view with no little alarm the strength the Sher-
man movement has SO recently developed.
and shrewd politicians frankly admit that if
Secretary Sherman carries Ohio next fall he

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED -Parlor scene
Mrs. Brown, who has spent the summer
among the White Mountains in search of
health, and who seems to have searched the
whole mountain side without being able to
find pair of blooming cheeks or nm inch of
healthful skin Mrs. White, who has re-
mained at home because her husband could
not afford to go, but whose fresh complexion
and bright eyes seem to have caught their
bloom and brightness from mountain brec>
zes.
Mrs. B.-Dear me, Mrs. White, how we'll
you are looking If you will not think me
| impertinent. let me ask how you can keep SO
healthy in this dreadful city Z I have been
to the White Mountains, 60 there every
summer, in fact, and can't keep off the doc.
tors list at that.
Mrs. W. (smiliug) I'm tell the whole Sc.
cret, Mrs. Brown. You remember how
poorly ] was last spring, somo days even
being confined to my bed. Dr. told Mr..
White to send me to the mountains. but
knew he couldn't afford it, and tried DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription. Its effects
were SO marvellous that l also tried his
Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse my
system. In my opinion one bottle of the
Prescription and the Discovery is bo.ter than
six weeks of the Whitc Mountains for a sick
woman. l have been out of the city week
during the whole summer; then my husband
and | went to Buffalo aud stopped at DR..
Pierce's Tnvalids' and Tourists Hotel. The
baths and mechanical apparatus for treating
patients were alone worth going to see. Be-
sides. our accommodations were better than
we had at Long Branch last year. and the
drives and scenery are superb. Let me adj
wise you to use DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, and try the 1uvalids' aud Tourists
Hotel next summer instead of the White
