Only Farrell was dissatisfied. His

BY the end Of the week Emily, who
had taken all her elderly neighbors,
one at a time, to drive, paid with the
utmost cheerfulness for her horse,
for she still loved him.
One bright morning, three weeks
later, the entire neighborhood turned
out to inspect the horse There was
certainly something very much amiss,
and the trouble, whatever it was, was
visible from the outside.

WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties it was usually the
duty Of practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
npund OF visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
q splendid medical training In one of the
best medical colleges of that day was ac-
customed to ride ten, twenty, thirty miles
or more visiting the sick and afflicted.
His success was soon phenomenal. Doc
tors and families called him for consulta-
ton to towns at considerable distances
by rail. His speciality was the cure of
those common and distressing diseases
Of women. He had early discovered that
by combining the extracts of the follow
ing medicinal plants, in just the right
proportion, without the use of alcohol his
Prescription almost invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public i'm a shape easily
to be procured, he established a labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, where regu-
larly qualified chemists were put in
charge to accurately prepare his 0Pre-
scription" and put it in shape for ship
ment to all parts of the world. This
remedy, which he named DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not a rpatent
medicine" but a tonic and nervine for
women, and regular physicians pre-

Went Down Twice

Against the commands of his
mother, Phil Guernsey stole away
from home Sunday and in company
with Frank Campbell and a
smaller lad went down to David's
Creek in Surgeons pasture. Phil
was walking along the edge of the
bank when it suddenly gave way
and he was launched into the deep
and muddy water in an instant and
having on pair of rubber boots
which filled with the water, he was
unable to help himself or swim
out. He sank twice when Frank
lying flat on the bank extended his
arms when the drowning lad
clutched at his hand and succeeded
in getting hold of one finger when
Frank succeeded in pulling him
where he could get firm grip on
him and brought him to shore.
The Moral is obvious and it will be
some time most likely before Phil
will forget it,

A New Swind1e Scheme

In these days of confidence when
a great deal of business is carried
on the trust plan, it is well to be
on guard against strangers. The
old adage Never sign a paper for
a stranger" should be followed
now more than ever. The Shenan-
doah World tells about new trick
practiced in the southern part of
the state. Representatives. of a
real estate firm with headquarters
in the northern part of the state
have gone among the farmers, in
ducing them to list their proper
ties with them for sale. The con-
tract gives the impression that
there ia no expense attached, it be-
ing. specified that the properties
will be shown free of charge to
prospective buyers. There is then
clause which authorizes the COM
pany to list the property in their
advertisements, and the contract is
closed with clause that the real
estate owner promises to pay one
dollar per acre when the company
has fulfilled it's part. This last is
nearly always taken to mean that
the signer is to pay this when the
land is sold, but it turns out to be
when they have filled their part OF
the advertisement, no matter
whether sale is made or not. The
contract proves to be a note and
judgment is almost immediatel y
entered. The location of the com.
pany's headquarters make it diff
cult for people in the southern part
of the state to do anything with
them. One man who had thus
been buncoed, had to pay one
thousand dollars with no return
but the experience. In dealing like
this, as in everything else. it is best
to patronize local men.-Ex.

Extra 3, Guthrie Center !

The seven inning game played
between Extra and Guthrie Center
was short, sweet and full of sensa.
tional plays. The Center boys were
a gentlemanly bunch and played
pretty ball, but they were out-ciass-
ed. The diamond was slippery, the
home plate muddy and the field
wet, and the very few errors made
were excusable. Four grand stand
plays were made. The first was
made by Sturgeon at third base,
who leaped in the air, made fran
tic one-handed grab at a high liner
that struck his mitt, ricochetting
into left center, but "Sturg" made a
run and smothered it before it hit
the ground. This play was follow
ed in next inning by liner being
batted to Varney at first who gath
cred it, touched first, snapped it to
second, thus putting out two base
runners who had started to run on
fly ball, with the man caught out
making one of the very few triple
plays made in any game. The Cen
ter's short stop, seeing that he was
unable to reach a short fly 10 infield
threw himself forward as if to slide
to base and by adding his six
feet of stature was enabled to keep
the spheroid from touching the
grass. 1t was a very pretty play
and showed quick head work. Nc
Carl took hot liner one handed
out of the sky and dragged it
to earth; but, pshaw, that's nothing
Mack does that right along-he
don't know any better. Reese, plus
smile, kept the batters guessing
and tanning as usual, and Brown
lies Get another one up to bat"
almost became monotonous. AT
the end of the seventh inning the
rain stopped the game with the
score of 3 to in favor of Extra.

When the sparrow weighs ton
When gold dollars get too cheap
When women secrets keep;

When girls go back on gum
When the small boy hates a drum
