BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of S25 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at Deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs a mass of u1ceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
70 relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing it's
wonderful effect, the doctor advised Ms
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

A QUEER story is told by the Lin
coin, Neb., Journal of how misfortune
of its own accord turned into good
luck for Nebraska farmer. He was
a man from Missouri who had in
vested his all in big wheat field in
Buffalo county, and then by means
of a mortgage on his land he raised
800 with which to raise wheat. "It
happened to be a poor year for wheat,
and the stand was not very good.
Concluding that it wasn't worth har-
vesting, he pulled up his stakes and
went back to Missouri, leaving the
farm to fight the mortgage all by it.
self. The farm was equal to the occa-
sion. The wheat ripened, fell down,
and deposited the seed in the soil
again. Next spring the wheat began
to grow Justify. Some of the neigh
bors were honest enough to write
about it down to the fugitive in Mis-
souri,, and he got interested enough
to come back and take look. Then
he stopped and harvested his volun-
tary crop. He sold it for enough to
pay off the mortgage and the rest of
his debts, and had tidy little surplus
over, with which he moved his family
back, and now declares there is no
state like Nebraska Well he might.
He would wait long for a similar hap
pening anywhere else. Possibly he
would wait long for it to happen
again in Nebraska. We would scorn
to doubt that it did happen once and

abandoned. Shortly after / a. m. sew

order it, because it is healthful, invigorating
and appetizing. 1t is made from pure grains

Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded.

Another illustration of the careless
and unnecessary use Of firearms by
boys was furnished by the tragic
shooting OF Edward Lippincott, in
Philadelphia, by a 17-year-old boy. 1t
is stated that the bov had two re-
volvers, one loaded and the other un-
loaded, and that he was under the
impression when he flourished the re-
Yolver that il was the unloaded one.
In nine cases out of ten it is the sup
posed unloaded pistol or gun that
goes off and kills or mains some one.
The question arises, what was a
boy Of such an age doing with re-
volYer at all, either loaded or un-
loaded Human life is entirely too
sacred to be at the mercy Of either
boy or man who foolishly points a
gun or pistol. There is no doubt that
the shooting was unintentional, but
the sorrow Of the person who did the
shooting will not bring back the life
Of the person shot. Only few weeks
ago the proprietor of store was con
victed of selling toy pistols to minors.
1t would seem as though here was
another opportunity to enforce the
law against the sale Of firearms to
boys. II the sale Of toy pistols to
minors is sdangerous to the community
the sale Of revolvers is much more so,
and the law should be applied not
only to those who sell such weapons
to minors, but to any one who
recklessly points either pistol or a
xuD at another.

using the mails to defraud The four
men arc Henry Ringbeck, 70. W.
Northstein NJ. McElhaney and Arthur
Miller. One Of the defendants. Will
lam Ruff had already pleaded guilty
1t was the plan of the defendants to
write to the mayor or postmaster Of
a town, telling him that a oorncob
pipe factory could be established for
81 900 and operated at small expense,
while the profits were represented to
be large. The men would then offer
TO sell suitable machinery for $500 to
$500. In each case where a factory was
actually put in operation it was found
next to impossible to dispose of the
product at all, so overstocled was the
market. The government alleged that
the price asked for the machinery was
so excessive as to be fraudulent and
that the purpose of the defendants let
ters was to cause an undue and in
ordinate demand for machinery which
really could not be profitably used

ELABORATE PLAN OF
THE BOER CAMPAIGN

LONDON, Nov s.-The Standards cor
respondent at Luxembourg gives further
details OF the Boer plan of campaign,
which was drawn up, he asserts by
general of European reputation"
Dr. Leyds obtained from several gen
erals in Germany and Belgium, as well
as in Holland, a series OF highly inter
esting plans, although there is no reason
to believe that the general whose plan
was accepted ever imagined It would be
put into execution. The correspondent
says:
The portion included the seizure OF the
coast railway north OF Durham by an at
tack through Zululand or by way Of
Greytown and Umboli. Thus throughout
Natal offensive tactics were suggested,
but in the Orange Free State the plan
proposed a defensive policy based on the
strategical advantage given by the posi-
ton of the Orange Free State on the
flank Of the railway north Of De Aar
Junction, and trusting to the Orange
River and the obstruction of the railway
bridges TO induce the British to advance
through Kimberley to Bloemfontefn or
through Mafeking and Pretoria.
The Beers are advised in the scheme
not to oppose either of these movements
in their earlier stages, but to operate on
the line OF communications, namely, $50
miles from De Aar to Kimberley and 250
miles from Kimberley to Mafeking. Dr.
Leyds has been assured that if the Beers
can hold out two months the European
powers will interfere. 1t is clear, there
fore, that the only way to disconcert their
plans is 10 obtain the right to dispatch a
third army to Delagoa Bay"
