Brixton's Choice
There are many varieties of matri-
f,,, monial proposals besides those which
appear in novels, and one of them
made a lot of trouble a year or two ago
for John Brixton. Brixton was one of
a e . _ tha•intelligentafelloivs who-wee-ale:rare
adaptive, so he had acquired a lot of
acquaintances who were the envy of
• everyone that knew him. Although
he was only a salesman on salary—
quite a good salary, it must be said—
for a large firm of iron manufacturers,
•
he was frequently accosted familiarly
by bank presidents and other business
magnates and could slap any of these
gentlemen on the shoulder without
giving offense.
As he was a bachelor and old enough
to have outgrown the habit of loun-•-
ing through successive evenings in
houses where there were pretty daugh-
• to s, he was available for dinner part-
ieS given by men who knew no better
,iF' • way of spending an evening. Every-
i body among his acquaintances wished
him well and wished they could do
• something for him, but they respect-
ed him all the more because he never
' tried to borrow money nor asked for
• any other favors. Solid business men
told one another that Brixton would
be one of them some day. He merely
�. needed the chance which comes to
• •••.• every deserving man in the course of
time, and each of them hoped it might
be his fortune to throw the chance in
.Brixton's way.
It seemed one day to old Budder,
president of the Forty-seventh Nation-
al' bank and a hearty admirer of Brix-
ton, that he was the man to throw
fortune in Brixton's way. The plan
came to Budder's mind suddenly, but
sudden inspirations and quick action
thereon are part of the daily life of the
most stolid presidents of big banks.
Brixton had promised to lunch with
the bank magnate at mid-day, and he
appeared at the bank just in time to
see the old man bowing out a lady
with more courtesy and ceremony
than he imagined Budder capable of.
As the old man caughtsight of Brix-
ton he exclaimed:
"One moment, Miss Fewse. Allow
me to introduce my very dear and old
friend, Mr John Brixton, Mr Brixton,
Miss Fewse, daughter of old Ben
Fewse, whom every one has heard of."
Brixton bowed and looked curiously
at the lady. He had seen her father
occasionally before increasing years
and doctors had sent Mr Fewse..to his
final home, and his eyes searched the
daughter's face for indications of her
father's distinguished traits. He found
them, too, although the interview was
short.
Miss Fewes was richly and simply
dressed. Her figure, like her father's,
was dumpy, and her face, though not
rude was as broad and heavy, and her
forehead was a low as that of old Ben
himself. Still, her manner was wo-
manly, and as she finally took her de-
parture, Brixton, who had a dear old
mother as well as a sister, whom he
aegarded as the best young woman
alive, sorrowed to himself that a
man .as'rich as old Ben Fewse could
net have -married some one whose
bloo d could have atoned for the rude-
ness of his own.
"Well, John," said the president,
after handing Miss Fewse into her
ca•.riage, "yon owe re Gone. Any one
of a t ,ousand goo`, teiles s in New

