They Are the Best When the Thoughts

A dozen or less newspaper men were
collected together. when somebody said
something about Rudyard Kipling. o.

other, "that he is the best paid writer
in the world at present. -
"The Pail Mall Gazette people say
they paid him $3.50 poem for all they
printed of his, !" ventured third.
"And why not?'' put In a fourth.
He is the best writer Of English prose
or verse now writing. That one line of
his, A rag and bone and a hank of
hair describing a vampire woman,

GOOD and strong" commented a
fifth, "but Kipling is not the only man
who has chosen monosyllables to give
emphatic expression to his thought If
you will remember, Pope in his essay
on Criticism remarked, And ten low
words oft creep in one dull line. and
before and after him there were others,
who, as he, were scarcely dull and sell

this. Take Watts in that we'll known

know that passage of Young's:
1.-THE bell strikes one. We take no note of time,
Save by it's loss, etc.
"Bailey's 'Festus,' that makes its
reader feel as if he had eaten of the in
sane root that takes the reason prisoner, ,
has many examples, and this one you
will recall:

The old man who looks out at the world
with clear and healthy eyes cannot help
feeling great qualification at the thought
that his children have inherited from him
no weakness nor tendency to disease
The healthy old man is the man who has
throughout bis life kept his digestion good
and his blood pure. Not one in thousand
does do it. Germs go through the healthy
body without effect Let them once find
Judgement or let them find a weak spot
they will develop by the million and the
blood will be full of them. Instead of
giving strength to the tissues. it will force
upon them innutritious matter, and the
man will lose flesh and the more suscep-
tible he is to disease. DR.. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery is the only medi-
cine that absolutely and infallibly cures
all blood diseases, and almost all diseases
are blood diseases. 1t is a medicine for
the whole body. 1t forces out all the
germs of disease, and replaces impurities
with rich. red blood

PHYSICIANS ORDER IT !!
A Remarkable Compound
that Really Cures.
Rheumatism. Neuralgia, and Dis
tressing Nervous Diseases.

Mount Holly Druggists say that It has
Stead y Increasing Sale
Physicians prescribe it'll
That is one of the several remarkable
things about Paine's celery compound
that distinguish it from other advertised
remedies.
Another noteworthy point about this
compound is that it was discovered by
Prof. Phelps, LII. D., of Dartmouth Col
lege, one of the ablest physicians and sur
geons of the country.
Prof Phelps was aided in this work by
Col. M. K. Paine, the well-kDown CON-
pounding chemist, and Paine's celery
compound took it's name from the latter.
The result of their labors was a scien-
tifc common sense remedy for those dis
eases and troubles that result from weak
ened nerves and overstrained mind. 1t
is not sarsaparilla, bitters, or mere stimu-
liant, but true food for the nerves and
brain, and is rightly regarded by both the
medical profession and the public as an
unequalled system regulator.
But perhaps the most remarkable feat
ure in connection with this compound is
th at its formula is freely furnished to rep
utable physicians, and for that reason,
perhaps, they have special confidence in
prescribing it. knowing it to be harmless,
as we'll as useful.
c.L .~o., a. IT, 7 II Honofnrd tho
well-known medical authority and inves-
tigator, Adm. Livezey, M. D., who is edi-
tor of several medical journals. and DR.. A.
w. K. Newton, the skillful surgeon, en-
dorse Paine's celery compound with words
of most positive praise, and prescribe it
for rheumatism, neuralgia, and all dis
eases that result from a weakened nd inn
poverished condition of the nerves and
blood.
INQUIRIES among the local drug trade
elicit the information that this compound
is meeting with an increasing sale and
that those of their customers who have
used it, are highly pleased with the re-
suits and invariably speak of it in the
highest terms.
It is particularly pleasing at this time
to know that there is remedy that cures
rheumatism, when the sufferer is within
reach of human aid. In two or three in
stances as the MOUNT HOLLY News man
learned from those who had used the COM
pound, the results were almost miracu-
lous, restoring to health men and women
who had been confined to the house for
months, and enabling them to walk with
ont the aid of crutches.

BUFFALO BILLS START.

