They All Failed,

The following letter from w. A.
Thomson, of Columbus, Wis, is Pc
culiarly interesting: "My wife," says
he, "has been treated for her head
stomach and nervous prostration by
three doctors in New York, two in
Chicago, one in Philadelphia, one in
Cincinnati, and at the large institute
ut Buffalo for 6 months. They all
failed. Bnt one bottle of DIR. Miles
Restorative Nervine helped her Won
derfully." This should be used in all
headaches, backaches, changes of life,
nervous disturbances, fits, rheuma-
tism, etc. Ask at Owen & Moore's
drug store for free trial bottle and

and Heart. 9

Mrs. Jacob Scondue, of Springfield,
Ohio, while visiting with her father
in-law at Gaynor City, Mo-, was taken
very sick with cholera morbus. A
physician was sent for, but as the doc
tor was not at home, Mr.. $. E. While,
a merchant of Gaynor City, LANDED
the husband of the sick lady, small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
andDiorrhoea Remedy and asked him
to try that, and if it did not
cure, he need not pay for it;
but it did its work, and be-
fore returning to their home, they
procured another bottle. Uncle John
Scondue says he will never be with
out Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera, and
Diarrhoea Remedy. % and SO cent bot

When bilious disorders are the
cause of dysentery or diarrhoea, or
when they accompany those diseases,
the system must be cleansed and the
bilious disorders corrected before the
dysentery or diarrhoea can be per-
manently cured. For this purpose
always use st. Patrick's Pills, and
after they have operated, take Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and a speedy cure is certain.

When that flag pole was planted
nearly all the business of GAINESVILLE
was done in the houses fronting the
square. What is now Franklin street
had nothing on it but few insignifi,
cant HOUSES, the court house, livery
stable and Dune Marr's slave pen.
The livery stable stood about where
Gerhart's dry goods store and Jno.
F. Couts' furniture store now stands,
while Marr's slave pen was
further up the street near where
the Farmers and Merchants Bank
now does business. AS these
two enterprises were the only ones of
the kind in the place they must have
done a good business. TO the citizen
who has been here and has noted the
gradual transformation from a river
town to a thriving manufacturing
city, surrounded almost by railroads,
1t is interesting TO look back and
wonder how it was all done. AT
least it interests younger man to
hear one of the old-timers tell it.

On the public square in this city,
just at the edge of the pave
ment, and almost Immediately in
front of the postoffice door
opening on the square, there is, what
seems to the casual observer, a square
block of wood imbedded in the
earth. 1t is about six inches square
and is worn level with the ground.
1t bears the look of age but is still
solid. If, however, a man were to
take pick and spade and try to dig
it up now, he would hardly get the
task done before the GLORIOUS
Fourth" has passed into history.
That block is nothing more than the
remnant of hickory pole erected in
1911 and was cut down when patri-
otto men had no further use for it..
1t was erected in the heat of the cam
paign and was in front of the
drug store Of Thomas Bros. The pole
was eighty feet high and carried a
flag on its top that would put any.
thing of the kind now in the city to
shame. There it stood and waved
from morning until night, week after
week and month after month, tower
ing high over any house in the city
reminding the people that the great
struggle between Polk and Clay was
on in earnest. There were Demo.
Gratis and Wings mixed up in that
fight and party strife ran high. The
McCune-McDowell political sensa-
ton of to-day is nothing compared
with it in point of interest.
Those were days that tried mems po-
litical metal. Father and son were
often arrayed against each other, but
when they sat down to the family
table politics was thrown to the
winds, and pleasant hours were spent
talking over the affairs of the day.

securely fastened in place with wire.
After this is done, they should receive
a coat of dark green paint. When this
is dry, the trellis should be strongly
fastened to Il sharp-pointed stick that
ca be driven into theground. Any wom-
an can easily make such a support for
her plants herself, and need not wait
anyone's convenience. Ten cents will
cover the cost of more than enough
wire and paint for a dozen trellises. A
pair of pincers for tightening the wire
can be borrowed from any tinshop,
particularly if they are used outside OF
regular working hours, The light weight
of such a trellis makes it particularly
nice to use for such pot-plants as re.
quire support-fuchsias, ivy geraniums,
etc.
The custom of turning all the pot
plants outdoors with the coming OF
summer is to be deplored, AS it often
deprives a room of its chief ornament.
A few plants ought always to be grown
for the special purpose of summer
decoration. Often the busy housewife
who cannot find time to cut and ar
range fresh flowers from the garden
could give to a few pot-plants all tn,
care necessary. Nothing will better
repay this care Shan q pot of dwarf
morning-glories, the vines trained owe
such Il trellis as has been described, /
kept in n shaded window, the flower
will keep open the greater part of tn,
day.-Margaret Ryder, in Country Gen

An Instance Illustrative of the Power of

In q west-end horse car the other day
sat a girl dressed as q wcll-dresscd girl
should be. If she owned diamonds she
had left them at home. She
wore good and simple clothes,
and had a quiet, self-contained
manner. Beside her sat another
girl, with diamond earrings, a much
feathered hat, and a general air Of
thinking nothing too good for her. The
two girls were talking-and it soon APP
peared that they had come from the
same school. Presently the conductor
came along.
The girl with the diamond earrings
gave him a nickel, and mentioned the
street where she wished to stop with an
air that was nothing short of arrogance.
Then the low voice of the well-dressed
girl said, gently: "Will you please stop
at Arlington street?" and the other,
who had said Berkeley street, ex-
claimed: After all, I'll get out when
you do" When they left the car the
well-dressed girl said a gentle "Thank
you" to the conductor who had remem-
bered her wish, and had taken care to
stop in precisely the right place.
swell, l must say" remarked the
other girl, as they walked along, 'you
couldn't have thanked that man any
more graciously if he had been the
handsomest fellow in Boston and had
just brought you a bunch Of orchids"
The well-dressed girl smiled-what 9

Don't you think" she answered
"that there is a certain kind of pleasure
in being courteous to those who dom
expect IL? The people who are used tt
pleasant speeches take them as a mat
ter Of course. I think those to whom
almost everybody is rather curt mus
like a change once in awhile"
The girl of the diamond earring,
looked at her companion a little Gu
!. riously for a moment.
"You are a crank" she said a
length, as If she had found in her owl
mind the word of the enigma. "Yo,
are a crank-that's what you ar
but I think you are a nice kind o
crank, after ALL"

With friendly slap the back that bore his army
overcoat.
He sent his parents letters they we're long In
making out;
He was faithful as a sentry, in the ngnt MS
heart was stout;
The day he saved the captains life that day ne
lost his own,
And spoke some manly, parting words and died
without a groan.
The captain closed his eyelids with q choking
in the throat
And sent him TO his mother in his army over
coat.
The meeting house was crowded full upou his
burial day,
And scores and scores passed down the aisle
10 see him as he lay.
The foolish maiden noticed on his hand a ring
Of bone,
The union shield cut on It, and wished &, =s-s
her own;
And after prayer and hymn and sFeec2 al
wartime anecdote
The earth received the soldier an "a ~
overcoat.
And now, when Decoration day oo-sro -,1 :

Above his head and deck his grave VIII 1cTsS

And here his worn old father and rs zo-1s..
bowed with years,
stand sadly by and listen 70 the ~eaa2,a--'s

And an ancient, foolish maiden sees before hs:

The vision OF a soldier In an army o~ye-c9at.
