Emmett street. Mr. TAFT was for several
years clerk In the Delaware, Lacka-

commanded the highest respect of his fell
low workers.

for two years with nervous prostration
brought on by oyerwork and excessive
study, and during this time had tried
almost everything in the way of. medi-
cine, besides being treated by an emil
nent specialist in nervous diseases, but
nothing helped me until used Paine's
celery compound. This remedy has
been of great benefit to me- and shall
always recommend it to all sufferers"
The fact is, Paine's celery compound
makes people well. Try it and be con-

A fine bay horse, owned by DR.. d. c.
Beckwith, of North Main avenue, sus-
tained an injury which resulted in death
yesterday afternoon at o'clock on
South Main avenue. The doctor and
a young man from Prices livery were
out making calls, and among other

OF Peter Mullaney, of Hampton street,
whose father is seriously i'll. When DR..
Beckwith was entering the house he
directed the boy to drive the horse
around the block in order to keep him
warm instead of waiting as usual
When the young man reached the cor
ner of Main avenue and Hampton
street, after driving short distance,
he attempted to turn around, but in
doing so the cutter was overturned and
the horse becoming frightened dashed
away.
He ran down Main avenue and came
around by way of the Dodge mine.
When short distance below Bellevue
the animal slipped on the Taylor line
street car rails and fell to the ground,
breaking both forelegs near the knee
joint. The boy was uninjured. DR..
Beckwith found that nothing could be
done for the animal and had him killed

From the Westminster Budget.

The tongue of lion is so rough that
close look at 1t will almost take the skin off
the locker. 1t is not safe to allow a lion
to lick your hand, for If he licked the skin
off and got a taste of the underlying blood,
sUpposing il to be there, he would want the
hand and everything adjoining thereto
Nothing more perfect in modern machinery
exists than the mechanism 10y which a
lion works his claws. He has five toes on
each of his fore feet and four on each of
his hind feet. Each toe has a claw.
Nothing about lion IS without reason.
and the reason ne mas moro toes and claws
on kis fore than on his hind feet is that
he has more use for them. If this We're
not so. the majority would be the other
way. The lion is nocturnal by choice He
has no particular objection to daylight
but likes to spend it in the bosom of his
family, or at least adjacent to it. 1t should
not be supposed that because he roams
about at night he neglects his family. He
roams in order to fill the family larder. He
Kills to eat, not for amusement. He never
bothers small game so long as there is big
game within reach. When feeling fit, he
can take an OK in his mouth and jump
fences and bitches like a professional

HIS RELIGIOUS VIEWS.

Why He Had Reached the Conclusion
That He Was an EpIscopnlian.
From the New York Journal.
Rustic theology often contains much COM
mon sense. though not always in accord
with the canons. A clergyman came to
preach in southern parish, and while walk
ing across the fields met a farm laporer,
who in the course of conversation said he
was a 'Piscopal.
The clergyman was glad to hear 1t, and
asked if he belonged to the parish, to which
the laborer answered that he didn't knaw"
Then what diocese do you belong to?"
was the next question.
''Ther' amt nawthin like that round
here" replied the other
who confirmed you, them"
Nobody answered the laborer
Then you are an Episcopalian?" asked
tn, clergyman.
Well was the reply, you see, it's this
way: Last winter l was visitin' a friend
and while was there l went to church, and
it was called 'Piscopal, and l heard them
say that they left undone the things what
they oughter done. and they'd done some
things what they oughten done and says
to myself, says 1, That's my fix. exactly
and ever since l considered myself a 'Pisco-
palian.'
