "You must be Mr. Hamilton?"
"Yes," he answered, amazed, releas
ing her.
This frivolous little voice was not
that of his love. This overfrizzed
hair, these shallow eyes were not
beautiful at the second glance. What
had he done?
"Are you not Miss Johnstone?"
"Yes. Kate Johnstone."
"Kate? And Is your sister"
"Cousin."
"Is she not here?"
"Yes," said Kate, with a smile.
"Stay here. I will fetch her."
"Why, May, you there?" she whis
pered,, on finding her at the threshold
and wondering if she had seen or
heard. "Here is Mr. Hamilton.
Come!"
"No, never! I will ne'ver see him!"
sue panted between her heart beats.
"Nonsense! Ho has come back on
purpose for you, and his eyes are all
right."
"Yes, and he expects to see a pretty
girl like you!" retorted May bitterly.
"Look here, May, don't be n fool! Go
in. He is waiting."
But Hamilton had already grown iai
patient The door opened, and he ?aw
them both.
"Here she is," said Kate.
:Ah!" he said.
Sister May looked down, trembling.
"Are you May Johnstone, my dear
nurse?" he asked, his voice full of
tenderness and love. ,
"Yes," she whispered.
Kate had disappeared; they were
alone.
"My darling. I have come for you,"
he said.
"But you can see now?" "
She looked up recklessly, and theJi
eyes met
"Yes, thank God, 1 can see my love!"
Then she surrendered herself.

It was during the time of powdered
hair and cocked hats the year 1781.
Off Philadelphia lay the 21 gun ship
Ariel, just arrived under the command
of Commodore Paul Jones. There were
in the city many persons who had never
seen that remarkable' man, among them
Ben Wilson, a trim, powerful, young
jack tar of 23. who had lately married
Susan Gray a humble but beautiful
damsel of IS. There had been another
suitor, also a sailor, named Thomas
Wright, who hated Wilson because Su
san had preferred him and who, being of
a cruel, malicious disposition, longed to
do him sonic injury.
Ben shipped aboard the Ariel that he
might serve under the renowned hero.
Learning that Ben shipped, Wright, who,
like the former, had never seen Jones,
also became one of the Ariel's crew. Nei
ther, however, could yet get a sight of
the commodore, who was absent would
not be back for a week.
In a few days Wright was chosen to
act in place of the boatswain's mate, who
was at that time ill. His duties, besides
blowing on the call, etc., now being to
punish with the colt a coil of rope from
two to three feet long and also with the
cat o' nine tails, usually termed the
"cat" such of the sailors as "offended
against the rules of the ship, he ardently
hoped that he might yet have a chance
to flog with his cruel lash the man he
hated for winning pretty Susan.
One day some of the crew were grant
ed permission to go ashore. They were
ordered to return to the ship at 9 o'clock.
The boatswain's mate, Wright, and Ben
Wilson were among them.
Unfortunately Ben drank, and in a
state of partial intoxication he-visited a
few minutes before 0 o'clock, when he
should have repaired to the boat the
Dolplun, a tavern not 20 yards from the
landing.
It was a dark night but by the bright
light streaming through the windows of
the house Ben could see a middle sized,
broad shouldered man, enveloped in a
shaggy overcoat, watching him with a
mingled expression of stern disapproval
and amusement on his broad, weather
beaten face.
"Hold there, my man," said this per
son, laying a hand on his shoulder.
"What's your name, and what ship do
you belong to?
"My name?- Why, now, my name is
Ben Wilson, and my ship is the Ariel,
but blast me if I know what business
it is of yours."
"It is time yon went to the boat You
will get yourrelf into trouble if you don't
go in time. Bear a hand."
"Aye, aye, all well; but I ain't ready
yet, do you see?"
"Come, you must go!" and the hand on
Wilson's shoulder pressed it heavily.
"Let go of me!" cried Ben angrily,' but
the other, half smiling, gripped him yet
more firmly.
Then Ben made a blow at him, which
the man parried, when a struggle ensued.
Ben fought his best but the man at
length succeeded in grasping him round
the arms from behind, in which position
Wilson was literally carried to within a
few fathoms of the boat, when, teeing a
number of the sailors approaching, the
stranger released his hold and, laughing,
made off in the darkness.
"It's lucky you came when you did,"
said the cockswain. "We wouldn't have
waited for you many seconds longer."
"I wouldn't have been here if old Nick
or somebody like him hadn't brought
me," was the reply.
Just then the boatswain's mate,
Wright, who had been an unseen witness
of the struggle toward its termination,
but who in the gloom had not been able
to obtain a good view of the stranger's
face, made his appearance, coming in the
same direction in which the man had
vanished.
"It was I," he whispered to the cock
swain, "who brought Wilson. He attack
ed me near the Dolphin because I re
quested him to go to the boat I had to
let him loose when I got him most here,
and run, as you saw, for I was afraid he
would stab me."
The boat's crew was soon aboard, when
Wright lost no time in reporting that he
had been attacked and struck by Wilson.
This the latter denied, of course, saying
it was a citizen and a stranger with
whom he had had his combat, but he
was not believed.
The court martial was held the next
day, when Jones arrived on board, Wil
son being still kept in the brig, whence
he could not sec the commodore. There
was a singular expression in the face of
Paul Jones when the court martial was
ended, and the sentence of the prisoner
100 lashes on the bare back with the cat
was pronounced.
The next morning was appointed for
theexecution.of.the sentence. When the
time came, -the master at arms brought
up the prisoner and took off his iron:-.!
On one of the gratings, placed just for
ward of the gangway, he was made to
stand, his feet being fastened with worm
ing and his hands secured, wide apart, to
the bulwarks. Along came Wright
scarcely able to couceal his exultation as
he drew the cat from its sheath and lov
ingly stroked the. strings.
"Go on, boatswain's mate." said the
captain.
Wright lifted the Inib on. high, but at
that moment the voice of Paul Jones,
who now appeared, boomed like thunder
on his startled ear:
"Hold! Avast, you rascal!"
And he stepped round so that Wilson
could see him. The young sailor looked
up at him with a start then colored,
then turned pale.
' "Commodore," he stammered, "I 1
my God, sir! 1 was a little in liquor on
that night, but I recognize your face. It
was you who to.ok hold of me, there by
the Dolphin tavern, and carried me al
most to the boat God knows I would
not have struck at you had T known who
It wns."
"Enough," answered the latter. "I
forgive you."
Then he turned on Wright-
"The court martial was a farce," con
tinue! Paul Jones. "I wanted to see If
this Wright would really have the heart
to carry out his falsehood. Now cut loose
that man Wilson and put Wright in his
place. Give him a round dozen, then let
him be broken and put in the after
guard." As to Wilson, nerer after that greatly
to the joy of his pretty wife Susan,
would he toufh another drop of alcohol.

