Hor Proposal Turned Down.

There is a small town up the
state that boasts a female preach
er, and the lady’s duties are
many, says the Philadelphia Tele
graph. One day she may visit the
sick, another attend a funeral and
the next baptize a baby. One af
ternoon she was preparing a ser
mon for the following Sunday,
when she heard a timid kuook at
the parsonage door. Answering
the summons, she found a bashful
German standing on the step and
twirling his straw hat in his
hands. \
“Good afternoon,”‘the preach
ers remarked, “What do you
wish?”
“Dey say der minister lifed in
dis house, hey?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Yeas? Yell, I vant to me kit
married.”
“All right; I can marry you,”
she said.
The lady’s hair is beginning to
silver, and the German glanced at
it. Then he jammed his hat on
his head and hurried down the
walk. “What’s the matter?” she
cried alter him.
“You gits no chance mit me,”
he called back. “I don’t vant
you ; I haf got me a girl already.”

Tightly Locked From
Nervous Spasms.
Physicians Could
Not Prevent Fits.
Dr. Miles'Nervine Cured
My Wife.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine has been successfully
tried in thousands of cases of nervous disor
ders, but neve’tfhas 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 physician and he said she was para
lyzed. He 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
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
, so we could not open them and she finally
i got so her jaws would become locked.
I 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 bottles
but has never had a fit since taking the first
dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr.
Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills and 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 my wife."—Wm. Y. Allen, P. M,,

Automobiles for Visitors.
An automobile service, carrying
visitors to the world’s fair grounds,
will add to the transportation facili
ties of the exposition at St. Louis
next year. At least 200 machines
will carry passengers along the fine
residence streets and parks of the
city and discharge them at points of
vantage within the grounds, A com
pany, called the World’s Fair Auto
mobile Oompany, has been organized
for this purpose, with Lilburn G.
McNair as president. The machines
to be used will carry from two to
forty paBBengers each, and steam,
gasoline and electrioity will be the
motive power. The large machines
will be in the style of tallyhos.
These vehicles will collect passen
gers at the hotels, union station and
other points in the down-town dis
trict, Coupon tickets will be sold
entitling the passenger to a ride
and admission to the world’s fair
grounds. Stations will be provided
at suitable points within the expo
sition grounds for discharging and
collecting passengers. Automobiles
will also be operated within the
grounds over certain routes at a
specified rate of speed. This service
will be of great advantage to visit
ors, taking them practically from
their hotels, saving them the trouble
of buying tickets in the crush at the
gates and the crowds at the turn
stiles, and landing them within
the grounds thoroughly rested and
ready for sight-seeing.

Uncle Josh’s Query.
‘T occasionally get hold of a queer
passenger,” said a conductor on one
of the suburban lines the other day,
according to the Detroit Free Press,
“but I had always managed to hold
my own until a week ago. Then a
regular Uncle Josh took my car for
the first trolley ride in his life. He
sat up in a corner and watohed
thiags for a few minutes and then
beckoned to me and said:
“ ‘Conductor, you look like a smart
young feller.’
“ ‘Yes, sir.’
“ ‘Then tell me what makes this
oar go.’
“ ‘Eleotrioity, sir.’
“That didn’t satisfy him for more
than three minutes. I saw a doubt
ful, puzzled look spread over his
face, and presently he beckoned to
me again and said:
“ ‘Conductor, I should say you
were about as smart as they make
'em.*
| ‘Yes, sir.’
“ ‘And I guess you know it all.’
“ ‘About all, sir.’
“ ‘I asked you what mad9 the car
go, and you said eleotrioity.’
f* ‘That’s correct.’
‘“All right. If electricity makes
the car go, what in tarnation makes
electricity go?’
“He had me there,” smiled the
conductor, and I went out of busi
ness in half a minute, and the grin
on the old man’s face was some
thing to be remembersd for many
days.”
A sensible young ladj of Kansas
made the following request of her
friend: “Do not lay me down by
the rippling brookside, lest the bab
bling water wake me from my
dreams; nor in the beautiful ceme
teries in the valleys, lest sightseers
cooing over epitaphs distraot me;
but let me sleep under the counter
of the merohant and business man
who never advertises. There is the
peace that passeth all understand
ing, and deep is the sleep in which
neither the buoyant footfall of youth
nor the weary shuffle of old age will
ever intrude.”—Exohange.
There is a Biblical injunction to
the efieot that the gospel “shall be
proclaimed from the housetops.”
Rev. Jacob Kurtz, of York, Pa.,
holds that in every word the Bible
means precisely what it says, noth
ing more and nothing less; therefore
each Sunday morning Mr. Kurtz
climbs out on the roof of his two
story cottage and preaches to the
people who gather in the street be
low, i
The Death Penalty.
A little thing sometimes results
in death. Thus a mere scratch,
insignificant cuts or puny boils
have paid the death penalty. It
is wise to have Bucklen’s Arnioa
Salve ever handy. It’s the best
salve on earth and will ’prevent
fatality when burns, sores, ulcers
and piles threaten. Only 25c at

