The Parting of the Ways.

Wilkins and Watkins were college
chums and close friends. They had
been hard students and had taken lit
tie outdoor exercise. When they
shook hands and said goodbye, at
the end of their college career, they
were in impaired health. Both had
dyspepsia, liver troubles and trouble
some coughs.
Wilkins had plenty OF money, and
decided to travel for his health.
Watkins was poor. Il must go to
work for my living" said he" but I'll
try the remedy that Robinson talks
so much about-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery"
In less than two years, Wilkins
came home in his coffin. Watkins,
now in the prime of life. is bank
president. rich and respected, and
weighs 200 pounds. The Golden
Medical Discovery saved my life at a
critical time he often says. "Oh, if
poor Wilkins had only tried it =
For weak lungs, splitting Of blood, all
lingering coughs, and consumption in
its early stages, it is an unequeled
remedy.

The New York Sun was very much

The New York Sun was very much
neensed in the recent campaign be-
cause ex-President Cleveland refused
to make canvass in favor Of Mayor
Hugh ]. Grant and the other local
candidates Of Tammany in New York
City, and took occasion to villify Mr..
Cleveland in it's usual indecent way.
Mr.. Grant WAS reelected Mayor, how
ever, although the Independents made
q strong fight against him, but Mr..
Cleveland has already been vindicated
for his course. One of Mayor Grants
first acts was to appoint as a Judge Of
the police court Pat Diver, a notori-
Gus saloon-keeper, ignorant and I'M
lettered, who hasn't the first qualifi-
cation for such a responsible place.
But he has q political pull, and no
doubt the bargain was fixed up be-
forehand. Grover Cleveland seldom
goes wrong, and when he refused to
advocate the election of the Tamma-
ny politicians he was only doing what
his infiexible and uncompromising
patriotism demanded of him.
