Radam’s Microbe Killer Cos., Nashville, Tenn.: Gentlemen— My wife has been suffering for several years with an ovarian tumor; has been treated by our best physicians and has been tapped twice. In july last the doctors said they would have to use heroic measures and perform an operation which was very dan gerous. Having heard of the Mi crobe Killer we would not consent to the operation until we had given it a trial. I procured a jug at once and after two days my wife began to improve and she has improved very rapidly ever since. She has been reduced in size nearly three inches, seems strong and well, and is able to do her own work, it is something she has not done for five years. We consider it a most wonderful medicine and believe it will do all you claim for it. Respectfully, H. P. Polk. IT SAVED MY LIFE.

Several wetflts ago a cow owned by a well known gentleman employed in the lower shops of Altoona, Pa., met with a mishap. The animal was turned out of the stable for exercise, but in a short time she was attacked by several dogs. They succeeded in getting hold of her tail, and almost tore-it out of the socket, only a short stub remaining. The ani mal was seriously disfigured, and the owner conceived a novel idea of fixing her up. He visited a slaughter house near by and secnxed anew tail and started for his home, happy ov-r his scheme to save his pet an ; ,al from un favorable comment. He secured the necessary tools and set to work. The stub and new piece were carefully worked out into a good job of dovetailing. He placed the ends to gether and they fitted like a charm. The joint was wrapped and tied with a heavy string. All worked well for a few days, but the other morning he took the animal out for a stroll, met a crowd of friends and stopped to explain his patent. His achievement was simply wonderful wo his hearers. But a moment later his labor and idea were a thing of the past. A large horsefly made its appearance and perched upon the animal’s back. The stub commenced to work and the new end was thrown in the direction of the pest. Then it became detached and landed around the neck of the inventor. He pleaded with his friends to keep the matter quiet, but it b aked out, and now he is the subject of considerable fun at the hands of his fellow Workmen. —Ex-, chango. A Dry Season in Kansas. Ex-State Senator Jool Moody, of Linn county, located in Kansas In 1557, and has rtutely been out of the state since. Speaking of drought, he says that in 1800 Kansas had a drought by the side of which this year was good. It quit rain ing in September, 1859, and did not commence again until the following September. The winds were so hot as to cook eggs before the hens could lay them, and not a thing was raised in Kansas. The next season was exactly the ltverse, and produced abundantly everything that was put into the ground. He thinks the season of 1800 corresponds to that of 1860, and that 1891 will sur pass in plenty any year that preceded it. Mr. Moody advises farmers to dam ev ery draw that can be used for reservoir purposes, and save the water from run ning away in the streams. —St. Joseph News. Opuleut Beggary.
