WhistIerian Malice.

i'Whistler always brought a spirit of fun with him." says the late Lord Redesdale in his memories; and the incident that follows appears to con firm his lordship's words:
 There came a day when, to my great regret, Whistler made up his mind to leave the old house in which he had lived for II years and to build the White House" in Tite street, mainly prompted. so he told me, by the wish to show what he could achieve in dec oration. E. ". Goodwin was the arch itect, and it was not long before they .quarreled over the work, in commemo- ration of which Whistler caused a stone to be inserted in the front of the house, engraved with the words:
 Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it. D. w Goodwin, F. $. A., built this house."
 The stone has long since disap- peared. Goodwin died in 1886, and in 1888 Whistler married his widow a quaint ending to an artistic feud.

 The wife, who found her fears had been realized, placed two chairs fac ing each other, sat down in one and applied the stare test, looking upon the inebriated one with cold, fixed glare

FORMER MAYOR FRANK V. EVANS, OF BIRMINGHAM, ALA, MAKES
 STRONG STATEMENT.

NNE of the latest additions to the O large and rapidly growing list of prominent men who have publicly in- dorsed Tanlac for the good it has done them, is the name of Hon. Frank Y. Evans, former .Mayor of Birmingham. MT. Evans is one of the best known men in public life in Alabama today, being at one time editor of one of the South's greatest newspapers. the Bir- mingham Age-Herald. He was also ex- aminer of public accounts of Alabama. In telling of the benefits he had de- rived from Tanlac, MT. Evans said:
 ''For years I suffered with gastritis and indigestion in the worst form. I was habitually constipated and had pains in my shoulders and headache continually. My appetite left me al- most entirely and everything l would eat hurt me. Finally 1 got to having awful attacks of acute indigestion, pal pitation of the heart and smothering spells. For a long time I would have one or more of these spells every night and I would wake out of my restless sleep gasping for breath.
 T bought a bottle of Tanlae and to my surprise and qualification I began to feel relief after the first few doses. I kept taking the medicine and now my recovery is simply the talk of Birming- ham,"

They Come Forward and Unhesitat- lngly Tell Suffering Humanity What Celebrated Medicine Has
 Done for Them.

TT Is seldom, indeed, that men of prom \ thence. especially men holding high public office, willingly express their in- debtedness publicly to a proprietary medicine. Many prominent men, how ever, including supreme court judges, mayors of our leading cities, prominent state and county officials, bankers, law yers, doctors, editors, leading educa- tors, government officials and even min- tsters of the Gospel have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell the people what Tanlac has done for them.
 These well-known men of affairs have recognized in this medicine new discovery and a scientific triumph in the medical world It is a well-known fact that these splendid inducements have been given Tanlac time and time again and they will continue to be given just as often as new tests of its powers are made; and it also explains why numbers of the big drug firms of the country are ordering 1t exclusively in carload lots.
