"GET WELL AND STAY WELL"

Get well and stay well But how shall we do it,
Listen, my friend, and the secret III tell
Though, for that matter there's secret to it,
As many a understands very well.
If you're low-sprited, gloomy depressed,
If nothing tastes good and your nights bring rest
If your stomach is foul and your mouth much foule
And you become that they call you growlern
Be sure that the trouble is due to your liver,
And the blood is as sluggish sometimes a river
Becomes when it's filed with all manner of stuff:
Clear it out and the current smoothly enough.

Mccarthy and Dixon.

Well, Mccarthy didn't win; nor did he lose. 1
thought he would defeat Dixon and said so.
but as far as my prediction is concerned 1 am
satisfied with a draw. Those who invested ac-
cording to my advice haven't lost. 1 remarked
last week that Dixon was wonderful little fel-
low, but had an idea that he was hardly won
derful enough TO cope with Cal Mccarthy.
he has proven that he is how
sII,, ever and prCTTsn pTsn it tell in very cry
long to be of the terrific order. When a contest,
a modern ring contest, reaches the seventieth
round, observant old-tmers will tell US that
there is mighty little hittin' goin' on" have
a notion that such was the case in the fight in
question. Dixon very soon gave Mccarthy and
his friends to understand that there were two
frst-class little bruisers in the ring, and it is
easy to understand that Mccarthy had reason
TO be surprised az the display of Dixon's fierce
fighting qualities The little piece of ebony
many famous little fellows before him had
done. He started out in a way, according to
accounts, that would soon have finished any
other bantam weight, probably, except Nc
Carthy. The latter, who has good judgment in
the ring, soon settled down and also
was a good thing. 1t seems safe to say
that had Dixon. like many more
who have faced Mccarthy, assumed the
defensive, he would have been beaten, because
Mccarthy can outgeneral any man in
his class if he is permitted to be the aggressor.
However, the colored Bostonian likes TO lead
off the dance himself now and again, and
doubtless, judging from the accounts of the
battle, that was one of the chief causes pre-
venting McCarthy's victory. 1t is likely that
they will fight again, and, if they do, another
great battle may be looked for. II all goes
well, am inclined to think that l will still
plump for Mccarthy. may change my mind,

The dy.McCIeIIand Race.

1t is some time since there was so much local
interest in a foot race as there is in the ap-
preaching contest between Peter Priddy and
E. C. McClellsnd. During the last few days
have received several letters from persons, all
making different suggestions as to how and
when the race should be run. OF course, the
object of each suggestion is to have the race
take place at a time and place when most peo-
pie can have an opportunity to see it.
The suggestions are all good and honest
IN their way. For the satisfaction of
those who have made them and have
forwarded them to me may say that have
submitted them to the hackers of each runner

Some Foreign Words.

One of the fair young girl gradu-
ates who quite recently mapped out
the destiny Of the world in an essay
entitled GA Dream of the Future"
has taken to writing society novels,
and her latest effort, the manuscript
of which lies on the desk of the liter
airy editor for review, is we'll up to
the standard in current fiction.
Especially is this SO in the selection
of foreign words and phrases which
abound in the story. 1t strikes me,
however, that they are not always
up to the mark in the application.
For instance, it is going little too
far, think, to say that the rounded
cheeks of Jessica wore a beautiful
sub rosa hue, and that her hat drap-
ed in nom de plumes was most be-
coming. don't quite see how the

Pie for Sixteen in London.

