Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as a kind Of insult to be asked
if they have weak lungs. All seem to
have a solid faith in the soundness Of
their own breathing machine. In cases
OF trouble they will admit there is a
heavy cold" "a touch OF bronchitis" "
or even "a spell OF asthma" but as to
weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush OF doom. will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles OF those near and dear
to us. 1t is also sad thought that we
may hug delusion as to our own health
that we only get rid OF when lie itself
must pay the forfeit.
Nobody can afford to think lightly
OF lung troubles. Nobody can afford 10
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them. or "let them wear out" or get
better in the spring." or any other tom
foolery that leads only TO wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward. Weak lungs don't grow strong
by themselves-you must heal them
and strengthen them, and rid them OF
the very earliest germs of disease, or
you are simply committing form OF
suicide. Either you must cure your

He Showed How.

A boy was summoned to testify IN
A case in which one man had hit an
other with a shovel A host of wit
nesses had been called, who beat
about the bush in the most tedious
and provoking manner. This an
noyed the lawyer for the prosecution,
who broke out as follows:
Here, boy, we've been going around
this case for hours, and yet have no
evidence TO convict the prisoner. Now,
sir, he savagely continued do You
hear me? l want to come to the dl-
rect point. Did you see the blow
struck
Yes, sir.
"Ah, ah, chuckled the lawyer, rub
bing his hands, I'VE have something
to work upon. Here, my good lad.
TAX. this cane) handing him hi swalk-
ing stick.) Ifyou saw the blow struck,
You must know how it was given.
"Yes, sir, I"
"Now, then, no words about 1t, !
tell you !" thundered the interroga-
tor. "Im the complainant, and you
are the prisoner Now, just raise the
stick and show the court.
The bewilderod lad did raise the
stick" and the next moment it came
down upon the bald pate of the as
tonished lawyer and sent him stagger-
ing to his seat.
That's the way it was done, sir,
said the boy, amid the sbrieks OF
laughter Of the whole court room.
The discounted counsel, with ghast-
ly attempt to smile, said that he was
done with the witne.s-the evidence
was direct.

lung troubles or THEY WILL KILL
YOU. That's the whole situation in
nutshell
Never was there a cure for lung trou-
bleS equal to the newly-discovered DR..
Slocum treatment. This forms a sys-
tenn OF Four Remedies that are used ST.
multaneously and supplement each
others curative action. 1t cures weak
lungs, bronchitis, asthma, coughs, con-
sumption and every other ailment OF
the pulmonary region. 1t destroys
every germ that can affect the respira-
tory system, and even in advanced
stages OF lung trouble positively arrests
the tubercular growth, while it also
builds up the patient so that his system
is enabled to throw off scrofula, rheum-
atism, catarrh, and other wasting dis
eases.
Thousands Of cured cases already
prove these claims. Thousands OF CRATE
ful people bless the discovery.
The Doctor wants everybody to know
the surprising merits OF his system He
has arranged to give free treatment
(Four Preparations to all sufferers. Full
instructions for use accompany each
treatment.

SI.00 A YEAR.
A Fresh Lieutenant.

4 Young second lieutenant, who had
been graduated from the first class
couple Of months before the regular
graduation, at West Point, has just
joined his regiment, and was walking
down the street near the palace, says
a writer on Stntiago in Leslie Week
ly. He stopped on the corner, and as
he did so an old grizzled soldier with
a growth of beard on his face an with
cavalry sergsant's stripe on his breech-
es, blue shirt, and campaign hat, but
no other mark of rank about hls uni
form, except his sergeants stripe,
walked slowly down and stopped IN
front Of the lieutenant, looking around
at the different buildings. The young
officer 6dgeted few moments under
the manner in which the trooper ig-
nored his proximity, and finally turned
on him and said, sharply Here, You
man. did any one teach you how to
salute Yes, sir, drawled the
trooper, as he glanced at the young
ster. We'll, knock your heels to-
gether, sand the young officer, and
the trooper came to attention with the
precision of an old soldier Now sa-
lutte, he said, and the troopers gauut-
let came to the rim OF his hat and
staid there until the young lieutenant
answered 1t, 1t the same time demand
ing: Now. remember tins, and don
let this happen again. What syour
name. and what do you belong to2'
Without relaxing his position from at
tentlon the old trooper again respect
fully saluted. and remarked dryIy
NY name is Samuel Summer and !
am brgadier general Of the cavalry
brigade. whereupon the young lieu
tenant proceeded to copy as many
colors of the rainbow with his face as
was possible, and slipped away as soon
as be dared, forgetting even TO apollo.

