Preventing Future Misery.

If there is, in this vale of tears, mora pro-
life source of misery than the rheumatic

born with tendency to rheumatism. just as
they with one to consumption or to scrof-
ula. Slight causes may develop this. As soon
as the agonizing complaint manifests itself. re-
course should be had to Hostetters Stomach
Bitters. which checks its further inroads and
banishes the rheumatic poison from the sys-
TEN. This statement tallies exactly with the
testimony of physicians who have employed
this fine blood depurent in their private prac-
tice. There is also the amplest professional
and general testimony as TO the efficacy OF the

ton indigestion. kidney trouble nervousness,
and loss of appetite and flesh. After wet
ting. whether followed by cold or not, the

Labor Representatives Will Ask Him to
Drop the Homestead Prosecutions.
Andrew Carnegie will soon visit the
Homestead, Duquesne. and Braddock steel
plants. 1t is reported that upon Mr.. Car
negie's arrival he will be called upon by
representatives OF workingmen In Pitts
burg. who will request that the firm OF
which he is the head let up further
prosecutions OF the late employees of the
Homestead steel works charged with riot,
conspiracy. and similar offenses. In other
words, that the Indictments against these
persons be pigeonholed. Their argument
IS that there is nothing to be gained either
by the commonwe alth or the Carnegie Com
pany in pushing these cases. The works
are now in operation and there IS not much
likelihood Of the same state of affairs ever
again prevailing there, as the lesson taught
has been lasting one to those employees
who took part in the strike What effect
this may have remains to be seen. There
are some who believe that Mr.. Carnegie
will refuse to interfere in any way, while
others think he will make 1t an opportunity
for displaying his phllanthropic spirit.

II was surprising to see how quickly
MILDLY made himself at home. He acted
as if he had always been at sea. He was
never seasick, no matter how Rough it
was or how uncomfortable any nf the
rest of us We're. He roamed wherever
he wanted to, all over the boat. At meal
times he came to the table with the
rest, sat up on valise and Tapped his
milk and took what bits Of food were
given him, as if he had eaten that way
all his life. When the sails were
hoisted it was his especial joke TO jump
upon the main-gaff and be hoisted with
it; and once he stayed on his perch till
the sail was at the masthead. One Of
us had TO go aloft and bring him down.
When we had come TO anchor ard every
thing was snug for the night, he would
come on deck and scamper out on the
mainboom, and race from there TO the
bowsprit end as fast as he could gallop,
then climb, monkey-fashon, halfway
up the masts, and drop Lack to the deck
or dive down into the cabin and run riot
among the berths.
