YOUNG GIRLS
WOULDN'T burn his boots
OPEN LETTER
To MOTHERS.
i Though He Didn’t Mind the Effect on
His Stomach.
After he had sold his load of wood
and had received $4.25 for it he strolled
over to the little combination billiard
parlor and barroom on the other side of
the square. His faded old eyes lighted-
up and his new cowhide boots, larded
generously' in grease, squeaked exult
antly as he thought of that drink he
had been planning to get ever since he
left the farm at daybreak.
“Jest one old snifter
Of that good old lifter,”
he cooed to himself, “and I’ll be primed
ter start fer home.
“About one finger of that old red eye

than half a million households—at an
expease to each of §1.75 a year. Each
issue of The Companion gives as much i

shown by the announcement for 1898,
which promises contributions next

Captain A. T. Mahan, MaryE. Wilkins,

205 Columbus Ave., Boston, Mass.
Will give three boxes of their Specific
Tablets, worth §2.50, to any one who
may have used as much as one box of
their tablets without decided benefit.
We have never heard of a single case
where the tablets have failed to give
satisfactory results, and if there is- a
person to be found who has used them
without benefit we want to know who
he is and where to find him. They
never fail to cure kidney and bladder
trim hies and affections of the genital
organs and overcome all debility and
weakness in both men and women.
They improve the appetite, aid diges
tion and assimilation and overcome
constipation. They have vital effect
on $ill of -the secretory organs and es
tablish a healthy condition of the mu
cous and gland secretions in every part
of the body; overcome all torpid condi
tions of the capillaries and secure per
fect circulation of the blood, so that
every organ is supplied and every func
tion is normal and healthy. Being the
only remedy ever compounded that
fully meets the logical physiological
conditions of the human system, it is
eo wonder that they give results un
known to medical science. No matter
if. the doctors and all remedies have
V v " .
failed, try the Tablets and be convinced
that they are superior to all known
remedies. Their effect on the nerve
centres is a complete surprise to phy
sicians who have used them. Cases
that have baffled the skill of best phy
sicians and no remedies seemed to ben
efit,’ have been promptly controlled and
permanently cured by the Tablets.
Cases where injections of morphine
have been resorted to as the only means
of temporary relief have been promptly
controlled by the Tablets and the trou
ble completely overcome by their use.

confided to the bartender, as he pulled
a feverish red mitten from his right
hand and jammed it down in his
“pants” pocket. “I ain’t a drinkin
man—never was—but when it’s so cold
outside yer breath freezes ter t’waggin
wheels ye’s got ter resort ter some pow
erful remedy ter thaw it out. ’ ’
The bartender agreed with him. F07
months he had watched the old farmers
come in, order just one finger of whis
ky and drink a whole handful of fin
gers for the manifestly unfair expendi
ture of 10 cents. He had decided to put
a stop to it, and the farmer with the
new cowhide boots was the first victim.
The remedy he placed before him was
powerful enough to thaw the Yukon.
The old man poured his glass full—just
as the bartender knew he would—and
gulped it down in one big swallow.
The effect was instantaneous. The vic
tim gave one convulsive shudder, look
ed reproachfully at the bartender and
whirled around four times. Then he
sat down and hastily began to pull off
his cowhide boots.
“Yvhat the mischief are you doing

tender. ,

BEARS THE FAC-SIMILE SIGNATURE OF^
GUNNERY PRACTICE
When a man does another an
injustice the amende honorable is
the proper thing. A North Caro
lina editor rose to the occasion
when he made the following correc
tion : “The statement that our
judge took too much ‘camphor’
while he was holding court is
with foundation. He has not
been ‘full’ in six months.”
An Occasion When Quickness of Actiafe
Prevented a Fearful Disaster.
An officer of the United States navy
relates the following as illustrating some
of the perilp of gunnery at sea:
“I came very near going up into the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
at sea and but for the quickness of a
gunner’s mate would never have re
turned. As you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The officer
in command of the forward turret on
our ship during rapid firing practice wa«
just about to press the button to fire one
of onr big gnns when a gunner’s mate
was seen to grab at something on the
wall of the turret and then fall in a
heap on the floor. Th<4 officer pressed
the button, but the gun was not die-
charged. When the mate came to, he
was asked what had happened, and ho
informed the officer that the breech of
the gun had not been locked and that
what he grabbed at on the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing circuit.
‘ 4 When he saw that the officer was pre
paring to fire the gun and at the same
time observed that the breech of the
gun was not locked, the only thing that-
occurred to him to prevent the gun be
ing discharged was to destroy the cir
cuit, which he (lid promptly and effect
ively. When all this occurred, there
was a charge of 250 pounds of powder
in the gun, another charge of the same
size in the turret ready to be served, and
the passageway leading to the powder
magazine was wide open. But for the
quickness of the gunner’s mate the gun
would have been blown out inside the
turret, the gases from the burning pow
der would probably have ignited the
charge lying in the turret, this explo
sion would have ignited the powder in
the magazine, and the chances are that
the whole ship, crew and all, would
have gone up in the air. A thought that
