What Rocked the Cradle,

A traveller going through n sparsely
settled country came TO n lonely cabin,
and. finding the door open, went in.
Nobody was in sight, but in the center
of the room he saw cradle with a
baby lying in 1t fast asleep. The
cradle was rocked back and forth
with great regularity. and he was
puzzled to know what kept II in mo-
ton. On examination he found a
stout cord attached to a nail driven in
the side of the cradle and passed
through an auger hole In the side of the
house. He took up the trail. which
soon led him into revine where a
donkey was standing and switching
his tail. The mystery was explained.
The other end of the cord was attached
to the donkey's tail and the constant
switching kept the cradle in motion.
II was an ingenious device on the part
of the mother to keep her baby asleep
while she went off for u time.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

Free From
Rheumatism.

II the people generally knew the true
cause Of Rheumatism, there would be
no such thing as liniments and lotions
for this painful and disabling disease.
The fact is, Rheumatism is disordered
state of the blood--it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood. But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuria-
tism, for it is an obstinate disease, one
which requires a real blood remedy
something more than mere tonic:
Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unable to cure Rheu-
matism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe are potash and
mercury, and though temporary relief
may result, these remedies produce
stiffness of joints and only intensity the
disease. Those who have had experience
with Rheumatism know that it becomes
more severe each year.
