Frustrated by sunstroke during the war

Mr.. E. is prominent officer of Post Lyon,

Albany County. In the interview with

II was wounded and sent to the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me, together
with others, to Washington-a ride of
about 100 miles. Having no room in the
box cars we were placed face up on the
bottom of fat cars. The sun beat down
upon our unprotected heads. When l
reached Washington | was insensible and
was unconscious for ten days while in the
hospital. An abScess gathered in my ear
and broke; it has been gathering and
breaking ever since The result of this
100 mile ride and sunstroke was heart
disease, nervous prostration, insomnia
and rheumatism; completely shattered
system which gave me no rest night or
day. AS last resort / took some Pink
Pills and they helped me to a wonderful
degree. My rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone and the abscess in my ear
aas stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as a bell, when before it felt as
though it would burst and my once shat
tered nervous system is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers Mr.. Edwards said,

idly and freely and strobe about the room

Comes Andrew Jackson IN his turn.
Martin Van Buren, next we learn:
Then William Henry Harrison,
Whom soon John Tyler followed on.
And after Tyler, James x. Polk;
Then Zachary Taylor ruled the folk
Till death. Then Willard Fillmore came;
And Franklin Pierce we next must name.
And James Buchanan then appears,
Then Abraham Lincoln through those years
Of war. And, when his life was lost,
Twas Andrew Johnson filled his post.

And James A. Garfield each Fad place,
And Chester Arthur-and my rhyme
Ends now in Grover Cleveland's time.

Good Luck in Matrimony Follows the Girl
Who Makes Them.
At all times carriers have been consid-
cred very important details of woman's
dress, and always associated in some
manner with matrimony. Down through
half dozen centuries comes to us the
custom practised today of having the
carriers as finishing touch to a brides
toilet The particular girl friend who
is permitted to slip them into place is
conceded to stand the best possible
chance Of wedding happily before twelve
months are out.
A prospect Of near and blissful mat
rimony is also shared by the friend who
secures the privilege of making a brides
carriers, the proper pattern for which is

Marie Antoinette were pretty pink silk
bands deliberately embroidered on the
upper half in tiny jewels and gold thread.
In an American family are preserved the
bridal carriers of titled English ances-
tress. These are of white silk, nearly
two inches broad, and decorated with
round buttons made of seed pearls, from
which suspend pearl cords and tassels
