FACIAL PARALYSIS
Nervous Dlstortion Of Faeo Cured ~
Dr.. WllIlamos Pink Pile.

Nervous Dletortion Of Face Cured ~
Or. Wllliams' PINK Pile.
What appears to be q slight nervous
attack may be the forerunner ola severe
disorder. No nervous sufferer should
neglect the warning symptoms, but
should zee that the starved nerves are
nourished before the injury to the DELI
cate organism has gone to an extent that
renders cure q difficult matter. The
nervesreceive theirnourishment through
the blood, the same as every other part
of the body, and the best nerve tonic and
food is DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The
experience of Mr.. Harry Bemis, OF
Truthville, Washington county, N. T.,
substantiates this.
81 had been feeling badly for long
time" said Mr.. Bemis, "and In the
early part Of September, 1902. / was com.
pelled to quit work on account Of my Ill
health. My trouble was at first ex-
IRENE nervousness, then my sight be-
came affected and consulted an oculist
who said was suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some time, but got
no benefit. tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief. My
nervousness increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild. Ny mouth
was drawn so I could scarcely eat and
one eye was affected SO could hardly
see. 1 had very little use Of my limbs,
In fact was almost q complete wreck.
81 am all right now and am at work.
That is because I followed my wife's ad-
vice and took DR.. Williams Pink Pills:
She had used the same remedy herself
with the most gratifying results aud she
persuaded me to try them when 1t ap-
peared that the doctors were unable to
help me. They acted very surely In my
in time I was entirely we'll" :.

No Longer a MYTH,

properly. knockers-have attempted to

little Ratchet They have contended
that the alleged incident never trans.

the face Of such proof, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, who will deny
that the father Of his country did cut
down the cherry tree, and then refuse
to lie about it? It is gratifying that
tradition so dear to the American
heart should be so strikingly proved
true. And the calumniators should
now be forever silenced. We should de-
post that Ratchet in the Smithsonian
institution, and whenever a mocker
arises to deny the truth of the cherry
tree episode we will crush and con-
vince him by showing him the Ratchet

would suggest that the presidents

breast the form Of the virgin who had
sought death.
. He clambered into the boat, then
sank down unconscious. They took
her from his arms, and the magician
set to work with his skill and medi-
cines to bring the two back to life.
Soon there we're good signs.
But" said the magician, "one
thing only will make them live;
must seek an herb that grows at the
bottom Of the lake."
He quietly slipped into the water.
In his absence the emperor opened
lis eyes; at the same moment the
eyes of the maiden opened and met his.
And she knew then that she was the
beloved of the emperor; and he knew
that he was beloved of her.
But woe, woe, woe!" cried the
maiden. my doom is still to lie a.
the bottom of the lake with the .ur-
quoise ornament; and unless that be
found, am but lost spirit"
They looked and beheld the old ma
gician emerge from the lake.. AS IL
his body possessed no deterrent weight
he lightly sprang into the boat.
Know, 0 Son Of Heaven" he said
that the loss and the sinking Of the
turquoise ornament was the work OF
the Unseen. How else should you
know that life is not life unless this
maiden be near your hearth"
TRUE, magician" sadly returned the
emperor. 81 cannot live without her.
Therefore must we die together; for
the unseen powers will demand her Of
me unless the turquoise be found"
The magician lightly touched the
head of the maiden.
See" he said, "she must have sunk
on the exact spot where the ornament
lay. And lying prone at the bottom
of the lake, her hair was tossed about
and around the turquoise, which be-
came entangled with the raven strands
and rose to light and life with her"
They looked and saw that the tur-
ouoise indeed now again shone in her
hair. None had observed the magi-
clans deft act of restoring the jeweI
he had brought from the deep.
Yoritimo drew the virgin to his
breast.
Have l cheered your heart, o Son
Of Heaven" asked the magician.
II have found happiness" the en-
peror vouchsafed to reply.

Farms of the South.

Farms of the South.
While it is true that the Industrial de-
yelopment Of the south is going forward
with amazing rapidity, It is nevertheless
true that, by virtue of the extent of the
agricultural interests of the south, ag-
riculture is yet the foundation of the
business Of that section. A change
from poverty to prosperity of the farm
er, and change from land without
selling value to land in demand at an
advance of from SO to $50 per cent. over
the nominal price of one or two years
ago. is the most far-reaching develop
ment In southern advancement of the
last quarter of century. 1t Is far
reaching In many ways, says the Manu-
facturers' Record. 1t means that within
the last year or two southern farm prop
critics have increased not less than
$1,000, 100000 in value, probably at least
81 800, 600, 900. But more than that, II
means that under the improved finan-
cial condition the southern farmer has
gained new courage, new backbone, that
he has learned how to market his cot
ton crop; that he has fought to finish
the great battle as to whether the pro-
ducer or the speculator is to control the
price OF his staple. Having won this
fight, the entire handling of cotton from
the field to the factory, whether the fac
tory be In this country or in Europe,
has entered upon an entirely new stage
In its history. 1t also means that land
will be more thoroughly cultivated, for
the successful man, whether he be
farmer, merchant, or a manufactur-
or, Is always better able to work to good
advantage than the one who is fighting
q losing battle. During the last six years
the total value of the cotton crop, in
GLIDING seed, has been $500, 000, 900,
against $2,1s0.000,0OO for the pre-
ceding six years, showing a gain in the
last six years over the preceding six of
over $1,400,000,0 900. 1t is not, however,
due to this great increase in cotton
alone that the southern farmer is in
BETTER shape. More and more has the
diversifcation Of agriculture gone on;
more and more have fruit growing and
truck raising, hog and hominy," with
the meathouse at home rather than in
the west, been developed throughout the
south.

Every now and then some statisti-
clan with too much liver utters figures
showing that the worlds coal supply
will last only few hundreds of years.

And from the eyes of the maiden
tears began to fall.
Now it was that Yoritimo felt pain
and sorrow. At once he knew that
never before had he been unhappy. All
his life had been a dull content. But
now the anguish and darkness covered
lis soul. And he said, sorrowfully:
"If your doom is to sink beneath
these waters. maiden, SO shall be mine;
for will follow you to the under
world and my spirit shall adore yours
for all eternity
Then a sudden suspicion reused the
emperor's anger.
"You are in the power of the magi-
clan who sent you. He shall dle!''
moi Blame him not, o Son Of
Heaven. Let me pass from your sight
forgotten"
The virgin dropped her oar, and
leaned over the side Of the boat to
throw herself into the lake.
"Only If the turquoise be saved can
I be saved. The turquoise Is lost, and
60 1t Is with me. FAREWELL"
He saw her form sink slowly be-
meath the surface of the water, on
the spot where the turquoise had sunk.
Between the despair of losing her
and the hope of saving her, he also
leaped into the lake.
Suddenly the magician, Shikano, ap-
peared in a boat beside the virgins.
Fear not" said he; "Yoritimo loves
her truly; both shall be happy"
At that moment the emperor rose
out of the water, holding closely to hia
