KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
Aftcr-E Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of Blood Remedy.

Value of n Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired.
faint and in every way wretched from
an@mia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty i'll breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williamg
Pink Pills, was used. For quckness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that
supports this claim. She says:

Sherman's boys were overwhelming
everything, and hurrying to the coast.
At last I discovered they had taken
Savannah.
"A vivid picture OF the marvellous
march formed itself in my mind one
night while l was walking up and
down the prison pen trying to keep
from freezing, The idea to celebrate

seemed so romantic so picturesque, so
heroic. When daylight come my two
comrades went out beside little fire

OF straw, with my old army blanket
over me, and wrote the song called
'Sherman's March to the Sea- Short.
~ took it out to my comrades, by
the fire, and read it to them. A
stranger prisoner standing by the fire
asked me to let him take it to his
quarters to copy. l gave it to him
and in day or so forgot all about it.
at happened there was splendid
glee club among the prisoners; they
also had violins and flutes. They were
allowed to sing every afternoon on the
steps of the little prison hospital.
They made delightful music for us
prisoners, and hundreds of the citi.
zens besides, crowded on top Of the
walls to hear the Yankees sing. What
was my surprise one afternoon to hear
Major lsett, the leader of the club
tell the assembled crowd they were to
sing song about Sherman! Greater
still my surprise when the words of
my own poem were being cheered by
a thousand voices. The stranger Off
Ger, who had borrowed the poem mat
morning, turned out to be Lieut.. Rock
well. He was musician and mem
Der of the club, and had, without my
knowledge, written music to my
verses.
How they were cheered that after
| noon! and how their unknown author
spite of himself, was dragged up on to
the platform, and all of a sudden
transformed into a prison hero! The
song was now sung daily by every
body in the prison. One day Lieut.
| Tower, an officer with an artificial
| leg, was exchanged, and in the hol
low of his wooden limb he carried my
| song to the Union army. There, too
it became the rage, and by the time
the war was over simply millions Of
copies had been printed. Thirteen
music houses issued it, all but one
without authority, and that one munif

TO rhyming. They tune up their hearts
and Tyres, and couplets sonnets, bal
lads-every form of poetic expression
is made to lend itself to the pen of the
rhymester.. Some of these poems in
spired by great public events are very
good and some very bad when subject
ed to the highest literary test. Some
of the worst outlive the best. The
most jingling rhymes often catch the
popular fancy, while the lofty note
struck by the really great singer is un-

We have not in all of our American
history more thrilling events than
some of those which gave rise to
many Of our war poems, and the cir
cumstances under which some of
these songs and poems were written
add much to their value and interest.
Poetry is usually the child of enthu-
siasm, but some of our war poetry was
born of trial and sorrow.
OF all the songs born or our great
civil war, none have appealed alike to
the North and the South as have
poems written when the smoke of bat

ceremonies. To his left was General
Fitzhugh Lee, idol and here of the
South. Visavis sat General Black, one
of the heroes of the Civil War and

Ohio. z>i .-}.' s.7>..t. -"
In the banquet hall, fianking these
guests and orators, were congressman
and ex-congressmen and party leaders
remote distances. Down in the pit of
the hall. to the number of more than
800, were residents of Canton and
many other persons prominent in state
politics. .
The absence of wine at the banquet
was tribute of Cantonians to their
late fellow citizen. Always tolerant
and considerate of others, President
Mckinley offered no objections to wine
at banquets where he was a guest of
honor, but on the occasion of several
such affairs arranged here distinctive
~ in his honor, he had expressed
wish that wine be eliminated.
Mrs. Mckinley Arrives.
In the midst of the serving of the
menu there was a sudden hush to the
festivities, and almost as one man the
vast assemblage arose to their feet
and for more than minute stood in
respectful silence. The occasion was
the arrival of Mrs. Mckinley, wife of
the late president. She was accom-
panied by large party of friends, in

A LOST ART.
The blend Of Metals Which Certain
Races Used For Tools.

The Hend of Metals which Certain
Races Used For Tools.
Fame and fortune await the lucky In
dividual who can rediscover the COM
bination of metals from which the
Epyptians. the Aztecs and the Incas
of Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each Of these nations reached
a high state of civilization. none Of
them ever discovered iron in spite Of
the fact that the soil Of all three coun-
tries was largely impregnated with It
Their substitute for it was combina-
ton of metals which had the temper
of steel. Despite the greatest efforts
the secret of this composition has baf-
fed scientists and has become lost
art. The great explorer, Humboldt,
tried to discover it from an analysis
Of a chisel found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could find
out was that it appeared to be COM
bination of small portion of tin with
copper. This combination will not give
the hardness of steel, SO it is evident
that tin and copper could not have been
its only component parts. Whatever
might have been the nature Of the me-
tallic combination, these ancient races
were able SO to prepare pure copper
that it equaled in temper the finest
steel produced at the present day by
the most scientifically approved proc
ess. With their bronze and copper in
struments they were able to quarry
and shape the hardest known stones,
such as granite and porphyry, and
even cut emeralds and Hike substances.
A rediscovery Of this lost art would
revolutionize' many trades in which
steel at present holds the monopoly.
II copper could thus be tempered now
it's advantage over steel would be very
great, and it would no doubt be pre-
ferred to the latter in numerous indus
tries. It is a curious fact that, though
this lost secret still battles modern SCI
entists, it must have been discovered
independently by the three races which
made use Of it SO long ago.-New York

How Javanese Settle auarrels.

The J%avanese ann Of settling
quarrels is quite original. When one
man has offended another the injured
party gives notice that he is angry by
drawing in the sand before the door
Of the offender a circle with a straight
line across it, indicating that his af-
lection, which would have been eter.
nal, has been cut in two. Friends of
both parties then shut them up. They
parley awhile, then pretend to be born
again, prattle as little children and final
ly as men become reconciled and en-
brace. Should one be refractory and
refuse to be conciliated he is %ostracized
by the community so effectually that
he is soon brought to terms. 1t is just
possible that our enlightened citizens
might consider this method better than
Touchdown arguments and certainly
much cheaper than going to law.
