corners OF the battle monument, pulled
the fastening which unveiled the bronze
memorial Of the battle of Lake George.
AS the canvas which had hidden the

The bronze figures of the monument
were designed by Albert w. Einert, the
sculptor. and represent the Indian chief
tain, King Hendrick, demonstrating to
Gen. Johnson the futility OF dividing his
forces The figures which stand on a
granite pedestal are nine feet high. The

man aside and ran on to the place

the burden they had lowered to the
ground.

there.

anxious to do something.
"'Tain't no use. He had been dead

said one OF the other men.
And, indeed, it.was of no use; one
look at that face and figure told that
doctors had no power there.
But Martin would go; he had heard
OF people in frances, he said, and he
was going to have a doctor.
When the physician came he said
that he could do nothing; that Mr..

when a sudden death has occurred.

side OF an excavation he had made

A Tiaht Squeeze.


Brazils, Ark. May 11th.-To be
snatched from the very brink of TIT
grave is somewhat thrilling ex-
perience and one which Mrs. M. o.
Garrett OF this place has just passed
through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere-
broSpinal affection. and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest Improvement
For the last twelve months two
doctors were in constant attendance,
but she could only grow worse and
worse, till she could not walk, and
did not have any power to move at
all.
She was so low that for the greater
part OF the time she was perfectly
unconscious of what was going on
about her, and her heart.broken hus-
band and friends were hourly ex.
pecting her death
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought she could pos
sibly live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
for box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t
was a last hope, but happily 1t did not
fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of
the remedy and is completely cured.
She says:
Il am doing my own work now and
feel as well as ever ] did. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved me from
death"

toners were calling for rough wood In
Its natural state. without any orna.
mentation. They wanted canes made
almost as thin and as light as whan-
gees. So many cheap limitations had
been made of silyermounted smooth
wood canes that men of fashion would
not look at them. This year we are
returning to silver mounts, but in de-
signs made to order that 1t will be
almost out of the question for i'm
porters of CHI ar German silver to imi-
tate. In umbrellas the large handles
OF rough wood still hold favor with
the men. 1t is no longer fashionable
to decorate them with initials. A man
likes an umbrella that he can pick out
at sight from bunch of others at
his club or elsewhere. Some men viii
have the crooked handle so that they
can hang their umbrellas on a hook
in a hat rack, and we have to manu-
facture a few of them to meet the
demands of the trade. Women always
go in for something odd, and usually
