"pidn.t Know it Was Loaded"
The YOUNG man ten d,,dl

The young man fell d. I'd
A friend had pointeds revolver at him.
"He didn't know it wa. loadedi"
We often hear it stated that man is not
responsible for what he does not know
The law presGpposes knowledge and there
fore convicts the man who excuses crime
by ignorance!
IF I had only known has often been an
unfortunate mans apology for some evil
unlznowingly wrought, but In a matter Of
general interest-as for instance that
laudanum is a poison, that naphtha is
deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged
with q winters accumulations of the waste
of the system-it is ones duty to know the
fact and the consequences thereof. Our
good old grandmothers knew for instance,
that the opening of spring was the most
perilous period Of the year.
Whyi
Because then the blood stream is sluggish
and chilled by the cold weather, and if not
thinned good deal and made to flow quick
" and BEAUTIFULLY through the arteries and
veins, it is impossible to have good vlgor
the rest of the year. Hence, without ex-
ception, what is now known as Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, was plentifully
made and religiously given to every mem
Der of the family regularly through March,
April, May and June. 1t Is matter of
record that this prudential, preventive and
ness, prolonged life and happiness to a
vigorous old age, and did away with heavy
medical expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal. Lexington, KY,
used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla ''for
nervous sick headache Of which had Deen
a sufferer for years. 1t has been great
benefit to me-" Capt. Hugh Harl1ns, LIZA
s. 18th ST., Philadelphia, Pa, says lit puri-
fed my blood and removed the blotches
from my skin" Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton,
Berks Co., Pa, says she "was entirely
cured Of a skin disease Of the worst kind, !"
by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indi-
Gates a very bad condition Of the blood.
If you would live and be well, go to your
druggist to-day and get Warmers Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other

pletely renovate your impaired system with
this simple, old-fashioned preparation of

Warner, who makes the famous Safe
Cure, puts It up, and that is guarantee Of

bers of ne family including the children.

Misery bv the Wholesale,

Is what chronic inactivity of the liver gives
rise to. Bile gets into the blood and imparts
a yellow TINT, the tongue fouls, and so does
the breath, sick headaches, pain beneath
the bowels become constipated and the
stomach discrdered. The proven remedy
for this catalogue of evils is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a medicine long and pro-
fessionally recommended, and sovereign
also for chllls and fever, nervousness and

FRIEDMAN BROS.

Mahan discovered fire in the store of
Wright Bros, No. 300 Main street, under
the Peabody, and adjoining the main en-
trance TO the hotel. lie at once turned in
the alarm, and the department responded
promptly. The Babcock and hook and
ladder men were first on the scene and a
well directed stream from the chemical
engine cxtinguished the blaze in short
order. The store was filed with u dense
smoke, and many thought the fire would
prove a serious one. The fire originated
from defective flue in the front part Of
the store, and just where the firms finest
and costliest goods were stored. Fine silk
bats were strcwn on the floor, and several
drawers in the showcases, filled with fine
hats, were badly damaged by fire and
water. The stock and fixtures were dam
aged about 81 900 worth, fully covered by
insurance in the Home, Bluff City and
other local companies.

Milk n Cheap Food.

A recent medical writer expresses sur.
prise ut the wan OF appreciation-eVen
among medical men--of the real value of
milk, In comparison with other articles Of
food, and, in the case of housekeepers
especially, who frequently find it difficult
TO achieve as great a variety in articles Of
diet as is desirable. this article Is profuse
in the facilities thus provided. In partic
ular, 1t would appear that, SO far as its
nutritive value Is concerned, milk Is far
from being understood, as compared with
other articles of animal food. Again
there Is less difference between the econom
ical value Of milk, beefsteak, eggs or Ash
than Is commonly supposed. Thus the
quantity of water in good milk is 81 per
cent, in round steak rs per cent, in fatter
beef 90 per cent, and In eggs about 6S
per cent.
Now, from analyses made, it is csti.
mated that sirloin steak, reckoning the
'oss from bone, is as dear at thirty five
cents a pound as milk at twenty-four
cents a quart; that round steak at twenty
cents a pound Is as dear as milk at four.
teen cents a quart; and corned beef at
seventeen cents as dear az milk at fifteen.
The result from these deductions seems TO
be that milk at even twelve cents a quart
is the cheapest animal food that can be
dsed.-New York Tribune.

Few people know and fewer remember
one great service which Daniel Webster
performed for mankind In the ten days
during which be was a member Of the
Massachusetts, legislature. In one of his
speeches he said, speaking Of that time:
Il turned my thoughts to the search of
some good object in which | could be use
full in the position, and after much reAec-
ton l introduced q bill which, with the
general consent of both houses Of the Mas
sachusetts legislature, passed into a law
and Is now a law of the state, which en-.
acts that no man in the state shall catch
trout in any other manner than with the
ordinary hook and line" How many men
have done as much for mankind in a whole
lifetime as he did by this one act?-David

Or. Sawyer has his own views concern

prophetic, ''Thc doctor should come and

Cayety Among tho French.

The Irish are the gayest and most un-
derfed people In the world save the Span
iards, who are happy on a crust of bread,
an onion and a cup of water. Goldsmith
remarked that the gayety of the French
man was In al inverse ratio 10 the weight
OF his purse, This is true in our time as
In his Nothing IL more dull, more for
NAL, more insipid, more inane than a social
evening gathering Of French who usually
dine of trente-six plats. They have no
life in themselves, and have to get boufe
opera singers to stir them up. And even
III laughing ut these they are dull. On
the other hand there is always fun and go
among the poor, hard worked French. 1t
is this class which furnishes priestesses
to the laughter loving goddess, who sweep
here the wealth of the world to her altar.
