The Ianane.e Stable.

We can learn from the japanese a
thing or two about stabling horses. In
Japan horses are backed into their
stalls; then door is closed at the head,
which has q grain and hayrack con-
veniently constructed. to which the nag
is secured. When needed, the door Is
swung back and the horse led forth.
No one gets kicked, no refuse matter
is visible to the visitor, and 1t seems to
be a sensible way to construct a place
for any horse.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not grippe
nor weaken the system. They cure bilious
Hess, jaundice, constipation and inactive
liyers. by arousing the secretions, moving the
bowels gently, yet efiectually, and giving such
tone and strength to the glands Of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble
is removed entirely. These famous little pills
exert a decided tonic effect upon the organ in
volved, and iftheir use is continued for few
days there will be no return of the trouble.

A LETTER FROM Mr.. sTEEPEs

Brandon, Miss, December 2. .--Edi-
tor News: [ thought would write
you a letter and ask you to publish it
for the benefit of those who are suffer-
ing as have heretofore. I herded
cattle on the plains of Iowa
for five years, and contracted.
as | thought, consumption. My old
family doctor. McVeigh. advised me
TO come south, stating that I might
live four or five years longer. Acting
upon his instructions I sold out my
property in Iowa, and moved south to
a point near Fannin. Miss, where I
purchased piece Of land and tried to
farm, but my health was SO bad that
| had to abandon farm life. / turned
my place over to FL. A Busick, and
moved to his Holly Grove place, near
Brandon, Miss, thinking I could not
live another year. My kidneys did not
act without taking nitre, I had a
severe cough, and at times would Law
uE in bed for weeks at time, cough
ing my lung aways. The place being
short Of water, Mr.. Busick decided to
bore a we'll; after boring at several
place he finally struck water, now
known az Busick's mineral WE'LL At
first did not like the water, but was
impressed with the idea that il I
would drink it would be benefited.
After using the water for six or eight
month | was entirely cured of all my
Affections. | take pleasure in saying
that the water cured me, and feel as
young as ! did 40 years ago. May
God bless you and yours.
Most truly yours,
r. SIEELPES.
