CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with very monotonous note
a continuous cry of "cuckoo, cuckoo"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making success Of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. It is so with those limitations of
DIR. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DIR. R. v. Pierce, chief consulting ply
stefan to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffale,
N. Y. For over thirty years DIR. Pierce
has made speciality Of the treatment
OF diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman Is invited to consult DIR. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.

Jim" Cabeen.

All men in any way connected
with public life in either the Lou
isiana house or senate will re.
member "Jim" Cabeen, the clev-
er, capable and accommodating.
clerk, who had become almost a
fixture in legislative halls during
the past ten years.
Cabeen hailed from Bossier
parish, where he was extremely
popular, and was always loyalty
supported by his home people for
any position to which he aspired.
Some months ago consumption
took hold of him, and he went to
San Antonio, Texas, where he
died on Saturday last. His body
was taken to Shreveport, and
thence to Bossier parish, where
the interment took place yester-
day.
Jim" Cabeen was universally
beloved by all who knew him, and
probably no man connected with
the legislature had a more extern
sive acquaintance. The newspa-
per men especially are indebted
to him for many of those little
quiet kindnesses which relieve
the strain of labor, and which are
so highly appreciated in the late
hours of the night when the tele-
graph operators are bowling for
more s3stuff," and the managing
editors of city dailies are sending
kilograms of the :" hurry up" va
riety.
Cabeen will be missed by all
who had any acquaintance with
him, but by none more than the
newspaper men, whom he served
so cheerfully and intelligently -
