Whenever there It trouble end I
can’t give relief or rein'd)', It distress
e* me. especially when the (rouble fa of
a domestic chancier. Npw here Is a
letter from a mao wbu safe, "I ktiuw
a man- -a neighbor —who Is of a warm.
Affectionate, passionate nature and
lores his wlfo to distraction, but she
la calm and oold and conservative by
nature and, therefore. Indifferent to
hie caresses, and whenever lie ventures
to klaa her and pots hit arms about her
aba repels him with such expressions
as. ‘Ob, Tom, gat sway; don’t bother
me.' Sbe is a purs, good woman anJ
loves Lev husband in ber way, but sbe
never meets him at the door wlwu be
comes boms tired or disappointed with
bis day's work. Tbs pour fellow It
really pining away and languishing fot
lsek of love—for reciprocity, as It were,
and can’t get It. Now, wbat U the
remedy? Can’t you bring your uni
versal philosophy to bear upon tins
case and solve the problem ?”
No, 1 cannot. I am helpless. Noth
ing but time will equallxa and barreou
Ize that ooople. I am afield their un
ion was a mla<H. but he look her for
better or worse sad mast be reoonotled.
Ia fact be ought to bs thankful In
these degenerate days that ha lias found
a purs, good womau, even U she Is not
aa tumultuous in ber love aa Its woald
tike bar to be. But lime la a good doc
tor. Time will usuas btm down
sume and will tone ber up some, for a
man and his wife gat m >ra and more
silk# as the years roll on. There were
aoma good friends at my iionse last
night sad 1 seriously read to them this
letter aud asked for advice about un
*werlng it. They all agreed that the
man was not writing about bla neigh
bor, but was relating bla own pitiful
condition.
A. married man aald, “Write blm to
get away and quit bothering ber when
•be aaya to."
A bachelor friend aald, write Ulm to
flirt a little with another ain't wife
and abe will corn* to Iter aeoiea might?
quick and return till careaaea ”
“That la ail you know about It," aald
another dame- “The flirtations of a
hue baud deetroy lore and bappioeos,
too. They are more apt to bring con
tempt and e?en acorn. A troa woman
will euffer and endure any fault or fall
ing exoept that.”
A young married woman aald timid
ly, “ate muat be a eery atrange kind of
a woman not to like eareealng, but l
do think abe ought to meet him at tba
door end glee blm a amtle or two when
be cornea borne.''
“He muat be a right good mao and
I am lorry for lilrn,’’ Mid a laule In
liar teeoa, or may be be la ao horrid
coarae and ugly that no aelf-reepectlng
woman would want him bothering her
for kiaaea aud careaaea eyery time he
came about,’’ (aid a laaaie out of her
teeoa.
“ktaylie be imoked and bii breath
wae die agreeable,” aald a benedict who
no»ee uaed tobacco.
So I got but little comfort from ibie
goodly corn pan >\aod my wife contin
ued the dteoourae by remarking In her
quiet way, “Well, I think your friend
bad better have kept bla mi aery to blm
■elf. Let blm etlck to the promlaea
that be made at tba altar.”
“Or apply for a writ of mandama*
and make ber klae him eocordiog to
law,” aald a learned judge who wma
praaeot. “X would make ber recipro
cate If the com wea In my coort. The
writ of oindiou U a far-rcachlog and
effectual prooeaa”
WeU, of course Uie conversation
drifted to the topio of Me; end Deoem
her marriage*, with groom* of more
tUan three aeore and ten mod bride* of
tender year*. We all agreed that If
•ueb a groom had anything to I aura
aoefa a bride betides hU name and
would depart this life le a reasonable
time, tbe was justified in marrying
him. lint in tbe Brat place tbe proper
ty ahould be lo tight the "mild n
quo” and It ahould be fixed, aettied,
dowered, dovetailed, clinched opoo
her. and there •book) be an implied
ooc tract that he ahould die in eirtci
acoordence with tbe death rate, the
expect at ion laid down Id tbe life In
surance table*. Indeed, If the late fre
quency of old men marry lug young wo
men la to be maK!piled to aa alarmlog
extent, there ahould be ratebliibed e
death insurance office to that tbe yonug
girl could go to it aod get d policy In
juring the eld man"* death In a limited
time, and If he didn't die within the
time, tbe company ahould pay her so
much aa the Iniurvd for—say id.900 or
$10,000 or $80,000, aa tbe case may ba.
With the money the could live decent
ly and even secure a divorce on the
ground of fraud—fraud In not dying
according to hup* and expectation and
an Implied promise. Why, T know a
lady who married an old mac Iwenty
atgbt year* age. II* was slaty and she
bat twenty end as aweet end pretty as
a oink. Ha waa rich and sickly and
agreed to settle on bar $B0,Uj0, to be
paid at bte death. He looked lika he
would die lo a year, but, bl*e* your

WE ARE RIGHT IN LINE
With New Goods for the Fall Trade at Low Prices
That Cling to Your Memory.
Prices That Are Continually Bobbing
up, Prices That Just Won’t be
Forgotten.
THAT’S THE REASON WE HAVE SO MUCH
TRADE. People are continually finding out what a
good stock we keep. Besides, we know how and where
to buy, and this helps to make our prices the lowest.
We are packed to the loft in every department.
GRAY & LOVE.
Millinery Department.
All the newest and latest fads of fashion. Never be
fore have we had such a display in Millinery. Birds of
Paradise are as numerous in oar Trimming Department
as sparrows in the trees. In fact, we think pattern hats
and shape* came from the some locality.
It was certainly a divinely given talent that
concaved the thousand and one beautiful
styles, combiuing and blending alt the
lovely color* that go to make up woman's hats this
fall. And ours are basement prices, too.
Dress Goods Department
Rich and Rare Beauty prevails in this department.
Our claim of ever keeping abreast of vogue in show
ing the always black fabrics is freely allowed by all
who make comparison of style and qualities. We are
* ik)w displaying the new and staple fabrics in rough
and smooth effects at prices that cannot fail to make
them quick sellers.
Clothing Department.
Neat, Nobby and Good Fit Think of it I Thous
and* of dollar* worth of new Clothing piled up on the
upper door. No room for any more. AU bought be
fore the tariff biU passed. Old prices prevail as long
as they last.
Shoe Department.
Just for one moment, please. We feel confi
dent that we are doing the shoe business of
this section and we have lost no time in trying
to pot our Shoe Department in the front rank.
Wlial a joy and comfort to many a weary foot would
be a pair of the noted Hamiljpo and Brown 8hoes !
Underwear Department.
There is a crispness in the «ir that heralds
the approach of Winter. Time to change
summer under garments for the wanner
kind. This department has never before
been so complete with us. Special pains have been
taken to suit all—Men, Ladies, Misses, Roy a and Chil
dren, and our prices are clever.
The Spirit of Honest Business
is without caste, class, or condition. It is everything for every
body. It gratifies the wealthy and gladdens the wage-earner.
Honest merchandising goes on forever for all We proffer noth
ing unBuited to immediate usefulness. These values have a
specific identity with your present needs. It will pay you at
least to interview them before spending your money elsewhere.
