CRAZY DAISY.
Health and Beauty,

A poor complexion is usually the re-
suit of a torpid liver or irregular action
of the bowels. Unless natures refuse
is carried off it will surely cause i'm
pure blood. Pimples, boils and other
eruptions follow. This is natures
method of throwing off the poisons
which the bowels failed to remove.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers are world
famous for remedying this condition.
They stimulate the liver and promote
regular and healthy action of the bow
els but never cause gripping, cramps or
distress. They are safe pills. G.. La

Stamp Novelty.

Stamp collectors have novelty in the
shape Of Cape Colony stamps issued In
that portion Of the colony that has been
annexed to the South African repub-
lie, for time at least. These are the
regular issue Of British stamps. across
the face Of which have been stamped
the letters "S. A. r." and the value Of
the stamp in Boer coinage. Dealers
have not yet been able to secure thes.
specimens, in any number at least. and
there is fancy value attached to the

quantity until some one ascertains how
many of them have been issued.-New

After years of patient and intense

count of her case:
II had been sick for long time,
when friend urged me to try DIR.

Previous to this three doctors had
treated me. They diagnosed my trouble
as heart disease, together with con
sumption, and prescribed accordingly.
All this medical treatment did not
benefit me in the least. / was in a
terrible condition. There was scarce
ly any blood left in my body. NY
chief trouble was weakness, and after
laborious efforts to get up stairs I
almost went into faint and on sew
eral occasions thought / was going to
die.
so little blood had ! that my ears
were almost transparent, and my
complexion was as white as sheet.
I can scarcely describe my senations,
but after repeated treatment by my
physicians L became thoroughly dis
couraged.
1T was at this time that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills were recommended
to me, and procured bx. Before
I had finished it I began to feel the
benefit to my health. This gave me
encouragement, and / began sys-
tematic course according to directions.
At the end of the seventh or eighth
box, in addition to having sufficient
quantity and better quality of blood
in my veins l was relieved of that
shortness of breath and quick heart
action which had been my chief trou-
BILE. My appetite returned, and I was
enabled to do my daily duties with a
cheerfulness which had never before
experienced. / always, as prevent
i've, keep box of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in my room. They are all they

ALL MET WITH MISFORTUNE

6uperstition Relative to the Number
Thirteen SinEu1arly Verified.
IL would not sit down to dinner In
party of thirteen" said broker who
is credited with plenty Of "herse sense"
''for the simple reason that don't In
tend to give coincidence . chance TO
play into tho hands Of superstition.
Moreover, have had one very disa-
greeable experience along that line. In
the early spring Of 1896 was one OF
. bachelor party gotten up to give the
usual send-off to q friend about to COM
NIT matrimony. There were fifteen OF
us in the crowd, but At the last moment
two were called away. That reduced
us to the fatal number. which nobody
noticed until we were seated at the
table. when q desperate effort was made
to scare up another guest. but no one
could be found. So we laughed tho
matter OF and went on with the fun,
but there was q palpable undercurrenf
of depression and several OF the boys
acquired lachrymoss tags-which, next
to the English comic newspapers, are
saddest things in the world.
IL yeu are not familiar with the
terms I will explain that lachrymoss
jag Is the stage Of inebriety at which .
man tells you the story Of his life and
weeps on your shoulders at intervals OF
six months in the narrative. However,
to get to the point, two Of the fellows
present died In 1895, and the way the
circumstance denorafzed nearly all the
others was simply amazing. In several
of them 1t Effected total change In dis
position. The death Of distant rela-
tives, petty misadventures In business,
occasional attacks Of sickness and q
hundred and one other incidents Of
everyday life were all charged up to
the blight Of thirteen, and finally, about
q year and q half later, I became 30
tired Of hearing that sort Of stories that
I took the pains to collect statistics on
another stag party given within q few
weeks Of ours. An even dozen had
been present and the net result was:
Two deaths, three business failures,
one lost leg and one lost an eye in &C.
cidents, one embezzler skipped out, one
divorce and two men gone to the dogs
through drink. This was not a party OF
hoboes, either, but average chaps about
town, and their catalogue Of disaster
put IN end to further croaking over our
thirteen supper. All the same, don't
yearn for repetition Of the experience.

ANeopors or LORD wolsELEY,

How He Helped to Clear Up . Post.
ONCE I'm the Soudan.
Any one who has known what It IL
to wait day after day in some out Of
the world nook for letters which were
all the time safely reposing in some ne
elected corner of sleepy postoffice can
appreciate the story that is told Of
Lord Wolseley by Mr.. Nourse. who
was with her Majesty's forces through
the Soudan campaign. s
At Kori Nourse went into the post
Office to look for some letters. The post
master was a native and not much
used to handwriting. He made super
Acial examination Of big pile Of let
tiers and papers, and said there was
nothing for the applicant. Nourse asked
to see the pile of letters. and while he
was looking them over a man with
nothing to designate his rank came
into the Office. He took in the situation
at a glance.
Lets clear this thing out" he said.
They jumped on the counter and pro-
ceeded to ''clear it OUT by first bun
ding out the postmaster. Then they
began a careful examination Of the
postoffce, and found it congested with
mail for the army. They searched ev-
cry nook and Granny, throwing the let
tiers for each regiment into a different
pile and heaping up all the newspapers
In the center Of the room. Then they
went through each pile and separated
1t into companies. Before night every
letter was In camp and distributed. and
the next day the papers were out.
Nourse did not know the name Of his
companion In the benevolent deed, and
when he asked the answer was, "They
call me Charlie"
Some time after Nourse found 1t nee
essary to see the commandant, and.
sitting near the tent to which he had
been directed, he saw his companion of
the postoflce.
Hello, Charlier' he said. 'I'm look
ing for the commandant. Where shall
l find him?'
"Well." said Charlie. you won't have
to look far. I'm the commandant.
Come inside and have a bite to eat and
drink"
1t was Lord Wolseley.-Youth's Com
panion.
