A Noble Husband.

A man and woman who were evil
IDENTITY husband and wife, and probably
journeying to some point on foot, sat
on the steps of the Mechanics block
with their bundles the other noon to
eat luncheon. The man spread hand
kerchief on his knees and pulled out a
hunk of bread, apiece of meat, two ba-
nanas and two onions, and began eat
ing. The wife made no attempt to
help herself, nor was anything offered
her. The man got away with the
bread and meat and one banana, and
he was pecling the other when law
yer's clerk who had been interested in
the affair remarked
Aren't you going to share with your
wife,"
"Allus have" replied the man rs he
bit tie banana in two. land l allus
shall. Here, Bets"
He selected the smallest of the two
onions and handed it out TO her, and
she smiled her gratitude at the clerk as
she vigorously munched away. De

Excitement in TeNas.

Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr.. j. Il. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn
in bed or raise his head; everybody
said he was dying of Consumption. A
trial bottle of DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry was sent him. Finding relief, he
bought a large bottle and a box of DR..
Kings New Life Pills; by the time he
had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery he was well,
and had gained in flesh thirty-six
pounds. Trial bottles of this Great
Discovery for Consumption free at W.
