| Well Dressed Children Where Diamond Dyes are Used,
Mothers who wish to save money, and who are economical in home management are not obliged to buy clothing for their children as frequent!y as some mothers do. This saving of money is due to the fact that the economical mothers are regular users of the wonderful Diamond Dyes i}. ° always make old things look as goui s new.
The Diamond Dyes show fuch a variety of standard colors that mothers can now dye any of the fashionable colors and shades seen in the new autumn dress goods. At the very smal! cost of ten cents an old dress can be made stylish looking and serviceable for a long time.
If mothers would haye success with home dyeing they must use the Diamond Dyes at all times. All imitation and mixtures of soap and coloring matter should be avoided with care, as they are runious to good materials; Diamond Dyes are the best in the world, they are pure, brilliant aod last forever .

I tried al) the doctors in this section of the country, but they failed to give me relief. A local druggist recommended Dr. Agnew’s Cure for the Heart. I tried it, and with the result that I immediately: secured ease I did not know before, and after taking further doses of the medicine the trouble altogether left me. Itis notto much to say that it saved my life.” Sold by Dr. 8. W. Dodd and Geo. E. Hughes,

THE RETIRED BURGLAR RELATES AN } |

A CASE OF INSOMNIA.
INTERESTING EXPERIENCE,
How He Came to Eat Roasted Oysters With a Gentleman Who Couldn't S!cep. He Didn't Make a Cent, but Enjoyed the
Rest and Had a Pleasant Visit.
**f found the dining room of a house that I was looking over one night,”’ said the retired burglar, ‘‘filled with a glow of iight froma bright hard coal fire burping in a grate at one end of the room. There was just a little bit of gas burning from one burner, but it only mace alittle yellow tip in the redder glow from the fire. About half the ta- ble was covered with a folded white ta- blecloth, clean and thick and with the creases still in it. On this cloth there
| were a plate and a plate of bread and
some butter and vinegar and catchup and thiugs lixe that, and on the other end of the table that wasn’t covered, the end nearest the fire, there was an old fashioned square tea tray with the japanning pretty much all worn off. Looking down by the fire, X saw on one side of the hearth a half bushel basket pretty near full of big selected oysters, pretty uniform in size and laid in care- fully with the round shell down.
‘‘It was a winter night, coider’n Greenland outside, and this room was just as comfortable as it could be, and that layout did lock inviting, and I couldn’t even guess who it was for, be- cause the house was shut up tighter’n a drum—evidently nobody expected and nobody sitting »p. But while I was standing there wondering over it I hcard a door open—the one next to the ane I'd come in at—-and in comes a man that locks at me for a minute and says:
‘**This is an unexpected pleasure.’
‘‘And I says it is to me, too, looking at him atthe same time and seeing a man maybe a little bigger’n myseif and perfectly resolute and capable and able to take care of himself.
‘**But sit down,’ he says, ‘and eat something with me. You'll find an- other oyster knife in the left hand side of the right hand drawer of that side- board right back of you.’ And there it was, and when I turned around again the man was putting oysters on the fire in the grate. Five minutes later he was picking ’em up with a pair of tongs an laying ‘em carefully, round shell down, on the old tea tray. ‘Now, will you just help yourself?’ he says.
***You do this very often?’ I says.
‘** Well, no, I don’t,’ he says, ‘and I shouldn't do it at all if I could help it, but I suffer from insomnia, and I find that when I can’t sleep a little snack of soniething to eat makes me sleep. I can tell generally before I go to bed the nights when I ain't going to sleep, and such nights I have ’em fix up some: hing to eat in case I should need it, and then I come down and find it, like this, and eating something sort of tramquilizes my mind, andI go back to bed and go tw sleep all right.’
‘‘Ffe pushed the top shell off an oyster in front of him over on to the tray aad put alittle bit of a scrap of butter on the oyster and looked at it dissalve a minute, and then he put on just one drop of pepper sauce, turned the oyster over in the deep shell so as to get the cry top side into the oyster juice and
melted butter, and then he ate it. i ben-
he dipped a little hunk of bread into the juice in the deep shell and ate that, ard then he pushed the empty she]! out of the way on the tray and took ancorher oyster eff the fire with the tongs and began on that.
‘“Darned if Icould see how a mon that enjoyed eating as much as he cid could ever bother about anything, lut he did, all the same, that was plain, or he wouldn’t have been there.
‘**T don’t suppose,’ he says, ‘that you ever suffer from insomnia, and if you did it wouldn’t make any difer- ence, because you want to be wide awake nights in your business, eh?’ And he seemed to think this wasa pretty «lick little sort of a joke. ThenI told him how I came to go into the busincss; that when I ~wasa i man lI had been a great sufferer from insomnia mj- self; that in those days there were not nearly so many night occupations to choose from as now, and that my « oice was limited; that 1 had not folluwed burglary from inclination, but that I was compelled to do something for a living, and burglary was the only night work I could get at the time, and that’s how I came to take it up as a business.
‘**You don’t mean it,’ he says. ‘Put on the blower and start up the fire a little. If I’d ha’ known you were com- ing I'd had another basket.’
‘* Well, we finished ’cm up, and I says to him: ‘What do you think; think you can sleep now?’ And he said he thought he could. And he let me out the front door and went to bed, I sup- pose. I know I went hame myself feel- ing comfortable. I hadn’t made a cent, jut it’s a good thing to take a rest now and then, and I always did like roast oysters. ’’—New York Sun.