A Genuine War Horse.
At this juncture the beautiful ani
mal to which I have referred, and
from which a Union officer had just
been shot, galloped into our lines. I
was quickly upon her back, and she
proved to be the most superb bat
tle-horse that it was my fortune to
mount during the war. For ordina
ry uses she was by no means re
markable—simply a good saddle an
imal, which Mrs. Gordon often rode
in camp, and which I called Marye,
from the name of the hill where she
was captured. Indeed, she was or
dinarily rather sluggish, and requir
ed free use of the spur, but when
the battle opened she was absolute
ly transformed. She seemed at onoe
to catch the ardor and enthusiasm
of the men around her. The bones
of her lege were converted into steel
springs and her sinews into India
rubber. With head up aud nostrils
distended, her whole frame seemed
to thrill with a delight akin to that
of fox hounds when the hunter’s
horn summons them to the chase.
With the ease of an antelope, she
would bound across ditches and over
fences which no amount of coaxing
or spurring could induce her to un
dertake when not under the excite
ment of battle. Her courage was
equal to her other high qualities.
She was afraid of nothing. Neither
the shouting of troops nor the rat
tle of rifleB, nor the roar of artillery,
nor their bursting shells, intimida
ted her in the slightest degree. In
addition to all this, she seemed to
have a charmed life, for she bore me
through the hottest fires and was
never wounded.—General John B.
Gordon in June Scribner’s.

Did Not See The Oircus.
The town of Linton, in the state
of Indiana, denied itself the pleas
ure of seeing a circus the other day.
Linton, like most mining towns, was
all agog when it learned that the
circus was coming, and young and
old got their half-dollar handy to
exchange for the pasteboard that
would gain for them entrance into
the big teat. Then the information
got out that there were a number of
negro employes with the circus.
Linton, Ind,, does not like the broth
er in black, and will not permit one
to enter the incorporate limits. A
delegation of Linton citizens met
the circus twenty miles from town
and asked the manager of it if it
was true that there were negroes
with the show. It was. The show
people were told that the blaoks
could not enter Linton; that the cir
cus would be welcome if it would
leave its negroes outside the town
and pick them up afterwards. The
show pzople explained that the col
ored help was necessary to making
the performance come off smoothly;
that the canvassmen, oooks, hostlens,
drivers, waiters, etc., were essential
to the running of the organization.
But Linton was firm, so the circus
had to Bkip the town. And yet the
north reads the South lectures on its
hostility to the colored man!—Sa

Not Over-Wise.
There is an old allegorical pic
ture of a girl soared at a grass
hopper, but in the act of' heedless
ly treading on a snake. This is
paralleled by the man who spends
a. large sum of money building a
oyolone cellar, but neglects to
provide his family with a bottle
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a safe
guard against bowel complaints,
whose victims outnumber those of
the cyclone a hundred to one.
This remedy, is everywhere recog
nized as the most prompt and re
liable medicine in use for these
diseases. For sale by all druggists.
