1t always gives US pleasure to record the success
full result of we'll directed efforts in any department
by merit, and tends to promote the general welfare
Competition in all branches of business at this time
is great and he who by energy, integrity and perse
verance takes the lead is worthy of commentator.
In this connection we allude to DR.. Tut, of New
York, who has achieved great victory over long
established competitors in the Introduction OF his
world renowned Liver Pills In a comparatively
short time they surpassed pills that has been before
the public over quarter of century. TUFTS
Liver Pills have gained popularity unparalleled.
Endorsed by the Medical Faculty in Europe and
America, they have become household word on
both continents.
Dr. Tut deserves, and doubtless has, the gratitude
of thousands of invalids who have been healed by
his medicine. In this age of quackery Is refresh
ing to know that there is at least one who furnishes
remedy prepared on scientific principles, and Of
fers it to the sick conscentiously. We record his
success with feeling of pride which every Ameri-
can should have at the triumph Of of his coun-
trymen.

We hired her, but she could not cook:
She knew not how to make bed,
And will swear upon the book
She could not bake loaf of bread.
She into corners swept the dust
A dust-dap she bad never seen.
The range took on q coat of rust.
Pots, pans and kettles were unclean.
Till it was black she boiled the tea.
The pan In which she boiled the fish
She used unclean for fricasee
At every meal she broke dish.
Although of splendid health and strong,
OF work she seemed to be afraid.
She never cleaned the lamps as long
As she could see without their aid
About her rights she had no doubt,
And did not fear of them to speak.
She wanted every Sunday out
And three nights also every week.
My wife to her becoming cool,
She left Us, sulkv, black as ink.
She is now instructress in a school,
Training servant girls, think.