Although Mrs. Oglesby and Mrs. Lit
tler were sisters, the houses of Oglesby
and Littler were far apart from that
time. The beads were so completely
estranged that one did not speak to the
other. For ten years they remained
strangers.
Littler lived in a great old fashioned
mansion in Springfield. Oglesby lived
on his farm near Elkhart. One day, to
the emprise of the Littler family, ex
Governor Oglesby walked" in.
"How are yon, Dave?" eaid the ex

Ammonia as a Fire Extinguisher.
Probably the best fire extinguishing
liquid is aqna .ammonia, withont any
addition whatever. We have personally
had experience with the almost mar
velous power of this substance in tins
direction. In one instance, where fire
had originated probably from spon
taneous combustion, in a pile contain
ing several tons of cotton seed, and the
interior of which was almost a solid
body of live coal, a half gallon of am
monia completely smothered the fire
In another, which occurred at Sa
venay, France, the vapors of a tank
containing GO gallons of gasoline caught
fire in the linen room of a laundry. The
room was instantly a mass of living
flames, but a gallon and a half of am
monia water thrown into it completely
and almost immediately extinguished
the fire. The ammonia was in a glass
demijohn in an apothecary shop next
door to the laundry and was thrown
into the room by the druggist as an ex
periment. So completely was the fire
extinguished that workmen were en
abled to enter the room almost imme
diately, where they found the iron tank
of gasoline intact. National Druggist

A good story is told in connection
with the last Ascot meeting. An Amer
ican, who was used to going into racing
booths in his own country, ordering
luncheon and paying fl, found himself
hungry at the -royal meeting, so he
walked into the first edt handy and
told the attendant to give him some
thing to eat. The man put a sumptuous
luncheon beforehim, to which, as well
as ths champagne, the visitor did ample
justice. He then banded the attendant
5 shillings, received his thanks and was
bowed out of the tent, inwardly con
gratulating himself on the moderateness
of the charge. An English friend whom
he met outside said:
"I did not know you were acquainted
with Lord H."
"Neither am I," replied the Bosto

