Is irsidious, and men do not realize that
they are In its clutch While CONSUMPTION
is germ disease, the bacilli will not in
wade sound and healthy lungs. The lungs
must first Re in diseased condition.
First man feels little out of sorts
probably he is overworked and has given
TOO little time to eating, sleeping and rest
ing. His appetite falls off His digestion
gets out OF order and his blood does rot
receive the proper amount of life-giving
nutrlirent The liver becomes torpid and
the blood is filled with impurities. These
are pumped into every organ of the body
Duildlng up unhealthy, halfdead tissues.
The most harm is done at the weakest spot.
and most frequently that spot is in the
lungs. slight cold leads to inHamma
non the baeilli invade the lungs and we
have case of consumption.
Ninety eight per cent of all cases of
consumption are cured by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery It is the great
blood maker and flesh builder. 1t restores
the lost appetite, makes the digestion per
feet, inviEorates the liver, purifes the
blood, builds new and healthy flesh and
drives out all impurities and disease germs.
1t cures weak lungs, splitting of blood obsti-
nate coughs and kindred ailments. No hon
est druggist will recommend substitute.
Mrs. Ursula Durham, of SistersviIle. TYLER Co.

time, had but little appetite and grew very thin
The Golden Medical Discovery promptly

The SOuIe Stir in 1853.

The cause of the present quarrel be-
tween America and Spain is sufficient
ly serious, but how many can recall
the incident which created no little stir
in 1853, in which the two nations near
ly became embroiled-and dragged
France into the dispute--over no less
serious a matter than the cut of a
lady's dress? The lady was the wife of
the United States minister at Madrid,
Mr.. Soule. The French ambassador,
the Marquis de Turgot, gave ball in
honor of the Duke of Alba, brother Of
the then Empress Eugene, who is a
Spaniard. Mrs. Soule's dress apparent
ly did not meet with approval from
the duke, who was overheard by the
lady's son making an insulting remark
about it. Whereupon young Soule
broke up the ball by publicly denounc-
ing the duke as blackguard.
Next day the affair was the talk of
all Madrid and Paris. Young Soule sent
a challenge to the duke. Then it was
reported that the insulting phrase orig
mated with the Marquis de Turgot
himself, and the American ambassa-
dor took up the quarrel and challenged
the marquis. The two duels took place
at once The first passed without re-
suit, but in the second the French am
bassador was severely wounded by a
bullet in the knee

The IneXornbIe sentinel.

The Second Louisiana was in posi-
tion where the most convenient route
to reach it was through the camp of
the First Alabama. One of the men,
bers of the Louisiana camp was out
after hours, and as he came to the
line of the Alabama camp he rah into
a sentinel. who promptly brought his
gun to charge and shouted Haiti"
The Louisianian promptly halted, and
the sentinel and he stood peering at
each other for some time through the
gloom. Finally the sentinel, in tremu-
lous tones, said:
You can't get through this line un-
less you say Hobson."
"Hobson." the Louisianian promptly
said.
The sentinel brought his piece to q
present, The intruder saluted and the
line was passed
