FAMOUS PAINTINGS.

The strange vicisstudes through
which some of the most highly priced

holiday IN Yarmouth. CHANGING one
day to be turning over the thousand

FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS

Pink Pills,

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner
vous fever. During the course of the
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and when it is over they are
left SO sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded, regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
but also to strengthening the nerves. A
remedy that will do both, make sound

to feeble nervA., is the most convenient

THE WAITER WAS CURIOUS.
Rcked His Hand Into Bag of "Crab-
Apples" with Disastrous
Result.

-Four men, two Of them carrying big
potato sack between them, walked into
the Hotel Neudig cafe at Twelfth and
Market streets. shortly before closing time
the other night, and sat down at one of
the tables. The bag was carefully de-
posted IN a corner, relates the Philadel-
phia Press.
A German waiter took the order with
one eye on the sack. Finally his Gu,
riosity got the better of him.
Dot IS a, big bag, amt it? he said.
"Not is in him"
Apples, Fritz" said one of the men.
Take some home to the children"
The waiter accepted the invitation and
plugged his land into the sack. He
brought IT out again in hurry, with a
hard-shell crab cllging to one of his
fingers.
Two hundred brothers and sisters of the
first crab promptly took advantage of The
open mouth OF the bag to crawl to lib
elty. They backed out Of the sack with
a rush and took possession of the cafe

chorus.

HOW TO TELL A STATESMAN
Not Only Man Who Makes Speeches
But Fl Man-Who Makes
Good Ones.

tee Visiting the Saunders school soon
after the death of Garfield relates The
Boston Herald, Sheriff Herrick spoke
to the pupils of the life of the late
distinguished statesman, and thus asked,
genially:
"Now, can any of you tell me what a
statesman is?"
A little hand went up, and little girl
replied;
"a statesman is man who make,
speeches"
Hardly that" answered Mr.. Herrick,
who loved to tell this story. For instance,
| sometimes make speeches, and yet | am
not a statesman"
The little hand again went up, and the
answer came, triumphantly:
Il know; statesman is a man who
makes good speeches."
