German
Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. I am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since. -

Stick to i'll
Sometimes you may have to wait.
The troubles that have been years
in gathering can't always be cleared
away in a day. For all the diseases
and disorders peculiar to woman
hood, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the surest and speediest
remedy. You can depend upon that
but if your case is obstinate, give
1T reasonable time.
It's an invigorating, restorative
tonlr, a soothing and strengthen
ing nervine, and a positive specific
for female weaknesses and ailments.
All functional disturbances, painful
irregularities and arrangements are
corrected and cured by it. All unnat-
ural discharges, bearing-down sensa-
tions, weak back, accompanied with
faint spells and kindred symptoms,
are corrected. In every case for
which it's recommended, "Favorite
Prescription" is guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or the money is re-
funded. No other medicine for
women is sold on such terms. That
proves that nothing else offered by
the dealer can be "just as good"

Astonishing sagacity of a Dog.

A woman residing in the neighbor-
hood of Melrose, Scotland, wife of an
Industrious and respectable laborer,
had for a considerable time been sub
ject to epileptic attacks, which came on
generally in the course of the day.
She had no servant, and her children
were too young to render her any as
sistance during the paroxysms. The
want of an attendant was, however, in
some measure supplied, in the absence of
her hus band, by a faithful and sagacious
collie dog, which no sooner perceived it's
mistress endeavoring with difficulty to
reach her bed, than he ran bowling for
her husband, and continued barking
and bowling until he found him, when
he returned with him to the house, the
faithful dog leading the way, and ap-
pearing delighted to see his master
coming to his wife's assistance. Upon
no occasion wa S this dog known to neg
lect his duty when his mistress was
taken ill, and at whatever distance
from home his master may have hap
pened to be at work, he did not cease
running with all his speed, bowling all
the time in the most piteous manner
until he was able to find HMM. Y.

TIME FOR A SHOWING.
Significant Silence of the Secretary OF tn q
Treasury.

Significant Silence of the Secretary OF the
Treasury.
Now that Secretary Foster has got
through campaigning in Ohio, and has
no longer any motive for concealing the
facts about the condition of the treas
ury. we think he ought to let the pub
lie know how serious that condition is.
The record of treasury receipts and
expenditures for October completes
four months of the current fiscal year,
and shows the same alarming falling
off in income that has been noticea BILE
ever since the Mckinley tariff took
full effect. For the last four months
the receipts from customs have been
but S5s 734, 456. or S32, 504, 262 less than
for the same period last year. This is
at the rate of a reduction in revenue of
S97, 512, ,7s6 year in customs alone.
While the returns on the score of in
ternal revenue show slight increase
for the first third of the year, there is
falling off in other items which
brings the total receipts of the
treasury for the period down to
S119. 1865 as compared with
the corresponding S154, $50, ,ss4 in
1890 Here, then, is a total diminution
of revenue going on at the rate of $685.
551. .6s7 yearly. Now, it is perfectly
futile for Mr.. Foster to keep on
saying, in the face of this showing,
that the treasury is in an ''easy" con-
dition. 1t is in the highly uneasy con-
ditlon of a man with more debts than
money. The appropriations call for an
outlay of slo6, 600. 900 during the time
when the revenue has been but sl10,-

Beaten Leaders.
The benevolent work of providing

republican candidates for Office in the
recent election is now being taken up
with noble zeal by the politicians OF
that party Time-honored precedent
has made the rule that he who leads a
repu blican column to defeat shall have
his hurts plastered with an appoint
ment to federal Office. Occasional
violations of this unwritten law have
only the effect of making it more in
flexible in the end. for the unrewarded
ones, as in the case of Warner Miller,
are prone to seek revenge upon the
later candidates of their party. and to
secure it in fashion well fitted to in
spire the party rulers with firm de-
termination to err in that respect no

Of promise of place has come to the late
Mr.. Fassett, but rather the knowing
ones speculate upon the identity of the
fat place that shall be his. Much
probability attaches to the rumor that
a senatorship will be opened for him
by the appointment of Frank Hiscock
to the vacant post of secretary of war
"a situation peculiarly fitted to the
talents of that senatorial Adonis, since
for twenty-five years its duties. with
inconsiderable exceptions, have been
discharged by the chief clerk. If it be
urged that Fassett can but poorly rep
resent the Empire state in the senate
the response is obvious. 1t is not New

but rather Tom Platt's interests and

secretary call that ''easy?" 1t is GER

by friendly bankers to ''hold up" ap-

been doing, as the figures show on their
face. He has been putting off the evil

have to tell the truth in his report to

"WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT"
A Legend That Has Received Strange
Verification.

"A
verification.
''When the tide goes out he will die -
With the assurance born of long ex-
perience beside deathbeds, the nurse in
somber gray whispered these words to
sufferers friends one night in a tene-
ment-house in Seventeenth street.
The man had been working on the
dock and a crane had fallen and struck
him on the head. They bore him away
to his squalid home. The company had
sent doctor and a nurse, but these
were now of small avail.

Yes, it is only a legend; but wait an1

There was the faint ticking of the
clock, but that was all that broke the
silence of the next few hours.
The night ebbed slowly away.
Dawn was almost breaking.
1.-THE tide-it is very near the full
aow," whispered the patient watcher.
.'Come closer if you want to see him
die"
And the little group in the room moved
closer. And so, too, he died, died when
the tide went out at break of day; and
out on the bosom of the tide had swept
away, toward great, unlighted sea, a
human soul.
1T is only a legend, know" said the
nurse afterward, ''but have been be.

being buried in mud. He was taken to

only his face was visible. He was kept
in this position for two hours, when an
other hole was dug and the boy again
buried. When the transfer was made it
was seen that the swelling had almost
entirely disappeared from the arm, and
