ANEcDoTAL LITERATURE.
Gathered and Compiled by w. G.
EZEKIEL AND DANIEL.


The following anecdote of Mr..
Webster is an illustration OF the un-
certainty of worldly fame: Before
the Northern Railroad passed
through his farm, he was once on his
way to the old homestead. He took
the stage at Concord, N. H., and
had for companion very old man.
After some conversation, he learned
that the old man was from the neigh
boring town of Salisbury, and asked
him if he ever knew Capt. Webster.
"Surely / did," said the old man,
sand the Captain was brave man,
sir, and nobly did he fight for US,
with Gen. Stark at Bennington"
"Did he leave any children :" said
Mr.. Webster.
80, Yes; there was Ezekiel, and,
1 think, Daniel.
And what has become of them n
asked Mr.. Webster.
"Why, Ezekiel (and he was a pow,
erful man, slr) l have heard him
plead in court often yes, sir, he was
a powerful man, and fell dead while
pleading at Concord.
"Well," said Mr.. Webster, land
what became of Daniel 2"
"Daniel-Daniel," repeated the
old man, thoughtfully, "Why Daniel
1 believe, is lawyer about Boston
somewhere.

GENERAL FITZPATRICK.

General Fitzpatrick once was at a
country play, when the entertain
ment happened to be the "Stage
Coach" 1t was acted so wretched-
ly that it was impossible to make
head or tail Of it. AS soon as the
curtain closed and one Of the per-
formers came out to announce the
next play, the general begged leave
TO ask the name of the entertainment
just closed. aThe Stage Coach,
sir" said Ruskin, bowling very re-
spectfully. 10, then, sir" said the
general, "will you be 30 good to let
me know when you perform this
again, that might be an outside
passenger 2"

CHARLES II AND ROCHESTER.

King Charles II once said, over
his bottle, in his usual lively way,
that he supposed some stupid peas
ant would write a nonsensical cpl
taph on him after his death. "Now,"
says his majesty, 81 should like to
have something appropriate and wit
ty, Rochester, let's have touch of
your pen on the subject" Rochester
instantly obeyed the command, and
produced the following:
"Here lies our sovereign Lord the King,
Whose word no man relied on;
Who never said foolish thing,
And never did wise one."
For this keen effusion Rochester
remained some time in disgrace.

A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DErlANDED.

A general banking business is done bv
the human system, because the blood de-
posts IN its vaults whatever wealth we NAV
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against a rainy day" as reserve fund
we're in condition Of healthy prosperity
IT we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger i'll getting thin, because it's
sign OF letting down i'll health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in sehole-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
If our liver be inactive and Our blood i'm
pure, or if our flesh be reduced 6elov a
healthy standard. What is required is an
increase in our germ, fighting strength. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery euriches
the blood and makes it wholesome stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisous, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of It, is surely remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that 90
per cent of all cases of consumption can, if
taken in the early stages of the disease, be
CURED with the Discovery" it seems like
a bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is that
you make thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.
By sending to the Worlds Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, n. V. you can get
free book with the names, addresses and
photographs Of a large number of those
cured ofthroat bronchial and lung diseases,
as we'll as of skin and scrofuiouS affections

also publish a book of 100 pages being a
medical treatise on consumption, bronchitis,

Salt Makes Coal Burn Longer

or as it is put into the furnace, it will

and will also prevent clinkers. OF
