A neighborhocd naughty story
never receives its full significance
until it falls into the hands of a
dear, sweet, gospel-eyed married
woman on the caramel side of forty.
Femininity may be defined as the
art with which a woman graciously
permits aliapless man to apologize
to her for some ofienee of hers
against him.
Among the varied phenomena of
every day life, none exceed in
painiul intensity the endeavors of a
girl to keep step through the intric
aciea of a joke which has convulsed
her fiance.
The example of the ant as an ad
monition to the sluggard oflers no
such resources of spectacular insruc
tion as the fateful, noiseless celerity
of a marriageable girl who is camp
ing on some man's trail.
Little children and wotnan have
no little trouble they are all big
ones.
Some persons have minds, and
seme a thing to guess with; but it is
only a handsome woman who can
make shift without either.
Women never play in a game un
less there is another game under it.
Ladies fight with pretty words
that are full of fists.
Gospel will be a pretty word in a
woman's mouth when women can
distinguish between a pooa memory
and a clear conscience. Puck.

The preliminary trial shows some
provocation, but it will doubtless
prove a dear resentment. It is but
the sequel to clustering about these
bar-rooms, taking drinks and want

importance and a reckless vindica

should be heeded. Stay away from
such dens of crime.

Asheville, Oat 22.--Tne National
Bauk of A8heville has closed its
doors. This leaves but one - bank
here. As soon a the announcement
was circulated, a run was begun on
the Battel y Park Bank Up to 1
p. ro. more money had been taken la
than paid out. The Battery Park
Bank had $75,000 in cash at the last
showing.
The run on the Battery Park
. Bank e topped about M p. m., leaving
more money in the bank than when
it opened this morning.
The statement of the National
Bans, is to the effect that inability
to make collections was the cause of
the failure, and that it is probable
the assets will be sufficient to pay
all depositors.

A Complete Cure Effected by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Kow, Enjoying the Best of Healthy
With Digestion Perfect.
"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over a ear .
Sho was unable. to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat.' She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of . her
self. One day I-happened to read a tes
timonial about Hood's Sarsaparilla.- It
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition She no
longer threw up her food and Jaer: head
ache was not as Wvere.; She took In aU
four bottles, of Hood's Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hood's Pills and regained
Jier weight. - She ia now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion ia good .and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. -4 She
is 42 years old and says she feels as well
as when she was 16. Hood's Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure in her case." ,
