In the year 1868, ME-. j. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Linment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
Striving with ali his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paving business, and made the name cdr. Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toing and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
justice as to undertake to despol him OF his bus
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
"just as good as DR.. Ward's,'' frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
No. 1856.

The Harp of Brian Boru.

The sightseer in Dublin who fails to
visit Trinity college and spend a day
among the treasures preserved in the
great museum belonging to that in
stitution makes the mistake of his life.
In that museum there are hundreds Of
thousands Of relics, but the one in which
most people take the greatest interest is
the harp which once belonged to Brian
Boroihme, or Brian Boru, as he is most
commonly called. Brian Boru was the
Irish monarch who was killed in the
great battle at Clontarf in the year
1914 A. D. Brian left his harp and his
crown to his son Donagh, who succeed
ed as king. Soon after Donagh was de-
posed by a warlike nephew and was
forced to retire to Rome. He took his
fathers crown and harp with him, and
they were kept in the Vatican collection
for several centuries, the crown, which
is Of massive hammered gold, being still
numbered among the pope's treasures.
The harp, however, was sent to Henry
VIII, and he presented it to the first
earl Of Clanricarde. It was deposited in
the museum mentioned in the opening
in the year 1872. The harp is 80 inches
high and { good workmanship, the
carving on the oak frame being equal to
anything that could be done today. It
is well preserved and does not look to
be an instrument upward Of 1000 years
old. st. Louis Republic.

Fun Over the Bread.

We had the gantlet yet to run, as the
firing of the communists was still heavy
in the neighborhood. The bullets were
Whistling SO angrily down one Of the
streets which cut the Rue de la Bien-
faisance at right angles that a number
Of servant girls who wished to go to a
bakers shop on the other side were
afraid to venture over. The difficulty
was turned in this way: There were
soldiers on one side Of the dangerous
crossing and maidservants on the other.
The maidservants threw their money to
the soldiers, and the soldiers purchased
the bread and flung it across to the
maids
This maneuver excited good deal of
merriment in spite Of the danger with
which it was attended. At times girl
would throw q piece Of money short,
and a soldier would have to fish, for it
with his bayonet, and even, amid peals
Of laughter, venture out to pick it up.
To see the men and women engaged in
this occupation one might easily have
thought they were indulging in some
harmless pastime like hunt the slipper.

Hard to Wait.

''It is so hard to wait. -
She was but IS and betrothed. When
she was 20, they would let her, wed.
And so she stood by the window this
April day, the tears in her blue eyes.
1t is SO hard to wait, grandpa, she
said.
He was eighty and eight. Close to
the CRATE fire he sat and bleared into it's
depths.
ut is SO hard to wait, . he thought.
He had been waiting these many years,
yet God was not ready for him.
And as he looked into the fire he
smiled
The girl at the window sighed. Two
tears rolled slowly down her cheeks.
She looked at the hurrying world, at
the crowded street at her feet
The old man was content to look into
his fire. He had seen the hurrying
world.
The girl at the window watched a
busy wren building a nest. Again she
sighed. Down the street a hand organ
was playing waltz.
The tears started afresh in the young
girls eyes as she looked at the world
through her window.
And patient smile still played about
the face of the old man as he nodded at
the great fire.
cit is SO hard to wait, y he said soft
ly.

An Apology.

A man who has reputation for being
very careless as to his toilet was elected
town clerk in one Of the small towns in
his state some time ago, and the local
paper thought it would be good joke
to announce that
"Mr. Makeup will wash himself be-
fore he assumes the Office of town
clerk
On reading the notice Mr.. Makeup
was furious and demanded retraction,
which the paper accordingly made the
following day in this fashion:
Mr.. Makeup requests us to deny
that he will wash himself before he as
snmes the Office Of town clerk
And still Mr.. Makeup was not
pleased. How hard it is to satisfy some
people! Our Girls and Boys

