him away, and he then seized a stick
of wood and Drained her. Her three
children, who were in the house, be
gan TO cry, and one of them attempt

Is Without Knife or Fire.

Mr.. S. Z. Carmichael, prominent
citizen of Henrietta, Texas, writes:
Il wish TO ,ell you what Swift's Spe-
cific has done for my wife. Several
years ago there appeareda splotch on
the corner of her nose which gradual
ly increased in size, and became quite
painful: on washing her face it would
frequently bleed. The doctors called
it cancer, and advised that it be re-
moved by the knife or burning, stat
ing that it never would do to neglect
il. Ny wife refused to have it cut or
burned, but at the same time it con-
tinued to grow worse. After a time
she commenced taking S. S. s., which
effected an entire cure. She used a
half dozen small sized bottles. We
both think there is no medicine in the
world that will equal Swift's Specific,
and we would like for all sufferers to
know the benefit she has received
from il.

The "Fayorite Fashion Journals. +"

These handsome Fashion Magazines
continue TO improve each month in
appearance and usefulness. The Oh
iect of the publishers seems TO be to
give American ladies real, neat, plain
French styles, just as are shown in
the corresponding original French
Editions. The pages of these journals
are not filled up with any kind OF
Cuts or Fashion Plates, used solely
because they are cheap. Ladies pur-
chasing the "Favorite Fashion Jour
nails can rest assured they will find
nothing in them except the genuine
French styles. On going abroad they
would also always find themselves in
the fashion, if they followed the
STYLES as given by these journals.
LA Mode de Paris" and Album des
Modes" are each 81 cts. per copy, or
81. so a year. La Mode" the Family
Fashion Journal, is Is cents per copy,
or 81 so a year If your News Agent

The Case Of Or. Craigen.

United States Pension Commission
er Raum told Dr. Craigen, of Cumber
land. who was dismissed from the Of
flee under the pension bureau for cut
ting the stitches in a patients wound
because he could not pay Zee, that
he rendered himself liable TO arrest
for assault and battery in cutting the
stitches in LatIin's wound after he had
sewed il.
Don't YOU know General Raum
went on, that you had no proprietor
ship in that mans wound or in the
dressing of il. You had no more right
to open the wound YOU had dressed
than you had to make another III the
sound flesh
DR. Craigen was very penitent, and
admitted that he had acted in most
unprofesSiOnal manner aud begged
the Commissioner To leave the record
in such shape that he might be rein
stated. The Commissioner finally
said:
Il will leave it for the public opin-
ion OF Cumberland and the surround
ing country to determine whether or
not YOU shall be reinStated. | have
removed you, but | will not put you
back in your place until you can sat
isfy me that your restoration will be
fully approved by the public senti-
ment of Cumberland The people OF
Cumberland arr your judges. You
acted rashly in a moment of anger
and you did most professional
thing. If when those men refused
your fee and you were satisfied that
they were able to pay it, you had put
them out of your house with all the
force necessary, | should have con
graduated you on doing your duty as
a man. But you had seandalized
your community, and | cannot rein
state you until you bring me proof
that such act on my part will meet

Bell. on the Girls Carriers.

ANY girl found wearing bells on
her carriers will be dismissed" This
is the general order just issued in the
Cape May public schools. The teach.
ers have been annoyed for several
weeks by the mysterious ringing OF
mufffed bells. and search for the origin
of the noise was fruitless. During
class hours IA score of little bells would
suddenly begin to tinkle and then
there would be a general giggling.
One of the teachers who had been
greatly annoyed by the interruption
to study noticed that as a row OF girls
wriggled their feet the tinkling began.
When they stopped the thinking stop
ped too. The teacher connected the
wriggling with the thinking. and sud
denly bouncing on very short
frocked little miss, discovered how
the thing was worked. Some Of the
children had sleigh bells tied to thei.
garters. Others of the bells ranged
i'm size from walnut almost up to a
dinner bell

QUEER LAW.

They have queer CT iminal law in
New Hampshire. AT least they nave
a queer criminal practice. That it is
law we very much doubt; it is in con-
flict with the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States Article 6 of the Amended
Constitution says that the accused
shall have speedy public trial by an
impartial jury. But in New Hamp-
shire il i different. Almy was
tramp. He was a handsome fellow
and brute. He made love TO the
daughter of a farmer who had be-
friended him. He was repulsed by
her and he murdered her in cold
blood. This crime he confessed. No
Jury was empannelled to try him, but
two Judges heard the evidence and
sentenced him TO death. This IL not
the law nor is il even due process OF
law i'm "a free Wetzet Demo
erGt.
The above described method may
not be the best of law, but after all it
has some good points to commend IT.
The prisoner confessed his guilt-a
dreadful, shocking murder. This
method of melting out punishment
simply and swiftly is probably very
satisfactory 10 the people OF that
State. Had he been regularly tried
aud the usual proceedings gone
through with-the tricks and delays
of the lawyers. the false swearing OF
living witnesses, the techincalities OF
the law taken advantage of-Just as
likely as not some fool jury would
have cleared him and the brute have
gone UNPUBLISHED of his crime. There
i a growing disgust at the many
failures of the jury system, and short
cuts to Justice now and then are wei
come reliefs to the people at large.
1t was the complete corruption of the
iurv that forced the people Of New
Orleans 70 disregard the law and
administer deserved punishment. 1t
was owing TO the same thing that
Hams. the red-handed murderer of
Hauuegan. escaped the consequences
of his crime in Virginia a couple OF
months ago.
There are occasions when the New
Orleans style is preferable TO the
usual course of the law" Aid the
New Hampshire method is not with
out its good points, by any means.

4 remarkable story is related OF

A remarkable story is related OF a
Belvidere On. j. dog. Four weeks
ago the animal fell into an old mine
in that locally The shaft is 200 feet
deep. but the dog seems to have es-
capped with no serious injury His
cheerful bark can be heard by any
one at the mouth Of the shaft" He
has been kept alive thus far by throw
ing him fresh meat. 1t is supposed
the animal has found water in the
mine. 1t is said TO be worth a mans
life TO attempt the rescue OF the dog,
which may, however, If regularly fed,
live for several years in his prison.
