An Early Exploit of the senator

with him when they were boys together,
going to school in Western Pennsylvania.
Judge White is about the last of the old
school Of politicians in that State who is
still prominent and influential among the
Republican leaders. He was Il smart BOY,
but not quite so smart as Matt Quay.
There never was sharper, more mischiey

was. He was continually cutting up

some kind, and he never traded knife

in the preliminary negotiations. But the
transaction in the matter of the knife
trade with Harry White was a little ahead
of any deal he ever made in those halcyon
days
Matt had jackknife that was the envy
OF all the boys. Ii had buckhorn handle,

included a knife he owned, a dozen mar

but Matt persistently declined to make a
dicker. One day, though, much to the
surprise of Harry, Matt brought up the
matter OF deal for his knife and sug-
gested that he might be induced 10 swap
for something.
II haven't got my knife with me-
though said the future statesman, and
il we strike up bargain you will have to

All right, said Harry, too much pleas

SUDDENLY STRICKEN,
When Timely Aid at the Right Time
Might Have Saved the Life.

Scarcely day passes that one does not
hear of men and women, known as pic
lures of health and strength, stricken
down by that dreaded disease pneumo-
MIA. There are various causes of pneu-
monia, but in whatever form it may come
it is terrible. If you have a tickling in
the throat, tightness in the chest. pain
in the head, chilly feeling, or pains
throughout the body, act promptly act
wisely-bring about an immediate reac-
ton. Take at once pure medicinal slim
ulant which will tend to equalize the cir
culation, check congestion and restore
health.
There is but one that can be recon-
mended. That is Duffys Pure Malt Whis-
ky. This is the only medicinal whisky
upon the market, is so acknowledged by
the Government, and its purity and power
is proven by its popularity. 1t has saved
the lives of more men and women who were
candidates for pneumonia than any dis
covery of modern science. Don't confound
1t with ordinary whisky, which has nc
medicinal value. 1t

of the Maryland crop is shipped there. but
during recent years other markets have