There is a pie shop in London that
Charles Dickens used to stand before
when as a child he drudged in a black
ing factory. Every day, on his way
to and from work, he paused to de-
YOUR the viands with his eyes, and
sometimes, as he said, he pressed his
tongue to the window panes, as if by
doing that he got a little bit of a
taste of the good things that lay so
near, yet were so far beyond his
reach. An American railroad man
who admires Dickens hunted up this
pie shop when he was in London in
order to crafty sentiment and curl
osity. 1t proved to be a mere box of
a place, in a poor quarter of the city,
but the original business was still
conducted there, and pastry of
doubtful aspect and uncertain age
still occupied the window. AS the
traveller peered into the shadowy in
terror a voice piped at his elbow.
please, sir, will you buy me a veal
pie?'
The owner of the voice was a small,
disheyeled person, with whom veal
pie or any other kind would have
agreed right we'll, and he made his
request from motives of undoubted
and strenuous personal interest.
The American replied, as Americans
dosometimes, with another question::
How many boys do you suppose
that shop could hold?'
II dunno. About fifteen or six

"Well, you go and get fifteen more
boys and bring them back here"

a yell. Hardly a minute elapsed be-
fore he returned, the head of a pro-

as to size and clothing, unanimous
in appetite and hope. This ragged

benefactor, and followed him precipi-
lately into the shop when he an.

them all the pie they wanted.

Only a Little Rim Of Steel.

from the Kansas City Star.
L tell you what it is" remarked
an old railroad man to-day, sit used
to be that they couldn't turn wheel
any to fast for me, but it is different
now. The way thesefell lows run nova
days makes my hair stand on end.
We used to think that twenty-five or
thirty miles an hour was high run
ming. People were just as well salts
fed, if not more so than now, and
there weren't SO many accidents.
those days, when a man got on the
ground there was some chance of his
getting away alive, but when you
touch ground on one of these fast
trains now you're mighty liable to
stag there, People are getting to
look upon a mile a minute as com
mon thing, and are just bowling
at a road that dosen't make it.
They never stop to think of the dan
ger. All they think about is getting
to their destination.
why, when I stop and think of
being whirled across the country
fifty or sixty miles an hour, down
hills and around curves, with only
an inch and half of iron between
me and eternity, I get so scared
swear never to get on coach again.
What do I mean by an inch and
half OF iron? Well, you know what
a passenger coach is, don't you?
You know how they're built. A
coach is pretty solid thing nova
days, and to look at one person
would think they were pretty safe,
out THAT'S because you don't know
anything about it. The coach it.
self is all right SO far as it goes, but
it's the wheels. Did you ever look at
the wheels? If you did you may
have noticed how they're made. A
good size, broad enough and heavy
enough, and with a tire of the finest
kind of steel. But, on the inside of
the tire, you see a sort OF rim or
hange. That fange is about an
inch and a half thick and about the
same depth. 1t Doesn't look as if it
amounted to much, that little piece
of steel, but that's just what the
lives Of all the passengers depend up
on. That fange keeps the wheel to
the rail and keeps the coach from
running off the track. ~. ~
"Well, now, when train is going
fifty miles an hour around curve
YOU see how much depends on that
fiange. The whole wei ght and speed
of the train is against that fange on
one side, the outside ofthe curve, and
it is all that keeps the coach from
whirling from the track, Suppose
the fange broke, or, as is often the
case, was worn down and had been
missed by the car inspector, The
chances are ten to one that the
fange couldn't hold, but would climb
the rail and there'd be another acct
dent. The reporters would be told
the rails spread, or something of
that kind, and no one but the COM
pany would know what caused the
accident.
''There are good many accidents
that happen that way, but it doesn't
appear to be any of the public's
business. AS a general rule coach
wheel is watched mighty closely, and
the minute a fange begins to wear
new ones are put on, but many a
time an inspector will miss wheel,
and then the chances are big that
there1l be an accident"

ICE WILL COME FROM CANADA.

Mr.. Palmer, the editor OF the Ice
Trade Journal, said that there would
be no trouble about the family trade
being supplied with all the ice it re-
quired this Summer. He said the
families would be looked after even
if the saloons and breweries bad to
be cut down. Said he:
This is the first time in the history
of the trade, that the ice crop has
failed in two successive years. The
Hudson River crop is a complete
failure. As a rule, between $500
600 tons and 5000, 900 tons are taken
from that river. but l donbt if sc, 900
tons were cut there this year. The

year it is about :, 600, 900 tons. Near.
