Mr.. J. Fl. Harris, Burkeviile, Va:
MY DEAR SIR-It gives me great pleasure to
add this estimoni to the many others you
have of the valuable properties Of your Min
eral Waters, especially Spring No. l.. My wife
has been a great sufferer from dyspepsia. sour
stomach and headache-in fact. she was most
this winter we spent a month in your pleasant
little town. and she commenced to drink the
water so highly recommended of Spring No. l.
She tried Spring No. 2, but l think the water
from that was too strong for her.
Let me say that after she had used the water
one or two days she did not suffer with dys-
pepsia, sour stomach or headache the whole
time we stayed at Burkeville. She drank the
water freely before and after each meal, and
would eat anything she felt like. My wifc's
health has been a great deal better since using
the water. Wishing you much success. and
that suffering humanity may learn of the
value of your water, ! am yours truly,

He Knew the Enemy.

tits related that at a recent sham battle
young lieutenant, posted with his COM
pany behind wall ordered his meu to
fire at detachment of troops who were
marching by.
The guns were loaded with blank
cartridges, and no harm was done; but
the detachment happened to be on the
same side of the sham fight as the COM
pany which had fired at it.
The commanding officer came riding
up.
''Why did you fire at those men?' he
demanded of the lieutenant hotly.
Il supposed they were the enemy"
said the lieutenant.
and what led you to suppose they
were the enemy?'
Because my tailor was Mt the head of
them, and / saw my butcher in the
ranks. What else could suppose, sir?''

Amateur Gardening.
Bring out the rusty garden rake,
Hunt up the hoe and spade,
For spring is here, and it is time
To have the garden made.
Your wife will lean upon the fence
And watch you while you work.
She's always prompt TO give advice,
She'll never let you shirk-
Don't waste your time in trying to tell
The bulbs from worthless weeds;
Dig them all up; that's easiest, and
You'll need the room for seeds.
Work hard, man, you won't break your
back.
Though you may fear you may.
Don't stop to lean upon your spade
Think what your wife Will say.
Then-when you've got the garden dug,
The seeds all out of sight,
You'd better hire a gardener
To do it over right.
