AN ANEcDoTE OF coRMAN.
Amusing Story About Maryland Sem
ator Told by Former Chief of
Tammany Hall.
New YORK snec.al.


Every now and then cabIegram from
the other side has something to say
about the satisfactory manner ia which
Richard Croker, the erstwhile boss OF
Tammany hall, is spending the declining
years OF his life. They all go to prove
that he is man Of philosophical temper
ament. This was aptly illustrated at
the national democratic convention
which nominated Grover Cleveland In
1892. On that occasion Tammany hall
and the New York delegation presented
solid front against the suggestion OF
Mr.. Cleveland's name. They said that
he was weak candidate and could not
under any possibility be elected.
The Tammanyites, besides fighting
Mr.. Cleveland themselves, endeavored
to enlist the support and sympathy of
other delegations in their cause, and in

For Weak, Lansuid People

Weak, sickly people often remark
"if | could only get something that
would nourish me and give me
strength" they do not know why,
but the food they eat is of no benefit
to them, they gain no flesh and feel
no stronger. The fact is the stomach
is too weak to perform it's work, and
the little appetite they once had is
soon gone. The blood becomes more
thin and watery, bringing on faint
sick spells with loss of memory and
ambition. There is a remedy for all
this that acts in the right way. It is
called DR.. Gums Blood and Nerve
Tonic, and is sold by all druggists for
75c. per box, or boxes for So. II

blood, making flesh and strength, ,

Croker held several lengthy conferences
with Senator German, who was present
at the head of the Maryland delegation.
After one of these prolonged powwows.
when Senator German left had Mr..
Cookers room, one of the New York del
egates went to the boss and said. bluntly:
rs German going to be for or against
the nomination of Cleveland?"
Mr.. Croker shook his head. smiled in
a quizzical manner, and said:
Don't ask me that question"
Eyes, but will" retorted the other,
with a show of indignation. II think
have right to ask you that question"
Eyes, you have" said Croker, In a
kindly tone: "but ii isn't In my power
to answer it. Senator German is a
brainy man. He is a shrewd politician;
but I'll be hanged IL can tell what he
means sometimes. He reminds me of the
fellows In the variety shows that put
their breeches on In the wrong way. and
then have someone exclaim: You can't
tell whether he is going or coming And
that" concluded Croker, with smile,
is the condition that confronts us with
Mr.. German at this stage Of the game.
We can't tell whether he Is agoing or

You Have Dyspepsia, Read This.
The old way of taking pepsin, bis
muth. etc., to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put up in tab
lets or in liquid, the result is just the
same. The object is to create arti-
fetal digestion, but this does not
make cure. Stop taking the pepsin,
etc., and you have your dyspepsia or
indigestion back again. People use
cocaine or opium for nervous trou-
bles and sick headache, it does not
cure, stop taking the drugs and the
pain and distress return. The only
Common Sense Method Is to drive out
OF the system the cause OF dyspepsia
and sick headache. by cleansing the
stomach and bowels, at the same
time using a medicine that will act on
the liver. This forces through the
glands Of the stomach the digestive
fluid that nature intended. In this
way you cure dyspepsia. The medi-
cine that cures dyspepsia by this
method is called DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills. Druggists sell these pills
at Csc. per box. 1t only takes one pill
for a dose. Sold by e. C. Shepherd,
