and everybody who saw me thought surely
that would die, and there seemed no help
for me.
"Tonics and stimulunts and medicines all
seemed useless, and grew worse and worse
until at last resolved to seek some new
remedy - one entirely out Of the usual line
Of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which
seemed to take away what little relish

A friend told me Of some wonderful cures

Pale People and bought box. The effect
from their use was noticeable from the first
and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it
seemed pretty nearly like the raising of one

had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon
began to gain in flesh and strength. I went
one day to the doctors Office and he was sur
prised at the change in me for the better. I
had to confess that l had been taking the
pills, and he was broad-minded enough to
advise me to continue what was evidently
doing me so much good. I took. in all. six
boxes, and increased in weight frop 72 to
125 pounds, which is my regular and normal
weight"

with pistol shots; his warcry, whooping
clear above the music, fred the blood
with passion for splendid deeds, as
Coralie, laughing exultantly, crashed
through the paper hoops. We gripped

of the genus Polistes store up honey which
is poisonous, from the fact that II has been
collected from poisonous flowers. They
are found in South America, where also

Joe Patchen Makes a New
Worlds Record at Joliet.
Goes to a Four Wheel SuIky in
2:O2 ga.
Baltim ore ALL l-Americans Play a Good
Game at Peoria-Brown College
Astonishes the Yale Eleven.

Joliet, Oct. 21.-Without any prepara-
ton for such a trial. Joe Patchen, the
black pacing stallion, yesterday after
noon reduced the worlds pacing record
to a four wheeled suIlxy by nearly four
seconds.
Previous to this. about O'Clock, the
great son Of Patchen Wilkes had gone
a really remarkable mile in attempting
to beat his own record of 2:O114. Driven
by Atkinson, he went the circuit in
2;02A, lowering the Ingalls, park rec
ord. The time by quarters was: O:51A,
1:02, 1:321R 2:O2A Several watches
caught the time in 2:0215.
The horse was urged a. great deal in
this heat, but as he did not appear
again until 4 o'clock to make his trial
against the wagon, or four wheel Sulky
record, he was probably in well nigh
perfect condition for the latter trial.
The wind, too, had died down to al
most nothing, and but for the cold at
mOSphere and the horses unfamiliar
1ty with the vehicle, it being the first
time he had been hitched to a four
wheel Sull0y this year, the conditions
Tor great performance were prOpitiOuS
oscar AmeS was in the Sulky in place
of Atkinson, Owner Marks having made
a contract with the former trainer of
Colonel Taylor's horse during the after
noon.
After scoring once, Ames -signaIed for
the word, and away the big black went
with the magnificent stride now so fa-
miliar to the followers of the harness
horse in the vicinity of Chicago, and
with the running mate trailing a length
or two away. Ames rated his charge
splendidly, covering the first quarter in
O:321a, skimming along the back
stretch, with the stallion moving easily,
in O:31A- Around the far turn the PAGER
faced the breeze, whatever there was
of it, but it was here that Ames first
urged him, while the running mate, too,
drew along, and, responding to the call,
the noble Patchen sped over the third
quarter in 0:3012. 1t was now a fore
gone conclusion that the record would
be broken, and outbursts of applause
began before the horse was well
Strengthened out for home. Ames knew
the staying power of the horse, and
never relinquished urging him by voice
and an occasional sharp crack of the
whip. The result was the last quarter
was made in O:3O4, the time of the
last half mile being 1:01A, and the
great PAGER finished strong and true,
nearly four seconds ahead of the rec
