After
La Grippe


Il had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. | was SO nervous that
| could not rest or sleep. When
l dozed off / would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. DR.. Miles Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits"
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
child story at his own expense. The
five children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay In the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased exclamation.
The good doctor felt duly fiattered,
but rashly pressed the children. in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truthr

rid medicine. So we were awfully

Abou Ben Fusher may his tribe increase,
Awoke one night from a sweet dream of
peace
And saw an angel standing there beside
Ills bed
"Who are you. stranger2' Abou Pusher
said

Or one who takes straw ballots II he

"a simple little record of good men =

And II you please, I'd like fact or two
To work uH in little sketch Of you"
Abou Ben Pusher did not weakly blush
And beg the mystic stranger, with the
book, to hush.
He rose from Off his couch and sat him
down
Appareled In pajamas and in DRESSING
gown.
And ratified on lengthy lot of things
So rapidly the stranger tapped his wings
And sais go slow, good friend, beg
of you

Abou Ben Pusher smole a knowing smiieI
And seized the pencil, then with crafty
guile.
He took the book and spread 1t on his

He wrote and wrote until the night was
gone

Awoke again-as well he knew he might

his bed.
'Your book 10 ready for you, friend.'' he
said,

LIGHTNING's QUEER STUNTS

Lightning has been known to play
queer freaks. but a streak of the Jer.
sey brand which struck the home Of
John Ackerman in Rochelle Park, NJ
j., few days ago seems to have
done more queer things in a moment
than had been done since Ajax defled
the fluid.
One side of the hall was ripped out
and from there the lightning flashed
into the parlor, where broken lamp
and scattered and broken bric-a-brac
told of its passage through that apart
ment
Then It tourneyed to the dining
room, where Mr.. Alderman was sit,
ting. The walls. blackened. scared
and bulged out on three sides, show
that the bolt struck the room in
three places, and Alderman Is still
marveling how 1t was that the light
ming flashed all around without ever
touching him.
In the kitchen was an old-fashioned
clock, quite heavy and fully two feet
in height. The lightning removed this
from the kitchen and deposited the
wreck In the dining room. The west
side of the kitchen wall was blown
out. The kitchen floor was blown up
ward. The kitchen table was spin.
tered into bits and the range was
shattered into many pieces.
A young woman next door was wri.

peared as the bolt shook the place
Yet, strange to say. although there
were four persons in the house at the
time not one OF the occupants suf-
fered any injury from the freakish
bolt, other than the shocked surprise
that would be expected on such an
exciting occasion.

SNAKE is BABY'S MASCOT

The following story, taken from a
Purulia Qndia) paper. has the flavor
of the Arabian Nights:
"a child was born to a Brahman in
the village of Shapur six months ago.
and since the very date of birth a
serpent has been a constant attendant
on the babe. One day the reptile was
caught and thrown in the river At
night the Brahman heard the serpent
say to him in a dream. If you kill
me shall completely destroy your
family If you do not. shall not
harm you. but. on the contrary, do
you good Since this oracle from the
serpent the Brahman and the mem
bers of his family have left 1t alone.
When the child is on the ground
asleep or awake the serpent spreads
its hood over its head like an UNI
brella. When the child is on the bed
the reptile quietly lays itself down
under the cot Once the child )
mother took the child to the house of
a relation near. The father was fol-
lowing her with an umbrella under
his arm. On opening the umbrella he
saw that the serpent was inside it.
He threw 1t away, but 1t forthwith
returned to his house.
The serpent is still there. The
Brahman gives the reptile milk twice
a day, which he drinks"

Away up In Klamah county, Ore
gon, are located vast forest belts and
the lumber industry is maintained on
very extensive scale. Many of these
heavy timber belts are remote from
either railway lines, or even logging"
roads. Huge logging carts are ex-
tensively used in these regions in
hauling The big heavy saw cuts from
the forest depths to the various mills,
where they are reduced to lumber.
They are all two-wheeled, and con
structed SO as to sustain a very heavy
weight. The wheels are about 10
feet In diameter, length of axletree
7 feet. The hub, spokes. axletree and
felloes are all built of very tough,
solid wood-usually of oak or hickory;
however. the tire is of thick broad
steel.
The log. or logs, are suspended to
he axletree by a heavy chain, and
nearly balanced-the hind ends barely
dragging, SO as to greatly reduce the
force in hauling. Horses and oxen
are both used In this logging business.
and as many animals as may be re-
quired may be attached to one cart.
The wheels are so large that they
move with comparative ease over
large distractions, and along very
rough, mountainous roads. It would
be next to impossible to carry on the
lumber industry In those wild regions
without the use of these huge logging
carts, as they are called. These carts
are the largest vehicles of the kind
on the Pacific coaster perhaDs in
the United states. The cart alone
weighs nearly ton.
