Whv Men Die Fast.

Col. Bent Murdoch, who is gooa
liver himself, hasn't any sympathy with
the high liver who goes to rack So
called big statesmen, warriors,
professional and business men-go all
to pieces in an hour" says he. And the
why and the wherefore? They know.
We know. Everybody knows, and yet
nobody cares. The world says, let them
die, there are plenty left. The man who
stuffs like a pig, drinks like fish and
loafs like a hobo will collapse. The man
who lives fast dies fast. No getting over
that proposition. While the one who
lives nationally, sanely, lives long and
dies slowly and peacefully. Too many
people are burning the candle at both
ends. But then why preach, why prate,
why refer to it? They are not missed
and there would be no place for them
should they come back. Kansas City

BY HON. GEORGE W. PECK
(Ex-Governor of Wisconsin. Formerly
Editor of 'Peck's SUM- Author Of
'Peck's Bad Boy" Etc,)
Copyright, 1905. BY Joseph B. Bowles)
The old grocerman was sitting in the
old grocery one fine spring morning,
locking over his accounts, as they were
written on quire of brown wrapping
paper with blunt lead pencil, and
wondering where he could go to collect
me hey to pay note that was due at
thu. bank at noon on that day. He
was looking ten years older than he did
the year before, when the Bad Boy had
played his last trick ON the old man,
and gone abroad to chaperone his sick
father, in search for health and ad
venture. The old man had missed the
boy around the grocery, and with no
one to keep his blood circulating, and
his temperature occasionally soaring
above the normal, he had failed in
health, and had read with mixed feel
ings of joy, fear and resentment that
the Bad Boy and his dad had ar
rivhd home, and he knew it could not
be song before the boy would blow in
and he was trying to decide whether
to meet the boy cheerfully and with
a spirit of resignation. or to meet him
with a club; whether to give him the

thinks he got the worth of his money.
you remember before he went away
he thought the doctors who operated
on him for that 'pendicitus left q
monkey wrench in him when they
sewed him up. Well, after he began
to drink that water he found iron
rust on the towels when he took a
bath. and he believes the monkey
wrench was sweat out of him. Say, does
your dog like candy?"
20, yes, he eats a little," said the
groceryman, and the boy tossed a
piece of candy such as he gave the
king Of Spain, with cayenne pepper in
it, to the dog, which swallowed 1t
whole, and the old man said: Now, I
suppose your father is cured, you will
all stay at home for awhile, and set

BULLETS DO NOT STOP FOE
Modern Projectiles Not Half So
Deadly as Those of Former
Days.

The report Just published by three
Russian army doctors in Manchuria,
DR.. Zoge Won Manteuffel, DR.. Kholine
and DR.. Zeldovitch, on the character
of the wounds inflicted by the JAPAN
ese rife bullets, confirms existing evi-
dence, says the Lancet, that modern
gun NAL ing tends TO increase the
death roll of battle, but to reduce the
list OF wounded to minimum, while
the amount of suffering endured from
gunshot wounds is growing incredibly
small. During the South African war
the Mauser bullet was shown to have
dealt gently with its victims while
performing its deadly work. but the
humanitarian perfection attained by
the Japanese rifle is so much greater
than that of the Mauser as to sound
almost like dream.
The sober medical report from the
hospital wards reminds one of the old
Arabian story of the skillful execu-
toner whose victims head remained
attached to the trunk even after the
Damascus blade had whistled through
the neck, but fell off as soon as the
condemned man bowed in supplication
before the cadi. Owing to the extraor-
dinary velocity of the Japanese missile,
says DR.. Kholine, there is no portion
of the human structure that can de-
fleet it from its course. A book three
and half inches thick and bound in
wood would fail to do so Wounds
caused by it perforate the body in
clean, straight line drawn with mathe-
matical accuracy, the exit of the bull
let being marked by no greater orifice
than the entry, not the tiniest bruise
being apparent, and the two openings
being so small that in many cases the
surgeon fails to discover them with
out the help of the patient.
DR., Won Manteuffel cites cases Of
officers shot through the leg, chest or
neck and still able to retain their COM
mands as if nothing had happened,
Dr. Zeldovitch saw soldiers on the
march with wounds straight through
s-AN 'Hoi"A; "hiNh lHcy Hdu ISCelV6u
some 80 kilometers back along the
line of retreat, and DR.. Kholine speaks
of man remaining on active service
in spite of bullet wound right
through the chest, between the second
and third ribs. The elasticity of the
pulmonary tissue is supposed to con-
tribute to these astonishing results
while as for abdominal wounds peri
tonitis seems practically unknown,
the fiber of the intestine closing auto
matically behind the bullet, which
never carries particle of the cloth
ing into the wound a clean cut snip
like that made by pair of tailor's
scissors being all that is observable
upon the cloth.
These results may we'll be contrasted
with those reported after the massacre
of January % this year in st. Peters
burg. There. for fear of killing people
at a great distance the troops had
been ordered to fire at the ground a
rev feet before the first line of the
crowd. The wounds were consequently
all caused by recochetting bullets and
resembled in their horrible character
the effects of bursting bombs.

AWFUL NEURALGIA.
Mr.. Porter Thought He Should Go Mad
But DIR. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Him.

"It seems like q miracle that DIR.
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia, said Mr.. Porter. "They
are certainly marvellous medicine and
am always glad to recommend them.
"For two years, he continued, "I had
suffered almost tunendurable pains in my
head. They would start over my eyes
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my face, and st
times every part of my hetM and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were so intense that I actually
feared they would drive me mad.
my eyes ached constantly and there
was alwaysa a burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied,
sometimes they were acute, and again
they were dull and lingering. I could
not sleep. My temper was irritable and
got no pleasure out of life.
II tried remedy after remedy, but
finding no help i'll any of them, be-
came despairing man. Even when
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills
had no great hope of cure.
"That was in December of 1908. To
my surprise, change III my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks were
further apart, asI kept OH using DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when I had
used six boxes l stopped. My cure was
complete and has lasted ever since"
Mr.. Charles H. Porter lives at Ray
mond, N. II. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbornly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but
sciatica, partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia yield to them. They are sold by
all druggists, or may be obtained directly

fast the fallirs had divided it up among

what was going to be his share, and
it was just like getting a check from

there again we would give the money
to some particular falir to divide with
the rest, and then take few swallows
of their rotten egg water, and get
out.
Say. did you ever eat a piece of
custa"d pie made out of stale eggs?
Well, that is just about the same as
the Carlsbad water, only the water
is nol baked with raw crust on the
bottom. But the doctor dad consult
ed was a peach. Dad asked him how
much of the water he ought to drink,
and the doctor held a counsel with
himself" and said dad might drink
all he could hold, and when dad asked
him how much his charges were, he
said: oh, wait till you are cured
So dad thought he was not going to
charge for his advice, but after we had
drank the water for ten days, and dad
was so weak he couldn't brush the
flies off his bald spot, we decided to go
to rest cure, and when we had our
tickets bought the doctor attached our
