When you realize that you are not the
man you should be at your age; when you
find your manly strength leaving you ex-
posing the waste that Is sapping the vital

your vigor, the sap and ginger that are
the characteristics of health in young men,
you begin to lose your hold in the world

look seriously to your health. You need
just such a remedy as DR.. Sanden's Elec-

energy from the toning and invigorating
current Of electricity that is given to the
body by
DIR. Samden's Electric Belt.

The skipper was a Rat.

The London Field tells this story:
"a rat was caught alive on board a
British naval vessel in trap, and the
beastwa thrown from the trap into
the water without being killed. A
large gull that was following in the
wake of the ship to pick up scraps OF
food thrown overheard by the steward,
stopped several times, endeavoring to
pick the rat up. Once the bird got
too close to the rats jaws and the
beast grabbed it by the neck. After
a short fight the rat succeeded in kill
ing the bird When the gull was
dead the rat scrambled upon the bird S
body, and, hosting one wing as sail
and using the other as rudder, sue
ceeded in steering for the shore.
Whether the rat reached shore or not
is question, since the ship soon got
out of sight of the skipper and its
craft"

PROBABLY A HOMICIDE.

A deplorable tragedy occurred in Rock
Hill last Saturday morning as the result
of a personal alteration between two
prominent citizenship. John Harvey
Neely, of Rock Hill, and Mr.. Sam M.
Neely, of Smiths Turnout. The first
named now lies at his home with every
muscle paralyzed, and apparently at the
very point of death, while the other is in
Jail awaiting developments.
The difficulty occurred in a little room
in the rear of Mr.. ]. b. Johnson's drug
store, and to all iutents and purposes
the participants were the only witnesses.
Mr.. Johnson, Mr.. r. NJ. Anderson, and
perhaps others, saw the two men talking ;
but were not paying any especial atten-
ton. Suddenly they heard heavy fall
and crashing of glass, and, rushing to
the spot, found Mr.. John Harvey Neely
on the floor with Mr. Sam Neely OH top
of him. No time was lost in pulling the
two men apart. John Harvey Neely was
unconscious at the time. His forehead
was badly larcerated by the glass OF Il
broken showcase and blood was flowing
from a small wound in the back OF his
neck. At first he appeared to be dead !;
