Whose Say-sO is Best?

With nearly all medicines nut up fol

the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. OF course, such testimony Is
not that of disinterested party and
accordingly Is not to be given the same
credit as II written from disinterested
motives DR.. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to

sufferers are taken into DR.. Pierce's full

Put His Foot in It.

J. Nota McGill, ex-register of wills
for the District of Columbia, and now
professor of patent law at Georgetown
university, lost hat, point to q
joke, and goodly amount Of temper
yesterday. This is how it came to
pass:
Mr.. McGill was walking from the
patent Office up G.. Street to his own
Office, when he came face to face with
a nor'wester.
Mr.. McGill is not of the excitable
kind, but when that nor'wester struck
him he lost his head-or rather his
hat.
"Hey, there cried the ex-register,
stop that brand new hat of mine!
Won't some one stop it?"
There was something in the profess
sor's voice that appealed to a dapper
looking stranger, who made lunge
at the head gear, but could do no
better than put his feet through it.
Consequently the brim was the only
part recognizable after the fatality.
well, you certainly have put your
foot in it," shouted Mr.. McGill.
beg pardon, what did you say?"
asked the dude.
II say you've put your foot in it,"
"By Jove, say not so, old chap"
"Say not so yourself" growled the
professor "you surely have fixed my
hat up all right"
II am awfully sorry-weally," con-
fessed the dude. LET me ave it
mended."
ooh, no." said the ex-register with
sarcasm, "the brim is not worth a
crown now"

The officiating minister had heard
glowing reports of the rich bride his
young friend was getting and decided
that the fee would do him more good
than the newly married couple, and
therefore for once departed from the
usual rule. The bridegroom is still
sore about the 500, but the joke was
