"Frank p. Warner came into cur
store to purchase sample bottle of
Zopesa for friend, and stated that he
(Mr. Warner) was afflicted with kidney
and liver troubles for five years, and
had paid $500 or $500 doctors bills,
and has now been completely cured
by the use of two large bottles and one
sample bottle of Zopesa. He was so
bad at one time that he lost 81 pounds
of flesh. but after using Iopesa claims
that he is a sound man, and now weighs
145 pounds. He was loud in its praise,
and readily consented to allow US to use
his name for reference.

Forbes, Tilsonburg, Ont, through Mr..
Q. Tomson, Druggist, says: ''She was

Reotitude" Condemned Him.

Some time ago Nathan Jones, a col
ored man in whose general character
there was lack of laudable ambition,
was arraigned before Little Rock JUS
tice and fined. Jones went down in the
country, became a leader among the
negroes and was elected Justice of the
Peace. The other day Squire Gilwig,
before whom Jones had been arraigned,
and whom the waves of politics had
submerged, went down into Jones'
neighborhood, drank bad whisky and
killed man. He was arrested and ta-
ken before Judge Jones for examina-
ton.

William Dunn, Robert Roberts, and
two other miners were at work on a
dump near Tombstone, Arizona, a few
days ago, several other men digging in

men in the cut were safe from attack.

Probably the politest and most con-
siderate man who ever lived was Gen
eral Bradsbale, of Arkansaw. Some
time ago, boarding a train. he perceiv-
ed his son, whom he had not seen for
twenty years, occupying a seat, read
ing. The old gentleman sat down inn
mediately behind the young man. Af-
ter the train had gone about thirty
miles, the young man laid aside his
newspaper, and discovering his father,
seized the old man with affectionate
warmth. ''Why didn't you let me
know that you was on the train, faith
er?''
Because" replied the old gentle
man, Il saw that you were reading and
| did not wish to disturb"
'That would have made no differ

''And besides" continued the father.
Il thought that you might want to bor-

but would have shrunk from such task /;
not one in five hundred would have gone
over at any price or under any consider
alton.
But my brave, noble girl, with the
nerve of giant, never hesitated, never
stopped to fear. Gathering up her fow-
ing skirts, and on hands and knees she
crawled over the long bridge. Slowly
tie after tie was passed. 1t was already
time for our train to come dasbing over
the bridge and hurl her down to death
amid the dark and muddy waters of the
rushing river. The blood from the lac
Grated knees had stained her dress, but
she did not falter; her long hair is blown
out from her net by the fury Of the wind,
but she must not stop.

where our train was just ready to start.
Breathless and in broken accents she
told her sad, fearful tale, and then faint
and weak from her excitement, fell back
into my eager, waiting arms.
Half unconscious, | carried her into
the dry warm office, and as | put her
down, her great earnest eyes opened
YEARLY for a moment to meet mine and
read the love in them, and her white lips
smiled.
"You are saved she murmured,
very low, "Oh, George, never could
have done it, but | knew it was your
train" and clasped the brave little he
roine close in my wet arms, never more
to let her go.
The sun Of the next morning as It came
up clear and bright, glistened on the
rain drops and peeping over into the
rocky chasm, where the wreck and the
dead men lay, seemed like the sun of my
new life, rising to look down in pity up
on the wreck and ruin of my past.
"How am now ;" did YOU ask.
That little cottage on the hill yonder
is mine, and | am back in my old pro-
fession, working hard to keep my posi-.

HIS GREAT GAIN.-Some said ne was
killed and Others asserted that he was
only dangerously hurt, but when the re-
porter pushed through the crowd he dis
covered that the victim had simply lost
thumb by the fall of the plank he was
assisting to raise.
It was his left thumb, and he was
strawberry peddler and had measured
that thumb over 10000 times.
"Poor man l see how it is" sighed
the reporter. "This is terrible loss to
you just at the opening the berry sea-
son."
"Hush Mum is the word" whis-
pered the poor fellow as he started for
the surgeons. 1t was only a small
thumb, anyhow, and for $3.50 can get
an artificial one which takes up half pint
of room in quart measure. It's great
gain to me sir-a great gain. With the
sympathy of the public and a wooden
thumb with a rag around it, l shall make

with team and wagon, hauling of the
timber.
