WIT ON THE HUsTINGs.
Effective Retort Made by Alexander
Stephens Of Ceoruia.


Few men possessed more tact and
wit when on the hustings than did
Alexander II. Stephens OF Georgia.
Though small in size, he had won
derfully prolific brain and was re-
sarded as an exceptionally brilliant
orator. A Georgian tells this story:
Mr.. Stephens was slated for a
joint debate with Rance Wright dur
ing a presidential campaign. Wright.
by way of a tale, said that Stephens
had said he could eat himself
(WrighD for breakfast. Ben Hill for
dinner and Bob Toombs for supper.
Mr.. Stephens possessed very little
storage room IN his stomach. and
when it came his turn to reply he
said that he denied that he had made
any such assertion. II l had con-
templated any such feast said Mr..
Stephens. I certainly would have TAX
ell Ben Hill for my breakfast, Bob
Toombs for dinner and my friend
Rance Wright for supper. My mother
taught me from early infancy TO eat
light supper. and SO l would have
tipped off with Wright
THE answer completely snuffed out
the good impression Col. Wright had
made"

"One day last week." observed the
man who has bachelor apartments, "a
chap who bore all the marks of pro-
fessiOnal hobo presented himself at
my door and begged for pair Of old
shoes. AS evidence that he really
needed them he extended foot for
my inspection. The utterly dilapidst-
ed condition of his foot covering was
proof enough, and Immediately root
ed out a pair of old shoes from my
closet and handed them over witt the
want.
"A few minutes later had occasion
to leave my rooms, and as l walked
down the street and turned the corner
at Seventh avenue ! noticed ahead OF
me the man to whom had just given
the shoes. l followed him, not out of
curiosity, but because my course lay
in that direction. Before long | saw
him enter a secondhand shoe store.
dark suspicion popped into my head.
and ! waited until the man came out.
Soon he appeared without the package
OF shoes which l had given to him
On his feet were the same battered
wrecks which had so moved me to
compassion. Confronting the impos
tor, l said somewhat angrily:
SO that's your little game, is it,
He recognized me Instantly, but iu.
stead OF being nonplussed he calmly
remarked. smiling facetiously: 'Wo.

beer-which is great deal better
than any beer we get here in America.

1t is much easier for woman to con6de
IN the average man than in the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
spect her condolences. and keep them to
himself He is strong. mas more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice There is every reason why
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons. 1t requires thorough medical
education to appreciate and understand
the womanly organism. When a woman
has ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman,
she should confide her troubles to a
physician Of standing in the community,
or one who has a national reputation. Ger
tainly it would not be the part of wisdom
medical education simply because she was
a sooman. There is every reason why she
should write to some great specialist, one
who has made the diseases of women a
specially for third of century, like Dr.
X. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. n. Y.
All his correspondence Is held sacredly con-
fidential, and he gives his advice free and
without charge.
So uniformly successful has DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that after curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
debilitating ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used with "Favorite Prescription. wLen-
ever laxative Is required.
