THE BAKERS DOZEN.
Thirteen Reasons Explaining Popularity Of
the "Anchor" Clamp.

Thirteen Reasons Explaining Popularity Of
the "Anchor" Clamp.
A great deal is heard now about the
'anchor" fences that have sprung
into wide popularity of late. 1t is
claimed that they are the cheapest
and most durable fences on earth,
hence their general adoption. Mi
mute inquiry into details of construc-
ton reveals the fact that "anchor"
clamps hold (rivet tight) the large
wires of which the fence is made. thus
making the fence five times as strong
and durable as any other fence on the
market.
The manufacturers, The Portland
Anchor Fence Co., 742 Nicolai street,
Portland, Or, give a full baker
dozen reasons why the anchor
clamp is so efficient:
1. 1t is made of the best hoop steel,
therefore is strong and durable.
2. 1t is simple; can be applied by
any one.
8. It does what other ties pretend
to do-makes an immovable anchor.
4. 1t prevents loose and sagging
wires.
5. 1t keeps fence always in repair.
6. 1t prevents injury to stock.
Z. It makes fence that stock can
not break down.
8. 1t can be used on smooth OF
barbed wire.
8. 1t can be used for making new
or repairing old fences.
10. 1t is the only tie yet devised by
which fence can be made in any
manner desired, or repaired without
rebuilding.
IL. It makes the BEST and most
durable fence on the market.
IL. 1T is CHEAP.
Ii. Merit alone can stand the test
of time.
The company will send you an
illustrated book on the subject free, il
you write to them.

11oVO 49, -
Jack williams, of No. 401 Dela<
ware street, says the Kansas City,
Mo-, Journal, is we'll known - an on
terprising news agent and thorough
" reliable man. He had been SUI
ferer from kidney trouble and endured
much pain from it until recently,
when he tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and with such
success that within . short time he
was entirely and permanently cured.
To reporter he said:
"For two years had pains in the
back constantly, causing me serious
inconvenience. But / did not at
tempt to do anything for my COM
plant until the latter part of last
winter, when / saw an advertisement
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and decided to see what
they would do for me. Twas relieved
within one week after began taking
them; the pains disappeared and SO
complete was the cure that I have
not found it necessary to take further
treatment nor have / been troubled
at all by the disease SINCE"
Kidney complaint is an insiduous
disease. First come almost unnoticed
pains in the back and some slight in
convenience. The pains grow gradu-
ally worse and the inconvenience
greater till finally, if not given medi-
cal treatment, the person suffers awful
torture and becomes unfit to follow
his ordinary occupation. Blood p0is-
oning sets in, the constitution is
wrecked and death often results.
Mr.. William stock the one unfailing
remedy and was readily cured within
q few weeks. His statement was
sworn to before Lionel Noise, q no.
tary public, and the facts above will
bear the most searching investigation.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People will not only effect q cure in
cases similar to the one above, but,
acting directly upon the blood and
nerves. are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, after effects of the grip,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sal

weakness either in male or female.

Tho End Of tho Town


There was nothing about him to indi-
cate the crank. He was neatly but
not fashionably dressed. and his good
natured countenance was Of corpulent
order. says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. He glanced re6ectively out OF
the rear window Of Third avenue car
at the tall buildings along Park Row
and Broadway. and for moment look
ed serious.
'sToo much weight" he said to q fell
low passenger beside him, nOdding his
head in the direction Of the buildings.
"Too much weight entirely. People
don't seem to realize that the lower
portion Of this city is only a crust of
rock. with water Of great depth be-
meath 1t. They keep putting up build
ing after building Of great height and
weight, and some day there's going to
be the greatest catastrophe Of the ages.
The whole blooming lower part Of the
city, or q good portion Of 1t, will cave
in under the enormous strain put upon
it by these sky -scrapers. and the loss
Of life and property will be incalcula-

has to sustain. Millions of tons Of iron

of brick and mortar are used In con-
structing the buildings. to say nothing
Of the marble. granite and other kinds
Of stone. and all piled upon that frail
crust Of rock. which must give way
some day under the strain.
"Then, there's the bridge. too. 1t
can't last forever. Some day 1t Is 60
ing to break down under, the additional
strain put upon 1t by the trolley and
steam cars now running to Brooklyn.

with people; the promenade crowded
and trucks in steady stream. Sud-
denly one Of the cables gives way. The
other. unable to stand the strain alone.
