Literary women manifest d decided penchant for doctors as husbands. At any rate, there are a great many of them who do not have to send a servant tear ing down the street for a physician every time they have a spell of nervousness. They have simply to call in the services of ' hubby," and all is well. Some one has compiled a list it is only partial, however of the authoresses who have chosen their life partners from the medi cal profession, says the Chicago Chroni cle. Helen Mathers, the clever authoress of "Coming Through the Rye,'N married Dr. II. A. Reeves, a well known surgeon, in 18TG, when the, fame of her first suc cess was fresh on.her. At the same age 24 Mrs. Frances ITodsson Burnett married Dr. Burnett of Washington. She bad begun to write six years before her marriage, when she was a girl of 18, but it was not until she had leen married for four years that fame came to her on the wings 0f "That Lass o' Lcwrie's," published in 1877. - Mme. Sarah Grand was but a "wild young Irish girl," impatient of home con trol and already fired by high ambitions, when she married at 16 a young army doctor called Mr. Fall. She traveled with her husband for some years in the cast and it was only when her restless spirit had tired of new scenes and new faces that she settled down happily with her pen and began to write "Ideala." Miss Annie S. Swan, who began to write children's stories in the paternal farmhouse in Scotland, also met and married a doctor, Dr. Burnett Smith. Mrs. Flora Annie Steel married a Ben gal civil servant more than 30 years ago and spent her married life in India until 1881), when she found fame awaiting her iu England. John Oliver Hobbes waited until she was 30 before she married Reginald Crai gie. John Strange Winter was 28 when she married Arthur Stannard, a civil en gineer, and two years later her charming look, "Bootle's Baby," with its wonder ful knowledge of infant and military life, made her famous. ' . . Miss Olive- Schreiner waited long be fore she was content to part with her freedom to Mr. Cornwright, a South Af rican gentleman farmer and, like herself, "a child of the velt."

' ' r - , T 4 , ' "The pathos of the women who dreswed too youthfully has not been' recognized I aivtays, saia one who was young enough to dress as she wanted to and so indif ferent to the subject that she-never cared how she looked,; j'and persons are likely to look upon her as rather ridfcpilous. But she is alwayslsaddening to me. It is not only the thought of fighting old" age that depresses one. . That is bad enough. But sometimes an added element of sor row, ts to be detected in these attempts tq help stay youthful. The other night at the theater two persons sat in front of me who showed in the most striking. way the saddest phase of the woman's at tempt to -keep young. They were man and wife. She was a few years younger than he, who looked about 50. But the difference ' between them was greater than the few years measured. He was still in the prime of life. She was getting old. A few years more would make her visits to tie theater with, him much less frequent- She was older as it was than most of the women around her. When she took off her hat, a white ribbon bow jauntily tied in her hair was disclosed. It seemed a pathetic struggle against the coming of old age. She knew that the man-siting next to her loved ycmthfulness in women and all that estate implied. He liked to see them smartly dressel, stylish and animated in the way that young wo men can be and old ones can never be. To represent that age was far beyond her power. She could only dress as youthfully as she could, adopt every de vice to make herself seem of the age he admired .gomuch and come as nearly as possible to filling his ideal of what a woman should be like."

''I will do thees things you ask," he said. "I Tvin prove that I want to marry you for yourself only I will do' thees things on one condition." Tears of happiness rose to her eyes. She threw her arms around him and tissed him, and then she sobbed: "Ah, darling, I knew you would 'do so., I have felt from the first that my noble Bruno was no mere fortune hunter.

O Bears the Signature of 1 The Kind You Have Always Bought Trusted Kis Dug; Too Far. It is not always saf; to put too muck trust in a dog. An Ellsworth man had a highly prized dog, and when a neighbor presented a bill for two hens which he claimed had been killed by the brute the dog owner was grieved and positively re fused to believe the charge or pay for the hens. A few days later the Ellsworth man was driving by the farm where the hens had been killed. The dog was with him in the carriage. He drove into the farmer's yard to prove to him that Jiis dog was not guilty. "Let out your hens," he said, "and I'll call the dog out of the carriage to prove that he will not kill hens." It was done. Before the dog could be stopped he had killed four. The owner of the dog, who never dishonors a just bill, pulled out his wallet and settled for six hens. Bangor (Me.)

Why His Efforts to Calm the Passen gers Were Unappreciated. "Some funny situations occasionally arise from sudden cases of real or ap parent danger," remarked a much trav eled Philadelphian one day recently, "an illustration of which fact came under my observation on a crowded steamboat. The time was night, and some big excursion party was on board. All at once the boat r began to careen from side to side in a way that alarmed even me, accustomed as I was to queer antics of water craft, but because of the many women and children on board I kept my alarm to myself. "It wasn't so with others who noticed the boat's rocking, however, and pretty soon everybody was frantically fastening on life preservers. I mean everybody who could get them, for the boat was equipped with only about half enough to go around. Then there followed a scene of the wildest confusion. Women were crying and shrieking. Some of them were on their knees praying. In the midst of it all the captain appeared. Coming up to a little group of which I was one, and the members of which were outwardly calm, he assured us that there was really no danger and asked us if we would quietly mingle with the people and endeavor to restore quiet. Of course we consented. But that wasn't the funny part. Stand ing near enough tfj overhear our conver sation was an excited individual of mid dle age. When we started on our mis sionary work, he thought it his duty to help, and half a minute later he was hard at work in the cabin telling the women to stop their crying, for the boat was all right. He didn't seem to have much suc cess, however, and 1 wondered at it until I saw him stop in front of a grim visaged, middle aged woman who had been una ble to get hold of a life preserver. " 'Be calm, madam, be calm,' he ex claimed, 'there is no danger whatever, and the boat will get to shore all right.' "The woman looked the fellow rover scornfully. J " 'If you are so sure of that,' she re torted, 'then give me one of those two life preservers you are hanging on to so tight.' "Sure enough, although I hadn't no ticed it before, the man had been carry ing a life preserver in each hand in addi tion to the one he wore around his waist all the time he was energetically assur ing the weeping women that there was no danger. The thing was so absurd that I and two or three others who took it all in burst out laughing, which had as much to do with restoring quiet as anything else. Half an hour later the boat landed right Bide Up with care, and we saw no more of the man with the three life pre servers." Philadelphia Inquirer. The" best furniture-for the money at Mrs. M. H.

TOWNSENDv It is the devout wish of nearly all people to live to a ripe old age. None of us want to die young. This universal desire can be realized if care be taken of the health in early and middle life. A little precaution then will add many years to our existence. Death can be kept away a long time. Happy, healthy old age will be the lot of the woman who promptly corrects the ailments which afflict her sex. In youth, Wine of Cardui will take the female child safely over the dividing line between girlhood and womanhood. As a wife she needs it to help her through the trials of -pregnancy and childbirth with as little discomfort as possible. At the Change of Life it will help her over the dangerous place that appears in her pathway between 40 and SO. Then will come many years of truly blissful existence.
