A Tale About an Old Man.

Once there lived an old man. Hi:
home was On the steep side of a noun
tain overlooking a beautiful valley.
/ Early spring carpeted the mountain
side with green velvety sward, adorn-
Ing the mounds and rivulet-banks with
beautiful flowers.
Wild birds, perched in the branches
of the few stately elms, warbled their
sweetest songs.
Amongst all this loveliness of nature
was a hut which served as a shelter
for the subject of our tale and an ex-
cuse of home. He was of strong
build, low of stature and slightly stoop-
ed, which, with hair and beard streaked
with gray, gave him the common cpl
thet of '.Old Man"
| Projecting over the one door to this
hut was a kind of awning made rudely
of poles and some stray boards. Over
this an ivy had thrown its branches
and the bright leaves made a covering
where every day, and almost all the
! day, this old man could be seen sitting
| looking down the valley toward the
village which nestled close under an
other m fountain about a mile distant
| from the old mans hut.
Once each week he visited the viii
lage, made some purchases and re-
| celved his mail.
The postmaster knew him as Hugh
Percival He carefully avoided all
companions, scarcely eyer looked at
any one, aud none but the postmaster
had ever heard his voice.
This postmaster kept kind of store.
of groceries, and Hugh Percival made
all his purchases here. He, the post
master, being without any curiosity
and of obtuse observation, had never
learned any thing more OF this strange
old man than his name and knew that
he paid always for what he bought,
this being but one article. The loun-
gers had seen enough to be able to
state that this only article bought was
canned Holsters. This tale was con-
firmed by the P NJ.
Here be had lived for ten years. fol-
lowing the Same eccentric pursuit Of
sitting all day looking at the village.
He did not seem to grow older, nor
to change in any particular.
At first. but little was thought about
him until many efforts to be sociable
with him ended fruitlessly.
Indeed the village gossip. Peter
Seeker, making an attempt. had the
door of the hut shut in his face and
heard the harsh rasping of an inside
bolt which secured this hermit from
all intrusions.
The village children as by instinct
carefully avoided this hut in their
strolls for flowers or berries.
Mothers were wont to restrain the
rising obduracy of their children by
threats OF visit to this old mans hut.
So the villagers each had decided
tacitly to let this man alone to himself.
Once each week he visited the viii
lage. and carried home his mail and
seven cans of Holsters.
To sum them up. the knowledge
about this man was within these limits:
His name was Hugh Percival, he lived
alone, visited the village once a week,
carried home his mail and HOLSTERS.

CONSUMPTION.
The Terror of the 10th Century. Disease
That Attacks All Glasses. Formerly
Considered Hopeless.

Consumption few years ago was considered
as absolutely incurable. The best doctors
today concede that this disease is cured in
many Instances By proper treatment This
complaint is attended by the inability of the
blood to absorb sufficient nourishment from
the food taken into the stomach to create new
tissue. This is due to the impure condition of
this great life maintaining current, or the
imperfect action OF the stomach, kidneys, Or
some OF the other important organs Of the body.
The entire system becomes depleted Ulcers
are formed on the lungs, which gradually eat
deeper and deeper, destroying them entirely,
Or even causing instant death by penetrating
some artery, the patient in tho latter case dying
from hemomhage.
Remove the cause and persuade the vital
centres OF the bcSy to perform their natural
functions and recovery is possible. Kickapso
Indian Sagwa should be taken in every m
stance. The most perfect results attend its use.
It is in the first place wonderful purifier of
the bi2od, and in addition it cures the dis
ordered condition of the stomach, liver add
kidneys. These organs working properE,
and the blood purified and carrying nourish-
rncnt to the tissues throughout the system, the
patient will rapidly gain, the ulcers on the
lungs will soon disappear, and in short ti14s
the sufferer will experience return of health
and strength. Thousands have been saved BY
Its use, and there are many to-day who should
svail themselves Of its wonderful power while
