on the leading topics of the times, so that
even wise and grave men marvel at his
quick and accurate grasp of current af
fairs. Master Leon is gifted besides and
mimic.
One would hardly think to look at him
that he is one of the most remarkable chill
dren that have ever appeared before the
New York public. We have had Wallie
Eddinger, Josef Hoffman,, Cyril Tyler,
Tommy Russell and a dozen others, but
they were big boys when they made them
selves famous compared to little Walter
Leon. for his fame is not newly acquired,
although the ionizing by beauty and
fashion is of recent date. Four years ago
he could recite "Spartacus to the Gladia-
tors" with excellent dramatic effect and
remarkable clearness of enunciation
Three years ago he learned and acted the
part of Hamlet, and then, you see, he was
only years old.--New York Advertiser,

floating a bout his head, "A sammy smile and
twinkling eyes, he talked in the funniest
way about the burning questions of the

SERVED IN TWO WARS
GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE THE
BULLET FAILED.
Who Can Look on the Intirmities of IA
Veteran without Feeling of
Deepest sympathy?
e Herald, Woodstock, Va. !

From the Herald, Woodstock, Va
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mex
leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturff. He passed through
both Of these wars without serious
wound. The hardships, however, told
seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the in
tirmities of Il veteran without feeling
of the deepest sympathy? His towns
people saw him confined to his house SO
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold knife and fork at
the table, scarcely able to walk too, and
rs he attempted it, he often stumbled
and fell. They saw him treated by the
best talent to be had-but still he
suffered Oh for four years, and gave up
finally III despair. One day, however,
he was struck by the account of cure
which had been effected by the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. He i'm
mediatly ordered box and commenced
taking 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 he can not only walk to
Woodstock but can walk across the
mountains. He is able to lift up a
fiftytwo 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
a great work for him.
He was i'll town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises Of the
medicine that had given so great relief.
He purchased another box and took it
home with him. Mr.. McInturff is
willing to make affidavit 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 eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re-
suits with them, curing all forms OF
weakness arising from a watery condi-
ton of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every i'll
to which flesh is heir. The pills are
also specific for the troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, all
forms of weakness, chronic constipa
ton, bearing down pains, etc, and i'll
the case of men will give speedy relief
and effect permanent cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork,
or excuses of whatever 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 will be sent post paid on
receipt of price, go cents box, or six
boxes for 81. 50-they are never sold i'll

MORE HASTE, LESS SPEED.

There is a natural and very strong de-
sire in the spring and early summer to get
rid of underwear and overwear, so that the
fresh air may thoroughly refresh. But the
worst colds of the whole year are taken
and especially at open windows, where the
drafts are strongest and chill the surest.
1t is there where lumbago sets in. 1t is
just the condition and circumstance to
make such an attack sure. 1t is just the
time also when St. Jacobs Oh should be
handy for immediate use. 1t is time
too, when it makes its surest cures. For
lumbagu il is q certain remedy.

operations on that day, and they will fire.
Guently suffer inconvenience, If not actual
loss, rather than do so. Men who can look
at the tape as it runs out of the ticker and
see fortunes slipping out of their grasp
without a change of expression will turn
pale when they remember that they forgot
to tip a beggar before entering the ex-
change There are others who will not
sit down to luncheon without first walk

There is halter in New York who has

THE INSURANCE PLAN.
IN order to prevent the men from Joining
the union, the company has adopted
the insurance idea. They have, l am
told, clause in the application that pro-
hibits a member from joining any other
railway organization, and whether the
men want to do so or not, or whether
they can spare the money or not, they viii

When Mr.. Lawrence was interrOgated

declined 10 discuss it, but Faid that. while
he could not speak for the union, he thought
that there was no doubt that Hauer would
be financially aided.
1t is pretty certain that the matter will
be brought up for discussion at the next

The efforts of the friends Of Billy Nc

Raedy's hackers were so confident that
their man had been put out by chance

contingent, and it looked a certainty that
the men wcEld meet again at once
Later in the day, however, it was de-
cided that it would be more advanta geous
for them to wait awhile and bring the go
off before some recognized club, and the
forfeit was withdrawn.

rout went by like whirlwind, raising a big
cloud Of dust and making the ncighbnrhood

Just below the hotel the drag had taken

Chicago, Aug. AFTER a rest of several
weeks the Chicago Fair Grounds Associa-
ton. operating the Harlem race track, has
arranged to resume its thoroughbred rae
ing, which was prevented by the Civic Fed
Grafton. Hopes of legislative action in the
direction of a turf law which would per-
nit pool-selling ON the tracks having failed
an effort will be made to conduct meeting
without public betting. There will be many
hand books at the track. but the associa-
ton Will derive its support from the gate
privileges.
Over 800 good horses are now stabbed at
the track The management hopes to be
able to secure such patronage as will
warrant the running of the $25,00O Ma
tional Derby and other stake events ar
ranged last winter and which had never
been declared off. The jealousy existing
between the local tracks and that at
Roby this spring is a thing of the past,
and Corrigan and the Indiana track owners
