He Proved Quite Harmless, However.
Notwithstanding His Appearance.
He had on a cowboys hat-he had
long hair and fierce black eyes-there
was a claw from the foot Of grizzly
bear dangling from his watch chain.
You could size him up only IN one way
he had killed his man, or perhaps half
dozen Of them. If he hadn't fought
Indians and stood up to the bad, bad
men of the far west, then his looks be-
lied him. He was quiet, unostenta-
tious man, as all nervy men are. He
was reading dime novel, as all game
men do when they travel Now and
then he felt down the back of his neck
to see if his bowie knife was cuddling
up to his spine in proper manner, and
now and then he reached down to his
boot legs to see that his cargo of re-
volvers hadn't shifted.
Three or four of US, after taking plenty
of time to size him up, decided to ask
him how and where he got the wound
which had left the scar clear across his
left cheek. 1t looked like the work Of
Sitting Bulls tomahawk, but we wanted
the particulars. So it was agreed that |
should work him up to tell his story,

pIomacy had shaped matters SO dared

he modestly remarked.
'But you certainly had close call.
How many Indians were around you?
Indians? | didn't see no Indians"
ooh! Perhaps you were in a western
stage when it was held up, and you got
that scar in fighting off the road agents?"
''Never saw a road agent in my life"
he answered.
Tackled by bad man perhaps?"
Never saw a bad man."
'But you had a fight" persisted.
"No, didn't"
"Well, perhaps you'd be kind enough
to explain how you got that SCARF"

THE CAUSE FOUND.

The cause of chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken "Blood Purifiers "
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DIR. Shoop has taken step in advance
Of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain 1orUes have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and GW Internal organs. When
these neTUeS are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack of 1le1'Ue force.
EDwo Sho0gD's Restorative is q
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it acts
upon the nerves that control these organs.
Not a "Neryine," but nerve food. It
aids digestion, cures dyspepsia and bill
i0usnes by TemoUing tho cause.
Is it not reasonable ?
Z A trial will convince you.

E0W APUZZLE Was SOLVED,

When you want a certain article, You want
the best make OF that article. don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you. isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear of one puz.
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those Of America, were
In competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts two Of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as a further
recognition of superiority, decorated MIR.
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the com
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor of the No. 8 and No. 12 Wheeler e.
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No. 10,
for manufacturing uses, arc the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma
chine, if you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. Wheeler & Wilson machine. and if he
does not keep them. write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.
