HistoryEth atrwill Live for Ages to
Come

During the past two years it is an
absolute fact that DIR. j. w. Morrow of
AZ Church st. Burlington, VT. has made
some of the most astounding and won
derful cures ever recorded to any one
man in the practice of medicine, and it
should be further remembered that every
one of the following cases where the
writer has carefully investigated, has
been doctored by many other physicians,
many of them in the hospitals of Burl-
ington, Boston, Montreal and elsewhere,
and have been given upas incurable, today
are living, walking testimonials of Dr.
Merrow's skill.
Below we mention few of the many
severe cases which he has cured during
the past two years since he located in
Vermont and would space permit every

equally astounding cures as the follow
ing:

BUFFALO HAD TO CLIMB.
Am Exceptional Case, According to
the Narrator, Who Was Descend
cd from Ananias.

A near relation to the late Baron
Munchausen on the maternal side,
ineally descended from Ananias and
Sapphire, was telling party of friends
about freeing a bull buffalo in one of
the trees of California
THAT story lacks likelihood" re-
marked the man who knows every
thing, like so many other men; "the
buffalo belongs to the ruminant family,
has four or five stomachs and walks on
hoofs. 1t has no claws at all and could
no more climb tree than a Jersey
cow"
Gas a general proposition you are
right" said the story teller, with a per-
fectly unruffled mien, according to the
New York Times. "But this case was
quite exceptional. We were after the
buffalo with four of the most vicious
dogs that [ ever knew. One was boar
hound, one great dane, one psovie,
or wolf hound, and the other a regis
tered bulldog, with jaws like wrought
iron. Well. they brought the buffalo
to bay at the foot of big tree and
pressed him so blamed hard that he
just had to climb. That was his only
salvatio

AN OWLS ODD FIGHT.
Sample of the Wonderful Stories That
Brighten Life in Penn
syIvania Town.

Story telling is favorite pastime
winter nights in a comfortable sitting
room of one of the taverns of Susque-
hanna, Pa, says the New York World.
Many of the yarns spun are wonders.
Here is a sample:
AS Zach Chandler, a Deep Hollow
wood-chopper, was out on Turks Hill
one day last fall in search of game, he
saw what he supposed to be two birds
sitting upon the limb of red poplar
tree. Crouching and creeping ahead,
he hid behind stump, when he saw
the objects above him were evidently
two white owls. The owls were fight
ing savagely for the possession OF
ground mouse which they had cap
tured in an adjoining field.
The struggle was lively and noisy.
For moment the mouse could be seen
In the bill of one bird, then in the
claws of the other. There were loud
boots and shrieks, and feathers fell
from the tree into the underbrush.
Fearing that the game would fly away
and escape, Chandler fired at the OBJ
ject and it came tumbling down.
Chandler rushed forward, and was
amazed to find but one owl, yet it
had two heads and four legs and feet.
There was but one body. The two
heads had been fighting for the posses
sion of the mouse.
The freak bird was badly riddled
by shot, but Chandler had sense
enough to know that he had a valuable
curiosity, and he worked faithfully to
save it, but it gave up the ghost the
next day. One head appeared to be
lifeless half an hour before the other
one died

CLOTH MADE FROM ROCK.
Piece Eighteen Inches Square That
1t Had Taken q Ton of Rock
to Supply.

The weaving of stone into material
for clothing, the making of flexible
and lasting granite trousers, black
marble coats and faNcy onyx waist
coats may be a possibility of the flu
ture, the weavers say. Already cur
tains are made of asbestos and cloth
manufactured from chalk. while GER
tain spinner has an armchair covered
with soft and silky fabric of Titan
red which he wove toilsomely out of
a rock-red shell. The weaver, says the
Detroit Free Press, thus describes the
weaving: 81 threw ton of rock,
in Jumps as big as your head, into the
picker. The picker blades were dulled,
but the rocks were crushed and came
out good stock with a staple an inch
long like asbestos. This fluffy stuff I
threw into my carding ma chine, and
first it become a soft inch-thick rope.

at this point my mule took it and

rock to make it. / claim it is the first
cloth ever woven out of real rock in

NO SMOKING AT WHITE HOUSE,
Sign Has Been Posted in the Recep-
ton Room Bearing the
Notice.

The average congressman who goes
busting around from department to
department. is inclined to smoke where
he listeth and knock the ashes from
his cigar where he pleases, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. The practice is all
right for the ante-rooms of cabinet
officers, but President Roosevelt
thought it should not be carried into
the white house reception room. So
he gave orders to Arthur Simmons,
the colored doorkeeper from North
Carolina, to request gentlemen not to
smoke. Arthur Simmons had a num-
Der of strenuous interviews in carry
ing out his Instructions. Southern
and western congressman were fire.
quently moved to consign Arthur to
a superheated climate for his pains.
Arthur is one of the pillars of the
church in colored circles, and he final
ly complained to Secretary Cortelyou
that it panied him to hear gentlemen
using such violent language. At his
request the mo Smoking Allowed"
sign has been posted in the reception
room, and when gentlemen come in
with lighted cigars Arthur merely
looks meaningly toward the sign.

