Emneror a Working Man.

He emperor William) is certainly a
working man. The record of each OF
his days at Berlin or Potsdam, as given
in the press, shows that every hour
from dawn to long after dark brings
Its duties-duties demanding wide OBJ
servation, close study, concentration or
thought, and decision. Nor is his at
tention bounded by German interests.
He is a keen student of the world at
large. At various interviews there
was ample evidence of his close obser-
vation of the present President of the
United States, and of appreciation OF
his doings and qualities: so, too, when
the struggle for decent government in
New York was going on, he showed an
Intelligent interest in Seth Low; and
In various other American matters
there was recognition Of the value Of
any important stroke Of good work
done by our countrymen.-From An

Quaint SCOTCH Custom.

Natives of the northeast coast Of
Scotland observe curious custom at
funerals. After the burial service the
coffin is carried outside the house and
placed upon the two chairs on which
it had rested within doors. AS soon as
the pallbearers lift up their burden
and begin their journey to the grave
yard these chairs are at once thrown
sharply on their backs. In this posi-
ton they are kept until the interment
has taken place, when they are taken
indoors again. Any attempt to place
the chairs on their legs or to take them
in before the proper time is at once
frustrated by the relatives of the dead.

Vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
ouently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain," said he, " during which
was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
INV mother, e. woman eighty years of
age. paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation gave up
the DOCTORS treatment and took the pills
in it's place.
"And were You cured as the result Of
taking her advice?'
"Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished l felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. con-
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every ves-
tise of the disease had been eradicated.
"Are there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's s neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing Of the
! salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for An attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment.
II is little wonder that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor i'll the com.
munity where Mr.. Schroeppei and Cap
tain Bslfour are SO well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.

He wants to be held and hailed as a

the existence at Babvlcr, N.'eee D. e., of

or the Water Cart,

Falling off the water wagon is easy,
but being knocked off is different.
Now, the driver of sprinkling cart
Is surely on the water wagon if any
one is. and it was the driver of such
a vehicle that trolley car knocked OF
the other morning. The water wagon
was ON the car tracks going In the
same direction as the car. The car ran
into the wet end of the cart and there
was something doing.
First, off went the driver. Then the
motorman got an unexpected bath. To
dodge the shower from the sprinkler he
opened the car doors and jumped in
side. and so doused some Of the pas
sengers. But no one lost his temper.
Everybody grinned and joshed the
sprinkling cart driver about the ease
with which he had fallen off the water
wagon.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
