Your CORRESPONDENT in an interview with
| Nr. John Mcmillan, who resides al st. John,
Kansas, elected the following Information
concerning the wonderful curative proper
ties contained IN DIR. Williams FINK Pi!ls.
Mr. Mcmillan said:
In the tall OF 1894, | with another man,
decided upon a hunting expedition INTO the
Indian Territory. Accordingly, we started
south late IN the fall. The weather was
damp snd cold, and we we're compelled to
sleep on the ground with nothing but tent
Tor protection. The exposure, coupled with
the bad water, which in that county con-
tains great quantity Of alkall and gypsum,
caused me to contract a bad case OF kidney
trouble and rheumatism, something | had
never known before. After remaining in
the Territory for several months and CON
tlnuing to grow worse, | concluded the best
thing for me to do was to come home, which
] proceeded to do, but | became worse.
Il tried several remedies without avail.
My nights were spent IN sleeplessness and
misery, and became convinced that must
have help Immediately. Some one told me
the benefits they had derived from DIR. VIII
lams' Pink Pills, and | determined to save,
them trial, which did, and / can truth
fully assert to you that their action was,
magical. From the first dose / commenced
.mproTrng and twas but short time until
all pain had left me, and | felt entirely well.
What Is more, | have never had recur-
renee OF my trouble from the time OF my re.
eovery until the present time. / can cer-,
tainy recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills
as one OF the best medicines on the market,
IL not the best"
In conclusion Mr. Mcmillan asked us il

HAD NO NEED TO WORRY.
Chloride of Iron Had No Terror tn
Old AuntIe johnson.

He is a young physician, who has been in
practice but TWO years. He lives in a town
in central Illinois, where practice is fairly
good, and has his share OF patients. One OF
these happens to be an elderly colored WON
an whose name is johnson. She is long past
the time when she should work, for white
wool has taken the place of the southdown
covering nature originally endowed her
with. Her husband and herself were slaves
before the war. Now it happened that
"Auntie" johnson acquired an acute case
OF tonsilitis So she sent old man johnson
out to get doctor.
johnson performed his mission by bring
ing the young doctor back with him. The
doctor has had experience with eolored peo
pie and was prepared for almost anything
that might happen. He made the proper
examination and finding the glands badly

He made the mixture ON the spot and then
handed the bottle to the old woman re-

liquid suspiciously
Never you mind about that" said the
doctor. you mind what / tell you and it
will be all right. Now. want you to
wash your throat with this and be careful
after using 1t to rinse YOUR mouth out well.
Ii you don't it will spoil your teeth
The old woman tossed her head back and
broke out into the most uproarious laughter.
Her huge frame shook and twisted with her
mirth. She was eonvulsed 5ith mirth. Her
husband stood on one foot and the other,
watching his spouse with increasing anxiety.
Then he took . birdlike squint at the doctor
and finally blurted out:

Encoar.sinK stars.t,c,.:

The Baltimore and Ohio officials are very
much pleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared OF the per.
formance of freight trains on the Second
division, which Handles all the east and
west bound traffic between baltimore and
Cumberland Before the new freight en-
gines were purchased and the improvements
made in the track in the way OF straigaten-
iag curves and reducing grades, the average
number of cars TO the train was % L. Now,
with more powerful and modern motive
power and better track, the average Is 10
cars per train, an increase OF Al per cent.
Dhe average east-bound movement per day
for the first ten days OF August was l -l23
loaded cars. On the Third division, Cum
berland to Grafton, where there are grades
OF I25 feet to the mile, the engines used to
haul 10 l-2 loads u the train. Now the
average is % 90 loads per train, an increase
OF 81 per cent. 1t would certainly appear
that the money spent in improvements on
the b. and O. is being amply justified, and
that the cost of operation is being very ma.
tsrially reduced.

brilliant Belts.

A new belt for slender person is
of violet velvet embroidered in gold, in
delicate traceries. The buckle is gold
embossed with purple and gold, in lilac
and leaves. Velvet belts are always
pretty. but they should be worn only by
slender figures, as they certainly in
crease the size of the waist. A plain
leather belt can have buckle so mag
niticent as to compensate for the plain
ness of the belt itself. One of them is
an immense gold buckle, with center
of amethyst. The buckle can initiate
an imaginary flower, with bud and
leaves in conventional design. These
buckles are oftentimes SO broad that no
jacket could possibly be worn over the
belt.-Leisure Hours.

a New cure for Brui.e..

Instead of having recourse to appli-
cations of tincture of arnica, spirits of
camphor, and to strong compression Of
the swelling, in the treatment of light
bruises, DR.. Auger prefers the use OF
olive oil. both in children and in adults.
He applies the oil freely to the confused
parts, and rubs the latter lightly with a
rag, absorbent Gotten, or with the
fingers, and covers the bruise with a
compress saturated with olive oil. The
author claims that this treatment gives
immediate relief, and that the forma-
tion of bloody protubernnce is often
prevented; while excoriations and
superficial wounds, which may be pres
ent, heal very rapidly.-Popular Sci
