This story is told of a woman who
his recently come to livo in New
York and whose beauty has brought I
her into considerable notice, borne
years ago her husband,' who had
'been flrinking a good deal, became
inconsequence irresponsible. It was
deemed .advisable to confine him
temporarily in a sanitarium. Here
bis physical condition grew rapidly
vrorse, and one day his wife received
a hasty, summons to what was said
to be his . deathbed. Th e lady,- who
fcas always given considerable time
ar.d thought to the matter of dross,
stepped on her way at her dress
maker's and gave) an order for a
complete outfit of jwidow's mourn
ing. On arriving at the sanitarium
slier found her. husband better, and'
after remaining with him several
days until the danger' was past she
returned to her home. She had en
tirely forgotten about the order that
had been given to the dressmaker,
and what was her dismay to find all
the paraphernalia of woe awaiting
her! The husband recovered entire
ly both in mind and body and was
obliged to pay a goodly sized bill
for the mourning that wa3 designed
for bis funeral. Shortly afterward
a friend was calling upon the lady,
and, seeing a pile of dressmaker's
boxes in a corner of the room, asked
whether they contained something
new and pretty.
"No, " was the smiling answer.
"Therein lie my buried hopes. "

. QUAINT ARCTIC LEGEND.
in Old Rnsshm Story Abiut the Ist
' Tribes of Israel.
Years and years ago, so the legend
runs, an exiled Jew on the bleak
Wilds of northern Siberia, in an ef
fort to reach an overhanging branch
of a tree, placed his foot upon a log
floating in the water. No sooner had
his foot touched the log when it
seemed inspired with life and moved
rapidly off, bearing the; .exile away
toward the vast icefields, which
were ' plainly visible and plentiful
toward the north." Rapidly tho'cur
rent swept the log northward, bear
ing with it the unfortunate Jew,
who was so benumbed with fear
and cold that he was unable to for
mulate a plan of escape from his
perilous position. -J' ;
For three'' consecutive days and
nights the prisoner clung to the log,
through towering fields of
dashing under arches
cut by the current through the sky
scraping fields of ice. Out into beau
tiful sunshine our traveler eventual
ly emerged. The grass was green,
and the tree3 were garbed in the
splendor of nature, and birds made
merry music on every "branch. Peo
ple, great in numbers, jwere congre
gated on either bank of the stream,
all dressed in lipliday raiment of the
finest texture, but. similar in charac
ter to the clothing worn by our an
cestors 2, OQ years ago.j The current
of the stream ceased to! flow, the log
drifted to the bank, and the almost
famished and thoroughly frightened
traveler repeated for tbio thousandth
time the Hebrew words, "Shama
Jsrael," and in uncertain manner
dismounted from the Ickt.
The inhabitants crowded about,
and, speaking in Hebrew (with
which language ho was thoroughly
conversant), learned of his need of
food and rest and supplied those
wants, after which they inquired
whence he came and whither he was

going. .Numerous inquiries were
made regarding the people who lived
beyond their circumscribed world,
who in reciprocity informed him of
themselves and their mode of living,
which had in nowise bhanged since
the advent of the Christian era. i
They worked and worshiped even
as did the Jew in ancient times,
when Palestine was a garden and
Jerusalem the center of civilization.
The traveler learned that these peo
ple were the lost tribes of Israel,
who had migrated to this godly
country, led by the descendant of
Aaron named Joseph, who had
passed away without leaving any
descendants. With them they had
brought many of the vessels and
much of the paraphernalia of Solo
mon's temple and patterned - their
house of worship after this famous
temple of Jerusalem. I

ried all before it. Thirteen houses have
been literally blown from the face of the
earth, but, only two deaths, those of Ed
Long and a negro woman; have been re
ported. A hundred or more persons are
injured. The basket factory, where the
greater portion of the inhabitants of the
town worked, was just out of the storm's
path. .' i
Of live of the structures destroyed noth
ing could be found but small pieces of
kindling wood. . Trees two feet in diame
ter were cut like weeds and twisted to
pieces. The path of the cyclone was about
100 yards wide, and total devastation fol
lowed it. Immediately after the funnel
shaped cyclone passed off the work of res
cuing its victims was commenced,
Twenty-five people were seriously in
jured, and six of them are reported dying.
A Mrs. Kiciietts and a man named Bund
ley were among those fatally hurt. A 10-year-old
lad was found half a mile away
in a dying condition. The cyclone lasted
five minutes and passed toward the north
east. A hundred; people are now search
ing for the dead, wounded and missing.

THB old man whf
looks out at the
world with" clear -and
healthy eyes
cannot help feeling
great gratification at
the thought that his
children and in
children's childro'4
have inherited frota
him no weakness not
tendency to disease.
I The healthy old man
I is the man who ha9
throuffbrmt his life
kept his digestion
good and his blood
pure. Once in
a while you find such
a man who has never
taken any medicine.
That man has lived
a perfectly - natural
life., Not one in a
thousand does do it.
Sometimes very
slight indiscretions
or carelessness pave
the way for serious
sickness. The germ
theory of disease is
well authenticated,
and germs are every
where. This need
make no difference
to the perfectly
healthy man. Germs go through the
healthy body without effect They are
hurried along rapidly and thrown off before
they have time to develop or increase. Let
them once find lodgment or let them find a
weak spot, they will develop by the million
and the blood will be full of them Instead
of rich, life-giving properties, the blood will
be a sluggish, putrid tide of impurity. In
stead of giving strength to the tissues, it
will force upon them unwholesome and
innutritions matter, and the man . will
lose flesh. The more flesh he loses and the
weaker he becomes, the more susceptible
he is to disease. His trouble will become
complicated and serious consequences will
follow. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is the only medicine that absolutely
and infallibly cures all blood diseases, and
almost all diseases are blood diseases. - It
isn't a medicine for some one particular
so-called disease. It is a medicine for the
wJwle tody. It forces out all the germs of
disease, replaces impurities with rich, red
blood, fedds the tissues and makes strong,
healthy flesh. ... : .
