How much property a man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The man who suffers from i'll
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business man. The man who comes
TO his desk in the morning with head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiuess, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses IestlesSly through
the night without sleep is not likely to
leave competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability.
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be ccOmplished
by work. and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
good work, and good work IS never done
save by thoroughly healthy man. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best of all health restorers and health pre-
servers. 1t makes the stomach strong and
active. 1t sends to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. 1t facilitates
the flow of digestive Juices and makes as
similation perfect. It invigorates the liver.
1t purihes the blood and fills it with the
1fe-giving elements of the food. 1t is the
great bloOd-maker and flesh builder. It
tears down inert, half dead tissues and
builds new, firm muscular flesh. It does
not build habby fat like cod liver oil and
does not make people more Corpulent.

Cotton Made From shavings.

Washington, June 6.-Austria has be-

wood of the fir tree. The wood is re-

hours. They are then subjected to
strong preparation of sodium I've and
are heated under great pressure for
thirty-six hours The wood is changed
to pure cellulose, and to give this
greater resisting power some castor,
caffeine, and gelatin are added. The
substance is then put into an apparatus
and made into threads, which are reel

STOPS GROWERS SPORT.
A Massachusetts, Farmer Finds the
Ex-President Poaching.

Winsted, Conn, June 6.-Things have
been "evened up between ex-President
Grover Cleveland and Frank johnson,
a farmer in the Berkshire hills. That
the eX-president was not arrested for
trespassing and forced to be bailed out
by Richard Watson Glider is not the
fault of Johnson, who caught him fish
ing in his brook.
Some days ago Mr. Cleveland arrived
at birmingham, Mass, as the guest of
Mr.. Glider at his summer cottage.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Cleveland started
to fish. He whipped the stream until he
came to Johnson's land. There were
signs over the place reading, mo tres
passing" and Fishing without permits
sion contrary to law" but Mr.. CleVe-
land failed to pay any attention to
them.
Get out of here, you idiot" shouted
the farmer.
But, my dear SIR began the fisher
man, Il didn't@''
NO, darn you, you didn't. That's the
way with you all. Get your fat, lazy
carcass off my land, and if you don't
I'll have the constable put you in the
calaboose. and keep you there till yer
friends in New York take up a subscrip-
ton to pay your fine. Now, git, darn
yOu!"
The ex-president shouldered his rod
and started away.
Throw that trout back in the water;
it will live" said Johnson, and Grover
tossed it back with a sigh. The farmer
pointed to a fence as the nearest way
off the land, and then called the dog.
Both watched the ex-president putting
he tried to climb the fence.
You ought to get a derrick or carry
a windlass with you, b'gosh," was the
comment of johnson as the fence rail,
unable to stand the strain, gave away.
1t was not until hours after that
Johnson learned that he had ordered
Mr.. Cleveland off his place.
Hes lucky I didn't have him arrest
ed. L would have, too, if the old COW
wasn't over in the lettuce patch. Well,
we'll, so that was Grover! When he was
president the second time I wanted to
be postmaster in the village. 1 had
good backin', but some consarned mug
wump got it. 1 guess that we are about
even now, though
Mr.. Cleveland lost no time in going
back to Gray Gables.
