Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant.
at-Arms otthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Ced8rviile. Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak Iraised blood. Nobody
thought ! could live. My work tship-
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and / was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition |
commenced using Mishlers Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was 50
difficult TO get it in this little place, and |
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that | have
commenced going rapidly down Hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and l must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
'nication as You please, and if any one wants
TO be convinced of its truth. let them write
me and | will make affidavit to it, for /
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Filters"
Thesecret of the almost inyariable relief
and cure Of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhma, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bit,crs is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and inyigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable

physician; a standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug

A Noble Boy.


One morning last week the engineer
of I'm express train on IN eastern road
was startled by the sudden appearance
on the track ahead OF boy who was
frantcally waving large piece of red
flannel. Interpreting this, of course,
as n warning of danger, the engineer
instantly whistlcd for down brakes. y
Just then the train which had been
going at rate OF sixty miles an hour,
turned sharp curve, and Il cry of hor-
ror burst from the lips of engineer and
fireman, for in the center Of tho track,
but few yards ahead. was Il large
bowdler. In few seconds tie train
came 10 standstill, the COW catcher
almost touching the huge stone.
A few moments later the boy who
had saved the lives of so many of his
fellow creatures was surrounded Ivy
the pale and excited passengers, who
were listening TO the story of the res
cue.
Il was walkin' along the track on
my way to my Sunday-school teacher S
house when | seen that there stun on
the track" began the little fellow,
modestly, and if his grammar was not
of the best no one thought of criticiz-
ng it then. IL knew that this here
train was pretty near due, an | made
up my mind I'd have ter stop her. So

am going to pass my hat around for
contributions for his benefit, and here
is n livc-dollar note for my share, y
Some of the passengers took the +
departure in cons dcrablc haste at this,
but many remained. and in few min
utos heap of coins and crisp bank
notes was thrust into the hands OF the
blushing and bewidcrcd little fellow.
Then the old gentleman who had start
ed the collection handed him card,
saying:
Here you have my name and adj
dress, my lad and if you ever need u
friend come to me.
Then, the bowldcr having been re-
moved from the track, the train started.
The boy watched it until it had disap-
pcared in the distance; then he sat
down beside the track and began count
ing his money. 1t was then that five
other boys emerged from behind u
clump of bushes by the roadside and
advanced toward the cx-hero.

IN THE DIAMOND FIELDS.
How Wealth Hunters Are Periodi-
cally BeguiIed.

The daily scenes in this south African
FL Dorado were very similar to those i
experienced in the gold mines of Cali

us they were finding diamonds by the
handful plenty of open ground sure

gers, while the speculative canteen-
Keepers followed When one of the
Americans from New York and |, after
a threc-milcs' tramp under scalding
sun, approached the reputcd mine, we
found dozen saloons in full blast,
while several carts were coming on the
ground loaded with divers suspicious
looking casks. II looked to us as If
somebody was intent on starting new
town or was anxious TO sell his stock Of
liquid refreshments at single swoop,

was mad with myself that ! had been
so simple minded as to have been one
of its victims. Near by was hole. and
packed close around were almost Il
thousand diggers, while in the cavity n
black man was grubbing the lime. A
few were marking out claims, but the
majority, having seen no diamonds, de-

his scraping.

More people arrive. Claims are mark
cd out. Newcomers are astonishcd at
the industrious scene, and conclude
that this is the spot-thc place that
they have been so long looking for.
No more room for claims, but those in
the secret soize several claims; the pre-
tended original owners get wrathful

rstored, it finally dawns upon the aver

Nose has succeeded in playing his cards
well. The canteen where so much fer
mcntcd refreshmcnt was swallowed be-
longcd to Mahogany Nose, and he
''planted' the diamonds he pretended TO
find. For reasons unnecessary to state.
old Mahogany found it prudent to
abandon his claim, enter his canteen,
and give free treat to all that come.
That settled it, and all was forgiven,

A Slick Rascal.

During the fair slick looking young
man named Barney Arbuckle, but
sailing under the alias of S. Smith,
rented some household furniture of Mr..
VIM. Kelly, worth in the neighborhood
of $50 There was a woman with him
known as Mrs. Edith. Ii is supposed
they had together some sort of fake
ment'' on the fair grounds where the
more you put down the less you take
up. The woman. however, is missing.
After the fair Kelly took the furniture
and sold it for what he could get for it
at different places, and prepared to
skip by the light of the moon" no
doubt thinking it funny, very, very
funny" but Mr.. Kelly "got on to his
movements and put Detective Frazier
on his trail, who spotted him and,
having located him, notified officers
Cliff Scott and Nicely, who arrested
him just as he was getting on the train.
They got part Of his money back on
his ticket, but that was about all, the
woman probably having all the "swag'
they had made at the fair. He is now
in the hands of the State authorities
and his case will be handled by the
grand Jury to-day.
