ONCE UPON
A TIME
There Was a Flourishing City
IN the Low1ands---A Story
With a Moral

Once upon time there was city
in the lowlands of a great nation,
and those who were merchants in
that city waxed fat and their wealth
grew great, and they owned many
houses and collected large revenues,
for their profits were great. and there
at they grew much puffed up And
il came to pass, in the fulness of
time, that the people Of that city
heard of other cities afar off where
merchandise could be bought much
cheaper, and they sent much money
away, and the young men wore good
clothes, and the ladies much fine
millinery and other garments that
they termed lingerie" the meaning
Wereof was unknown to the men.
And when the merchants OF that city
saw these things they grew wroth,
and one of them, who was an arti-
hcer of brass and fine metals. wrote
many articles and showed the peo-
pie the error of their ways, and much
was said about reciprocity, by means
whereof the merchants hoped to get
back their old profits in all their
richness and abundance; but when
the people learned how great were
these profits, they rebelled against
the kings. otherwise known as the
merchants, because the husbands and
the fathers and the sons were down
cast because their yives and daugh-
ters paid ninety y-nine cents at a bar
gain counter for merchandise that
cost nineteen cents; and the young
men said that in the seasons when
trousers should be cut like balloons,
the merchants of said city were jeal-
Gus of their cloth, and the wives and
the daughters said that their habits
and their skirts and their gowns were
not fashioned by these mighty mer-
chants according to the dictates of
the latest fashion bazaar And some
few wise men tried TO reason with
these merchants, and endeavored to
explain to them that if they would
supply the demands of the people of
that great city of the lowlands at
reasonable prices; that they could
make much more money, and accu-
mulate much more wealth, and the
merchants replied to the wise men,
SAYING: 1t is first necessary that we
make much more money. And there
upon the people continued to send
their money into distant lands, and
the merchants of that city were A
perverse and obstinate set, and con-
tinued to complain bitterly, and
would not be reasoned with, and
looked sullen, as if they had the dys-
pepsia. and charged the people with
ingratitude. and the few wise men
| aforesaid charged the merchants that
they had got the cart before the
horse, and told them that if they
would supply really what the peo-
Die demanded and were willing to
pay for, and not attempt to force
upon the people last years goods
at this years prices, and not make
all their profits on one sale, bun
make many sales at reasonable pro-
fits, that the rebellion would be
crushed. But the merchants muir
INJURED for the flesh pots of old pro-
fits, and would not harken unto the
| wise men.

him for several months, commencing at

his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, IN fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him RELIEF. The
family doctor seemed to be- wholly
incapable Of coping with the case, and
after various experiments OF his, which
resulted in mo benefit to the child, We
sent to Macon, Ill, to s druggist and got
a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
{ Is improve ,imned iately, and IN about
three or four days began to show 3
brighter spirit and really laughed, for

days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of rough skin, which y
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by ashealthy one.
PRAISE for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
