Stick to Your Bush.

- One. day, whenrI was 'lad,ca party OF
boys and girls we're going to a distant
pasture to pick whortleberries. 1 wanted
to 60 with them, but was fearful my
father would not let me. When I told
him what was going on, he at once gave
me permission to go with them. I could
hardly contain myself for joy and rushed
into the. kitchen and got r. big basket and
asked mother for a luncheon. 1 had the
basket on my arm and was just going
out of the gate, when my father called
me back.
He took hold of my hand and said in
very gentle voice: Joseph, what are
you going for-!o pick berries or to
"Then, Joseph, want to tell you one
thing. 1t is this: when you find pref
ty good bush, do not leave it to find q
better one. The other boys and girls
will run about picking little here and
little there, wasting great deal OF
time and not getting many berries. Ii
you do as they do, you will come home
with an empty basket. If you want
berries stick to your bush.."
Invent with the party, and we had q
capital time. But it was just as my
father said. No sooner bad one found
a good bush than he called all the rest,
and they left their several places, and
ran off to the new.found treasure not
content more than minute or two in
one place. They would ramble over the
whole pasture, get very tired, and at
night had very few berries. My
fathers words kept ringing in my ears,
and ''stuck to my bush." When l had
done with one, / found another and
finished that; then I took another.
When night came l had large basket
full of nice berries, more than all the
others put together, and was not half as
tired as they were.
T went home happy; but when l
entered found that my father bad been
taken i'll. He looked at my basket OF
ripes berries, and said: -"Well done,
Joseph. WAS it not Just, as ] told you !?
Always sistick to your bush. %"
He died few days after, and had to
make my own way in the world as best |
could. But my fathers words sank deep
into my mind t,iahd I never forgot the
experience of the whortleberry party, |
stuck to my bush. When | had fair

A Cure For Hog Cholera.

rrghe1 Lewiston. Gazette published in
Fulton CountyyIll.,s contains the follow
ing:
"Every paper in the United States
ought occasionally to keep the fact be-
fore its readers that burnt corn is a cer-
tain and speedy cure for hog cholera.
The best way is to make a pile of corn on
the cobs, efectually scorch it, and then
give the affected hogs free access to it.
This remedy was discovered by E. 3.
Lock at the time his distillery in this
county was burned, together with large
lot of store corn, which was so much
injured as to be unfit for use, and was
hauled out and greedily eaten by the
hogs, several of which were dying daily.
After the second day not single hog
was lost, and the disease entirely con.
quered. The remedy has been tried in a
number of cases since, and never failed.

7 POISO N

In the blood is apt to show itselfin the
Spring, and nature should by all means be
assisted in throwing it off. Swift's Specific
does this effectively. It is purely vegeta-
BILE, non.poisonous remedy, which helps
nature to force all the poison or taint out
through the pores of the skin.
Mr.. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Tenn.
writes, under date March 10, 1884: ~ had
chills and fever, followed by rheumatism,
for three years, so that was not able to at
tend to my business; had tried almost every
kind Of medicine, and found no relief. A
friend recommended Swift's Specific. l
tried one bottle and my health began to
improve. I continued until had taken
six bottles, and it has set me on my feet, as
sound and we'll as ever. I recommend it
to all similarly afflicted"
Letters from twenty-three Of the leading
retail druggists of Atlanta say, under date
of March "a, 1854: "Wesell more of Swift's
Specific than any other one remedy, and
three to ten times as much as any other
blood medicine. We sell it to all classes,
and many of the best families use it as a
general health tonic.''
am sure that Swift's Specific saved my
life. was terribly poisoned with malaria
and was given up to die. Swifts Specific
relieved me promptly and entirely. Think
it is the greatest remedy of the age.

I have known and used Swift's Specific
for more than twenty years, and have seen
more wonderful results from its use than
from any remedy in or out of the Pharma-
copGia. 1t is certain and safe antidote to
all sorts of Blood Poison.

A FEW WORDS FROM
CAPT. R. w. BONNER,
A WELL-KNOWN
CITIZEN OF MACON, GA.

In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my SON,
who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga. came
over to see me with the sad intelligence that his
wife was in the last stages of consumption and
that her physician had pronounced her case hope
less. j went Immediately over, and felt that
nothing could be done. She was coughing and
splitting necessarily. and at times would discharge
from her lungs large quantity of pus or matter
could not sleep or retain anything on her stom-
ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis
ease: This was about the time you began 10 ad.
vcrtisc Brewers Lung Restorer, and as MY son
expressed desire to give it to his wife, two or
three bottles were procured and with scarcely
vestige of hope we commenced giving 1t to her in
81! small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un-
til the prescribed dose was reached. She began to
improve after few doses and continued to do so
daily. until she was finally restored to life and
ever before. She is subject to colds, but few
swallows of Brewers Lung Restorer (Which she is
never without) relieves her Immediately. l con-
slider her restoration to perfect health 4 miracle,
for which she is indebted to Brewers Lung Re-
storer. My son Is almost m0nOnlaniac on the
subject Of Brewers Lung Restorer and never lets
an opportunity pass where he thinks such medi-
cine would be required, that he does not speak Of
it in most glowing terms. Not long stree North
ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this
cure and was induced by my son to give it to his
invalid wife, and she " Is cured rs if by magic"

Dsniel Webster began his career In Con-
gress by advocating free trade, but became
afterward the leading champion Of the pro-
lection system. About the year 1876, be was
invited to . great tariff dinner at Philadel-
phia, which proved to be one Of the most
magnificent banqus.s ever given In the
United States. The immense hall Of the old
Chinese Museum was engaged for the occa-
sion, and profusely decorated with nags and
banners. At that time no Philadelphia pa
per had q corps of reporters at oil coupstent
to make quick work Of tws-hours' speech,
which requires eight men to report verbatim
with the requisite dispatch for an early issue.
The consequence was that 1t was past ten
O'Clock the next morning before the Wing
paper appeared. There was . saucy little
Democratic sheet published then, called tho
Pennsyiuanian, edited by the iste Colonel
Forney, which played nice trick upon an
expectant public. The editor hunted up Mr..
Webstsr's great speech on the tariff delivered
In 1924, which Was . thorough going argu-
men, for free trade, In direct opposition to
the orstion Of the evening before. Colonel
Forney struck OF a large edition Of this
speech n supplement to his paper, heading
1t, In his largest type, "Webster's Great
Speech on the Tariff" The nswsboys made
the town ring with this cry soon after sun
rise. Horace Greeley, who had come ever
from New York on purpose to hear the
speech, and was anxious to get an early copy
for publication In the Now York tribune,
rushed out Of his hotel and bought several
of them. Many thousands of copies were
sold before the joke was discovered. Mr..
Webster himself, who loved joke, took 1t
In good part, laughed heartily, and said to
the friend who handed him the paper: al
