It’s with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They’re the best Liver Pill ever made, and a prompt and effective remedy for Siok Headache, Bilions Headache, Con stipation, Indigestion, Bilious At tacks, and all derangements of the stomach, liver and bowels. They cleanse and renovate the system, quietly bat thoroughly. They reg- nlate the system, too—they don’t upset it, like the old-fashioned pills. Tnese are purely vegetable and per fectly harmless. One “Pellet” a -dose. They’re the easiest to take, .and the mildest in operation—the .smallest in size, but the most effl- -dent in their work. : They’re the cheapest pill you can buy, because they’re guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. Ton only pay for the good you iget Can you ask more ? * That’s the peculiar plan all Dr. Pierce’* medicines are sold on. , This is the wajf with the Ball corset: if you want ease and shapeliness, you buy it—but you don’t keep it unless you like it. After two or three weeks' wear, you can return it and have your money. Comfort isn't all of It though. Soft Eyelets, and “bones" that can’t break or kink—Ball’s corsets have both of these.

Whmr« Ifn Comes from nM Whence Ha In Goins—Wliut He Costa, Broken end Unbroken—A Hardy Little' Brute—Hln 'Work nod Years of Service, How often, one hears the remark, “Just look at those males drawing that car; they look like rate." They have thns become known very generally an little rat males, and the description is a good one certainly. Many ot them don't look much larger than a good sized billy goat, being so small that they are hidden from the people in the car by the dash board iu front, ft certainly does look crnel to make them pnll a cur loaded down with people, a load that wonld strain powerful horses on an up grade. It is like a great many other things, however. It is crnel only in appearance. The little mnle is equal to this and mnch more. If the car wonld hold more peo ple he and bis mate wonld pnll it any place, and on a level wonld take it skip ping along so fast that yon would almost Begin to think no other motive power was required to realize rapid transit. He has endurance, speed and strength, and thrives where an animal more hardy and stronger in appearance wonld soon die. In rapid motion he goes by jumps and jerks, bnt he accomplishes the desired result, and is one of the most servicea ble animals to be had in the street rail way business. He is, however, rapidly disappearing, giving way to mechanical motors. As the old darky said when he saw the elec tric cars, "The Yankees is great peo ple; they wa'nt satisfied ter free de nigga, and now they've done gone and freed de males.” That is about the case. In St. Louis, for instance, tho little rat mules—and, for that matter, the larger mnle and the horse—are few in number, not one in thirty for those employed as recently ns tl|ree years ago. With onr increase in population; new industries, etc., this is a somewhat remarkable statement, but it is correct. The little rat mnle is a peculiar ani mal. Dorn and raised in the southwest, Texas and Mexico, bo. is now going to the south and southeast for service on the plantations. In the very recent past, when all the street cars were drawn by horses and mules, the demand for them was very great for that purpose, bnt as things generally equalize themselves, so has the demand for horses and mules. The street railway companies which .have changed to cable or electric motor power have generally disposed of their live stock to very fair advantage, though tliera are still on hand some of the little rat mnles that are nnused. This little animal is one of some valne, though he does not look it. Twenty dol lars would lie a very fair valuation, bnt in fixing that estimate yon wonld be away off the mark. Unbroken he com mands considerable more than that. The cheapest lot tluit ever came to St. Louis, probably, was one of 200, the price paid for them being a few cents less than twenty-six dollars per head, bnt they were nnbroken. He is a stub born little brute, and there is considera ble labor in breaking him so he can l>e put ahead of a bobtail and trusted to the average driver. Thus broken be has a value of sixty to seventy-five dol lars. One would naturally suppose thnt his raiser would break him, and get bis en hanced price, bnt, os a rnle, he has come to the St. Louis railroads ns wild as could be, and also us stubborn, bnt the employees of the companies have had a great deal of fan lu breaking them in and reducing them to tractability. They have also had some exciting experiences, too, as the little fellow bss heels quite os serviceable as his larger relative, and he knows how to nse them too. Yon have got to look out for them, and you have got to pnt some muscle into use when you think you have an easy task to hold them Uritli the lines,. This is not stall easy sometimes, as he has strength and frequently a very hard month—bard enough to pnll a bobtail car by it with the traces slackened. It has been said that it seems cruel to run there little fellows to • street car loaded, down with passengers. To the contrary, there are few animals which have an easier life. The pulling of the car is nothing to them. They can langb at that and grow fat. Twenty-five to thirty miles a day for them is nothing at all. and that is about what they cov er, with rests between. trips. Through with their day’s work, they are turned into a big yard, where they nm and roll ns they please. .They never die, or at least the employees of the street rail ways never hear of their dying. When jthey approach that period of life they are aold or sent off to the form, where they may still be of some use. , They are aged before that time comes, however. There are, for instance, little rat mnles as much os 20 or 25 years old still in service here, and some which have been in the service twelve and fifteen years. And still they are, to all appearances, good for several years yet. They are as strong and active as ever, apparently, and wtU likely a year from bow start in fora second life on a south ern plantation. This is a long time for ‘ sir animal to tramp over granite and ' Other ldnds ot paving, through mud and In all kinds of weather, bnt the limit has seemingly never been reached with this hanly little fellow. He might be subjected to twice at mnch, poasibly, and still not fall under it. - In addition to performing service iii equal to. that of the horse or the large * mnle, the little rnt mula is one of the easiest animals known in the care re quired. It-might, in fact.be said that he really does not require any care. He flourish** beat when allowed to rough it. He is, of course, fed grain and bay, but be la not lit the least fastidious about his food, as is the horse, and in tbeahsenoe SKWSSttgSSHW ing utter than to run to fodder and cheap food.—8t.
