A Helpless Farmer.
William Simpson Stricken with Paralysis of His
Lower Limbs by Overwork.
From the Ne,c Era. Greensburg. Ind.

Many of our readers may remember an
item in this paper year ago last fall
which stated that Mr.. William Simpson,
a well-to-do farmer, living near Rugby,
Ind, had been stricken with paralysis of
the lower limbs, and his recovery was
doubtful.
The case which was an unusually severe
and complicated one has at last been en-
tirely cured, to the utmost surprise and
joy of Mr.. Simpson and his family.
Mr.. Simpson was pleased to relate to
a reporter the particulars regarding his
case, and his subsequent recovery.
ga year ago last fall, F" began Mr.. Stimp
son, IL did large amount of work My
hired help left me in the middle of corn
cutting and i finished the fall work my
self doing an unusual large amount OF
work. | put up several hundred shocks
of fodder. and also husked of my corn To
accomplish this / had to work early and
late.
about the first of December, as l was
getting my fall work about done, / suf-
fered a stroke of paralysis, which the
physician said was brought on by Excess
sive labor. My left limb was entirely
helpless and my right limb was fast be-
coming So My physician became un-
easy, and after attending upon me week
or so, he brought me box of DR.. Viii
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying
that he believed they would do me more
good than anything which he knew Of as
he had used them with great success in
case very similar to mine where all other
remedies had failed. The case in question
was that of L. Phillips, of Petersville.
About the time l began taking the
second box of these pills a decided change
was noticed, and when / had taken two
more boxes we discovered that was act
ually getting well. You can probably
imagine what a relief and feeling of glad
ness this was to me, after being confined

WHAT THE REGIMENT DID.

What is the use of having swords
and drums and guns and belts and SOL
der caps and flags if we don't have a
war;" said Billy Brown.
1--WE thought that myself" said
Johnny Jackson. The other boys had
all thought the same, it seems, when
they compared notes.
II don't think real one would be
nice," said Sandy Stevens. 1--WE might
get killed, and then our mothers would
make fuss; but I'd like just make
believe war. The boys over the hill
might be the other side il they had uni.
forms, and would fight"
They'd fight fast enough" Maurice
Martin said. "But they'd make it a
real fight; they have no idea of fun"
Besides, said Sallie Martin, the only
girl present. I'VE are forbidden to play
with them. They throw stones at shop
windows and break the street lamps;
but tell you what we can do; we can
have procession"
I'VE boys could" said one Of the boys,
"Girls couldn't"
Eyes, she can-so therew said her
brother Maurice.
Eyes, l can. can be vivandiere," said
Sallie. II read a lovely story the other
day of girl who was vivandiere. She
went with the army everywhere. and
carried little barrel full of water, and
tin thing to drink out of. strapped on her
back; and when soldier was wounded
and fell down, she ran and gave him a
drink and did what she could for him
And one day she was wounded herself
and all the soldiers cried. And the EN-.
peror Napoleon gave her beautiful
cross and ribbon. I'll get my bicycle
cap and little red pail full of water
and tin cup, and be the vivandiere."
Everyone agreed to that, and prett.
soon the sound OF drum and whistle
made all the ladies who sat sewing a
their windows look into the villag,
street to see the procession.
The boys Strengthened themselves up
and kept step we'll. 1t was quite nic'
little drum crops; considering. One O
two ladies said "Why, the idea! A
little girl marching with the boys; tina
doesn't seem nice" But others whit
know the Martins, said, "Sallie ant
Maurice are twins; they always play to
gether"

rections, until had consumed nine boxes
of them, which completely cured me.

sign of the returning affliction and can
Pale People did me wonderful good and

To allay all doubt as to the truth of his
statement, Mr.. Simpson made out the fol-

Scarcely had he done so, when
Kent was outside the fence STOPPING
down just as he had done earlier in
the afternoon. He hurriedly felt
about for the tacks, and with a re-
lieved but puzzled face looked up to
see Amy quietly laughing at him as
she leaned over the fence.
"Kent Scovil, aren't you ashamed
of yourself'" she said severely. "You
can thank your lucky stars that you
have a sister who saved your new BIZ
cycle for you. l suppose you were
trying to get even with Cliff and
spoil the new wheel you thought was
his" and her lip curled in scorn.
81 never felt so mean in my life,
Amy, and if I'm ever guilty of such
a thing again, my name won't be
Kent Scovil. 'Twould have served
me right if the tires had been ruined
and nobody to thank but myself for
it. But where are they-the tacks, l
meant" asked Kent, earnestly.
"Safe under the piazza, I'm glad to
say" rejoined Amy. And you just
remember this little lesson, my son."
shaking a slender forefnger at him
gravely.
"You just better believe will"
was Kent's earnest reply as he low
ingly examined his new possession
and admired its shining parts, while
visions of his glory in the parade
next day foated through his mind,
and deep sense of gratitude that
his spirit of revenge had not shat
tered all these fair dreams, filled his
boyish heart.
"Catch me at any such mean tricks
again! The mean feeling is worse
than all the rest" he said to him

THE BoYLEss TOWN.
BY ROBERT GARRISON TONGUE.

A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise;
"The town would be so pleasant, you
know,
If only there were no boys.'
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then, of sudden, the town grew
still,
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to
meet
Was sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day
Why should they bark or leap9
There wasn't a whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only dull refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees:
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't messenger boy-not one
To speed as such messengers can;
If people wanted their errands done,
They sent for messenger
There was little, l ween, of frolic and
noise,
There was less of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town, since it lacked its boys,
Was the dreariest place on earth
The poor old woman began to weep
Then woke with sudden scream
<sDear me!' she cried; II have been
asleep;
And oh, what horrid dream!'
st. Nicholas.

Origin of the Word "Picnic.

1t isn't very old word, but it had it's
origin in very natural way People who
desired to go on an excursion to the woods
or to the fields made out list of articles
which they would need to take along. This
list was passed around, and each person
s.picked" out the name of the article she
would furnish, which was then "nicked"
off the list. Some witty man probably
allied the excursion picked -nicked, or
picking -nicking party. OF course it didn't
take long to get the word down to simple

"Too bad! Can't you borrow one

Kent looked up quickly.
"You did, Where under the can

"Don't know, but it was beauty.
Well, Pm sorry for you, old fellow,

self up into fever of indignation.
This Fourth of July parade had
been long talked of and planned for
by the Walton boys. 1t was the
twenty fifth birthday of the town,
and the day was to be celebrated
with grand procession of all the
societies in town, business firms,
school children, and last, but fore
most in the eyes of the boys, bicy-
Gle parade of all who cared to join it.
That his bicycle should be untitled
for use at just this time, was great
disappointment to Kent, and if Cliff
Lee was to lord it over him with a
brand new one-well, he'd see about
it. The more he thought about it the
worse he felt, and wild schemes of
revenge foated through his mind.
I'D like to take the starch out of
him." he muttered, hacking away at
the stick again. He'll be around
here before night, I'll bet, showing
off before me"
Suddenly he shut up his knife,
threw the stick away, and went into
the house. A little later he came
out with small paper package in
his hand. He glanced around to see
if anybody was in sight, then he
stopped down just outside the fence
and appeared to be planting some
thing. If so, it was new kind of