earthed fre-places under soil which
must have been accumulating hun
dred, of years.
About the site of the Indian town
on Mingo run, tributary OF Tygart's
river, there was a space Of two acres
clear of trees and stumps at the CON-
ing of white men, century and a
quarter ago. 1t was evidently an Old
cultivated plot, where the Indians
had raised corn. | have seen several
of those places, usually called "Old
Fields" by the early settlers, but now
thev are lost in farms. One is below
Moorefeld, Hardy county; another on
the Maryland side Of the Potomac,
below Cumberland. There is reason
to believe that the region east Of the
Alleghanies was occupied BY Indians
after the part between the mountains
and the Ohio was d-solated. Tradl-
tions preserved by Kercheyal are
grounds for such conclusion. Yet,
even including the part Of the State
east of the Alleghanies I am acquaint-
ed with no evidence going to show
that there has been, on the soil of
West Virginia, single Indian village
or settlement within the past two
hundred years, except temporary
camp.-Hu NarpcH

made myself quite easy about my be-
loved but daring charges, as they
had promised not to go near the creek,
and they never broke their word. At
tea-time they came in looking radiant,
and told m. innocsntly that they had
lust been wsding in the white sand in
the meadow in their bare feet since

rubbed their feet with spirits and put
them to bed, and they had only lit

latto woman on the place who had
been Viola NANNY" She had never
seen Steenle, and Viola did not rec
ollect her, l thought it would shock
the children to see one so sick as she
was but they simply, of their own ac-
cord, knelt down together, and kissed
the faithful old withered hands, for
they knew that she was saint in
Israel. How fondly her hands rested
on them These little ones had feel
ing as if heaven was very near, when
ever they got out under Gods own sky
and amongst his trees. When Viola
was only four years old she said to me
Aunt Kathy, when we 90 to heaven

cant begin to know how Jesus loves
us One day it will be seen that in
unseen quiet spots many babe has

soon to loose them from off their feet,
others to be specially prepared to sor-

hope" No tongue can tell the sweet
ness Of JOY that watchers by them
know, as they whisper 20 other little
lambs that "such as these have lived

With unknown thresholds on each hand.
The darkness deepens as groPe.
Afraid to fear. afraid to hope;
Yet this one thing learn to know
Each day more surely as 60.
That doors are opened. ways are made.
Burthens are lifted or are laid,
By some great law, unseen and still.
Uniathomed purpose to fulfill
Not as will"
Blindfolded and alone | wait;
Loss seems too bitter. gain too late:
Too heavy burthens in the load,
And TOO few helpers on the road;
And Joy is weak. and grief is strong,
And years and days so lonely-long;
Yet this one thing learn to know
Each day more surely As 60
That am glad the good and i'll

Not as will
Not as will" The sound grows sweet
Each time my lips the words repeat.
Not as will" The darkness feels
More safe than light when this thought steals
Like whispered voice to calm and bless
All unrest and all loneliness.

Who loved US first and best has gone
Before Us on the road. and still
For Us must all His love fulfill

KATE DANDRIDGI
Drawing on the Bank.

a little girl who had rlch papa
bad also an iron savings bank, out of
which, it is to be feared, she drew
more than she deposited. Anyway,
here is the way she became insolvent
at her bank
He was a bouncing big turkey and
they hung him by the heels, so that
bis nose almost touched the walk just
outside the butchers shop. A little
girl was standing there and watching
it. You could see that she was hum
cry little girl and worse than that,
she was cold, too, for her shawl had
to do for hood and almost everything
else. No one was looking, and so she
put out little red hand and gave the
great turkey a push; and he swung
back and forth almost making the great
iron hook creak, he was so heavy.
"What a splendid big turkey y
The poor little girl turned round /;
and there was another little girl look
ing at the turkey, too. She was out
walking with her dolls, and had on
cloak with real fur all around the
edges; and she had a real muff, white
with little black spots all over it.
Good morning, miss" said the
butcher man. You see he knew the
little girl with the muf perfectly well.
That's big turkey, Mr.. Martin. "
"Yes," said the poor little girl, tim
idly. Hes the biggest | ever saw in
my life. He must be splendid to eat. "
Pooh p said the little girl with the
muff. He isn't any bigger than the
one my papa brought home for thanks
giving tomorrow.
Gould have a leg, if l came for
it tomorrow asked the poor little
girl, softly.
What haven't you whole tur-
key ?"
Never had ole in my life" said
the poor little girl.
Then you shall have this one,
said the little girl with the muff.
"Mr. Martin, I've got some money in
my savingsbank at home, and my pa
pa said l could do just as l wanted to
with it; and I'm going to buy the
turkey for this little girl"
The poor little girls eyes grew 50
very large you wOuldn t have known
them. Il shall love you always, go
very, very much and I'll go home
for foxy to help. Foxy is my brother,
and l know we can carry him"
haven room to tell you about it !;
but the poor little girl got her turkey,
and papa his bill.
What's this" said he. another
turkey, eighteen pounds, three dollars
and sixty cents ?"
That's all right, said the little
girl who had the mutf. Il bought
him, and gave him to a poor little
girl who never ate one; and the money
is in my iron bank.
The bank was opened, and there
were Just four big pennies in it
