The Diseased Spot, Cure is Easy,
System RenoVator Does This.
Guaranteed Cure.

Here's something new! Isn't it reason
able to expect that medicine that con-
tains ingredients that act on every vital
organ is sure to strike the diseased spot?
And that when it finds it, if it is power
full and scientifically formulated will
regulate and drive disease from this
affected spot? That's the new prime iple
in DIR. Merrow's great SYSTEM RENO
VATOR, explains why it cures all chronic
diseases, (tumors and cancers excepted)
when other treatments, that have been
guessing, have failed because they didn't
touch the spot, Banishes the lesser
troubles, indigestion, no appetite, tired
feelings, like magic. Makes you feel
splendid.q' No risk, every one of the fol.
lowing druggists will refund purchase
price after trial of the RENOVATOR,
if it proves unsatisfactory.

ne glanced ct thu Old Waterman,
Haily familiarity had made such coun.
els hackneyed TO him. With eyes upon
Elm she stole to the door In the center.
She turned the knob softly and tried It.
1t was locked. Smitten with her i'm
potency, she leaned against II and rat
tied the knob.
All at once she felt it giving. A key
had been turned from the inside. She
heard the reused doorkeeper shutting
toward her. heard his protestant whis-
per and tugged with all her strength
A buzz of talk that the stout panels
had deadened clnmored loud in her
ears. She saw nothing but a broad
aisle, above whose center hung an enor-
nous, many prismed chandelier, glanc-
ing back the sunlight
Tears burned her eyes to mist, and
her throat was choking Out of the
of the hall stupefied her with people.
The sound of voices rising as she had
entered stilled in an instant TO q silence,
broken by an exclamation and the taut
blow of gavel. She was dimly con
scious Of men--bewigged, dressed most
ly in black and snuff color, with white
neckcloths-one or two on their feet.
Her fingers under her cloak clasped
tight the precious packet-so tight she
could feel its ridges cut into her flesh
and a clammy faintness was upon her.
Suddenly this left her, and the jar
ring walls drew into place.
She was standing in the center of
square room, plain walled, with three
tall barred windows at each side hung
with green Venetian blinds. In front
of her was a raised, square rostrum
between great empty firepaces, and,
leaning over Its desk, an elderly man
gazing down. Surprise seemed carved
upon his features, and, looking, she
felt dreadful historical desire to
laugh.
Below on the floor and facing her
stood a short stout old man, with
bald head and fringe of white hair.
His kindly eyes, behind great iron
trimmed spectacles, gave her confidence
1t came to her in n flash that this was
the great DR.. Franklin
Quivering, she stood before him and
courtesied low Then she raised her
hand and gave him the packet.
Everything clouded after that and
the ground was swnying. She saw
him break the seal to unfold the paper
and start as he bent his eyes upon it..
Through the buzz of whispered curios-
ity she felt Il familiar voice strike,
speaking her name, and saw the sharp
features and foxy hair of Mr.. JeffeP-
son. His hand was drawing her to-
ward the entrance. She heard DR..
Franklin's voice, like great clear
organ note 81 will lift up mine eyes
unto the hills from whence cometh my
help"
Then, as they reached the doors, a
clamor on the other side-the sound Of
metal striking against the wood.
The hinges swung outward. She had
a momentary glimpse of Armand
standing i'll the corridor, white, di-
sheveled, broken sword in his hand
saw him starting back, and, as the
doors closed heavily behind her, she
felt herself sinking into blackness.
Louis, LOUISE She thrust the faint
ness back with a wall II could not
help it,
His eyes were sharp spears through
her heart, his voice like twisted agony

General Lord Howe sat one evening
n month later aboard the Duchess of
Gordon ant aored below Staten Island,
playing at draughts. His late surrender
of Boston to General Washington had
rufiled his equanmity. But now Gin

brother, Admiral Lord Howe. had hove

therefore, felt very comfortable again.
The generals opponent at the table,

from which he flcked the white ash
daintily with his little finger. AS he
sat, one felt his eyes, "A kind of cold,

other officer Sir Evelyn Clarke, sat
with legs wide apart near by. The
glazed sconces Were brilliantly lighted,
and the room rocked pleasantly as the

snluted.
"WelIY asked Lord Howe "Any

FIRST FUNERAL
BY the Cooperative Burial Association
of Pine Bluff.

BY the Cooperative Burial Association
Of Pine Bluff.
The funeral of Mrs Martha A. Dick
son was held yesterday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock from the family residence,
1906 South State street. Many friends
| followed the remains to their last
resting place in BellWoed cemetery.
This was the first funeral to be held
under the auspicies of the Cooperative
Burial association, organized in Pine
Blun over a year ago by Mr.. Ralph
Robinson the expert undertaken and
embalm ar The cooperative associa-
ton furnished all the funeral appoint
ments without cost to the family If
the deceased. The casket was a hand
some one, black cloth, with silver
handles and name plate and was one
of the finest ever seen in Pine Bluff.
The hearse and four carriages were
also furnished free. The lot in Bell
wood cemetery, where the body was
laid tC rest. was one owned by the
association The funeral was elegant
in every way in it's appointments.
Mrs. Dickson had been member OF
Mr.. Robinson's Cooperative Burial as
sociation just three weeks, having
joined February 8, 1904, and had her
dues paid up until March Z. She had
paid twenty-five cents into the funds
of the association and by reason Of
| her membership, She was given
burial, which ordinarily cost S100 Witn-
cut cost to the family. Mr.. Robinson
| spared ne. expense in conducting the
| funeral Mr. Pine had charge of the
arrangements. The plan of the Co
operative Burial association Is similar
to that Of the mutual life insurance
companies and protective associations
Each member pays five cents per week
in advance and this guarantees a fun
eral to cost one hundred dollars. The
plan has been found to be most sue
cessful and is great relief to the
distressed family in the time cf deep.
