Chicago, Ill, nov. 1S-Mr. r. A.

OF this city, whose opinion on legal mat
tiers is unquestioned, has recently made

there is no case Of the kind that cannot
be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
He has no fear of being set right by
any of his medical friends, for both
statements have a living and indisputa-
BILE proof in the person of the great
lawyer himself, who as a result OF
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble, from
which he suffered for years, became
totally blind.
Physicians, the best in the country,
pronounced his case incurable and
hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
him, restored his sight, drove away the
Kidney Trouble, and with it the Rheu-
matism, and made an all-round well
man of him.

ST. Jacosls OIL for Chest Colds, Bron-
chitis, Group, and Pleurisy.


An outward application for bronchial
difficulties is many times far more eff
fectiye than syrups, cough mixture, cod
liver oil, etc, simply because it pene-
trates through to the direct cause,
which is, as a rule, an accumulation Of
matter or growth tightly adhered to
the bronchial tubes
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
enables it to loosen these adhesiOns and
to induce free expectOration. Cases
have been known Wnere eXpectOrations
have been examined after st. Jacobs
Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly Shown, where
the adhesiOns had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All irri-
tation Of the delicate mucous mem
brane of the bronchae is quickly re-
moved by the healing and soothing
properties of st. Jacobs Oil. In cases
of Group and whooping cough in chill
dren st. Jacobs Oil will be found su-
perior to any other remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout
the world. 1t is clean to use-not at all
greasy or oily, as it's name might inn
ply. For rheumatism, govt, sciatica,
neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago,
sore throat, bronchitis, soreness, stiff
ness, bruises, tOOthache, headache,
backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shout
ders, pains in the limbs, and~all bodily
aches and pains it has no equal. 1t
acts like magic. Safe, sure, and never

pain of forfeiting the weapons and
paying a fine of $50 or being imprison-

was holding court in a little town,
when suddenly he suspended the trial
of a case by ordering the sheriff to
lock the doors of the court mouse.

jury and indict him, but if that man
will walk up to this stand and lay his
pistol and fine of 81 down here,
will let him off this time"
The judge paused, and a lawyer sit
ting just before him got up and slipped
his hand into a hip pocket, drew out
a neat ivory handled six-shooter, and
laid it with 81 upon the stand,
''This is all right" said the judge,
''but you are not the man / saw with
, the pistol"
Upon this, another lawyer arose
and laid down a Colts revolver and q
dollar bill before the judge, who re
peated his former observation. The
process went on until 10 pistols Of all
kinds, sizes and shapes lay upon the
stand, together with $40 by their side
The judge laughed as he complimented
ed the 10 delinquents upon being men
of business but he added that the man
whom he had seen with the pistol had
not yet come up, and glancing at the
far side of the court, he continued
'T'll give him one minute to accept

hand him over to the sheriff.
Immediately two men from the back
of the court house arose and began tC

they stopped to look at each other
and then coming slowly laid down
their pistols and their dollars. AS
they turned their backs the judge

WORDS TO HUNTERS.


The recently newly awakened in.
terest in the life and times Of King
Alfred, due to the celebration of the
thOusandth anniversary of his death
and the placing of a statue at his
birthplace, has resulted in some inter
esting information on the evolution OF
the sportsman. One may see, by re-
viewing the customs and conditions of
Alfred's time, how it was that hunting
came to be regarded as the nOblest Of
all amusements. 1t was absolutely
necessary to the safety and welfare Of
the people that the wolves, bears, wild
bears and other dangerous animals
which then roamed over England
should be exterminated, and of course
the king and his knights, as the
bravest and best armed of the fighting
population, were setting a good ex-
ample and doing good service in their
hunting parties. These conditions
continued for some hundreds Of years
and the nobility Of the sport of hunt
ing became firmly established and
hedged about with many traditions as
to the proper method of killing the
game. The persistence of traditions
in England is proverbial, and hence,
after the whole country became as
safe as a barnyard, people continued
to suppose that there was something
essentially courageous and fine in deer
stalking and grouse shooting.
The question now confronted by
the intelligent American citizen is
this, whether it is necessary for new
country to take over the ideas and
conventions of it's parent on this sub
ject. Are we to consider nan a
sportsman because he kills rabbits
and pigeons, as his father killed bears
and panthers? Is the man who takes
his sport with rod and gun any more
manly or brave than the one who arms
himself with a camera or a micro
scope? The Englishman would prob
ably say yes, because he was brought
up to believe so.
The fact seems to be, however, that
mere ability to go popping about with
a gun does not constitute sportsman

countering the stag at bay with the
primitive weapons Of his day, GER
