Are You Tired, Nervous
and SleeDleSS +?

Nervousness and sleeplessness arc us
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood;
they; are. stanved nerves. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nouTished and all the organs OF
the body are run as smoothly as machin-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
work. Best of all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have large, booming sale
for short time, is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly Injuries the system. One may feel
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle OF it bears upon its wrapper The
Badge Of Honesty, in full list OF all its
offer you something he claims is "just as
good is to insult your intelligence.

FLED BEFORE woMAN's PISTOL
How Mrs. Reader Put Stop to lmpu.
dence Of Peruvian.

| oenCe OF PERUVIAN.
| In her story of ELLA Rawls Reader,
Financier," contributed in Every.
body's,, Juliet Wibor Tompkins tells
the following incident of a struggle OF
Mrs. Readers in Peru:
| After eight months of useless
struggle she went to out Callao, which
is about half an hour by rail from

Scotch interpreter, and American en-.
gineer, and forced the manager to
open the warehouses and let her make
an inspection of the machinery. The
manager had met her with his law.
yers, and the hour for argument be.
fore she gained her point had been
something of a strain. During the
| whole process a Peruvian on the Hag-
| gin side had been standing close to
Mrs. Reader, his little, narrowed eyes
| staring with that deliberate insolence
only Latins can accomplish. The
| company went out into the wareroom
| where the machinery lay and the diff.
tlcult business of hurried inspection
went forward, but still the bullying
stare never ceased. After about two
hours of it, the fine edge of that hid
| den temper of her suddenly sprang up.
She whirled on him with blaze of
| words that needed no Interpreter, and
all at once his stare was being re.
turned by fierce little pistol held
in a strong white hand and quite
| ready for business.
"The gentleman of Peru neither
apologized nor retracted; he incon-
| tinently fled. And he was not the only
| one. Like shadows the men fitted
out of the duslSy warehouse, leaving
the dangerous woman a clear field.
When she looked about there was no
one in sight but two Irish porters, and
in their eyes we're sympathetic twin
kles, meeting which, Mrs. Reader
could only sink down helpless with
laughter and put up her pistol"

The Way It Grows Out West

One of our readers whose veracity
is above question tells the following:
The terrible news comes from the
western part of the Cherokee nation
that boy climbed a cornstalk to see
how the corn was getting along, and
now the corn is growing up faster than
the boy can climb down. The boy is
clear out of sight Three men have
undertaken to cut to tsalk down with
axes, but it grows so fast that they
can't hack twice in the same place.
The boy is living on nothing but raw
corn, and already has thrown down
four bushels of cobs.

To Point a Moral,

Almost everything he had
THAI should make a person glad
Just to be alive; good friends,
Health, position, all that lends
Happiness to most of us
I should have been happy thus!
Life he loved for it's own sake.
And he hoped to live to make
Others see his point of view,
And be optimistic, too
Then one day, a little worry,
Caused his mind a minutes furry;
He dismissed tit returned
Every hour. And then he learned
That it would not down unsolved
AS his daily task revolved
This small problem interfered,
With his work, and it appeared
Each day larger than before.
So it grew and more and more,
Colored all his speech and thought;
Other ideas shrunk to naught.
Day and night this worry fed
On his soul, unquieted,
Till it's everlasting pain
Broke his heart and wrecked his brain
When he killed himself, at last,
All who knew him were aghast
Save the one who'd caused his worry,
(And forgot it in hurry;)
That one said: DID you know, my dear
/ always did think he was-queer!'

"Then go by the embankment," she
answered.

He was right. Half an hour passed
and they had only gone short dis

hour almost less progress was made.
"Once at Reggie's chambers, how

Audrey thought to herself, anxiously.
perhaps it would be wiser to stay at

about me if | failed to reappear at

That sentence died unfinished in Au

impenetrable darkness about her!
Now with the noise of thunder the
heavy vehicle was dashing past. Past?
No!
Crash! The runaway horse had dash
