A Lucky Chance for the Sick and
y Suffering.

We ere aware that our people who
suffer from nervous. chronic or long
standing complaints do not have the
same opportunity to be cured as do the
residents Of THE great cities where the
most eminent physicians and specialists
reside. In other words. our people are
3deharrsd from seeking a cure by the
great and skilled physicians owing to the
co5t of travel to the large city and the
high fees charged by such physicians.
n Here. therefore. is n chance for the sick
OF our community which should not be
lest. DR.. Greene, of 80 West 18th St.
New YeFk City, who has the largest
practice in the world and who is without
DOUBT the most successful specialist in
curing all forms OF nervous and chronic
diseases, offers to give free consultation
by mail to all sufferers WHOM their
local physician has failed TO cure. You
have the privilege of consulting DIR.
Greene by letter, describing your COM
plants. and he will. after carefully con-
siderlng your condition. send you a let
ter fully explaining all your symptoms,
telling you everything about your com
plants SO plainly that you will under
stand exactly what ails you. He will
also give you his advice. based upon his
vast experience and wonderful success
In treating such cases, as TO just what
to do to get cured. All this will cost
you nothing, and you can thus have
consultation with the best known Physi-
otan and acknowledged most successful
specialist In the world. without leaving
home and at no expense whatever. The
doctor is the Gfscoverer OF that greatest
Of adj known medicines. DR.. Greene's
sNervura blood and nerve remedy and
9he. has discovered many other most
valuable remedies. Write him now, for

ceremonies Of the day were to be per
formed at the town hall, before the
main entrance of which a rude stand
had been constructed for the speakers,
who were to uncork their eIoquence at
high noon.
High noon arrived and found the
high dignitaries of the occasion in their
places, and there was a high old time.
The town officials, loaded down with
badges, banners and self-importance,
bobbed about for a short time, getting
in a word now and then between the
noisy demonstrations of the assem-
blage; then the leading feature of the
programme was introduced in the per-
son of Maj. Benjamin Belcher.
With bulging brow barred to the blaz-
ing sun the major struck an attitude on
the platform. It was the only thing he
hadeversTuck, mOstlikely, but he knew
how to 90 it with all the frills. and as
he stood surveying the crowd before be
ginning his speech he looked an orator
BETTING the occasion.
"FellOw-citizens, patriots and Amer
icans!" he began. "On this the natal
day of our grand nation we meet to give
utterance to our sincere and unbounded
love for the greatest and grandest ma
ton on earth!" Bang! bang! rip-rat-
tlety bang! went the fireworks. J
"Ahemi We, ali, ahem! We
(Bang-bang-bangety-bang! went the
guns, crackers and torpedoes) eve,
an, ahem! We assemble to-day to-
(Hoorayl hooray! fzz-bang! rattlety-
bang!( I'VE assemble to" Grip!
roar! boom! bangD
The major broke of short just there,
and jumping upon a table be fairly
screamed;
"Men Of America! Johnny has got
his gun to-day and he is using it for all
he is worth, and there's no use trying 10
stop him, 50 let him ripl In the inter
ests Of pure American patriotism, IN
alleged love of mischief and general
cussedness, l forego the honor of adj
dressing you and proceed to partici-
pate in the prevailing pandemonium! "
Then leaping into the midst Of the up
roarious mob the major drew from his
hip pocket a young cannon which he
turned loose at the heavens, causing all
previous noises made to dwindle into
utter insignifcance.
This was the wind-up, and the ey-
ereises terminated there and then. The
major got in with a gang who were
ont for a time, and that was the last
seen of him for a week. But hisspeeeh,
what there was of If. made a decided
hit, and for a long time afteFward the
people Of CaetUsYilie referred TO the
major as Johnny and his gun.

MAJ. BEbCHER'S GRAFTON.
BY FRANK B. WEIGH.

It was ali fixed at Cactusville that
there was to be a big blowout on the
Fourth, and the eastern element was
in high feather over the prospective
celebration. The old residents didn't
care much for burning powder and
waving flags, but the tenderfeet were
right in for a good old-fashioned fare
up, such as they used to have back in
the States" Foremost among the
enthusiasts on patriotism was Mai.
Belcher, an old California volunteer,
who was always on hand for Decoration
day parades and celebrations of ali
kinds wherein his old army badge and
blue could be shown up. Twas said
Of him (sub-rosa, Of course) that he
had never smelled powder on any other
than peaceful patriotic occasions, but
there was no gainsaying that "the
lnajah" was every inch soldier. AS
tall1er the major was a general
ly acknowledged and hard-to-down
''stayer." He would drop into the gen
cral store (where there was a wet goods
Department., perch himself on barrel
head and talk everybody sick, hungry
and tired who came in throughout the
whole day. His reputation as a tongue
singer was well earned, and the leading
spirits in the coming festivities got
their heads together and resolved to
give the major chance to "sheot off
his mouth" in public. In other words,
he was to be invited to give an grafton
on "The Nations Natal Day" at the
Fourth of July doings.
The word went around that Mai,
Belcher had been selected as the orator
for the momentous occasion, and the
air of dignity which that celebrity sud
denly acquired was, to say the least,
impressive. He forsook the barrel
head for q carpenters bench in a barn,
and for several days preceding the
great event he, at regular intervals,
poured forth his eloquence upon the
solitary cow that occupied the struc-
tuTe, wringing from the poor prisoner
an occasional plaintive 'Mo-o-o," by
way of protest.
The Fourth broke bright and beauti-
full; and Cactusville was up early. The

pearance, that wherever he rode among
troops that were not constantly with
him long and succeeding cheers fol-
lowed him down the lines.
When upon going into camp at any
time rabbit, or ever so many rabbits,
were started from their hiding places,
the soldiers. cheering as if they were
making charge, would chase Mr.. Rab-
bit by battalions, until often that
proverbial sage and strategist of the
animals would stop, overwhelmed by
fright, and allow himself to be picked
up, just as "Brer Fox" took him from
the sticky embrace Of hte Tar Baby"
This explains the division generals
reply to the governor as to Rousseau
OF rabbit"
The applause during Garfeld's
Fourth of July Grafton was such cheers
as those for Rousseau and the rabbit,
blended, with an extra volume thrown
IN, and those cheers seemed to follow
aim, as they did Rousseau and the rab-
bit, wherever he appeared during the re-
mainder of his stay in the army.
Private Brock, of the Kentucky in
fantry, had been generally considered
ditildent man by his comrades; one
who would rather face a battery Of artil-
lery that was throwing chain-shot and
shrapnel from short range than to APP
preach woman or a great man.
But Gen. Garfeld's Fourth of July
speech enthused Brock to such a degree
that he threw off all the trammels OF
restraint, and, watching his oppOrtun-
ity, approached the orator-general at
his first opportunity, when the latter
had descended from the stand. to offer
his congratulations in his OWL Private
Brock way.
The young brigadier was about to
mount his spirited charger to ride to his
own camp. when the FESTIVE animal
gave leap. startled by the sudden
bursting forth Of the blasts from full
brass handful as to members, as to
enthusiasm and as to liquid commits
sary stores, that had been given them
extra.
The brigadier's left foot was already
IN the stirrup and the leap of the horse
vas almost dragging him On the
ground. But Private Brock, who was
; powerful man, had caught the bride,
close 70 the cnrb-bit. with his left hand,
and with bis right canght also hegal-
lant olacer, and a painful fall to the lat
tet vas axertsd. while the horse was
brought TO sudden standstiA, almost
thrown upon his launches.
