HERE had been whist that evening at the club, and, incidentally, there had been cham- pagne. There were now cigars and conversation. The meeting had been a thorough success, BO in consequence the members of the Columbian were in high feather. The club was only a year old and each new success meant another weight thrown on the side of popu- larity and permanence. So the conversation had in it some of the spirit of the lively young men. \By Jove,\ said Morris Habberton, \this is what I call real joy of life. A fellow attends to his business during the day and feels that he deserves a rest at night. So he hies him to the club, where there are cards, cigars, con- genial fellows and a harmless glass.\ \Nothing like it,\ said old Hobbs, who was gray as to the fringes of his bald pate, but had left the \Bachelors\ because, as he explained it, \the fellows were getting old and grumpy.\ \There's always a glow about the very appearance of the club entrance to me,\ said Habberton. \Oh we know that's champagne talking, but the vintage seems to have the knack of uttering the truth to- night.\ This was Lewis Mortimer's contri- bution to the general talk. \Vintage be hanged!\ exclaimed the first speaker, turning on him in mock fury. But old Hobbs interrupted him with: \Don't hang the vintage now, my dear boy, and don't on your life underrate its power and influence.\ \I don't, but my words are the words of sane and sober truth. I say and I maintain and I reiterate that there is a warmth and genial glow about the very entrance to these rooms.\ \He waxeth oratorical,\ mocked Mortimer. \Contrast went on Habberton, with- out deigning to notice the interruption, \this home -coming with the home -com- ing of a fellow who is married to a woman.\ \Or one of these 'new women.'\ from Hensingten. who had not before joined in the conversation. \Ali now you are talking sense,\ said old IIobbs, rubbing his hands glee- fully. \It is the advent of the new woman that Is keeping so many inno- cent, eligible and worthy men from , matrimony.\ \How do you know?\ interrupted Mortimer, with especial stress on the \you.\ Some one threw an almanac at him and old Hobbs remarked that he hated \weak attempts at sarcasm.\ Reginald Vertress was a known and reputed lady's man, so nobody paid much attention when he observed, 1 rather tentatively: \Oh I haven't much faith in all this talk about the new woman, anyway. If you'll believe me, she's only the same dear creature with the addition of a bicycle, big sleeves Nei.) , drivers fare like noisy wagons—both empty.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the v v transient nature of the ninny phys- ical ills which vanish before primer ef- forts—gentle efforts-- pleasant is ffort rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of aheiness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, w h hit t he pleasant family laxative, Syrap of law:, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value ,good health. Its beneficial effects lire due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which protrudes internal cleanliness, without. deldlifaiing the organs on whieli it a.ets. It is therefore all important„ in order to get its bee,- ficial effects, to note wlien you pur- ehrtfte, that you liftVe 11)0 Verittinr 8rt.t.•10, which is manufriet nred lv II,' - Cal ifornia Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep- utable druggists.

Q. P. U.\ \Well whatever :nay he said,\ went on Habherton (he had drunk consid- erable champagne), \the new woman Is a painful reality. Wo hate to admit her presence, but she 1.1 here, though we hope not to stay.\ \Pray forbear,\ exclaimed the irre- pressible Mortimer. \Who knows but some of oer number have formed 'en- tangling alliances' w'th new women who make political speeches and head petitioning conventions?\ \May gracious heaven forbid!\ re- sponded Habberton, in such a tone of mock tragedy that the whole company burst into peals of rollicking laughter. Three was one young man who had not joined in tho conversation and who did not join in the laugh. This was Tom Agnew. He sat smoking in an obscure corner, and his face fleshed at the last words of Hab- berton and Mortimer and the laugh which greeted them. As seen as con- venience would allow, he arose and slipped away. Ili his mine a strange fight was taking place between resentment, love and fear of ridicule. He felt that in Lewis Morttmer's last remarks there had been a veiled allu- sion to himself, though his engagement to Helen Clayburn was supposed to he a serape Helen he knew to he a bailer in the work of women, and he grew angry with himself, with her and with his companions when he thought that she might be included in the category of \new woman.\ A man in. not always reaserlable slier champagne and a long game of whist. So in his unreason Toni Agnew wrote a letter thet night which in his saner moments he would not have been guilty of penning. And the next morning Helen (lay - burn received it jest as she was going net to attend a meeting of the Kinder- garten assorifit ion \Why. it's a letter from Tom,\ shn said. \I womb 1 Ic Is in haste to go away, that he writes •• And she tore It open. It WAS not very long and as she read it she grew white and trem- bled a little. But Helen Clayburn wa.s a very sensible girl. She handed the letter to her mother, saying: . \Something has gone wrong to vex Tom. He should have come to me in- stead of writing. I will wait for him to come to his senses.\ She read a paper that morning be- fore the association and the ladies said of it: \The paper was excellent, but don't you think its value was much added to by her manner of reading? It Was read with such spirit.