" Saved uY LIFE

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment. restoring lost flesh
and vitality. and repairing
waste. The action of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS

The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

Hundreds of women suffer from head.

is the cause Of their discomfort.
If one sure remedy for making good,
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear, as
they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F.
Stone, who had been ailing for years and
was completely run down before she re-
allied the nature of her trouble.
"For several years." said Mrs. Stone,

Cool Wit stops Disaster.

By his rare presence of mind. John
Donohue, engineer at the Bellevue
mine, near Scranton, Pa, averted what
might have been a disaster, with con-
siderable loss Of life. recently.
The throttle lever of the engine
broke as he was hoisting loaded
cage, making it impossible to stop the
engine. Instead of letting the cage
rush up to the top OF the tower, he
reversed his engine under full pres
sure, and thus kept his machine see
saving until the main valves could be
closed.
Engineer Donohue's cool wit not
only saved the shaft from destruction,
but certainly saved the men working
on the bottom from death or injury.
He has received the hearty thanks
not only of his employers, but also of
the workers in the Bellevue mine, who
all vote him to be cool-headed and
courageous man.

Learn to laugh. 4 good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in sickroom.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smile. No
one cares to hear Whether you have
the earache, headache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in
real life. Learn to meet your friends
with smile. The good humorcd man
or woman is always welcome, but the
dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not
wanted anywhere and is nuisance

Millions of "SpelIers."

The sales of some modern American
novels have reached into the hundreds
of thousands, and two, one of which is
modern, the other a classic, have pass
ed the million mark. Websters old
Spelling Book may not have been as
exciting as these novels, but as a
"seller" it surpassed them all so far
as to be in a class by itself. The his
tory, recently published. of the firm
which printed the Spelling Book for
great many years contains some in
teresting figures. The smallest num-
ber sold during any one year was more
than a third of million, in 1862; the
largest, more than n million and half,
in 1866; and during the entire 35 years
when the firm in question published
the books more than 31,0O0,O00 copies
were sold. 1t is doubtful if any book
except the Bible ever equaled or even
approached this record.

Paving Whistler.

Sometimes we visited dealer who
owed him money, and Whistler would
receive a check Once the check was
not handed to him in what he thought
a sufficiently dignified manner, and he
said to the dealer: This is careless
of you. You push this check toward
me, and you do not realize what a
privilege it is to be able to hand it
to the master. You should offer it on
rich old English salver and in a
kingly way" Once dealer borrowed
a gorgeously embossed silver salver
for the occasion, and when the master
arrived for his check-he was very
punctual-presented it on the salver,
with carefully worded and elegant
little speech that he had taken some
pains to rehearse. The master was
pleased. ''This," said he, sis as it
should be."-Menpe's whistler as I
Knew Him."

The First and Last Guns.

The first gun fired was at Fit. Sum-
ter and the last was fired at Macon.
Some interesting stories have been
published about the firing of the last
gun, and the statement has been made
that it was done at Columbus, Ga.
The facts were ascertained recently
from d. r. King, the commercial
agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad
at Albany, Ga. Mr.. King said:
81 was in the Federal army and be-
longed to the First Ohio Cavalry, in
General Wilson's command. We reach
ed Columbus, Ga, on April II, 1868,
and stayed there three days, after
which we marched to Macon.
"While on the march we were fired
at frequently by scouts or bushwhack-
ers, and the advance guard. after
some little recopnoitering. would re-
turn the shots and advance. l was an
orderly under General Alexander, who
had charge of the advance forces, and
when we were within seven or eight
miles of Macon we We're met by a
party of gentlemen-citiZenS of Ma
con-who asked us not to enter the
city, as an armistice had been de-
clared.
81 went myself to General Wilson
and notified him of what the delega
ton of citizens said. He went for
ward and had a talk with them. I
was there and overheard everything
that was said. General Wilson said
that he had not been officially notified
of the armistice and that he intended
to establish his headquarters in Ma
con that night.
''He told the citizens that he would
not allow his soldiers to disturb any
thing or anybody, but that his en-
trance to the city would be peaceable.
He was informed that the Confeder-
ates had forces stationed across the
river from Macon and beyond the rail-
road where he would enter.
"We proceeded to the city and, after
entering it, we could see the Confeder-
ate camp to cur right. While march
ing through the streets, three shots di-
rected at the column came from the
Confederates, without effect, and we
proceeded on the march. This was
the last gun fired. l do not remember
the date, but it was between the Goth
and goth of April, 1865. Con-

How Sheridan Came.

Recall with me that break of day
When thirty thousand men in gray
From out the forest, cold and damp,
With shout and yell fell on your camp.
All through the night across the fords
The rebel chief had led his hordes;
All through the night. beneath the trees,
That scarcely quivered in the breeze.
With tiger tread and bated breath,
Forward had crept the ranks of death.
In vain, to stem the battle tide,
Did Emory shout and Custer ride;
Men bled in vain; the waves that rolled
Against you could not be controlled.
The sun came up: the fight grew hot
Disputed was each CORY spot;
But backward still, before the host
In gray, and Cedar Greek was lost.
But, ah! along the broad highway
That led from Winchester that day,
To Cedar Creek. on coal-black steed,
\ trooper rode at lightning speed.
His spurs We're red, his boots were
splashed,
He cared for naught rs on he dashed.
Beneath his horses hoofs the earth
Was groaning with battles birth.
And as he galloped, from afar
Toward him rolled the waves of war.
With loosened rein and head bent low,
And swift as shaft from Indian bow,
Or like Il meteor on its flight
Across the vast expanse of night,
He flew along the historic road!
4 better horse man ne'er bestrode.
He bore your leader to your ranks,
With frothy bit and foamy flanks.
0pf hv ba half 6l1a1 rutS
On! on! past Newton's scattering huts.
And redder still his spur-points grew,
And dustier his coat of blue.
But all at once a shout-a cheer
Came floating from your distant rear;
From lip to lip the tidings ran-
HE comes! he comes. Phil Sheridan!'
The stragglers turned; the wounded
cheered;
Courage and hope again appeared;
Swinging his cap, he came in sight,
The victor of Opequan's fight.
A glance was all he needed; then
He formed his beaten ranks again;
He rode the lines and saw you stand
Firm as the rocks on oceans strand;
Rang out the bugles loud and clear,
And forward with a mighty cheer,
You swept across disasters track,
And sent the gray coats whirling back!
In vain the foemen sought to stem
The leaden storm that shattered them;
As well might they have tried to crush
A cyclone in its onward rush;
Over the ground you'd lost before,
Crushing the grass-blades wet with gore
With yell and cheer, the banners rent,
Led by Victory on you went!
And ere the hilltops hid the sun,
The field of Cedar Creek was won!

A Wonderful Echo.

An ordinary echo is a curious thing;
but, according to the statements of 4
Frenchman at watering place in the
Pyrenees, one echo on the Franco
Prussian frontier is far from the ordi-
nary. "As soon as you have spoken"
said the Frenchman, who had secured
an audience of wide-eyed tourists,
''you hear distinctly the voice leap
from rock to rock, from precipice to
precipice, and as soon as it has passed
the frontier it assumes the Spanish
tonguew-The Argonaut.
