last night, and that's what hurts me now.
Everybody went to the theatre and left
me home in charge, and at o'clock
went to bed. I was tired and went to
bed for purely business purposes, and not
to answer door bells or keep house, and
in few minutes l was sound asleep.
After while l thought heard the break
fast bell. l Irolled over to take another
nap. You see it struck me that the break
fast was little early, and proposed to
let EN- wait. Ting-a-ling went the bell
again; it kept venting until discovered
that it was the door bell WASN'T going
to be fooled that way though, and
thought l could stay in bed longer than
anybody would stay at the front door, so
| didn't pay much attention to it. II
kept ringing, however, and after half an
hours hard work TO go to sleep again,
got up and poked down through the
dark to see what the dickens was the
row. When 1 got the door open, one of
those United States postal messengers
was there, grinning at me, with a special
stamp letter, and I had to chase around
over the house, hunting for ink and pen
to sign for it. got that part attended
to after barking my shins in half dozen
places and falling over all the rocking
chairs on the ground floor, and then
went up to my room to see who the mis-
chief had such important business with
me as to send me a letter at that hour
of the night, and the light revealed a
letter to my girl from that fourteen
times-a-week-dude, and all the good l
got out of it was an hours anxiety and
whole nights sleep completely wrecked.
That's what's the matter with me now,
and that's what makes me feel that Cleve-
lands administration is a delusion, and
civil reform is a snare as big as hay

Well, give me malaria and I'll give you

just For the Principle.

A man in Copiah county, Mississippi,
came out of his cotton field one day at
noon and turned his plow-mule in the
yard and threw her bundle of fodder,
and then entered the house to eat his own
dinner Amangy, half-starved calf that
was grazing in the yard wandered over
to the mule and fodder and began eating.
The mule backed her ears and heels and
kicked the calf so severely that it fell to
the ground and died.
The children called to their father:
"Oh, papa! Old Bets done killed
Billy
The father Immediately seized his gun
and rushed out into the yard, and, seeing
what the mule had done, in his rage dis
charged both barrels of the gun at the
mule, killing her almost instantly. A
neighbor passing along about that time
inquired:
''Jones, don't you think it mighty poor
business to kill a $100-mule all about a
$2-calf2''

not a money matter with me. 1t is the

Result Of Imagination.

My health got run down, 1 failed in
trade and l thought 1 would go to farm
ing. bought me a piece of land in
Aroostook, built myself a cabin and set
TO work clearing it. This was forty
years ago. 1t was in the fall. 1 didn't
have time to build much of a house, so
l just clapped shingles over the cracks.
1t was rather cold for us-my wife and
me. We didn't sleep very comfortable
nights. A friend told us to get an air
tight stove, put big chunk of wood in
when we went To bed, and the Goals
would keep us warm all night and warm
the cabin. These round sheet-irOn air
tight stoves had just come into fashion
then. l got me one and set her up. A
short time before I turned in, put in a
heavy chunk Of beach wood that l sawed
right off log. We turned In early and
began to talk over our prospects In our
new life.
''What a grand thing that air-tight
stove is for US, Mary Ellen, says I.
"Yes, " says she, "but amt it get
ting little too hot for comfortf'
I told her didn't know but it was,
and so l bIrned down one quilt. Before
we got 20 sleep we had TO turn down an
other quilt. 1t was a cold night but
that new air-tight seemed to heat up tre-
mendOusly.
Il never saw such heater, Jerry,
says Mary Ellen.
Neither did I, says I.
In the night l woke up and it was so
warm that turned down another Quilt
and left nothing but a sheet over rs
Well, In the morning I got up and went

on some more wood. Coalsl Bless We.
there wasn't a spark in the stove. That
big chunk wasn't even charred. There
hadn't been enough fire in that stove,
all night, to tech off my pipe with. The

The plaintiff seems to have been an
eminently prudent and economical suitor.
Handkerchiefs at ten cents each is almost
a famine quotation. The raisins and
candy they no doubt ate together. What
was done with the ''two pound cotton
chain" it is impossible to conjecture. ex-
cept it were to keep the defendant en-
ployed while the plaintiff fingered and
loved. How he could have conducted
a whole summers courting on Horse
hire, 80 cents, is positive marvel. BY
judicious advertising the recipe could
be made tn yield him a fortune in a short
time. The price at which the ring was
obtained would make" a secondhand
store if properly employed as bait to
catch customers. Against the plaintiffs
claim the defendant entered a contra ac-
count. The chief items were three gal
Ions Of oil, used during the courting, and
time lost by the lady's mother sitting up
at nights to watch the couple. The Jury
took the view that value had been re.
ceived, and gave verdict for defendant.

Can Con.nmption bal Cured ,

We have so often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that it can be cured. that we
have unconsciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal
Il is true that occasionally acommunity has
witnessed an isolated case Of what may APP
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but TO what combination OF favorable circum-
stances this result was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made
as certainty and more expeditiously by the use
of the proper remedy In other words, nature
is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more OF less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, IL VIC can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
Of elective affinity IL may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is just
what Pso's Cure for Consumption does. IL
arrests At once the progress OF the disease by
preventing the further supply Of tuberculous
matter, for while the system is under its in
huence all nourishment is organized and as
ton, night-sweats, hectic fever, and all other
characteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write shat IL comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
OF the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage Of a disease 10 always the
most auspicious for treatment This fact should
induce persons to resort TO the use of Pisos Cure
when the cough is first noticed, whether IL has
consumptive diathesis for its cause or not,
Tor this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs
from simple cold. two or three doses OF the
medicine have been found sufficient to remove
the trouble. So in all diseases of the throat
and lungs, with symptoms Stimulating those
Of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infal-
lible remedy.

Cure for Consumption, is a fair sa ample OF the
