How Is
YourHeart?
Is your pulse weak, too slow,
too fast, or does it skip a beat?
Do you have shortness of
breath, weak or hungry spells,
fainting,smothering or choking
spells, palpitation, fluttering,
pains around the heart, in side
and shoulder; or hurt when
lying on left side? %
If you have any of these
symptoms your heart is weak
or diseased, and cannot get
better without assistance.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
strengthens weak hearts, and
rarely ever fails to cure heart
disease. Try it, and see how
quickly you will find relief.
“About January 1st, 1902, I took
down with weakness and dropsy,
and gradually grew worse. I was told
by my family physician that my case
was hopeless. My neighbors and fam
ily had given me up to die. My
limbs and body were swollen to one
third larger than normal size, and
water had collected around my heart.
For at least three months I had to sit
propped up in bed to keep from smoth
ering. I sent for five bottles of Dr.
Miles’ Heart Cure, and by the time I
had taken them all I was entirely
cured. I feel better than I have for
twenty years, and I am able to do
any kind of work on my farm. My
attending physician told me that if it
hadn’t been for Dr. Miles' Heart Curs
I would now be In my grave.’’

MARK HANNA’S CqpRTSHIP
How, When a Young Grocer, He
Wooed and Won the Daughter
of Daniel Rhodes.
Nearly 38 years ago Mark Hanna
wa3 Just starting on his business ca
reer as a grocer in Cleveland. He
was poor, plodding, and to the casual
observer a very every-day sort of young
man, .says ^the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Daniel Rhodes was one of the rich
coal owners of the state. He had one
aughter, Gussie, the very idol of his
thi3 lovely girl the
cl wreathed all
opes of his fu
pg was to be
bodes, her
idolator at
.'d the doting
rich, lnfluen
marrlage and a
career for Gussie,
ual, the unexpected hap
pened. Gussie Rhodes met and loved
the obscure, poor young man, Mark
Hanna. Mr. Rhodes was astounded
when the daring young grocer called
upon him and asked for the hand of his
(laughter. He refused absolutely to
grant the young suitor even time
enough to beg He sail "no" curtly
and sharply, and when he saw his
daughter he tried to scold her, but in
stead he took her in his honest arms
and begged her not to think of "this
unknown man, Hanna.” He said ho
never, never could consent to such a
choice for his child.
Gussie Rhodes told her father, with
many a reassuring embrace, that she
would never marry without his con
sent, and she added: “But, papa dear,
I shall never marry any man but Mark
Hanna.”
Then she promised her father not to
see her lover or write to him for a
year at least. She kept her promise,
and in the course of a few weeks, ale
1 though sh9 never audibly murmured,
and was sweetly gentle and loving to
all about her, she grew pale and wan.
She neither ate no slept. The old fa
ther was at his wit’s end. Some one
proposed a foreign tour for that change
ot scene wntcn is suppose! to worn
wonders in heart affections, and,
presto at a few hours' notice, father,
mother and daughter were on board
an Atlantic liner.
For nearly a year the “change of
•cene” prescription was faithfully pur
sued and the patient, always cheerfully
Bubmisslve, gentle and charming, ob
viously grew frailer day by day. Al
most in despair the old man brought
his child home again and one morn
ing he gathered the courage to ask
her if she till cared for Mark Hanna.
“Why, father," she replied, “I shall
'Iways love Mark; I told you that,
you know, a year ago.”
Poor old “Uncle Dan” Rhodes! That
was a bitter day for him, but he was
equal to the occasion. Sending for th«
obscure young man, he said to him:
“Mr. Hanna. Gussie loves you, that is
my only reason for accepting you as
ier future husband. You are poor, [’ll
fix it so Gussie can lire as she has
been accustomed to and I suppose f
must see you marry her.”
Now the coming young man cast ever
bo slight a shadow of his future great
ness on the opportunity of the present.
“Mr. Rhodes ” said he, “I most grate
tniZy 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 bo
content to live a3 my means will enable
uA I can neither accept aid nor per
mit my wife to accept it from any
one."
So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhodes
were married, ana 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 a3 a queen
for some years.
LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon
Becomes Con3ciou3 of Its
Restrictions.
What is it, at bottom, that makes
the English atmosphere so difficult
for an American to breathe in freely?
It is, I bslieve, 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 bis efforts is traced be
forehand by the accident of position;
where be is handicapped in all cases
and crushed in most by the superin
cumbent weight of cas^e, 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, unreser Ved 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 sometning which
the English have so utterly lost as to
be incapable of realizing It.
For Purifying Air.
Pure breathing air can now be main
tained in a small closed space by the
use of machinery. The device consists
of a distributor, which, by the action of
clockwork, drops sodium peroxide into
water at regular intervals, a cubical
•teel box and a ventilating fan. The
sodium peroxide is decomposed by the
water with liberation of oxygen, ab
sorption of carbon dioxide and destruc
tion of the other toxic products of res
piration. A refrigerator is also sup
plied to counteract the heating effects
of the chemical reactions. The com
plete apparatus weighs about

COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plana a
Comfortable Refuge for
the Aged.
Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest
tramp in America, who several years
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a western rail
road magnate, as a result of a wager
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
iy received $25,000 by the.will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Pete^ Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York, and, while talking
about Hans' project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps' home with his money.
He says that he will build his home
somewhere in New England. 1 asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
fun to be a tramp.
“He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to live
in when he gets too old to catch freights,
so long as he had to build himself ahoma,
he declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 5.000
tramps on the road in the United States.
Some of these friends of his, he ex*
plained, are getting old and stiff and
cannot tramp much longer.
“He plans to put all of his money In
this home for his friends. After it is
built, he argues that by a little work,
such as broom making or mending chairs
or something of that kind, the 25 tramps
who reside within can pay running ex
penses. When I asked him how soon ha
Is going to build this home he said that
he is looking for a suitable place, and
that as soon as he finds one he will take
his money out of the bank and build."
MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPE

the cover is the pope’s crest, whlls
across the upper part of the cover is
the word “Autographs" in gold letters.
The album contains 50 pages. On
the right-hand side of each is some
original poem, composed by member*
of the sodality, and written in either
English, Latin or Italian. These
pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft
er the manner of the middle ages, and
the decorations on no two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages there
is nothing except some modest deco
ration. All the work was dona by
hand by members of the sodality. *x
cept the chasing, which was done by
Walter, the college Jeweler.
On the presentation page of the
album are the words: “To Our Moat

Mary, Jesuits’ Church, New Orleans,
La., 1904.” On the title page of the
album are the words: “Golden Ju
bilee of the Immaculate Conception,

The album represented three months'
work.
