bottom to rock, which was easily done by
weighing the caisson and then pumping
out the sand and gravel, previously loosen

Of sand and four parts of stone broken to

He had married the girl of his heart.

as happy as a clam at high water. but
he wasn't Somehow he had got in with
the old fast set and took to spending his
evenings away from home, running
around town with the boys.
His wife demonstrated, made herself
charming and agreeable, but failed to
keep him at home in the society of her
self and their friends Things were 60

herself.
One night he was particularly request

failed to comply, and it was midnight
when he hurried up TO his steps, opened
the door with his latchkey and found
his home a blaze of light and filed with
a large company. He was met by his
best man of year before, who, in full
evening dress, hurried him up stairs.
Jump into your dress suit, Bob. The

"Oh, it's a custom Of his to visit
each couple he marries ON the anniver-

asking a lot of questions, to read the

thinks it's a good idea, and so do we

"Where's Nellie?"
Down stairs in her wedding dress,
looking sweet as a peach, waiting for
you.
When Bob entered the parlor, he look

Herald, South Bend, wash.l
1t falls to our lot this week to tell our
readers, and especially those who are not
blessed with perfect health, of one of the
greatest and simplest remedies of the
century. Personally we enjoy the very
best of health year in and year out, but
among our friends is j. l.. Myers, pro-
prietor OF the Broadway Pharmacy, a
man who knows his business thorough
ly, is entirely welded to chemistry and
hygiene and often talks shop" One
evening the conversation turned on new
discoveries in drugs.
He told us that one of our mutual
friends, John Wyandt, locomotive en-
gineer, owed his health to a new medi-
cine known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and that Mrs. Lawler. the wife OF Patrick
Lawler, cooper at the Tannin Extract
Works, and well-known in this city, has
been raised by them from what her
friends thought was her death bed.
Having had our attention called to the
matter so particularly we have since
found that everybody has a good word
Tor Pink Pills, and especially were we
interested in the case of Mrs. Lawler,
Finally we called at her home and asked
her TO tell us if Pink Pills had really
done as much for her as had been told
She said they had, and she would re.
peat the facts to me.
Mrs. Lawler said 1.-TWO years and &
half ago l was taken sick. l then lived
IN Tacoma, and for five weeks was no
able to turn myself in bed. My nus

that they should be taken immediately
after eating, so | ate lightly, then tool
the pills and in two days was able TO 81
up. In two weeks l was up and around
and was able to make the trip OF IL
miles by cars to South Bend, where m.
husband had gone to work.
''Since that time / have been well an

them up, cure headaches, dizziness an
the ills which so often beset them"
Mr.. Lawler also stated that he ha
often taken Pink Pills. That he used I
be troubled with sick headache and di'
illness IN the morning, but that Pm
Pills bad cured him.

THE TIME FOR REST OR RECRE,
ALTON.
y. NJ. IHSON,
Secretary M. @. f. A.

The condition of the shoe and leather
trade in the last week of the first
month of summer seems to us very
satisfactory. The quiet which has
supervened since the excitement com.
pleted it's run is an omen of good for,
tune to all branches of the business.
The rise in prices has been large, but
not so large that it can be regarded as
unwholesome. It was a reaction from
an exceedingly low scale of values.
That the present rates are likely to be
maintained for a considerable time Is
an assumption justified by the reduc-
ton of supplies, of which the evidence
is 80 u~nmistakable that there is no dis
mite about it's ~clearness in any quar-
ter, Producers, distributors and con-
SINNERS accept it as an established fact.
The enhanced prices have had the
effect of stimulating trade considerably,
and the business that has been done
since the rise has been very large. IL
s11bsided somewhatof late, but 1t Is
still far from languid, and it is the best
possible feature of the situation that
BUYERS are no longer impatient to make
purchasers, and that sellers display
something akin to Indifference in re-
spect of the disposition of their stocks.
They evidently feel no uneasiness
about holding them, nor is there any
reason why they should, because they
need have no apprehension that there
will be accumulations to produce a
weakening effect on the market. Shoe

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

At the regular session of Vance
County Alliance held with Sandy
Greek Alliance at Fuller's school house
on October 10th, 1895, a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose, offered the
following, which was unanimously
adopted, viz.
WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father in his
inscrutable wisdom, did remove from
our midst on September 21st our be-
loved brother Joseph T. Jenkins, of
Five Points Alliance, we do with pro
found sorrow ~reverently bow to
Heavens decree. and earnestly call
upon our fellow members to emulate
the virtues of our departed friend.
In the death of brother Jenkins, re-
Gently appointed County Examiner of
teachers, the cause of education has
sustained a serious loss.
Eminently fitted to fill the highest
Office within the gift of the Alliance,
he gracefully served in the modest Ca
pacity of assistant door keeper, and
rendered himself agreeable to all by
the many courtesies which marked
his young life.
Cut off just as he was crossing man
hoods threshold, the community in
which he lived has lost a valued citizen
and the Alliance a member who gave
promise of great usefulness. While
his grief stricken parents will fail to
lean upon an only son in the ''even-
ing of their days" as they had fondly
hoped to do.
Vance County Alliance, with rever-
ent affection, calls upon them to find
comfort in the loving words: what I
do thou knowest not now, but thou
shalt know hereafter"
We offer our warmest sympathy to
the bereaved ones, and hereby in
struct our secretary to send to them a
