HIS UNDERSTANDING.
He Knew What Receiver Was Just
as Well as Anybody in the
Courtroom.

A few days ago a case was IN one of the
courts that involved receiver for building
association. The plaintiff was highly re-
spected German VINO knew what he wanted,
but in some manner the attorney had not
taken the steps that his client desired
When the plaintiff was on the stand his at
torney examined him al length. During the
examination the old gentleman became ex-
cited and answered the questions in such a
way that the judge was under the impression
that he didn't thoroughly understand the
questions and answers. He declared that he
didn't want receiver, that he didn't want
his attorney to take the step, and that all he
wanted was his money.
At this point the judge suggested that the
SQUIRT interpreter be sent for, that the Ger
man might make himself more clearly under
stood. But he declared that he understood
what he wanted, and that was his money,
and if he failed to get it he would kill him
self.
To ascertain if he knew what he wanted
the judge said:
"Do you know what a receiver is?"
Eyes, sir; | do, sir, said the honest Ger
man. "IIe vos der man vot gifts der monish
und gifts nottings."
This convinced the Judge that the plaintiff
knew quite well what he wanted and what
he was talking about So the interpreter
was dispensed with, for the time being, at
least
81 guess" said the Judge, in conclusion,
"he knows about as much about a receiver
as we do."-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Mckinley for the independence of the
island. after which they will probably
proceed to Paris TO appear before the
peace commission. The Filipinos are
named Fillipe Agoncillo and Jose Lo-
PEI, the former being Aguinaldo's
chief emissary. In an interview he
said the insurgents fully expected to
be allowed 10 govern themselves and
even limited that some sort of agree
ment had been made with United
States Consul Wildman regarding the
outcome of the war made by the in
surgents against Spain, but what the
terms were Agoncillo would not state.
He said that he expected definite in
structions from Aguinaldo by cable,
but automatically refused to give the
slightest hint of any he might have al
ready received. The Filipinos are very
'shrewd and spoke English fluently.

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful Sol
diers.

These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like shaft
of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud
of privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. has
done among the u. S, Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de
cided to provide them, free of cost, with
enough for every man, and have already
given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds of Bat
AK Plug" and Dukes Mixture" Smoking
Tobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol
lars
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, so that every camp and every
hospital of the United States Army has
been supplied with enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United States Ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome
of all 'rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to remember
when we hear the remark again that
Corporations have no souls" that there
is one American corporation whose SOU
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in practical kindness"

with Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. He coaxed his granddaughter to get
him a box of the pills. After that box had
been used he secured another. In three
weeks he began to feel little life in his arm;
at the end of four he could move his fingers;
at the end of two months he could walk, and
in three months he could shave himself with
the injured hand.
As he told his story in the Herald Office,
he looked the perfect picture of health. He
carries a box of the pills in his pocket, and
whenever he does not feel just right, he
takes them. They cured him after doctors
had given him up, and his death was daily
expected.
All the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shat

A DyspeptiC's daily diet.

Dyspepsia Is one Of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands OF people suffer from
ii in a more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life aud happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toning up Of the entire system For
tify the system and it will do its own SIGHT
ing. and promptly eject any iutrnding
disease The success of DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla in curing indigestion and dyspep-
STA is due TO just this quality which ii
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss Of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
DIT. Ayers SarsaDarilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings il up to the level of
the strong food it for men. 1t does this
by strengthening the entire system The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength What

A SMALL BOYS SCHEME.
He Had an Idea About Eggs which
Promised a Splendid Result to
His Mind.

A small boy who is not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fond mamma for a
brief stay in the country
On a farm in a neighboring county he
waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up a
wondrous store of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smilingy said TO his
mother:
Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
in the stable for?"
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the sx-year-old:
MY dear, what did you do with those eggs
you took from the hen house,
ooh, mamma" replied the boy, Il didn't
want you to know about it.
"Why, it's all right, said mamma. 81 only
want to know what my boy did with them. .
81 hid them in the stable" said the little
fellow.
"And what for?"
"'Cause it's my scheme.
''Your scheme? And what is your
scheme?'
''Why, you see, mamma" said the little
philosopher when eggs is horned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens,
an | fink if they was horned in a stable dey
might be little horses!"
1t is needless to add that up to the time
of his leaving the farm the miracle was still
unaccomplished.-Cle Plain Dealer