\ When she came home from the asso- ciation Helen Clayburn read Tom Ag- new's letter again and cried a little bit as she laid it down. • \'lie cannot beconie the laughing steck of men by marrying a girl whose actions place her unmistakab:y in the ranks of that very undesirable creature, the new woman.' Who has been talk- ing to him and what have I done ex- cept take an interest in what should engage the attention of every true wom- an? Tom, Tom, I love you, but you must—you must come to yourself.\ And she did not answer the letter. Three weeks passed and Tom Agnew grew uneasy. Why had Helen not written? He had expected a letter from her before this. He hoped he had said nothing which she might construe into a -desire on his part to break their en- gagement. He had not meant to go so far as that. Ile was at the club one night again, and in the meantime an election had taken place. There were only cigars on this night. There had been no whist, no cham- pagne. \It is wonderful what a triumph .we have in electing pure and worthy men to take charge of our school interests,\ said Morris Habberton, seriously. \Yes we,\ sneered Lewis Mortimer. \Betsey and I, we killed a bear, didn't we? What are you talking about? It was the women who did it. They worked before election and then went up to the polls like—ahem—men.\ \Well I have no objection to that. I don't want to rob them of their credit. All honor to the women who rid us of boodlers and incompetents.\ \They acted nobly,\ chimed in old Hobbs, \but much was due to the splen- did leadership and wonderful genius for organization of that Miss Clayburn. She is Indeed a great girl. You know her, Agnew, don't you?\ \Ah yes, yes, of course,\ stammered Tom. \Well we'll expect you to see that she is one of the patronesses on 'ladies' day'.\ . As soon as Tom could get out he hur- ried away, mentally kicking himself for a weak fool. And he called himself by no milder name when he found Helen Clayburn at home a half-hour later. He ex- plained it all to her, not for a moment sparing himself. \I said that something had happened to vex you,\ said Helen, \but oh, Tom! I knew you would come to your senses. But aren't you afraid of me as a new woman? Just think, Tom, I've been elected president of the Woman's So- cial Purity Club and won the annual medal for the best muffins at the cook- ing school. Isn't that ominous?\ There was a look in her eyes and a half -humorous little tremor in her voice that made him clasp her in his arms as ha Mid: \I don't care if you've been elected sheriff if you'll just forgive me and take me back to your heart again. I don't care how new a woman you are, just so you are mine.\ Mary's Calls. Mary trotted into a neighbor's house one morning last week, climbed up in- to an easy chair and settled herself for a talk. \I have been making calls,\ she announced. \I've been to Aunt Lucy's and Mrs. C.'s, and the Wes. I've been out ever since breakfast calling.\ Her hostess thought it wise to ask: \And does your mother know where you are, Mary?\ All the glow died out of her face. She pushed herself for- ward in her chair, with her finger to her lip. \Let—me—see she slowly mused. \I — guess — I — must — go — home—now.\ SCIATiC RHEUMATISM AND ITS CURE. From the Gazette, Burlington. Iowa. The story of Mr. Tabor's nearly fatal attack of sciatic rheumatism is familiar to his large circle of acquaintances, but for the benefit of others and those sim- ilarly afflicted The Gazette has investi- gated the matter for publication. Mr. Tabor is Secretary and Treasurer for the commercial Printing Company, with ern/vs in the Hedge Block, and re- sides at 417 Basset Street, Burlington, Iowa. A Gazette man sought an int , r - view with Mr. Tabor at his place of business to -day, and although he was busily engaged with imperalive duties. he talked freely and feelingly on the subject of his recent severe sickness and ! subsequent wonderful cure. \Yes said Mr. Tabor, can Israel) say that I am a well man, that Is, no, old trouble with rheumatism in:s en- tirely disappeared, but I am still taking Pink Pills and will keep on taking them as long as I continue to grow strew ger and healthier, as I have been every Osiy since I began to use them. You will E it wonder at my profound faith In t: • ' merits of Pink Pills after you have heard what I have to tell you. About one year ago I was stricken suddenly with sciatic rheumatism and was con- fined to my bed. It grew worse and rapidly assumed the form of Inflamma- tory rheumatism. 1 suffered constant and acute pains and all the tortures which that horrible disease is capable of inflicting. At length under the constant care Of a local physician I was enabled to return to my work, but only at inter- vals. Severe attacks would appear reg- ularly In my back and descend into my leg and foot, and threatened to make me a permanent cripple. I tried various remedies for rheumatism, but without any beneficial results. I grew pale,weak and haggard, and my family grew alarmed at my condition. • \About eight weeks ago my mother ‘Anduced me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and you know the result. Before I had used one box I felt greatly relieved and much stronger. I continued their use and improved rapid- ly. I have now taken eight boxes and feel like a new man and completely cured. In reply to Inquiries Mr. Henry, the druggist, stated that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were having a large sale, that it was particularly gratifying to him to know that the customers themselves were highly pleased with the benefits they had derived from their use; that many of them stated that the pills were the only medium that had done them any good; that they not only gave them quick relief but permanent bene- fit. That the pills do sell and that the pills do cure is a certainty. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a , condensed form, all the elements nec- essary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. Pink Pills are sold in boxes only at 50 cents a box or six boxer' for *2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. , NOTES.
