Do you remember the little things that
gave US so much pleasure when we were
young? With what zest did we sit down to
the table after our play was over and eat the
mush and milk our mother put before us.
But as we get older it takes more to give
us pleasure. Mush and milk no longer
tastes good to us, and our digestion may be
impaired. The best advice we can give to
such person is to tone up the stomach with
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 1t
is natures most valuable and health giving
agent-made without the use of alcohol. It
contains roots, herbs and barks, and is the
concentration of natures vitality as found
in the fields and woods. This remedy has
a history which speaks well for it because
il was given to the public by DR.. R. V.
Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, nearly
forty years ago, and has since been sold by
druggists iH ever increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tonics or compounds, en-
Joy large sale for few years, then disap-
pear from the public attention, but DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such a reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence of
several generations in a family, and its in
creased sales year by year coming from the
recommendations of those who have tried
it, prove its lasting merit, so that every
bottle bears the stamp of public approval.
Every other blood-maker and tonic for the
stomach that we know of contains alcohol,
but DR.. Pierce guarantees that no alcch u

the Marine band, struggling through
the evening concert on the piazza of
the San Marco, came family out to
them. Far across the bay a myriad
of twinkling lanterns shone among the
branches of the orange grove, where
the portly and misguided Mrs. Thorne
was giving her annual open air vaude-
vile for the associated charities.
Don't you feel the least qualms at

Mr.. HEFLlN'S FUN.
If Elected Might Cost Him His Seat

Ordinarily the Advertise does not
copy personal cards from other
papers, but in the case of Congress-
man j. I. Het1in an exception is
made, because he is the democratic
nominee in the fifth district, and fur
ther because there is some news in
it. His card in the Montgomery
Evening Journal of yesterday is
copied on this page.
1t will be observed that he admits
making the utterances at Tuskegee,
which the Advertisers staff CORES
pondent reported, and which the
next day were condemned in these
columns. Unfortunately, however,
he does not yet see that he COM
mitted any wrong; he makes very
little attempt at explanation, and
expresses no regret. In fact he
boastfully declares that he has no
apologies to make for his reflections
on the white people of Alabama
I'VE have way of influencing negroes
down here" etc.
The only explanation he makes of
his declaration that a bomb under
the dining table of President Roose-
velt and Booker Washington would
have done no harm is the very brief
assertion that it was in fun, and that
it created laughter. That is prob
ably an r-thought, but if he has
that sort of conception of fun he is
not man of wisdom, of prudence,
of self-control enough to be set up
as a leader of men. That sort OF
fun does not 60 in congress; he will
not be able to get bills through or to
protect the south from it's enemies
with such humor as that. 1t is to
be hoped that the explanation, poor
as it is, will be of some service to
democrats in the east and west, when
they are faced with this declaration,
but we fear that such will not be
| the case.
Mr.. Heflin says he will carry his
district by ten thousand majority.
We are not prepared to dispute it.
1t makes little difference about the
size of his majority. But it fire.
quently requires more than a demo-
cratic majority to seat man in con-
gress. If the house is republican he
might lose his seat even with ten
thousand majority. Those utter
ances of his at Tuskegee and this
very card, making little explanation,
expressing no regret, and boasting
of part of them, might cost him his
seat. He may be very humorous
speaker, but the next house might
not like his style of wit.-Mont-
gomery Ala. } Advertiser.

I was pinched and sent to Jail. For

Reynold. Painting siddon..

Some Of Reynolds methods were pc
culiar. He usually painted his sitters
from their reflection in a mirror and
not from direct view. He always re-
mained standing while at work, and he
rarely signed a portrait
One notable exception, however, was
made in the case of his magnificent
portrait of Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic
Muse. which was painted when the
master was sixty years old and when
Mrs. Siddons was twenty-eight. The
great actress, failing at first to recog-
nize sort Of embroidery which the art
ist had added to the edge of her robe,
soon perceived that 1t contained the
words, Joshua Reynolds, pinxit 1874, +"
whereupon Sir Joshua assured her that
he would be proud to have his name
go down to posterity on the hem of her
garment Before commencing this PIC
ture, the artist, instead Of posing the
sitter himself, requested Mrs. Siddons
to give him her own idea of the Tragic
Muse, and she Immediately assumed
the pose In which the picture was
painted.