r •ai� doing the friend)
thing, Bud • • remarked Brixton
sinking into"' asy ehair," but I dors
quite underst 'bid it this time."
"Don't, eh?" said the president, has
ily relighting a cigar which he ha
laid on -his desk when Miss Fewse wa
announced.
"Well (puff), Miss Fewse is join
heir with (putt) her brother—her onl
brother mind you. Old Ben's estate 1
estimated by his executors at $8,000,
000. I dont know how close the
conies to the truth—I don't take mac
stock in what i can'tsee wiwh ply ow
eyes—but this much I do know."
Then the president clapped tw
pudgy hands upon Brixton's knees
looked squarely into Brixton's eye
and said in a low, measured monotone
"John Brixton, I know of my ow
knowledge that Ida Fewse has ove
one—million—dollars—in good railw
bonds right in my safe here. "Noug
said, eh, "
"Enough money, I should say, for
an unmarried woman who doesn't
look as if her tastes` were expensive.
But what have I to do with it? You
said"—
"Do with it?" echoed the president.
"Why, you donkey, make it your
own. Marry the girl. She isn't a
beauty,. I must admit, but she's re-
"spectable and honest, and she'd accept
you in a minute."
"Upon my word, Budder," laughed
Brixton, "You've been in business so
long that even women seem property
to you. Miss Fewse never saw me un-
til five minutes ago,"
"Perhaps not, but she's ggot her fath-
er's level head on her•shoulders. • She's
seen dozens of other men, Scarcely a
month goes by without some fellow
offering himself to her—for the sake
of her money of course, She doesn't
object to marrying, for, beinga wo-
man, she haze a heart, bo she has
enough character to want ahusband
whom she can respect, and none of
the fellows who have offered them-
selves thus fit" has been of that kind."
"Upon my word, Budder, said the
younger , man, "I never would have
taken you, good fellow though you
are, for a man whom an unmarried
woman would have selected as confid-
ant. It does your credit though, that
she seems to have opened her heart to
you."
'•Oh, well, Ben and I have been in
many speculations together, and she
knows he always trusted me. Besides
there's no sentimental nonsense about
her. She isn't afraid to unload her
ideas upon an old friend of the family,
so we've talked very freely about it.
By the way, she has such a matter of
fact manner that she looks older than
she is. She's really 'five years younger
than you. Your fdrtitne's made, poor
boy, unless you make a fool of your-
self in some way.
"Let me sound her about it. You
may count upon me to do it without
lack of proper respect for either of
you, and I'll bet the entire assets of
this bank against a penny that you
may announce your engagement with-
in a week. Then you'll be hand in
glove with a lot cf us fellows in a busi-
ness way as well as socially, and we
want you—we really do."
"Budder," said John Brixton, rising
from his chair, *.you've got a heart as
big as an ox, and I'm heartily obliged
to you for your interest in me. Y ou
must give ire lame to think of it,
though:"
"Time to—!" ejaculated the president
.firing his cigar butt at the cuspidor
with such.eneage that- he-.overshut_the
inerk and elicited a howl of anguish
from the bank's cat as she mistook
tine missive for a mouse when she op-
ened her eyes from a peaceful slumber.
"There're some things that a fellow
can't afford to think about. Do you
stop to think when a trout rises to
your fly? Coyne along to lunch and
make up your mind on the way." '
But John Brixton wasn't' able fa
give a decisive answer over the coffee
and cigars. A million dollars in good
securities seemed well worth the tak-
ing by a man who had worked indus-
triously for 15 to 20:years only to reach
a salary of $5,000 or $6,000, and an ap-
preciative wife thrown in seemed like
so much extra luck, for John's mother
and sisterhad for rears warned him
that wives who hold good husbands in
proper regard are as scarce as model
husbands.
On the other hand, old Ben -Fewse's
(laughter, who looked as much like her
father as a woman could look like a
man, would be a strange companion
for a man, who, in spite of much at-
tention to material things in the way
of business, had inherited many fine
tastes and sentiments which he had
kept in good, usable condition. Who-
ever he might marry ought to be fair-
ly companionable to his mother and
sister—two 'women he could not ima-
gine enjoying Miss Fewse's society.
But while John Brixton went on
thinking and wondering and cornpro
raising and rejecting his own com-
p) orrises old Budder took the case in
hand as earnestly as if it were a pro-
mising investment for his own bank.
He was too good a business man to ex-
ceed his authority, but he and his wife
took Miss Fewse out driving the very
afternoon that he had made his sug-
gestion to Brixton, and they took her
home to dinner with them, and the
old man made opportunity to sound
the praise of John Brixton and to tell
what fine women John's mother and
sister were. So before the evening
was over Miss Fewse was conscious of
a mighty wish that some man like
John Brixton would ask her to change
her name and share her life and for-
tune with her.
Brixton had been athis place only half
an hour the next morning when one of
the clerks shouted:
"Someone on the telephone for you,
sir."
"Who is it?" John asked, raising his
eyes from a letter he was reading.
"Forty-seventh National ' bank—
President Budder," the clerk said.
"Wait a moment," said Brixton,
dropping the letter, seizing his hat
and darting for the door. "I'm out—
you don't know when I'll be irf."
One of the firm who had overheard
the conversation asked his partner
whether he supposed Brixton had been
speculating in Wall street and got
more accommodation from the Forty-
seven'th National than his collaterals
would warrant, and the'' partner re-
plied that it "night not be a bad thing
to keep Brixton out of temptation by
sending hint to South America to look
after a railway contract which they
had been trying to secure through cor-
respondents.
As •for Brixton, he went straight
Y
home and prowled about loot the house un-
til he founhis sister.
"Ettie," seed he, "you and I have al -
Y ways been confidential' ' friends, a'.
thpugh we're brother' and sister, 1
t wantt to ask yob an tlniisual question,
and I want you to answer it without
jd any other teasing. ySuppeye-brows auba
s suddenly deternllne that I wanted to
marry. Whom would you best like to
t' have for a sister?"
Y The young woman did not start or
s laugh or do Tinything expressive of
astonishment, but answered promptly;
"I've long_ed for years to see you
h and Agnes ammice make. a ;Hatch.
n You're made for each other."
o "Longed for years, eh? Never Chang•
Ed your mind?'
" 1�Tever. Isn't she my dearest friend?
s Isn't she as good and sweet and hand-
' some as—as she is poor?"
n What does mother think of her?"
ar "Just what I think and what every
7 one must that knows her. The dear
girl would have been snapped up long
Pitcher's Castoria
ago if she hadn't been too poor to ap-
pear properly in the society for which
she's best fitted. As it is, scarcely any
young men know her except those
who are not fit to tie her shoes."
"What do you Suppose she thinks of
me?"
"Well, on general principles she
can't help liking you. For the rest,
unless she forgets everything I say to
her, she must think you're the one
supremely perfect man on the face of
the earth."
"H'm! What wonderful things you
must have said of me—behind my back.
Do you suppose you could arrange for\
us—she, you and I—to take a drive
this afternoon?"
"Yes, but—"
"Exactly. Then find some excuse
after you return from inviting her to
find something which will unavoid-
ably prevent your going."
By way of reply Ettie Brixton
sprang from her chair, kissed her
brother effusively and hurried off to
dress for a morning call.
Miss Hammiee went driving with
John Brixton that afternoon, and al-
though she was very sorry that dear
Ettie wasn't with them, she enjoyed
herself greatly after the manner of
busy people whose 'Special pleasures
come infrequently.
As the drive continued she changed
her mind about Ettie. She wouldn't
have had the girl with her for worlds,
for although there was more happi-
ness in that carriage than she had ever
before imagined the world contained,
there was only enough for two, and
the mere presence of any one else,
even her dearest friend, would have
entirely spoiled it. Instead of taking
her directly home after returning
from the pleasantcountry lane through
which he had driven, John Brixton
drove to his own home and called his
sister down to the little parlor, while.
heremained outside to watch the
horses.
It seemed to him that he sat there
alone at least twenty-four hours, al-
though the parlor clock had ticked off
only twenty minutes when Agnes
tore herself away from Ettie with the
remark that she could not be entirely
happy until she had reached home'
and told her mother all about it.
President Budder was still at his
dinner table that evening when a
letter was brought in. The servant
said a special messenger had brought
it, with instructions to de=liver at once.
"One of the delights of being a finan-
cial magnate!" growled the old man as
he tore the end from the envelope.
"Can't eat my dinner in peace. Any
customer in such te hurry iriti:st he --
great Scott!"
"Has some one failed?" ' asked Mrs
Budder.
•"I should say so—failed to make a
fortune. Listen to this:
"My DEAR BUDDER—Perhaps men
grow more bashful as they grow older.
At least I'd rather write you than tell
you face to face that the reason I hesi-
tate to avail myself of your kind sug-
gestion regarding Miss. Fewse is that I
am already engaged to a most esti-
mable young woman. I shall expect
you and your wife to dance at the
wedding,which will beg within a month.
"A thousand thankJa dear boy, for
your kind interest in -.me. As your
own married life has been very happy,
I trust you'll understand me when I
say that I'm marrying a tremendous
fortune, though every bit of it consists
of human nature. ' Yours always.
JOHN BRI%TON."'
"A million dollars—yes, three mil-
lion dollars out!" exclaimed President
Budder, dashing the letter to the floor.
"Did you ever know such a fool?"
"I hope so," said Mrs Budder. "I'd
like to believe you'd have been such a
one yourself if a rich woman had been
thrown at your head when you were
paying attentions to rue. 'Goodness
Wows you got nothing but me when
you married. Stevens, bring up the
oldest bottle in the cellar. We seldom
have so good an excuse to open it."
"Right you are, my dear, as usual,"
said the bank president, going eto the
head of the table and giving his wife a
kiss which might have been heard a
block away had the windows been
open.

