McRinley the Man. Of all tlii* tributes paid pivsi dent of til United States in the course of his tour of the country none lias heen so eloquent, and none other can be, as that paid him by one woman. That wom an is his wife. At New Orleans she, for the tirst time, allowed herself to be interviewed. It could hardly be called an inter view, however, for it was but the expression of an opinion cas ually given, but it is doubtful if anything ever said of the presi-; dent cculd bring him quite as close to all the people as this from his wife: "ltd you know Major McKin ley?" she asked. "Ah, no one can know him, because to appre ciate him one must know him as 1 do And 1 am not speaking now of Major Mckinley as the president. 1 am speaking of him as my husband. any one could know what it is to nave a wife sick, complaining,always an invalid for twenty-five years, sel dom a day well, and yet never a word of unkindness has ever passed his lips; he is just the same tender, thoughtful, kind gentleman 1 knew when first he came and sought my hand. "I know him because 1 am his wife, and it is my proudest pleas ure to say this, not because he is the president, but because he is my husband. "1 wish t hat I could have seen him yesterday; I love to see him among the people whom he seeks to serve so fail iifullv. but I read his speeches this morning. I read all his speeches. I only wish t li it I could help him as I should. "lie is so kind, so patient, lie gives me all the time he can; he never forgets me, no matter how busy he is. But I will be glad when he is out of public life; 1 did not want, him to runasecond time. I thought he had done enough for the country, and now I know that he has done though, and when his term expires he will come home and we will settle down quietly and he will belong to me." As a tribute to McKinley, the man and husband, nothing could be more eloquent.?Atlanta Con stitution. Shudders at His Past " I recall now with horror," says Mail Carrier Burnett Mann, of Levanna, ()., " my three years of suffeting from Kidney trouble. 1 was hardly ever free from dull aches or acute pains in my back. To sloop or lift mail sacks made me groan. 1 felt tired, worn out, about ready to give up. when 1 began to use Klectric Bitters, but six bottles completely cured me and mademefeellikea new man." They're unrivaled to regulate Stomach, layer, Kidneys and Bowels, Perfect satisfaction guaranteed by Mood Bros. Only 50 cents. Oil in Louisiana. Monday last oil was secured at Sulphur City, in this State, a well which has been in progress of construction for some time, having develope 1 in to a great oil gusher similar to those which have been fcfund at Beaumont, Texas. The location of the new find is about M) miles east of the Beaumont oil fields, in the heart of Calcasieu parish, this State. The discovery of oil in Louisi ana is no surprise, as its presence has Ions; been known, although until the development of t he Beaumont field no great attent ion was attracted to it. It is quite probable that the oil belt extends well through the center vl the St ite, and it is more than likely that the mineral products will be found in greater quanti ties in this State than in the neighboring State of Texas. It will b? interesting to corn pan* tin* quality of the Louisana oil with that found at Beaumont. While the fuel oil now available is enough in itself to add gieatly to the wealth of this section, it is pretty certain that oil of an even fiigher grade will also be discov ered. The development of a well 40 miles distant from Beaumont, to the eastward, is proof positive that the oil field is extensive and underlies a large section of coun try. These oil finds certainly mean great things for this im mediate section: something which is beyond human computation.? New Orleans Picayune. Miss Florence Newman, who has been a great sufferer from muscular rheumatism, says Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only remedy that affords her relief. Miss Newman is a much respected resident of the village of (Iray, N. Y., and makes this statement for the benefit of others similarly afflicted. Thisliniment is for sale by Flood Bros. Compensation.

Littlefield, who studied law with Abraham Lincoln, writes his -recollections of his great mentor in the New York "Success." He tells this attractive bit of anecdote All clients knew that, with "Old Abe" as their lawyer, they would win their case?if it was fair; if not, that it was a waste of time to take it to him. After listening some time one day to a would-be client's statement, with his eyes on the ceiling, he swung suddenly round inhischairand exclaimed "Well, you have a pretty good case in technical law, but a pretty bad one in equity and justice. You will have to get some other fellow to win this case for you. I couldn't do it. All the time while standing talking to that jury, I'd bethinking, 'Lincoln, you're a liar,' and I believe I should for get myself and say it out loud."

One of the churches in a little Western town is so fortunat as to have a young woman as its pastor. She was was called to the door of the parsonage one ?lav, and saw there a much eiubarrassed young farmer of the German type. "Dey saia der minister 1 ifed in dis house," he said. "Yes," replied the fair pastor. "Veil?in?I?I vaut to kit merritt!" "To get married? Very well; 1 can marry you," said the min iateress, encouragingly. "Oh, but 1 got a girl already!" was the disconcerted reply.? Brooklyn Life. DeWitt's Little Early Risers search the remotest parts of the bowels'and remove the impurities speedily with no discomfort.

