IN THE GRIP or A PLASTER,
~Old SIS" Rheumatic Remedy Had Doubl,
Rack Action Resulfs.

~Old SIS" Rheumatic Remedy Had Double
Back Action Results.
''Old ST." whom all tho habitues of
Park row have known for years, hobbled
down to work tho other night in state
of physical pain. Rheumatism, his old
foe, had settled in his feet, made walk
ing a misery and life bore. While he
was putting on the largest and most
comfortable pair of shoes in the place a
customers attention was attracted by
his groanA
whats the matter, SIP" he inquired,
alphabetically.
"Rheumatism," growled 81, as he
crowded a badly swelled foot into a
roomy brogan.
TRY borax and garlic, old man; it's
the best remedy in the world. I've tried
it many q time and never failed to
get relief sooner or later-generally
sooner
81 said he would try it, but the next
man who came into the store told him
that there was nothing so efficacious for
iniammatory rheumatism as porous
plasters when applied to the affected
part. Borax and garlic he ridiculed as
barbaric remedy.
"Borax," he declared, will shrivel
your feet up so much that you will not
be able to recognize them, and as for
garlic, why the least said about that the
better"
81 was suffering and was anxious to
try anything and everything that prom
ised to lessen his agony. He decided on
the spur of the moment to buy porous
plasters, and he did so.
That night after reaching home he
cut one up, shaped the pieces to his feet
and placed them inside his shoes The
next morning he drew on his footwear
and wore them down to his business in
the evening. Trade was brisk, and 81
was kept moving pretty lively in re-
Spouse to many calls at the counter and
raps on the tables.
All night long he wore the shoes, as
he was determined to give the plasters
a good chance to get in their work.
They got it. That night 81 was COM
PEELED to 60 70 bed with his shoes on,
simply because he could not get them
off. Shoes, stockings and feet had be-
come as one, and they stuck closer than
q brother.
When he arose in the morning the
situation was unchanged and 81 became
desperate. The porous plasters was
still there and so was his rheumatism.
Neither had budged an inch. In de-
spair he held family consultation.
The outcome was that 81 was recon-
mended to soak his feet in hot water
until the plasters relaxed their grip.
Into tub of water 81 plunged his feet
and seated himself on a chair. For
hours he waited for them to thaw, but
the plasters held on with death-like te-
aacity. But at the close of the fourth
hour they showed signs of yielding, and
ST, ably aided by his family, began to
tug at his shoes. Little by little they
gained on the plasters until finally the
shoes were torn off, but with them
came large sections of cuticle from the
soles of poor Sis feet. For many days
afterward 81 walked around much
after the manner of a hen on hot
plate

tiers has not yet lost his scalp, but 81 in

freed tho Minister.

One sunny Sabbath morning the late
Rev. Samuel Hamilton found himself
preaching to an attentive congregation
in Kentucky town. 1t so happened
that tipsy man strayed like black
sheep into the fold; but no one object
ed and things ran smoothly enough.
Presently small dog entered at the
open door and trotted down the aisle
until it reached the front of the pulpit,
when it set up a furious barking at the
minister. The tipsy man, with the ut
most gravity, arose and walked steadi-
ly down the aisle to where the dog was
barking. Selling the animal by the
neck, he held him up before the congre-
cation a moment, and then shaking him
furiously, he broke out with: "Tree a
preacher, will you, you ill-bred pup"
This was too much for Mr.. Hamilton
He could not restrain his laughter and
he took his seat, not being able to dis
miss his gregation.-Yankee Blade.

Evidence Given in to Show That
Baker Loved and Cared For His
Wife.
BY the United Press

ABINGDON, Va, Aug. 6.-The
Baker-Gilmer trial is as interesting
to-day as it was when court opened
more than week ago. The de-
fence began work this morning and
are doing much better than we ex-
pected. The first witness, Prof. j.
A. Davis, testified in substance that
he was we'll acquainted with the
family, and had never seen anything
but perfect harmony between DR..
Baker and his wife, but was not
very much surprised at her death as
he knew her to be in the family
way, and it was understood that she
had usually had trouble under such
circumstances.
Mrs. Annie Biggs was the next
witness, and testified that she was
niece of DR.. Baker. She
was at his house from Saturday
till Monday previous 20 Mrs. Bakers S
death. Latter was very delicate
and spoke to witness of her condi-
ton. Said she was fearful she
would not live through her confine-
ment. She had had three miscar-
riages to witness own knowledge.
Dr.. Baker was at home Sunday
night and Monday. He was ap-
parently very tender and solicitous
in his conduct toward his wife. Wit
ness lived in the house with them
eighteen months. DR.. Clark, thir(
witness, testified very curiously.
He said he came as a witness i
needed. He had been listening tt
the evidence in the case so he coulC
make up his thoughts. He had heart
none but DR.. Taylor's, the Stat
Chemist. Not only was this youn!
man prejudiced in the matter, but i
seems that most of the defence ar

doctors evidence was so sensational
that the audience moved uneasil,

to call a score Of comrads from

Henderson, declared that they had
not seen him on December IL, 1892
