The Best Capital Punishment.

y story is told to the effect that one
of the wittiest ard best-known of our
literary women WAS once in the com
pany of a very sentimental and roman
tic but somewhat elderly lady. The
conversation. in which many of both
sexes joined. turned, as it often does
when the company is mixed upod love
and death. The question was mooted
as to what would be the pleasantest
manner in which to depart from this
planet, and the sentimental tea-gown-
ed lady said. as she tfuttered "a volume
of poetry on her knee: ITO be kiss
ed to death: that II the only poetic
death, more so even than the roses of
Heliogabalus. Very naturally a tit
ter passed round among the callers
and guests. but Mrs Dash put up her
eyeglasses and remarked in IA languid.
train-ante voice. y think it would be
somewhat difficult to find an eXecu-

minutes. The maj jor, although he had been
making short speeches throughout the day,

SEEING THE FUTURE.

A so-called magician in London has, been
coming money lately by showing people
pictures of their future life One strong
man saw himself depicted as an aged,
worn-out wreck of humanity, broken down
with care. A woman in robust health saw
herself transformed into gloomy invalid.
There was trick about it, of course, but
every visitor went away feeling heavy
hearted and despondent.
There are thousands of men and women
to-day who would be filed with similar
terror If they could only see the future in
store for them unless they do something
at once to prevent it. They are nervous,
weak. tired, languid, exhausted in nerve
power and physical strength. They are
sleepless. and awaken tired and unre-
freshed, without energy for the days
work.
When people gets to feeling like this it
plainly shows that their systems are badly
run down. These symptoms are the sure
signs of malaria, of debility, and the best
way to get rid of them is to take a pure,
medicinal stimulant which will build up
the strength. The best stimulant is pure
whisky, but it must be absolutely pure,
and there is only one whiskey-Duffy' S
pure malt-which fully answers this de-
scription. This whiskey drives out ma
laria, and builds up the whole system. 1t
makes weak, weary people strong and
well. All grocers and druggists keep Duff
fy's pure malt whiskey. There is no other
whiskey like Duffy's. and nothing else that
can possibly take its place.

Iowa Man Who Insults Old Glory Used

ragged Veteran.
Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov 2.-John Berlew,
an old soldier. shot repeatedly at an un-
known man this evening, killing the riders
horse and Wounding him, he thinks. The
provocation was the destruction Of a large
American flag with a Mckinley banner
hung at the Berlew home. The stranger
rode up and fired at the flag with a shot
gun. Berlew rushed out with two revolvers
and began firing. When a block away the
riders horse dropped and the man tried
to escape on foot. Berlew continued firing.
Once he saw the man put his hand with
a spasmodic action to his ear as If an angry
hornet was buzzing around that member.
Again he stumbled and almost fell. 1t is
certain this shot took effect. The man re-
covered, though. and never quit running
until he was out of sight. The horse was
found to have one of his hind legs broken.
The shotgun was found where it had fall
en-, several rods away. The shooting ere
ated intense excitement.
