the first whack at the ball in the next
inning. With two out in the eighth in

might dispose of the fellow at the top
of the list, who was generally the best
batter and base runner on the team. 1

This phenomenal work seemed to at

won the pennant, For his reward Rad

the Boston club at an increase in salary.
He continued to pitch well for the Hub

the strain on his arm. Radhourne did

One of the greatest American millionaire
once said to his physician, "A million dol.

the sick man grosned and turned away.
One of a mans greatest pleasures is that
born of keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and good dinner, and this belongs to
many 4 good fellow who is living on small
wages, but the rich man without 4 stomach
has to forego the good things of the table
because his stomach rebels. Without .
healthy stomach and q good digestion, our

duty, and man is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man i prey to the germs

the ills that he is heir to. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature as possible.
DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi.

Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, years ago un-
derstood this disease and after long pc
Rod of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up in =
ready to use. This he called Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t gives no
false stimulation because it contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. 1t helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such elements
in the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has a pacIfying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives to the blood the food elements the
tissues require. 1t maintains the PATIENTS
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,

overcomes gastric irritability and symp-

i was good reporter, and soon found
work enough on the daily papers at
space rates to take care of myself.
Some weeks | earned from fifty to
eighty dollars; oftener | did not earn
ten. | have attended an all-day con-
vention, and far into the night, writing
reports of speeches for messenger boys
to take in sections ''red-hot" to the
presses, SO that the first part of the
article would be in type before the last
was written. And have kept this up
for many hours at time. | have gone
forth after breakfast to see a whole
page OF the morning paper given up to
my report OF such all-day meetings, at
which | had worked for fourteen con-
secutive hours the day before, iunching
| on bananas and sandwich and supping
on similar meal l have had the

seize every fresh sheet that flew out
from under my pencil, almost before it
was done, the hot presses upstairs cry

bed in the morning only to fall back
across it in dead faint, and then got
ten up and gone out to another regular
days work. And | have beaten the
men on rival papers in scoops which
occupied columns, and told no lies.
/ But in spite of the fascination in this
sort of thing-and it is wonderful
fascinatiOn-I could not keep it up.
And when, after a few years, there
came chance to edit an obscure
monthly at fair salary, took it.
Then added dramatic department for
a weekly paper to my regular duties,
doing the work evenings. Later went
to the weekly paper as editor of several
departments, and still later took on a
regular department in the Saturday
edition of the most highly respected
journal in my city.-Helen Winslow,
