He's taking DIR. Pierce's Golden

Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its

It's the only guaranteed one. If
it doesn't benefit or cure, you get

"Discovery" strengthens Weak

Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,

something else, said to be "just as

that the cost of renting places III the

nydropnobia from a SNOWFALL.

A strange case has come to light neal
Cairo, Pa. Howard Davis, aged eight
years, has for some time past exhibitor
signs of hydrophobia. He has been in
bed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Smith, who had taken him from the
Fairmont home, and was barking and
swapping like a dog. AT times it was al
those present could do to keep the boy
in bed. The boy had been bitten in the
hand by a dog in 1885, while he was in
the family of Ezra Moore.
The present trouble is not thought to
be ~hydrophobis by the attending physi.
clan. He says it undoubtedly resulted
from a SNOWFALL, which hit the boy q
hard blow above the heart. The marks
of the blow were visible. The little fel
low is resting easy at present.-Cairc

sengers were OF their way home TO spend
Christmas. Edwin c. Wilcox, n popular
young lawyer Of New York, was en- route
to pass the holidays with his flancee, Miss
Alice Eaton, OF Dunkirk. He stepped into
the Gibraltar only to speak with Miss
Libbie Var Arsdale, of New York, then
going with her cousin, Miss Mabel Slocum,
to spend the holidays at the latter's home
at Lockport. The shock came and the
three were instantly crushed out of life.
This was but one OF many sudden part
ings. While Herrick smoked his cigar
tidings of the dreadful catastrophe arrived
at Hastings. Hastily changing his uniform
for plain clothing he fed into the mist and
the darkness, pursued no doubt by haunt
ing horrors and thoughts of the dead. One
railroader thinks, however, that he saw
him gazing on the wreck just before he dis
appeared. Experts seem to agree that the
absolute block'' system would have pre-
vented the collision, but the road is as yet
hut partially fitted with that system.

No one likes to suffer personal assault
without getting revenge and courts ars
often mighty onsartin." Hence many
people a k the law into their own hands,
and affrays and homicides result, particu.
larly in countries where dueling is frowned
on. That 'the code" is still honored abroad
is shown by the fact that recently a French
colonel sent word to an officer in his regi-
ment, whose ears had been boxed by a
brother officer, that within the next forty
eight hours he must accept the latter's
challenge or resign. He resigned, out the
case is exciting great interest as evidences
that dueling has by no means died out In
the French army.
