The wonderful efficacy OF Swifts Specific as q
remedy and cure for rheumatism and all blood dis.
eases. has had more conspicuous illustration
than this ease affords. The candid, unsolicited and
emphatic testimony given - the venerable gentle
must be accepted as convincing and conclusive.
The writer Is prominent citizen Of Mississippi The
gentleman to whom Mr.. Martin refers, and to whom
he Is indebted for the advice to which he owes his
ANAL relief from years OF suffering, is Mr. King. for
many years the popular night clerk of the Lawrence

From the day tho first train was run
over the track OF the A. & Z. X. X. engi.
neers, conductors and brakemen have
been paid on the basis of mileage, and
their compensation depended entirely on
the number OF miles run or the amount
OF work done during the month. Super.
intendent Gaddis took charge of the road
a few days ago and TO him the liberal
salaries earned by extra work and long
hours by the employees seemed exorbi.

On the Georgia railroad from which he
came, and last Wednesday the brakemen
were notified that in the future their
compensation would be si5 per month.
Everybody knows that no workingfnan
can 1.-Two OH tuat amount OF monthly com
pensation, and 1t is not surprising that
tho order created a sensation in railroad
circles.
4 meeting OF railroad employees was
held at WiEslow on Thursday and it was
resolved that unless the new Superinten-
dent reccded from his position within "a
hours all train nlen, including conductors
and brakemen, would refuse to take out
trains. \ committee was appointed TO
visit Albuquerque and confer with the
Superintendent, and after representing

that official decided to visit Winslow and
investigate for himself. This he did. with
the result that the brakemen will continue
TO work on the old mileage basis and the
additional concessions arc made that
freight brakemen viii be allowed 100
miles forrunning overt the third and fourth
divisions. which are respectively but IS

will be allowed full time, and that brake.

Fill Taking aHd Dram Drinking.

Pill taking, like dram drinking, must
have beginning. The panacea is pressed
upon friend; he buys box, and then
he, too, becomes a regular customer. 1t
sets US thinking Of the Vicar who was
recommended by country doctor to take
little stimnlant, and at last reluctantly
consented to do so. For the good man
believed in the force OF example, and
hence had been an abstainer for many
years. So he decided to keep the bottle
in his wardrobe and take little with hot
water at the time at which no was shaved.
When tho Ksculapius called at the end
OF week the Wears butler announced to
him that his master had gone mad.
"For," said he, "he's crying for shaving
water all day long" The downward path
is as easy in the matter OF pills as in the
matter Of strong driak. Review.

All Drinks the Same to the Drunk

A novel bet was lately decided in a
restaurant in this city. A gentleman as
serted that the majority OF men did not
know what they were drinking, and offer
ed to bet that he could confound any one
30 that he could not tell water from
whisky. One of tho party accepted the
wager and the preparations began. The
man was first blindfolded and then a
number OF glasses containing water, milk,
whisky, sherry, claret, Rhine wine and
gin were set out on the bar. They were
handed 10 the blindfolded man one al a
time and he was told to name the liquor
after tasting it. He got through the list
bravely until lie came 10 the gin, which
he called port wine. Then the man start
ed him back, but II was soon very evident
that his palate had been knocked silly.
He called milk water, and finally was
forced to admit that all the liquors tasted
alike and that he had lost his bet.-Phil-

OvERTHRoWING A GIANT.

An Anecdote OF the Boyhood DAYS of
Germany'a Great Chancellor.
In the winter of 1924 boy was play
ing in the garden of an old country
house in Northeastern Germany. On
the pedestal of 8 statue broken by the
French soldiers when they swept over
Prussia and Poland eighteen years be-
fore he had piled the snow into the
rude likeness Of an enormous man,
which he was pelting Justify with
stones and snoWballs.
Though not yet ten years old, he
was unusually tall for his age, and
very strong and active. His features
were plain, and even heavy, but there
was a nameless something in the ex-
preston of his firm lips and large
bright eyes in which a close observer
would have seen the promise of great
things to come.
Shot after shot hit the great white
figure, but though the giant tottered,
he did not fall. Then a sudden and
startling change came over the boy s
face. His teeth clinched. his eyes
flashed fire, and his whole face seemed
to harden as the uncOnquerable spirit
that was one day to shake all Europe
boiled up within him. Selling a heavy
stone, he hurled it with all his might
at the monster, which tlembled,
lurched forward, and broke into a
thousand pieces.
1s Hello, Otto, what art thou doing
nowp" cried an old servant of the
household, coming round the corner
at that instant, with q broad grin of
amusement on his weather-bea Wis
age, SCARED by the French sabers
which he had faced by Blucher's side
at Ligny and Waterloo.
g am Germany ouertlaroaving q
France" " replied the lad, with a glow
OF stern triumph on his boyish face
which quite transfgured it for the mo-
ment.
tsGood:' cried the veteran. as a
flush of excitement overspread his
ruddy face. "Mayhap I shall yet live
to see thee do it in earnest some day.
And SO he did; for, not many years
later, little Otto had become Prince
Bismarck. -David Ker, tn Ha,.pe7.'s
