CURIOUS cUc I

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with avery monotonous note /:
q continuous cry Of cuckoo, cuckoo =
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is. known as a bird
that never blilds.a nest for itself, but
takes advantage Of one already built by
some more industrious bird. d
There is good deal Of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead Of
making a 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
DR.. 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 I" makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger. AZ q
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. It is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such kuowl-
edge and experience as IS possessed by
DR.. R. v. Pierce, chief consulting ply

When Mr.. Hardy and George reach
ed the town hall, they found a large
crowd gathering. They had some difli-
Guilty Ia gaining entrance. Mr.. Hardy
at once passed up TO the platform,
where the chairman Of the meeting
greeted him and said he would expect
him to make some remarks during the
evening
Robert sat down at one end OF the
platform and watched the hall fill with
people, nearly all well known to him.
There was an unusually large crowd
OF boys and young men, besides a large
gathering Of his own men from the
shops, together with Il great number OF
citizens and business men, Il repre-
sentative audience for the place,
brought together under the influence
of the disaster and feeling somewhat
the breaking down OF artificial social
distinctions In the presence OF the grim
leYCler Death, who had come so near to
them the last few days.
There were the usual opening exer-
cises common TO such public gather
ings. Several we'll known business
men and two or three of the ministers,
including Mr.. Jones, made appropriate
addresses. The attention of the great
audience was not labored for, the oc-
caslon itself being enough to throw
over the people the spell Of subdued
quiet.
When the chairman announced that
"Mr. Robert Hardy, our well known
railroad manager, Will now address
u.s." there was movement OF curiosi-
ty and some surprise, and many a man
leaned forward and wondered in his
heart what the wealthy railroad man
would have to say on such an occasion.
He had never appeared as n speaker
In public, and he passed generally In
Barton for the cold, selfish, naughty
man he had always been.
