Sad Funeral Procession.

A Paris correspondent records a
touching scene, in which an ugly, i'll.
kept, nondescript dog was the princi-
pal actor. Behind the hearse of a
funeral procession recently, which was
of the poorest description, walked
the only mourners. three women weep
ing bitterly under their long Grape
wells, anud an old man with tears fall
ing upon his grey beard. That was
all. No carriages, no friends other
than the mournful four, followed the
dead to it's last resting-place. The
rain fell in torrents. Trotting in the
mud close beside the wheels of the
hearse was the dog. Every now and
then he would spring upon the step,
and, clambering on to the dismal pail
which covered the coffin, crouch close
beside it.

Its personnel was varied as to age

member of this organization. Crossett

which he never took off nine months

One evening the band members were
being drilled in a rather quieter selec-

endeavoring to tone down some OF the

who played the bass instrument, seem

Crossett looked up out of his ''muf-

as unbolting door.

of the bolt to be unfastened.
At seven o'clock next morning the
alarm will Ego off," of course without

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
MIXTURE is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce:
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie, and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
II not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af-
dicted.
Be willing to start anew IL You
fail. The experience you have had
will count.
