Presldent Buchanan.

In the March McClure's appears a
striking description of President Bu-
chanan by Carl Schurz.
He was portly old gentleman, with
white head, always slightly inclined
to one side, and a cunning twinkle in
his eye, which seemed to say that all
though he might occasionally not ap-
pear to be Of your opinion, yet there
was a secret understanding between
him and you, and that you might trust
him for 1t. He always wore a white
neckerchief like a divine. His moral
weakness was Of the wise looking kind.
He could pronounce the commonplace
sophistries Of the pro-slayery democ-
racy with all the impressiveness OF
unctuos ponderosity. He had rend-
cred the slave power abJect service in
the Kansas affair, again and again put
ting forth statements OF facts which he
could not possibly believe to be true,
and constitutional doctrines that could
be supported only by the most au-
dacious shifts OF logic. He was mind
full Of the fact that he owed the presi-
dency to the trust OF the slave power
In his fidelity to its behests. So far he
had justified that trust to the full of
his ability and of his opportunities.
No southern pro- slavery fanatic could
have served the slave holding interest
with more zeal and--considering his
position as a northern man-with more
self denial. BY forfeiting the good
opinion OF his neighbors, he had really
made himself martyr to the cause of
slavery. But when his southern mast
ers now went so far as to strike out
for the dissolution OF the union, the
destruction of the republic itself, his
situation became TRULY desperate. Thus
he satisfied EeiGAer side, but won the
contempt Of BOTH"

Try DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
; FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Convincing Evidence Supported by a
Guarantee That Must Convince
The Most Skeptlcai.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are q doctors
prescription, used by an eminent prac-
titioner, and for nearly q generation
known as q reliable household remedy
throughout the United States. Need
less to say, no advertised medicine could
retain popular favor for so long period
without having great merit and it is the
invaluable curative properties Of the pills
that have made them standard remedy
in every civilized country in the world.
Added to this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful drug,
opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent
evidence of their efficacy is found in the
statement Of Mrs. N. B. Whitley, Of
Boxley, Ark, who says:
II had suffered for a good many years
from stomach trouble. For long time
was subject to bad spells Of faintness
and lack OF breath accompanied by an
understandable feeling that seemed 20
start in my stomach. Whenever was
little rundown or oyer-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long. ;.

weeks one time and the doctor pro-

tiou Of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to fiut-
tering of the heart and feeling as
though was smothering. My general
health was very bad and was weak and
trembling.
"I had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When I began taking
the pills was so rundown in strength
that could hardly do any housework.
Now could walk ten miles If necessary.
Both my husband and myself think DR..
Williams Pink Pills the best medicine
made and we always recommend the
pills to our friends"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills actually make
new blood and give strength and tone to
