Certainly you don't want to suffer
with dyspepsia, constipation, sick
headache, sallow skin and loss of ap-

Little Early Risers for these com
plants or you would have been cured.
They are small pills but great regula-
tors. .-BOschert & Williams.

Small precautions often prevent
great mischief. DeWitt's Little Ear
ly Risers are very small pills in size,
but are most effective in preventing
the most serious forms OF liver and
stomach troubles. They cure consti-
patton and headache, and regulate the
b0wels.-Boschert & Williams

The "BicyclisJ's Best Friend" is a
familiar name for DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salye, always ready for emergen-
cies. While specific for piles, it also
instantly relic Ies and cures cuts,
bruises, salt rheum, eczema and all
affections of the skin. 1t never fails.

To heal the broken and diseased tis,

The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1897-07-14

Says the Jacksonville (Fla.) Me-
tropolis: ''A few years ago the region
81 South Florida was one vast orange
grove The cold weather came and
swept away the beautiful aud prohta-
BILE trees. Now that section is a to-
bacco farm, and it promises to be more
remunerative than orange-growing. 1t
is not packing houses that we once
heafd SO much about being constructed,
lNt tobaeco houses to prepare the leaf
for HE market. 1t is said that where
iaefe is will there is a way, and this
seems to be true of Florida. If they
ctn't have one crop they can another.
The soil yields bountifully, and the
year 1897 is going to prove a success
VI one to the tobacco growers. Much
of the tobacco, it is asserted, will prove
the equal to that heretofore imported
from Cuba. In fact, many of the ma
tiyes of that island are now engaged in
the culture of the plant in the south
ern counties of this State. Calamities
come and calamities go, but the re-
sources of Florida go on forever, and a
baek-set does not discourage other
efforts TO retrieve losses. We should
be, if we are not, a happy people wher
there are so many opportunities to bl
happy presented

A DImculty in Tunnel Construction .

One of the greatest difficulties to
contend with in the construction Of
the Simplon tunnel will be the tempera-
ture. In the Gothard and Mont Gents
the maximum temperature was about
eighty-seven degrees. This entailed
much sickness among the workmen
owing to the defective ventilation. In
the case of the Simplon it is expected

The LoAElNc lime FoR ME.

I like TO stan around an talk when neigh

Or set down on a stump an' hear the robins
cheerin song;
like to lay down close beside the wlnder
In the loft,
An look of on the river when the wind Is
blowin soft.
Jes' now l sot vis'tin' long o. Hannah, on
the stoop,
Tallsin' about the purity way them weepin'
willers drooI-
Them little ones a-stanin' there on either
side the gate,
Like little tender gals that feel too shy to
look up straight.
But Hannah she was flyln' round, with
brush an broom an pan,
An says, "Why don't you go to work?
You're glttin' lazy, Danl'
But when | git my work all done, with lots
O. time to spare,
An Haunah's slicked tho kitchen up, an
sets a-sewin there,
alwiz feel 80 restless-llke, a-hankerin' for
chores,
With not soul a-stlrrin' an as stlll as
death outdoors;
An Hannahll say, NY sakes alivel why
don't you stop ID rest?"
But everything's so solemn that 1 can't II
be blestl
ltS In tneSe summer mornins, Wnen tne
work is piled IN stacks,
IN know I'd oughter tackle 1t with scythe
or hoe or axe,
Then's when feel like loafln' an like lollin
round spell,
When the posies are a-op'nin', an there's
such fresh'nin smell;
Before the day gifts drowsy, or the birds run
out of glee,
When everything Is lively-that's the loann'
time for mel
