Log Cabin Success.
What ais the Young men 2

What ails the young men2
Robert Garrett's father left him fortune
of twenty millions. He was from childhood
reared in luxury; he received splendid
education with an especial training into a
thorough knowledge ofrailroad management
and was expected to succeed his father as a
railroad king.
Within three years after the responsibility
which his fathers death threw upon him
were assumed, he is reported broken down
man, with mind and health permanently
shattered.
George Law is another young man LEFT
with millions Of money, who is reported
among the wrecks" His father, bred a
stone moson, was of gigantic size and
strength, with commensurate brain power,
so he became a great contractor, then a rail-
road king, and left halt dozen millions for
his son to dissipate. The young man is a
success as a dissipator
The founders of both of these great estates
were born in the most humble walks Of life,
grew strong, mentally and physically, by
simple living and honest labor, and devel.
oped into financial giants. Their sons were
reared in the lap Of luxury and developed
into intellectual pigmies.
The great mes of our country have not,
as rule, come from the elegant mansions oi
the cities, but from the Log Cabins Of the
rural districts. Simple ways Of living, free
dom from dissipation and enervating pleas
ures, simple remedies for disease, effective
and which leave no poison in the system,
develop brawny brainy men, who compel
the world to recognize their strength and
power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log Cabin
remedies are the safest and surest for family
use. Our grandmothers knew how to pre-
pare the teas and syrups Of roots, herbs and
balsams, which drive disease out of the sys-
TEN by natural methods and leave no after
i'll effects. The most potent of these old
time remedies were, after long and search
ing investigation, secured by H. H. Warner
of safe cure fame, and are now put out for the
"healiug of the nations" in the Warmers
Log Cabin remedies
Regulate the regulator with Warmers Log
Cabin sarsaparilla and with pure blood Civ
ing strength, mental and bodily vigor, you
may hope to cope successfully with the most
gigantic financial problems of the age, with
ont wreekiug health and manhood.

Proof Better Than Assertion.

With such proof as the following letter
from W. H. Dean, of No. 27S Seventh street,
New York, it is not necessary to make the
bare assertion that Allcock's Porhus Plasters
cure lumbago. Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago I was taken with a
very violent pain in the small of my back
It was so severe that I could hardly breathe
every movement caused great agony. fn-
ally found out it was lumbago Being en-
tirely helpless, a friend sent to a druggist
and got two Allcock's Porous Plasters; these
were well warmed and applied to my back,
one above the other In half an hour to my
great delight and surprise, found the pain
began to abate. In two hours was able to
walk out and attend to my business, the pain
being almost gone. Next day. was all right
but continued wearing the plasters for a
week.

The ''De Braak" Failure.


The Expedition which left Philadelphia
nearly two month ago on the steamer Long
Branch to locate the sloop-ofwar De Braal,
sunk nearly 100 years ago near the Delaware
Breakwater, with large amount of treasure
on board have abandoned the search and re-
turned to that port The exploring party,
which was under the command Of Captain
Charles A. Adams of the United States Navy,
included Dr. Seth Pancost, Chaplain Kane
Of the United States Navy, A. J. Kane,
George Shrner, several divers, and the
crew Of ten men. The search has been in
progress for about five weeks, and on Thurs
day morning last Captain Adams asked Dr.
Pancost for money to purchase coal for the
steamer, but the latter had expended all the
money allowed him by the syndicate and
some Of his private funds, and declined to
furnish any more. Subsequently the search
was given up and the steamer started back
to Philadelphia. DR.. Pancoast states that
the syndicate furnished him with S., 600, out
of of which amount 81 500 was expended in
fitting up the steamer Long Branch, and the
remainder of the expenditure, together
with 5000 Of his own money, in conducting
the search for the sunken treasure. Cousid-
cradle dissatisfaction is said to exist among
the members of the syndicate, the assertion
being made that DR.. Pancoast has sold out
the syndicate to the Merritt Wrecking COM
pany Of New York, but this is denied by Dr.

skirts OF the town a small band of Indians
TWO or three companions were with him. While
chatting together, looking about and observing
things generally McAlster became quite
familiar with mongre dog owned by the red
SKINS, whom he proceeded to pet nonchalantly.
Fine dog" said the professor

"Ughl two dollar" replied the buck, hold

Him very fine dog" said Nc Allister, stroking
the cur down the back and taking gold piece
from the end of his tail.
Hi! hi,' exclaimed the redskin, looking on
in establishment, his eyes ready TO start from
his head in excitement
Him very fine dog indeed, quietly continued
the professor, this time taking a whole handful
or coin from the ours tail, and picking stray
pieces from the mouth nose and ears which he
transferred to his pockets.
Strange noises were heard proceeding from
the interior of the animal. He groaned and
laughed and howled and barked, at all of which
the poor deuded redskins stood in the utmost
awe and astonishment, and couldn't for the life
of them understand what had come over the
spirit of the animal. 1t was hard to tell which
was the most surprised the Indians or the dog.
After filling his pockets with gold and taking
another f1stful from the ours tail the professor
left the redskins in peace. He had not been
gone ten minutes before the latter pounced
upon the poor doomed animal and cut him wide
open. Like the goose that laid the golden egg,
there was nothing inside, aad it only fair to
presume that the only reward was fine feast

this state of things was that he was weary of

He didn't know why it was that in this age of

when two men met to take drink. From his

He Resumed His Old Ways.
EJO1n the ,IlLdOe


Claude had just learned something that he
never knew before.
He had read that the proper and only correct
manner of absorbing soup into ones system
was to take 1t from the side of the spoon, never
from the tp-a momentouS edict that has
lately gone out from the public press through
out the country.
He blushed to think how often he had taken
his soup in catch as catch-can style.
But it was not too late to reform. The only
point about which his mind was still in doubt
was from which side of tho spoon the soup
should be taken.
He sat down to dinner that day with the air
of man who is about to do a great and glori-
Gus deed. Then he tackled the soup.
The first few broadsides he delivered at him
self convinced him of these facts:
Firstly, a man, in order to absorb soup grace
fully in the manner prescribed by the etiquette
fend, must shave off his moustache
Secondly, the transverse diameter of his
mouth must equal the longitudinal diameter of
the spoon.
Thirdly, the tip of the spoon must be located
at the side.
Fourthly, even then it isn't possible
Having discovered these facts he resumed his
former untutored manner of eating soup, as it
was handiest.
The world kept on revolving Just the same.

fever and delirious with pain, surrounded by a

would not permit her, saying the Lord would
heal her. ON Friday the girl, exhausted by stIf
