PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BULLETIN "S JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES. ■ Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is no trip 1 like that on the Great Lakes, those inland aeas which form the border =» - line between United Statesjand Canada. And June fa one of the most < « harming months in the year in which to take the trip. - For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor Line have 1 ll no superiors. As well-appointed aa the palatial ocean greyhounds which J # - plow the Atlantic, their schedule allows sufficient time at all stopping i *0 places to enable the traveler to see something of the great lake cities and v' to view in the daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the ^ i scenery which frames them. 1 The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake St. Clair 4 with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake, thence through Lake 1 Kfc — - Huron, the locking of the steamer through the great locks at the Soo, , ve and the passage of the Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper j end of Michigan are novel and interesting features. The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven hnn- j dred rnjles in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo, the steamships J Juniata and Tionesta, make stops at Erie, Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette, Houghton ant Hancock and Duluth. ( The 1908 season cpens on June 16, when the Steamer Tionesta will ■ make her first sailing from Buffalo" The Anchor Line fa the Great Lake Annex of the Pennsylvania j "Railroad, and the service mesaures up to the high standard set by the j "Standard Railroad of America" . An illustrated booklet, giving sailing dates of steamers, rates of r fare, ao<f other information is in course of preparation, and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent, J who is also prepared to book passengers who may desire to take this trip through the great lakes and back.

WW Br O. HENRY. * t Copy right. IMG. by the 8. 8. MeCTure Co.) J TO Carson Chalmers, In his apartment near the square. Phillips , brought the evening mall. Beaides the routine correspond ( once, there were two Items bearing , the same foreign postmark. One of the Incoming parcels contained a photograph of a woman. The off)- . er contained an Interminable letter, j ever which Chalmers bong, absorbed. . for a long time. The letter was from another woman, and it contained pol sorted barbs' sweetly dipped In honey and feathered with Innuendoes con- ! cernlng the photographed woman. ' Chalmers tore this letter Into a thousand bits and began to wear out his ( expensive rug by striding back and forth upon it Thus an animal from , the Jungle acts when It is caged, and , thus a caged man acts when be Is 1 housed In a Jungle of doubt f By and by the restless mood was 1 overcome. The rug was not an enchanted one. For sixteen feet he could travel along it Three thousand miles was beyond Its T>ower to aid. Phillips appeared. He never entered. He invariably appeared, like a well oiled genie. "Will you dine here, sir, or out?" he asked. "Here." said Chalmere, "and In half . an honr." He listened glumly te the' January blasts making fan aeolian trombone of the empty street "Walt" he said to the disappearing genie. "As I came home across the end of the square I saw many men . standing there In rows. There was , one mounted upon something, talking. Why do these men stand in row*, and why are they there?" "They are homeless men. sir," said ' Phillips. "The man standing on the box tries to get lodging for them for the night People come around to listeD and give him money. Then he sends as many as the money will pay for to some lodging bouse. That Is why they stand In rows. They get sent to bed in • order as they come." "By the time dinner is served," said Chalmers, "have one of those men here. He will dine with me " 1 "W-w-wbicb"— began Phillips, stam1 mering for the first time during his : service. "Choose one. at random." said Cbal- . mere, "l'oa might see that he Is reaI sonnbly sober, and a certain amonnt of j cleanliness will not be held against him. That Is all." • I It was in unusual thing for Carson Chalmers to play the caliph, but on that night be felt the lneflicacy of conventional antidotes to melancholy. Something wanton and egregious, something high flavored and Arabian. I he must have to lighten bis mood. ' On the half hour Phillips bad finished his duties as slave of the lamp. The I waiters from the restaurant below bad I whisked aloft the delectable dinner. I The dining table, laid for two. glowed ' cheerily, In the glow of the pink shaded | ] candles. ' | And now Phillips, as though he nshI I ered a cardinal— or held In charge a | burglar— wafted 11$ the shivering guest i I who bad -been haled from the line of ! mendicant lodgers. ! It Is a common thlnp to call Bucb - ' men wrecks. If the comparison be ! used here It Is the specific one of a t ! derelict come to grief through fire. | Even yet some Dickering combustion Illuminated the drifting bulk. His face and hands bad been recently washed, a rite Insisted upon by Phillips as a memorial to the slaughtered conventions. < In the candlelight he stood, a flaw In the decorous fittings of the apartment. , Ills face was a sickly white, covered

