BE YOUR OWN JUDGE.
Here is a fair and square deal for those
suffering with stomach, liver, bowel, kidney
or bladder troubles. Mr. N. F. Shivar, own
of Shivar Spring, makes this liberal offer:
Deposit $2 with him and he will send you
10 gallons of Shivar Spring Water with the
distinct understanding that if it fails to
cure or benefit you, he will refund your money
on return of the empty bottles. R. H. Aus
tin, Springfield, S. C., writes: —“I drank
Shivar Spring Water only a short time and
can eat anything and have gained 20 pounds.
It has also cured me of bowel, kidney and
bladder trouble.” Won’t you try Shivar
Spring Water without risk? For descrip
tive literature and testimonials, address N.

is an old crank he —” But I wouldn’t
allow anybody to talk about pa. The
little man at my ear saw that he had
offended me. So he said:
“1 beg your pardon, sonny, but when
I hear such a foolish argument used
for me, I get impatient. Your father
possibly heard some old ignorant doc
tor forty years ago trying to justify
our use by some such argument. But
the same argument can be used for
carbolic acid. I fancy that the most
of the people would not use that stuff
very long as a But
there are some splendid disinfectants
on the nfarket if one really needs one
for the mouth and teeth. Good, pure
water and a tooth brush work like
a charm for this purpose.
Mr. C. I. Garette was getting in
earnest and honest all at the same
time. “You see, Sonny, Ido not often
get honest and open my heart to folks
in this manner, but somehow I like
you, and I want to open your eyes a
bit, so that you may take me wide
awake. But you are about the only
one I ever allowed to find out so many
things about me and my family.”
"Well, you are in the world, and
you must be here for some good
cahse,” said I, “for I always feel like
helping a fellow who is down and
feels blue over his shortcomings. I
suppose God put you here for folks
to chew and smoke and dip, else why
are you here?”
The little fellow broke into one of
his shrill laughs, as he shouted, “An
®ther one of your pa’s bright argu
ments, I suppose. My grandfather T. O.
Bacco told me that he gave that ar
gument to one of his foul-mouthed old
slaves ’befo de wah’ and that people
who actually think they have good
sense are still repeating that old chest
nut. But nobody makes such an ar
gument for our use now, except some
old ignoramus who reads the almanac
to find out the best time to plant
beans, or when the sign will be right
co pull fodder.
'‘No, son, there are but three crea
tures that will touch us. One of them
is an ugly old worm that eats us
and grows and grows until he is so
stuffed that he will burst if you touch
him. He seems to have been made
to eat us. Another animal is a goat.
He will take a little of us, but it
doesn’t take much of us to do him.
He had rather go down to the gar
bage pile and eat a few nice tin cans.
The goat is to nice an ,animal to eat
much of us, and we have never suc
ceeded in making much ©f a slave of
him.
“The only other animal that uses
us are such bipeds as your pa and Dea
con Brown, and the boys who smoke
me. But they can’t help it, as they
are our slaves, you Know, and a slave
has to do what his master tells him
to do. If I had told any one of a
dozen boys in this town to smoke me
today, instead of you, I would have

ago. But you seem to be a pecu
liar sort of boy. You want to think
for yourself/'"
‘Do you help boys to think more
clearly?” I asked.
“No.” Said the little man. “Let me
read to you from my little book
again.”
" ‘City Superintendent of Schools,
New York: "I have found that cigar
ette smoking is one of the worst hab
its that a growing boy can acquire.
It hinders his growth, it retards his
intellectual development, and worst
of all, it weakens his will and thus ren
ders him less capable of resisting
temptation to evil courses. Nearly all
incorrigibles are cigarette smokers.”
"Now, I wish you would listen to all
chat. The best people are knocking
us on every hand. But they have to,
1 guess.”
“Did you ever know George Mc-
Lane?” I asked.
“Know him? I guess I did. He was
one of the brightest boys I ever knew.
I think he was fixing to be a
preacher. The Church made up mon
ey to send him off to college. He be
came acquainted with my family, and
it was not long before he was one of
our most trusted slaves. He nearly
always had one of our family in his
mouth. He would slip away from
school on almost any pretext and suck
one or more of my little brothers.
He would even go to such an extreme
that he would tell his professor a
falsehood about where he had been
and what he had been doing. I re
member one day that he asked per
mission to go home to help his mother
care for a sick calf, and the teacher
gave him permission. George went
out hebind an old house and
smoked some of my brothers.
His mind became duller, and he
lost interest in his studies. He quit
school after awhile. Say, do you
know where he is now?”
“Yes,” ± said, r T saw him last sum
mer. I was on a visit to the country
ami I saw a fellow come down the
road driving an old, poor mule to a
one-horse wagon. He had on about
as ragged clothes as I ever saw, and
looked like he was half dead. I ask
ed him how he was getting along, and
he said that he never did have any
luck. Everything seemed to be
against him.”
•‘About as I expected,” laughed the
little man. “I know of a great many
bright boys who have turned out that
way. It is great fun for us to blight
a life in that manner. And we sel
dom fail, if we can get hold of them
right. But I must get down to busi
ness. Are you going to smoke me?
I am not doing anybody any harm here
talking to you. My mission is to curse
and not to talk. Please, Mister Billie,
take me up and smoke me. It will
make some of the boys think that you
look manly.”
“Is it really manly to smoke you?”
I asked.
“Why, of course not,” said the little
man, “but I tell boys that it is manly,
and some of them are fools enough to
believe it. I remember that a fellow
asked a noted doctor one day if it
damaged a fellow’s brain to smoke us,
and the doctor replied that he didn’t
know, he had'never heard of it being
tried on any body with brains enough
to test. But that was all a joke.
Smart boys smoke us, and some of
them think it looks manly. And I
thought that the little fellow stepped
right around near my mouth and was
about to step in and take control. I
was frighteiied at the thought.
