SWEETEST THINGS OF EARTH.
"What are the sweetest things of earth
Lips that can praise a rival's worth;
A fragrant ruse that hides no thora;
Riches of gold untouched by scorn;
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile though they may weep;
A brother's cheer; a father's praise;
The minstrelsy of summer days.
A heart where never anger burns;
A gift that looks for no returns;
Wrong's overthrow; pain's swift release
Dark footsteps guided into peace.
The light of love in lover's eyes;
Age that is young as well as wise;
An honest baud that needs no ward
A life with right in true accord.
A hope-bad waxing into joy;
A happiness without alloy;
A mother's kiss; a baby's mirth
These are the sweetest things on earth.
Emma C. Dowd, in Ladies Home Journal.
A TRANQUIL MAN.
BUT UK WANTED TO HAVE A QUIET
KEANCE WITH A FRIEND.
There was a man walking up and down
in front of the l'avonia ferry house at
the foot of Chambers street the other day
with a parcel in his hand, and after a
time a policeman, who thought he might
need information, asked him what was
wanted.
"Look a-there!" replied the man as he
opened the parcel and displayed a pair of
suspenders which had once been of a
sky-blue color, but which had faded out
to the hue of a November corn husk.
"Well?" queried the officer.
"Bought 'em of a young feller right
here four weeks ago!" hoarsely whisper
ed the victim. "Give him a quarter.
He warrented 'em not to run or fade. I
want to see that young man for about
two minits."
"They have faded, I see," observed
the ofEcer.
"I should remark! I hadn't loaded
three loads of hay before they commenced
to run, and the red went clear through
to my hide! The yonng feller lied
deliberately lied, and I want a brief inter
view with him!"
"I would advise you to be tranquil,"
said the officer, as he returned the sus
penders. "Oh, I am a tranquil man. I'm the
tranquilest man in our county. I'm jest
as cool and calm as an ox in a fence cor
ner. I don't even breathe bard. Haven't
seen the young feller around here to-day
hev ye?"
"No. If you raise a row you will be
run in."
'I shan't raise no row. I'll jest go
along up the street and look for him. If
I find him there won't be no scrimmage.
I'll jest walk up to him and sorter reach
out, and whoever finds the body will
find these suspenders reposin, on his cold
and dewy bosom. I'm a tranquil man
and very tenderhearted, but I'll jest walk
a Ion up tbe street and look for that
liar. lie won't holler and he won't suf
fer long not more'n fifteen seconds.
He headed off up the river, looking
very stern and solemn as he dodged
among the vehicles, but as no report was
made of any one being found dead he
probably missed the suspender man

A MAINS WOMAN WHO ATTRIBUTES
HER LONGEVITY TO A LACK OF COR
SET?. Mrs. Sarah Van Nostrand, who is now
entering upon her 104th year, and is
still hale and hearty, attributes her long
evity and good physical condition to the
fact that she never wore a corset. The
hale old lady celebrated the anniversary
of her 103d birthday the other day at
her homo in East Millstone, Me. She
was conceded to be one of'the "youngest"
in the party, so lively and sociable was
she. On that occasion the did not hesi
tate to make it known that her disobe
dience of fashionable decrees, and espec
ially those that ordain the cor jet, was
the cause of her hale old age.
"If our girls abandon the corset," said
she, "they would live longer and be
healthier. I always hated corsets and
would never wear them."
She was married in 1810, and during
her fifty-five years of married life she
. gave birth to eight children. The old
lady says she thinks she will live to see
b.3i 125th.

stitute preparation when a customer calls
for Hood's Sarsaparilla. Do not allow
any such false statements as this induce
you to buy what you do not want. Re

