The End.

Gen. James S. Hackney was found
dead in an alley back of the Pacific
house, jefferson CITY.
An investigation developed the fact that he
died from excessive drinking. At one time he
was one of the most prominent political figures
in Missouri, but his unfortunate habits
during the past twenty-five years re-
duced him to wreck. His political
career began in 1854, when he held the
position OF chief clerk in the Office of state
register of lands under the late Allen p Rich
ardSon. He was acknowledgement of the state
under Gov. Sterling Price and the present
state 'armory building was constructed while
he was holding the Office. During the war he
amassed money in private business enter
prises. but squandered it. He was a man OF
brilliant attachments. and was connected with
some OF the most prominent families in central
Missouri.

bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the sores
were all healed and she is perfectly well.

THIS is PLAIN ENOUGH.

Practical Advantages of Good Roads
strikingly Set Forth.
The practical advantages of good
roads are strikingly set forth by a
writer in Lippincotts Magazine, the
vicinity of Moorestown in New Jersey,
being selected as an illustration. This
Is in Burlington county, ten miles from
Philadelphia. Radiating from Moores-
town are twenty-four miles of good
nacadamized roads, built by an issue
of town bonds and by means of the
state aid law of 1891. Before these
roads were constructed real estate in
the neigh borhood of Moorestown was
absolutely dead; since they were built
1t is much in request, and near the
town almost city prices have been paid
for land. The contrast in this respect
between Moorestown and other towns
possessing equal natural advantages is
great Furthermore, instead of four
horse wagons built to carry so q
bushel baskets, farmers thereabouts
now use two-horse wagons carrying
1875 baskets of the same size. Argu-
ments of this kind cannot fail to make
an impression on the minds of people
in all farming communities Just the
same results as at Moorestown might
not follow everywhere, but something
approximating to them surely would,
and short of the matter is that good
roads pay. This is now matter of alb

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

THE ENGLISH CUCKOO.
A Selfish Bird Wanting Everything All
for Itself.


The English cuckoo "sings as she
flies" and the English people are glad
to hear it's voice, Cuckoo! cuck-oo!'
because it tells them that the spring has
come; but no good children can like its
mean, ugly ways.
The mother does not build nest OF
her own, as all respectable birds should
do, but lays her eggs in the nest of
some other bird much smaller than
herself
When the young cuckoo is hatched,
before it has feathers, or even gets its
eyes open, it feels around to see if
there is anything else in the nest; if it
finds eggs, it manages to push them
over the side of its stoleh home. If a
young bird is there, perhaps its own
sister or brother, the naughty cuckoo
works its body under the helpless
creature, and by dint of backing and
pushing, contrives to get the poor
thing out of the nest; down it goes on
the ground and is killed, unless the
nest is low; then it becomes chilled and
dies. Over and over again the murderer
'slaughters its victims until 1t is left
alone in the nest. "Such mean,
selfish, disagreeable bird!" you say. l
agree with you, but there are children
who would like to keep everything for
themselves, too.-Our Little Ones
