The government public printer in a
statement made yesterday declared that
the printing Office had never been caPa-
BILE of better work and had never done
its work more expeditiouslv than during
the past session, contendiDg that with a
force of 400 fewer employees than when
he entered more congressional printing
had been done during last session than
10 all three of the sessions of the last
Congress. He stated that the error by
which the $4,000, 900 appropriation for
public buildings in Washington had
been retained in the sundry civil aPPro-
priatiou bill was due to an order from
the capitol. This was suspected from
the beginning. The bill was evidently
tampered with at the capitol by some
one interested ia selling property to the
government and the matter should be
thoroughly investigated.

Red FuIdabrand

The night was dark, the night was
still,
Inc evening breeze was damp and
chill
No stars shone DER the lonely hill
Where dwelt the robber band.
Red Huldabrand, the chieftain bold,
Had planned to rob the store of gold
That mouldered in the castle old
Beside the lonely strand.
No soldiers guard the castle now
Save one with noble, naughty brow,
Kept by strong and awful vow;
His courage never fails
Qucth Huldabrand, Brave warriors,
This gruesome work must needs be
done.
Why fear We? We are four to one
And dead men tell no tales,"
They passed the bridge, they stormed
the door,
Out flashed the swords and drew req
gore
From gaping wounds where flesh was
tore.
The warriors breath grew short,
But the defender, strong and gaunt,
No comrades brave, no help did want,
And answered every bitter taunt
With scornful, swift retort.
Then the brave soldier turned his
he,
Against the valiant Huldabrand,
For three had fallen by his hand.
The red chief stood alone
And forced the wounded soldiers
Aside, when forth a little maid
Sprang to her dying fathers al.
With grieyous sob and moan.
With gasps for breath the father died.
The child crept to the chieftain's side
With sudden sorrow terrified,
And grasped his swarthy hanu
Her helpless trust touched his hard
heart
With penitence, that painful dart,
And soon the lonely twain depart
Unto a distant land
The maid in beauty, gift OF health,
Unequaled, as she is in wealth;
Huldabrand living not in stealth
But honestly, then dwelt
Where the Rhine's limpid waters flow,
And every troubled man did go
To Huldabrand TO tell his woe
And he for all men felt

TWITCHINC NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have af-
fiicted i'll regular succession one genera
tion after another of their family are. as
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefnlness and a readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth RannellS, of No. 40S
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas.
gives the following account of her all.
ment and her cure:
For two years | suffered from irving
nervousness i'll my lower limbs from NV
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me-
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when nv
son was realizing benefit from the use of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. My trouble had then become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. | often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching dsap-
peared and | ceased to use the remedy.
evidently stopped a little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and | used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since
stopped using them the second time
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weaknessand the special ailments of girls
and women. For further information.
