IT'S TIME TO GET WELL.

All Nature Takes New Start.-New
Courses Through the Veins-In Spring
Take Paine's Celery Compound, the
One Remedy That Cures.
Everything is up ward striving
lis easy now for the heart to be true
As for fields to be green or skies to be blue !;
lis the proper way OF living.
All animate nature feels the touch of
spring. Nature has her great cleaning
days. The birds get new plumage, the
FISK put on their fresh, glistening, scaly
armor, new streams of fresh water start
from the ground; there are new buds
and livelier sap, and In the human body
the heart throbs with fuller, stronger
beats.
1t is the season of great changes.
At no time during the year is the body
SO inclined to get rid of old, diseased
conditions, chronic sickness, and deep
seated disorders of the vital organs.
1t is for these reasons that Paine's
celery compound, the most famous nerve
regulator and blood purifier in the
world, has acquired the name of the
great spring medicine.
There is not 4 single village in the
country large enough to boast a regular
physician or drug store where Paine'S
celery compound is not being more
largely used this month than any other
remedy. 1t is known wherever progress
and enlightenment have pushed the rail-
road or the newspaper.
Paine's celery compound is the very
utmost the medical research of today
can do for the exhausted, badly nour-
ished nerves and thin, impure blood. 1t
goes straight to the causes of the mis-
chief in the many forms of disease result
ing from nervous debility and insufficient
or vitiated blood. A thousand painful
symptoms arise from these two prime
causes. Correct the nerves and blood
with Paine'S celery compound and the
entire system must get well; diseases of
particular parts disappear, and strength
and health by day and sound, invi gor-
ating sleep by night, return by unfailing
natural process. Paine's celery COM
pound drives out diseases of the liver,
heart and kidneys-by sending pure,
sufficient blood, loaded with reconstruc-
tive material, through these vital organs,
instead of a watery, impure fluid that
can neither nourish nor invigorate. Dys-
pepsia, neuralgia, rheumatism, heart
disease, general nervous debility, and
loss of strength cannot remain when the
nerves and blood receive their daily en-
forcement of rich, abundant nourish-
ment from Paine's celery compound.
Most diseases are signs OF poverty,
either of blood or nerves. Paine's celery
compound makes people well because it
leeds starved nerves and blood and reg
ulates their functions. Try it and be
convinced, as are thousands of men and
women and children everywhere.

HIS VIEWS ON PANTS.

A boy in the Wichita schools has
been suspended for reading the follow
ing essay on pants:
Pants are made for men, and not
men for pants Pants are like molas-
ses; they are thinner in hot weather
and thicker in cold The man in the
moon changes his pants during the
eclipse. Don't you go to the pantry
for pants, you might be mistaken.
Men are often mistaken in pants.
Such mistakes make breeches of
promise.
There has been much discussion
as to whether pants is singular or
plural. Seems to US when men wear
pants they are plural, and when they
don't wear pants it is singular.
Men go on tear in pants, and it
is all right: but when the pants go
on tear it is all wrong."-I Union
Printer.

A PUZZLE MAKER.

The Spectator met in BROOKLYN the

curious trade of making puzzles.

This was no doubt very grea texag-
gera ton, though probably that per-
picking and half Of the time impos-
sible puzzle did dethrone the reason
of person here and there. This is
not much of a tribute to the puzzle
makers skill, forla puzzle that is in

politics. The Tammany boss at the
same time became figure of world
wide prominence.
But, while Croker's attempt to
control and direct the course of ma
tional politics met its Waterloo in
the third nomination of President
Cleveland, his power at home re-
manned to the day of his abdication
unimpaired. He has not only ruled
New York city with absolute sway,
while holding no public office and no
commission of any sort from the
people, but he has grown rich out of
it. Within two years Richard
Croker, the man of large family and
small income, has moved into a
costly residence on Fifth avenue; he
has invested hundreds of thousands
of dollars IN a stock farm and very
extensive racing establishment, such
as only millionaires can afford and
as final and convincing display of
vulgar and suddenly acquired wealth
he has but recently enjoyed a pro-
longed tour through the South and
to the Pacific coast, with a party OF
friends, in a private car costing at
least $50 day. AT the end of his
eight years Of power Mr.. Croker has
become millionaire and now he re-
tires to enjoy his money, his Fifth
avenue home and his fast horses.
There's nothing like it. A street
tough and indicted murderer comes
to position Of absolute mastership
in our greatest city, where his sway
turns democracy into abject failure
and casts ridicule and contempt upon
universal suffrage as a foundation of
government. He fills his pockets in
some way or other and at a cOnven-
lent moment slips nimbly aside and
snaps his fingers at the great NUM-
cipality he has so long held in his
power. New York, and with her all
America, was never more Inundated
than now; never was popular gov
eminent more Knocked at and derided
in the face of all mankind than at
the moment when Croker ''retires.'
Is it not confounding that any man
having such a past and with no
loftier abilities or aspira tions, could,
after turning free city of America
into his personal satrapy, ''retire"
to the enjoyment of his gains with
immunity like this?
Will Croker have successor? Not
if there is civic virtue enough in the
city of New York to enable good
citizens, regardless of party passions,
to unite in a mighty effort at the
coming election to overthrow the
Tammany conspiracy, and set up a
permanent government founded on
integrity rather than on vice and
crime.-[Springfeld Republican.

