This phrase of the matter probably never occured to you. But think it over. Suppose that the rate for want ad vertising in this newspaper were one dollar a word! A prohibitive rate, you say?

He haa con vinced them, aa he convinced Jolan, that love is but a fond folly and that money Is the only thing in life worth while. With a shaft of sarcasm he has pierced their bubbles of romance. Later, when his advice has been acted upon, when the girl has discov ered for herself the old truism that money cannot buy happiness and that a fat purse Is but poor recompense for a fatness of wit, the devil again ap pears at the opportune moment—al ways at the opportune moment. Johnny-on-the-apot-ness Is a charact eristic of al the devils I have ever known, and the number is not few. Then, with the lady safely married to a fat boob with a big bank account, and all the fat apparently In the fire, the devil reverses himself. A consist ent devil would be unthinkable. He points out the joyq and beauties of romance, the ecstacies'of love, the de liriums of paBSlon—all of those great emotions which the woman might have known, and has missed. He sneers at wealth, at conventions, at respectability, and declares the world well lost for love. The devil's argument Is as old as humanity, but to the liste ner It comes as a new and unique birthright of virtue to whleh she was born becomes a hateful nightmare, the mess of pottage is near at hand, hu man nature is weak and—what would you? But after all, we cannot help a cer tain sneaking sympathy for this devil, an admiration that Is akin to rever ence. He is. the Incarnate spirit of protest which Inhabits the souls of all of us. He Is our double, our other side, our subconscious ego, perhaps kept always under control, but always seeking expression. Tin by The Chronic Diarrhoea Relieved. Mr. Edward E. Henry, with the, United States Express Co., Chicago, writes, "Our General Superintendest, Mr. Quick, handed me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy some time ago to check an attack of the old chronic diarrhoea.
