SCARLET FEVER SETTLED IN
THE BACK.
An Operation Was Unsuccessfully
Performed.
The Patient Was Finally Restored, After
Eighteen Years.

From He Epent,ig Neus, Nepdrk, ~ j.
About eighteen years ago, when Mrs.
Annie Dale, OF 50 Bruce Street, was bright,
merry school girl, she was taken i'll with
scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was a
very different girl from o physical stand
point She was cured of the scarlet fever,
but 1t left her with an affection of the back.
AS she grew older the pain seemed to in
crease. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties. but she never COM
plained, and with one hand pressed tightly
to her back she did her work about her
cozy home.
81 was fourteen years old when was at
tackled with scarlet fever, and have now
suffered with my back for eighteen years.
"Night and day l suffered. 1t really
seemed as If I must succumb to the pain
and then to make matters worse my head
ached SO badly that 1 could scarcely see at
times. Finally I went toS st. Michaels Hos

formed difficult operation on my back, but
1t did no good: it was like everything else
Twas told at the hospital to return for an
other operation, but the first had left me SO
weak I could not go back. Then again I
had become discouraged and my three chill

thought would never know what it would
be like to be well again when l was told to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. With many
doubts, q faint heart and an aching back l
went to get the pills, and little dreaming
that they would prove the elixir of new

HE CLUBBED GEN. GRANT.
New York Has a Policeman Who Gave
Him a Deserved Punishment.

Him Deserved Punishment.
Once upon time Gen. Grant was
leaten. He was beaten in less than half
a minute, and he made no attempt to
fight back. AS Il result of this beat
ing there is to-day in New York Il
trembling policeman, and here is the
story of the affair. jacob Riis tells it.
When it happened he was II reporter.
"The Masonic temple was on fire."
says MIR. Riis. "The temple is Oh the corr
ncr of Twenty-Third street and Sixth
avenue, and the fire happened more
than ten years ago. The fire lines were
formed, snow was falling and the police
were out of temper. Along from the
the Fifth Avenue hotel there came II
small man, with his hands in his pock
cts and big cigar sticking cut of the
corner of his mouth. He did not notice
the fire lines or anything, but walked
straight ahead with his head down. lie
ran into the arms of bIg policeman
who had tired himself pushing people
back. Blank, blank. blank.' said the
policeman, do you take me for wood-
tn Indian" Without waiting for an AL.
swer. the policeman seized the small
man by the collar and. with few more
blanks, brought his club with loul
whack across the small mans back b..
low the waist. The small man said ret
a word. barely looked up and resumed
his walk, with his hands still in his
pockets. l said to the policeman. whom
l knew: Great Heavens, man. do yCu
know what you've done? Do You know
who that was you clubhed?' Nav,
said the policeman. L don't Well l.
said, its Gen. Grant and his face fell
almost a foot"
The man who dubbed cid Gen. Grant
is still on the force, and Mr.. Ills kno:rs
him. At present Gen. Grants son is Il
police commissioner with the power of
blighting policemen's lives. The police.
man who dubbed the commissioner 5
father is now wondering and trembling
as he wonders whether by any chance
his name or number was handed dow II
in the Grant family. He need not won-
der. for it was not, and Mr.. Riis does not
propose to tell who the policeman was.
Iesides, says Mr.. Riis, Gen. Grant set q
good example when he took his brief
clubbing like little man and walked
on without murmur. He knew that
he had run into sentry on duty AMI
was pleased to escape so easily. Gen.
Grants son would probably not take.
as calm view as Mr.. Riis does of Gen.
Grants clubbing, but it is not very like
ly that he would be very vengeful. Ea

OF NATIONAL INTEREST.
The Improvement of Roads Is by No
Means Local Issue.

Means q Local Issue.
There is not man, woman or child
III the land that has not personal
interest in the question of better roads.
There is no article produced. imported
or exported, the cost of which is not
in some degree affected by the char
acter of the common roads over which
it is transported from the field, the
mine, the mill or the shop to the user or
consumer, and the worse the roads over
which it is transported the less ii
yields the producer, and the more it
costs the user or consumer; and the
loss thus borne year after year by the
entire people of the nation is SO enor-
nous that it cannot be reasonably ap-
proXimnted. 1t costs less to transport
commodities across the continent by
rail, or from continent to continent by
water, than ii does over n single mile
of our common roads during nearly half
the year.

Attributes of q Good Farmer.

The Southern Farm Gazette asserts
that no man is good farmer who does
not at least maintain year in and year
out the average productiveness and
fertility of his farming lands. 1t is
not hard thing to do this either for
any intelligent farmer. Little better
can be expected of an ignorant negro
tenant than to make il his invariable
rule to squeeze out of the soil all that
the soil will bear, paying back nothing
in the way OF plant food for future
crops, practicing the plan of soil rob-
berry as a matter of course, but we
surely expect better things of intclli'
gent white farmers and land owners.
