that the telegram had come ahead 30 ne stuck
II in his rack and waited
Late in the afternoon another telegram came,
this time TO the postmaster himself Then the
postmaster began to ask questions. NO one had
seen the man i'm town. About dusk a party went
IN the old mansion for the purpose of looking
around for clews. They found the horse hltched
behind the house. The animal had gnawed all
the bushes in reach and it could be seen that
he had been there some time.
of course the next step was TO open the tomp'
and when the door was pushed back the heir
was pushed back with it, He was lying against
the portal with the jug cIinched in his hand, and
he was fully as dead to the world as his VEN
cradle ancestor in the leaden coffin Both were
preserved in the same fluid, applied in different
fashion Ii took the doctor several hours TO
sober the heir Off-a more gigantic load was
never accumulated in town But the physician
saws that probably if the man had not had that
rum at hand during his wait in that tomb. he
would have been taken out raving lunatic.
Therefore at least prominent Maine man,
without abating his temperance principles, can
admit truthfully that Jamaica rum has its uses
and this doesn't simply mean employment as
pickle for ancestors

Those who had occasion to visit the Erie
Basin. Brooklyn. where the United States army

recently. found that there is a threc-cent troll

Does it have its power house,
"Oh, no, The company buys its power from
the rapid transit company. guess it gets il
pretty cheap, for it let's the company use its
tracks at the ferry"
The line belongs to the Van Rrunt street and
Erie Basin Railroad Company. and it runs in
Van Brunt-st from Hamilton Ferry to the
Erie Basin wharves.
'Poor's Manual" says the length of the line is
one and one-quarter miles; that the company
operates three miles of track-which includes
the double tracks of its main line two and 4
half milcs-and owns six open and six closed

No NOXiOus Doses. A Pleasant
and Positive Cure for the
Liquor Habit.

1t is now generally known and
understood that Drunkenness is
a disease and not weakness. A
body filed with poison, and
nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of in
toxicating liquors, requires an
antidote capable of neutralizing
and graduating this poison, and
destroying the craving for III
tOxicants. Sufferers may now
cure themselves athome without
publicity or loss of time from
business by this wonderful
Home Gold Cure" which has
been perfected after many years
of close study and treatment of
inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this
wonderful discovery is positively
guaranteed to cure the most
obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records
shows the marvellous transfor-
nation of thousands of Drunk
ards into sober, industrious and
upright men.
Wives cure your husbands
Children cure your fathers! This
remedy is in no sense a nostrum
but is a specific for this disease
only, and is so skillfully devised
and prepared that it is thorough
ly solubly and pleasant to the
taste, SO that it can be given in
a cup of tea or coffee without the
knowledge of the person taking
it. Thousands of Drunkards
have cured themselves with this
priceless remedy, and SO many
more have been cured and made
temperate men by having the
"cure," administered by loving
friends and relatives without
their knowledge in coffee or tea,
and believe today that they dis
continued drinking of their own
free will. Do not wait. Do not
be deluded by apparent and mis-
leading improvements" Drive
out the disease at once and for
all time. The Home Gold Cure"
is sold at the extremely low price
of one dollar, thus placing within
reach of everybody a treatment
more effectual than others cost
ing $25 to $50. Full directions
accompany each package. SPECIAL
advice by skilled physicians when
