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 will do tk Their Conduct and Health Often Mystifies Their Mothers. • Young girls often feel, and conse quently act, very strangely.

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.

' ft bimess, I calculate,’’ he 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 that for?’ ’ inquired the astonished bar tender. , “Can’t ye see them’s brand new boots?” gasped the victim. “D’ye think I’m goin ter let them burn up tew?”— New York Press. seem self-absorbed, and heedless of things going on around them.

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.
