The Augusta Herald is evidently OPP

A horse can be ridden to death. It is easy
to do it if you don't feed him and, if you
work him when he is sick. A man may ride
himself to death in the same way. Hard
work is good thing for man whose daily
nutrition repairs the daily waste. When he
begins to run down hill he had better look
out. When he begins to lose flesh, he will
begin to lose vitality. He will have to spur
himself more and more to keep himself
going. Spurs are bad things to use on either
horses or men. The man who is drawing
out strength and vitality faster than he is
putting it into his body needs DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This is the
greatest blood maker and flesh builder in
the world. 1t is a stimulating, purifying
tonic. 1t fills the blood full of richness and
helps all the digestive organs to do theii
work 1t brings good appetite, sound
sleep, solid muscle. 1t does not-like cod
liver oil-produce only flabby, useless fat.
Corpulent people may take it without be.
coming more feshy. The man who is not
eating well, or working well, or sleeping
well, or resting we'll frequently needs moth

should not let the druggist persuade him to
try something else which is better for the
druggists profit.

Adventures of a Man Afloat Ten Days ID

After almost incredible suffering, AL
bert jackson was rescued from the
schooner Jessie p, which was wrecked
by the great storm that swept over the
gulf ten days ago. When the Jessie P.
left st. Andrews Bay, Fla, for Pensa-
cola there were several passengers on
board, one of whom was jackson. The
vessel was caught in storm and was
deserted by the crew, who took with
them in the boats all the passengers
save Jackson. The latter was asleep
in the cabin at the time and was forgot

Jackson, but the storm was too fierce
to put back, and the missing man was
supposed to have gone down with the
vessel.

ever, and her waterlogged hulk was

The silver men give away the case
when they say that free coinage will
increase prices" The one universal
human interest is cheapness. The ideal
condition would be one wherein all de-
sirable things were produced without
any cost at all. Every advance toward
that condftion-that is to say, every
cheapeping of the necessities of life-is
q great gain for everybody. On the other
hand, every increase in the price of the
necessities of life is direct and gri0v-

sighted and boarded by fishermen from
smack. AS the fishermen were walk
ing about the deck they heard faint
rapping in the cabin. The matches were
battened down, but the fishermen broke
them open and entered the cabin. As
they entered they saw the form of Jack
son on the floor and number of large
rats gnawing at his legs. AS the rats
gnawed, jackson, although uncon-
scious, would strike his feet against
the floor, and it was this that caused
the rapping. The rats were very fierce,
and left their prey reluctantly as the
fishermen approached.
jackson was taken on deck, and after
several hours was revived sufficiently to
tell of his experience. When he awoke
on the night of the storm and found
his companions gone and the matches
battened down, his reason almost tot
tered. He made desperate but futile
efforts to burst open the matches. There
were few biscuits and little water
in the cabin, but the bread and drink
were soon gone. He fought the rats of

unconscious. He had been unconscious
two days when rescued. Jackson's legs
are horribly gnawed by the rats, and
he is weak from hunger and thirst. but

FILLEY'S HUMILIATION.
Sees His Seat IN the Convention Hall
Occupied by Another His Face
a Study,

ST. Louis, June 1.-THE distinguish
ing feature of the Missouri delegation
In the convention to-day was the
evident depression of Mr.. Filley.
When he came up the convention hall
he looked sour and his eountenanee
never changed during the whole time
he sat in the auditorium. The seat he
expected to occupy in the delegation
was held by another, and an enemy at
that. Worse still, the national com
mitteemanship had been gobhied by
his arch enemy, Kerens.
While Major Warner, as chairman
OF the delegation, was announcing the
committees for Missouri, Filley's face
was study. He cooked Inundated,
almost annihilated. Warner was doing
the prominent work, filling the post
"de ole man. had mapped out for
himself, along with other duties that
carried with them importance and
prominence. The veteran of 30 many
battles has been hit hard, and is keenly
feeling the modification. He was
crushed before, but he got his revenge
in time and quickly recuperated and
retrieved his lost prestige. Many
think he has reached the age where
recovery is impossible.