TRIALS OP A WOMAN.
SHE WHO TAKES THE TICKETS
THE PICTURE SHOWS.
AT
Her Task, 'While Xene ItncUlnp. In
vite n Stndr of Some of the Cari
ous Phase of Iluinitn Nature Thnt
at Time Are on Dress Parade.
As a rule the young woman who
takes' tickets at the picture exhibition
is an art student herself. The other
girls trying to earn money envy her
and think she has a "soft thing." It
is apparently easy enough to be the
ticket- taker at a picture show. AH
there Is to do, apparently, is to sit In
a roomful of pictures, take people's
tickets as they come In and sell cata
logues,. "You would be surprised to see how
much work it is," said a girl who
takes tickets at one of the big exhi
bitions. "You have to keep your eyes
open all the time, for there are a large
number of people who try to run past
without tickets. I have to go after
people a dozen times a day, calling
Ticket please,' aud they turn on me
with an indignant stare. Most of
them then go and buy tickets. But
one well dressed woman the other day
took up her lorgnette, looked me over
from head to foot and said in an Icy
tone: Ticket! I have no ticket!' aud
proceeded calmly on her way. I ran
after her again.
" 'Madame,' I said, '1 shall have to
trouble you for a ticket'
" '1 have already told you 1 had
none,' she said.
" 'I'm afraid you will have to get
one,' said I. I was beginning to be
afraid I should have to get a 'bouncer
to put her out for I was determined
she should not go in without paying.
That Is what I'm here for, and I am
conscientious. Well, at last she flounc
ed out to the ticket office, bought her
ticket and put it down on my desk,
saying:
" 'What an imposition!'
"That is one sort of the people I hae
to deal with. Then the other is the
kind who wish to borrow a catalogue
for a minute and keep it the whole, aft
ernoon. I have to be very stern about
catalogues. The best nay is to polite
ly look up whatever picture Is asked
for and to absolutely refuse to let any
one take a catalogue for a moment.
One nice old lady took me at my word,
and -1 really believe she asked me
every tingle number In the room. I
did more than'25 cents' worth of work
for her, I can tell you. The worst is
telling people the price of pictures. Aft
ter about six weeks of it it grates on
one's nerves. This 13 what continually
happens: A threadbare old gentleman
comes to the desk: '
"Do you know tho price of pic
tures? he asks.
"'Yes; would jou like to know the
price of any?' I reply.
" There is one in the other room, he
says.
" 'What is the number!' I ask.
" 'I can't tell you the number, but it's
In the other room.'
"Then I have to send him for the
number. .
" 'No. 221.'
" That is $500.
" 'Why?' asks my old gentleman.
"If It's early In the afternoon, -I ex
plain to him that I suppose the artist
thinks it worth that; that he is well
known", or what not; later I say, 'I
don't know.' Not one person In 00 of
those who ask the price have the
slightest Idea of buying. Some will
go through half an exhibition and in
sist on knowing the prices of all. I
get so tired of being polite and affable
to all these people that by the time I
get out in the evening I am ready to
Insult my dearest friend for tho sake
of being rude to some one. It's so
hopeless telling the price of a picture
over and over again and each time
having the people exclaim, 'What an
awful price!'
"A great many people hold me per
sonally responsible for the pictures.
Lots of people come and talk very dis
agreeably to me about them. 'What
makes them have such bad shows?'
they ask me. Young men come up
and say, 'Isn't this awful trash?' in an
accusing sort of way, as though I
had done It all myself. And one man
fairly shook his fist in my face and
demanded his money back. 'It's a
swindle!' he shouted at me. But It
really wasn't my fault
"At private exhibitions it's different
There people come up to me and say,
'What a privilege to sit among the
works of the masters all day!' I
don't tell them that if I sat among
the works of the masters much longer
I should go mad, but I would like to.
"The other day .a friend of mine
took my place. A man came up to her
and asked:
" 'Miss, Is your picture among these
works of art?'
" 'Why, np,' she replied.
"He stood off a little way and
squinted at her. 'It should be you
are worthy of it Did no one ever tell
you. you had a beautiful profile?'
"That was a little startling, coming
from an utter stranger. Later she
learned that her admirer was , the
well known photographer. Of course
he bad been looking at her through an
artist's eyes and from a purely ar
tisile standpoint and had meant no
offense. But It was trying." New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Rostand's Tletort.
Rostand, the author of "Cyrano de
Bergerac," has a cheerful habit of si
lencing unpleasant conversationalists.
Not long since a critic said:
"In respect to dramatic situations, 1
think Dumas the elder had a consider
able advantage over you."
"Yes," replied Rostand, "there Is no
doubt about It; but that is Insignifi
cant compared to another advantage
he possesses."
"What Is that, monsieur?"
"Why, all his contemporary critics
are dead."
The beautiful girl had parted forever
from the only man she ever really loved,
and she was even sadder than was usual
with her upon such occasions.
They tried to comfort her.
"There are always good fish left in
tho sea," they urged.
"Yes, but when yon catch them they
turn ont to bo lobsters!" she exclaimed
bitterly, thereby showing that after all
a person's hair may curl naturally
,withont rendering a person entirely de
void oi sense. ucirou uonrnaL
