The Valley of the Nile

Is no richer than the fertile coun-
try traversed by the Illinois Cen
trail railroad in the States of
Tennessee, Mississippi and Lou
isiana. Northern farmers have
awakened to this fact and are
rapidly settling here, for they ap-
preciate the fact that the soil,
crops, climate, water, markets,
ETC., are all that could be desired
and they are buying land while
the prices are yet very low. Write

The Custer Massacre.

That pathos which lies so close to
the border line of humor that for
a moment one hardly knows wheth-
er to laugh or to weep is pretty well
illustrated in a little story once told
by the wife of an army officer sta
toned at a western post.
She had been there only few
days when an elderly Irish woman
called to solicit the job of washing
regularly for her. Being questioned
as to her qualifications, the poor
old woman said:
"Sure, it's forty year l have been
washing for the army, and | know
thin all. Me own boy was a soger,
mum, right here at this same ar
senic, but he went out to the Custer
masquerade, and that was the end
of him" -Brooklyn Eagle.

Dewitt is the Name.

When you 60 to buy Witch Ha-

Witt on every box. The pure, un-
adulterated Witch Hazel is used
in making DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve, which is the best salve in
the world for cuts, burns, bruises,
boils, eczema and piles. The pop

Salve, due to its many cures, has

A CASE OF 1T.
Many Like It In Sistersville.

The following case is but one
of many similar occurring daily
in Sistersville. 1t is an easy mat
ter to verify its correctness. Sure
" you cannot ask for better proof
than such a conclusive evidence.
Thomas Fleming, proprietor of
the Commercial House, on Tenth
street, Moundsville, says: "Four
years ago my back ached so ex-
cruciatingly that if l even took
a long full breath l felt it. When
the attacks were in the acute
stage | could scarcely get around
and even in bed there was not a
single position I could assume
which brought rest or comfort.
To stoop or to lift even a pound
caused twinges across the small
of my back; in fine, despite the
fact of doctoring and using unlim-
tied quantities of medicine, all
guaranteed to cure kidney COM
plant l actually think / grew
worse in place of better. Doan's
Kidney Pills came to my notice
and l took them as directed. The
result turned out as predicted, and
the attack ceased. Since then [
have not had a symptom of a re-
turn. After this positive proof OF
the merits Of Doan's Kidney Pills
all residents of this vicinity suffer
ing from their back or kidneys
stand sadly in their own light if
they do not give Doan's Kidney
Pills a fair trial"

Lee Under Fire.

1t is related that at one period of
the battle of Charlottesville Gen
eral Lee was attended only by DR..
Dorsey Cullen, medical director OF
Longstreet's corps, who was soon
aware of an uncomfortable near
ness of the enemy's bullets, and, be-
coming anxious about his illustrious
companion, he remarked:
General, don't you think the fir
ing about here is rather warm"
General Lee turned and said to
him:
doctor, if you think the firing
is getting too hot, you have my per-
mission to retire"

TWO FISH TALES.
Severe Injuries Which Seemed to Cause
Little Inconvenience.

A remarkable incident of the vo-
racity of the perch is related by Mr.
H. Cholmondeley Pencil. In re-
moving the hook from the jaws OF
a fish which he had caught in Win
dermere an eye was accidentally dis
placed and remained adhering to it.
knowing the recuperative capabili-
ties of piscine organization, he re-
turned the manned perch, which
was too small for the basket, to the
lake and, being somewhat scant OF
minnows, threw the line in again
with the eye attached as a bait,
there being no other of any descrip-
ton on the hook. The float disap-
peared almost instantly, and on
landing the newcomer it turned out
to be the fish he had thrown in
moment before and which had thus
been actually caught by its own
eye.
"This incident" says Mr.. Pen
nell, "proves, l think, conclusively
that the structure of cold FLOODED
animals enables them to endure
very severe injuries and wounds
without experiencing material in
convenience, fact which may tend
to remove any qualms of conscience
felt by anglers on the score of the
sufferings supposed to be inflicted
by their capture"
Perhaps a less striking illustra-
ton of the same fact came under
my own observation in the Lake st.
John country some time ago. A
lingering trout had taken one OF
my flies, and, though the hook had
torn one of the gill rakers, | was
anxious that if possible the little
fish should live. l gently placed it
in the shallow water at my feet to
see if it could revive and swim
away. In a very short time it had
recovered from its dazzlement,
when, to my utter establishment, it
rushed directly to the fly upon
which it had just been caught and
which had carelessly been allowed
to drop into the shallow water and
once more impaled lf!-Forest

Absentminded.

ga certain mathematician" said
a college professor, lis so absent
minded that once he walked along
for a quarter of a mile in the gutter
instead of on the sidewalk. He
would have kept on in the gutter in
definitely had not the polished back
of a brougham that was drawn up
before a shop brought him to a halt.
"The mathematician stopped
within a foot of the brough-
am. He looked at the black,
smooth, lustrous surface before him,
and it suggested to his mind a
blackboard. Accordingly, he drew
a piece of chalk from his pocket and
began to work out an abstruse prob
lem.
"On and on he worked, covering
the carriage with figures, until final
ly it started off. Still working, the
mathematician followed it. He held
on to the body with his left hand,
and not until the pace became too
quick for him did he realize that
something was wrong. Then he
sighed, looked about him in dazed
way, pocketed his chalk and started
homeward."- Woman's Home Com
