Rheumatism,

DEING due to the presence OF uric

cured by the use of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able TO walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, ] saw by an ADVERTISE
-nent in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long Suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsapariila. / then decided to
make trial Of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am

complete cure. | have since had nc re-

How Young Lawyer Defended an In

How Young Lawyer Defended an In
jured Woman and Made Reputation.
Jonathan II. Pugh was pale faced
young lawyer. Day after day he sat
waiting for clients, but none came. The
first term Of court appeared and his name
had not appeared on the docket At that
time my father was clerk Of the circuit
court. One day there came to him a
poor, sad woman, who poured into his ear
a pitiful tale Of woe, A brother-in-law
had robbed her of all the property left
her by her dead husband, had oppressed
and abused her, and was now seeking to
take from her care her only child, q little
girl 3 years old. My father became
deeply interested in the woman and
promised to help her He at once sent
for Pugh. The young lawyer came and
took charge Of her.case.
The poor woman's brother-in-law was
rich, and he employed the best Of coun-
sci, and made every preparation in his
power to defeat her in court and subject
her to still greater oppression. He even
circulated the most slauderous stories
against her, and succeeded in totally de
alIOl llg ubf BUOu IepuNHtlOO.
This story kindled the soul Of Pugh
and he went to work with fierce deter
mination to nmask the villain. The
day for the trial arrived The neighbor-
hood was thoroughly aroused, and the
old court room was crowded with specta-
tors The sad and dreamy young lawyer
became another mana bold and daunt-
less knight fighting for outraged woman
hood. He arose to speak. The silence
was painful With master hand he
laid before court and jury the work of
the poor woman's oppressor. The per-
iured witnesses withered beneath his
fiery denunciation. Judge, jurors and
spectators bent forward to listen.
As he told of the woman's wrongs tears
filed the eyes of all Then he turned
from the weeping woman to the author
Of her sorrows In terrible language he
expressed the villainy of the man. Sud
denly he faced the victim of his scorn,
and pointing his quivering finger at him
exclaimed: "You have stolen from this
poor woman all her property. Not only
this; you have robbed her not only Of her
last dollar, but of what is more precious
than gold-her good name. And now,
with savage hands, you try to tear from
her arms her darling child. In the aw-
full hereafter you should not even be al
lowed the miserable comfort Of herding
with the common damned, but in some
lower, deeper hell be compelled, singly
and alone, to howl ont an eternity of
woe"
AS Pugh reached this climax it fell
like bolt of thunder on the ears of the
guilty man, and he rushed headlong from
the court room. Pugh's reputation was
made, He was flooded with clients and
was at once one of the busiest lawyers in
town. Illinois State journal.

The pedometer's life of usefulness

The odograph is capable of being

Inartistlc Begging.

The bad habit of begging into which
not few small children have fallen is
growing very rapidly aud should be
checked some way. Most of the little
folks who make practice of asking
pennies of passers by offer no excuse for
their asking, and do not more than half
expect to get anything for it. But of
late the progress made in this evil is
something surprising, and now many of
the children have become so trained by
experience that they can invent any
number of stories of necessity, in order
to be more certain of a response to their
appeals. Some of the stories are quite
ingenious, while others, as the following
will show, are as simple and amusing as
would be expected of them: A stylishly
dressed man while strolling along a side
street suddenly found his way obstruct-
ed by tiny girl, evidently not years
old. Say, mister" she piped, "please
give me penny to buy me shoestring It

One of the noted objects in animated
nature at the capital is Don Cameron's
Scotch collie. A long period of 81
lent observation of the appearance and
peculiarities of politicians, particularly
from Pennsylvania, has given Major a
discriminating idea of their value as
they turn up at The bell pull.
Don's dog is a thoroughbred in more
ways than one. His position of mute in
quisitorial observation is from the mat
in the outer vestibule at the senator's
front door. He invariably lies with his
lower jaw resting on his paws. As the
senator's callers appear he gives them a
glance without raising his head If sat
iafactory he will get up with dignified
motion and step out on the pavement
until the caller enters, and will then re-
sumo his place.
He seems to know the difference be.
tween the callers who get in and those
who don't, and draws the line on the
latter. The regulars, who come often,
are received with great consideration by
Major, who, as soon as he spies them al
the vestibule door, jumps up and wags a
tail Of welcome and moves out of the
way
Those who come and seldom get in are
received by Major eoldly. He keeps his
place on the mat, apparently asleep,
which makes it inconvenient to reach
the bell pull without stepping upon the
knowing animal, When the unwelcome
callers try to make their way within the
door he whines doleful strain, and
often stands up ON the mat and gapes
and stretches.
The amusing animal has also assumed
the guardianship Of the ladies of the
family and invariably escorts them g
square or two when they leave the house
