Every man watches his balance in the bank, and his balance in his cash account, pretty closely. There is an- Mother ledger account ee that the average man entirely forgets to his own undoing. It is his _account with death. It t than a ‘‘ profit and loss” account, for its a ‘life and death’’ account. It is a man’s duty to himself and family to look up this account once every day and see that the balance is on the right side. It doesn’t pay to let this account run on, and have it debited with indigestion, and

then impure blood, and finally nervous ex- hau or prostration, or deadly con- camentien. When these diseases come it

means a debit balance with death brought down in the blood red ink of another life sacrificed on the altar of foolish overwork and neglect of health. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery makes the a ppetite keen, the digestion perfec the blood pure. It is the great blood-maker, flesh-builder and health-forger. It makes firm, healthy flesh, but does not produce corpulence or raise the weight above na- ture’s normal. It cures 95 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchial, throat and catarrhal affections. Honest dealers don’t urge substitutes.

“My wife had suffered for seven years with dyspepsia, sick headache and costiveness,’’ writes Mr. Alonzo D. Jameson, of Dunbarton, Merri- mack Co., N. H. We tried many dectors and many kinds of medicine, but all were of no avail. We purchased six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which together with the ‘ Pleasant Pellets,’ has entirely restored my wife’s health. Wecannot sa enough to you in thanks for these valuable medicines.”’

A Mean Interruption,

It happened at about 8 o’clock in the evening, just under the Betz building. It has often been remarked that a crowd is the best place in the world in which to make love, and the saunterer had ample opportunity to verify the remark at the place and time men: tioned.

He was a tall, fair young man, with somewhat scanty hair of a dark au- burn shade, and a jolly, good humored face and wholesome laugh that would attract any girl. She was a pretty lit- tle dark thing, with a sort of clinging manner, eminently prepossessing. She was dressed in some soft stuff of dark blue with white dots all over it, and they appeared to be saying goodby.

So completely absorbed were they in each other that they were entirely ob- livious to the fact that they were being watched. Indeed not one of the thou- sands of sightseers who passed them failed to turn and smile. They made 4 striking picture.

He was just on the point, for the twentieth time, of releasing her hand when another thought struck him, and he raised his hat, exposing his some- what thinly covered head, and bent so low over the little hand that the on- lookers evidently thought he was going to kiss it. Whether he would have or whether she would have let him will never be decided, for a small boy, who had been intently watching the whole performance, exclaimed amid the laughter of the crowd:

“Ah, why don’t you marry the girl?”

And the pair incontinently fled.— Philadelphia [uquirer.
