He Was Too Law to Live.

One of the LATEST men Iowa has yet
produced died recently in the Fort
Madison p~enitentiary as a result of his
attempt to escape labor. A convict,
named Airport, several months ago cut
off one Of his fingers to keep from work
ing, but the injury soon healed and he
had to resume work again. Of late he
had worked but little, always being
done before noon, but he concluded he
would not work at all, and to keep
from it he inflicted an injury upon
himself which had a result more fatal
to him than he probably anticipated.
Recently to escape work he poured a
quantity Of very strong I've on his arm,
and the result was a sore as big as a
mans hand. But the I've was SO strong
that it ate it's way into the fish and
destroyed the blood vessels. The re-
suit was lockjaw, from which he died.

A Story that will Touch

From the Journal. Detroit. Mich.
A very grateful mother is Mrs. A. L.
Hardness, of 676 Grandy Avenue, De-
troit, for the wonderful cure which her
daughter has received by the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Said Mrs.
Hartness: Yes, my daughters life has
been saved by using Pink Pills, thanks
to a kind friend who recommended them
to me.
Blanche vas sick for over three
years. She had the care Of the best
physicians procurable. and no expense
or u was spared to give her relief.
She was so thin that she was fairly skin
and bones, her digestion was out Of
order and she had the most awful head
aches. We ave up all hope Of her re-
covery. Her long, thin, listless face
made me nearly half crazy, and we did
every thing in our power to give her
strength n induce her to a an in
terest in anything.
One day a friend told me about the
Pink Pills, and Mr.. Hardness went down
town and got three boxes. She had
taken about one box, when, to my
amazement, one morning l heard her
playing on the piano. l could hardly be-
lleve it, for it had been over a year
since the piano a been opened.
Soon she began to take short rides
OH Hef bicycle, ana soon she went sing
ing around the house, our own happy,
hearty little daughter once more.
She thinks nothing Of a spin on her
wheel over to Mt. Clemens or Pontiac.
and is as we'll as she ever was.
II had a girl living at our house who
was a great sufferer from impoverished
blood, n who received instant and
permanent relief from he use Of one
box Of the pills.
IF this information can be Of any use
to help some poor sick one, it is given
with the greatest of pleasure"
The proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills state that they are not a patent
medicine but a prescription used for
many years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re-
suits with them, curing all forms Of
weakness arising from a watery con-
dition of the blood or shattered nerves
two fruitful causes Of almost every i'll
to which flesh is heir. They are entirely
harmless and can be given to weak and
sickly children with the greatest good
and without the slightest danger. Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt Of price, 20
cents a box. or six boxes for 81. 5O-by

SS0ry AlIustrattng b ChaTnctoT Of the
Late WAllam4 n. English.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel:
Those who remember the failure Of the
Ritzinger bank in this city will recall
the nervous fever Of .mistrust which
went abroad in the community and
which within a brief space of time after
That bank closed its doors led to an In
clplent run on the Fletchers'. bank,
which movement momentarily grew in
proportion until early one morning a
line OF depositors reaching nearly from
the latter banking institution to Merid-
ian street was waiting for the Fletchers
to open their doors to begin the presen-
tatlon of checks and the demand for
deposits. 1t was then that the sturdy
character of Mr.. English asserted itself;
1t was at that momentous hour that he
proved himself equal to a trying emer-
gency. On his way to his own bank he
noticed the knots of men gathered in
tho vicinity of Fletchers' bank and saw
the lire forming toward the entrance.
There were business men in the line
who knew Mr.. English we'll and there
was not II who did not know that his
word was as good as his bond. With
out a moments hesitation he forced his
rugged form through the crowd and
%stationing himself at the very doors of
the Fletchers' bank began the self-im-
posed duty OF stopping that senseless
run AS fast as men could come to
the door he would ask them if they had
doubts OF the safety of their deposits
with the FIetchers. He gave them as
surance that there was not at that time
a more thoroughly solvent banking in
stitution in all the state of Indiana than
the bank upon which they were precipi-
tating a run without reason, and to each
individual he said: eff you think your
money is likely to be lost let me en-
dorse that check and then take it to my
bank. 1 will take all of that kind of
paper that can be brought to me-"
Within the hour William H. English
thus soothed the ~anxieties of the de-
posters and when the word went out
that he had given his assurance that the
BANK was safe men went to their places
OF business or labor and a perfect quiet
was restored. His name had been
placed on nearly $50, 900 of the paper of
depositors Of the Fletcher bank.

Caterpillar Nests in Winter.

In early autumn the tent caterpillar
moth lays a cluster of 200 or 300 eggs
in a circle around the twigs of apple
and other trees and covers them with
a glue-like secretion that protects them
until they hatch in the following
spring. In the bright days of winter,
while the branches are bare, these clus-
tiers car be easily seen and should be
removed and destroyed Exchange.

Brilliant In Daylight.

A daylight meteor was seen recently
near Ayrshire, Scotland. Its move
ment was very slow and it shown with
q brilliant, intense light which was
concentrated in itself and did not leave
a train behind it. It got gradually
smaller and smaller, and just before
disappearing broke into three or four
p~ear-shaped portions. During it's
course, although the massy head was
always brilliantly white, the little tail
varied in hue, crimson and rich ultra
marine blue being most noticeable.

SCHOMEURGk LINE.
The Botanist Who Drew the Boundar,
Once Lived in

Once Lived in Richmond.
An interesting fact in connection
with the famous Schomburgk line,
which has escaped observation, is that
the man who provided the British
government with that boundary came
to this country from Germany when he
was Fl years old and after working for
some time as a clerk in Boston and
Philadelphia became a partner in a
Richmond (Va.) tobacco mandatory in
1928.
The factory was burned and Schom-
burgk drifted to the West Indies,
where after unsuccessful ventures his
botanical works attracted the atten-
ton of the London Geographical So
ciety, and ne secured means to explore
the unknown region Of the Orinoco,
where he Travelled from 1888 to 1899,
and discovered the Victoria Regina lily
and numerous other plants. This work
led the British government to commits
sion him to suggest a boundary be-
tween Venezuela and Guiana and to
make further explorations. The line
was drawn and he was knighted by the
queen for his services. Schomburgk
until his death, in 1865, continued in
the British consular service, but de-
voted himself chiefly to geographical
studies, being a member of the princi-
pal American and European learned
societies.
