ANOTHER LIFE SAVED. Mrs.
Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati, Ohio
writes; Early last winter my daughter
was attacked with a severe cold, which
settled on her lungs We tried several
medicines, none Of which seemed to do
her any good but she continued to get
worse, and finally raised large amounts
of blood from her lungs. We called in
a family physician, but he failed to do
her any good. At this time a friend,
who had been cured by DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam For The Lungs, advised me to
give 1t trial. We Their got a bottle,
and she began 20 improve, and by the
use OF three bottles was entirely cured.

The Town Site Company

readers, is a association of men who make
up their minds that a town should, would
OF could grow up at a certain point in a
wild region whittier civilization is tending,
or whittier a rush is expected, contingent
upon a certain event, like the discovery
of precious metals or the completion of a
railway. Under avs of the United States
these men take up" a certain area upon
which to build their town, and proceed to
put it into as presentable a shape as cir
cumstances will admit, by surveying
streets, indicating parks and reser,
vations for public buildings-hospitals
churches, city hall, libraries and
so on; by bringing water from the hills,
planting shade trees and perhaps Building
a big hotel. In many cases the railway is
a partner and helps by concentrating
operations at that point; indeed, the ext
gencies of railway construction and oper
alton are generally the most potent factors
in deciding the locality.
The place plotted and the company"
on the ground, lively advertising begins.
The floating frontier crowd rushes to the
new spot and a wild speculation in town
lots at once begins, prices being paid that
have no relation to the intrinsic value of
the property acquired, which, as yet, is
worth next to nothing, but, like the wild
cat stocks Of Wall street, simply repre-
sent the amount q man is willing to stake
on that particular card, or the rental he
can afford for immediate use and oppor-
tunities. Ernest lngersoll in The Cos

The antiquities of Toledo are not the
only interesting things. The sights from
day to day on the streets and in the family
circle are peculiar. The very children
rave queer sports. One of their ~favorite
pastimes is to parade in a lark hall with
slow step and drone a chant in imitation
of a church festival service Boys are
also fond of playing bull fights, the
bull" part being taken by some lad not
distressed by rough handling. Owing to
the narrow streets, everything seems
mixed up together-wine shops, vege
tables, children, citizens, cadets, loafers
and beggars mingling in one mass.
The people generally are simple and
good natured. The chief street is shaded
by awnings, and every public doorway is
screened by a striped curtain. Foreigners
visiting the town are dubbed the
Strangers, and SO referred to on every
occasion when designation is necessary
The leading place of amusement is called
he Grand Summer theatre" 1t is with
in the ragged walls of a once grand build
ing, nov half torn down. 1t is quite q
common thing in the evening to hear
guitar duets in the narrow, lark streets,
being given as serenades to ladies in the
house before which the playing is done.
The skill displayed by some of the
players is marvellous, and the music is de
lightful. The treble is carried on a small
instrument called a ''mandura" that
makes a most pleasing combination with
the guitar. Often professional play ers are
hired to go and play before a house, and
will thrum out native airs for several
hours, smoking cigarettes assiduously all
the while.-Globe-De Democrat.

supers.ttious ABOUT His VIII.

There is a man in town who has rheu-
matte govt. He has also great riches and
a collection of art and curios that nave
been the joy and solace of a life much
broken up by tho twinges of his great
toe. h collection he values beyond his
money, and is in great fear Of it falling
into the hands of a relative who is his
nearest heir This he is determined at
all hazards shall not occur; at the same
time, he will not make a will, although
his attacks of govt are frequent and Dan
gerous.
AS many men he is superstitious about
making a will. He feels that If it was
once lone there would be nothing left but
to wait for the undertaken. The result
is that when he is free from pain he feels
the collection to be safe. but when an at
lack comes on it is intensified by the
mans ludicrous fear lest he will die be
fore he has put it out of his brothers
reach.
His doctor and friends have argued
with him, but to no purpose. Every time
he is violently seized the servants run for
the doctor and lawyer at the same time.
Fables are drawn up, and pen, ink and
paper are in readiness as promptly as the
medicines. Again and again wills nave

he has been he has never yet signed one.
me other DAY ne had a violent seizure.
There was the usual hurry and scurry.
He was really felt to be dying, and as the
end was supposed to be near he was held
up in bed, quill in hand, and the family
held their breaths in suspense at the
spectacle. His breath was growing fainter
AMI fainter. His hand was carried to the
paper, but he did not sign. He seemed to
be calculating for just time enough to
scratch his name, and then, in the Ian
glage of the novelist, to let the pen drop
from his nerveless grasp and expire. The
alarm of the family finally gave way to
al unruly curiosity as to which would
win, the sick man or death. But the old
man won. He breathed better and at
length he spoke out with an air of deci
sion: Il guess l won't sign it today"
They knew then he was safe for another
attack-New York Evening Sun.

and we pray that comfort, guidance,
and assurance of happiness eternal
and reunion with the loved one

Sir Robert Mcclure Faitleigh has
ended his earthly pilgrimage, warfare
and penance. His sword has fallen
from his nerveless grasp.
Let us hope that he has gone to re.
ceive the glorious honors and awards
of the true and valiant Templar. lie
never drew his sword but in the
cause OF justice aud right. His cour-
age was dauntless If duty called him
TO service. For charity to the fallen
though foe, for generosity and love
of all his fellowmen, he was shining
example. Let us emulate his distin-
guished virtues, May the Spirit of
the Sufferer of Golgotha bind up the
broken hearts of his beloved family.

LAFAYETTE.

LAFAYETTE, KY, Oct. 30-The cit
izens of Lafayette and community
had the pleasure of listening TO the
Hon. j, II, Powell of Henderson, KY,
speak last Friday night on the polit-
zeal issues OF the day, aud il was u real
treat, for il is not often that we, who
arc 50 far from any railroad, have tho
pleasure of hearing such men AS Mr..
Powell. The house was crowded with
appreciative listeners, eager to catch
every word as il fell from the lips of
the ilowery speaker, but there were
two ill-manuered fellows who persist
ed in talking for while to the an
noyance of those near them, and we
are glad to say that those two do not
belong TO our community. Mr.. Pow
ell handled his subject with the abil-
ity of statesman and AN orator. lie
appealed to the common sense of the
working man, and spoke of the fall
Iacies of protection, he paid high
compliments to our present and flu
ture President and TO the "Grand
Old Roman" and also TO our own be-
loved and highly honored "Quinine
Jim,' which was greeted with loud
aud long applause. Mr., Powell made
many friends during his short stay
in our midst.
The II II. is all the talk now, most
of our citizens are in favor of the O.
V. road provided il will come by La
Fayette, and In order to get that road,
we are willing to vote for both If we
can swap votes with those who want
the other road. In other words we
will help them if they will help us,
and unless we do help each other we
will not get either road, so we hope,
that every man in the county who |
has any spirit of enterprise in him
and who feels any interest in the
prosperity of the county will go TO
the polls on the 10th day of Nov. and
vote for both roads. To some, who
know that we voted against the G. Il
Il. II. r. II proposition when il was
before the Court of Claims, this may
seem strange and little selfish. Well,
we would just like for you to show
us a man that hasn't a little selfish
ness in him, but il was not through
any selfish motive that we voted
against the proposition, 1T was be-
cause we considered il our duty to
vote as we believed majority of con-
stituents desired we should, and we
would do so again under the same
circumstances, although we expected,
as we told some at the time, to vote
for the tax if the proposition was sub
mitted to the people, we don't believe
any man can product good, sound,
logical reason why we should not
vote for both roads. Then lets, have
both and in very few years we will
have one of the grandest and wealth
lest counties in the State.
