A MOTORMAN,S LIFE.
FULL OF HARDSHIPS, EXPOSURE AND
CONSTANT DANGER.
The Great Strain on Mans Nerves
Sufficient in Itself to Wreck Him in
q Short Time---The Experience
of weli-Known Motoiman,
From The Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.

From The Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life Of a motormani is not bed Of roses.
He is subjected to many hardshlps, especially
in the winter when he is exposed to the cold
and snow. Even ia the summer he must
bear the intense heat which beats down upon
him. Considerable nerve aud self-possesslon
Is necessary in a good motorman, for the
lives and limbs of his passengers are at stake.
One Of the best known electric motormen in
this city is William Frazer, who is at present
running car on the Cumminsvillc electric
line. He is not only we'll known to his fell
low employees but to the people who travel
on his car. Mr. Frazer is young man about
twenty-sX years OF age and resides with his
wife and child at 14i Belts Street, Cincinnati.
o. About n year ago Mr.. Frazer was taken
with serious stomach troubles. He bought
several kinds OF msdicine which were rec
commended to him, but none OF them seemed
to give him even temporary benefit. An en-
thusastic 0dmirer of that famous remedy
known rs DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People told him to try them. Frazer was
almost discouraged, but took the advice. To
O reporter of tho Enquirer he snld:
81 can most heartily recommend DR.. Will
lams' Pink Pills. They arc all that is
claimed for them, in fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine / ever
saw. l was seized somo time ago with bad
attack of indigestion. MY stomach hurt me
nearly all the tina and / could not digest
my food. Tho pGin was almost unbeatable
and l found nothing that would give me re-
lief. | confess that when [ bought tho first
box OF Pink Pills l hadn't much confidence
In their efficacy because | had tried so many
things without success that was almost dis
couraged. Before l had taken one box I
was decidedly better. Two boxes cured me
entirely. While l have been under the
weather from other causes my indigestion
has never returned. Ii 1t ever should know
Just what to do. have so much confidence
In tho efficacy of Pink Pills that if | ever get
real sick again with any disorder / shall use
some OF them. 1t is II pleasure Tor me L as
sure you to testify to the excellent qualities
of the Pink Pills. They not only tone the
stomach but regulate the bowels and act as
mild cathnrtic."
Mr.. Frazer's tcstimC nial means something.
He speaks from personal experience and any
ono who doubts that he received the benefits
stated can easily verify the assertion by call
ing on Mr. Frazer or seeing him some time
while ho Is on his car.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
clements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They nre sold in boxes (never in
loose form, by the dozen or hundrel) at so

be had OF all druggists or directly by mail

Statue Hidden by verdigris.

An Egyptian statue, the finest of the
kind existing, and as work OF arr
ranking with the Venus of Milo and
the Venus de Medici, has just been
discovered in the Egyptian Gallery OF
the Louvre, almost by accident. 1t is in
bronze, and is the portrait of queen
OF the thirteenth dynasty, named
Karomana. This statue was covered
with a thick coating of verdigris,
which concealed its most striking
beauties, so that visitors constantly
passed it without even suspecting what
treasure was before them.
An almost invisible trace of gold
having been detected on the surface,
it was thought that perhaps some gild-
ing lay under the verdlgris, and the
statue was scraped little with extreme
care.
Something was brought to view far
different from gliding. Whom the
beautiful queen was relieved from her
verdigris she was found to be clothed
in n robe damascened in gold and sill
yer. The workmanship is OF the most
exquisite description, SURPRISING any
thing known in ancient or modern art.
Indeed, the artists in work of the
kind in Paris often stand for hours
before this marvel in an ecstacy OF ad.
miration and despair. The face has a
caressing fixity of purpose, not unlike
that of the wonderful Venus of Milo
in the same building, but even greater
delicacy OF outline. 1t sets one dream
ing as to its meaning and mystery

AS YE WOULD.

II l should see
A brother languishing in sore distress,
And I should turn and leave him COM

When [ might be
A messenger of hope and happiness
How could l ask to have what denied,
Iu my own hour of bitterness supplied?I
II I might share
brothers load along the dusty way,
AMI should turn and walk alone that day,
How could dare
When in the evening watch I knelt to pray
To ask for help to lear my pain and loss,
Ii had needed not my brothers cross?
II might sing
A little song to cheer fainting heart
And should seal my lips and sit apart,
When l might bring
A bit of sunshine for lfe's ache and smart
How could hope to have my grief re-
lieved
II kept silent when my brother grieved?
And so know
That day is lost wherein fail to lend
A helping hand to some wayfaring friend;
But if it show
A burden lightened by the cheer send,
Then do 1 hold the golden hours well
spent,
And lay me down to sleep in sweet cen
tent.

TNTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentlo efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatcd condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families ana is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without dcbilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bcne-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

WORKING FOR HARRISON.
HIS Friends VIII Walt no Longer Ind lana
VIII he Strong For Him.

indianapolis, April C.-The Harrison
campaign for the presidency is under full
Roadway In this State. The ex-presidents
friends have determined that 1t not adj
visable to wait for him to be drafted"
The great strength the Ohio candidate is
showing all over the country has alarmed
them and convinced them that it will be
better to do a little fighting for Harrison
and not trust everything to n "spontane-
Gus uprising in his behalf in the Chi
cago convention.
Thousands of Harrison buttons have
made their appearance in Indiana in the
last two days. and now republicans in all
parts of the State are wearing them. The
inscription on the button Isl Harrison
and Success" The buttons were ordered
by Congressman Lorimer of Illinois, who
has written the friends of Harrison here
that he proposes to vote for the general
on the first ballot.
1t is said that the button idea did not
originate in this State, and the effort is
being made to convince people that the
movement in the interest or Harrison Is
entirely in the hands of representatives
OF the party in other States. 1t Is said
that Congressman Lorimer shipped con-
signments to every State in the Union at
the same time the supply was shipped to
this city.
The Harrison stalwarts" here are de-
ria. They believe that long before the
date for the national convention the Nc
kinley sentiment in this State, which
only n few weeks ago promised to be too
strong TO stem, will have been smothered
in the general demand for the renomina-
ton Of Gen. Harrison.
Several of the delegates to st. Louis
have been called here within two days to
consult with the Harrison managers, and
1t Is now believed there Is n wel-develop-
ed plan &c draw every member Of the
Indiana delegation away from Mckinley.

nominate the eX-president must make It.
