"It's perfect nonsense, Bessie, for you to talk of being laid on the shelf Why, it all depends on yourself. Forget your worries, your aches and ailments do as l did, take plenty of out-ofdoor air, cultivate happi- ness by not allowing your mind to dwell on the trifles and the worries of life. l sent thirty-one cents in stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., for his Common Sense Medical Adviser, and found it con tained much useful information about the care of my health, about physiology, anat- omy, and everything woman should know. l then decided to write Dr. Pierce and tell him all about my ailrnents. 1 received such nice, carefully considered and con fdential letter, in reply, giving me advice about my diet, exercise and all This advice is free to everyone and wonder you don't write him at once. It didn't take me many months to regain my good looks. Ever since was fiteen l have suffered untold agonies periodically but now l am free from pain, worry and bad temper Oc- casionally I took Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets-this for the complexion, and to stimulate the liver. Then I took Dr. Pierce's Favohte Prescription three times a day for those wofnanly weaknesses l told you about. That's my secret of beauty. It's the easiest thing in the world to be happy and keep one's good looks. Look at the thousands of women who have been made well by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription look how they keep their good looks.

Sometime in early January there'll be some snow, and durin' the month Of January and February theren be some ice made whereabouts.
 Reaching over the coon skin he picked up the tail and staid, Look ger there. do you see how thick and bushy that ar tail is? Taint often that you see hair on a coons tail as long as that Is. When you do, look out for a long, tejious wint- CT. Them coons go into holes long about the last of December and they don't come out till the wallSin gifts so that folks with tender feet can get aroun' barefoot without worryin'. When a coon hunks in for the winter he rolls himself up in a ball and wraps his tail around Ei5 face. That keeps him warm. The longer the hair on his tail the warmer he keeps, for you see 1t holds the heat that's in his breath I've never known 1t to fal that when coon's tail was big an bushy the followin' winter should be 8 teaser.

Lets see your teeth" said the prophet, picking up the cat. The cat promptly opened his jaws and revealed a set of sharp teeth all sulphur.
 There you be-" said Suleyman, "Tom's teeth are yellow and I reckon you can't find cat in this county that hain't got weller teeth this fall for there's a hare winter ahead. Some signs fail but I nev- CT knowed 1t to, and I've follered 1t good many years"
 He thrust his hand in his brooches pocket and drew out two shrivelled buck eyes.

When there's goin' to be a rain or snow storm, they'll tell me about it twelve hours aforehand, by swelin' up and gettin smooth.

It's virtues are derived solely from gas-largely oxygen gas by process requiring immense appa- ratus and IA days time. The result is a Liquid that does what oxygen does.

lv7v1-TTwT-f--

Decatur January 4-(SpeclaD-one of the queerest characters In Alabama IS Zenas Suleyman, known in the locali- ty in which he lives by the euponious title of "The Prophet of Raccoon Noun tains." His dwelling is but a dugout' is situated in DeKalb county, in north eastern Alabama, where he owns five acres of land. His farm" lies in the narrow valley, through which flows the picturesque little stream of Town Creek Bordering on the north and south of his farm, and extending for many miles in either direction, lie the blue capped Raccoon or Sand ountains, whose sum its are many feet above the sea.
 Suleyman lives all alone, save for his dog, cat, horse and few pigs and chick ems. His house is encircled by rough slab fence which resembles barricade He raises a few sweet potatoes and little corn, but spends most of his time in the winter hunting the raccoon on the mountain side and in the summer the most of his time is taken up in shooting squirrels or catching fish in the noun tain stream near by his rude nut. lie seems to care but little for the associa- tion of human beings and people who have seen him for years say they dont feel acquainted with him yet.
 Where the man came from no one Ill the vicinity seem to know. The oldest citizens say 1t was more than a quarter of a century ago that he first made his appearance in the little mountain hamlet of Lydia, asked if there was any mail for Zenas Suleyman, purchased two pounds of cheese and a few crackers and left
 Suleyman's strong hold is his ability to foretell the weather. He sees things In nature that he says indicate to him cer- tain climatic conditions that are sure to exist, and in the fall of the year people who live in that vicinity tip him with quarters and listen to what he has to say about the coming winter.
 It was in early October of the year which has just passed that l was on q prospecting trip in the Raccoon noun tains, and hearing so many wonderful tales about this prophet hermit l decid- ed to call on him. It was a lovely Octo- Der morning. The frost on the mountain sides sparkling in the early morning sun- light made a scene worthy of an artists brush. Suleyman was mailing coon skin up on the side of the shanty when I rode up, curious to meet and talk with him. He didn't appear to be of extraordinary statue when f1rSt seen, put when ne turn ed towards me and strengthened up. he looked like a giant. He stands three or four inches more than six feet. His head Is immense, and wide. full white beard sweeps the front of his body all most to his waist. He greeted me In q sem-cordial manner and talked readily. When the subject of the coming winter was preached he backed up against the house. and, opening a huge pocket knife began to whittle on pine stick.