WHY HOOD'S WINS.
President Lincoln said, "Yon cannot
fool the people a second time." They too
quick to recognize real merit or lack of it,
and cling only to those things vehicle they
find to be what la claimed of them.
It is especially gratifying that the sale of
Hood's Sarsaparilla increases most rapidly
in those sections where it is the best known.
The inference is plain. Hood's Sarsap•
artila has proven that it possesses genuine
merit. Itmaintains a high standard,
and
,
which others cannot even approach. It is a!
the people's favoeits blood -purifying and

It was in a St. John station the other
day that an interesting meeting ocetarred.
An old gentleman game in on an ea stern
train, seemed impatient at the wait of eev,
eral hours that was before him, and final.
ly remarked.l.hat he was going on a long 'ts
journey 'in search of his son, ' who had left
home eighteen years before and bed not
been heard from since, except that lately
tidings had come in an,‘indirect way that
he was in Illinois. Thman further ex-
plained that be had sold his farm, and, if
necessary, would spend all the money in
the search for hie boy. Soou after this
the train from Bangor rolled in, and from
it descended a young man with a cigar in -
his month and inquired of the old gentle-
man when the train for the east wonldstart,
adding: "I left home 18 years ago and
have not heard from my, folks sham. I
went to a dance one night. When I got
back my father gave me a thrashing. I
concluded to leave, and I did. Now I am.
going home." "He's my son, my long lost
son!" oried the man, excitedly. "Oh, my
boy, my boyl" The united pair left on the
next train for Nova Scotia.

"For eight years, I was, most of the
time, a great sufferer from constipa.
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges-
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
boners, and kidneys aro in perfect con-
dition, and, in all their functions, as

I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; I now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
