A ge and Brain Work

The belief of Sir James Crichton- Browne that brain workers achieve their best work in later middle age Is easily confirmed by glaneing at the careers of a few of the grand old men who are still with us, many of whom are as busy as in their younger days. Lord Roberts at 73 Is still worth 95,OO0 a year to the nation as one of our im- perial defenders. Lord Kelvin at Sl may startle us with further generalizations on the mysteries of science. Sir William Huggins at the same age still explores interstellar spaces, while the activity of the octogenarian duke of Rutland and Lord Wemyss Is as effective as ever in preserving the privileges of our old mo- bility.-London Chronicle.

King and Apple Man.

When London did not extend so far as Knightsbridge. George IL. as he was one morning riding, met an old soldier who had served under him at the battle of Dettingen; the king ac- costed him, and found that he made his living by selling apples in a small hut What can I do for you?" said the king Please, your majesty, to give to me grant of the bit of ground my hut stands on, and I shall be happy" Be happy" said the king, and ordered him his request. Years rolled on. the apple man died, and left son, who from dint of in- dustry became an attorney. The then chancellor gave lease of the ground to nobleman, as the apple stall had fallen to the ground, where the old apple man and woman laid also. It being conceived the ground had fallen to the crown. stately mansion was soon raised, when the young attorney put in claims; small sum was offered as a compromise and refused; finally, the sum of s2,250 per annum. ground rent, was settled upon.-Stray Stories.

OF INCREASE
 IN LAND VALUES.

w. E. Talley has recently bought from Jas. P. Gray of Newborn, Tenn, 1900 acres of land lying east of Marmaduke, the consideration being $24, ,OOO, says the Paragould Soliphone. MT. Gray has owned this land only a few years and paid $6,6OO for it. This is another striking evidence of the rapid increase in land values in Greene county. This was part of the Mathis X Whitaker land; perhaps it cost them fifty cents an acre twenty or twenty-five years ago.
 MT. Talley owns other lands adjoining the late purchase, about 5000 acres in one body.

Brain Workers.

Brain workers suffer from headache because they over-tax and exhaust the brain nerves.
 Tired, irritated, turbulent brain nerves throb and ache; this weakens the brain power, and robs the memory.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills bring tranquility to the ex- cited nerves and stop the pain.
 If not relieved, this nerve disturbance is frequently ex- tended to the stomach, causing nausea, voniting-sick head ache.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are convenient to take-just a little tablet, that in few mo- ments relieves the pain; they leave no disagreeable after effects, as they contain no opium, morphine, cocaine or chloral in any form.
 'From personal experience can testify that Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are a most excellent remedy for head ache and neuralgia. have been fhe past three years.
