For Home Use.

I have tested it's curative power, in my
family, many times during the past
thirty years, and have never known it
to fail. 1t will relieve the most serious
affections of the throat and lungs,
whether in children or adults" Mrs.
: E. G. Edgerly, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
"Twenty years ago 1 was troubled
with a disease of the lungs. Doctors
afforded me no relief and considered
my case hopeless. I then began to use
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and, before l
had finished one bottle, found relief. I
continued to take this medicine until a
cure was effected. I believe that Ayers
Cherry Pectoral saved my life."-
Samuel Griggs, Waukegan, Ill.
"Six years ago I contracted a severe
cold, which settled on my lungs and
soon developed all the alarming symp-
toms of Consumption. I had a cough,
night sweats, bleeding of the lungs,
pains in chest and sides, and was so
Frustrated as to be confined to my
bed most Of the time. After trying
various prescriptions, without benefit,
my physician finally determined to give
me Ayers Cherry Pectoral. l took it,
and the effect was magical. / seemed
to rally from the first dose IF this
medicine, and, after using only three
bottles, am as well and sound as ever"

JoaNsTowN, Pa, June S.--Governor
Beaver viii call q special session of the
legislature.
Adit Gen. d. II. Hastings sent tele-
gram to the governor at Harrisburg de-
claring that an extra session Of the leg
islature for the purpose of making an
appropriation OF Sc 900, 900 for the relief
Of the people of Johnstown was import
ant. Gen. Hastings was at the wire and
had q long and earnest talk with the
governor. He told him that in his ludg-
ment a special session of the legislature
should be called at once. He said he
had carefully gone over the situation
and had sought the opinions of others.
He was extremely anxious to know
how the contributions were coming In,
and said that it would be necessary to
make heavy daily drafts on whatever
amount might be raised outside In order
to keep the work going on. He said If
the contributions reached million it
would take that amount to clean out the
city debris and pay the people Of Johns
town and the men who were employed
from outside.
The State Should Give ~. 900. 900.
In addition he thought the state should
give S2, 100000. Gen. Hastings told the
governor that if he thought his Hast
mgsO Judgment too high he would be
glad If Governor Beaver would come to
Johnstown for day or two and look it
over.
After the talk over the wire with
Governor Beaver Gen. Hastings said:
'sThe work that is going on now SO
nicely cannot last longer than week or
so at the outside unless the money for
conducting il on a permanent basis is
furnished either by the state or the peo-
pie Of the United States.
/ It il stated on almost undOubted
authority that Governor Beaver has de-
cided to call an extra session Of the state
legislature.

Wanted q New Assistant,

A short story comes down from
a small lumber camp in Wisconsin,,
showing the peculiar manner a
Swede had of expressing himself.
The Swede was the "boss" Of river
gang, but, as the work was very
light, the@"gang" consisted of only
one man, and he had what might
be called a ''soft snap.' One day
the boss went to the superintendent
and said he wanted another man.
The official looked at him in won
der. "Another man," he said: why,
you don't have half enough work
for the man you have; what in the
world do you want of another one?"
"Dot mans," replied the boss in q
sober and NATTER fact manner,
-"was went unter der lox apout vif-
deem minutes pack und he wasn't
coined up yet; l dinks he vas quit.

History Of Barbed Wire.

The barbed wire patents, which
have netted fortunes to their owners,
have an interesting history. The
first patents were issued to a man
named Kelly, living down East.
About two years later a farmer at
De Kalb, ILL.,, conceived the idea of
keeping his unruly cattle in the pas
ture by putting short barbs on 4
wire and then twisting it with a
plain wire. This is known in the
market as the Gidden wire, being
named after it's inventor, Joseph +.
Gidden. One day, while he was
experimenting with it, a neighbor
going by shouted: "Joe, you better
be out harrerin in your oats instead
of foolin' away your time with pat
ents." Gidden thought otherwise,
and in less than two years received
a bonus of $50, 600, with the guar
antee of a royalty on all made un-
der his patents. For one year his
royalties exceeded $174,OO0.

Character Moulded by Months.

An old astrological prediction
which w. H. Liviter contributes to
the July Harper's Magazine, gives
the character of girl according to
the month she is born in, as fol-

If a girl is born in January she
will be a prudent housewife, given
to melancholy, but good tempered
and fond of fine clothes.
If in February, an affectionate
wife and tender mother, and devoted
to dress.
If in March, frivolous chatter
box, somewhat given to quarreling.
If in April, inconsistent, not very
intelligent, but likely to be good
looking and studious OF fashion
plates.
If in May, handsome, amiable
and given to style in dress.
If in June, impetuous, will marry
early, be frivolous and like dressy
clothes.
1fin July, possibly handsome,
but with sulky temper and a pen
chant for gay attire.
in August, amiable and prac-
tical, likely to marry rich and to
dress strikingly.
If in September, discreet, affable,
much liked and a fashionable
dresser.
If in October, pretty and coquet-
tish, and devoted to attractive gar
niture.
If in November, liberal, kind, of
a mild disposition, and an admirer
of stylish dress.
