Discovered by Woman.

Another great discovery has
been made, and that too, by a lady
in this country. 'Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed i'm
minent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way
to recovery, by purchasing of us a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery

relieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.

Chicken Thief Peppered.

A number of farmers in this
neighborhood have lately been
missing chickens by the wholesale
and have been on the watch for the
midnight visitor. Last Monday
night Charles Keilholtz heard a
noise about his hen house and after
loading his gun with bird shot went
out to investigate. He hid behind
a tree and waited. Presently a
dark object was seen moving from
the hen house to the pig pen. Sew
eral trips were made before the
watcher took aim and pulled the
trigger. After an instant of silence,
an eloquent plea of ''Don't shoot
me, mister, please !" came out of
the gloom, and the dark object
rapidly faded away. Report says
there is a coon hide stuck full of
bird shot about "litle New York. y

HE WELCOMED LAFAYETTE,
An Aged New Hampshire Clergy man
Who Spoke for His Fellow SCHOOL,
Children in 1924.

There lives in the city of Manchester.
n. H., man who made one of the MANY
addresses of welcome to MARQUIS de
Lafayette during his last and triumphal
tour of the United States in 1924, He is
Rev. DR.. G. L. Demarest, and the adj
dress was made in New York city. Mr..
Demarest told the story to a reporter
of the Sun.
Il was only seven years old at the
time," he said. 1.-THE incident occurred
In September, the great French states
man and soldier making his trip to this
country in August and September of
1924. The way my connection with it
came about was this: was an attend
ant at one of the schools established
by the Free School society, of New
city, and it was desired to show to La
fayette and his friends the inside work
1ngs of those schools. September 10
was set apart for the day, and when
Lafayette came 1 stepped forward and
read to him an address which had been
prepared by the master of the school.
Lafayette replied kindly in words
which l cannot recall, and presented
me a half dollar. The trustees of the
school gave me additional coins amount
ing to about dollar more. l was but
a simple-headed child and turned these
gifts over to my father, who used the
money, none of our family realizing
what value would in after years attach
to the Lafayette piece from associa-
ton.
"At two o'clock that afternoon the
children of all the schools in New York
city, with one exception, think, formed
in two rows in the City Hall park, and
Gen. Lafayette and party, with the
mayor and common council, passed be-
tween us. The children saluted by
the clapping of hands.
II remember Lafayette looked like
portraits eXtant at that time, and II
presume the sams portraits of him ex-
list to-day. He was 6s years of age at
the time, and his death occurred ten
years later. His achievements were,
of course, familiar to me as schoolboy,
and most prominent in our young
minds were the facts that the great
Frenchman was q friend of Washing
ton and a hero of the American revolu-
ton. His face appeared, as 1 remem-
Der it, long, but pleasant rather than
grave. He was dressed in the civilian
attire of the time.
Il was born in New York city, in
what was known as Greenwich village,
in 1916. At the time of Lafayettc's
visit the city had, should say, 100000
population, and it was during that
decade that it enjoyed the greatest
boom and the greatest ratio of ex-
pansion of its entire history, the Erie
canal being completed about that time.
The city was, however, very different |
from what it is to-day, and then prom
inent people who fought in the Amer
lean revolution were still In active life, |
While the heroes of 1912 abounded |
everywhere"
Mr., Demarest, who is in his eighty |
third year, is very active, having re-
turned to Manchester from a business |
trip to Boston recently. He still takes |
great interest in the affairs of New
York city, where he passed his boy
hood when it was boom town, and his |
library contains many books relating |
to the metropolis.-N. Y. Sun.

Our esteemed contemporary the North
East Star, like other political prognos-
tlcators, takes hand in attempting the
horoscope of the platforms Of the parties
in 1900. His first postulate is that silver
will not be leading plank, if in the
platform at all, of the Democratic party
in 1900. The tariff is worn out and
won't draw at all, is also assumed. The
trusts bid fair for a while to make lead
ing plank, but Hanna spoiled that by
taking up an antitrust position for the
Republican party. Expansion seems to
be all that is left our prognosticating
friend to hook onto, but after little
consideration it seems probable that the
Republicans will juggle with that so as to
make it very weak plank to depend
upon. The Stars logic leads it back to
the money issue at last, by acknowledge
ing that the other issues are likely to
prove mighty unsartin" things to trust
to. There can be no money plank in any
platform without silver in the very midst
of it. The gold stories which are fooliug
the Star are more than half humbug. If
gold can raise prices in this country it
will check exports and increase imports
till it goes to other countries and evens
up the world over, and there is not going
to be enough gold produced to influence
the worlds prices much There will be
no room for goldbug Democracy in 1900.
Mark that, friend Star.
