little village, and has nice ways, but

CURE FOR ovERwoRKED MEN.
Neglect Aggrayates all the Ills that
Flesh is Heir to.


Neglect Aggravates all the Ills that
Flesh is Heir to.
Men walk the streets, sit at their
desks, seek pleasure in theaters,
with friends and sit in their family
circles, accompanied all the while by
an invisible companion-death. They
feel the touch of their grim compan-
ion, but do not recognize his presence.
They know that they are failing in
strength, and that their nerves are
becoming shattered. They say that
they will take vacation after awhile
and recuperate. When at last the
time comes when they must turn
aside from work and rest, they find
that they have deceived themselves.
Almost too late they learn what they
should have done. BY their delay
they have thrown upon DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery the duty of
curing when it might have prevented
a total collapse If it had been resorted
to earlier.
A man has a little trouble with his
head, his stomach, his nerves-he
doesn't sleep or feel well, but he pays
no attention to it. What he needs is
tonic, something to build up the
nerves and purify the blood. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
said to be the most wonderful
health maker known to the world of
medical science. 1t begins on the di-
gestion; sharpens and strengthens
the appetite-helps to digest the food.
makes it easily assimilable and puts
blood-purifying properties into it. 1t
sends strong, healthy blood through
every fiber of the body and puts a
protecting cushion of flesh around the
abused nerves. 1t builds up and in,
vigorates the whole system, and
brings the sound, healthful, restful
sleep that nature intended.
Many men of sedentary habits be-
come constipated. They soon become
listless, sallow and bilious, and con-
tlnually suffer from headaches and
heartburns, and are unfit for business
or pleasure. The cure for this is
found in DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
let's, tiny sugar-coated granules, one of
which acts as a gentle laxative, and
two as a mild cathartic They never
cause pain or grippe.
The remedies which DR.. Pierce
used with such success in his own
practice in the Invalid's Hotel and
Surgical Institute in Buffalo, n. Y,
are now owned by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, Buffalo,
n. Y, and are soldd by every first
class drug store in the country. No
honest dealer will urge upon you sub
stitutes for these world-famed rem
edies.

MUSIC THAT REACHES OUT.

There is more recompense even in
pain that attends the living Of colorless
lives There Is story of how a visitor
to Amsterdam, wishing to hear the
wonderful music of the chimes Of st.
Nicholas, went UP in the tower of the
church to hear it, and there he found a
man with wooden gloves on his hands
pounding the keyboard. 1t was all
harsh and discordant when heard so
close by, yet all the while floating over
the city were strains of enchanting
music. People in their homes were
thrilled by wonderful bell notes that
fell from the tower. So it is in life.
There are many sweet souls shut in to
pain and sorrow and others whose days
are filled with dull, monotonous labor.

reaches out and touches with it's sweet
ness other lives; music that comes from
their patient hammering away with
wooden gloves. on noisy keys that seem

much of sunshine, so smooth path,
that they will forget all the past in a
present liss-Philadelphia Times.

ITO Chapel Street.
TO PROTECT WILLS.
ITO Chapel Street

A Connecticut Judges Plan For Carry
ing Out a Testator's Wishes.
The only practical and simple scheme
for the prevention of attacks on wills
is that proposed by Judge John H.
White of Hartford and defeated by the
legislature of 1896 It provides that
every person on making a will may de-
posit it with legal officer who shall
give notice that a will has been SO
offered, and that all who wish to attack
the capacity of the testator shall have
certain time in which to offer evidence
and bring the matter to a decision. If
no objection to the testator's capacity
is made within the time specified the
will cannot be attached on that ground
after his death
The contents of the will are not dis
closed even to Its custodian. No one
has any ground to attack it because he
is left out or gets less than he thinks
he should have. Evidently people will
think twice about attacking the tes-
tamentary capacity of a man who is
there to defend himself, especially when
LH6y are uncertain NOW he HIS utNlSGl
his property and may be biting off their
own noses. AS Mr.. SWiveller remarked
about the rooms at Bevis Marks. ''The
contingent advantages are extraor-
| dinary' Under this law there would
| be no premium on will breaking.
The proposed law does not require
any one to desposit his will. 1t merely
gives to every person an opportunity to
make sure that his intentions regarding
his property shall be carried out and a
growing scandal diminished.
| Another idea is that the legislature
pass an act directing the judge in his
charge to the jury, in cases of will con-
tests, to instruct them as to the weight
of evidence and the verdict that is
| demanded by the law These will eases
present questions of law about which
the Judge knows more than the jury,
and we can conceive of no more infam-
Gus practice than hat Of breaking a will
on technical points when the intent of
the testator is clear. Something should
technical points when the intent OF
the tesator is clear Something should
be done to stop this continued and
growing raid upon wills.--Hartford
