Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,

In Washington's chair; you have all

that chair is a higher aud heftier
thing than any old throne that
monarch sat on; you look DER the
head Of the average king, aud how do
you like IL as far as you've gone?
You're now getting wise to the mil
lions OF bores who want an appoint
ment to this or to that; they tap at
your windows and knock at your doors,
and Ill you with longing to hammer
them fiat: they frequent the porch
and they hide ia the hall, and wearily
wait by the day on the lawn; they'll
never depart till you've talked with
them all, and how do you like it rs far
as you've gone? Perhaps you have
found that the glory is slim, when
weighed with the troubles that bur-
den your mind; you can't have
friend but he's pulling your limb, you
can't have foe but he stabs you be-
hind; you can't have an hour that is
truly your own, you can not escape
from old Grief and her spawn; you
can't sing song but IL turns to
moan, aud how do you like IL as far as

Closing Number

The managers Of the lgl2.l9l3 lyce-

the fifth number Of the course, which
will be concert Tuesday, June 3, by
Prof L. w. Feustermacher of the
Cincinnatti conservatory of music
and plumber Of musicians OF Fowler.
where the professor is now located.
Miss Martha Whittle will assist in
ohe program with her popular read
ings. The entertainments at Fowler
have ELECTED much, favorable COM
ment and we believe the patrons of
the course here will enjoy this num-
ber, which is given to make up for
one missed In che early part Of the
season when the town was under
euagantine. While the management
was not responsible for this omission,
they feel that the. patrons -of the
course will be expecting the afth
number as promised, and though they
will not be in charge Of the course for
the coming season and were not in
active management last year through
any desire OF their own, they want
every body satisfied. Without incurr-
ing any further Indebtedness this
committee OF four will be behind
something like $50. but feel that 1t Is
worth that amount TO have been able
to insure the continuance Of good
entertainments In Ordway.
Tickets for this last number will be
ON sale at Edgar Bros. drug store soon
and those who are not In possession Of
season ticket are invited to purchase
single admission tickets there.