His 6babby coat was but- I toned high, but a quarter Inch of re- j deeming collar showed above 1L His ! I manner was singularly free from em - - barrassment when Chalmers rose from j his cbalr across tbe round dining table. I "If yon will oblige me." said the host. "I will be glad to have your com- ! patty at dinner." - — f "My name is Plumer." said the hlgbr way guest Id harsh and aggressive " tones. "If you're like me you like to know the name of tfce party you're 5 dining with." "I was going on to say." continued ) Chalmere somewhat hastily, "that C j mine Is Chalmers. Will you sit oppoI site?" r Plumer of the ruffled plumes bent 1 his knees for Phillips to slide the chair ! beneath him. He bad an air of bav- } Ing sat at attended boards before. I Phillips set out the anchovies and olives. 1 i "Good!" barked Plumer. "Going to - be Id courses. Is It? a" right, my , Jovial ruler of Bagdad. I'm your j Scheherazade all the way to the tooth- j

Oh, I know what to do when I see victuals coming toward me In little old Bagdad-on-the-Subway. 1 strike the asphalt three times with my forehead and get ready to spiel yarns for my supper. I claim descent from the late Tommy Tucker, who was forced to hand oat vocal harmony for bis predigested wheaterina and spoopju." "I do not ask your story." said Chalmere. "I tell you frankly that It was a sudden whim that prompted me to send for some stranger to dine with me. 1 assure you you will not suffer through any cariosity of mine." "Ob. fudge!" exclaimed the guest, enthusiastically tackling his soup. "I don't mind It a bit. I'm a regular oriental magazine with a red cover and the leaves cut when the caliph walks abroad. In fact, we fellows In tbe bed line have a sort of anion rate for things of this sort. Somebody's always stopping and wanting to know what brought us down so low in the world. For a sandwich and a glass of beer I tell 'em that drink did It For corned beef and cabbage and a cup of coffee I give 'em the hard hearted landlordsix - months - In - the - hospital - lost -job story. A sirloin steak aDd a quarter for a bed gets the Wall street rragedy of the swept away fortune and the gradual descent This Is the first spread of this kind I've stumbled against I haven't got a story to fit It I'll tell you what Mr. Chalmers, I'm going to tell you the truth for this If you'll listen to It It'll lie harder for you to believe than the made up ones." An hour later the Arabian guest lay back with a sigh of satisfaction while Chimps brought the coffee ami cigars • Did you ever bear of Sherrard Chillier?" be asked, with a si range suille. "1 remember tbe came," said Cbal mets. "He was a painter. I think, of I a good deal of prominence n few years I ago." "Five years." said tbe guest. "Then I went down like a chunk of lead. I'm Sherrard i'iumer. 1 sold the Inst por | trait I painted for $2,000. After that I couldn't have found a sitter for a I gratis picture." "What was tbe trouble?" Chalmers could not resist asking? "Funny thing," auswered Plumer grimly. "Never quite understood It I myself. For awhile i swam like a J cork. I broke into the swell crowd I and got commissions right and left I Tbe newspapers called me a fashlonn j hie painter. Then the funny tbiugbegan to hap.cn.

Some of my sitters : were fearfully enraged and refused ; their pictures. I painted tbe portrait ! ef a very beautiful and popular society ; dame. When it was finished ber has- | - band looked at it with a peculiar ex- > 1 presslon on his face, aDd the next week I "I remember one case of a prom I- j Dent hanker who sat to me. While ! j had his portrait od exhibition In my j studio an acquaintance of b% came in 1 to look at It. 'Bless me,' says be. 'does j he really look like that?* 1 told him It »as considered a faithful likeness. '1 never noticed that expression about his , eyes before.' said he. *1 think I'll drop j down town and change my bank ac- | 1 count' He did drop down, but the j | bank account was gone, and so was j • j Mr. Banker.

I worked as a newspaper MRHS for awhile and then for a ilthographat, y but my work with them got -I the same trouble. If I drew (Ma • S photograph my drawing showed characteristics and expressions that I couldn't find In tbe photo, but 1 guess they were In tbe original. «M ^ right The customers raised lively rowa. especially the women, and I never could hold a Job long.

