(BY C. C. WILSON,

NJ ! We VI w AAOOANs/
During my boyhood days was
being raised on a farm in Rankin
County, Mississippi. My ia
theirs cornfeld was infested
with woodpeckers, running the
corn. There seemed to be a doz-
en- woodpeckers to an ear of
corn; in fact, they would attack
the pillow mule and peck holes
through it's hide.
Father bought me a % caliber
rifle to clean them out with.
The first day I killed so many we
had to employ ten negroes with
plows to pillow them under. Fa-
Their said they would make fine
fertilizer, and was delighted.
The third day he seemed to be
angry, and requested me to dis
continue killing them saying the
buzzards were breaking down all
his cornstalks getting the wood
peckers. saw my mistake in
killing them outright, and then
begun to shoot their bills off
close to their heads so they could
not have any peckers to peck the
corn with. Since then if a wood
pecker ever flies across that farm
he flies between the sun and the
sky SO no one can see him. A
Northern man came out there
from Chicago and said he knew
some Southern man was shooting
bills off the birds, for he had seen
Woodpeckers in Chicago without
bills trying to knock holes in
trees.

weary slept toward the little home,
where a Sick husband was awaiting
her return. But her disappoint-
ment was of short duration, for
Cooper was just then coming up
the street. Noting the careworn
look and hating, step, he came
quickly forward and assisted her
carefully over the crossing. By a
few kindly, we'll directed questions,
he learned thatshe had been to call
upon Mr.. Cooper to secure medi-
cine for her sick husband, who had
been i'll for long time, unable to
provide even the barest necessities
for the little family.
| The poor woman was greatly
astoniShed when she found that she
was talking to Mr.. Cooper himself.
He assisted her back to the drug
store, supplied her not only with
Required medicines, but also with a
generous handful of silver, and
sent her home with a light heart
and smiles through tears. That
night a big basket of groceries was
leftsat the little home and it was not
hard to guess who was the donor.
Another feature of Cooper's visit
to this city and one that has at
tracted great deal of attention, is
the many. cures of rheumatism that
have been effected by the use of
his remedies. Among the number
who made statements on this sub
ject was Louise Herman, 945 North
avenue, who said:
81 have for years been sufferer
OF rheumatism and kidney COM
plant. At times | was unable to
walk and my back was very weak.
MY limbs were sore and swollen
and | was in a very nervous con-
dltlon. | could not sleep at night,
always felt tired in the morning
and would often have severe head
aches. My health had entirely
broken down and | began to feel as
if life was not worth living. had
tried different medicines, but all to
no avail. Nothing seemed to help
me and did not know what it was
to have a we'll or happy day.
| Zone evening ] was reading in
the papers what greatresults Coop
er's New Discovery and Quick Re-
lief were accomplishing in Chicago,
and made up my mind to give
them a trial, and if they were what
the papers said they were, why
then | would surely receive some
benefit.
$50 purchased some of the
medicine and after the first few
days ! noticed that my sleep was
more restful and that the pain in
my limbs was not so bad kept
on using. the medicine, and after
two weeks had nearly recovered
my health. | can never say
enough about these medicines, for
| never expected to see a we'll day

with my friends, and all due to the
wonderful New Discovery.
