MARK HANNA’S COURTSHII
How, When a Young Grocer, K
Wooed and Won the Daughter
of Daniel Rhodes.
Nearly 33 years ago Mark Hanoi
was just starting on his business ca
reer as a grocer In Cleveland. H
was poor, plodding, and to the casua
observer a very every-day sort of younj
man, says the Pittsburg Dispatch
Daniel Rhodes was one of the rlcl
coal owners of the state. He had on<
daughter, Gussie, the very idol of hi;
soul. Around this lovely girl thi
brusque old father had wreathed al
the sentiment, all the hopes of his fu
ture existence. Everything was to b<
done for Gussie. Mrs. Rhodes, he;
fond mother, was a joint idolator a
the daughter’s shrine, and the dotinj
parents had dreams of a rich, influen
tial suitor, a splendid marriage and i
brilliant social career for Gussie
when, as usual, the unexpected hap
pened. Gussie Rhodes met and lovec
the obscure, poor young man, Marl
Hanna. Mr. Rhodes was astoundec
when the daring young grocer callec
upon him and asked for the hand of hit
daughter. He refused absolutely t<
grant the young suitor even time
enough to beg. He said “no” curtl]
and sharply, and when he saw hi:
daughter he tried to scold her, but in
stead he took her in his honest armi
and begged her not to think of “tbli
unknown man, Hanna." He said hi
never, never could consent to such i
choice for his child.
Gussie Rhodes told her father, wltl
many a reassuring embrace, that shi
would never marry without his con
sent, and she added: “But, papa dear
I shall never marry any man but Marli
Hanna.”
Then she promised her father not tc
see her lover or write to him for a
fear at least. She kept her promise,
and in the course of a few weeks, ah
though she never audibly murmured,
and was sweetly gentle and loving tc
all oKnill Tvaw eVia mtAwr nnln nn4 ■■■><* —
She neither ate no slept The old fa
(her was at his wit’s end. Some one
proposed a foreign tour for that change
Df scene which is supposed to work
wonders In heart affections, and,
presto at a few hours’ notice, father,
mother and daughter were on board
tn Atlantic liner.
For nearly a year the “change of
icene" prescription was faithfully pur
tued and the patient always cheerfully
submissive, gentle and charming, ob
viously grew frailer day by day. Al
most in despair the old man brought
bis child home again and one morn
ing he gathered the courage to ask
lier if she till cared for Mark Hanna.
“Why, father," she replied. “I shall
Mways love Mark; I told you that
rou know, a year ago."
Poor old “Uncle Dan" Rhodes! That
was a bitter day for him, but he was
►qual to the occasion. Sending for the
tbscure young man, he said to him:
“Mr. Hanna, Gussie loves you, that is
ny only reason for accepting you as
ler future husband. You are poor, [’ll
lx it so Gussie can live as she has
teen accustomed to and I suppose I
nast see yeu marry her."
Now the coming young man cast ever
>o slight a shadow of his future great
less on the opportunity of the present.
“Mr. Rhodes ” said he, “1 most grate
!ui.*y accept the gift of your daughter’s
love. To marry her is for this world to
become a paradise for me, but I cannot
make her my wife unless she will be
content to live as my means will enable
nS. [ can neither accept aid nor per
mit my wife to accept it from any
one.”
So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhodes
were married, and the bride went from
her father’s big house to live in a tiny
little cottage, where with one maid of
all work, she was as happy as a queen
for some years.
LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
| the American in That Country Soon
Becomes Conscious of Its
Restrictions.
What Is It, at bottom, that makes
the English atmosphere so difficult
for an American to breathe in freely?
It is, l believe, that he feels himself
in a country where the dignity of life
Is lower than in his own; a country
where a man born in ordinary cir
cumstances expects, and is expected, to
die in ordinary circumstances; where
the scope of his efforts is traced be
forehand by the accident of position;
where he is handicapped in all cases
and crushed in most by the superin
cumbent weight of caste, convention,
“good form" and the deadening artifi
cialities of an old society, comments a
Writer in the North American Review.
That unconquerable buoyancy which
infects the American air like a sting
and challenge, and braces every Ameri
can with the inspiration that he has a
Chance In life; that there are open op
portunities, unreserved possibilities,
no battering at locked doors, no floun
dering in blank alleys; that here, in
short, it is the man himself who
makes his career—is sometniog which
the English have so utterly lost as ta
be incapable of realizing it_
For Purifying Air.

■ Rheumatism
Like Neuralgia, is now known
to be a nervous disease. The
k kidneys become weak through
lack of nerve energy, and fail
| to filter the uric acid from the
, blood; this acid attacks and
| burns the nerves and muscles,
, and consumes the oil in the
> joints, producing inflammation,
i fever, swelling—pain.
To cure Rheumatism, then,
1 you must restore the kidney
| nerves and muscles, and neu
. tralize the effect of the acid
; upon the joints and tissues
;| with Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine, a nerve medicine,
i which has made many cures of
> this painful disease. Nervine
strengthens the kidney nerves
| and increases the circulation,
i and relief is assured.
“Before I took Dr. Miles’ Nervine,
I had been looking for a cure for
I Rheumatism for 25 years. The last
time I was laid up for several months,
1 could not get out of bed or set foot
l on the floor. I tried remedies to rub
in, to drink, doctors' prescriptions,
etc., but none of them had any effect.
I One day I read about Dr. Miles’
Nervine and got a bottle. After the
first dose I had a good night’s rest,
I and after taking half a bottle the
pains disappeared, and I went out and
1 walked all around the town. In a week
i I went to work, and was perfectly
cured, but continued to take the
■ medicine for a time, to make sure the
pains would not come back.”
