"UncIe NeIson,sp Reasons,

Thayer's Compliment in Court,

On one occasion when ex-Congress-
man John R. Thayer was counsel for
the defense in the Central district
court he was cross-eXamining a wit
ness in the case of the Worcester and
Suburban street railway ticket forg-
cry. The witness, who was a con-
ductor on the road, had been arrested
for forging tickets.
A man named Jensen was employed
in the car barn of the road He was
not particularly bright, either in ap-
pearance or speech, and the conductor
had attempted to show that Jensen
was the originator of the scheme for
forging the tickets.
Thayer asked the witness, by way
of ridicule, if he did not believe Jen-
sen showed lack of capacity for put
ting up such job on the road, and
closed his cross-eXamination by say
ing: Doesn't he look like a bright
MANI"
The conductors reply. "He must be;

the attorneys and court so that Thay-
er did not pursue the examination fur

SENTENCE SERMONS.

Serenity comes in when selfishness
goes out.
He takes heaven everywhere who
has the happy heart.
Much of our sorrow is stuff we have
stolen thinking it was joy.
Thunders of applause give no prom
Use of showers of blessing.
They find the gates of heaven who
seek the good of humanity.
He who shuts the door of heaven on
another shuts himself out.
A good many moss would walk
with God If he would go blindfolded.
Civilization will be synonymous
with salvation when it has cured sin.
The only thing that makes any
work sacred is tho way that it is
done.
Every time you envy another man
his meal you drop gall into your own
plate.

A VindiCatiOn for DR.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court Of the
State, Against the Ladies' Home
journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies' Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association. of which
Dr. r, V. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
of his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number OF the
Ladies' Home Journal 5000, Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con-
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription"
that said medicine was vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever; that Mr..
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some of the ingredients Of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice.
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black
Cohosh and Unicorn. by means OF
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the "Fa-
vorite Prescription was cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-version, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause Of his professional experience
and the many thousands Of women
whose Ills had been cured by this
Prescription" The Vice-President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur

after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re-
quest and that the "Favorite Prescrip-

N. J.
Fifty-five million volumes in public
and school libraries of the United
States.
A well-equipped and well-regulated
playground is second only to a good
school.
Indiana is the only state whose
Congressional delegation has only col
lege-bred men.
Nearly forty per cent of the stu.
dents at the Mt Pleasant, Mich, nor
NAL school are men.
In 1900 there were Sc per cent of
the Harvard graduates living, now
there are 60 per cent.
Pennsylvania has but 1877 high
schools with a four-year's course.
There should be 1000.
The school nurse is no more fad
than family physician when typhoid
fever invades the home.

WHEREABOUTS OF AUNT MARY
Her Nephew Knew, But Then He
Was Well Trained.


The story told by Mark Twain the
other day about the estimate of John
Fiske, the historian, of two of his chill
dren's aunts, brought forth an illus
tration of the reasons for that opinion.
Mark Twain's story was that when
Mrs. Fiske one day went to her hus-
band in horror and reported that his
young son had said that Aunt Mary
was "a fool" and Aunt Martha "a d-n
fool" the historian replied, after care.
full consideration, well, that is about
the distinction I should make"
A man in the audience, who knew
both the aunts, after the meeting told
this:
Aunt Martha was one Of the strict
est disciplinarians | have ever known.
She demanded chiefly obedience of
her children, instant, unquestiong, ST.
lent obedience, and she usually got it..
One afternoon as she was working in
her sewing room a great storm came
up and she sent her son John to close
the trap door leading to the fiat roof
of the Queen Anne cottage.
But, mamma" said John.
John, l told you to shut the trap"
Eyes, but ma"
John, shut that trap!"
Cali right, mamma, if you say so,
but"
"John!"
John slowly climbed the stairs and
shut the trap. The afternoon went by
and the storm howled and ragged.
Three hours later the family gathered
for dinner, and when the meal was
half over and Aunt Mary had not APP
peared, Aunt Martha started an in
vestigation. She did not have to ask
many questions, John answered her
first one.
please, mamma, she is up on the
roof"

EnaIish Nobility In Trade.

English nobility has many matters
on its mind these days. 1t wishes to
keep busy above all things and there
are individuals who are looking for
gold galore by going into trade. Car.
pet weaving is the latest industry to
be invaded by these distinguished"
persons bent upon adding to incomes
or finding work for their tenantry.
Foremost among them is the Duchess
of Sutherland, who has started looms
at Helmsdale, in Sutherlandshire, In
order to help the women affected by
the decline in the Highland fisheries.
AS a purely business speculation the
Earl Of Pembroke and the Earl of Rad
nor have opened a carpet factory at
Wilton. They bring to that admirable
possession a cultivated taste and the
beautiful things which they promise to
turn out will be sought by devotees OF
the life luxurious.