Mere Accident Made the Well Known
Scout a Snowman.
An old Nebraskan was speaking Of
Buffalo Bill recently, and incidentally
he told how he came to engage in the
show business.
"Cody was for years government
scout ON the western plains," said the
Nebraska man, land it was when he
conducted the buffalo DISCRIMINATING ex-
petition for the entertainment of the
Grand Duke Alexis in 1871 think ii
was-that he got his name. Cody at
that time distinguished himself by the
number of buffaloes he killed, and there
by earned his oognomen, which was
given him by the duke. While he was
we'll known as scout, he would prob
ably have never been widely known as
Snowman except for an accident.
1t was in 1881 that the people Of
North Platte, Neb., near which town
was Cody's ranch, decided to celebrate
the Fourth Of July, and at the sugges-
ton of John Keith, who is a wealthy
ranchman at Sutherland and North
Platte and formerly claim adjuster Of
the Union Pacific, they selected wild
west show. Cody was one of the men
most prominently interested in the
scheme, and to him was left the work
Of securing the cowboys and Indians to
help out the show. In North Platte at
the time was an old stagecoach owned
by Jim Stephenson of Omaha, who was
the proprietor of the Deadwood- Sidney
and other western stage lines. At the
suggestion of Cody the Indians were to
attack the coach and be repulsed by the
cowboys and soldiers.
"That Fourth was the hottest cele-
bration Of American independence ever
seen in Nebraska. The Omaha papers
had men to cover it, and it attracted a
crowd from all parts of the west. The
programme which Cody and Keith ar
ranged included riding wild horses,
shooting, rope throwing and all the 9TH
er amusements and business proceedings
of western man.
"It was a few days after the enter
tainment, if such it may be called, that
Matt Keith, no relation of John, but an
old time western man, told Cody that it
was big thing and ought to be repeat
ed every Fourth of July. Cody at once
said that it was something new in
American entertainments, and he be-
lieved that by taking the aggregation
east he could make money. The matter
was discussed in North Platte, and
finally Cody said that he would adj
vance the money and start out. He did
80, and his success is we'll known.
"When he first started, he had but a
small show, but he has added to it. He
got with him Major Burke, Sherm Can
field Bill McCune, and last, but by no
means least, Nate Salisbury. There was
quartet that cannot be beat and with
Cody doomed the business. Bill has
made and spent dozen fortunes and is
today making money like cranberry
merchant. New York Press.

A Titled Costermonser.

An aristocratic costermonger is what
one would hardly expect to find in
Shoreditch, yet some years ago this was
favorite character of Lord Lonsdale.
It was no unusual thing for this eccen-
trio nobleman to lay aside his dinner
dress and robe himself in the corduroys
and colored handkerchief Of the coster,
and a capital coster he made, having a
pair of lungs like a couple of foghorns
and genius for acting the part which
was irresistible London Answers.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
Mr.. Wingleby Explains to George About
the Seasona.

the Seasons.
"You see, Georgia, y said Mr.. Win
gleby, whose youthful son had asked
him how we came to have different
kinds of weather, 'the weather Is put
up in tin cans, days weather to a
can, and usually they put up about a
years supply ahead, enough to last
through spring, summer, autumn and
winter. In filling the cans they sort il
all out as well as possible. Sometimes
when they get can full there may be a
little left over, and whatever remains
In this way they throw into one lot.
When they've got pretty nearly all the
cans full and the regular stock of wealth
er has run out, they fill up from that
lot of odds and ends. The cans so filled
contain what is called variable weather,
because it's mixed, but most Of the
weather they get pretty well sorted out
according to the season.
when they've got all the cans filled,
they stack 'em up where they'll be
handy to get at, and there's man that
does nothing but open them. Every day
he cuts q can and pours out the weather
for that day, and of course great deal
depends upon him. Sometimes this man
gets careless and pulls down a lot of the
wrong cans, getting them, say, from the
July shelf in the month of April and
likely rs not getting down a week 8
supply at once, so as to have them handy
on the opening table. OF course he dis
covers his mistake the first can he opens,
but he is too lazy to put the rest back.
and SO he keeps on then until he has
opened them all, and that's how it
comes about, as it sometimes does, that
we get hot spell at season when we
ought to have nothing but cool weather.
but of course those April cans are
not lost. They must be around some
where, and we get 'em later Maybe
the man will sprinkle them along with
the hope that we won't notice them
much, but as likely as not he opens
them one after another together, maybe
after some terribly hot spell in July or
August, when they are sure to be a
blessed relief, and if he does this we are
pretty apt to forgive him his mistake in
April. louisville Courier Journal.

DEAD BODY FOUND.

Chicago, March 26.-The headless
body of a man was found by the en-
ployes of the Dunning poor house,
while they were cleaning out a catch
basin on the poor house premises last
evening. From all appearances the
remains had been in the basin for
more than a year. 1t is thought that
the body was that of some inmate
of the poor house who wandered to the
spot and either committed suicide or
accidentally fell into the catch bas-
in. Time has rendered Identification
impossible. The fragments of cloth
ing indicated, the authorities said,
that the man was not a Dunning in
mate. An inquest was held and a
verdict of drowning was returned.
