could make much out of him, but,
at this last meeting, some one put
his arms about him and pityingly
said: What's the matter, my dear

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH
lar to the above greet us in the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness OF the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients of
which DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
OF the leading writer's on lIGteria Mcdicd
Tor the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENsAToRY, a stand
ard authority, Uto impart tone and III
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic Tor the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly COM
posed OF muscular tissue, it naturally
follows that it must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably. the most important ingredient
of Golden Medical Discovery" so far
as its marvellous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart arc con-
cerned, is Stone root, or COlIinSonid Can,
Prof.. VIM. Paine, author of Paine's
Epitomy of Medicine, says of it:
VI, not long since, had q patient who was
SO much oppressed with valvular disease of
the neart tnaJ his friends were Obliged to
Sarry him upstairs. He. however gradually
recovered under the influence of Collinsonin
medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root. and Is now attending to his business.
Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy
Tor the removal of so distressing and 80 dan
gerous a malady. With them it was all
guess work, and it fearfully warned the
afflicted that death was near at hand. Col
llnsonin unQuestionably affords relief in
such cases, and in most instances effects q
cure"
Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for
valvular and other diseases of the heart.
The latter says: ut is heart tonic of
direct and permanent influence"
rGolden Medical Discovery" not only
cures serious heart affections but is
most efficient general tonic and invigor-
ator, strengthening the stomach, invig-
Grating the liver, regulating the bowels
and curing catarrhal affections in all
parts of the system.

he Laughed Lagt.

A certain lady who wished to have
some fun at the expense of an agent
who had ofttimes solicited her to in
sure herself and family, asked him Oh
one occasion if he would insure the cat.
The agent, to the establishment and no
small amusement of some friends,
promptly offered to do so, provided she
paid the first premium down. The
lady, still thinking to hoax him, ex-
pressed her willingness to do so, and
placed a shilling on the table. The
agent quickly produced a proposal,
filled it in and obtained her signature
While those present were on the tiptoe
of expectancy as to what was to fol-
low.
Now, madam, with your permission,
may 1 see the cat?'
Certainly" she replied, at the same
time pointing to a glass case which
contained the stuffed remains of the
poor defunet cat.
A chorus of derisive laughter burst
from all present, but to their dismay
the agent turned, bowed politely, at the
same time picking up the shilling, and
exclaimed:
when that cat dies, madam, kindly
call at our office and claim the insur-
ance money. Good rning."-London

The Fountain Pen.

The fountain pen is not an invention
of recent years. In Samuel Taylor
Universal System of Shorthand Writ
ing" published in 1856, we find proof
of the fountain pens great age.
Il have nothing more to add" wrote
Samuel Taylor, for the use or instruc-
ton of the practitioner, except a few
words concerning the kind of pen prop
er to be used for writing shorthand.
For expeditions writing some use what
are called fountain pens, into which
your ink is put, which gradually flows
when writing, from thence into a small
er pen cut short to fit the smaller end
of this instrument, but it is a hard
matter to meet with a good one of this
kind"
Amador ledger., 1906-08-31
The Pointer.

There is as much fallacy in attempt
ing to prove the origin of pointing as in
like attempt to prove the origin Of
eating. As a matter of fact, the point
ing act commonly exhibited by the
pointer and setter is an incident of the
capture or attempted capture of food
by dogs, and also by wolves and foxes.
Coyotes have been seen to draw and
point on prairie dogs and grouse in
precisely the same manner that the
pointer and setter draw on game birds.
There were the same rigidity and
stealth, the pause to judge of distance
and opportunity and the final rigid
pause when all the energies are con-
centrated for the final spring to cap
ture. All the phenomena displayed by
the dog family indicate that the draw
ing and pointing in the pursuit of prey
were ever natural traits. 1t may be
reasonably believed that man could
not breed the pointing instinct out of
the dog if he attempted to do so.--

The story of an 1nvention.

The power loom was the invention of
farmers boy, who had never seen 0e
heard of such a thing. He fashioned
one with his penknife, and when he got
it all done he showed it with great en-
thusiasm to his father, who at once
kicked it all to pieces, saying he would
have no roy about him who would
spend his time on such foolish things.
The boy was sent to a blacksmith 10
learn a trade, and his master took
lively interest in him. He made d
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up and showed it TO
his master The blacksmith saw lie
had no common boy as an apprentice,
and that the invention was a valuable
one. He had loom constructed under
the supervision Of the boy. 1t worked
to their perfect satisfaction, and the
blacksmith furnished the means 10
manufacture the looms, and the boy
received half the profits. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boys
father that he should bring with him
a wealthy gentleman, who was the in
ventor of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able to judge of the as
constituent at the old home when his
son was presented to him as the in
ventor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that ne
had kicked to pieces the previous year.

..nrnn In the Street.

Emerson was not the first to use this
phrase in his Conduct of Life" which
was published in 1860. In the first Sc
ries of the "Greville Memoirs" under
date March %, 1880, occurs the follow
ing passage:
'Then will come the question of a
dissolution, which one side affirms will
take place directly, and the other that
the king will not consent to it, know
ing, as the man in the street (as we
call him at Newmarket always does,
the greatest secrets of kings and being
the confdant of their most hidden
thoughts"
1t would appear from this that the
expression was in common use among
racing men in 1S30-Notes and Que
rieS.

The First Stove.

The most important uses of fire were
taught by fire itself. As the primitive
man stood near the flames Of the burn
ing tree and felt their pleasant glow he
learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through a forest and overlook a deer
and baked it he learned that fire might
be used to improve the quality of his
food. The hint was not lost. He took
a burning torch to his cave or hut and
kindled him fire on his floor of earth.
His dwelling filled with smoke, but he
could endure the discomfort for the
sake of the fires warmth and for the
sake of the toothsomeness of the cook
ed meats. After a time a hole was
made in the roof of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out
Here was the first stove. The print
tive stove was the entire house, the
floor was the fireplace and the hole in
the roof was the chimney. The word
"stove" originally meant ga heated
ROOM" So that if we should say that
at first people lived in their stoves we
would say that which is literally true.
