SCORLS OF NEWSPAPERS
PUBLISHING TESTIMONIALS

Scores Of newspapers. throughout
the country are publishing local testl-
monlals of many Of the very best and
most truthful citizens, giving names,
street and number OF those who have
tried the great medicine, Root Juice.
and were cured by its USE Many Of
the testimonials are similar to the
following, which was copied from the
Daily Review" Greeusburg, Ind. j.
w. Boyle, of l16 East Washington
street, said: my wife has been taxi
ing Root Juice and it has done won
ders for her. Before taking it she
had very bad stomach. The light
est food would sour on her stomach
and cause 1t to burn and pain her very
much. In fact, she said she felt like
1t was raw from top to bottom. Re-
Gently her trouble was aggravated by
an attack of la grippe. Her appetite
was very poor, but after taking the
Root Juice a few days she had a good
appetite and could digest everything
she ate without the least pain or in
convenience. She is no longer weak
and nervous, and seems like a new
woman. The remedy has proved a
wonderful blessing to her."
As so many people are talking
about Root Juice and telling about its
great soothing, healing and toninG
qualities to the stomach, bowels, liver

Il was day Of rejoicing In the town
and in the camp, Much feasting was
there, and in a great hail the knights
sat down to ravelry. The comrade
who had instructed me in the morning
sat beside me, and soon found that
he hated the counter, as he called
him yasca, knight of the Red Cloud.
Each knight had some such distinctive
title, my comrades being walen,
Knight Of the Black Stone.
"vasca rules the feast" he said. ale
would like to rule the land"
/ "You do not love him?' I asked.
81 know him for a valiant soldier"
was the careful answer.
"And are there many who love hlmY'
I'VE are equally divided, else Vasca
would not rule the feast as he does
tonight"
Tho count had risen not too steadily
to propose a new toast. when, without
any warning, the doors were thrown
open, and the princess entered. The
knights stood up in surprise. Never
before, so | learned, had she honored
such banquet.
She advanced to the head Of the
table, and,s calling for a cup Of wine
held it at arms length.
"Your princess gives you toast,
To the Knight Of the Silver Star"
Every cup was drained, and the prin,
cess left the hall. The count resumed
his seat black scowI upon his face,
and the feast was ended. Tho two
i parties were more distinct than ever
for, while some Of the knights left the
hall with me, others gathered round
Yasca. looking as angry as he did.
"rhe princess has made him your
enemy for all time,'' said walen.
1.-The silver star shall shine through
the red cloud" said.
"And there are swords in plenty to
help" said one. drawing his weapon a
little and sending it home again with
clash.
Swords in plenty" they said in
chorus.
Quarters overlooking the square
were assigned to me and my ESQUIRE,
O'Ryan. Ihad sought adventure, and
certainly had found it.
l paid assiduous attention to nv
military duties in the camp, looked
sharply after the men who were nv

hours took lessons from O'Ryan in the
manipulation of a sword. I knew

A TRUE SNAKE STORY.

Under ordinary conditions he did not mind. His slip

But one night the youngster went to party and
came in late, some time after midnight. There was
not the friendly eye Of light in the whole place. He
unlocked the outside door and toward his room went
cropping HIS way along the corridor, when suddenly he
stepped upon big, round wriggling coil which slid
under his feet until almost parayzed, he scram

expecting too much of Chubb, but it was demOnstra
ton or no SALE and Roper rode away. But not for
long He was a sight when he got back to the
stable Chubb having weakened in the knee and Bill
having gone over his head. Nothing but Macs size
saved him from an untimely fate, and Chubb went
back into his stall.
Forced at last to desperate measures Macfadyen
finally put Chubb into rattle, OF those running
up from cent to 81 a chance, however high 1t
has to go to enable the raf1er to break thu

scene and being judge Of horse flesh and liking the

now, he took ticket out Of the box and its number
was ninety-seven meaning that the holder had to
ante up ninetyseven cents or stay out of the game
But William the Great true sport and he
handed over the sum nominated in the bond Then
he waited In eager expectancy till the drawing, and
behold the magical ninety-seven won the horse and
William took him with him to his room or some
place.
How many times Chubb fell down with his new
owner or what other painful incidents In connection
with the bucked knee may have occurred Is not
matter Of public record, but Chubb could have been
bought cheap mighty soon after the rattle II anybody
around Princeton had wanted him. Bur nobody did.
Neither did his owner, but that different. He
might have prosecuted Macfadyen for obtaining
money under false pretences but niney-seven tents
for q horse would have been hard case to handle.
As Princeton offered no relief William shipped Chubb
to New York but not to enter him at the Horse Show
Just what for nobody knows, but 1t was reported
some time later that he had swapped the horse to a
Long Island farmer for yellow dog and had turned
the dog over the tender mercies Of the s. p c. A
