THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes cholSed up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tfsm. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keepS it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try a Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
difference. Take It in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.

AMERICAN GAME OF DRAW.
II Throws wisconsin Town Into n
Ferment.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Some time ago one of the local papers
at Black Falls, Wis, wrote a severe ar
ticle on the sin and evil consequences
of poker playing, and especially the dan
ger that threatened some of the leading
young men in the city If their course was
continued. There was a great deal of
fiuttering among the young men, although
no names had been mentioned, but it
showed plainly that they were badly hit.
The exposition was a great surprise to
the fathers and mothers, and also to the
employers OF some of the young men.
The matter has. been taken up by the
pulpit and one of the preachers turned on
the steam to full head last Sunday. Last
Thursday night IL was made the special
subject of discussion and prayer at the
midweek prayer meetings, and an effort
Will be made to organize in some way to
induce the authorities to enforce the law
in the city against gambling, For the
past three years there has been no re-
straint put upon gambling in the city, and
it has grown to an alarming extent.
In a recent conversation upon card play
ing, the mayor referred in particular to
two persons with whom he was acquaint-
ed who had practically renewed their
youth by laying aside their old puritanic-
al ideas in regard TO certain matters nd
taking up card playing with the young
people for amusement One of these gem
tlemen, he said, was the founder and the
leading member of one OF the churches
of La Cross. The natural inference from
the mayors remarks is that If it is a
good thing 10 renew the youth of the older
ones it must necessarily act the same
on the young and keep them eternally
young. But be his views on this question
what they may as an individual, he will
in all probability as public officer be
requested to enforce the law against this
evil as we'll as against some others for
which the city has gained no very envi-
able reputation and which has given it
a great deal too much notoriety, for the
press, churches and many of the leading
business men of the city, regardless OF
creed, politics or anything else except the
best interests of the morals of the city.
think these things have already gone
much too far and ought to be suppressed.
The editor of the paper in question has
been sat down on pretty hard by some
of the young men, but the majority of
people think he has done a good thing
for the city and will stand by him in his
efforts to establish good municipal gov
eminent,

PORTRAIT ON HIS HAND.
4 south Carolina Baby Who is Queer
Iy Marked by Nature.
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
Three or four years ago, in 1891 or 1892
if my memory is not at fault. the eighth
wonder of the world was born at Rose
berg, S. C. The freak in question was a
baby, born into a family of Clark Osborn
a well-known merchant of the town men,
toned above, and the oddly was a natu-
raj portrait in the hand of the little one
Those who made a critical examination
of the babys hand as soon as the curl
osity was discovered say that the por-
trait on the tiny palm was that of a
child apparently about years old.
The features were clear cut and distinct
and appeared to be those of the child ly-
ing sound asleep. The delicately tinted
lips were partly open, showing four pear
ly teeth; the eyes were tightly closed and
the cheeks were full red and natural.
When the mother first, discovered the mi
raculous imprint on her newborn dar-
ling's hand she tainted, owing partly, IL is
said, to the fact that the portrait was an
excellent likeness of the face of her little
3-year-old daughter, who had died about
two months before.

THE PLANT BANQUET.
The Railroad Magnate Much Pleased
With His OcaIa Reception.

with HIS Ocala Reception.
Ocala, Fla, Feb. 6.-The echoes of the
Plant banquet have not yet entirely died
out, because of the many expressions of
Mr.. Plant that he and his party were
greatly pleased at the cordial reception
given him and his friends, and the hos
pitality rendered him at the banquet.
Toast Master Allen said in his welcome:
Your presence VIII prove to be the in
augural of a long and fast friendship. a
friendship of mutual help and depend
ence"-and his reference to the Ocala
house, as Ocala's white elephant, painted
red, which Mr., Plant had taken, groomed
and curried and given a proper keeper,
and how gratifying 1t was to our people
was heartily applauded. Mr.. Plant made
ance of disapproVal of a state railroad
commission, with the neat thrust at Sem
ator Can, who, not satisfied by, state and
tempted but failed. to get a committee
appointed TO come to Florida and superin-
tend how the voter should be treated by
the railroad monopolies, made his au-
dience smile.
Mayor Reardon, as is his enthusiastic
wont. said that Ocala would be one of the
three great cities of the state.
Hon. s. c. McLendon, one of Thomas
vile, Ga s elegant speakers, paid most
grateful and beautifully worded tribute
to Woman" Hon, r. A. Burford told
what Ocala's Board of Trade had done,
and was doing for town and county.

man who had much experience in manu-

HAD Fun WITH HIM.
a Young Law student Who Was Not
a HypnOtfst.

FROM the PlftsDurB POST
Ann Arbor. Mich. Jan. "a crowd Of
senior laws and Its are stiIi laughing over
the fun they had with a fresh law from
the west. He is rather uncouth. but none
the less confident Of his own abilities,
and while a hypnOtist was here recently
the law became imbued with the notion
that he was born 20 star in hypnotic cir
Giles and had santanelli's art at his finger
ends.
Now. when a fresh law thinks anything.
which is commonly reputed to be a rare
thing, he isn't long in making it known.
and this particular one RECALLED the fellows
with stories of his supposed hypnotic
proves In sef-defense they banded to-
gether ana put up a deal on the fresh
law. He was invited to try his hypnotic
powers on various ones, and each night
the particular fellow who submitted TO
being put in trance, as the law thought
u was, outdid the others in the ridiculous
things he did. BY the end of a week the
law was so proud Of his remarkable hyp-
motto successes that he had given up at
tending lectures, and was thinking of OBJ
tanning his credit for the law courses by
hypnotizing the professor at the end of
the year.
The joke had begun to get stale with
the other fellows, however, and they de-
cided to give IL a fitting climax. While
here the professional hypnotist had said
that, II one told a hypnotized person 10
see q snake he would start to run and
could not be stopped The law student
was giving his usual exhibition with
very athletic student one night, when the
others persuaded the would-be hypnotst
TO tell his subject TO see a snake. He had
no sooner done so than the subject gave
bound for the door and apparently fell
disappearing at top speed in the dark
ness. The frightened law was convinced
that his victim would be like the man
with the cork leg that never stopped"
and would circumnavgate the globe be-
fore showing up, according to the profess
sionals prediction. He sought for the ath-
lete for two hours in vain, and when he
returned the others read him a lecture on
the evils he had wrought. He was so
frightened that he left the boarding house,
and has steered clear OF his supposed sub
iect ever since
