FOR MALARIA,
CH|LLS And fever.
The Best Prescription Is Grove IS
TasteIeSs Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill TONES shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the on y Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malaral sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

Great Diamond Finished.

For six days week since June, a workman had been engaged in cutting and polishing the largest diamond ever brought to this country says New York dispatch to the St. Louis Republic. Last week it was finished. The final bit of polishing was done in workshop at No. l42 West Fourteen th street, and the diamond was ready for the market. Like all other large diamonds, this one has name. It is called the Ernestine, and as such is destined to become famous.
 The Ernestlne has n history. In the days when Baden-PowelI and his small band of men were besieged by the BuerS in Kimberley, the katlirS were kept busy in the mines. In what might be termed the height of the siege the big diamond was found. For day work was suspended and the soldiers left the trenches to get look at the great stone in the rough.
 When the seige was raised the first shipment from the mines was the stone found while the seize was going on. It was taken to London, and there attracted the attention of an American. Others wished it, but the buyerOf uncut stones from this country sad nothing was too good for America and the stone was sold to him. It gen. erally was supposed that the cutting Of the great gem would be intruSted to some European firm, but the pur- chaser preferred to have it done under his own supervision in his own shop.
 In the rough the stone weighed 326 karats. The cutting haS reduced this, but 1t was estimated that the Ernest inc when finished would be worth more than s40,OO0.
 The owner said yesterday that the diamond had been sold and had left his hands he name of the purchaser he refused to reveal, but intimated that iJ would be made public in a snort time. It is understood that a dealer in stones has purchased it, and that the tina owner will be woman of wealth, who has. been after the Ernestine ever since it was brought to this country.

PULLED THE STRING.
And Found Herself in Very Em-
 barrassing Position.

An exchange tells of funny thing which happened to young lady in a Texas town. She was at church, and sitting just in front of her she saw a tall handsomely dressed stranger with a piece of white lint hanging over his collar. Being lady of an accommo- dating disposition-One of the warm hearted, whole-souled girls who grow to be motherly old ladies, a friend to everybody in town-she thought how glad she would be if some good, kind hearted girl would do as much for her father il he were to come to church with rayeling hanging down his back. Besides, the thing worried her and ru- ined the otherwise immaculate appear ance presented by the broad neck and well built shoulders, so as the congre- gation rose for prayer she concluded to pick it otl Carefully raising her hand she gave 1t twitCh, but there was more of it than she supposed, and a foot or more of it appeared. Setting her teeth, she gave another long pull and a yard or more of that thread hung down his back. This was embar- rassing, but with grim determina- tion to do or die, she gave another yank and found that she was unrayel- ing his undershirt. It is needless to say that her embarrassment was then so painful that chloroform could not alleviate her suffering, nor a pint of powder have hidden her bushes, when the gentleman turned, with an inquir- ing look to see what was tickling his back.

Forests and Reservoirs.

 Now, one of the greatest arguments always advanced In favor of forest preservation IS the influence which forests are supposed to nave in con serving the flow of the streams. lnas- much As the commercial value Of these forests Is practically insignificant, GA cspt for furnishing iuel ana rough timber, the water question Is really the more important one
