Think of it! More than century old!
And her old age is not a calamity.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinneu, who two
years ago at the age of 49, sent to the
prOprietOrS of Paine'S Celery Compound
an unexpected and unsolicited testimO-
NAL now two years afterWard (When
she has lived in good health beyond a
century, again writes with her own
hand another hearty letter of thankful
ness for the wonderful good this remedy
has done her.
Mrs. Grinnell was born in Benning-
ton, Vt, July 6, 1885, and is today living
with her daughter, the wife Of Martin
Fowler of Colchester, VT, a beautiful
town near Fort Ethan Allen. Her faith
er was farmer and hotel keeper, and
she lived upon the farm until her mar
riage.
Mrs. GrinneH rises at daylight, works
about the house, and when the weather
will permit walks out of doors. Her
eyesight is good and she spends many
hours crOcheting and doing fancy work.
She keeps abreast of the times, and is
remarkably well informed. She declares
that she does not feel any older than
she has for years, and if people half
her age enjoyed such health as she,
they would consider themselves fOrtu-
nate. She has had seven children, four
boys and three girls, two of whom are
living today.
In 1895 she wrote to the proprietOrs of
Paine's celery compound:
Paine'S celery compound has been my
| health preSerVer during the last few
years. Whenever 1 have an ache or
pain a few doses of this remedy gives
me relief and strength. Few women,
even though much younger than I, en-
joy as good health, for my appetite is
natural my sleep refreshing, and I can
walk quite a distance without feeling
tired. People are surprised at my Wig
orous appearance and activity, which I
| believe is the result of my using Paine 5
| celery compound. It has cured me of
constipation, and is of great help to me
whenever tired. Gratefully yours,
MRS. EMYLE HYDE GRINNELL.

REED SETTLES 1T.
Speaker Decides That There
Shall Be No Currency
Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The determine
ton has been reached by those Republi-
can leaders who have absolute control
in the matter-among them Speaker
Reed and Chairman Dingley-that the
defeat of the Teller resolution should
complete the record of this congress on
the financial issue.
1t was agreed that neither the Gage
bill, the monetary commission bill, nor
any other comprehensive measure for
currency revision should be considered
this session.
In the judgment of the leaders re-
ferred to, the Teller resolution came at
a most Opportune moment. There was
little prospect of agreement on a broad
currency measure.
To do nothing would be to offend the
currency-refOrm element and to run
counter to the recommendations of
President Mckinley, Secretary Gage
and the monetary commission.
To attempt to do anything meant di-
vision in the Republican ranks on the
question of retiring the greenbacks, the
strengthening of the gold standard and
other details, and besides the banking,
committee, in charge of the various
measures, was hope1essly at odds.
To add to the cOmpleXity of the situa-
ton the daily quotations from the big
money markets showed that the entire
business community was in a state of
unrest and apprehension.

Two years after. Mrs. Grinnell, still
vigorous, writes another grateful letter
in praise of this great remedy that has
done so much for her:
Wells, Richardson Co.:
Gentlemen-Paine's celery compound
still keeps me from weakness and sick
ness. 1 do not use it continually but
take it occasionally, and as a conse-
quence have not been sick for a long,
long time. I recommend Paine's celery
compound to every one in need of
remedy, and hope every old person will
use it and be saved sickness and suffer-
ing. Yours very truly,
MRS EMYLE HYDE GRINNELL.
Paine's celery compound is especially
valuable for recruiting and strength
and spent energies of men and women
advanced in years. 1t is the one prepa-
ration considered worthy the name of
a true nerve food and blood remedy by
physicians throughout the country. 1t
is prescribed by them in every state in
the union to tone up the system, regu-
late the nerves and restore health and
strength.
Nothing in the past has ever ap-
preached it in power of building up
weakened nerve tissues and giving
strength to the tired body. In severe
cases of persistent headaches, dyspep-
STA, neuralgia and sIeeplessness, due to
nervous feebleness, Paihe's celery COM
pound has a record of rapid and lasting
cures that embrace every city and town
in the wide sweep of the United States.
Its remarkable power over disease lies
in its active replacing of worn out parts
by new healthy ones, and its healing
and purifying action among the most
minute tissues of the body. 1t searches
out the weak parts at once, and sets to
work to build them up. The tired body
feels the strengthening effects or
Paine's celery compound forthwith
Give the nerves a chance to recover,
and the entire body will regain its
health and strength. Take Paine's eel

GO SLEEP FOB THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of SIeeplessness That Can
Be Readily Overcome.

