The Chinaman Flew.

Residents along Putnam street
wondered whence the source Of the
noise which disturbed their
slumbers early yesterday morning.
1t appears that two members of ouI
force were standing on Second street
opposite the Union Depot, when a
Chinaman passed. One of them called
to him to wait a moment, but he
started to run. The policeman then
shot twice in the air and John" flew
down Putnam street, two steps at a
jump and yelling as hard as he could
yell, with the policeman in hot pur'
suit.

those we love. Why not aoiH fortune as
well as 5OiSh it for the child2
The greatest fortune any mother can
bestow on her child is healthy body
and happy mind, and with this great
fortune every mother may endow the
child if she will. The child's stock of
health is what the mother supplies. The
weak and worried woman has very
slender stock of health to bestow on
the baby.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes mothers healthy and happy. 1t
does away with the misery of morning
sickness. 1t strengthens the nerves,
gives the body feeling of buoyancy,
makes the mind cheerful gives vigor
and elasticity to the organs peculiarly
feminine, and baby's advent to the world
is free from danger and painless.
MY first two babies were stil-born, and l

Your Own Home Doctor
First, Last and All the Time.

OF implicit faith we oft hear tell,
But confidence makes no one well.
With nurses care and doctors skill
A life is saved when faith might kill.
A peddled book, an almanac,
Cheap advice from travelling quack,
BY accident a cure may make
Or xii by some tom-fool mistake.
Your own physician first call in
And pin your faith smack-dab to him.
Pin it there with the spike of hope,
Drive it home with a ten spot note.
If your home physicians skill is spent,
You might as well put up your tent,
Vamoose, skedaddle, take a sneak,
And call upon dear old st. Pete
How can a book, an almanac,
A corner fakir, fiddling quack,
Make a cure, when a graduate
Must bow to the inevitable fate
Be wise in the choice of your physi-
clan; he is your greatest benefactor;
and be not otherwise in the selection
of your druggist.
Yours for business,
1877 Greene street. Phone SO.
