READ WHAT THE PROBATE COM
MISSIONER OF MARION COUNTY HAS
TO SAY OF THE TRUST COMPANY's
WORK:
From an experience of six years as Pro-
bate Commissioner of this county, and from
practical knowledge of the workings of our
local trust companies. ] am satisfied that,
as rule. they are preferable to individuals
in the administration of estates or other
trusts incident thereto. = no instance has
there been any loss or impairment of trust
property committed to their charge; they
have discharged their duties with prudence
and strict economy and promptly complied
with every requirement of the law and ev-
cry order of the court.
II have yet to hear of any trust admins
tered by them, where the court, or the
beneficiaries Of the trust estate, found any
cause for complaint.

The Calf Path.

One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home, as good calves should
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then 200 years have fled,
And, | infer, the calf Is dead.
Rut still he lett behind his trail,
And thereby hangs a mortal tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By a lone dog that passed that way.
And then n wise bell sheep
pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
As good bell-wethers always do.
And from that day, DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods a path was made,
And many men wound in and out,
And logged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words OF righteous wrath,
BECAUSE twas such q crooked path;
But still they folio wed-do not laugh
The first migration Of that calf.
And through this winding woodway stalked
Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became a lane,
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became q road,
Where many a poor horse. with his load,
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one.
And thus a century and a half
They trod the footsteps OF that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road became q village street,
And thus, before men were aware,
A city's crowded throughfare,
And soon the central street was this
OF a removed metropolis.
And men two centuries and a half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf;
Each day a hundred thousand rout
wed the Zigzag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead.

nICHAEL, KING A-WHEEL.
Great Benefit He Has Received from Palne's
Celery Compound.

Great Benefit He Has Received from Paine's
Celery Compound.
Invincible, peerless, wonderful is
Michael. When he races his chief COM
petitor is time, and when he crosses the
tape in his finishing sprint he leaves rec
ords as well as opponents behind him.
James Michael, the most wonderful
bicyclist Of the world, recommends all
wheelmen to take Paine's celery COM
pound.
Many a young person and hundreds of
older people who have determined to take
up bicy cling as a health. giving exercise
find themselves really lacking the proper
SNAP" or stamina to begin on. Their
bodily condition prevents so spirited ex-
ercise. Many who are really sick, who
have suffered from debility or wasting
diseases for a long time until they had
begun to think their troubles had be-
come chronic, as nothing gave them re-
lief, would turn to bicycling for relief,
but they find that this splendid exercise,
like any other, requires strength to I'M
dertake. The blood is out OF order, the
nerves are %deranged, and natures food
for both is needed.
All such persons will find to their i'm
mense Joy that Paine's celery compound
will make them well.
Michael has made cycle riding a careful
study, and is in a position to give excel
lent advice, not only to racing men, but
to wheelmen and people in general. In
reference to his own methods the follow
ing letter will interest everybody.
Boston, Mass, Feb. 21, 1897.
After the exertion of my record rides
while with the Morgan & Wright team
in the South last winter, during which l
lost somewhat in weight, on account Of
the unaccustomed climate, l was advised
to use Paine's celery compound. l am
pleased to say that it gave such satisfac-
ton that / was impelled to use it again
to brace up from the effects of the two
unusually rough ocean trips that l have
taken during the past month. | believe
that wheelmen who have to undergo the
hardships Of Circuit chasing will find
Paine's celery compound of assistance in
keeping up their physical tone.
JIMMIE MICHAEL.
Thousands need to take a remedy to
purify their blood, arouse the circulation
and counterfeit the facilitating effect of
combining work, worry and excitement.
The more intelligent portion of every
community are the ones who best recon-
mend Paine's celery compound. They
have looked into this great remedy, fol
lowed it's remarkable achievements in the
case of friends, neighbors and relatives.
and know what to expect from its use as
a nerve and brain strengthened and re-
storer and an ideal invigorator for a run
down system.

Sick-poison is a poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stomach
The stomach makes it out of undigested
food.
The blood gets it and taints the whole
body with it. That's the way oft.
The way to be rid Off is to look after
your digestion.
Ifyour food is all properly digested
there will none be left in the stomach to
make sick-poison out Of.
If your stomach is too weak to see to
this properly by itself, help it along with
a few doses Of Shaker Digestive Cordial
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a delicious
healthful, tonic cordial, made OF pure
medicinal plants, herbs and wine.

can take it's place in our home, as in it

The only thing that the King of Siam
and his suite find disagreeable in their
travels through Europe is the necessity
of early rising, which is imposed by the
programmes arranged for their entertain.
ment. Getting up carly is not a Siamese
custom. At the Court in Bangkok, es-
pecially, life is almost nocturnal. Even
in their European j%ourneyings the king
and the princes. except after some
specially fatiguing day of sightseeing,
work, talk, smoke and drink tea till an
early hour in the morning. Generally
they do not go to bed till 30 o'clock. Their
dislike to getting up at 8 is therefore ex-
plicable.
