I left a message that my rose gardens were at the la dies' disposal, and fled. That morning l had put the finishing touches on my new work, "Roses and Their Cultivation," and for want of something better to do I began a novel. Before I had proceeded far I knew It would never see publication, for It was a partly imaginative account of my own affairs, and as I progressed I be gan to weave a little romance about Phyllis and myself, a foolish thing for an old bachelor to do, of course. Then I decided to wait, at a certain point, and let the situation develop itself. It developed rapidly the next day; In the morning I received a daintily writ ten note from Mrs. Sterling, express ing thanks for the roses, and inviting me to tea for that evening. I accepted the Invitation, it is needless to relate, and It may be of interest to add that I did myself credit. They discovered I was quite equal to such a social func tion, and I trembled not, neither did I grow "purple in the face and stam mer." " Things went merrily for several weeks. I saw my neighbors frequently, and Phyllis and I often talked across the dividing wall from our respective gardens. Then, when I had rescued my reputa tion from the clutches of Mrs. Peabody by my own courage and perseverance, that courage failed me at the critical moment. How was I going to Inform Phyllis that I didn't want to be a bachelor any longer? I was sure that It was a mat ter of no consequence to her; I dreaded to appear In the role of an -ancient adorer. I'm not so old, after all. I could see Genevieve's mirth rqady to break out at any unguarded moment. Mrs. Sterling was evidently sympa thetic, but Phyllis—she was indifferent. As my only consolation I finished up that novel with a happy ending, placed It In one of my little blue covers, and burled It away, with many sighs, in a drawer of my desk, with several others similarly bound, and straightway for got all about Its existence. One day Phyllis begged me to allow her to read the original manuscript of "Roses and Their Cultivation," before It was sent off to the publisher. De lighted to fulfill her wish, I went to my study and seized the desired volume, which I gave to her. Then I hurried to catch the afternoon train to the city, as I had some urgent business to trans act there. The next day, perceiving Phyllis In the summer house, I went over to see her. Before I had been there six min utes I knew something was amiss. She semed embarrassed, and although she kept her face turned away I could see that even her little ears were a deep pink. Her voice, usually so frank and clear, responded to my commonplace remarks in low, hesitating tones. "Well, Miss Phyllis, did you enjoy the manuscript?" "Very much," came In scarcely audi ble tones. "If you care for it you may have that copy, as I have another I can send to the publisher," I continued, cheerfully. A pair of startled eyes met mine and a dazed voice repeated: "The publisher? Surely, O, surely, Mr. Gay, you never intended to publish this!" She held out my supposed treatise on "Roses," and, shades of my ancestors, on close inspection I recognized that novel! In my haste I had given her the wrong manuscript! Phyllis was evidently angry. If ever a bashful man was in a tight fix, I was. I first calmed her anger by explain ing the mistake; I told her I had only written the novel for my own amuse ment, for which imprudence I now humbly apologized; then, blind as I T . .. . , , was, I did not notice how sad her face | became as I continued: "I never Intended you to see It; of course it is all fiction, pure and simple, especially simple. Every word of It fiction." "O! only fiction, Mr. Gay?" she said, a trifle stiffly. Then my good angel turned a ray of light Into my darkened mind, for I an swered promptly, with the courage of my conviction: "It is in your power to make It truth, Phyllis. Will you, dear?" And she murmured "Yes."—Ex change. SLEEPING BAG LIKE A HOUSE. Portable Shelter that Shields Hunters from Storms and Cold. Hunters, prospectors, and persons compelled to move from day to day have found the sleeping bag the most convenient form of bed and these are Dow in general use among this class of people. They are extremely comfort able and at the same time offer abso lute protection from tlie elements, as they are generally lined with some soft material and have an outer cover ing of leather or rubber to keep out the wet. Their form is generally well known, but what seems to be a great improvement in these has been recent ly patented in this country by Abelard Lapierre of Montreal. His invention consists of a rigid frame, collapsible when not In use, and covered with some material adapted to withstand the weather. The whole top is re movable on a hinge to admit of en trance, while at the upper end of this lid Is a smaller opening, also covered with a similar hinged lid. This latter I mav he closed entirely in cold weather ' may dl ciutseu euureiy iu coiu weaujer, while in milder temperatures it may bo fastened at any desired point When | the top is closed a means of ventilation is provided through boles under the protecting edge Of the larger flap.