CHEEKY Words

From gentleman of Texas to his own
people, and all others over the country,
Hear what he says:
have been a practical druggist in
Tyler for number of years, and in that
time have had occasion to examine. try,
and notice the effect of nearly all the
highly recommended preparations or pat
ent medicines on the market, and as
have suffered untold misery myself, the
past number of years, from severe form
of inflammatory rheumatism, and could
find nothing to cure or relieve me. had
almost drawn a conclusion that all pat
ent medicines were more or less frauds
until about one year ago. | was in
duced ty friend now living in Tyler. to
try preparation known as 3 B. or Bo.
tanlc Blood Balm. and after long per-
suasion on his part, l finally made up
my mind to make one more effort to rid
myself of the terrible affiiction; and it
now affords me the greatest pleasure of
my life to state to the citizens of Smith
county that am entirely cured, with no
traces of the disease left. and all effected
by the magic healing properties of b b.
B., which consider the grandest, purest
and most powerful blood remedy known
| TO man. l have been subject TO in>
| f1ammatorY attacks since ten years of
age, and up to the present time have had
four. The last spell came on me in
November, 1885, over year
ago. at which time l was
confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass
ing the nights IN misery, with no sleep
except when produced by narcotics and
various opiates. The week previous to
using B. B. B. up to that time had only
eaten ak meals, and could scarlely sit up
without support; but after using three
bottles l was able to relish my meals and
to walk up town, and after six bottles
had been used, thank heaven, l was en-
tirely cured. and not the slightest pain
felt since that time. When l returned tc
business in February, my weight was 145
pounds, but gradually increased until my
regular weight was again attained, 21t
pounds. The noticeable fact in what
have so cheerfully stated is, that this un'
paralleled and remarkable discovery, b
B. B. cured me in mid winter, at the
very time my sufferings and misery were
the greatest. l take it on myself AS 1
practical druggist to heartily. cheerfully
as well as conscientIously, recommend
this glorious blood remedy to all sufferer
of rheumatism or blood troubles, and no
only myself, but the firm OF Mckay q
Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in
dorse its superior merits.

The Rutter Color Question.

American Dairyman says: Dairymen
are in the habit of using too much butter
color. While the fact is that pure white
butter will not sell, at the same time too
deep red is sure to injure the price. A
light straw is the proper color, and if the
COWS can do this without let or him
dra ICE all the better, but be sure and see
that they do, or else use the commercial
article that the law does not prohibit.
Hoard's Dairyman, commenting on the
above, says: Glad to see that the head of
the old American Dairyman is level on
the morals of coloring butter. 1t is a
sound view to take that the higher
grades of butter are colored artificially
less and less, for the reason that the gos-
pei of good feeding and breeding is being
more and more practiced, and this ne
cessitates less artificial coloring. We
are for the good butter breeds and for
the big feeds for the cash there is in
them-not so much for the color that
comes with them. But if it comes as an
inherent adjunct all the better, but chief
ly SO because it saves paying out sash for
coloiing matter.

Relieving Contracted Feet In Horses.

Relieving contracted rect IN horses'
The belief very generally prevails that
there is nothing better for relieving con-
trac1ed feet in horses than water. The
great trouble is to apply it properly with
the ordinary bandages. A recent invention
has been introduced to take the place of
the old time swab. This contrivance is in
the shape of metallic foot lined with
sponge and having leather pads covered
with sponge to fit inside the shoe, cover
the sole and frog, which cannot be
touched by the ordinary swab, and also
go up back of the heel. 1t is claimed
that this boot is not only much more
convenient to adjust than the swab, but
that it will hold the moisture much
longer. These boots are made of differ
ent sizes, SO as to fit the feet of both
large and small horses.

a Typical Horse Trade.

