The Surprise Of All.

Mr.. James Jones, OF the drug firm of
Jones < Son, Cowden, Ill, in speaking
of Dr. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at COwden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed
to develop into Hasty Consumption.
Having Dr. Kings New Discovery in
store, and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and to the surprise of all
sne began to get better from first dose,
and half dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. DIR. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds is guaranteed to do this work.

Iron in the System.

Walker was one of those who did not
believe in doctors, and he never lost
an opportunity of having dig al them.
When he was brought home in a cab
with a broken leg aud the medical man
had to be sent for, Walker was mu ch
Inundated.
Rather serious" said the mlu Of
physie and fees, ''but you will get on if
you take care. I'll send you an iron
tonic"
Don't want itr' exclaimed the pa
tient, shortly. "Iron is no good"
Excuse me-" returned the doctor,
stifiy, ''iron is good for the system"
And as Walker doggedly repeated his
objection he continued with some
warmth:
at Is beyond all question, sir. In
whatever way iron enters the body it is
good, and it is a mistaken notion to say
that it makes a man irritable"
~ beg to differ most emphatically," "
retorted Walker, desperately, finding
himself driven into corner for an ar
gument. 81 say it causes irritability
and therefore isn't good, and if you
want proof just you sit dsNa on the
business end OF 4 tack.
Aud he fell back on the bed with
look of triumph.-Pearson's Weekly,

Sorry He Spoke

On one occasion when a well known
wit was listening to the band on the
pier at Brighton, some medical studeuts
who happened TO be there thought they
would have joke with him, and ae-
cordingly one of their number went up
with outstretched hand aud said:
"Ah. good morning, Mr.. How
do you do?"
II am quite well, thank you, " replied
lie, 'blt 1 really have not the honor of
your acquaintance" )"
"whatw said the student "You
don't know me? Why, met you at
the no."
Young man, accept my apologies
but really saw % many monkeys there
that it Is impossible for me to recognize
them all again"

Willow Farms.

In Europe the cultivation Of the will
low is in some localities quite an import
ant industry. In fact, il certain parts
Of France the farmers do not hesitate to
plant good wheat land in willow, aad
the crop grows without any attention,
a twiy planted in m)ist earth growing
up with great rapidity, aud the market
for tue article IS good. In the regions
Of La Tremblade and ArcaehOn there
are large plantations Of willows and
factories for the manufacture Of ro1gh
baskets for shipping various cOmmOd-
ities, these largely taking the place of
the barrels used 50 extensively in this
country. II Is in the Netherlands,
however, that the willow is most used.
Here it serves for baskets Of all kinds,
fences, cattle racks, wagons, wagon
tops, trunks and boxes. Even the sig
mails along the river are painted willow
wickerwOrk. The use of the willow for
breaking up tine course OF torrential
mountain streams and for use along riv-
er banks for holding the earth in place
is also very important in these count
ries.

TO Agent Perry of the CrueltyESooiety

had not blanketed their lhorses in cold
weather and that they: were as a result

yestigated the matter, notifying Mr..
Lawson, the local manager. The latter
said that he had no authority to make
purchases.

Mcguire of Richmond, Va, who has the
contract for carrying the mail in Portland.
Contractor Mcguire authorized Mr.. Per-
ry to go ahead and purchase as many
blankets as were needed for the horses
The S. P. G. A. agent complied and yes
terday received a check from Mr.. Mcguire
covering all expenses incurred. The
check was also! accompanied by note
thanking Agent Perry for the pains tax
