II have recommended DIR. Williams
Pink Pills to many people" said Mrs.
Gossett, because have seen such good
results, time after time, right in my own
family. There are three of us who have
no doubt about their merits. We do not
need to take anybody's word on the sub
iect for our own experience has taught US
how well they deserve praise.
- 1t was just about ten years ago that
I first read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and bought my first box. Twas at
that time all run down, weak. nervous
aud without ambition | had been doc
toring all summer for malaria aud
stomach trouble. Everybody thought
was going into consumption, as my
mother had died OF that disease.
Thanks TO DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
am now alive and hearty. i began to
improve as soon as began to take them,
and when had taken three boxes was
well woman. Everyone wonders how I
keep so well and am able to care for my
home and six children without help.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills explain it.
my oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained Of sharp pains In
her head, would get deathly sick and
have TO leave the school room to got fresh
air to revive her. gave some pills to her.
She took only few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her TO develop
into perfect picture Of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why we recon-
mend them TO others"
Mrs. Minnie b. Gossett lives mt
Uhrichsyille, Tuscarawas Co, Ohio, and
is well known, as she has resided in the
same neighborhood for more than thir-
teen years. Her story shows that n
medicine which makes the blood sound
and the nerves strong, oyercomes vari-
ety of diseases and should be found in
every household. Dr. Williams Pink Pills
nre sold by all druggists everywhere.
They have cured anaemia and all forms
Of weakness, also the most stubborn
cases of dyspepsia and rheumatism.
They are indispensable for growing girls.

At 70 Years of Ace a Cadet.

II is not often that man of seventy
years of age goes to school. II IL
more rare yet to- find one enlisted as
@adet, drilling an hour each day
and taking lively interest in his
military duties.
The latter, however, is not strange
when the fact is remembered that
this same cadet, William Standifer OF
Kinds county, Miss, Is veteran Oh
the civil war, was gallant soldier In
the Confederate army and bears scars
to attest his bravery in many an en-
gagement during four long years.
Now, in the sunset of his life. Ia

indiscriminately about, and in this
case it might be to the hurtfulness of
our attire. We were both dressed
faultlessly, and out for an airing.

along the unpaved and rutty street,

for quite a second, with the lowering
coquetry of a great beauty, sure OF
her conquest-and then she. dropped
her lids in languid haughtiness. There
was no recognition in her glance; no

carriage rolled past
"Slife! Who is the beauty? ex-
claimed Mister Arnold. you seem
to know her"
What I answered him I know not.
How excused myself, as hastily left
him, know not also. The insinuat-
ing smile caught upon his clean
shaven lips recalled to my mind that
he was not one to stop at any scruples
he ought to have when dressing up a
story to suit the over-nice palates of
his score of cronies; fitting it out
with that spiciness of flavor which
delighted those scandal-mongers. I
trusted somewhat in his being my
friend and his good nature. II they

SALUTE FROM THE PRIVATE.
Specially Witty Remark Credited to
Representative Allen.

Representative John Sharp Will
Jams says that the wittiest utterance
that ever he heard from Private"
John Allen, for SO long the wit of
the house, was delivered one evening
in hotel lobby in Washington dur
ing the period of Cleveland's second
administration. Allen, who was sur
rounded by party of friends eagerly
listening to his stories, was in partic-
ularly fine form. He had paused in
one of his yarns to salute Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson as he passed. The
Illinois statesman, however, did not
perceive the greeting, for, with his
head bowed, apparently in deep medi-
tation, and with his hands clasped be-
hind him, he strobe on without a
glance in the direction of Aliens par
ty. Gentlemen" solemnly observed
the Private "there you behold man

Nations Quarrel over Islands.

Australia is afraid that France Will
annex the New Hebrides islands, but
there are many people living in these
isles of the western Pacific who would
be glad If they could be annexed by
any power. For the blessings OF rule
under an Anglo-French convention are
somewhat mixed. The Briton is for
hidden by his own rulers from import
ing spirits, while the Frenchman does
merry trade, selling his liquid fire
for substantial acres, thus gradually
establishing his predominance over
the fettered Anglo-Saxon. England
has a historic claim to rule in these
regions. for it was Capt. Cook, who. In
1773. gave the islands their name. I'M
der the belief that they were the post
westerly isles in the Pacific.
