enemy as he looked at the good sword
OH the wall and vainly tried to raise the
impotent arm.
Words 1t has been said are fossil his

the leopard leobardns because they sup
posed the spotted creature was the joint

preserves it like fly in amber.
It is the same with the word rheuma-
tism. Its name implies that it was sup
posed to be a sort OF rheun, catarrhal
affection, such as results from a cold.
And while the treatment for rheumatism
was based on that theory 1t was small
wonder that cures were infrequent. To-

THE MODERN TREATMENT.
vOuite number of years ago, when /
was a girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of Sickness" writes
Mrs. P. M. Wheeler, of No. Ann Place,
Bradford, Penna. uHe had rheumatism
and a complication of troubles which
baffied the skill of three OF our best
physicians. All through the winter
months he lay upon his bed, suffering
severely at times with rheumatism IN his
limbs. While In this condition pani-
phlet containing description OF Dr..
Pierce's remedies fell into his hands. !
remember of his sitting up in bed and
reading it through and then exclaiming.
That medicine Is just what I need
lust then a neighbor came along who
was going to town and we sent for a
bottle Of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. We laid aside the doctors
medicines and commenced giving my
father the Golden Medical Discovery
according to directions. The first three
days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His
physician was surprised at the change In
his condition and candidly admitted that
the Golden Medical Discovery was
doing more for him than he had been
able to do. In less than two weeks my

Guilty Of 81 Murders.

Jane Toppan, murderess and degener-
ate, committed to Taunton InsGne
hospital Boston, Monday as the outcome
of trial, wherein she was found not
guilty of murder by reason of insanity
in poisoning Mrs. Mary ID. Cribs. of
Calumet, has killed at least 30 other
persons, according to her own confes-
sion. A nurse by profession. enjoying
the confidence of an unlimited acquaint-
anceship, of seeming livabie disposition,
skilled in the uses of medicines, especial
ly of narcotics, she was at heart a
maniac, whose delight was to see her
patients writhing in deaths agony.
And her work did not stop there for,
having baffied medical skill SO that the
attending physician would assign a
natural cause of death, she would seem
to recover her normal mental poise and
sorrow with the living for the loss Of a
loved one.
Jane Toppan's crimes were revolving
beyond all description, but the details
perhaps will never be known, for the
lips Of her counsel are sealed. Her con
fession was not made as story oi
wholesale murder, but has been drawn
out little by little when her counsel has
talked with her in Barnstable Jail.

Stone Throwing.

4 propensity to throw stones regard
less of consequences has been one of
the earliest signs of natural deprayity
among men since time began and, we
fear. must continue that way until the
millennium ushers in the era when bad
boys are no more and stones are con-
fined to their proper and legitimate
uses.
Anyway, the mischief wrought by
this vicious and execrable habit looms
up into serious proportions when the
figures are given out by plate glass IN
surance men showing that it costs not
less than $250,O00 a year to make good
the losses thus caused by reckless boys
in this country alone.
With stone throwing costing $2oO,OOO
a year, carelessness in setting fires cost
ing hundreds OF millions more and
needless accidents causing immense
sacrifice of property, the good people
have many bills to foot which ought
not to be theirs.-Leslie's Weekly.

HIS HORSES WE'RE WOODEN
But All the Same He Had TO Pay For
n IiverN License.

a Livery License.
AS his honor sat on the bench from
which even handed justice was dis
pensed in the town OF Lavilla, which
fiourished way down in Florida before
the days of Greater Jacksonville, he
was amazed to note among the prison
ers at the bar ''paleface."
Casting the eagle eye of the law over
the room, he was agitated still more to
observe a billed" shirt and standing
collar and that these were worn by an
other white man.
The marshal, being called on, explain
ed that one white gentleman was ar
rested by him for running a flying
jimmy" without license, and the other
was his lawyer. To man cast in a
less heroic mold than the mayor such
complete smashing of all records and
invading of precedent would have been
a Waterloo. A white man arrested in
Lavilla and a lawyer appearing to
plead in its court! To what are we
coming?
Repressing all signs of such strain
on his judicial composure, the mayor
announced that to fittingly mark so
great an occasion he would disregard
the calendar and take up the white
mans case first
The lawyer demanded the immediate
discharge of the prisoner on the ground
that there was no ordinance requiring
'fying jimmy" to pay a license and
threw the court on its "beam ends by
asking for a copy Of the ordinance
book.
No one had seen it in years. Many
doubted if there had ever been one. y
whispered consultation was held be
tween the mayor and the marshal and
a seal IN instituted which revealed the
book. with a brick on top of it, supply
ing the place of a missing leg of the
stove.
After looking vainly through the
book for law on flying jinnies" his
honor delivered judgment as follows:
Ordinance No. II requires all keep
ers of livery stables to pay license Of
$40 and imposes a fine of twice the
amount for running without license.
The defendant must pay both theNfine
and the license"
But" objected the lawyer, "this
man don't run a livery stable; he runs
flying jimmy"
HE keeps horses for hire. doesn't
he:"
Yes, but they are wooden horses.
and he charges a nickel for one ride"
"The ordinance makes no fine distinc-
ton. 1t says livery stables require a
license. A livery stable is a place where
horses are kept for hire. 1t makes no
difference whether they are wooden
horses or meat horses. Next case, Mr..
