XEs, Joe Persons Remedy Sill 10 The Front
TONIC AND NERYINE /

I do not hesitate1to recommend Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy as the finest tonic
1 ever used. At the time I commenced
its use, I had 40 appetite for anything,
never could eat a monthful for breakfast,
and had to force myself to eat, as nothing
tasted natural. I was also so nervous I
could get no natural sleep, waking at
every sound. I commenced with a tea
spoonful, and gradually increased the
dose. Three weeks use of the Remedy
worked wonders, my appetite became
natural, I could eat anything I wanted
and relished it, my sleep became sound
and natural, a band of music would hardly
wake me now. Ny general health is ex-
%cellent, better than it has been in ten
years, and this change is owing solely to
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy, as took no
other. AS a tonic and neryine # cannot
be excelled. ANNE DAVIS

How Abraham Lincoln Dropped from .
window Of the Illinois Capital.
President Lincoln" said western
senator the other day, "was nothing
il not original, and some Of his politi-
cal devices while a member of the
legislature Of Illinois were marked by
a quiet and ingenious readiness OF re-
source which was sui generis and
would put TO shame the most cunning
tricks of these later days in the matter
of quorums, caucauses and 'dead,ocks.'
Here is sample Of his genius in
that particular line" continued the
senator. which | have never seen in
print Mr.. Lincoln was always an
enthusiastic advocate Of internal i'm
provements. and while a member Of
the legislature left no stone unturned
TO further the good cause In 1886 the
Illinois and Michigan canal was be-
gun, and patriotic Illinoisans pro-
phesied that in cheapening transpor-
tation and cost of commodities de-
Gvered almost al the farmers doors it
would prove a veritable Fl Dorado TO
the state. The following year, how
ever, was one Of deep financial gloom
and disaster, from which the state Of
Illinois suffered so greatly that all in
ternal Improvements were suspended
for season. During one session of
the legislature the majority was very
anxious TO secure a vote suspending
the prosecution Of all public works
within the state
"The question of no quorum was
raised; but an actual couht revealed
the fact that there was exactly a quo
rum present with not one man TO
spare. The speaker ordered the ser
geant-at-arms 10 lock all the doors TO
prevent 'bolting' and secure a vote.
The fact that some Of the windows
were open, however, had either been
overlooked or else no one for a mo-
ment supposed that any member
would be so rash as 10 seek AN exit
from the building through windows
which were more than fifteen feet
from tue ground. Mr.. Lincoln, how
ever, after a quick, quiet survey of
the situation, went TO one of the win
dows, and, putting his long, compass
like legs over the sill, he let himself
down until he hung by his finger tips,
and then dropped gently and unhurt
TO the ground.
1T is true" sententiously observed
the senator, "that few men who did
not stand six feet three inches in their
boots would have ventured upon such
heroic measures; but Mr.. Lincoln not
only broke that quorum all TO smash,
but also showed how profitable both
presence Of mind aud absence of body
may prove 10 be at one and the same

Turned the Hose on the Governor.

Gubernatorial dignity met with a
serious mishap Governor Hoard was
sitting on a neighbor's veranda on a
pleasant evening, together with quite
a party OF ladies and gentlemen, while
young lady of the neighborhood was
playfully dallying with hose on the
lawn in front Occasionally she
would roguishly permit some sprays
TO settle gently over the party, at once
naively apologizing for her derehc-
ton. =,
Finally. the governor, who was in
Anood for fun himself. quietly arose
and, with a twinkle in his eve. saun-
tered down the walk in the direction Of
the young lady, Of course intending,
when a good opportunity offered, TO
seize the hose and give the roguish
girl good drenching for her mis-
cheiyous pranks But the latter,
though appearing utterly unconscious
OF her surroundings, was keenly on
the alert, and when the governor was
oil but ready 10 spring his joke she
suddenly whirled and turned the hose
squarely on him. A powerful stream
struck the manly executive bosom,
played fcstively about the face. and
wet the man from head 10 foot.
While the delugcd governor, spu3-
tering and dripping, Stood dumfoupdr
