Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its seyerest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing Of us bottle
Of DR.. Kings New discovery for Con-
sumption, and was SO much relieved
on taking the first dose, that she slept
all night; and with two bottles, has
been absolutely cured. Her name is

The Chicago RECORD gives the world
the benefit of the following "high
lights"
Sleep rests us, because while we
sleep hope and fear sleep too.
A cynic doesn't want other people to
be happy, because they know he is a
failure.
A man who never makes a fool of
himself seldom understands why he
isn't popular.
When woman starts out be pro-
fessional invalid she always makes a
success of ii.
Some children grow up in spite of
their indulgent parents efforts to kill
them while young.
Woman is created without sense of
humor, because when man is laughed
at he doesn't propose.
The man who knows it all misses a
good thing in not knowing people who
like to hear him tell it.
The man who has had to cut his own
grass never finds fault with the man
whom his wife fluids to cut it.

A CHEERFUL IDEA.

Havana, December 1.-THE people of
Havana, Spanish and Cuban, long for
American occupation; the Cubans. be-
cause they live in unrest and fear; the
Spanish residents. because they are to
stay here after the Spanish soldiers de-
part, and they don't wish the Cubans
to become further embittered.
Captain General Casteilanos regrets the
discords which have occurred and wishes
that the last days of Spanish rule here
may be peaceful as he has many cares to
occupy his attention.
The talk among the junior Spanish on
GERS and privates is that they ought to
mark their retirement from the island
by killing 500 or SO of the insurgents.
