He met Miss Tregnowan at the Sleeps

beauty. The girl was at that time en-
ployed in corset factory. Slaughter's q
father refused his consent because of his

Miss Tregnowan, taking advantage of
the fathers sudden visit to New York,

Governor Foster has appointed COM
mittee Of four, with A. Millssps Of Mon

tribution Of corn and other supplies in
the parts of north Louisiana stricken by
drought and authorized the committee
to draw on the state treasury to the

to st. Louis recently, arranged there for
the purchase of corn at cheap figure
and secured from the railroads reduced
rates ON all shipments of supplies.
The governor authorized the commit
tee to 90 ON with their work. The state
will pay the freight on the corn and sell
il at cost to the north Louisiana farm
ers, or give it to those who cannot afford
to pay. There are seven parishes affect
cd, and suboommittees in each will see
to the proper distribution Of the corn
and other supplies. The money set aside
for this purpose is the balance Of the di-

sometimes man 90 overflows with gem
erosity that he cannot rest until his die.
Covery is known to the world, In order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. Il e upon this princi-
pal that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires TO send free TO mankind prescrip..
ton which will cure them OF any form OF
nervous debility; relieves them OF all the
doubt and uncertainty which such men
are peculiarly liable to and restores the
organs to natural size and vieor. As Il
costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which Will
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence OF untold misery. As the remedy
In question was the result Of many yesrs'

remedy at once. A request to III. Q. Olds,

you are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use OF the medicine by giving It q
trial, will be answered promptly and with

from.
The prescription is sent free and al