THE Mexico Tribune, a Republican
paper, spreads itself over a great deal
of space on account of Sam B. Cooks
"pairing with 4. S.Wilson'' in the last
election in Missouri. The Tribune
tries to rub it in on Cook for not vot-
ing for Clark and endeavors to make
capital in favor of Treloar. The same
medicine that the Tribune administers
TO Mr.. Cook would apply directly to
Hon. f. 8. Wilson, one of Audrain
County's most prominent Republicans
"A man who was seriously consider
ed" as tho Republican nominee for
Congress from this district. Mr.. Will
son did not vote for Mr.. Treloar.
Should other Republicans who do not
stand nearly So high in the party as
MIR. neutrality-suspicious. who are not
silk stockings vote for TreIoar if
Wilson wouldn't do il? The LEDGER
was not informed until within the last
few days that Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Will
son paired at the last election. Any
attack that the Tribune can make on
Mr.. Cook for not voting for Mr.. Clark
applies more seriously to Mr.. Wilson,
who was in Mexico on the day Of the
election and did not vote for Treloar.
II Mr. Treloar is not good enough for
Mr. Wilson to vote for he is surely
not good enough for The rank and file
OF the Republican party. Let The Tri-
oane take its oten medicine.

A Cleveland family was in court the
other day. A daughter was one of the
witnesses and she had this cheerful
tale to tell of her father: "Pa was sit
ting in his saloon feeling lonely. He
went to the barn, and putting a halter
on his horse brought him INTO the
house, saying he wanted the animal to
eat supper with him. Pa made me set
a plate for his horse. Then he took
hold of the horses front legs and lifted
them up on the table. We all sat
down to supper and the horse began
to eat. Pa picked up mug of beer
and began to laugh and throw both
hands in the air. The mug hit the
horse on the nose. The beast pulled
his feet down, dragging the tablecloth
and upsetting the table. The horse
backed up and sat squarely on red
hot stove. This blrned its tail SO the
animal kicked the stove over and ran
out of the door. screamed and pa
threw lamp at me. The house came

The superstitions that encompass
and harass a bride are so many and
for the most part so utterly foolish
that 1t is a positive delight To find a
bride who utterly ignores some of the
time worn beliefs. Everybody knows
that it is the worst of luck for the
bride to wear her wedding gown be-
fore the day of her wedding, and to
try on the veil is simply tempting
Providence, but one OF the most
charming brides of the season did
both. She is the Vice Presidents
daughter, too, Miss Julia Stevenson.
Several days before her wedding she
posed to Miss Frances Benjamin John

wore the different gowns OF her trous-

and several OF the, pictures represent
her yelled in the bridal iulIe. II was

that, but there are very few brides

days on which he gave concerts--and
few nights were missed - he took
nothing during the day but cup of
tea, waiting until II O'Clock or later
for his dinner. Then he ate an ciab-
crate dinner, with as many courses
and as much variety as the we'll
equipped kitchen of his car offered.
II was after dinner that he seemed to
really wake up, and usually at mid
night he commenced to play whist
with his companions on the car. The
whist playing lasted usually until 8

was years and months old when
the cold hand of death claimed him.
He was our baby brother. How he is
missed tongue cannot tell. No little
willing hands to help mother; no boy
ish laughter to ring in our ears. There
is no way we can look without seeing
something to remind US of our loved
one. Yet for the sake of those that
are spared to us on earth we must
bravely bear our sorrow.
His work of life is over,
With its weary care and pain;
He has left it all behind him,
Never more to feel again.
When the pearly gates he entered,
Into perfect rest and peace,
There he met our loved ones,
In the realms of endless bliss.
When our march of life is over,
With its battles fought and won,
In a victory rejoicing,
To that city we shall come;
Then we'H hail our friends and loved
In that glorious land above.