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by consti tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining: of the .Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling: sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out, and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Edward Entwhistle, who has recent ly celebrated bis 84th birthday at the home of Mrs. Thomas O'Dea, his grand daughter, In East Des Moines, Iowa, has seen the great railroad systems of the world develop from their very be ginning. He was the first railroad passenger engineer. Despite his' age he is hale and hearty and looks confident ly forward to several years of life. Mr. Entwhistle as a boy of 14 held the throttle on the first trip of the Rocket, Stevenson's pioneer engine. Edward Entwhistle was born March 24, 1815, at Tilsey's Banks, Lancashire, England, and while a mere boy was ap prenticed to learn the machinist's, or, as It is known in England, the engi neers' trade. The Rocket was built in the shops in which he was employed and the interest which he took in the machine attracted the attention of Stevenson, who recommended that he be permitted to ride on the engine on ' Its first trip over the Liverpool and ! Manchester line, for which it was con structed. Young Entwhistle made the trip and on the return journey he held j the throttle. This was the beginning of his career as a locomotive engineer. He ran the Rocket for two years, mak io*". J, ENTWHISTLE AND THE BOCKET« lng two round trips between Liverpool and Manchester, a distance of thirty one miles each way. The work wore on him and he was obliged, because of nervousness, to resign. Stevenson then secured for him a place as second en gineer on one of the duke of Bridge water's coasting steamers. He came to America in 1837 and became engi neer on the Troy, a Hudson river steamer. Soon after the engineer of the famous John Bull locomotive was Injured and Entwhistle took his run. In 1844 he came to Chicago and at dif ferent times held positions as station 1 "nginee"r.^keTteamer"engineer and , ocomotlve engineer. He came to Des Moines in 1856 and became gineer of Shepherd & Perrier's flouring mill. Later he became engineer of the Ankeny mills, a position he held for twenty-two years. When Mr. Entwhistle visited the ' World's Fair in Chicago he spent near* ^ his time for three days standing beside the Rocket, which was on exhi- I bition. He is a remarkably modest man and did not make his identity or his early connection with the engine known He even nledaed the members , . ' „ pieugeu me mtmueis of his family not to "give him away," : but he derived great pleasure from gaz ' lng , at pla " e ^ •'»comotive and com paring it with the modern machines which were on exhibition in the same building. The picture which accom panies this sketch is from a photo graph taken about the time of Mr. Entwhistle's visit to the World's Fair. ^ 2 ?E'pL Sr p een a ca t A woman Is a lot easier to hunt down than a mosquito. Marriage to the average man is a luxury; to the average woman it Is only a necessity. When one girl speaks of another as "so sensible" you will notice her nose always turns up. A man never really loves a woman till he loves her too well to try to teach her to play whist At certain periods every girl has so many soul-yearnings that she has hard ly room for a square meal. The prophet Elijah ought to have let the boys alone; then they would have grown up to be bald-beaded them selves. If there is anything at all in the transmigration theory, It is probable that every woman has at some time No man has any real Idea of the length of a minute till his wife makes him wait ten of them before he takes off a mustard plaster. When two women first see each other each one always wonders whether the other is married; when It's two men, each wonders what the other one Is worth. The reason why a married man can never go down to business the day be fore his wife comes back from a visit is because he has to stay home to wash up all the dishes he has used. A man always rises ln bis own esti mation when he gets on familiar termii with a person of whom he once stood In awe. Sc* E An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the idem laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs re used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
