A PIONEER SHOEMAKER.
WORKING At HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH EGHTFFIVE YEARS old.
Mr. James McIen of Champaign Has Followed the SOemakeTs
Trade All His lfe-Ewy Day at His Bench Working with Appa
emily the Same WgOr as Young Man7A Sketch of tslife
From the Gazette. Champaign, III.

At the advanced age of eighty-fve years,
James McMillen, of 112 West Washington
street, is one of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is a pioneer
eitizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that Of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMIllen has fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he conn.,
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop on North Wright street
in the vicinity of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About a year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was
sufferer, but finally he appeared again AT
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account Of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again. and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount Of local inter-
est in his case, and reporter visited him,
to have him relate the story.
az feel" said the spry old gentleman,
"that owe my life to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Something like a
year ago it appeared to me that was almost
physical wreck | was suffering from a
disease of the kidneys. A thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and intlamed.
In fact they reached such condition that |
could not walk, and it looked as though my
days were numbered.
The silver state., 1897-07-16

81 read in the newspaper testimonials from
people who claimed to have been cured OF
kidney trouble by the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and thought that
il would do me no harm TO give them trial.
| bought box of them at the drug store and
began taking them according to directions.
1t may seem strange, but it is fact that
felt the benefit of them almost as soon as
began 10 take them. After | had taken n
few pills my urinal discharges became almost
as black as tar and ! noticed at the same
time that the pain and soreness were leav-
ing my kidneys.
"a few days later the swelling began TO 60
out of my ankles, and at the end of five
weeks il had entirely disappeared, taking
with it that terrible scurf which had formed
on the bottoms of my feet and caused me so
much trouble. | continued 10 gather my
lost strength, and at the end of six weeks
felt entirely recovered and resumed my work
at The shop. | think took from four TO five
boxes of the pillsand have taken none since.
Mr.. McMillen's residence on West Wash
ineton street. is more than mile distant
from his shop but nearly every day he walks
the entire distance, morning and evening,
and he could not do this II that swelling
still existed.
Mr. MeMillen has no backwardness in talk
ing of the merits Of Williams' Pink Pills.
E DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
contain all the elements necessary TO give
new life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves They are sold in boxes
(never in loose form, by the dozen or hum
dred) at 80 cents a box, or six boxes for $3.50,
and may be had Of all druggists or directly

A Kings Dwelling In Kentucky.

On one of the cross streets of quaint
old Bardstown, KY, stands two story,
weatherboarded log house, which has a
strange history. When Louis Philippe,
the unfortunate Bourbon King, was
driven from the throne in France he
fed over the seas and mountains to
Bardstown. He was Hospitality re-
ceived and was given a position in the
then fiourishing st. Joseph's College by
Bishop Flasot as instructor In the French
Language. During his stay in the town
he boarded at the log house, and some
Of the very old citizens distinctly re-
member him as sitting on the sidewalk
in the shade of the trees, discussing the
events of the day with knots of other
foreigners. of which there were many
in the town in those days. Louis never
forgot the friendship of the good Bishop
Flaget. and on his return to power and
his native land he presented the church
of st. Joseph with many rare and
valuable gifts, among them being the
bell and clock which are in IT'S cupelo
and proclaim the hour to the drowsy
village. But his most magnificent do
nation was the splendid altar piece,
1.-THE Crucifxion, painted by Van
Bri, the celebrated artist of Antwerp,
Belgium. This famous painting is
twenty one feet in height and twelve
feet wide, and is valued at 500, 900. 1t
was Louis Philippe who, years after
leaving Bardstown, in conversation with
Daniel Webster, dubbed the village the
Athens of the West, title which
clings to it, to some extent to this day.

1.-THE article in regard to Mississippi q
finance is correct statement of the Fl
nancial condition Of Mississippi. we are
at loss to know how any practical
buiness man, can possibly favor issuing
bonds Of the state to the extent $3.50, 900
or million dollars for the erection Of a
new capital building, ION account OF
state pride. The, day of reckoning
must come. If it is true as we have no
doubt, that the state is now spending
annually more than its revenues. where
is it to ends We have no right to make
debt for our children to pay to
build fine houses, What would be
thought of father, who on account of
family PRIDE would give his notes, Dor
money, and build a magnificent resi-
dence, trusting that his children would
meet the same. Would he not likely
lose his house, and also the love of his
childrenH And in that case the chill
dten would only lose the property Of the
father which with proper management
would have descended to them.
Our Legislators must have the nerve to
either reduce the present expenditures
or raise the taxes. 1t is cowardly to
contiue to issue bonds to even meet cur
rent expenses and thus inislead the peo-
pie The present enormous expendi-
ture Of money for our public schools Is
question that must also be met.

Development Of Lands.

Last week spoke of the advantage OF
good roads. I wish now to discuss
briefly the improvement of the country
from another standpoint. When farm
ers have markets for their produce and
roads to get to market, the next ques
ton that presents itself is, "How can
make more to SELF This calls for more
energy. more skill. The energy. will
not be lacking with men who have any
ambition, but the skill may be and of
ten is, lacking. Let it not be under
stood that am one of those men whose
only knowledge of farms and farming
comes from farming done on paper, for
! got my introduction to life, as well as
my full maturity on farm. But to the
question.
1t is evident to any observant man
that the lands in cultivation in this
country do not. yield what they might
and would if they were brought to the
state of fertility and cultivation of
which they are capable l have taken
some pains to inquire into the results of
a process of fertilizing in the reach of
every farmer.
AT Starkville | was informed by an
Englishman who had taken great inter
est in observing the methods and results
of the experiment station, that field of
one hundred acres, which fourteen
years ago was so poor that it was
thought scarce worth cultivatings last
year, by actual weight, produced one
hun AS .pf corn to the Tacre
Tisa5rao.h6 Of fertilizing was simply
by sowing peas and blowing under tbs,
vines at the proper time. Some may
object that that method will not suit
this or that land Granted. The same
shade and pattern of dress may not suit
two women of diverse build and com.
plexions, still I have no doubt that this
same process would greatly enhance the
yield of any land. If this is not best
some other fertilizer could be found
that would do by trying different things
on a small scale.
But fertilizers do not constitute the
only thing that needs to be looked after
not even the most necessary thing in
many, perhaps, the majority of in
stances in this country. l have not
seen a farm that l can recall, but needs
better cultivation. The hills are allowed
to wash, and the bottoms to overflow;
bitches are either not made at all, or are
insufficient. Often both cotton and
corn are half choked out by grass and
weeds. Intensive farming is the de.
mand. AS rule men try to cultivate
too much land. ANY farmer with q
wife and one child and an even start
sould live handsomely on an average
farm of twenty five acres. This coun-
try can and ought to support hundred
fold the population it has to day
