Shs Zebra Wants Liberty.

The zebra is naturally ferocious
animal and can never be tanned unless
the process is commenced when the
animal is very young. l spent num-
Der of years of my life in South Africa
and HAD several opportunities of watch
ing the zebra in it's wild state One
day one of these animals joined drove
OF my horses which had turned out
to Craze. AT night when the horses
were driven into the inclosure where
they were kept, the zebra followed,
seeming to be PERFECTLY content with
his new companions. l then deter
mined to keep him and see If / could
not domesticate him. He was accord
ingly lassoed and tied to tree, but so
furious did he become at the sight of
any one that the greatest caution had
TO be used in approaching him. Herbs
were brought to him from the places
where he was won't to Craze, but he
steadily refused to eat. Every con-
ceivable article of diet which was
thought might tempt his appetite was
set before him, but in vain He drank
water by the bucSetful, and his thirst
never seemed to be quenched. After
three weeks, during which time he
subsisted entirely on water, the beast
| died.-St. Louis Republic. "

From away up in British North America
comes the following greeting to DIR. R V.
Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the
nTsds Ra Hotel and r Surgical shnTrsrs Institute at
Hartney, Selkirk Co., Manitoba, whose
portrait, with that Of her little boy,
heads this article, writes as follows:
/ take great pleasure in recommending DIR.
Pierces Favorite Prescription for falling of

down pains and pains in my back whenever
I would be on my feet any length of time. l
was recommended to try DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which did with happy results
! feel like a new person after taking three
bottles of it."
AS we have just heard from the frigid
North, we will now introduce letter
received from the Sunny South. The follow
ing is from Mrs. J. T. Smith, of Oalfuskee,
Cleburne Co., Ala. She writes "I was
afflicted and suffered untold pains and
years. I was confined to bed most Of the
time. / expected the cold hand of death
every day. l was afflicted with leucorrhea-
with excessive lowing-falling of the womb
bearing down sensation-pain in the small
of my back-my bowels costive-smarting,
itching and burning in the vagina, also pal
pitation of the heart. When l began taking
your medicine could not sit up, only few
minutes at time, / was so weak. | took
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription three
times per day, I alsotook his Golden Medical
Discovery three times per day and one Of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets every night. l
have taken seven bottles of the Discovery,
seven bottles of the Prescription and five
bottles of the Pellets took these medi-
cines seven months, regularly, never missed

well as ever did in my life. Four of the
best doctors in the land treated my case four
years. They all gave me up as hopeless
they said could not be cured, and could not
live. Through the will of God, and your
medicines, have been restored to the best
of health" Yours truly,

THE SOLDIERS OF THE SUN.

Along the margin OF the world
They march with their bright banners
furled,
Until, in line OF battle drawn,
They reach the boundaries OF dawn
They cross the seas and rivers deep,
They climb the mountains high and stoep,
And hurry on until in sight
or their black onemy-the night
Then madly rush into the fray
These armies OF the night and day.
Swiftly the shining arrows go,
While bugling winds their warnings blow.
Strive us he will, the night is pressed
Farther and farther down the west
With golden spear and cleaning lance
Tho cohorts OF tho day advance.
Thus, daily, is the battle won
BY the bravo soldiers OF the sun.
