Ricnesieu as an Editor.

The first reporter of France was
Louis XIII. The National library pos
sesses the manuscripts oflthirty-six ar
ticles written by that king. Almost all
are accounts Of his military operations.
These articles We're published in the
Gazette de France. The copy" how
ever, did not so directly to- the printer.
Louis XIII. wrote abomingole French,
and he had vague notions of orthogra-
ply His articles were corrected and
often entirely rearranged by a secre-
tary named Lucas, who copied them,
sending to Richelieu the new manu-
script. Richelieu examined it in his
turn and often introduced additional
corrections. At the siege of Corbie the
king wrote a few lines eulogistic of the
cardinal but afte-ward crossed them
out of his article. Richelieu wrote
them in again, and 50 they appeared in

HUMOR OF THE HOUR


And IL WOuld Take n Good Many.
While spending my vacation up in
the mountains last summer / CHANGED
to get into conversation with one Of
the hotel hostlers. The night previ-
Gus he had been fishing, and he started
to tell me of his luck
How many did you catch" asked.
"Oh, about twenty-five or thirty"
You don't say. Were there any big
ones among them?"
"Well, should say! A good many
of them would weigh nigh on to three
or four pounds"
Heavens" said |. That must have
been an awful haul Would you mind
showing them to meY
Sure not. Come right back here
I've got 'em in pail"
With that he took me back to the
hotel and, taking them out of the pail
said, NOW, amt that a pretty fair
catch?"
You may think So" said |, but
don't see any over nine or ten inches
long. l thought you said some OF
them would weigh three or -four
pounds"
mo such "A thing" said he. Il said
n good many of them'd weigh three OIL
four pounds. Don't you catch on-a
good many of them ?'-Judges Library

RHE UMATISM CANNOT Be
CURED
of M. r, Burt is the Home of
Uric-O in MiddIebury.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regard
ng the claims of almost any remedy adver-
tised as cure for Rheumatism and one can
scarcely blame him for being SO. All the
plasters and liniments combined never actu-
ally cured a case of Rheumatism. They may
relieve it one in quarter, but il is sure to break
out somewhere else. The only true way to
cure Rheumatism, is to drive it from the system,
for as long as the Uric and Rheumatic Acid
remains in the blood, one is never entirely
free from the trouble. This is where the
value of Uric.O as permanent cure for Rheu-
matism comes in. 1t seeks out the Rheuma.
tic poison in the blood, muscles and kidneys,
renders it inert and harmless and drives it
out of the system. That is why Uric-O is such
an admirable and effective cure for Rheuma-
tism.
The chief reason that Uric-O is such won
derful cure for Rheumatism is that it is de-
signed and prepared to cure Rheumatism
and Rheumatism only. 1t does not contain
any alcohol or other so called tones to make
one feel good" for the time being, but is
composed of antidotes for the rheumatic acid
poison in the system. That is the secret of
its wonderful success. Rheumatism simply
cannot exist in persons system if Uric-O is
used.
Uric-O is sold by NJ. r. Burt, "The home
of Uric-O" in Middlebury, at 75c and 500
the bottle, but if you still feel skeptical about
its efficacy you can test it free of charge by
cutting out this advertisement and sending
same together with your name and address
to the Smith Drug Co.. Syracuse, N. Y. and
they will send you sample bottle free. To
persons who write and say they have never
used Urico o, want to test it thoroughly, and
will agree to take it Systematically according
to directions, they frequently send regular
2sc bottle free.
