DIR. John Bulls Sarsaparilla.

Our druggists tell US they are selling a
great deal of DR.. John Bulls ~Sarsaparilla
1t has not been advertised much in this
vicinity, and we take it that the large de-
mand for 1t is attributed merely to its ex-
traordlnary merit as a blood purifier and
strengthening Alternative. We know of
several instances where it has put sick mon
and women on their feet after physicians
had exhausted their skill. 1t is a medicine
very first dose seeming to do good. The
blood is the life and we believe there is no
other medicine made so powerful as a blood
purifier as this remedy. And it does look
as il when the blood is made pure a person
naturally gets well. We advise any of our
subscribers who are ailing and feel sick from
any cause whatever to give DIR. Bulls Sar-
saparilla an immediate trial.-Covington
Express.

A case is on record OF n woman who lived

essary to state that 1t was in ''the olden

makes life scarcely worth the living to SO
many women. But for these sufferers there
Is o certain relief. DR.. Pierco's Favorito

in the o%varies, weak back; in short, all
those complaints to which so many women

S IT PLEASANT TO BE oLDq

Friend, is it pleasant to be oldf
No, save only that the streets Of gold,
And pearly gates they grow SO near,
And jasper walls SO bright and clear,
That like picture they unfold,
In this tits pleasant to be old.
'Tis pleasant, too, to think that life,
With all it's tumult vast, and strife,
It's himsy joys that fade so fast,
It's storms that bid US stand aghast,
And other ills are almost told;
In this tits pleasant to be old.
And then the aged feel that rest,
Is Of blessings sweetest, best,
And sure to know that rest Is near
Brings much to comfort and to cheer,
A rest above what earth could hole,
In this tits pleasant to be old.
'Tispleasant that in age we stand,
With feet so near the border land,
That just beyond the sullen tide,
That's seldom very deep or wide, GIG
We enter in the dear old fold,
In this tits pleasant to be old.
And when we draw so near LIES verge,
And hear the sullen river surge,
And earthly sight grows faint and dim,
Our vision clearer is for Him,
Who says, the aged I uphold, i
In this tits pleasant to be old.
And so we murmur not at all,
AS ages night doth round us fall,
But upward look with faiths clear eye,
Beyond the EARTH beyond the sky,
TO jasper walls and streets of gold,
And there none ever do grow old.

Then with wise shake Of her head sho I

answering ring shouted "Send down !

she was quietly sitting there when the he !
master returned. There was no tole- |
graph in that part Of the country anu
Poll had often watched her master talk !
through the telephone to the station !
master at jerome, a small
town not many miles distant. In !!
about half an hour the, passenger
train was due. When it was nearly /
time for the train to come the station |!
master thought that he heard the noise !
Of a train in each direction, but con- !!
GLIDING that he was mistaken he did not
trouble himself to look out. In few
minutes the passenger train passed up, ;
but it did not stop, and in another mo-
ment fearful crash was heard, p1erc-
ing shrek rang out upon the night air
and then piteous groans were heard. 2
Snatching up lantern the station-mas-
ter hurried out A fearful scene was be- :
fore him. The freight train attached to
the engine lib had come into collision
with the passenger train.
Fifteen passengers and both engineers
were killed and five passengers were in !:
iured seriously. In short time the;
whole town was astir. The injured were
cared for and an engine arrived and !
pushed the broken cars on a side-track.
Much excitement prevailed throughout
the town. The people wondered who it
was who had telephoned to the station
master at Jerome. They did not solve
the mystery for many a long day and
both stationmasters very nearly lest
their situations, but as nothing could be
proved against them they were allowed
to remain. One evening in June as tho
station-master at B sat doing in his
chair he was aroused by hearing the
telephone ring. Looking up he saw PoA
sitting on the shelf above the telephone
and heard her call out in her shrill voices:
ssSend down 49,"
