 "I cannot praise Hoods Sarsaparilla enough for what it has done for my boy. Some four years ago. when six years old. George was attacked by hip disease in his right leg. We had to get him pair of crutches, with which he vas able to move about, but became badly deformed. We had to have his right leg lanced just above the knee. lea few weeks [ aeonilng pans csed m se coud got sea to be moved, his growth was stopped and
 He Was a Mere Skeleton.
 He had no appetite, and 1t was hard work to make him eat enough to keep him alive. A few weeks later we had his hip ianced, and follow ing this i've other eruptions broke out, making eight running sores in all We did all VIC could for him, but he grew weaker every day. d. though we had three of the best physicians. As last resort we were prevailed upon by relatives who had taken Hood's Sarsa- parilla with beneficial results to give the medi- cine a trial We got ono bottle about the first. of March, 1892, and he had taken the medicine only few days when his appetite began to. improve. When he had taken ono bottle he could move about little with his crutches, which he had not been able to use for the pre- ceding three months. We continued faithfully with Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in months he was

He has now taken Hoods SarsaparfIla regularly for eighteen months. and for the past six months has been without the crdtches, which he has outgrown by several Inches.

The Sun Calendar.

The Baltimore Sun furnishes it's
readers with a large calendar for
1895 divided into months which
can be readily cut apart and tableted
into a most convenient desk calen-
dar. There will be many much
more stylish and costly calendars
issued but none more convenient or
superior for practicable every day
use.
The Sun is one of the most prac-
teal, business-like papers issued in
the country. 1t holds to its old
plain style eschewing the multitude
of cuts and portraits that crowd
and help swell to the unwieldly size
which makes a large number Of the
daily papers a clumsy mass of
useless paper. The Sun is the
business mans paper par excel
lence. The most important news,
and all Of it, is selected from the
mountain of sensation literature
which choke the majority of the
dailies, and presented in a form
neither too condensed nor too
elaborate. Its type is little small.

Death of a Hermit.

A North East correspondent
furnishes the following to the
Democrat:
Frederick Fenton, who with his
brother, Walter Fenton, natives of
Liverpool, England, have for many
years past been living in a shanty
at "Giller's Hole" on the shore of
Fletcher Wilson's farm, near
Turkey Point, a sort of hermit life,
died on Wednesday last from a
paralytic stroke. He was about
55 years of age, well educated and
connected with a wealthy family of
same name in Liverpool, who sent
the brothers drafts for large
amounts. An air Of mystery sur
rounded their life and speculation
has long been rife as to the reasons
they had for spending their lives
in such a lowly manner. Walter
Fenton started for Liverpool some
two months ago to make some pro-
perty settlement, and is expected
soon to return.

Charity.

Always at this season of the year
there is a great deal said about
charity and the giving of aims to
the poor is the boundary of the
charity practiced and proclaimed,
which, while a temporary relief to
the distressed, is in truth no charity
at all. The charity that "never
faileth" is the charity ofopportunity
which should be the birth right of
all; opportunity to apply industry
to make a living. This is the
charity the children are crying for
without ceasing, the charity that
never faileth, while the mere giving
of aims is always a failure, falling
short of its object. When govern
ment dispenses justice impartially
to all it's citizens the sisters of
charity and aims giving of church
societies will have few calls for
either bread or sympathy.

The Drama.

A full house greeted the performers in
the comedy of Uncle JOSH" held uuder
the auspices of the Rising Sun Band last
Friday evening. The play was we'll re-
ceived, the verdict of the audience being
that the characters were all very we'll
rendered. The costumes, from MinerOa's
ringlets to Ubson'S neckties, were of the
most approved styles and added greatly to
the performance. A new and complete
set of scenery had been made and gave
the stage more realistic look than is its
wont.
The plot of the play showed the keen
ness of Uncle Josh, from the rural dis
tricts of Vermont, in ferreting out the
villianies of French adventurer, with
the accompanying side issues of the con-
fidence man, the dude and the spinster
maiden.
Following is the cast:

Coon Skin Financiering.

Davy Crocket's coon skin story
is being revived as a parallel to
Carlisle and Cleveland's financier-
ing. Crockett was on an electioneer-
ing tour without money, and had
scarcely commenced speaking till
one of the crowd said it was a very
dry subject without treat. Crockett
jumped down from the stump and
called the boys up to the liquor
booth. The yankee who was
running the liquor business pointed
over the door where he had chalked
in long letters; "Pay to Day and
Trust Tomorrow"
Crockett saw his election was lost
without he could manage to treat
the crowd, and shouldering his
rifle started for the woods. A short
hunt and he returned with a coon
skin. He threw the skin on the
counter and the saloon man put out
the liquor. Being busy the skin
was tossed carelessly to one side of
the cabin and Crockett returned to
the stump and continued his speech.
1t was but a short till the crowd
began to call for another drink.
Crockett again led the way to the
rough bar, and saw the coon skin
he had traded for the first treat
through the crevice between the
logs of the cabin, and snatching it
out placed it on the bar as he called
for another "set up" This same
trick the famous backwoods man
says he repeated several times.
This very nearly parallels Car
isles financiering. The Wall
Streeters are exchanging gold for
bonds and drawing it out Of the
treasury to buy more bonds. They
are making the same coon skin pay
for the numerous treats that Car
Isle keeps setting out. Crockett
AYERS that he didn't want to take
advantage of the man and called
the next day and paid him for his
liquor. That is more than Wall
street will do in the bond treats
which Carlisle is setting up. The
liquor booth man had one coon skin
at the final of the days transactions
but Carlisle will not have O dollar
in the treasury when he gets
through treating his Wall Street
friends to bonds.

a regular free-f rail knock down
and-drag-out shindy was the cul-

started Kilkenny cat circus. AS
a result, Drs. Jenness and Turner
were both called up to stitch and
plaster a number of physiognomies
No arrests were made as that would
be breach of license etiquette, and
the disturbed neighbo1s could only
lie awake and wish next May would
hurry along.