Mr. VIM. Handschu of 10th st. Cotton
ALLEY, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses himself
as follows regarding the new remedy
FOR that common and obstinate disease,
piles: ct take pleasure in stating that
7 was so afflicted with piles that for
three months I got no regular sleep;
I became completely Frustrated; the
doctors did me no good; my brother
told me of the new remedy for piles,
the Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased
from my druggist three 50-cent boxes
and they completely cured me. am
once more at my work, and but for
this excellent medicine I should be on
my back. 1 take great pleasure in writ
ing this letter because so many people
myself did not know where to look for
permanent, reliable, safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure in the past three years has demon
strated to the medical profession. as
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles, that it is the safest and most eff
fectual pile cure ever offered to the
public, containing no Opiates or pOisOns
of any kind, painless and convenient to
handle, and being sold by druggists at
so cents and 81 per box, is within the
reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
eases that had not yielded to other
remedy for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
gTavating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms of piles and it is
common practice to use OintmentS
salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous pOisOns to remove
the trouble. The Pyramid has super
ceded all of these Intellectual remedies
and no one suffering with any rectal
trouble win make any mistake in CIV
ing the Pyramid a trial
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.
Marshall, Mich. for a valuable little
book on piles, describing all forms of
the disease and describing the method
of cure.
any druggist can furnish $he Pyra-
mid Pile Cure as it is the best known
and most popular remedy for piles, and
if you ask him he can doubtless refer you
to many people in your vicinity who
have been cured completely by it.

WILL PICK THE CHICKENS
Young Woman Who Sues For
Wages Proposes to Con-
vince the Jury.

Charlottesville, Ind, Feb. 5.-SOme
months ago Max Goodman, a thrifty
Hebrew, settled in Ladoga, and began
a wholesale poultry business, buying
for the eastern markets. Goodman en-
ployed his sister-in-law, Miss Dora Cor
don, as a chicken picker in his slaugh-
ter house. The little lady was very
pretty and an expert picker, becoming,
in spite of her work, the belle of the
town. She soon fell in love with her
most ardent admirer, Thomas Brann,
owner of a sawmil, and married him
in spite of the protest of her relatives.
Her elOpement caused quite a sensation
and her brother came post haste from
Chicago, offering her 81 500, it is said,
if she would renOunce the marriage.
She Indignantly refused, and was then
renuonced by her family. The bitter
ness thus engendered grew apace, and
finally Mrs. Brann sued Goodman for
$50 alleged to be due her for picking
chickens, at one cent each,i in QOodman'S
poultry house.
The trial of the cause was a most ex-
citing one, as both factions were in
tensely bitter. The jury, however, dis
agreed, some of the jurors not believing
it possible for the plaintiff to pick six
thousand fowls in the short time in
which the complainant alleges she did.
Mrs. Brann at once insisted that the
court set the cause down for an i'm
mediate rehearing, and Spiritedly de-
clared that at the next trial she would
remove all possibility of such a handi-
Gaping doubt. She has arranged with
the court that at the next trial the jury
shall go with her to a local poultry
stration of her ability as a chicken
picker. She proposes to have Il hens
killed before the jury, and to dress them
while they wait.

WANTS HIS SON SHOT.


Chattanooga, Aug lot is
learned from the statement of
chaplain at Camp Thomas that
letter has been received by the
officers of a certain regiment from
the father of deserter urging
that the boy be caught and shot.
The boy, it seems, had run away
from home to enter the army,
and enlisting he deserted. The
parents were communicated with,
and the father of the boy wrote
the commanding officer that he
could see no other way of remov-
ing the stain from the family
name and the disgrace from the
army than by catching the deserter
and shooting him.
A variety Ct opinions are heard
as to this letter, some holding
that it is the spirit of genuine
patriotism, and others that it is an
unnatural position for his father
to take in regard to his son. The
deserter is still at liberty, as far
as known.
