MARVELLOUS RESULTS.

From a letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract;

DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the
case of my wife. While was pastor Of
the Baptist church at lIives Junction
she was brought down with Pneu-
monia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them, A friend recommended DR..
Kings New Discovery; it was quick in
its work and highly satisfactory in re-
suits. Trial bottles free at John Y.

The Cid Mules One Experience at Sled
ding Was Ali lie Wanted.
One day last winter when the snow
was hard the boys in our part of the
town had fine time coasting down a
long hill. For change they decided to
capture Ned and make him draw them
through the streets.
Ned was an old donkey owned by no
one. He lived by picking up what stray
bits he could find Oh the streets and
sheltered himself III an old she'd. After
some hunting they found him taking
his lunch from an ash barrel. They let
him cat what he wanted SO that he
might be as good natured as possible
One boy ran home and brought some
pieces Of old rope. Then they made q
rough kind of harness.
Ned was kind enough to stand still
while they harnessed him. Then they
fastened their sleds together, with Joe
Brown in front, for he wa: to drive.
Joe took up his cord reins and gave
the word to Ned o''get up" The dom
key only turned and looked back at the
dozen or more sleds to which he was
tied. think he decided that the load
was too much for him. Joe used "a
switch on him, but he hung his head
and stood quite still. After waiting
some time the boys grew tired AID be-
gan to unite their sleds. Ned looked
back and then made a sudden start. He
trOtted down the road 1T such IL rate
that the boys had quite chase to get
ON.
Ned found it easier than he expected,
or else he wanted to make up for lost
time. for he drew them up one street
and down another for Il half hour. Then
he began to slacl,en his pace, bat Joe
urged HIM Oh with his switch. Poor
Ned thought there was to he no end TO
his task. An idea seemed to strike him
Suddenly, for he rushed down the street
| at Il great rate.
On one side Of the street was Il deep
ditch. When Ned came to it, he leaped
across it. dragging the sleds at such an
angle in such way that they all tipped
over, leaving the boys i'll the ditch.
Ned then started Oh with the empty
sleds, making straight for his old shed.
The boys found him there eating Il whisp
Of straw. They took his harness off and
hung il up i'll the shed. But that was the
first and last time they used it, Tor Ned
would never let them put it on again.
To this day, if any one goes near him
with "a piece of rope, he will take to his
heels. Our Little Ones.
