It's much the same way in the detec-
ton of disease While the amateur is
blundering along over misleading symp-
toms, the specialist goes right to the real

DIR. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. ". succeeds in
hunting out and arresting diseases, where
the less experienced practitioners fail.
More than thirty years of special study
and experience have enabled DIR. Pierce
to read symptoms as easily and as truly as
the Indian reads trail which is without
a hint for less acute vision than his.
Any sick person can consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge.
Each letter is read in private and an

When the Port Chester schools closed

A Brief Career.

She was hired for general housework in
a family on Adelaide Street and arrived
Just in time to go to bed. The next morn
but soon awakened the whole household
by calling up stairs that there was no
ground coffee.
Then grind some," retorted the mis-
tress, whose temper wasn't improved by
having her nap cut short. You'll find
some coffee in the lower part Of the kitch-
en- cupboard and the coffee mills right
beside it,
In about twenty minutes the girl came
wearily up stairs, breathing short and
mopping her red face with her apron.

as could ever since you told me and as
fast as could. but not grain will it

The mistress went down to see about 1t
and audibly announced how funny it was
she could never get girl that knew any
thing When she found that the new help
hid placed the coffee in the little receiving
drawer under the mill and had been grind
ing away on air, she jerked things en-
phatically in a hurry, put the coffee in the
hopper and curtly told the girl to grind for
her life.
At 10 o'clock a man called at the front
door and said to the girl, who responded
What telephone do you use?"
"The same as they all uses"
do you have the Bell?"
"Of course We has bell. Dye think
they ring us up with tin whistler"
Ten minutes later she went around the
corner with a bundle, ready to take ar
other place as soon as it might offer.

The Idea Was Correct.

Many of our volunteers who fought in
Cuba and came into personal contact with
the Cuban patriot army under Gomez have
more or less amusing stories to tell Of
the peculiar brand of military discipline
which prevailed among the half-naked,
half-armed, half-starvad soldiery, which
which had so long deAed the best troops
Spain could send against them, or rather
after them-for II they were only half
armed their equipment of legs was COM
plste and efficient, and as runners they
could be outpaced only by Filipinos. Span
iards were no match for them as sprint
ers.
Their idea Of discipline, however. was
q thing to marvel at, and caused as much
amused comment among our soldiers as
our own ideas Of discipline evoke from the
English martinets.
Perhaps the most interesting Of these
Cubans were the few who had at one time
been in this country, earning q living as
cigarmakers in Florida. and had there
picked up more or less English. It b re-

vigorous efforts to induce the girls to re-
