A CASUAL'S OBJECTION.
He Objected to Working When He Could
Not See the Result.


'Why didn't you grind the corn the
labor master of Fulham road workhouse
gave you as your task?" said the magis-
trate at Westminster to William King,
a well-known casual who had often re-
fused to work for his nights lodging at the
Cos my visions limited" replied the
accused, gruffiy. Il can't see through a

'But you are not required to turn the
wheel with your .eyesight. You do that
with your hands,"
IF I can't see through a brick wall,
how can work through one? The ones
onprincipled as the other 'Ow can I work
when 1 can't see what I'm doing?"
The labor master explained that the
wheel was in one room while the mill
was in another, and the accused could not
see the corn in the process of grinding.
That's all true, your. honor" said
King, land [ say that the system is
wrong A man should be able to see his
task. Otherways, there's no principle in
it,

in the MILL continued the labor master,
land he could have easily finished before

very hard.''

Mr.. De Rutzen declined to go into the
metaphysical aspect of the case, or even
into Kings range Of vision, but merely
pointed out that in the present case it
was not a question of seeing, because the
accused steadfastly refused even to begin
to grind the corn. AS an aid to the in

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand i'm Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in. robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
Wheel a five horsepower engine is made
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
office will "bolt " his food i'll a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as key of nails would be i'll a
Are under boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake VIXEN the overworked man at
te1npts to find rest i'll bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach aud the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
joynent of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve bilious stomach or after too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify enrich and
vitalize the blood. The "Pellets" are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concern
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biiousness,
constipation anu SlotnfulneSS, or tOrpOr, OF
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken i'll teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. It has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cure
yourself with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country

WHAT HE DID.
Prof. Blanks -Mindedness Shocks

Prof. Blanks Mindedness Shocks
His Wife.
Prof. Blank, although a very dignified
and courtly gentleman, has fits of absent
mindedness amounting almost to mental
alteration. This failing has placed him
IN many embarrassing positions. 1t
seemed to the professor and his family
that the climax had been reached one
evening when the professor, after filling
his bath-tub for a bath, plunged in with
all OF his clothes on. But a deeper, be-
cause public, modification soon followed
this alarming mental lapse. The pro-
lessor sometimes speaks in public, and
few days after the bathroom episode he
was asked to be che Of three or four
speakers at a public meeting. His brief
address was received with great ap>
plause, which, to the professors surprise
and chagrin, was followed by broad grins
and even unrepressed tittering on the
part of many in the audience. No sooner
was the professor out of the house after
the meeting than he turned to his wife
and asked, MY dear. what was the oc-
casion of all that smiling and actual gig
Cling after the generous applause that
followed my address?'
Don't you knoW?' asked his wife, a
little sharply. Il never felt SO mortified
in my life. Why don't you keep your
wits about you when you are in public?
1t was DREADFUL

Absorbed,

A mothers love for her children is al
ways being illustrated, not only in books
but in real life, says the Youths Compan-
ion. A true story is told of lady whose
baby is very ill, and who sat watching the
child with absorbed attention, every in
slant fearing another CONFUSION and pray
ing for deliverance from it.
At her side stood an older child, who
had stolen into the room unobserved, and
who was trying to prick the little black
spots in mammals muslin sleeves with a
needle he had found. Presently the father
came in and the little child was seen and
sent away.
What is the matter with your arm 2"
whispered the gentleman to his wife, when
at last they turned to each other and
smiled their thankfulness that the baby
had fallen asleep.
Il don't know" said she; nothing that
| am aware Of"
She put up her hand and found that the
thin muslin sleeve was soaked with blood

his sport that he had 'jabbed'' with all
his might, and she in her terrible anxiety,

A Gross Act of Cruelty.

Why should we be cruel to ourselves? 1t
is piece of senseless inhumanity, for in
stance, for any one of us to infict upon his
bowels and stomach the convulsive gripping,
violent action of a drastic cathartic. Many
people enamored of pills, powders and po-
lions are continually doing this. They are
only keeping up the agony" perpetuating
the disturbance by this foolish course. Why
don't they take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
and get thoroughly and promptly set right?
This supreme laxative never gripes, never
produces violent effects of any sort. Yet 1t
is very effective and brings about perma-
nent results. For liver complaint, dyspep-
STA, nervousness, lack of vitality rheumatic
and kidney complaints, it is eminently serv-
iceable In old age and to accelerate con-
valescence it is strongly to be commended.

LIGHTNING IN A SNOWSTORM.
Freak of Nature Witnessed in Column
bus-Church Spire Struck.


A remarkable freak of nature occurred
yesterday afternoon about o'clock. 1t
had been raining quite hard and suddenly
turned colder. In few minutes the rain
turned to snow, and it was not long until
a binding snow storm ragged. During the
height of the storm several streaks of
lightning shot athwart the heavens, fol-
lowed by several peals of thunder. Judge
Duncan and several attorneys were stand
ing at the High street windows of his
courtroom watching the scurrying flakes
of snow, the jury in the Bauer case be-
ing out, when the lightning struck the
tall spire of the German Lutheran church
across the street. The cross at the apex
of the spire is mounted by lightning rod,
and the sparks of fire danced around the
point for several seconds.
What is more remarkable about the
freak is that within ten minutes the
clouds had disappeared and the setting
sun cast his refulgent rays over the snow
capped roofs with binding effect. It is
not very-often that such freak of nature
occurs in this latitude.-Ohio s&ate Jour

He Was Defeated.

In the Eighth Massachusetts congress
sional district at the last election, one of
the Populist candidates for a seat in
Congress was Linn Boyd Porter of Bos-
ton, once newspaper man, but who of
late years is known as Albert Ross, the
novelist. He received communication
from the New York Tribune about six
days before election asking him to file
one of two inclosed dispatches as soon as
possible after the result of the balloting
became known. One read: Il am
elected" The other read: 81 am de-
feated." Mr.. Porter signed the one sig
nifying defeat and telegraphed it on to
the Tribune six whole days before cleo
ton. His predictions were correct

REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.
Rusty Saber Found in the Cellar of a
McKeesport Hotel.

Clerk A. f. Riegner of Hotel White has
in his possession a very interesting relic.
Saturday, while worklSen were doing
some eXcavating and cleaning out the Gel,
which proved to be an old saber.
The sword was encased in a leather
sheath, but it had almost entirely rotted
away. The saber was mass of rust, but
had been pretty well cleaned up. No dates
or marks of any kind are visible on it, but
it has the appearance of being of very an,
cient make.
Persons who have seen the saber believe
it to be a relic of revolutionary times.
It resembles the swords used in those
times, and many think the implement of
war was the property of Gen. Braddock or
some officer in his command who was lo-
Gated in this section in the struggling days
of the country. Mr.. Riegner prizes the
relic very highly and will have it placed in
the best possible condition. -McKeesport

gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease

OBEY THE PEOPLE.

Counting the states as they have re- gently voted, or the principalities of those states, it is now clear that MT. Cleveland, if before the people, could not be elected president, and that if congress should appeal to the country as the British house of commons does, no Democratic majority could be chosen. This is as plain as the sun at noon in an unclounded sky. Why, then, not render obedience at once to the clearly expressed will of the people and defeat the Wilson tariff bill? This would lead to the resumption of business, and this would secure em- ployment for most of those who are in enforced idleness.