certain that We publish on every bottle an offer of s1.o0O for a disease germ that 1t cannot kill. The reason Is that germs are vegetables; and Liquozone like an excess of oxygen-is deadly to vegetal matter.
 There lies the great value of Liquo. zone. It Is the only way known to kill germs in the body without killing the tissue, too. Any drug that kills germs Is a poison, and it cannot be taken in. ternally Every physician knows that medicine Is almost helpless in any germ disease.

 Selma TESTIMONY IS C0NCL U0EO Little Ruth Beiman as We'll as the De- fendant Testify In Connection
 With the Killing of
 H. Beiman.
TESTIMONY IS CONCL UOED

Selma, January 14.-The taking of tes- timony in the preliminary trial of w s. Lawrence for the killing of H. Beiman was concluded at o'clock tonight and af- ter a contest for the expurgation of cer- tain parts of the record by the attorneys, ir the case, it was agreed that Monday morning at 9 o'clock, the Mayor should set the time when the arguments in the case should be heard.
 The days proceedings were extremely interesting and hundreds of curious spec tators thronged the court room listening to the evidence. It was the first case where legal battle royal has been made on which Major Atkins has had to sit in judgment and his universally fair de- csons have won for him many com pliments from both sides of the case. The counsel for the defense Col W. W. Quarles. who has just retired after twelve years service as solicitor has fought for every inch of ground for his client, and the city attorney and his assistants in the case, A. L. Mcleod and G. II. Craig, have been alive to every legal phase and as- pect.
 At Times Sensational.
 To-day's proceedings were at times sen sational in the clash of legal opinions. The contest of the defense was to get In as evidence proof of the fact that Law renee had made an appointment to go to Augusta county Sunday evening, and that MT. Beiman had also made the arrangements for him to go. This the defense proved, and when the defendant himself went upon the stand and told his story in a straightforward manner the way had already been made clear to- wards making it convincing.
 The three most important witnesses to- day were Mrs Beiman. the wife of the deceased, with whom it was sought to be proved that Lawrence had improper relations; Ruth Beiman, the ten-year-o daughter of the deceased and the de- fendant himself. Mrs. Beiman entered the courtroom attired in deep mourning She told a straightforward story of the relation held by MT. Lawrence in her family, saying that there never had been any differences between the defen- dant and the deceased. She stated that she had been to the theatre with MT. Lawrence, MT Beiman having purchased the tickets and that she had been driv- ing with him but never alone, either

huth Beiman on Stand.
 Ruth Beiman the 10-year-old daughter of the deceased, stated that she had never seen MT. Lawrence in any compromising position with her mother, that her papa was friendly to him. The naive replies on the cross-examination were interesting, especially when the state asked her what her mother had told her to say on the stand. Her reply was: She told me to tell all l know and to answer all the questions you asked me truthfully."
 MT Lawrence himself was on the stand for over three hours. He told minutely and in detail how the shooting occurred. He said that MT. Beiman was a a cabinet of drawers that sat upon the safe trying to find a paper. that he was olling his pistol and thought he had emptied 1t ol all the cartridges He cooked the pistol once and pulled the trigger and cooked 1t again when MT. Beiman asked him to find the paper Still holding the pistol in his left hand he went to MT Beimans side, and reaching with his left over his head opened the drawer to get the paper when the pistol was fired. He start ed to go for a doctor when Mr. Beiman said: Walter don't leave me" lie de- clared the relation between himself and the deceased was the most friendly, and that there had been nothing improper whatever between Mrs. Beiman and him self.
 The preponderance of opinion Is that bail will be allowed the defendant
