From tie EcpuD'tcan,youraa!, o9acnsourg, NJ Y

A letter was lately received at the oEco OF
the RpH6iicdH-,j0WW0i from Hammond 10
the effect that the cure Of an extraordinary
severe case of ST. Vius' dance hal been
effected on the person Of li,tle Stanley Nic!.ci,
the eght-yCar-pld son of Mrs. Charles Nichol
Of that village.
=, reporter was accordingly dispatched in
that direction who, after some inquiry, found
Mrs. Nichols residence about Il milo outside
the village. Mrs. NichOl said
49, a liule over year ago ny boy, Stanley
NicAol, who is now Oaly eight years old
alarmed Inc one day by being taken with Il
slrlnge gurgling in his throat. Aftcr tio
hrSt the attacks became quite trelucnt.
Stanley did not complain of any pain, but
said that he could not help maxim; tho noise.
AT that time there was New York doctor
stopping in the village who was specialist
on lhroat and nasal diseases. ] took my son
to him aud nfcr careful examination he
sGid that there was nothing tho matter with
the boys throat. The gurg,ing in his opinion
was caused by Il nervous contraction of the
muscles of tde throat. lie asked who our
fnmilY physician was and Said That he would
consult with him before he prescribed

Here it goesl' whooped Howley
as he made swipe with his cane
and caught his only little son ter
rible whack On the shin.
The boy hoped about with the
injured member in the air, while his
shrieks filed the neighborhood with
alarm.
Howley was conducting the whole
campaign and yollel for his wife to
look out as he aimed another blow
that set the walls of the kitchen
dripping with the contents of the
milk pitcher She looked out by
leclrlossly falling backward over a
chair, taking the chair with her and
letting out screoch that fully ac-
counted for the lung power Of the
boy.
The next swing of the deadly cane
caught the big kitchen maid on the
crazy bone and she was about to re-
taliate with the poker when the
bowling epidemic seized her. She
dropped tho poker and made u stand
ing high jump to the top of the ta-
bic that would have gained her IA
vo. able mention in any amateur
contest. There she tucked her skirts
about her feet and shivered.
"Aha!" hissed Howloy eXultunt-
ly. "I've got him." And the man
OF the house made a lunging kick
that put his foot and most of his leg
through the lower panel Of the door.
His head smashed q crock, and from
the way he rubbed his scalp it il
only fair to the crock to call tho en-
counter a draw.
Thunder end Lightning" he
roared as the rat disappeared
through the new opening, "why
didn't you head him OFF,"
BUt the old reliable family cat
disposed of the invader as ho leaped
into the shed, and Mrs. ITowley had
few words with her husband for
rot having sense enough to let tho
cat in at frst. Detroit Free Press.

At Work Again,

A few applications Of Salvation Oil
will readily cure sprains and bruises,
and heal cuts, burns and scalds. It's
undoubtedly the best pain-cure on the
market, and should be, ready for use, in
every home in the land. Mr.. Frank
Stubenhaver 1887 Elm st., Dubuque,
Iowa, states 81 used Salvation Oil on
a sprained elbow, which threatened to
prevent me from working, and after
several thoroughrubbings, l awoko the
very next morning much relieved and
able to go to work. Had | not used
Salvation Oil L certainly would have
lost weeks work, which would have
amounted to many times the cost.of q
bottle of Oil. Everybody should keep
Salvation Oil in the house." 1t is sold
everywhere for only 25 cents.
