KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF RQXBuRY, MASS,

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humof, from the worst Scrofula
down to i common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except n two cases
Goth thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
Of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and 4 perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in a week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best YOU can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Read the Label. Send for Book.

nished shield was high aloft, flooding
the broad valley with its radiant sheen,
throwing black shadows upon the broad
roadway, the white picket fence, the

den, returning from late visit to some
of his patients at the hospital, stopped
and looked quickly and intently up at
the little gallery overhanging the east
ward wall
In the front room, that which he had
assigned to Ellis, light burned dim1y.
The Venetian window of the rear room
leading to the gallery was dark, yet
open, and on the little ledge, leaning
against the easement, the moonlight
cleaning ON his face and form, a tall
soldier was gazing intently eastward.
Quietly Holden strobe along, entered
the gate, went noiselessly into the hall
and up the stairs. The door from Nita's
room to the landing stood wide open.
AT this juncture a person standing out
side would have seen the silent occupant
of Robbers Roost' turn with suddeL
start and peer into the room, for Holden,
his eyes fixed upon the cleaning, glis-
tening space between the two rear win
dows and just over the toilet table, had
purposely dropped his heavy stick with
resounding clatter upon the landing
floor. 81 thought so," he muttered in
serene satisfaction. Then picking up
his stick he calmly strolled across the
threshold and into the dark room.

Avoiding Military Duty In Franco

Public opinion has been called in
France to scandals in connection with
army recruiting which show how diff
fcult it is to carry out scheme of uni
versal compulsory service. AS a matter
of fact, il is well known that in order
to prevent the burden of the system fall
ing with undue weight upon certain in
dividuals numerous exemptions have TO
be made. The only son of n widow, for
instance, who helps TO support his moth
er, is let off scot free, while the eldest
son of a man upward Of 20 years of age
is only made to serve for one year if It
can be proved that the father is depend
ent upon him in any way. A declare
ton of the facts has 10 be made on oath
by three witnesses before the exemption
is made.
A case of fraud which has just come 20
light has shown that there are person
who are ready for small consideration
to swear to anything that is required in
this way. In the country districts the
fraud must be attended with great risk,
but it is the opinion Of one Of the Paris
magistrates, who has had much expe-
rience in the matter, that in the great
cities it is practically impossible TO de-
tect it.-London News.

'SNot as well as woman, Dick. Still
he can change. And suppose a certain
fellow were to change his mind now and

The idea of his going back on Winnie!
Why if l thought such a thing possible
I'd have him here on his knees at her
feet inside of week."
"Oh, no, you wouldn't, Dick" said
she, laughing softly.
"Wouldn't? Why notT'
"Just because two women wouldn't

"YOu still think she cares for him?'

And over at Holden's things were
going on in an odd groove. 1t was Ken
yon who was a frequent visitor there
now, not Rolfe. Mrs Holden was still
in st. Louis wiah her olive branches,

just so long as he had all these wounded

her head.
''You promised u.s." said Mrs. Holden
reproachfully; ''s.nd Rolfe won't be there

"He's going to take long leave and go
abroad"
"But even that" wrote Jennie to her

The great Mississippi steamers which
used to run as far as New Orleans and
the accommodation on board, which was
simply magnificent, had ceased TO ply
when the war broke out, but on numer-
ous occasions was able to avail myself
of the elegant comforts to be found on

BILE in quality; still it must be admitted
that there were many stock jokes cur
rent as TO the meagerness Of the pro-
visions supplied by the steamship com
pany TO their guests, and among these
was a story about Barnum, who, de
manding once a beefsteak at supper, had
banded over his shoulder by the negro
waiter a piece of rather thin and GER
tainly overgrilled flesh, which he de-
.scribed as resembling in form and color
an Ethiop's ear. That's what l mean"

What German Boys Drink

German boys who work in the open ali
all day long every day in the year except
school days get very thirsty, Of course
and must drink great deal. The Ger.
man mothers, TO keep their boys well and
hardy, are very expert in making nour.
ishing drinks for them. Honeyade is the
favorite outdoor drink for German boys.
1t is made in this way: An ounce OF
ginger is boiled for an hour in quarts
of water. Then quarts of cold water,
q pound of sugar, an ounce Of lime juice
and ounces Of clear sweet honey are
added. When all is cold, the white of an
egg is whipped in and lemon is squeezed
over the honeyade jar. The sturdy lit
tie Germans are allowed to drink their
weight, as the saying is, Of this.-Se-
