A gentleman told me Of Medical Lake
Salts, which he said were good for
that disease. I tried the Salts for
six days and found 1t to be success
full. I bsthed my feet once every night
in hot water in which the salts had
been dissolved and then wrapped my
feet in wooden cloths. I did this for

BLOOD

On account of its frightful hideous-
ness, Blood Poisoning is commonly
called the King of All Diseases. It
may be either hereditary or contract
ed. Once the system is tainted with
1t, the disease may manifest itself in
the form of Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu-
matte Pains, Stif or Swollen Joints,
Eruptions or Copper Colored Spots on
the Face or Body. little Ulcers in the
Mouth or on the Tongue, Sore Throat,
Swollen Tonsils, Falling out Of the
Hair or Eyebrows, and finally q Lep-
rous-like Decay of the Flesh and
Bones. If you have any Of these or
similar symptoms, get BROWNS
BLOOD CURE Immediately. This
treatment is practically the result of
life work. 1t contains no dangerous
drugs or injurious medicines OF any
kind. 1t goe to the very bottom of
the disease and forces out every par
ticle Of impurity. Soon every sign
and symptom disappears, completely
and forever. The blood, the tissues,
the flesh, the bones and the whole
system are cleansed, purified and re-
stored to perfect health. and the pa
tient prepared anew for the duties
and pleasures of life. BROWNS
BLOOD CURE, $500 a bottle, lasts a
month. Made by DIR. BROWN, 935

How Things Used to Come About in

bore the address of king of Persia.
Ruler Of the Sun, Adviser of the Moon,
and Boss Of the Earth in a General
Way. P D. o. took a walk all by his
lonesome one day to see what he could
discover. After Flooding through the
May-weeds alongside the dusty high
way for couple of miles he came upon
the cabin of a peasant situated on the
edge of a marsh and halted for a chat
After a bit his attention was attracted
10 crane standing on one leg in the
waters of the marsh with it's head IN
der its wing. and he looked again and
exclaimed:

four queens your face was as blank as
a pumpkin pie three months old. Dost
remember that I chucked thee under
the chin in a sportive way?"
yves
And that in my bounding spirits I
tickled thee in thy short ribs?"
And now comes the pinch as to
whether ] have gone loony or not.
Thou didst have none of the long
green at hand, but thy word was
pledged to bring me a thousand plunks
at nine o'clock this morning. Did I
dream Abdul, or was it so? Do get
that thousand, or do / proclaim that
there are wheels in my head and L
must resign this gilded throne? Don't
be in a hurry to answer, but think or
how thy head will look when stuck up
over the palace gates Hast brought
the pIunks, Abdul?"
s Truly, o Greatest of Earth, here is
the wad,' replied the Prime Minister,
as he passed over the greenbacks; ana
while they were being counted he slip
ped out and kicked himself thirteen
times and swore he would look for a
job in a blacksmith shop.
One day. as the King was loafing
around the palace and wondering why
q. bike was built to run into fences in
stead of keeping to road, he was in
formed that a Peasant desired audience
with him.
This is my busy day" he replied;
after the custom of American theatrical
managers, but if Uncle Reuben has
plowed through five or six miles of mud
to see his King, it would hurt his feel
ings to disappoint him. Therefore,
bring him in but stand ready to choke
him off if he begins to ask me which
end of a hornet contains the gun-cotton.

he had been admitted. Il have come to
pay my taxes before they are due"
Eth? Eth? Well. that's odd enough
You must indeed be loyal subject
None more so, your Majesty. l not

'tWell, WELL but this beats all my go

may be an evidence of loyalty. and it
may not Let us look into the matter"
Thereupon he questioned the Peasant
so long and closely that the man was
finally forced to admit that he had
found a treasure while digging in his
fields, and that it amounted to several
thousand dollars.
Uncle Reuben" said the King, when
he had got all the information he want
men from keeping a straight course, but
let me call your attention to the fol-
lowing:
Firstly. a man who don't kick about
the amount of his taxes may be SuS-
pected of some other deviltry-
Secondly, the man who pays his
taxes in advance is an ass.
Thirdly, the man who is so loyal that
he wants to pay double taxes is sure
to be looked upon as wanting to pay
rome at all.
'.Fourthly, he who findeth a treasure
and is ass enough to give the fact away
deserves 70 lose it
And filthy, Uncle Reuben of the
bland and innocent smile, my guards
will return home with you for that
money, and if you try any hocus pocus
business with them they'll bring me
your head along with the dollars -

JUDGE COCHRAN'S CHARGE

The following is a charge to the
justices of the peace of Kemper
county: ''If there is a blind tiger
in your district you know it. or
have good reason to believe it.
If his business is not stopped it is
simply because you do not care ito
have it stopped. You know that
you and your constable could, if
you desired to do so, get up the ev-
idence that would convict him,
and you have the power to inflict
a fine of $500 and ninety days in
Jail, and the penalty, if it is firmly
fixed in THE public mind, will be
visited upon every blind tiger and
will sweep them out of the Tenth
district. You have it in your pow
er, and the solemn responsibility
rests upon you to use best
efforts and endeavours to suppress
these agencies of the devil. In
stead of suppressing crime, if the
charge were made that you are di-
rectly encouraging and licensing il
you would encounter great difficulty
in making your defense. Your
dockets will show that in a very
large number of cases you impose
a fine of one dollar and cost. You
are running your business for rev.
enue only, without any regard fol
the public good or public morals.
do not hesitate to say to you that
justice of the peace who fines q
criminal one dollar and costs, unless
the circumstances are exceptional,
ought to be impeached as a cor.
rupter of public justice. In my
county it is reported to me that one
justice Of the peace has imposed moi
less than 328 such fines since the
first of January, and there are more
frequent appeals made to me Il