IJall curtains may be hung from swinging brackets, to be pushed back flat against the walls when a freer passageway is needed. These brackets are often used in apart ments where the parlor and dining room are just by the front door, the bedrooms and bath beyond. Perfect privacy is then secured the tenant, and a pretty interior is suggested to the visitor. The quality of the cur tain must depend upon the sur roundings. Sometimes a heavy tap estry can be used, a velvet or a silk, but oftenest a simple hanging serves every purpose. There is a transparent Japanese silk showing painted flowers or fig ures, which in many places is bet ter than anything else. The hall is not darkened by it, and at the same time no visitor can see through it. The general effect is apt to be enhanced by a small table in front of the hall curtain, and if the other appointments of the house justify the use of cathedral and church lamps one of these suspend ed from the ceiling by the curtains, with pieces of brass or of pottery on the table, will be found most inter esting. For the most part, however, the simpler the arrangement of the table the better, a crystal vase with fresh cut flowers or a palm being all that is needed.?Harper's Bazar. GERAMLM FLAVORING. Among the old fashioned (lower ing plants the rose geranium has al ways occupied a prominent place in popular favor. Our grandmothers and perhaps some of their grandmothers have been known to strew the fragrant leaves among their lingerie, but few know of the culinary value of the humble plant. The next time you are making crab apple jelly try this recipe with a few glasses: Have the geranium leaves washed to freo them from any possible par asites. Then, just before pouring the hot jelly into the glasses, throw a small leaf into the bottom of each glass. It may be allowed to remain until the jelly is used and will not spoil it in any way. The result is an inde scribable flavor, which improves the jelty- immensely. Sometimes when baking a cake line an earthen plate with the ge ranium leaves and turn the hot cake upon thein, leaving it there until quite cold. The steam absorbs the fragrance from the leaves, giving the cake the daintiest possible flavor, that sug gests nothing so much as the odor of a La France rose.?What to Flat. PLANTS FOR TRH VERANDA. With the usual perverseness of human nature, it is the woman on the 6bady side of the 6treet who usu ally wants flowering plants for her veranda, and it is her neighbor on the sunny side who admires, nbove all things, a variety of palms and ferns. Because a house is generally on the shady or the sunny side of the street a veranda is a difficult place to decorate with plants; but, with planning, each can be fitted with those best suited to its situa tion. Jardinieres for posts, filled with palms and ferns; trailing vines from hnnging baskets, running vines up tbe supports and across the woodwork and a box for the edge filled with fuchsias, geraniums, heliotropes, a few petunias and a fern or two are all suitable for the 6hady veranda. For the vices that will thrive best there there are the variegated vinea, English and Ger man ivies and Asparagus plumosus. Anything but palms and ferns will grow on the sunny veranda. Rubber plants, which, like well dis ciplined people, accommodate them selves to circumstances, will grow in either place. TO HOl.D THIS COOKBOOK. I have in my kitchen a device foi holding my cookbook open for ref erence as I work at the table be neath the kitchen shelf. It has proved very convenient for a novice at cookery, says a writer. A board having a narrow strip nailed alont its edge, to keep books from slip ping, is suspended in a slanting posi I tion by wires fastened to the undcr ' side of the shelf in the kitchen. Mj cookbook or recipes rest on this at just the right height for my eyc< to read as I work at the table be . neath the shelf. A strip of tap* runs across this board and holdi the book open at its proper place. ?CI9SORS IB THE KITCHFV.

The liability to disease is greatly le' 8e led when the blo;*l is in good con ditio i, and the circulation healthy and ! vigorous. For then all refuse matter is promptly carried out of the system ; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate ? fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti tution so weakened that a simple malady .might result seriously. A healthy, active circulation means good digestion and strong, healthy i nerves. As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S. I has no equal. It is the safest and best remedy for old people and children I because it contains no minerals, but is made exclusively of roots and herbs. No other remedy so thoroughly and effectually cleanses the blood of im S^-. purities. At the same time it builds up the weak and de bilitated, and reno vates the entire sys tem. It cures permanently all manner of blood and skin troubles. Mr. E. E. Kelly, of Urban a, O., writes: "I ha i Ea on my hanaa ana face for five jea s. it would break out in little white pi*scul'38, crusts would form and dropoff, leaving the skin red and inflam ed. The doctors did me no good. I used all the medicated soaps and salves without beneilt. S. S. a. cured me, and my skin is as clear and smooth as any one's." Mrs. Henry Siegfried, of Cape May, N. J., says that twenty-one bottles of S. S. S. cured her of Cancer of the breast. Doc tors and friends thought her case hope less. Richard T. Gardner, Florence, S. C., sutlered for years with Boils. Two bot tles of 8. S. S. put his blood in good con dition and the Boils disappeared. Send for our free book, and write our physicians about your case Medical advice free. THE Srf.fT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, OA. Coons. A Texan writer tells how ne groes came to be called coons. He says a pioneer moved to Tex as from North Carolina, built a cabin of poles and planted a crop. When the corn was in roasting ears the coons came very near I eating it all up. He procured ! some strychnine, which turned out to be morphine, and dosed ? quite an amount of com. Thenext ; morning when the pioneer went to the field the fence was covered ! with sleeping coons, which were | clubbed, their skins sold and a ; negro ''gal" bought with the | money. The negro was called i Coon and hence the name. Fought For His Lite. " My father and sister both died of Consumption," writes .1. T. Weatherwax, of Wyandotte, i Mich., "and I was saved from | the same frightful fate only by I Dr. King's New Discovery.

" It is with a good deal of pleas ure and satisfaction that I recom mend Cham berlain'sColic,Cholera and Diarrlnea Remedy," says I)ruggi?t A. W.Sawtelle, of Hart ford, Conn. "A lady customer, seeing the remedy exposed for sale on my show case, said to me: 'I really believe that medi cine saved my life the past sum i iner while at the shore," and she became so enthusiastic over its merits that 1 at once made, up my mind to recommend it in the [future. Recently a gentleman came into my store so overcome i with colic pains that) he sank at once to the floor. I gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the dose and in fifteen minutes he left my store smilingly informing me that he felt as well as ever." Sold by Hood Bros. ! Begin by denying yourself, and by and by you forget yourself.
