person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis

the heart. The result is
shortness Of breath, pal

Thomas Nelson Page recounts an In
stance showing that this hospitality
was not always appreciated. A guest
asked the loan of horse to carry him
to his next stopping place. town
which lay at Il considerable distance.
The host accordingly lent him his
horse and sent along u negro boy-it
was before the war-to bring the horse
back.
After several days the boy was still
missing. and some one was sent to
hunt him up. The messenger found
him at last and den anded why he had
not returned with. the horse.
"'Cause dat gent'mnn done sell de

''Wcll. why didn't you come back
and say so?'''

To weak and ailing women. there Is ut least one
way to help. But with that way. two treatments
must be combined. One Is local. one Is constitr+
tional but both are important. both essential.
DR.. Shops Night Cure Is the Local.
DIR. Shops Restorative the Constitutional
The former-Dr Shops Night Cure-is topical
mucous membrane suppository remedy, while DR..
Shops Restorative is wholly an internal treat
ment. The Restorative reaches throughout the
entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve
all tissue. and all blood ailments.
The Night Cure. as its name implies. does its
work while you sleep. 1t soothes sore and infarn-
ed mucous surfaces. heals local weaknesses and
discharges. while the Restorative. eases nervous
excitement gives renewed vigor and ambition,
builds up wasted tissues. bringing about renewed
strength. vigor. and energy. Take DR.. Shops

Flushing. N. T.. May 11.-After
four hours deliberation the jury In
the case Of Capt. Peter c. Hains, u.
s. A.. charged with the murder OF
VIM. K. Annis,. on August Is. last
brought in a verdict of guilty Of man
slaughter in the first degree this af-
ternoon. The maximum penalty is
20 years imprisonment.
Quickly following the young
army officers conviction his counsel
announced that they would produce
affidavits to show that the jury had
not been properly guarded during the
trial and upon this allegation will
urge that a new trial be granted. These
affidavits will be submitted on Mon
day. the time set for passing sentence
and any motion the defense desires to
make. They will of course make a
motion to set aside the verdict as
against the weight Of evidence, but
the unguarded jury is the only de-
parture from the stereotyped proceed
ure looking to new trial.