Difference to the conclusion arrived at

one, however, would dream of contest
ing that to the Cymric branch of the
Celtic race we owe the origin Of the
Arthurian legend
We do NOT know whether it will be-
one OF the duties Of the Welsh university
to endeavor to revive the real, unadul-
terated Celtic literary traditions and to
purge and purify them from the accre-5
items due to foreign influence. We
should be disposed to say that Celtic
scholarship will be more beneficial and
more successfully employed in collect
ing the indications of the influence ex-
ercised BY the Celtic spirit over the
English Language, English romance and
English ways Of thought during the
very period when it was supposed to
have been depressed, if not wholly de-
stroyed. Criticism, too, will have album

prepared to challenge the assertion of
Renan that the sixth century was the
golden age Of Cymric literature, though
its first epoch is usually taken to start
from still remoter times and to extend
to the date of the Norman conquest,
but it is not till the chronicle of Cara
doc, somewhat dry record, recalling
in it's general scheme the more famous
Anglo Saxon chronicle. To the same pc
Rod belongs the chonicle Of Godfrey of
Monmouth. But, as though Welshman

BE Dr.. Jarnigan tells q story, and it, Is
out Of his own professional experience,
that has for its heroine woman who
did this bravely unselfish thing.
! Her husbands arm had been crushed
IN the machinery. The hard folds Of
muscle had been dattened, and the bone
had been crushed. The arm, bruised and
discolored, was bad enough to look upon.
but it gave no Indication Of the excru-
ciating torture Of pain the man had to
undergo. It was thought at first By the
doctors that his arm would have to come
off-the good right arm that supported
the brave wife who stood by his side
and the serious, anxious faced children
who stood looking on. He begged them
to save his arm, and his wife begged
them, and fortunately the condition Of
the case permitted them to-
But the arm did not heal. The skin
sloughed away from the wounded SUR
face and left it raw and sore The doc
tors saw that it was necessary to graft
portions of skin to the service to bring
about cure. They told the sick man
Of it, and they barred his side to cut off
the strips of skin to put over the raw
arm.
The blade flashed into the mans side,
the blood spurted out, and with moan
the man fell oyer in faint, sickened
by the pain. His wife had been watch
ing, her sympathetic heart touched to
|, its depths by the sight of her husband
suffering.
Doctor, don't do that again. she
begged. 3.Don't cut him any more. He
is too weak and has suffered too much.
Cut it off me. Won't that do?''
The doctors told her that it would.
She coolly barred her arm andtold them
she was ready. The razor edged blade
sank into the flesh and went ripping
down, followed by tiny fountain Of
blood. She did not vince. Dexterously,
expertly, the doctors slit out a piece of
skin and grated it over the man IS arm.
Another and another piece was cut out
until more than a dozen had been re-
moved, and all the while the Spartan
woman remained standing watching the
swift flash of the knife, the springing
of the warm blood and the sickening
spectacle without shrinking once
The husband g arm, grated over with
skin taken from his wife's arm, is now
we'll, and the arm Of the brave woman
is fast healing up, leaving many long
scars, that will ever bear evidence to
the heroism Of her ]ove.-Atlanta Con-

LIVER CLOGGlNG.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
LIVER SEE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

Not one person in a thousand knows that
the cause of biliousness is the clogging of
the liver by the poisons Of indigestion.
Nor that the only proper cure for it is a
tonic to aid the stomach But modern med
icine declares the truth of it. And the Shak-
ers have proved it by the wonderful sue
cess of their Shaker Digestive Cordial.
One of the most important uses of the
liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons
which try to find their way into the blood.
When it, Glogged it can't do this.
Uundigested food ferments and putrefes
in the stomach, and the poisons of putre-
faction clog and paralyze the liver, after
which they find their way into the blood,
Here is the true explanation of all the dis
tressing disorders and complications caused
by Indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in q natural
way to digest its food.
By this means, it cures indigestion, re-
stores the liver, and frees the body from
poison and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental
depression, weakness, bad taste, fever,
fiatulence, constipation, loss of appetite.
anaemia, rheumatism and many other dis
orders are relieved and cured by Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
