Our Sympathies Always Enlisted in the
Infrmlties of the Veteran.
(From the Herald, Woodstock, Va.)
There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served in the war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi McInturn.
He passed through both these wars WITHOUT
a serious wound. The hardships, however,
told seriously on him, for when the grip at
tackled him four years ago it nearly killed
him. Who can look upon the inflrmities OF
a veteran without a feeling OF the deepest
sympathy His townspeope saw him con-
fined to his house 50 Frustrated with great
nervousness that he could not hold knife
and fork at the table, scarcely able to walk,
too. and as he attempted 1t, he often STUN
bled and fell. They saw him treated by the
best talent to be had-but still he suffered on
for four years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by the ac-
count of a cure which had been affected by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. He i'm
mediately ordered box AID commenced TAX
ing them. He says he was greatly relieved
within three days time The blood found its
way to his fingers, and his hands, which had
been palsied assumed a natural color, and
he was soon enabled to use his knife and fork
at the table. He has recovered his strength
to such an extent that he is able to chop
wood. shock corn and do his regular work
about his home. He now says ne can not
only walk to Woodstock, but can walk across
the mountains. He is able to lift up fifty
Two pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done for others, but knows that they
have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praise OF the medicine
that had given him so great relief. lie pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. Mr.. McInturff Is willing to make ALL
davit to these facts.
The proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine, but
prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner, who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all forms
of weakness arising from watery condition
of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful
causes of almost every ill to which flesh is
heir. The pills are also specific Tor the
trouble peculiar to females, such as suppress
sions, all forms OF weakness, chronic consti-
patton, bearing down pains, etc, and in the
case OF men will give speedy relief and effect
permanent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excuses OF what,
ever nature. They are entirely harmless and
can be given to weak and sickly children
with the greatest good and without the
slightest danger. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or win be sent postpaid on receipt OF

HENS Brood of Quail.

While Mr. ]. T. Stuart, a prosperous
farmer living near Knoxville, Tenn,
was moving his grass this summer, the
machine cut off the head of hen quail,
which was setting on her nest. A
broken egg showed that the eggs would
have been Matched in few days. A
little daughter of Mr.. Stuart's took the
eggs and carefully put them under a
hen. whose eggs were to hatch In
day or two. Fourteen Of the quail eggs
hatched and sixteen Of the hens. For
q week or two the young quail went
under the hen at night, as the chick
ems did; after that they roasted In one
corner Of the coop by themselves.
The little girl fed and looked after
them. and they seemed to have no fear
Of her, but would come and jump in
her hand. The moment anyone else
came about they would run and hide.
Their favorite hiding place was under
the chickens, and sometimes two or
three would try to get under one chick
on. and In their efforts to hide would
completely upset it. After they could
fiy fairly we'll they took up their abode
in the garden, but would always come
TO the little girls call Of "Chick, chick,
chick" and if at distance would fly
and alight at her feet. When they were
quite small an old cock quail came for
several days and tried to toll them
away, but they would not go with him.
They are now full grown, and all are
living but one, which killed itself
against a wire gate only q few days
ago.-Forest and Stream.

Russian (;OurtSs

In the poorer parts of Russia justice
IS administered in primitive yet Ell
fective fasion, says recent writer VINO
had the fortune to be present at a sit
ting of one of the peasant courts IN
Government of Central Russia. The
Judges, chosen from the peasants, were
unlettered. The session was held IN
log cabin-a small, low room. A PIC
ture of the Emperor decorated the
wall, and rs in every Russian house, IN
the corner hung the holy eikons. Three
Judges and a scribe were present. The
day was Sunday, day of idleness for
the peasantry. The hall, the judges,
and the public all had an air of simple
dignity, almost of rude majesty.
Tvs cases were tried. Parties and
witnesses. as they entered, bowed low
to the holy images. The judges spoke
and questioned by turns, or all at once,
each loudly expressing his opinion. l
admired the patient persistence with
which they tried to bring the litigants
TO an amicable understanding. One
case was characteristic.
A woman, a large, robust virago,
complained of having been beaten by
a man. The mans defence was that
the woman had struck him first.
Plaintiff and defendant stood before
the Judges volubly pleading each his
or her case and appealing to their VIII
nesses at their sides.
"Varvara Petrova," declared one wiz
ness for the defendant, "has said that
with a vedro of vodka she was sure OF
winning her case"
This statement did not appear to as
tonish or scandaliZe the court. The
Judges gravely nodded their heads, and
after brief rebuke went on with the
case. ,
"Come to terms; make up between
you," they repeated over and over, try
ing to get the parties themselves to
suggest a sentence, instead OF pro-
nouncing one ex cathedra. -,
"Well, now, Varvara Petrova," SAID
one of the Judges, at last, show much
indemnity do you want?"
"Three roubles."
"Ah, three roublesl That's toe
much. You won't get that" muttereC
the Judge. Then turning to the de-
PENDANT, "And you, how much are you
willing to give herr"
Nothing" replied the man.
"Ah, again muttHred the Judge
"that's not enough, How much vii
you give her?'
"WeI, then, one rouble."
zone rouble and a shtOf?" inter
ruted the woman.
"Shtofs and whisky are not to b.
mentioned here" remarked one OF TIT
Judges, whose austerity may have beer
increasedby our presence. "Out o
here you may drink all you want, bu
that has nothing to do with the de
cisions we render here"
The woman, on this, looked resigned
