His Interference.
They might be called, for the pur-
pose Of distinguishing them, Fighter
No. !, Fighter NJ. 2 and the Peace
maker.
Fighter No, ! thought James G.
Blaine probably the greatest man who
/ ever lived.
| Fighter No, thought that Grover
Cleveland could give him four cards
10 royal flush, four draws to fill,
and stand pat" himself and beat him.
Fighter No. thought that Fighter
No. ? didn't know a statesman from
a hunk Of beef.
Fighter No. thought that Fighter
No. didn't know a statesman from
case of sickness.
The Peacemaker thought that both
lighters were getting excited.
Fighter No. ] thought it was none
Of the PeacemalSer's business.
Fighter No. 2 thought he could
take care of himself without any help
The Peacemaker thought they were
both making fools of themselves.
Fighter No. thought it was free
country.
Fighter No. 2 thought he didn't
need guardian.
The Peacemaker thought there
wasn't going to be any fight If he
could help 1t.
Fighter No. ] thought the Peace
maker ought to go off in some quiet
corner and kick himself.
The Peacemaker thought he ought
to kick Fighter No. !.
Fighter No. thought that if tffsfI
were to be done at all he had a first
claim to the job and he didn't want
it taken Off Of his hands.
The Peaccmaker thought Fighter
No. 2 ought to shut up.
Fighter No. hit the Peacemaket
on the nose.
Fighter No. struck the Peace+
maker in the eye.
Fighters Nos. l and both kicked
the Peacemaker.
And then they dropped politics and
went around the corner together,
while the Peacemaker limped home
and had his wife bandage his wounds.
And that's the usual result.

lie Threw Local Tettdr Through Mill
window In Tennessee.
The resignation Of Senator Reagan,
Of Texas, recalls story Of how he
CHANGED to remove to the State that
is now his home, and which has so
slgnally honored him. He was living
in Sewer County, Tennessee, In 1889,
AMI was sent BY his father to grfst
mill to have d sack of wheat convert
ed into -four. He was a big, raw
UJnedl Swapping country BOY.
According to custom, he hitched
his horse at the mill, took the sack OF
grain from the shoulders OF the ami
NAL, placed 1t on his own shoulders
and toted it up three fiights Of stairs,
and took his place in the line, as peos
pie are wont to do still at country
postofflces, waiting for his turn to
have his wheat ground. Half an
hour or SO after Reagan arrived at
the mill well-known local character
came, bringing a sack Of wheat TO be
ground also. This last character was
a local terror, fond of brawls and
fighting, and In the habit of having
his own way.
He had to take his plaCe in line
with the rest, but when 1t got to b
Reagans turn to have his grain
ground "the terror said;
"See here, Reagan, l am in a hurry
You let me get in your place and you
come back here where / am"
Reagan detiiurred, stating that he
was in hurry, too; that he was en-
titled to his place, and meant to
keep it. This angered the brawlef.
He cursed young Reagan, and said
he would fling him out through the
window, and, suiting the action to
the word. made rush for the future
statesman. Reagan, like all the rest
~ the people in the ncighborhood,
was more Or less terforized by the
desperate, and iii fear Of his life,
rushed for him, met the desperate
half way, butted him in the stomach
with his head. and literally lifted him
off his feet and threw him through
the window.
When the desperate disappeared
through the window the consequence
Of his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind. He instantly supposed that
he had killed a man, that he would
be hanged for 1t, and, scared almost
TO death, he rushed down stairs. un-
hitched his horses, and lit out across
the country for Texas. The man was
not killed, but got bad shaking up.
He soon moved to Texas, and was a
friend of Raagan in after life.

Dry sand for Fire Extinction.


1t il well-known that dry sand is
one of the best things that can be used
for killing an incipient oil fire., aud
some factories where oil is used have
been equipped with pals of this ma.
terial in various departments. 1t is
now suggested that many dwelling
house fires caused by lamp explosions
might be averted by keeping some OF
the ornamental vases in the rooms
filed with sand, so that it would be

A further investigation revealed the fact
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not a patent
medicine in the sense in which that term Ia
generally understood, but are a scientific
preparation successfully used in general
practice for many years before being offere.
to the public generally. They contain In G
condensed form all the elements necessary Il,
give new life and richness TO the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un-
failing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia. partial paralysis, st. Vitus dance
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effects OF la grippe
palpitation OF the heart, pale and Sallow
complications that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostration; all diseases
depending upon vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula chronic eryapelaS, etc.
They are also a specific for troubles peculiar
to females such as suppressions, Irregular
ties and all forms OF weakness. They build
up the blood and restore the glow OF health
TO pale or Sallow cheeks. In the case Of men
they effect radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, over-work or excuses o.
whatever nature.
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills arc manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Brocxville,
Ontario, and Morristown, \. y :, and are
sold in boxes never in loose form by the
dozen or hundredl at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for 81 so and may be had OF all drug
gists or direct by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Company. from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold makes
a course of tres tment comparatively mex
pensive as compared with other remedies or
me1icaI treatment,
