st. John, Kan, Nov. 18.-LThis town
has a genuine sensation In the case Of
little boy, the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mcbride. DR.. Lines, the at
tending physician, says:
Scarlet Fever Of very malignant
type brought this child very near to
death and when the fever left him, he
was semi-paralyzed in the right leg
and right arm. He also lost hearing
in his right ear and his mind was
much affected.
"His parents tried another treatment
for a time and when I was recalled /
found that he was having spells very
like Epilepsy and was very bad and
gradually growing worse. I advised
the use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and In
q short time the CHILD began to i'm
prove. Inside Of a week the nervous
spasms or epileptic seizures ceased al
together"
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a
sworn statement Of the facts and DR..
Jesse L. Lines has added his sworn
statement saying that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else cured the fits.

Two Standards.

One Of the strangest illustrations Of
the ups and downs Of fortune comes
from Paris. The facts are taken from
the New York Tribune:
A rich Partisan banker became re-
duced, through unlucky investm ents,
to the sum Of ten thousand francs.
That amount was poverty to him, and
overwhelmed by his loss and the hope
lessness Of the situation, he committed
suicide.
The ten thousand francs then fell
to his brother, who had been for years
pauper, estranged from his family.
But to him such a sum represented
incredible Hches, and his reason was
overthrown. In moment of delirium
he jumped into the Seine and was
drowned.

L.
study for the career of a civil en-
gineer When q years old he had
machine shop in his native town. He
studied machinery and his opportunity
came when the shoe stitching machine,
invented by L. r. Blake, proved to be
an utter failure. He bought the patent
outright and perfected machine
which has revolutionized the shOemak-
ing industry. This machine did away
with the little cobbler shops, with their
pegs and wax ends, and opened up big
factories. In few years every man,
woman and child in America, who
wore shoes, paid tribute to him, and
Mckay gained millions.
McKay's partner was Robert III.
Mathes, a practical man Of inventive
genius. When the war broke out in
1851 they offered to the government,
something unheard Of, machine made
shoes for the army. In less than ten
years it is estimated that more than
100000 pairs Of boots and shoes In
America had paid royalty to Mckay
and his companies. In 1873 he formed
the Mckay Sewing Machine Associa-
ton, and in series of lawsuits de-
feated all rivals, established his
patents and became the central power
in one of the greatest monopolies.
Gordon Mckay married Miss Minnie
Treat, Of Cambridge, many years
younger than himself They lived to-
gether only few years. There were
two sons, who have always been with
their mother. Mrs. KcKay finally Sc
cured divorce, and became the wife
of Adolph A. Won Bruening, an at
tache Of the German embassy at
Washington, and now charge d'affaires
Of the German legation to the Sultan
Of Morocco. Mckay, who had always
been attached to his wife, sent her
jewels and other gifts on her wedding
day, and, it is said, gave her a check
for 100000. The Kaiser became
angered at such attention, and the
young man was in the background for
several years. Then, through family
influence in Germany, he was restored
to favor, after having returned to Mr..
Mckay the money given his wife.
Mr.. Mckay did much good with his
money. He educated a number Of
young women abroad in music, gave
generously to Harvard college and
founded a training college in Rhode
Island for negroes, which college bears
the name Of the Mckay institute. He
was a good violinist and left large
collection Of musical instruments. It
is understood that the greater part Of
his estate will go to Harvard Univer-
sity, including his large library. His
next to kin are Mrs. Dexter and Miss
Catherine Dexter, of Boston.

Everybody knows the great value OF
this remedy in the household, but every
body does not know that the limitations
of it, which some second-class druggists
dishonorably palm off on their custom
ers. have little or no value. What should
be understood by the public is that it is
not mere question of comparative value
between "Vaseline" and the limitations,
but that the limitations do not effect the
wond erful healing results Of the world
renowned "Vaseline," and that they are
way. Besides this, many Of the imita-
tons are harmful, irritant and not safe
to use, while true Vaseline is perfectly
harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the Chesebrough Manufacture
Ing Co. Attention is called to their
Capsicum Vaseline, advertised in another

Boys Who lake Money.

A striking example of what ener-
getic and hustling boys can do in a
business is illustrated by Charles and
Russell Anspach, of this place, who
own a fourishing grocery business on
Whittelsy street.
The boys, twelve and nine years of
age, started with capital Of q cents,
their first venture being the selling
of candy and oranges from a small
stand placed in the yard. They were
patronized by their neighbors and
friends, and within month of the
opening, March 10, Of this year, were
able to build a small shed, where they
kept stock Of groceries.
They began a system Of bookkeep-
ing, bought and delivered their own
groceries, and by clever advertising
soon attracted the attention Of the
public. Their fresh goods, courteous
manner, and energetic methods com
bined to bring plenty of customers,
and, prospecting, they We're able to
erect a little store, which is stocked
with a line of groceries complete in all
details.
The boys own a little red delivery
wagon, and can be seen early and late
catering to their customers. They
are the sons of Mr.. and Mrs. 2. N.
Anspach, and their ambition is to be
the proprietors of the largest grocery
store in Sandusky county.-Fremont

from which he was graduated in the
class of 1878. He was admitted to the
bar of the supreme court of Indiana
in 1879 and Immediately entered upon
the: practice Of his profession. In 1881
he was given the degree of A. M. by his

clined to hold public office of any kind.
A few years ago Mr.. Miller became
