A MOTORMAN'S LIFE.
Full of Hardships, Exposure and
Constant Danger.
IN Great Strain on a Mans Nerves Srf-
ncient In Itself to Wreck Him in u
short Time-The Experience of q
well-Known Motorman-
From he Cincinnati, ohio, Enqarer.

From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life of a motorman is not a bed of
roses. He is subjected TO many hardsh!ps
especially in the winter when he is exposed
TO the cold and snow. Even in the summer
he must bear the intense heat which beats
down upon MIN. Considerable nerve and
self possession is necessary in q good motor
man, for the lives and limbs of his pas
sengers are at stake. One of the best
known electric motormen in this city is
William Frazer, who IS at present running
q car on the Cummil,sville electric lire. He
Is not only well known TO his fellow en-
ployes but TO the people who travel on his
car. Mr.. Frazer is q young Elan about
twenty-siX years of age and resides with his
wife and child at Ia Belts Street, Cincin-
natl, o.. About a year ago Mr.. Frazer was
taken with serious stomach troubles He
bought several kids of medicine which
were recommended TO him, but none Of
them seemed TO give him even temporary
benefit. An enthusiastic admirer of that
famous remedy known as DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People told him to try
them. Frazer was almost discouraged, but
took the advice. To a reporter Of the En-
Quirer he said:
al can most heartily recommend DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. They are ell that is
claimed for them, in fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine / ever
saw. / was seized some time ago with a
Ddu aJJdCk OF indigestion. MY SIOlldCu
hurt me nearly all the time and ! could not
digest my food. The pain was almost I'M
bearable and l found nothing that would give
me relief. / confess that when ! bought
the first box of Pink Pills i hadn't much
confidence in their efficacy because / had
tried so many things without success that |
was almost discouraged. Before / had
taken one box / was decidedly better. Two
boxes cured me entirely. While | have
been under the weather from other causes
my indigestion has never returned. If it
ever should l know just what to do. have
so much confidence in the efficacy Of Pink
Pills that IL lever get real sick again with
any disorder l shall use some of them. 1t
is a pleasure for me l assure you TO testify
% the excellent qualities of these Pink Pills.
They not only tone the stomach but regu-
late the bowels and act as a milo cathartic."
Mr.. Frazer's testimonial means some
thing. He speaks from personal experience
and any one who doubts that he received
the benefits stated can easily verify the a,
sertion by calling on Mr.. Frazer or seeing
him some time while heis on his car.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are sold in boxes never in
loose form by the dozen or ~hundred) at 30
cents a box. or six boxes for &. so, and may
be had of all druggists or directly by mail
from DIR. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, n. Y.

there, in the new land that the river
has given him. He feels the good mud
with his bare toes. Anon comes
another, saying he will put onions and
carrots and sugar cane in such and
such places. They meet as boats adrift
meet, and each rolls his eye at the
other under the big blue turban. The
old mugger secs and hears. Each calls
the other brother and they go TO

IL Depends on What Part OF the Country
You Are In.
What Is a ''team?" Is IL an animal
hitched TO a wagon, or two or more
animals and q wagon, or simply two
animals harnessed up together? Does
the word include the vehicle? An eX-
cited Bostonian, writing from Nebraska
TO a Boston paper, confesses his humili-
alton when, upon remarking that a
team had been left in the street, he
was told by u cowboy that he meant a
wagon. He admits, says Harper's
Weekly, that the cowboy was right,
and so il seems here. In the state OF
New York, where q high standard of
language prevails, team" properly in
sludes the animals, II more than one,
which haul a vehicle, but not the ve-
hicle itself; but improperly IL is used TO
designate any animal or animals
hitched TO any vehicle. II is not used,
however, TO designate the vehicle with
out the animals, as seems sometimes
the case in New England. A synonym
for team in its degenerate sense in New
York state is rig" In the more OBJ
jectionable phrase of newspaper Eng
