A Fiendish Attack,

An attack was lately made on g. f.
Collier of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly
proved fatal. 1t came through his kid
neys. His back got so lame he could
not stoop without great pain, nor sitin
chair except propped by cushions.
No remedy helped him until he tried
Electric Bitters which effected such a
wonderful change that he writes he
feels like a new man, This marvellous
medicine cures backache and kidney
trouble, purifies the blood and builds
up your health. Only SOC at Bentor

Norway Fairies.

Like the Japanese" writes William
E. Curtis in the Chicago Herald, ''the
Norwegians are very superstitious,
and as in Japan the forests. the noun
tains and the gorges are peopled with
fairies. Nissen is the good fairy of the
farmers. He looks after the cattle par
ticularly, and if he is well treated
they are healthy and the cows give lots
of milk. TO propitiate him it is neces-
sary to put a dish of porridge ON the
threshold of the COW stable on Christ
mas morning. Whenever the family
moves this invisible being goes along
with them and sits on the top of the
loads'

POLITICS IN PHILADELPHIA.
THE CAMPAIGN WHICH is NOW ABOUT
TO BE OPENED.

Caroline Cameron has seen and
talked with Israel w. Durham and
David Martin on the political outlook
for 1901 and will pr esent in next Sun
days Press a remarkably interesting
story of the impressions conveyed by
these two political leaders. Mr.. Dur
ham, in particular, has gone into more
or less detail concerning the needs of
organization, and his views will not
only be instructive to those per-
sons who have had no experience i'll
the field of politics, but will be deci-
dedly interesting to those who have
felt, from long experience, that they
knew all about the work that is nee
essary to roll up maiorities. If you
have not already ordered your copy ct

Education in Porto Rico.

The expense of maintaining schools in
Porto Rico is very high, if we consider
the amount spent for the small number
of pupils enrolled but as that country
is gradually brought in closer touch with
our own, their system will evidently be
changed, until it reaches our present
state of perfection. In this country the
people are being educated to the fact,
that there is sure cuIe for dyspepsia,
indigestion, constipation, liver and kid
ney troubles, and that medicine is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t should be
taken at the very first symptom, if you
would avoid unnecessary suffering. 1t
will give prompt relief and eventually
cure, as hundreds of people, including
many prominent physicians, have testi-
fed during the past fifty years.

Scrofula

Is disease as old as antiquity, and as
young as the newest born infant.
1t has infested the blood of humanity
from ancient times down to the pres
ent minute.
1t is hereditary or may be acquired.
1t appears in swollen glands, scrof-
ulous sores, hip disease, boils, pimples,
eruptions, and, as believed by high
authorities, even in the forms of catarrh
and rheumatism.
1t can be cured by taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla faithfully and persistently.
We know this, because Hoods
Sarsaparilla has done it.
1t will cure you if you give it trial.
You should begin to take it today.

THE Chinese government having
refused to surrender or decapitate
certain high officials who had promi
nent parts in the recent Boxer insar-
rection, the foreign powers will I'M
dertake another expedition against

of indifference to the Chinese aristo-
Gratis how many Of their humble fellow
citizens are killed, but civilized peo-
pie are protesting against this whole
sale slaughter of heather by Christian
nations. Our own government, which
is not very squeamish about killing
the FilipinOs,is baking on the Chinese
massacres and may not participate in
the new movement.
Altogether, the wars now being
