Great Vitality of Trees.

An illustration of the wonderful
vitality and reproductiveness of the
redwood is reported from Ukiah as ex-
listing in the forests Of MendocinO
County. 1t consists of the trunk Of a
redwood tree felled for the manufac-
ture of shingles, which after lying on
the ground undisturbed for several
months sprouted a number Of young
trees whose roots had developed in its
own body.
This development is enormously re-
ported, however, as the first case on
record where redwood completely sew
cred from the stump has produced a
new growth. Instances have been fire.
ouently recorded of felled redwood
trunks reproducing growth Of young
timber all along the line of the pros
trate log and travellers through the
coast forests have frequently observed
the phenomenon of rows of well-devel-
oped trees growing cut of the bodies of
those that have lain long enough on
the earth to perish and decay.

The Best Guaranty of Merit

Every bottle of DR.. Pierce's world

npcn its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines In q class all By themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why SO many unprecedented physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities
The further fact that neither DR..

Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper

ing in our indigenous, or native, medi-
Cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con-

glance at the formula printed on each

potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
ahe ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM

xTIM HERSEY'S LAST HOLDING
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Tim Hersey, founder Of towns, is
dead. But before he died that which
for years had been denied him was
his; the plot Of ground in the first of
his cities in which three Of his children
are buried was given to him by the
municipality of Abilene, Kansas. Tim
was the first settler of Abilene, says
q writer in the New York Sun, and his
wife named the town, taking the name
from the Bible, as she did that for
their next home, Solomon.
They went to the banks Of Mud Greek
In 1867, when buffalos by the thousand
grazed between them ana civilization
Their little log cabin was a stopping
place for overland travellers. Bayard
Taylor, Horace Greeley, General Grant
and General Sherman stayed there at
different times. Tim Hersey's" was
known all along the frontier. But
other settlers came, and Tim decided
that it was 'too thick for him." He
sold out and went up-river.
Three Of the Hersey children died
and were buried at Abilene. Their eld-
ers went on and founded Solomon,
Cawker, Beliot, Downs and score of
other places, moving from each as the
population became too numerous. At
last, In the onward march Of civiliza-
ton, they arrived in the great State
OF Washington.
sMeanwhile, Tim had never forgotten
the three graves in Abilene He went
back to Illinois on visit once, and
there bought and had marked appro-
priately three tombstones, to be set
over them. With these he went to
Abilene. But the wind-blown GENE

ground in thriving city, and in it
Tim could find no trace of the tiny
knobs. He went patiently over the
ground foot by foot without result and
at last abandoned the three stones and
went on to his new home.
Years afterward pathetic letter was
sent by him to the Abilene authorities,
asking that the three stones be for
warded to him in Washington. that he
might set them UP there. Abilene had
forgotten them, but the town was
searched. At last two of the stones
were found-one serving as doorstep
The third had disappeared.
But something better than the stones
was found. An old settler remembered,
when the thing was agitated, that years
before a sexton had pointed out GER

and had told him that that was where
some children were buried, off by them
