THE GUARDS STORY.
From the State Journal, lincoln, Nth

There Is probably not q stronger man or
moro trustworthy guard employed ut the
Nebraska State Penitentiary than ]. T.
Ralston. To stranger no appears very
good example of the man who boasts that
he never was sick day in his life.
For many years Mr.. Ralston lived ut Sy.
racuse, Nebraska, ind the old residents
there remember him Us one Of the strongest
and healthiest Of their number.
In 80 or hercabouts, when the "grip"
nrst broke forth In this section Of the coun-
try, 1t claimed him as one Of It's earliest vic
Tins. Like most men with strong phys
ique, he sneered ut the disease and did not
guard properly against IL. For days he lay
in bed and left 1t only Us confirmed in
valid.
About this time he moved with his family
10 Peru, Nebraska, where some Of his chill
dren were attending the State Normal
School. He hoped the change would do him
good, but he was disappointed. He doctored
with the local physicians, aud even with his
own son who was practicing medicine All
seemed TO no avail, ind, miserable In mind
and body, the poor man told Instantly that
he feared there was no hope for him.
A happy thought OF his own led him TO try
strong stimulants. He was again able To
work. But he soon found that his relief
was but temporary, and when bad weather
came on he was subject 70 severe attacks OF
the grip" as before.
Two years ago Mr.. Ralston was employed
ut the Nebraska State Pcnitentiary ut Lin
coin, the state capital, and enjoyed compat.
alive ease while performing the duties OF
usher. Last fall, however, he was put out
on the wall, and with his change Of work
came his old trouble In even more aggra-
waited form. He was not only troubled with
the usual miserable feelings OF the grip"
but he found himself short OF breath and
generally weak, these things uniting him
Tor tho duties Of his position.
Once more, almost In despair, he sought
cure, and purchased box Of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He used
them according TO directions aud felt better.
FIVE moro boxes followed the first and the
ong sufferer was well man.
Said lie to q Journal reporter, to whom no
had Just given the above facts: II feel now
ns though could stack moro hay than any
man in Nebraska, and II needed a position
now would hunt one on q harvest field.
Why, only last Sunday night took o Sc
we're cold, which year ago would have laid
mo up with the grip but now II causes
me only temporary annoyance, and simply
live IL on"

known In many parts OF Nebraska both as