GET RID OF THE GAS
Dr. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable IL to
Do Its Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter-
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough TO digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva O. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says 81 had u weak stomach
from the time l was little child.
Whenever / took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and l would
finally vomit what had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days i'll succession, would
have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
disagreeable, too.
"My DOCTORS medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until l tried DIR.
Williams Pink Pills that found cure.
Within three weeks decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, the pains
through my body We're not so intense,
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for few weeks longer found
that / was altogether free from the
miseries I had so long suffered"
Every dyspeptic should read "What
to Eat and How to Eat" Write the DIR.

MINES OF THE SHAFT VARIETY
Some at courrleres Extended Far Into
the Ground,

the Ground.
Coal mines are divided into two
kinds, the drift mine and the shaft
mine. The drift mine Is dug into the
side of the hill and extends by very
slow degrees downward. The coal is
brought to the surface in little cars
drawn on narrow gauge rails by don
keys.
These mines sometimes extend in
ward for over a mile in one direction.
The Courrieres mines are mostly of
the shaft variety, however Some of
these shafts are very deep. On the
day of the explosion men were heard
calling for help from depth Of nearly
half mile.
The miners in France do not use
the safety lamps that many mining
concerns In the United States now
compel their employees to use. These
lamps are little metallic oil-burning
affairs affixed to the miners hats. The
flame ignites from cotton wick, and
will burn hour after hour.
Not even the eternal vigilance of
the fire boss can prevent a holocaust
If the miners themselves become care
less.
In the Courrieres mines there are
great many condemned pockets" as.
they are called. These pockets at one
time or another become filled with
fire damp and the miners were warned
not to go near them.
One rumor as to the cause of the
explosion is that a miner, either care
less or ignorant of what he was do.
ing, opened a condemned pocket, mis-
taking it for an air chamber. In such
a case there would be an instantane-
Gus explosion. The detonation would
cause the other pockets to explode
and the explosions would continue
while there was any fire damp In the
mine.
The topography of the stricken dis
trict Is very irregular and very much
resembles that of Allegheny county,
Pa The district Is thickly populated,
and but a few miles out Of the line
of travel of the multitude Of tourists
who throng northern France every
year.
The mining population is not made
up principally of Frenchmen any more
than the mining population in the
United States is made up Of Ameri-
cans. Poles and Hungarians. as well
as a liberal sprinkling of Italians and
Russians, for the most part make up
Courrieres' population.
The town is gloomy, smoky and I'M
slightly, and does not offer much to
the sightseer to recompense him for
his visit. 1t is not mentioned in
Baedeker or in any of the other prom
inent guide books. 1t has one admir-
able statue dedicated to Jean de Mont
morency, however.

FOOD HELPS.
In Management Of a r. r.


Speaking of food, railroad man
says:
my work puts me out in all kinds
of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
For years I was constantly trou-
bled with Indigestion, caused by eat
ing heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poor
ly cooked food, such as are the most
accessible to men in my business. Gen
orally each meal or lunch was fol-
lowed by distressing pains and burn
ing sensations in my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost I'M
fitted me for work. My brain was SO
muddy and foggy that it was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about year ago,
when my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food by newspaper ad.
and l concluded to try it. Since then
/ have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev-
cry meal, and sometimes between
meals. We railroad men have little
chance to prepare our food in our ca
bosses and | find Grape-Nuts mighty
handy, for it is ready cooked.
ITO make long story short, Grape
Nuts has made a new man of me. I
have no more burning distress in my
stomach, nor any other symptom OF
indigestion. / can digest anything so
long as l eat Grape-Nuts, and my
brain works as clearly and accurately
as an engineers watch and my old
nervous troubles have disappeared en-

FABLE BROUGHT UP TO DATE,
Beware of Discouraging Industry and

Integrity.
A Hawk that had a dexterous way
of throwing three cards about one

"But l don't understand it," protest

bet that you can pick out the ace of

M. Jean Sarrien, head of the new

post Of minister Of justice at the time

Stomach Not a Necessity

While the value of a good stomach
Is undoubted, fortunately, says Prof
II. ]. Paterson, Nature is able to dis.
pense with this organ, as most Of its
functions can be performed by other
parts OF the alimentary canal. 1t has
been shown that dogs may gain in
weight and remain in perfect health
after removal of the entire stomach
while the elaborate observations made
on patient prove that the same holds
good of human beings. Until some
other cure for cancer is discovered
wide removal is the ideal operation.
