many OF the most dangerous and painful
maladlss Of humanity. The list OF diseases
for which he recommends the "Discovery" 10
necessarily large, since It must take In all the
shoots and branches that spring from these
root diseases each shoot and branch having
It's particular name and manifestation, and
it's particular degree OF pain and danger TO
the human system. II takes In thus our con-
SYMPTOMS our kidney diseases, our sick
headaches, our heart diseases, the whole long,
loathsome list OF what are called "bad blood"
diseases, our dyspepsias, dropsies, agues,
asthmas, and many others, by far too numer-
Gus TO mention.
The Discovery has been tried and proved,
and is now soldy established upon its own
merits. Scarcely a town or village from
which some testimonial of It's use and value
has not been received. Many OF those testl.
fying say that after having spent hundreds
Of dollars upon medicines and physicians, and
their cases having been pronounced hopeless,
the Golden Medical Discovery has raised
them to health and strength. II unquestion-
ably has grappled with thousands Of "hard
cases in tho form OF disease, and come on
victor. and Dr. Pierce has the spells OF con-
auest in the way of increased reputation and
the thanks and blessing of cured and reJoic-
Ing humanity. Dear, hesitating. sick reader,
you are suffering the same kind OF ills from

by the Golden Medical Discovery, perhaps
It will not cure you. You may be differ
emily constituted from other people;
your system may be constructed on new
and original plan, and work on peculiar
methods and principles. But after all, 1t is
quite probable that you are made a good
deal like other folks, and that what will cure
others will, under about the same conditions,
cure you. II you use the Golden Medical
Discovery your name will soon 90 down on
the long list of the cured and rejoicing. The
Buddhsts have pretty fable OF tree,
called tho red tree OF Koumboum, each leaf
of which bears In relief letter all the letters
spelling out poem 70 Buddha, and this
vegetable poem being beautifully varied
year after year as tho tree renewed its
'oliage. II the vegetable life, whatever 1t
may be, from which DR.. Pierce gets the
wonderful remedial agents OF his Golden
Medical Discovery, we're thus to spell out the
rejoicing of those II had blessed, we should
have poem to match that of the rcd tree of
Koumboum, like 1t varying itself season by

somebody, and he went away stirred up
for all day.
The next man was tailor-tall, spare
and solemn. His toes all of sudden
turned ont, his left leg was lifted, and he
spun once and a-half round before he
went down with the remark: 81 knew

when he struck he realized that he had

was: SIS it possiblep He got up
slowly, forced grin rs the boys chafled
him, and looked back three times to
make sure that he hadn't made hole
which would prove man-trap for other
pedestrians.
The next was bank clerk with pen

He WAS swinging his right hand and
rushing right ahead when he suddenly
saw billions Of stars shining in the morn

somebody was celebrating Fourth of
July; his next was to scramble up and
search for an asylum where he could
hunt up his colar-button and splice his

man in an express wagon. The boys
called to him that he had lost his red
handkerchief and that his nose would
sadly miss it, but he would not wait.

February century,, tells this story of
Sheridan: During the winter he re-
manned near Winchester, hut ~ soon rs
the roads and the rains allowed, Grant
directed him to push once more up the
Valley-this time not to return. He
was to advance in the direction Of Rich
mond, destroying the railroads in every
direction, as well MS all the stores that
,ould possibly be of use to the enemy.
In order to conceal his purpose, Sheri.
dan rcsorted to one of those ingenious
tevlces in which he was unrivaled since
the days of Hannibal He learned that
the people of the neighborhood were
fond OF hunting, and encouraged his
staff to make their acquaintance and
talk of foxes and hounds. A pack of
hounds was found, and day set for the
chase. The hounds were brought into
Winchester, the horses were shod. and
II the talk of the country around was OF
Sheridan's hunt. On the appointed day
the whole neighborhood came to the
meet the General and his staff con-
spicuous. The start was made and the
I'M was good, but the General and staff
went further than the Virginians, and
the army followed. They rode after the
enemy, and never returned The STRAIT.

hand that was given him, the soldier left

1t was stormy November night; the
east wind bowled dismally through the
streets OF Cracow and deep snow COW
cred the ground. There was a sudden
knock at the door Of the merchant
Jonas, and rs the old man opened it two
well clothed persons entered. They were
evidently Jewish merchants, come from
distance. One wore large, heavy
cloak, and as Jonas conducted them into
the room, this one stood himself in the
shadow Of an angle and anxiOusly eyed
the Jews beautiful daughter, who sat
IanguidIy gazing out Of a window into
the stormy night. The man in the
shadow watched the beautiful profile as

himself near Luna's side and stated the
cause of the visit.

The proud answer came quickly: "Be-

into tears at the recollection Of the sad
event, the faithful girl concluded: "He
has my heart, he has my love, and no
other can ever win them"
Elchanan could wait no longer.
Throwing of the cloak that enveloped
him he stepped out OF the shadow to-
ward his sweetheart.
"Elchanan my lover Oh, FL

herself in the strong arms that were held
for her, "My darling have you come
back to me?' And the tears Of sorrow
turned to tears of blessed Joy.
Jonas had the good sense to withdraw,
and with business air asked the soldier
