If You
Are Sick

It is because some of
the organs of the body
are not doing their work
well. There is a lack Of
that nervous energy that
gives them motion. Con-
sequently you are weak,
worn-out, nervous, irrit-
able, cannot sleep; have
headache, indigestion, etc.
because there is not suffi-
Gent nerve force to keep
the organs active and al
low them to perform their
natural functions. DIR.
Miles Nervine restores
health because it restores
this nervous energy.
II have been sick for a year, and
did not know what was the matter
with me. 1 tried many remedies and
none Of them proved Of any value. I
heard of DR.. Miles Nervine / pro-
cured a bottle. and before I had taken
half Of it I was better. I would have
had nervous prostration if I had not
got this medicine when did. I con-

Carlyle Corrected,

At Royal academy dinner in Lon
don on one occasion several artist.
were expressing their enthusiasm
about Titan. Carlyle and Thackeray
were among the guests.
"His glorious coloring is a fact about
Titian," said one man, striking the ia.
BILE to give emphasis to the remark.
"And his glorious drawing is anothe,
fact about Ttian" cried another artist
And so they went on until Carlyle
who had been listening in silence tt
their rhapsodies, interrupted them BY
saying, with a slow deliberate which
had its own impressive emphasis:
"And here l sit, man made in til.
image Of God, who knows nothing
about Titan and cares nothing abou
Titan, and that's another fact abou
Titan
Thackeray was slipping claret at th,
moment. He paused and bowed cour
teously to Carlyle. Pardon me-" b,
said; that appears to me to be not ,
fact about Titan, but a fact, and .
lamentable one, about Carlyle"

this would be acceptable to the mem
bers from the black counties. but they

Delegate Staunton, of Kanawha

the house He got OF the star joke of
the session during the discussion on
the bill preventing the drinking Of
liquor on railroad cars. Several amend
ments had been proposed and things
had reached such a chaotic stage that
the real intent of the original bill had
been lost in a mass of amendments.
The house grew quite still as Mr..
Staunton arose to his feet and in stem.
torian tones addressed the chair:
Mr. Speaker, have an amendment
to the bill which l think will meet
with the hearty approval of all the
members of the house. and a page
hurried to the clerks desk with the
amendment. 1t read as follows:
"All persons will be prohibited from
drinking Intoxicating liquor on rail
road coaches except gentlemen who
hail from Virginia and Kentucky and
have the title of colonel"
Then everybody, even the colored
doorkeepers in the gallery laughed,
and the speaker almost broke his CAV
lei calling the house to order.
The talk of introducing bill 70
pove the capital to some other sec
ton of the state has died down since
tie rain has discontinued falling and
the sun has again sifted through what
looked like everlasting gloom. During
