The Hon. c. H. Weltner, mayor OF Wells
vile, Mo-, has lately accomplished something
of which he might justly be proud. 1t is an
effort in the cause of suffering humanity and
one which, for nearly ten years, he has been
quietly trying to carry out.
Everyone in and around Wellsville knows
Mayor Weltner, and of his progressive bust
ness ability, which has made him leader in
various enterprises. 1t is this fact which
inspires confidence and the hearty support OF
citizens in his undertakings.
About ten years ago he appealed to the
best local physicians, as we'll as to number
of specialists, for relief from the dread dis
ease-catarrh, but his appeals were in vain; ;
the DOCTORS efforts were fruitless. The dis
ease. all the while, was fastening its clutches
frmer upon him and he was about to despair
of ever obtaining relief when DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended
and as a last resort he began their use, the
happy SEQUEL of which is that he now feels
like new man. 90,
Ct became aware about ten years ago." he
saws "ofthe fact that some disease was prey
ing upon me. The physician whom / con-
suited diagnosed my case as 'pharyngeal
catarrh' and prescribed for it.
"Instead of getting relief the disease had
a deeper hold upon my system.
81 sought other physicians, but their treat.
ment was unavailing. . I tried number of
catarrh remedies, but without obtaining any
relief to speak of, and had come to the con-
clusion that my case was incurable. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People were
recommended to me, and I concluded to give
them trial.

Il would earnestly insist that all whojars
similarly afflicted give these pills trial, H.

ing the eight years | was troubled with
the disease prior to, taking Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, l spent three
hundred dollars for medical aid which was
the same as thrown away, as no benefit was
derived.
"Now, the secret of these pills is that they
purify the blood, and, of course that will help
in any disease, They are the best blood pugsl-
fer ever used"
. The best authorities state that catarrh is q
blood disease acting upon the mucous surfaces-
of the system. 1t does not always commence
in the nose, but frequently starts in the
stomach or bowels with symptoms like dys.
pepsia, which many mistake for that disease.
This is because the blood is in such con-
dition as to irritate the stomach. It is awaste
of time and money besides harmful to uss
"snuffs" DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are composed of vegetable ingredients,
forming an internal remedy which acts d..
rectly on the blood ano mucous surfaces of the
system, cleansing it from impurities and
causing the diseased matter to pass through
the proper channels. The medical professions
recommends these pills and every druggist
sells them.

The Turkey Foot Charm.

The latest fad in mascots is the turkey
foot done in gold, silver and ribbons. The
most popular style at present is the natu-
raj claw, properly treated by taxider-
mist, it's shank covered by silver or gold
cap, set with an amethyst, turquoise Or
the new green stone which resembles an
emerald. The tip of the nail is covered
with a gold or silver cap, with fine chain
to match the cap from the shank to what
one might call the wrist of the claw, and
a pretty scarlet ribbon bow with long ends
is tied just below the ssank.
These new mascots are so arranged that
they can be hung up as ornaments or used
as paperweights Or table ornaments. In
one case l saw one profusely bejeweled,
which was intended for a cabinet. As
dress ornaments they are so far but little
used, though 1 was told they were being
fashioned into clasps for fastening golf
capes at the neck.
asked an old colored man if he had
ever heard of the turkeys claw as being
an unlucky Or lucky charm. -
"Why, yes," he replied. "Down south,
where come from, it is better and luckier
to steal your Thanksgiving or Christmas
turkey. I don't hold with the fashion Of
stealing anything, but if you can only
steal your turkey for the holiday dinner
you will have good luck all the rest of the
year. In the old days the 'massa' would
put away lot of turkeys, and the darkies
would go in the night, just at 10 O'Clock,
and steal the birds" ..s....>. w.
But what about the claws What good
luck does that bringp"
"Why, bless your heart, don't you know
that the turkeys foot is an awful lucky
thingp You must take the claw after you
have cleaned your turkey-a stolen one,
mind you-dip it in salt-bury it, you bet
ter say, in dish of salt-for whole week,
and let it lie there SO that all the bits Of
flesh which stick to it are cleaned away,
and your foot is just as sweet as a nut.
Then you take it out and scrape 1t and
clean it and polish it until it just shines
like piece of stone. Then you put it up
over your door, and no bad luck, sickness
or anything can come in during the year. "

The Intoxicated Turkey.

The opening ceremony of the festivities
connected with Thanksgiving day in New
York used to be making drunk the turkey
that was to be the most important feature
of the holiday feast. When the bird that
was to occupy the place Of honor on the ia
BILE had been selected. &was taken to one
corner of the farmyard, and a cup of
brandy was placed before it, The turkey
would drink this eagerly and would then
give first class exhibition of being on a
tear" of the funniest kind. He would
staggeringly strut up and down, his wings
trailing on the ground At one time he
would seem to look extremely wise and
then would appear to be overcome with
the hilarious aspect of his condition. In
the meantime the other fowls would look
on with gravity and wonder at the curious
capers of their companion as he toddled
around, sometimes gravely swinging his
head from side to side and sometimes lift
ing it high in the air.
All the members of the family and the
relatives and friends who had come to
spend Thanksgiving with it would gather
in the yard and enjoy the sight Finally
when the poor fellow was exhausted and
overcome with drowsiness he was killed.
The good housewives imagined that it
increased the flavor of the turkey SO per
cent to kill it while it was drunk. Fam
lilies that would not allow drop of liquor
to be brought into their houses at any 9TH
er time except as medicine would not
think it wrong to make their Thanksgiv-
ing turkey drunk. Perhaps it was thought
that the bird would feel less worried over
its fate if the headsman's Ratchet was put
to 1T while it was in state of blissful ig-
norance-Exchange. ~

children and Thanksgiving.

Gratitude is not virtue of childhood
1t has been defined as lively sense of IA
vors to come, and children seldom trouble
themselves to look far into the future.
They accept what is done for them or Civ
en- to them as right, a natural conse-
quence of their relations to those about
them. Accustomed to be dependent, the
thought of making return for what they
receive does not readily occur to them.
It may be suggested to them, and Thanks
giving, with all its associations, seems to
be peculiarly fitting occasion for the at
tempt. = Home journal
