Worthy Your Confidence.

The success of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
conquering scrofula in whatever way
it may manifest itself is vouched for by
thousands who were severely afflicted
by this prevalent disease, but who now
rejoice over permanent cure by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Scrofula may appear as
hunlor, Or it may attack the glands of
the neck, or break out in dreadful run
ming sores on the body or limbs. At
tacking the mucous mcmbrance, it may
develop into catarrh or lodging in the
lnngs lead to consumption. Come as it
may, faithful course of treatment
with Hood S Sarsaparilla will overcome
it, for working upon the foundation of
all diseases, impure blood, the system
is clarified and vitalized, and vigor,
strength and health restored to the
body.

He had been wide awake ever since
a very early hour of that lovely June

He had never closed his bright eyes

A Story for tho Little Folks.

"A Story Tor the Little Folks
One day Donny's mother said to him:
"Your hair is too long, my boy. You
must go to the BARRIERS and have it
cut"
Denny was glad for he thought it
would be great fun. He walked into
the BARRIERS store, and when his turn
came the barber lifted him into a high
chair, in front of which was a looking
glass.
Now Denny had never had a really
good look at himself in a glass before.
S 10 he was very pleased to see the ref1ec-
ton Of his own face, and his first in
clination was to make a funny face at
himself, but the barber looked so cross
that he thought he had better not.
When he went home he ran up to his
mother and said:
ooh, mamma, I seed myself in the
glass;"
"Well, and what did you think of
yourself, Donny?"
"Why, l think I look just like a red
headed monkey" replied the boy, and
tlCu. dllc1 d Ol1lc . pduoC, uC ouuCu.
Mother. dear, I think I should like TO
be a barber when I'm a big man."
would you, my child, and why?"
asked his mother.
"Cause-'cause they have lots Of
FUN. There was a man lynn down in a
chair, and the barber painted his face
all over with white paint, and then took
a knife and scraped it off, and l should
love to do that"
His mother laughed and told him to
run up into the nursery and play with
his little sister.
Denny found his sister busy with
her dollies, and, after telling her all
about his visit to the BARRIERS, he
said:
"Baby, let's play barber shop"
"AI yite," said baby; for she always
did everything her brother told her to.
So Donny climbed up on a chair and
took down from a shelf a little can Of
white paint, which his big sister used
in painting frames. Then he took the
dollies, one by one, and covered their
faces with the paint. After that he
looked for something with which to
scrape the paint off and found a small
paper knife on the table. He scraped
and scraped, but could not get the paint
off, SO he said:
Never mind, baby; we'll take 'em
to the bar ber's when we go out, and
he'll shave them all right"
Baby did not say anything, but she
did not like the way Denny had disfg-
ured her little dolls.
Nov, baby" said Denny, make be-
lieve you are me coming to have your
hair cut" And he lifted her on to a
chair and looked all around for nurses
scissors, which he soon found. He
had just taken one of baby's long gold
en- curls in his hand, ready to cut it
off, when nurse INT into the room.
Denny hid behind a large armchair.
What have you been up to now?"
said his nurse; and when she saw what
he had done and how he had spattered
paint over everything, she took him
right down to his mother.
Donny had only dry bread for his
supper that night. and he had to go to
bed an hour earlier, but he never forgot
his first visit to the barber's.

very near causing her death. Robin
son was arrested and at a preliminary
hearing pleaded guilty to the charge.
He was taken to Union to Jail in de-

A FAMILY DIFFERENTIATED.
A Michigan Attorney Kills His Wife,
Three Children and himself.

PENTwATER, Mich, April Il When
neighbors went to the house of Ii. b.
Minchall, a local insurance agent and
attorney, this morning, they could
not get in. Officers were sent for and
broke in the door. Mrs. Minchall wa
found lying or the floor of the sitting
room with a bullet hole in her temple.
Near her was the dead body Of her
daughter Ruby, about 16 years old.
In the corner of the same room lay
Minchall, an empty revolver clutched
in his hand. He, too, was dead. In
an adjoining bedroom were found the
bodies of George, aged i, and his in
FAINT brother. They were in bed to-
gether, and death had evidently come
upon them while they slept.
The motive in Minchall's crime is
still a mystery, but it Is expected that
the inquest now in progress will clear
the matter up. Minchall came here
three years ago from Chicago.
