he repeated, nervously.
The mask, which was almost three
feet III height, had two green horns at
its top. To each of the horns Ming Foo
tied little bunch of punks, which he
lighted; as the pungent aroma floated

Do you remember the little things that
gave us so much pleasure when we were
young? With what zest did we sit down to
the table after our play was over and eat the
mush and milk our mother put before US.
But as we get older it takes more to give
us pleasure Mush and milk no longer
tastes good to us, and our digestion may be
impaired The best advice we can give to
such person is to tone up the stomach with
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
Is natures most valuable and health-gtv1ng
agent-made without the use of alcohol. 1t
contains roots, herbs and barks and is the
concentration of natures vitality as found
in the fields and woods. This remedy has
a history which speaks well for 1t because
Il was given to the public by DR.. K. V:
Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y, nearly
forty years ago, and has since been sold by
druggists In ever increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tonics or compounds, en-
jov a large sale for e few years, then disap-
pear from the public attention, but DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence of
several generations in family, and its in
creased sales year by year coming nom the
recommendations of those who have tried
it, prove its lasting merit, so that every
bottle bears the stamp of public approval.
Every other blood-rnaker and tonic tor the
stomach that we know of contains alcohol,
but DR.. Pierce guarantees that no alcohol

A GOOD ACTOR.
How Famous French Advocate Won
Hopeless Murder Case.


Hopeless Murder Case.
Maitre Lachand, the famous advo-
cate, was perhaps the greatest master
of comedy in France, and not few
eminent actors envicd him his marvel
Gus powers OF mimicry. He was once
employed to defend a murderer,
against whom the facts were hopeless
ly clear.
When his pathetic appeals and his
tcars-Which were always at call when
ne pleaded before a country jury-fail-
ID to touch his stolid audience, he re-
sorted to the most impudent piece Of
trickcry. Thrusting his moistened
white handkerchief into his pocket, he
dcman led if the jurors were men, ii
they had human hearts, if they could
bring themselves to condemn fellow
man like the accused, whom he had
credited with all sorts OF chivalrous If
not sanity merits.
Hrs clOqucnce was not merely fruit
Tess, but the jury responded to it al
fest with uneasy shutting. then with
bling lips, and finally with loud and
uncontrolled bursts of laughter. La
chAnd, while flinglng about his hands,
had Intentionally dipped his fingers into
the great inlpOt in front Of him, and
as ne drew his right hand across his
forehead, as il in agony of despair at
the certain fate Of the accused, he left
upon his brow an enormous black
mark like 4 crescent moon and drew
two other black traces down his cheeks
as he put his fingers to his eyes to dash
AWAY the tears.
Fcigning high moral Indignation at
their conduct. he continued: You are
about to decide whether one of your fell
low men shall be thrust by you out Of
the ranks of the living. and you choose
such Il moment for INDUCING in cruel
and .h0ughtlcss laughter. Is this ex-
trava5ant mirth q fitting mood In
which to decide whether man shall
O. shall not die?"
The argument actually told upon the
Jury. The man was acquitted.-Paris
