could scarcely imagine. It fairly teens
with practical information. Beginning
with the color-plates. we find an ex-

which is accompanied by another plate
showing the progressive stages of paint

Art Amateur. and sho wing, as it does,

paint without a teacher. The third
color-plate is "Sunset in the Inlet" a
delightful painting by Karl Weber.

My digestion was so impaired that could scarcely eat anything at times. Had con stipation in it's worst form and was SO ner- vously affected could hardly stand alone. I was right out of one bilious attack into an other. I tried home physicians, patent medicines and was then treated by one of the most eminent physicians in the state, but grew worse all the time. When l mo- ticed your advertisement told my husband was inclined to try the Electropoise, and that unless I obtained relief from some source could not possibly live through the summer.
 After using it for six months my weight was more than it had been in ten years, and I have been improving ever since. Have had but ons slight spell since com mencing it's use. It is instant relief for headache and gives me such refreshing sleep that 1t is worth the price for that alone. I have been greatly benefited and cure is made. gladly recommend it to all the afflicted meet: Several people have tried my Electropoise for few applications and were convinced of it's. merit.

Nourse asked TO see the pile Of letters,
and while he was looking them over n
man with nothing to designate his ranl,
came into the office in company with
another. He took in the situation at
n glance and said; lets clean this
thing out" Whereupon they jumped
over the counter and bundled the post
master out, neck and heels. Then they
began the examination of the Office md
found 1t congested with mail for the
army.
They searched every nook and GRANNY
and threw the letters for one regiment
into one corner those for another into
another, with all the newspapers in the
center OF the floor. T'1 they went
through each pile and separated 1t into
companies, and before night every let
ter was in camp and distributed, and
the next day the papers were out,
Nourse Ot the time did not know who
his companion in the good deed was
He asked him his name and his answer
was; "They call me Charley" Some
