fore has been in regard to what is the
best thing to take. The people have
low become unanimous in their de-
cision thatas q springton andrestor-
ative, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve INDEPENDENTLY the best.
Year afteryearDr Greene'sNervura
blood and nerve remedy has proved
itself the surest, most positive n
reliable remedy. Made from pure
vegetable medicines, it invariably
cleanses. purifes and enriches the
blood, making the blood rich and red,
and at the same time, by its lnvlgor-
ating effects, giving strength, power,
vitality and energy to the nerves.
In fact, DIR. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy has PROVED itself
the most perfect of medicines and
lust what everybody needs for a
spring remedy. Try it this spring.
Mr.. Stoughton L. Farnham OF Man
chester, N. H., says:
.sSome time ago I was troubled
with lassitude and a feeling of ia
tigue. 1 did not have the ambition
to do anything that demanded un
usual physical exertion.
81 was recommended by a friend to
try DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. I took two or three
bottles and am prepared to say that
it did me good. l can recommend 1T
as a tonic, as I know it helped me-"
Remember DR.. Greene's Nervura

THE BOY
Gov. Stewart Of Missouri Had Met
This Man Before Under DIFF
ferent Circumstances.

"A re" years ago, whlle Robert
Stewart was governor of Missouri,
a steamboatman was brought in from
the penitentiary as an applicant for
a pardon, says the indianapolis
Sentinel. He was a large, powerful
fellow, and when the governor looked
at him he seemed strangely affected.
He scrutinized him long and closely.
Finally he signed the document that
restored the prisoner to liberty. Be-
fore he handed it to him he said:
"You will commit some other crime,
and be in the penitentiary again, T
fear" The man solemnly promised
he would not. The governor looked
doubtful, unused a few minutes and
said: "You will go back on the river
and be a mate again, I suppose?"
The man replied that he would.
"Well, I want you to promise me one
thing" resumed the governor. II
want you to pledge your word that
when you are mate again you will
never take a billet of wood in your
hand and drive q sick boy out of q
bunk to help you load your boat
on a stormy night" The steamboat
man said he would not, and inquired
what the governor, meant by asking
him such a question. The governor
replied: Because some day that
boy may become a governor, and you
may want him to pardon you for a
crime. One dark, stormy night,
many years ago, you stopped your
boat on the Mississippi river to take
on a load of wood. There was a
boy on board who was working his
passage from New Orleans to St.
Louis, but he was very sick of fever
and was lying in a bunk. You had
plenty of men to do the work, but
you went to that boy with a stick
of wood in your hand and drove him
| with blows and curses out into the
wretched night and kept him toiling
like a slave until the load was COM
pleted. I was that boy. Here is
your pardon. Never again be guilty
of such brutality" The man, cow
ering and hiding his face, went out
without a word. What a noble re-
venge that was, and what a lesson to
a bully!

STAMPS AFFIXED BY MACHINE
Slot Devices in All Post Offices
of Country.

AS q result of.the persistent objec-
lions Of persons to licking postage
stamps the French minister of posts,
telephones and telegraph instructed
the engineers attached to his depart
ment to design a slot-stamping ma
chine. Two types are now being ex-
perimented with. In one, after the
coin is inserted, the machine vets and
afixes the stamp automatically if the
letter is properly placed. The other
weighs the letter, shows the amount Of
postage required, and upon the inser-
ton of the price the stamp is printed
directly from linked plates. Both ma
chimes are speedy and reliable. Every
French post Office will be provided
with several as oon as they can be
manufactured.
