I was an invalid when I can first re-

member¬

til I had lived out nearly the allottedepan of raane life The-- doctors toldme when I was a boy that I would haveto be very careful or I would never liveto mans estate After I was grownjthey said my time on earth won limitedNo medicine they gave me afforded anyrelief to my apparently worthless stom-ach

¬

and I concluded that I would ex¬

tend my law practice into the moun-tains

ofIventucky so that I could makea living and at the same time be onhorseback and in the open air as muchas possible

For thirty years I rode over themountains in all kinds of weather andisubsisted on the most meager dietjCornmeal mush was my staple article

f food and whenever I could get freshitnilk I would drink that I could eatno meat and but few vegetables Af-ter

I had reached the age of 70 my stom¬

ach trouble disappeared and sinee thenand up to the Tast few jwtrs I havefteen a well man I subsist now chieflyon Jersey cream and cornmeal mush

A CRUSHER FOR WIFEY

A Distressing Example of a YoungHusbands Absence of Mind

She is a North Side girl says the Chi ¬

cago Tribune and she has recently mar¬

ried the dearest fellow In the worldShe is fully aware of the latter fact nordoes she hesitate to mention it to herfriends Indeed so recent is her mar¬

riage that some of her acquaintanceshave not yet bad a chanco to meet themost charming of his sex Brief as thetime has been however it has yet beenlong enough for her to discover that herhusband is absent minded

The other day she was expecting agirl friend to lunch with her and makethe acquaintance of this paragon Theguest however failed to make her ap ¬

pearance though a careful search ofthe husbands pockets failed to revealthe note of- - invitation It was a rainyday and late in the afternoin the nowdespaired-of-gue- st made her appearance wet and disheveled

What on earth is the matter ericthe bride You poor thing you ardripping wet and you have missed meeing Fred

Im awfully sorry replied the guesbut Ive had the queerest adventurt

I was on my way here in plenty of timeit was raining hard and the wind wrso high that I almost lost my footing n

I stepped from the South Side car antried to cross the street

You poor girl Fred came home oipurpose to meet you I was afraid hiwould forget it but he didnt

Im awfully sorry Yes as I was iidanger of being blown away a gentle-man

¬

came to my rescue and taking myumbrella escorted me to the other sideof the street

That was kind Fred is always do¬

ing something just that nice for samebody or other

But what do you think I thankedhim for his kindness and was reachingfor my umbrella when raising his Jiathe walked off with the umbrella overhim

Why he must be crazy Did youcall after him

Oh yes but he didnt seem to hearand I had to take refuge in a drug storeafter the rain had taken all the curl outof my feathers and ruined my new boaFinally the storm abated and I came onhere I thought perhaps your husbandcould help me to trace the man Hewas toll with gray eyes and a lightbeard cut pointed and

Listen to me a minute Gertrudesaid the bride her face crimson Whatkind of an umbrella was the one youlost

Navy blue silk with a silver handleand my monogram on why that is itWhere on earth did you of all peopleget it

Fred brought it in when he camehome to luncheon sobbed the bride

He told me to save his life he couldntremember where he bad gotten it

DRINKS ETHER BY THE QUART

And TJiereby Greatly Pnzzlcs tlieIedical Profession

There are many ether drunkards in

tiie world bu the palm in that line iseasily borne off by John Becker a shoelaster of Cincinnati Becker attainedthe habit of ether drinking some timeago and now he sometimes puts awayas much as a quart a day of the poi-

son¬

Ether is a powerful anaesthetichaving a similar influence to that ofchloroform It is rarely administeredinternally owing to its deadly influencebut when it is found necessary it isgenerally in the form of Hoffmandrops a solution composed of sevenparts of alcohol to one of ether A dosein this form is lifteen drops

Ether is also highly inflammable andwhen a person acquires a habit ofdrinking it the breath and even theexhalation from the pores of the skinfill easily become ignited by fire andcause serious consequences

Becker purchases it in six ounce bot-tles

¬

paying for the same 40 cents andhe makes five and six trips a day to thedrug store where he is accustomed tobuy the drug He takes it to his roomand goes on an ether jag sleepingfor hours until the effects wear offwhen he again replenishes his bottle

Sometimes when his money is plen-tiful

¬

he buys it in pound packagesthen he remains in his room and sleeps

Ithe hours away and dreams a dream

i that would do justice to an opium fiendThe lack of money sometimes puts astop to his protracted sprees As

j soon as he straightens up sufficientlyhe goes back to work at the factoryand labors industriously to accumu¬

late money to resume his habit Dur¬

ing his sprees he eats nothng He justJ sleeps his existence away

sons¬

One is that we have becomehardened to the expensive shreddingprocess and the other is that the fash ¬

by which the garment was puttogether Even in the simplest acces-sories

of fur notional rules are laiddown for exquisite dressers Thus it isdecreed that the muff should match acollarette but should contrast with alarge cape or fur coat

If then your fur outfit is no largerthan that shown in the first small pic-

ture¬

its two parts must be of the samefur In this ease it was chinchilla thecollarettes high wired collar beingfaced with almond green satin andthe muff being lined with the same ma-terial

In this costume a coquettishtrick was effected by veiling the satinof the collar with the deep lace frill ofthe dress collar Thus though the lacewas not attached to the collarette thedistracting and ultra stylish combina- -

tion of lace and fur was attained Ofcourse if Madam permitted her lace

of a similar mesh to hercollar to show at one end of the muffit would be entirely accidental or atleast quite as much so as the arrange ¬

ment of her neck lace over the satinlining of the collar in which she wasto no little pains before her mirror
