A NARROW ESCAPE.

Bath, N. Y, Sept. 16th.-There is
now at the Soldiers and Sailors
Home here an old soldier who has
been nearer death than anyone who
has lived to tell the story.
His name is A. E. Ayers. For many
years he lived in Minneapolis, Mimi,
where he is well known.
Four physicians of that city once
told Mr. Ayers that he could not live
four days. He had Brights' disease.
AS last resort he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He is strong and well
to-day.
He says: ST was in the very pres
ence of death but Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved me. They are the greatest
medicine in the world"

"The Spring of Providence"

In the darkest days of the civil war,
the hearts of the union soldiers, con-
fined as prisoners in the Anderson
vile stockade, were cheered by the
bubbling of fountain which came
to be known as ''The Spring of Provi-
dence." Recently, a fountain of Ital-
ian marble was erected and dedicated
over the spot where the original
spring was situated, by the National
Association of Union ex-Pris oners of
War. The fountain bears, beautiful
ly carved on it's front, as an inscrip-
ton, the immortal words of Lincoln:
"With malice toward none; with char
ity for a11."-Success.

Telling Trees by Sound.

How many trees can you distin-
guish in the dark by the sound which
the wind makes in blowing through
their leafy branches? Few practical
exercises in botany are more inter-
esting than the. attempt thus to iden-
tify trees. Every man should be his
own detective to the extent of let
ting passing sounds tell him as much
as possible of what he cannot see.

Big Forgery of Railroad Tickets.
Az <f4 L.

AS result or the arrest, on August 10, OF
e ticket brokers' concern at st. Louis,
charged with swindling customer, gigan-
tic railroad ticket counterfeiting scheme
was uncovered. After the arrest of the
brokers their office was ransacked and an
immense, number of tickets and passes found.
1t was almost impossible to place an esti-
mate on the value of the tickets recovered,
but it is stated by railroad authorities that
$50, 900 would be a conservative figure. 1t is
believed that many of the tickets and passes
were forged.
At Buffalo number of ticket scalpers
have already been lodged in jail on account
of fraudulent manipulation and forgery of
railroad tickets. These instances are so
numerous the public should take pains to
see that their tickets are purchased only
at the authorized offices of transportation
lines. This avoids all complication and
trouble to the passenger and assures him
that the railroad tickets purchased are
valid and will be honored as printed
change.

1ooIng away precious time with other
remedies, no man can tell. But it is al
most certain that it would have ended
in incurable Bright's disease of the kid
neys, which sooner or later would have
proved fatal.
Peruna is a sure cure for incipient
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Taken
in the early stages of this disease, it
cures permanently. Bright's disease
always begins with catarrh of the kid
neys. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.

MIRACLES OF TODAY
The Wonderful Stories of Two peo-
pie Saved from Horrible Death

It probably never occurred before that two people
horribly afflicted in entirely different ways, and living
far apart were mracuously rescued from the very jaws
of DEATH by the same means and almost at the same
time The stories of George Hernman of Buffalo, and
Mrs George W. Sharp, of Washington, Kan read like
the wonders of Divine interference Let them tell their
experience in their own plain, truthful language:

every one of these officers was
stickler for dress and discipline. AS
we went by some of them smiled and
some of them looked on with proud,
sympathetic eyes. There were scores
of other officers in the reviewing
group, and one of them said: See those
poor fellows with bare legs To this
Gen. Sherman replied: Splendid legs.
Splendid legs. 1 would give both of
mine for any one of them
'To my mind the old army never
showed to better advantage than on
that day. The ragged clothes, bare
legs and feet were so many testimo-
malls of the high soldier spirit that
carried men through all sorts of trials
and privations. There was no grum-
bling, and after the long march the
men were as ready for fight and as
efficient in fight as before the march
began. Whenever think of the army
as it was before Goldsboro there
comes into my mind another scene in
which single East Tennessee farmer
stood as type of thousands of men
whose devotion to the union cause was
as true as that Of Sherman's men in
the Carolina swamps."

at Georgetown Monday. Judge
Cantrill refused to vacate the
bench on the affidavit of Caleb
Powers, and has called the case for
trial. He says the affidavit should
have been filed before any action
was taken in the case by the trial
Judge. 1t is the general belief
that the case will go to trial.