4 BETTER OUTLOOK FOR VERMONT.

The Vermont farmer who has been
so constantly taught for generation
past that the state was good one
to ''emigrate FROM" has abundant
reason for cOmplacencv as he looks
about the country. He has dug
wealth out of the hills and valleys Of
the Green Mountain State that has
not only enabled him TO do what the
bank cashier says, but to stand enor-
nous losses from investments IN dis
tant parts of the country. One rea-
son for the mortgage paying is that
he has got cured of his eagerness for
these distant investments. He is
now willing to keep his surplus earn
ings at home instead of rushing hem
off into pasture-land building-lot
booms a thousand miles or more
away. And just as quick as be
changes his course the effect for good
is felt all around him. Vermont has
always had the soil, of quick-renew-
ing fertility, the climate, the water,
the natural advantages in every way,
for a superior agricultural state.
The census figures prove it, and
every mans observation confirms
them. The conditions are wholly
abnormal that have of late years
caused such agricultural decline
The bottom trouble, which has
brought so much of encouragement,
is that no matter how well a man
made his farm pay he had grown
poorer for it,
But the tide has turned. The les
son has been effectually learned.
And within the next 10 years Yer
mont and her opportunities are
going to be appreciated by her own
people Brattleboro RetOrmer.

A HEROIC YEAR.

1t was in the summer of this year
that General Grants misfortunes
eliminated in the discovery of the
cancer in his throat. His attention
was first called to his throat at
Long Branch in the summer of 1884.
He experienced trouble in eating
ing a dinner. He spoke to Mr..
Childs about it. He said the acid of
the peaches irritated his throat,
which seemed to be sensitive. Mr..
Childs asked him to let DR.. Da Costa
of Philadelphia look at his throat.
This eminent throat specialist dis
covered at once the cancerous nature
of the trouble. Ee did not himself,
however, break the news to General
Grant He advised him to go home
a once and consult his family ply
sician, Dr. Barker DIR. Barker was
privately notified, and when General
Grant came to see him he suggested
the calling in of DIR. Douglas, who
was at that time one of the most
noted throat specialists of New York.
DR.. Douglas told General Grant, at
ter making a careful examina ton,
that the trouble was a very serious
one, and although the nature of the
malady was disguised under tech
nical forms of speech. yet General
Grant discovered very quickly the
actual truth.
He said to his son, Colonel Grant,
who accompanied him during the
first visits to DR.. Douglass office for
trea tment: Il know very well what
- L al, t..
1t makes no difference what phrase
the doctor uses to describe the
trouble, l have found out that it is
really a cancer; that it cannot be
cured, that l cannot live over a year,
and that my remaining days will be
days of pain and suffering. If l
could have my choice, should pre-
fer to die now; but to obtain death
Immediately would simply mean
suicide. and that is always the act
of a weak and cowardly man."
In addition to a financial loss,
which involved himself and the
various members in his family in
amounts approaching nearly two
millions Of dollars, General Grant
had now to face a painful and pro-
tracted illness under disease of the
most terrible and revolving char
acter. With cancer the patient suf-
fers continuously, and has no period
of respite. The testimony of those
who were nearest to General Grant
all through that period OF pain is
uniform as to his high courage, his
perfect serenity, and the patience
with which he bore this accumula
ton of afflictions.-[T. c. Crawford

THE RETIREMENT OF CROKER.

Mr.. Croker has really retired. His
preliminary announcement that he
would no longer bear the burden of
his office, even should he retain the
nominal leadership of Tammany hall,
was quickly followed by the an
nouncement of his complete abdica-
ton. Such step voluntarily taken
has sensational features for which
there is no parallel in human affairs
save the voluntary withdra wal of an
oriental despot from his throne.
Even in Tammany hall there are no
precedents for such action. Tweed
"let go" because the prison yawned
in his pathway; Kelly yielded only
to death, but Croker lays aside the
scepter, of his own sweet will, and
retires to pass the balance of his life
amid the pleasures which the mil
lionaires lot affords.
No parallel to this mans career
can be found in the history of mod
ern times. In 1860 Dick" Croker
was the leader of a gang of street
roughs in the Dist ward, position
he held by virtue of his supremacy
as a rough and tumble fighter. In
1866 he won d prize fight, and in
1867, because of his demonstrated
qualities for civic leadership. he was
elected alderman from the 18th AS
semblv district. In 1874 Richard
Croker was indicted and tried for
murder, but that proved to be no
bar TO his advance to power and
glory. For the next ten years he
was one of John Kelly's faithful
henchmen, serving at various times
as coroner, fire commissioner and
alderman and remaining a poor
man. 1t was because Croker was
poor that Sheriff Grant IN 1884 gave
his daughter $4,000. The family,
at any rate, lived IN humble fashion
and gave no indication OF possessing
even moderate wealth.
Mr.. Croker succeeded John Kelley
as leader of Tammany hall in 1886,
so that his power has covered but
eight years. During that time he
has held no public Office, save that
of city chamberlain for few months,
and he has had no regular business
known to the public. Indeed, Crok-
er has never pretended to have a
drove an engine on the Harlem River
railroad some 80 years ago, and
worked in the company's machine
shop. AS leader OF Tammany hall
he has had a room at the Fourteenth
street wigwam, and there he has
spent many hours a day attending
to politics and the government of
the city of New York. In 1890 his
health broke down and he went to
Europe to be mended, returning to
take a tighter grip upon Tammany
and the greatest and richest muncl-
palitv in the new world. Under his
leadership Tammany has obtained
complete and undisputed control of
the city government. with its enor-
nous patronage and money-making
privileges, with results OF far-reach-
ing character. The Tammany or
ganization thereby forced the state
democracy to recognize it as the
only regular democratic organiza-
ton in New York city. and thus
Tammany became an influential fac
tor not only in state but IN national