THE BRAVE WOLVERINE.
Animal Poss ess ed of Desperate Cour-
age and Endurance Famed
in Michigan.

Not ''little wolf" as the ignorant
think, is the significance of wolverine,
but something of greater dignity-an
embodiment of the terrible spirit Of
the wild fire of the prehistoric for
ests, says Outing. Wonderful in it's
strength and courage, tree climber
on occasion, not immense of size, but
with limbs and claws great, out of all
proportion to it's size, with a muzzle
almost hog-like, but with great white
fangs; the beast has still an element
of the grotesque in it's makeup, with
its sweeping, bushy tail and the broad
bands of yellow white upon it's back
and shoulders. Woe to the smaller
beast or the deer upon which it
dropped from some great low-hanging
branch, or before whom it suddenly
appeared in the dense windfalls.
Of all the continent the Michigan
peninsula was the chosen habitat of
the wolverine, and he struggled long
before backwoodsmen drove him from
heritage. So enduring was he, so
desperately courageous, that his name
became a synonym for pluck and
prowess, and proudly the people of
Michigan accept the nickname which
has been given them.

PREVENTIVE MEDICINES.
Enlightened People Are Always on
the Lookout for the Ounce
of Prevention.

In looking over the history of the
search for a means of cure one is
struck by the great value of the ounce
OF prevention. Keeping the germs out
is III every way preferable to dealing
with them after they have once en-
tered the body. This fact scientific
medicine is impressing more and more
deeply on the minds of public authori-
ties and the people, and their response
In the form of provisions for improved
public and private santa ton is one Of
the striking features Of the social
progressed the present time. All the
more enlightened nations, states and
cities of the world possess organized
departments of health, which, with
varying degrees of thoroughness deal
with the problems presented blythe in
fictitious diseases in the light of the
latest discoveries, says the Medical
News. Fifty years ago the term pre-
ventiye medicine was unknown. To-
day it represents great body of we'll
attested and accepted principles. It
has cleaned our streets; it has helped
to build our model tenements; it has
purified our food and our drinking
water; it has entered our homes and
kept away disease; it has prolonged
our lives, and it has made the world a.
sweeter place in which to live.

SELLS SMILES AND SERMONS.
"Lady of Quality" and Merchant in
London Engage in Novel
Enterprises.

In London one can buy z SER
mon for one dollar, and for five dol
lars one can learn to smile like Queen
Alexandra. The merchant who deals
in sermons has more than 1000 in
stock, and they are classified to suit
all tastes. Thus some are digniied,
others fiowery, others pathetic, others
long-winded, and some are even hui
morous, says the Detroit Free Press.
1t is "a lady of quality who gives
instructions in the art of smiling, and
she is said to have a host of pupils,
all of whom desire to smile like her
majesty, and who are assured that
they can learn the ert in three les
sons.
Another curious profession is that OF
a man who offers to sell absolutely
new anecdotes of the king and queen
at price ranging from 25 cents to
two dollars. For the authenticity of
these anecdotes he vouches, and
scarcely day passes that he does net
offer some new story.

Agent George H. Daniels has incorpor-
ated various suggestions made by bright
people, and he has tried to include in
these folders all that could reasonably
be put into such books.

MEDAL FOR GOOD NATURE.
Youth in School Receives Unusual
RecognitioR for Availability
and Urbanfty.

A medal for pure and unmitigated
good nature was awarded, not many
days ago, to youth in public school.
He had not made a noteworthy record
for progress in learning; he had not
even reached point beyond the aver
age among his fellows; he had simply
eclipsed them all in amiability of the
kind that accepted rewards or punish
ments with urbane and equal philoso-
ply, says Harper's Weekly. And the
fact that a medal was deemed not too
honorable for him under the circum-
stances is significant evidence of the
high esteem in which good nature is
held. How it does oil the creaking
wheels of life to be sure! How smooth
it makes the path! What a comforts
able and comforting companion truly
amiable person is, if he is only dog!
When everything and everybody else
have rutf1ed one the wrong way, and
made every individual set of injured
feelings one possesses stand up like
qulls upon the fretful porcupine, how
soothing to step into the atmosphere
of the amiable person! Serenity en-
ters, peace sets in. you laugh, he
laughs, the world turns rose-co1ored
again. Availability accomplishes what
no sermon could. 1t is an immeasur-
able influence for good. 1t is, there
fore, with satisfaction that we note
the presentation of a medal to the
@ood-natured boy. Why would it not
be valuab BILE custom to Introduce into
all our schools?