it is that a few eents more profit will be

A FEMININE LESSON THAT A YOCSO HUS
BAND WILL ALWAYS RKMEHI1KR.
The other evening a fellow was waiting
for the suburban gates at the Northwestern
depot to open. He was a respectable mar
ried man from Irving Park, but he had al
ways prided himself on his eye for female
beauty. He wouldn't have anything to do
with really fast women, and always thought
of them with a species of disgust. Hut
here, at the side of the baggage room door,
was a demure little woman, pretty as a
peach and with a form fairly glorious. He
had missed his regular train and would
have nearly half an hour to wait. At
another time he would have gone away and
transacted some busines in the nieautime,
but here wusun opportunity not often to
be met. He would make a "mash." He
walked past her two or three times and
convinced himself she was willing to pick
up a flirtation. As ho walked past her
one time his heart gave a great thump, for
he thought she came just to the point of
speaking to him. Neit time he came along
he stopped a trifle behind her, and said,
low, so that the baggageman could not
hear
"Evening, little one."
His head was in a whirl. He had insult
ed many a woman with his eyes, but here
was the first time he had attempted to com
plete the outrage. She turned about slow
ly, met his eyes without a tremor and
waited. He didn't know what to do. The
muscles of his face refused to manufacture
a smile. He was conscious of a twitching,
an embarrassed look, n guilty blush. He
struggled a moment under the cool chall
enge of that superb being and then he start
ed to turn away, for a group of men and
women had come clattering and laughing
down the iron stairs, and he recognized
some Irving Park and Des Plaines peo
ple. But he had no time to escape.
The pretty girl caught him aod held
him and nailed his shame upon him, and
she did it without for an instant appear
ing anything other than the lady she
must have been:
"Hereafter when you don't want any
thing, don't say anything. Married men
sjuictimes think themselves irresistible
because they once fooled one good wo
man." The chattering, laughing group stopped
at the foot of the iron stairway, caught
the tableau, almost pitied him in the
painful confusion and then permitted
him to escape from the depot. He wait
ed for the last train home that night and
never again attempted to pick np an ac
quaintance with a handsome woman.

The Surest Remedy
For indigestion, costiveness, and sick-headache is Ayer's Pills.
The harsh, drastic purgatives, once deemed indispensable to
a "thorough cleaning out" of the system, have given place
to milder and more skilfully-prepared laxatives. Foremost
among these are Ayer's Pilla. Being composed of the essential
principles of the most effective cathartics, without calomel
or any other injurious drug, no ill effects ever follow their use.
For this reason, these Pills are everywhere recommended as
the best family medicine. Their sugar-coating makes them easy
to take, and preserves their medicinal strength in any climate
and for an indefinite length of time.
" I was a sufferer, for years, from chronic
dyspepsia and liver troubles, ami found
no permanent relief until I commenced
taking Ayer's Pills. They have ellectcit
a complete cure." G. V. Mooney, Walla
Walla. W. T.
" i was master of a sailing vessel tor a I
number of years, and never failed to pro-1
vide a good supply of Ayer's Mils, for t lie 1
use of both officers and men. They are a i
safe and reliable cathartic, and always e
satisfaction." II. Robinson, 'tl E. Pearl at., j
Kair Haven, Conn.
Bilious
" During several months past I have been
subject to attacks of bad headache, without
being able to remove the trouble by medical
treatment. In looking through Ayer's Al
manac I read the statements of persons
cured of similar attacks by the use of Ayer's
Cathartic rills, and was Induced to give
them a trial. They Iiave beneliUsI me so
much that I consider it my duty to mention
my case to yon for the benefit of others."
Mrs. Mary (iuymond, Flint Village, Fall
Jtiver, Mass.
" I have now used Ayer's Pills la my fami
ly for seven or eight years. Whenever I
have an attack of headache, to which I am
very subject, I take a dose of Ayer's Pills
and am always promptly relieved. I find
them equally beneficial In colds ; and, in my
family, they are used for bilious complaints
and other disturbances with such good effect
that we rarely, if ever, have to call in a phy
sician." II. Voullieme, Hotel Voullieme,
Saratoga Springs, X. Y.

In 1RV. by the advice of a friend, I began
the use of Ayer's Pills as a remedy for bil
iousness, constipation, IiikIi levins, and colds.
They served me better than anything I had
previously tried, and I have used them in
attacks of that sort ever since." II. W.
Hersh, Judsonia. Ark.
' For years I have been subject to consti
pation and nervous headache, caused by
derangement of the liver. After taking vari
ous remedies, 1 have become convinced that
Ayer's Pills are the best. They have never
failed to relieve my
Attacks
In a short time; and I am sure my system
retains its tone longer after the use of these
Fills, than has been the case with any other
medicine I have ever tried." H. 8. Sledge,
Weimar, Texas.
" For a long time I was a sufferer from
stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, experi
encing much difficulty iu digestion, with
severe pains in the lumbar regions and other
parts of the body. Having tried a variety of
remedies, including warm baths, with only
temporary relief, about three months ago I
began the use of Ayer's Fills, and already
my health is so much improved that I
gladly testify to the superior merits of this
medicine." Manocl Jorge Tereira, Oporto,
Portugal.
" I have used Ayer's Fills for the past
thirty years and consider them an invaluable
family medicine. I Know of no better rem
edy for liver troubles, and have always found
them a prompt cure for dyspepsia." James
