When business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night, where he Is
shattered of nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the floor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with a round turn.
If he does.not, it means nervous prostration
and mental, if not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make man of him
again. 1t is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t goes to the bottom of things.
1t searches out the first cause. When
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause the stomach the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots 1t promptly transforms weak stom-
ach into healthy one. 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. 1t gives
man appetite like boys. 1t invigor-
ates the liver. 1t fills the blood with the
e-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current and when it is filed with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make
we'll and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
fibers. 1t puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. 1t
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.
Nothing "just as good can be found at
medicine stores.

THE FUN FOUNDRY.
He Rose to Fame.


He was youth of studious brain. At school
he always led
In every branch he undertook, was always at
the head,
And oft his teachers said to him his brain
would yet expand
Till n the gilded halls Of fame he'd some day
proudly stand.
He'd read of opportunities out in the growing
west,
And felt that here his talents rare would
sparkle at their best,
And hither ON the wings of hope he proudly
plumed his flight,
Determined nc would reap rewards just sim
ply out Of sight.
A year passed by, and back he wrote that
honor wreathed his name;
That in the oratoric field he fast was gaining
fame;
That men in every walk of life came fiocking
up in herds
To listen to his gifted voice and hang upon his
words.
His parents showed that letter round the town
from dawn 10 dark.
and everybody said they knew that Tom
would make his mark,
Nor dreamed that he pursued the path Of fame

REAL FLYING SQUADRON
The Four American Liners, When
They Get Their Main Bate ies,

They Get Their Main Batteries.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-The auxil-
iary cruiser Harvard, formerly the

She has been engaged in scout work
in the Caribbean Sea with the ST.
Paul, the st. Louis and the Yale, and
like those vessels has returned to the
United States to receive her main bat
terry. which was not ready WREN the
Harvard was needed to watch for the
appearance of CeTvera's squadron
The Harvard now has battery of
four 6 Founders, and at Newport News
four mole 'of these and eight inch
guns will be installed, a formidable
armament for an auxiliary cruiser
What the Government intends to dc
with the four former American liners
has not been disclosed, but there is
some reason to believe that the forma
tion of flying Squadron, to be com
posed of these ships, has been decided
on. Certainly such plan has beer

troops were equipped and armed

which the Indiana troops carried

NORTH oARou1NA HISTORY.
Some Facts Not Well Known Outside
the State.

New York Herald
The people of North Carolina have
b. zen unfortunate i'm some respects
They have been but little addicted TO
boasting of their achievements
While other States have been CON
spicuous on gala days and in the
historical records OF the past the
people of North Carolina have, for
two hundred years, been making
history without seeking to blazon
forth their deeds to the world. Mr..
Bancroft, whose duties led him to
investigate the facts of North Care
lina's history, has recognized much
that the people OF this State have
accomplished in the cause of human
freedom and in the vindication ~
rights ever held dear by free born
citizens, and has, in bis immortal
pages, chronicled some of the events
that mark the advance of North
Carolina upon the highway of civil
liberty and religious development
But, unfortunately, the people in
this State have been so isolated from
the great centres, have had so little
! communication with the outside
world, have been so destitute of those
channels of intercourse that belong
to more favored sections, that the
great, important and uDquestioned
facts of their history are unknown TO
the people of other States While
the skirmishes of the New England
States are known and read OF all
men events of earlier and of quite as
significant character that happened
in North Carolina are only known to
gentlemen beyond it's borders, who
like the late Colonel Peter Force, OF
Washington, Mr.. Bancroft, President
Yelling and a few Others are fond o.
historical investigation or have been
led by some circumstance to explore
some of the partially known histori-
cal territory that belongs to thu.
people. In view of these facts i,
becomes an interesting question what
North Carolina claims and what ear
be established beyond all cavil oil
question? Briefly thus:
That the first Englishman who
ever planted foot on the American
continent landed on Roanoke IslanC
in the month of July, 1854.
That the first child born Of Eng
lish parents on American soil wa.
Virginia Dare, who was born Oh
Roanoke Island, in 1885, after whom
the county of Dare is named.
, That the first resistance to tn
stamp act was at Wilmington, N. e.
; in 1865.
That the first blood that was eve
, drawn In the defence OF the people
, rights and in resistance of tyranny
was at Alamance, on May l6, III
f That the first meeting that wa
J ever held in any of the colonies t,
declare separation from the Britis
command to organize for armed re-
sistance, was in North Carolina i
the county of Mecklenburg, in th
9 month of May, 1775-n nearly tiftee

Noted women and Marriage.

Noted women have shown no pre-

of their own. George Eliot was nearer
40 than 30 when she married for the
first time and close upon 60 when her
second marriage took place in 1880.
Charlotte Bronte, though she had sew

husband and even then only after
lengthy deliberation-until she was SO.

Certainly there is no sweeter creation

amply demonstrated that collegi-
ate education is not absolutely essen
tial for success in commercial life, it
is undisputed that an educated man
in any walk of life is better fitted to
command success and more likely to
do so than one who has not enjoyed
good educational advantages. Hor-

But the fact is there never was a

A Revival of ChivaIry.

The exploi5 of young Hobson and
the gallant fellows who accompanied
him on that perilous, almost fantas
tic, mission with the Merrimac,
deserves all the plaudits and con
gratulations it has received or can
receive. 1t was as brilliant an ex-
hibition of courage and devotion as
can be found in the annals of human
achievement. The TACT that nearly
every officer and man in the fleet was
willing if not anxious to undertake
the task detracts nothing from the
glory of those who were selected for
it. 1t proves only that a spirit OF
daring and self-sacrifice animates
the American naval service.
