Unique Calamity.
“What with forest (lies and j
poor crops the settlers in our
northern counties used to have a
hard time of it,” said a Detroit
commission merchant who was in |
n reminiscent mood the other day,
according to the Chicago Journal.
“One day, years ago, when I was :
looking after some busincs on the
‘Thumb,’ us it is called, 1 found
that almost every farm I came to!
was under mortgage. At one
farm 1 found the owner looking I
particularly troubled, and I asked
him if his mortgage interest was;
due and he couldn't pay it.
“‘Worse than that, mister,’he I
replied, as he looked up wearily, j
“‘Sickness or death in the,
family V
“ ‘Worse that.'
“ ‘Then it must be a calamity,
indeed. You didn't lose family
and homo by a forest tire?’
“ ‘Nope, but you arc right
about it’s being a calamity. I’ve i
been trying to think of the word
for two hours past. Yes, sit, you
can put-it down as an awful ca
Inmitv.’
“ ‘Hut won't you explain?’ 1
persisted.
“‘1 will, sir. There was a
mortgage on my farm, and ! was
feelin' as big as any one of my
neighbors and fakin' tilings easy,
when my wife was left $000.
Stranger, dare I tell you what she
did with that money?’
“ 'She didn’t lose it ?’
“ ‘.No’, sir. She jest paid that
mortgage, houghl. two bosses and a
plow, and this mornin’ I was
bounced out of my own cabin be
cause 1 wouldn’t peel o(T mv coat
and go to work! Yes, sir, yon are
right. It’s a calamity a calamity
that’s land: d me on the outside,
and between my durned pride and
her blamed spunk somebody'll be
eatin’ grass afore Sain relay

Little Johnny’s Problem.
The bend of the family, with his
beloved sweetbrier and bis favor
ite mngiizene, had settled back in
the rocker for a quiet, comfortable
evening, says Lippincott’s.
On the other side of an (inter
vening table was the miniature
counterpart of himself, the wrink
ling of whoso 8-year-old forehead
indicated that lie was mentally
wrestling with some perplexing
problem. After awhile bo looked
toward his comfort toying parent
and with a hopeless inflection, ask
ed:
“Pa?”
“Yes, my son.”
“Can the Lord make every
thing?”
“There is nothing, my son that
He cannot do.”
“Papa, could lie make a clock
that would strike loss than one?”
“Now, Johnny, go right up
stairs to your imi, and don’t stop
down here to annoy me when I’m
reading.”
Johnny went and wondered still.
He Worked On.
We—George, this burning of
the candle at both ends means an
untimely graye. It is nearly 12
o'clock. Come to bed.
George—But I'm doing this
night work in order to find money
enough to buy you a birthday pres
ent.
Wife—Well, if you will persist
in working of course I can’t stop
it. Good night, dear.

It is proper to say that the

much less here thiyi in any other

The millionaires of the t inted

Boston has put the automobile
to a now use, notes the Louisville
Courier-Journal. It has secured
one of the machines, with an ex
perience driver, and assigned it to
a policeman, who makes a daily
round of fifty or sixty miles. He
has been far more successful in
arresting criminals than the foot
or mounted police, and the police
department is so well pleased with
the experiment that it proposes
to have an automobile squad of
six machines before the end of tho
present month.
A nest of young rabbits was
plowed up out in Kansas, and a
little girl took them home, but
after getting tired of her pets she
decided to feed them to the old
family eat that had a number of
kittens. Instead of the cat eat
ing them, as was expected, she is
raising them. The cat is said to
think as much of the rabbits as
she does of her kittens.

Philadelphia., is reported to curry

A‘Novel Hat.
Rev. John Mathews, who was a
pioneer Methodist preacher of Ala-1
hama. has been remembered for
liis strict views and many pecu
liarities, says Lippincott’s
His wife, who was more liberal
in hel* ideas, was fond of dress, and
once sold a bureau and with the
money bought a new hat.
The following Sunday Brother
Mathews, being disturbed at the
beginning of bis discourse by
several of the congregation turn
ing to see the late arrivals, said:
“Brethren and sisters, don’t
bother to look around any more.
I’ll tell you who comes in.”
This he did, calling each one by
name, much mortification of the
tardy members. His wife was
among the last, and when she
walked down the isle he said:
“Make way there for Sister
Mathews. She is coming with a
bureau on her head.”
Any euscriber who will watch
the advertisements of his home
paper and take advantage of the
inducements offered, will save
many times the subscription
price in the course of a year, cor
rectly asserts an exchange, and
adds that instead of the poor man
saying he cannot afford to take
liis home paper, he would come
nearer the truth by declaring he
cannot afford to do without it,
for this if nothing else.
At Arkansas City last week a
man undertook to beat his wife
with a chair and the lady blew a
hole through his heart.
Jaws
Tightly Locfted From
Nervous Sp&sms.
Physicians Could
Not Prevent Fits.
Dr. Miles’Nervine Cured
My Wife.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine tins i>een successfully
tried in thousands of cases of nervous elisor
dcrs.but neycrlhas it made a better record than
when used in the treatment of fits or spasms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner
vine was given. The statement is repeated
in the following:
“Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and I called in my
home phvsician and lie said she was para
lyzed. lie rubbed her with Salt water and
gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
lied for three months and the doctor could
not help tier. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. I ter hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked.
Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles’ Re
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that I got some
more. She has taken a number of bottler,
hut has never had a fit since taking the fir*t
dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr.
Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills am is never
without them. If there is any way of mak
ing this testimonial stronger do so because
of the good the Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv
ine did mv wife.”—Wit. Y. Allen, P. M„
