Knew His Masters Voiee

The wonderful instinct and intelli.
3ence of dogs was illustrated a few
lays since where one recognized his
owners voice over the telephone at a.
distance of some fourteen miles. The
dogs master, who Was going out of
the otatc, sent the animal to a su-
burban city, where he was to be cared
for. A few days after the keeper OF
the animal was called up and the
dog placed on chair and the tele-
phone receiver placed at his ear. His
master spoke to the dog, who recog.
niZed his voice and demonstrated it
by vociferously barking. 1t was with
much difficulty that the animal could
be induced to go away from the tele-
phone long after his master had rung
off, the proprietor of the kennels af-
terward informed him.

P'oultney Bigelow Writes Of Great
s@@5s. Soutf, African Statesman.
e Potlltney .Bigelow, writing before the
Boer war, gave a ve-y interesting im-
preston of ex-President Kruger: The
president of the South African Repub-
ic," he wrote, '*is indeed a grand old
savage from one point of view and a
noble statesman from another. He is
theoretically the first citizen of the
most democratic community, yet in
practice he surrounds himself with a
taWdry splendor that would shock
many a crowned head of Europe.
When l. first had the honor of meet
ing this anachronistic phenomenon he
was drinking coffee and throwing out
a cloud of strong tobacco smoke but
a still greater volume of violent Ian
guage, emphasized by the humping OF
his massive fist upon the table. The
room in which he received was crowd
ed with long-haired, full-bearded and
stolid-featured fellow burghers, who
reminded me partly Of Russian priests,
partly of Californian miners, and part.
ly OF certain alleged portraits of the
apostles. I feared that I had unwit-
tingly interrupted a cabinet meeting,
but later it turned out that this was
Mr.. Kruger's usual at home When
the president is not at his Office he
delights in nothing so much as enter
tanning his countrymen with coffee,
tobacco and political proverbs. He
harrangues his visitors with the voice
OF a bull in distress, and they like it.
He governs by personal contact and
spoken parallels, and it is his boast
that he knows personally every citi.
zen of his republic

IN GREAT DISTRESS
ED EVERY EFFORT TO
CHECK. =
Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She
Thinks She Would Have Died But
For Dr.. Williams Pink Pills. -"

Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks. of No. IS Lin
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the
following account of her cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
For five years off and on l was
treated in vain by different doctors
for relief from a stomach trouble
which showed itself in frequent and
trying spells of vomiting. Part of the
time was able to work, and again I
would be confined to bed for three or
four days in succession.
My stomach was at times so deli
cate that it would not retain even
plain water. The spells would some
times occur at intervals of half an
hour, and would leave me so weak
that | would be compelled to lie down
between them. I would have several
OF them during the night following
day of such attacks. Finally l be-
came SO weakened that l had to give
up working altogether. l weighed only
n!nety-fcur pounds.
Last January I read about DR.. Will
iiams' Pink Pills for Pale People in
one of the Chicago daily papers and
bought box and began to use them.
After l had used half a box I found
that | could keep on my stomach the
/, Cd ate. l was encouraged by this
ard kept on using the pills for four
months. At the end of that time the
vomiting spells had ceased altogether
al0 my weight went up to 142 pounds
and is still growing.
i think l surely would have died if
It had not been for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, fer | sometimes vomited clear
Llcul. and for three or four days at
t:2lc | could not eat a bite of any
thing. One doctor said l had chronic
Inflammation of the stomach, and an
ether said my difficulty was a cancer,
but none of their medicines did me
any good at all. Finally l concluded
that | did not have blood enough to
digest my food, and I began the treat
ment that has cured me. I can eat
anything now, and have strength for
all kinds Of work. I always keep DR..
Williams Pink Pills on hand, and
recommend them to my friends be-
cause l know they cured me-
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills agree with
the most delicate stomachs and
strengthen the digestive organs until
they do their work perfectly. They
are sold by all druggists.

LIFE AND DEATH.

Europe loses $500 lives year by
accidents.
Only 900 persons in every million
die from old age.
OF the AZ 500 cases of smallpox re-
ported by forty-four states in 1903,
1,642 were fatal
Antitoxin treatment for diphtheria
has reduced the death rate Of that dis
ease from 80 to per cent.
Fifty-nine per cent of the deaths
from consumption are between the
ages of forty-fve and sixty years,
while only IL per cent of such deaths
are of persons over sixty years of age.
In the United States the annual NOR
tality for railroads is one person killed
for every 1862 employees; coal miners,
one person in every IA employees;
seamen in merchant vessels, one per-
son in every 1873.

Couldn't Stand Prosperity.

Bartholomew Kellaher, aged 15
years, son of John j. Kellaher, OF
Yorklyn, has been missing from
his home sinceI Friday morning of
last week. His father sent him to
Clifton Mills that morning after a
barrel of flour, giving him six
dollars to pay for the same. The
boy started with the horse and
wagon but instead of stopping at
the mills drove to Kenneth and
hitched his team at a livery stable:
Since then he has not been seen or
heard from and the supposition is
he has struck out to see the world
on the six dollars given him to pay
for the flour. This is the lads
second attempt at globe trotting.
About year ago he ran away
from home on his first personally
conducted tour and turned up in
Baltimore, after an absence OF
several days, and requested the au-
thorites to help him reach his own
fireslde, which they did.
