A FEW years ago Dr W. S. Standiford was one of the most prominent practic- ing physicians at Hot Springs, Arkan- sas. Habits of intemperance grew upon him, however, and his practice began to fall away. He then went to Chicago to try and reform in a new social atmos- phere. The whiskey thirst grew, and in an effort to recover from the effects of his debauches he contracted the mor- phine habit, and was soon the slave of both liquor and morphine. It was then that his friends prevailed upon him to try the bichloride of gold treatment. He remained at Dwight longer than Is the case with the ordinary patient, and when he left the institute last May it is asserted that he thoroughly believed in his own mind that he was entirely freed from the appetite which had so long dragged him down. He returned to Chicago and for a time, it is said, he had no sort of appetite for liquor or morphine. Dr Standiford was, how ever, of an experimental nature, and as the story goes, purely in spirit of in vestigation he began to use both liquor and morphine again to ascertain whether or not his appetite for them was completely dead, as had been claimed by some of the more enthusias- tic advocates of the treatment. He soon found out, and it was not long be- fore the appetite again obtained com plete mastery over him and he is dead.

ROBERT BONNER writes that in 1856, when he bought his first trotter "there were only nineteen horses all told, living and dead, that had trotted in 2:30 or better" At the close of 1890 the 2:30 list comprised four thousand six hun dred and seventy -four steppers, and it is estimated that about a thousand have since been added, making the total hearty five thousand and seven hun dred. Indeed, this list has become so common that entrance to it has lost much of the distinction which it formerly had. Nowadays a trotter is hardly considered fast unless it is in the 2:20 list. No less striking is the lower ing of the mile record. At the date mentioned by MT Bonner no horse had trotted a mile in two minutes and twenty seconds. It was not till 1859 Flora Temple made her famous record of '2:192. By 1885 this had been re- duced to 2:084, and is now down to 2:0S4. A few years ago only one or two trotters had scored mile in 2:1O. Now several have records below that figure, and a two-year- Jll has trotted within three-quarters of a second of it. Equally remarkable has been the rise in value of the blood. MT Bonner doubt less bought many trotters before he paid as high as ten thousand dollars for one. For his latest purchase he drew his check for forty-one thousand dollars. Even this seems small compared with the hundred and five thousand dollars poid by other parties for a trotting stallion.

Let's reason together. Here's firm, one of the largest the country over; it has grown, step by step, through the years to greatness-and it sells patent medicines !--ugh! . Ss---
 That's enough !'
 Wait little
 This firm pays the newspapers good money Expensive work, this adver- tising. } to tell the people that they have faith in what they sell, so much faith that if they can't benefit or cure they don't want your money. Their guaran- tee is not inde finite and relative, but definite and absolute-if the medicine doesn't help, your money is Ion call"
 Suppose every sick man and every feeble woman tried these medicines and found them worthless, who would be the loser, you or they?
 The medicines are Dr Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" for blood diseases, and his "Favorite Prescription" for peculiar ills. If they help ,oward health, they cost $1.OO a bottle ,ach /! If they don't, they cost nothingI

HOW IT SEEMS.

The sensa ions Of One Up Ia a Bal
IOOn-A. rOnaut Gouid-s Experience
As The slang phrase goes, the man up
in a balloon isn't in it,
This may be true in one sense of the
term. but IN another perhaps. it is not so
much so. At any rate so says Aeronaut
W. a. Gould, who made the leap at the
watch tower Sunday afternoon.
You have no idea of what a de-
llghful ride it is ascending into
the aerial regions" Mr.. Gould
said this morning., but when YOU cut
loose ard get started down-.hen it's
different, At first you shoot down like
meteor-so quickly you hardly resl.ze it.
Then the parachute opens and you are
jerked up with snap. You don't have
time TO regain your self possession until
the descent becomes more gradual. and
from this time the experience is more en-
iovabie. l. is all over in q minute or
two, but in that small space Of time the
N an who gets off the earth in balloon
and comes down hanging TO para
chute has gone through an ordeal that
has left effect upon his memory.
Take il Sunday, for instance. ! tell
you what I got a lovely view of the
tower and surroundings as l went UP.
Anyone on the ground thought that there
were a great many people there. A man
up in balloon knew it. The top of that
tower was black mass of humanity;
never saw larger crowd, and my disap-
pointment was all the greater on that &C.
count that could not have given bet
ter exhibition. People are very ap. TO
misjudge the opportunities of an aero
nsut. They don't know the difference
between q difficult Jump and an easy
one. That leap of mine Sunday WAS the
most dangerous ! ever took. If l had
been up 1000 TO l, 500 feet, would have
had no trouble. A jump from the clouds
gives the parachute more chance to open
and on this alone the parachute leaper
depends to stay the force of his fall. On
the way the par chute works, depends
the mans life who hangs to it. Sunday
went up as high as the balloon did and
jumped. Ii it had gone higher / would
have deferred the lesp and it would have
been much safer. But saw the balloon
was settling. had one or two slterns-
tives and had to decide quickly-eiiher
to stay with the balloon and disappoint
the multitude or jump. l took my chances
and cut loose, and here am with stiff leg
in consequence. 1t is wonder l have
not two broken legs or broken neck"

thirty-three who wish to join. District At