I can turn on the Wall itrsst disaster stop if you prefer, but that requires a tear, and I'tq afri'd 1 cant hustle one up after that good dinner." "No, no." said Chalmers earnestly? "yon interest me very much. Did all of your portraits reveal some unpleasant trait, or were there some that did not suffer from tbe ordeal of your peculiar brush?" "Some? Yes." said Plumer; -children generally, a good many women and 8 sufficient number of men. All peopls aren't bad. you know. When they were all right the pictures were aQ right. Aa I said. I don't explain It but I'm telling you facta." On Cbalmeria writing table lay the photograph that be had received that day In the foreign mall. Ten minutes later be had Plomer at work making a sketch from It In pastels. At the end of an hour tbe artist rose and stretched wearily. "It's done." he yawned. "You'll excuse me for being so long. I got Inter- 1 ested In the Job. Lordy. but I'm tired! No bed last night you know. Guess it* 11 hare to be good night now, O com. . mender of the faithful!" — — Chalmere went as far as the door with hlui and slipped some bills Into his hand. "Ob. I'll take "em!" said Plpmer. "All that's Included In- the falL Thanks, and for tbe very good dinner. 1 shall sleep on feathers tonight - and dream of Bagdad. I hope It wont turn out to be a dream id tbe morning. • Farewell, most excellent caliph!" 1 Again Chalmere paced restlessly upon 1 his rug. But his beat lay as far from • the table whereon lay the pastel sketch ■ as the room would petmit Twice, 1 thrice, be .tried to approach It, but faDI ed. He could see the dun and gold ■ and brown of tbe colors, bnt there was a wall about It built by his fears that kept him at a distance. He sat down 1 and tried to calm himself. He sprang 1 np and rang for Phillips. > "There is a young artist In this' bnlld- ' tng." he said, "a Mr. Relneman. Do you know which Is his apartment?" "Top floor, front, sir," said PhUllpa. "Go up nnd ask him to favor me ■ with bis presence here for e few mlni utes." 1 Relneman came at once. Chalmers ' introduced himself. 1 "Mr. Relneman said he. "there fa S little pastel sketch on yonder table. I 1 would be glad If you will give me your opinion of It as to Its artistic merits and as u picture." [ The young artist advanced to the ta- ' ble and took up the sketch. Chalmers half turned away, leaning upon the ' back of a chair r "How— do— you— find It?" he asked ' "As a drawing." said the artist "I j can t praise it enough. It's the work of a master— bold aud tine and true, it puzzles me n little I haven't seen any ^ pastel work near as good In years." ; "The face, man— the subject— the original-what would you say of that?" "The face." said Reinemau. "is the face of one of God's own angels. May ! I ask who""My wife!" shouted Chalmers, wheeling and pouncing upon the astonished artist, gripping bis hand aDd pounding his back. "She Is traveling in Europe. Take that sketch, boy. and paint the picture of your life from It and leave the price to me."

I The great and growing popularity of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 1 is due both to its scientific compound1 ing and to the actual medicinal- value of its ingredients. The publication of the names of the ingredients on the wrapper of every bottle sold, gives : full assurancce of its non-alcoholie ! character and removes all objection to \ the use of an unknown or secret remedy. It is not a patent medicine nor a secret one either. This fact puts it in ' a class all by itself, bearing as it does 1 upon every bottle wrapper the Badge of Honesty, in the full list of its in- ' grediet ts. Mauy years of active practice convinced Dr. Pierce of the value , j of many native roots as medicinal I agents and he went to great expense, both in time and in money, to perfect ; I his own peculiar processes for rendering thim both efficient and safe for tonic, alternative and rebuilding . | agents. j The "Golden Medical Discovery" cures weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver and biliousness, ulceration of stbmagh and bowels and 1 all catarrhal affections no matter what parts or organs may be effected with ! it. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are I the original little liver pills, first put : up 40 years ago. They regulate and | invigorate, stomach, liver apd bowels. 1 I Much imitated but never equaled. 1 j Sugar-coated and easy to take as candy.
