For Over Thirty Years
Perry Davis Vegetable Pain-Killer
Has been tested in every variety Of
climate, and by almost every
nation known TO americans.

1t Is the constant companion and
estimable friend of the missionary and
the traveller, on sea and land, and no
one should travel on our Lakes or
Rivers without it.
1t has been before the public over
thirty years, and probably has wider
and better reputation than any other
proprietary medicine of the presentday.
At this period there are but few unac-
q, amt ID with the merits of the Pain
Killer, hut while some extol It as lini-
ment, they know but little Of its power
In easing pain when taken internally,
while others use itinternally with great
success, but are equally ignora 1T of its
healing virtues wheu applied externally.
We therefore wish to say to all that it is
equally successful whether used intern
ally or externally, and it stands to-day,
unrivalled by all the great catalogue of
family medicines 1t lssufficient evidence
of its virtues as standard medicine, to
know that it is now used in all parts of
the world and that its sale is constantly
increasing. No curative agent has had
such wide spread sale or given such
universal satisfaction. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, and perfectly safe
in unskillful hands.
After thirty years trial, it Is still receiv-
ing the most unqualified testimonials to
its virtues, from persons of the highest
character and responsibility. Physi-
clans of the first responsibility, recon-
mended it as most effectual prepara-
tion for the extinction of pain. 1t Is
not only the best remedy ever known
for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &C., but for
Dysentery or Cholera or any sort of
bowel complaint, it is remedy unsur-
passed for efficiency and rapidity of
action. In the great cities Of India,
and other hot climates, 1t has become
the Standard Medicine for all such
complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and other kindred
disorders. For Coughs and Colds, Can
ker, Astham, and Rheumatic Difficult
ties, it has been proved by the most
abundant and convincing testimony to
be an Invaluable medicine.
Be,Oore ef all limitations.
The Pain. Killer is sold by respectable
druggists throughout the United States
ard foreign countries.
Price-2J cents, so cents and 81
per bottle.

Sir Edwin Landseer.

OF the great painter, Sir Edwin Land
seer, the Imperial Biography of Art
says; "No English painter has been
more popular, and nOne-except Sir
Thomas Lawrence-has received such
immense sums for his works. For the
copyright of some of his pictures he OBJ
tanned SO, ,00O(s15, ,0OO). in addition to
the original price of the picture. 1t was
master stroke when the publishers OF
The Christian at Work presented the
triple combination of a magnificent
chrome (about two by two and a half
feet in size) of Landseer's great paint
ing of dogs and sheep-'The Twins -
with Talmage as editor of their paper,
and Spurgeon as special contributor.
They deserve success, and will get it..

A bee raiser in New England is said
to have patented an invention for the
prote,tion of bees from the attacks Of
the honey moth, which enters the hives
at night and rifles the stores. The idea
arose out of his familiarity with the
daily routine not of bees ouly, but of
hens. Hens, no observed, retire to rest
early; bees seek repose earlier still; no
sooner are theysunk in slumber than the
moth steals into their abode and deyours
the produce of their toll. He has now
built stand of hives with hen house
above it. The bees first betake them
selvs to their dwelling and settle them
selves for the night. The hens then
come home to roost on their perch, and,
as they take their place upon it, their
weight sets scme simple mechanism to
work, which at once shuts down the
doors of all the hivesl When the day
dawns, however, the hens leave their
roost, and the removal of their weight
from the perch raises the hive doors and
gives egress to the bees In time for their
mornings work. .r Z

A Poor Arrangement.

The School Board of this borough on
Tuesday last agreed to accept the offer
of $500 a year for the use of one-hllf
of the upper room of the new school
building, or what at first was intended
as a public hall, provided the lessee can
enter sufficient bail for the payment of
the rental. We do not consider our
School Board has acted very wisely in
this matter. We think there is more to
be realized from public hall, and
especially here, where place of this
kind is SO much needed, than can be by
leasing one half for number of years,
and rendering the other portion too
small for any public purpose, and this
we find to be the opinion of many of
our most prominent citizens. And an
other point, and pertinent one too,
is: Have the School Board the right to
lease any portion of the school building
for private purposes to any citizen for
a given length of time extending over
their term of office? We think not !;
and ask them to keep it for what it was
originally intended-a public hall for
the benefit oi ALL our people. Where
Is "a Taxpayer" on this question +?

Not Settled,


There appears to be an impression
In the lower end of the valley that
Judge Packer has lost several millions
Of dollars by the Wheeler suit (for the
recovery of certain coal tracts) going
against him. The verdict has not been
reached, the case having been post
poned until the June term of the u. S.
Court. Judge Packer has no interest
an this matter more than any other
stockholder of the L. V. r. r., whioh
absorbed the Hszleton Coal Com pany
who occupied the lands, one quarter of
which, with rentals, Mr.. Wheeler al
leges belongs to the heir whom he rep
resents. The whole value of the prop.
erty is said to be about So, 600, 900, one
fourth of which, 81, ,000,0 and inter-
est and rents amounting to $500, 1000
more, is claimed by Mr.. w. The l.
V. r. r. is liable for about one-fourth
this amount, 1926, 900; the Robinson
estate another quarter, and the remain
ing half is divided among other parties.
Mr.. Wheeler is sanguinet Of success.
On the other hand the most promi-
nent officers Of the l.. V. r. r. say
that there is nothing in the case, and
this seems 10 be verified from the fat
that they pay little attention to it and
rarely speak of it.-[Democrat

Jones'.

Our fr:e d Jones is very modest-as well
as n man of very impres-ible feelings.
Jones vent out to the deaf and duub
asylum on Thursday, to inspect the institution.
Upon entering, he encountered man, evil
IDENTIFY an inmate, and he at once endeav ored
to explain to the man by making signs upon
his fingers that he wanted to look through
the place. The man also made signs when
Jones made other and more elaborate motions,
which set the man at work with greater vio-
lence, and for the next half hour they stood
In the hall, gesticuIatiDg and twisting their
fingers, without either being able to compre>
bend what the ether meant. Finally Jones
became angry, and in an outburst of passion
exclaimed F:
'.Oh, get out you idiot! I'm tired of
bothering with you"
Thereupon the man said:
That's just what was going to say about
you
"Oh. you can speak, can can you? Then
why in thunder didn't you say So, and not
keep me here motioning to you? I thought
you was deaf and dumb
''Aud thought you were," said the man.
''I came here to inspect the Asylum" said
Jones, land I took you for patient"
That's what came here for and thought
you were an attendant" said the man.
Here Jones and the man shook hands, and
hunted up genuine attendant. and went
away happy After this, Jones always uses
his tongue first no matter where he is.

A SMILE.-Nothing on earth can smile but
human beings. Gems may fash reflected
light, but what is diamond fash compared
with an eye fash a face that cannot smile is
like bud that cannot blossom, and dries up at
the stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety is
night, and smile is the twilight that hovers
gently between both, and more bewitching
than either.
