s'Oid Sis" Rheumatic Kennedy Had Double
Back Action Results.
"Old ST." whom all the habitucs OF
Park row have known for years, hobbled
down to work the other night in n state
of physical pain. rheumatism, his old
foe, had settled in his feet, made walk
ing misery and life bore. While he
was putting on the largest and most
comfortable pair of shoes in the place q
customers attention was attracted by
his groans.
whats the matter, Si2" he inquired,
sympathetically
Rheumatism" growled ST, as he
crowded 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 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 eflicacious for
inHammatory 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"
ST 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
and wore them down to his business in
the evening. Trade was brisk, and 81
was kept movinga pretty lively in re-
sponse to many cafls at the counter and
raps on the tables
All night long he wore the shoes, as
he was determined to give the plasters
good chance to get in their work.
They got it. That night 81 was COM
PEELED to go to 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
n 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 a family consultation.
The outcome was that ST was recon-
mended to soak his feet in hot water
until the plastcrs relaxed their grip
Into tub of water 81 plunged his feet
and seated himself on chair. For
hours he waited for them to thaw, but
the plasters held on with death-like te-
nacity. 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 ST walked around much
after the manner of hen on hot
plate.

ters has not yet lost his scalp, but 81 In

1t requires clever man ordinarily
to tell the true from the false. Lapi-
darians say that only the most skilled
experts can tell really fine diamond
from one that may be "doctored."
The efficacy and value of medicines,
the truth or falsity of their curative
properties can only be found by ex-
perience and trial. All doctors admit
this axiom.
The universally acknowledged merit
of Mansfield's Magic Arnica Liniment
has tempted others to put forth va
rious preparations having arnica as
their basis, but it need barely be said
that they have little value as COM
pared with this standard and long
used specific against every form OF
pain. Its value, especially in the
treatment of horses and other animals.

state in the Union. The cost is trifling

another preparation known that is so
valuable to have around, or so likely
to prove useful in cases of emergency.
There is not known pain, from the
most ordinary cut or bruise to rheu-

AUSTYN'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

Have you ever quietly sat down to
consider Austin's responsibilities to
her citizens, to herself and to the
state? If not, review of them will
do you good.
Briefly, her possibility to Texas
is to make of herself city worthy of
the honor of being designated the
capital city of such a state. In this
short summary what world of work
and change is involved, can be de-
vined by considering what Austin is
and what she should be. This can
better be brought out in considering
her other two responsibilities, to her
self and to her citizens.
To her citizens she owes it, that ut
the least possible expense to them and
at the least inconvenience, together
with the greatest expedition, she
should furnish them city fully
equipped with all the convenience
of modern times-broad sidewalks
we'll paved streets, perfect bridges
complete system of sewerage, water
works and lights, public parks, in
number and appointments suited tC
such city as Texas expects of heI
capital, public buildings of comfort
and beauty, and finally thorough
system of street railway facilities. All
his work would demand world OF

Woman's primitive beauty and
vigor, which has been lost, can be
restored and retained by the action OF
certain constitutional agents. These
agents necessarily regulate, build up,
fortify and antagonize all existing
female irregularities and excesses, or
distractions which produce the ill
health. The remedy must unload the
locked up secretions, add iron to the
blood, strength to the system and
vitality to the nerves. Such remedy
is found in the use of English Female
Bitters, great triumph in the cure
of sickly females.

The judiciary amendment to the
constitution having carried before the
people, THE STATESMAN hastens,
though early it may be, to welcome
the judges of the supreme court to
their future permanent homes in Aus
tin. If betting with them were not
out of the question, it would be wa
gered that less than six months will
bring from them an expression of Won
der that so long had they submitted in
patience to being dragged over the
state to attend to the courts business.
Such verdict of the unwisdom of
wasting the time of the courts and
needlessly harrassing the judges in
tossing them to and fro over the state,
will have the effect, it is to be hoped,
of very soon locating all the other
higher courts permanently at Austin.

can give those shortsi9hted statesmen
who voted for the measure credit for
honesty, but not for sagacity. The
argument that the land of a country
should belong to the people of that
country sounds well, and | will admit
is sound doctrine, in fact mainly
sound; but while such an ideal condi-
ton Of things might be desirable it is
quite impracticable, and is inconsist-
ent with the progress and Develop
ment ofnew countries like Texas. The
nightmare of foreign landlordism
seems to have oppressed the alleged
brains of some of our sapient
legislators; their fevered dreams
haunted them in their waking mo-
ments, and they could find no rest for
their troubled spirits till they had
forged chain that would securely
bind and keep out of the country the
foreign vampire, who they protested
to believe was sucking the life blood
out of their beloved country. Be-

The Ordinance Creating n Relief Fund
Passes the Select Branch-Many Sources
From Which the Money Is to Be
Derived.
The police disability fund ordinance came
up in Select Council from the Public Safety
Committee.
Mr.. Keating-I am in favor of such an
ordinance, but since it goes into effect i'm
mediately it would be well to investigate
the city's finances. before acting on it.
Mr.. Lam bie-We will amend the bill so as to
make it imperative before February i, 1892.
Under this bill one-half of money derived
from dog licenses would become part OF the
fund To my surprise | learned that dog
licenses this year will yield not less than
=, COO and possibly 81 500. The fund gets s., 800
of that money, and it has not even been con-
sidered as income in the appropriation ordf-
nance of this year. 0nehalf of all peddlers,
pawnbrokers and show licenses go to the
fund. This sum would probably reach $500
One-half the costs legally payable to the city
from police cases, Criminal Court witness
fees, etc, also become n part of the fund
This sum cannot be estimated closely, but
ii Will only be n few hundred dollars. An
other source OF revenue to the proposed
fund would be one-fifth of all fines and pen
alties in the police courts. This sum iIrfun
last year was $4,000, but the year previous
it was but S35,O0O and this year will
not be likely to exceed S4oOO0. The last
source from which an addition Is provided
for the fund is the sale of worn utapparatuS
and horses of the police and fire bureaus.
This could not be moro than $500 or 5000 III
one year. Thus only about Sl2,009 would
come TO the fund in one year, and certainly
the city finances could stand that much
DIR. Evans-It would be better to take the
money from the general treasury.
Mr.. Lambie thought differently. Mr..
keating withdrew his objections and the
ordinance passed. 1t did not reach Com