There is a colored man in Austin,
Tex, by the name Of Sam Johnsing,
says Texas Siftings. He has some
money, which be has made trading
horses, at which business he is an ex-
pert One day Judge Peterby saw
Johnsing trading with an itinerant
horse-dealer. Having some curiosity
to know how Sam came out In the
trade he asked him:
'.Didyou sell that fellow your horse?''
II did, boss, for fac"
"How much did you get?"
Twenty dollars"
'Only $40! Why. you are q fool;
that's q valuable horse"
'tLemme tell you somethin', boss.
Dat hoss is lame"
Judge Peterby happened to meet the
horse-trader aiterward and said to him:
80 you paid $50 for that horse?D
"Yes, / paid $50 TO the darky. It's
pretty cheap horse
"You have been swindled. The
horse Is lame
II know the horse is lame. but it
doesn't amount to anything. He limps
because he has not been properly shod.
As soon as take the shoes of him he
will not limp particle. wouldn't
take 800 for that horse.
Halt an hour afterward Judge Peter
by met Sam.
Look here. Sam, you were swindled,
after all. in that horse trade. The
lameness Of the horse Is caused by his
not being properly shod."
81 knows he ant properly shod. l
had him shod dat way on purpose, 50
as to make dat hoss-trader believe dat
he was lame from dat cause; but de
troof am dat he Is lame, sure enough,
and he am guinetar stay lame. He
neber will be woff muffin. Heah! heah!
how fooled dat hoss-trader."
The same evening Judge Peterby
saw the horse-trader at the railroad
station. He was just about toleave on
the train for Dallas.
THAT horse is really lame. Sam
has got away with you, after ALL" said
Peterby.
THAT all depends on circumstances.
/ think l can cure that horse; but II L
don't I'm not out anything" replied
the householder, grinning. "Ask
Sam, after he has tried to change that
$50 bill gave him for the horse"
said the horse-dealer, az he climbed
into the car.

beamed upon upon US.
Never was apparition more welcome.
In few words the captain explained the
situation we were in, and told the man
that a couple of English noblemen were
there, and he must hasten.
Like an arrow the fellow flew away to
where posse of men were mending the
road, and they fastened back; but how
to get at Us was the difficulty. Rope
after was flung in vain; we were too far
under to catch it. At last they tied a
heavy stone to the rope, and allowed
it to drift under with the current. 1t

breath with anxiety, fearing lest some
eddy should draw it away from US; but
as it came past, one of US, holding to the
mast, reached out and caught it.
A prayer of thanksgiving went up
from our hearts, while a shout testified
to our rescuers that the rope had caught;
to make it fast to the mast, and cut the

A Terrapin's Beseeching Eve.

David Burnham, living in a near by
town in New Jersey, is exceedingly fond
of terrapin stew, but he does not think
much of the savory diamond back" in
any other form. Nevertheless, a pet ter
rapin that some months ago almost
miraculously escaped the pot wanders
around the plot of ground on which his
house stands and sleeps in his kitchen
every night.
Las October Mr.. Burnham invited
some friends to supper, served to cele-
brate the fifth anniversary OF his we'd
ding. For six dollars he purchased in
Fulton Market five pound terrapin, in
tending to regale his friends with his
favorite dish. He left orders that the
terrapin should be sent by express to his
house, and supposed that it would be de-
livered in a condition better understood
by the cook than the butcher. But the
little creature was by no means in the
soup yet, and when it was laid down for
a moment with its light side uppermost
in the kitchen it proved that it was
keenly alive to the situation by waddling
at its highest rate of speed toward the
door.
twas then turned on its back, and the
cook was invited to slaughter it. Buf
this she emphatcally refused to do, and
as the other servants shared her objec-
tions Mr.. Burnham nerved himself to do
the butchers work himself. Armed
with the family carving knife he en-
tered the kitchen when the rest of the
household had retired for the night. He
says that he knelt down upon the floor
and was about to slit the terrapin's throat
when the succulent creature, lying on its
diamond back, gazed at his face with
such human, beseeching expression in
its mild, bullying eyes that the knife
dropped from his hand, and he deter
mined to spare its life.
The terrapin has shown itself grateful,
but not demonstratively so, for the
mercy extended to it. When Mr.. Burn
ham approaches its usual resting place,
under a great chestnut tree, it croaks
cheerfully, and slowly moves to meet
him. 1t will take piece of bruised and
softened meat, a small fish, or even q
piece of water-soaked bread from his
hand, but its appetite is not large, and it
sleeps most of the time. 1t is growing
fat rapidly, and sweIIs beyond its shell
with posterior and an anterior
plethora-at least so Mr.. Burnham says,
and he has studied DR.. Johnson's mode
of expression pretty closely. 1t does not
fear the cold, being warmly clad.-Neae
York Times.
