A teacher asked her class to draw a
picture of that which they wished to be

diligently to work with paper and pen
cil. some drawing pictures of soldiers,
policemen, fine ladles and so forth.
They all worked hard, except one little
girl, who sat quietly holding her pad
and pencil In her hand. The teacher
observing her, asked: ' Don't you know
what you want to be when you grow up,
Anna?" "Yes, I know," replied the
little girl, "but I don't know how to
draw It. I want to be married."

N Advantage of
Fastidious Smoking.
(Original.]
I was traveling hi France In a rail
way train shut up In a compartment
with but one persou besides myself, a
woman. I am an inveterate smoker,
ami It occurred to me that perhaps the
lady would not object to my lighting
a cigar. I asked her permission, she
assented graciously, aud, taking one
from ray cigar case, I lighted It. It
was a long cigar, pointed at both ends,
and remarkably well made. I mention
tli is because if it had been loosely
wrapped probably there would be noth
ing of especial interest in this story.
As I began to puff composedly I drew
from my pocket a morning paper and
commenced to read.
"I envy you your solace, monsieur,"
the lady remarked. "Traveling is dull,
and wo women have no such way of
passing the time."
I lowered my paper and for the first
time took a look at her. She was pass
ably good looking, conyiaratlvely youug
aud very well dressed. Since she had
been so good as to permit me to suioke
I considered it only fair thnt I should
take her hint and relieve her enuui by
chattiug with her. I was aware that
the day of making acquaintances In
this way even In America had passed,
and eveu there It had never been usual
for the woman to take the initiath'p.
but my companion looked bored, and I
attributed her desire simply to be tem
porarily amused.
I tested her on different topics and
soon found that she was most Interest
ed in pleasures? exciting pleasures,
such as tlie theater aud the race course.
She preferred, however, to talk of nov
els and evinced an especial interest in
those of Eralle Zola. Indeed, she con
versed about the characters in those
unconventional romances with a free
dom that arrested my attention. And I
It seemed to me that the more uncon
ventional the characters the better she
liked them. Finally, taking the latest
of Zola's stories published from her I
traveling bag, she opeued it at a cer- I
tain page aud asked me to sit beside
her and read a passage, giving as an I
excuse for not doing so herself that
she was a very poor reader.
"Pardon me," I said. "I am smoking. I
The fumes would be unpleasant to I
you."
"Not at all. I love them."
"But," I protested, "you see that the
ash on my cigar is very long. If I
should move it would fall. Now, 1 am
fastidious about my smoking. I love n
freshly lighted cigar, aud so long aw
the ash remains In its place the cigar
seems as it was at the 'first touch of
the match. Indeed, It tastes the same.
But once knock off the ash and the
cigar Is but a stump, the smoke gets
In my eyes and? well, it is not the
same by any means."
To tell the truth, this was but an ex
cuse. I had come to suspect the lady
to be an adventuress and did not look
with complacency upon being shut up
alone, with her. She seemed to discern
from my refusal to sit by her that I
had my suspicions and, Instead of at
tempting to allay them, began to work
upon my fears. ?
"A man who scorns a lady's ad
vances should be made to pay for his
rudeness," she said sharply. %
I considered this a threat, and to dls
play an unconcern I did not feel I re
sumed my paper. Indeed, there was
nothing else for me to do. I felt sure
that the woman would spring a trap
on me for the purpose of extorting
blackmail, and I saw before me a seri
ous complication, a possible arrest aud
Imprisonment. But the more inward
trepidation I felt the more outward
cooluess I showed. 1 concentrated my
attention upou maintaining the ash on
the end of my cigar. Every time I re
moved the oiffar from between my lips
and put it back I did so with the ut
most care. Presently the woman took
out her watch and looked at it.
"We will reach the station at X. in
five minutes." she said. "I need 500
francs. Choose between giving them
to me or an arrest ou a charge of as
sault when the train stops."
HatLshe been willing to settle for a
napoleon I would not have yielded. 1
consider it demeaning In any man to
pay blackmail. It may or may not
bevconimou sense, but I do not believe
In making a beginning in that direc
tion. I gave the woman no reply, but
continued to appear interested in keep
ing the ash on the cud of my cigar.
Finally the houses by the way grew
thicker, and the train slowed down.
"I'll settle for 1,000 francs," said the
woman. "In one minute more my
price will be 1,000." At the same time
she began to pull her apparel awry to
indicate that she had been through a
struggle.
I smoked on.
In another minute the train pulled up
at the station. The woman ^>ut her
head out of the window and shrieked
for the guard. lie came, followed by
officials and curious people, aud drew
open the door.
"This brute has assaulted ine," said
the woman. "Arrest him."
The guard and his followers all lev
eled their eyes at me. Taking what
little remained of my cigar from my
mouth, I extended it slowly toward
the crowd on the platform.
"Could a man," I said, "interfere
with any one and keep an ash like that
on tho end of a cigar?"
As I spoke tho woman, upon whom
flashed the reverse of the situation sho
had planned, brushed against me,
slightly shaking me. The ash fell on
the car floor.
There was a shout of derisive laugh
ter at the woman, whose position was
made the more absurd by the condition
of her clothing.

W. H. Wood of 250 cottage St., Sa
lsm. Ore., says: ''A good mauy years
ago I got badly kicked by a mule right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in ou me
also injuring my back. Since then I
have had more or less annoyance from
my Kidneys. Change of weatber caused
my back to ache and when I worked
hard it became so lame that I could
hardly straighten up after stooping. I
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug
store and since taking them, although
I have continued to work hard and be
exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my forme
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidnoy Pills act up to
representations made of them. I also
know of other people who hive derived
grea? benefit from their use. I am glad
to lot others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills for backache and kidney

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to bo incurable.
For a great many years dootors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedic., and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. H*H's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by P. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on tho blood

case it to cure. Send for circular
