Suffered 20 Years. up ex- M RS. MARY LEWIS, wife of a promi nent farmer, and well known by all old residents near Belmont, N. Y a . writes: “For twenty-seven years I bad been a constant sufferer from nervous prostra tion, and paid large sums of money for doc tors and advertised remedies-without bene fit. Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, bad a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using Dr. Miles* Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe tite began to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now I am as nearly restored to health as one of my age may expect. God bless Dr.Miles’Nerrine.' Dr. Miles’ Remedies are sold by ail drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded. Book on dis eases of the heart and nerves free. Address, DR. MILE3 MEDICAL CO.. Elkhart. Ind. A Wiso Answer. It takes but an ordinary man to return an answer to an insult. The extraordinary man is he who, under such circumstances, holds himself so well under con trol that he controls his adver sary also. Persia once possessed such a man and was clear-sighted enough to make him a judge. He was the chief judge of Bagdad in the reign of the Califf Hadee, and his name was Aboo Yusuph. He was a very wise man, for he knew his own deficiencies, and was actually sometimes in doubt as to whether he possessed sufficient wisdom to give a just decision in cases pe culiarly shrouded in mystery. It is related of him that on one occasion, after a patient investi gation of facts, he decided that he had not sufficient knowledge to pronounce on ine case before him. There wa=> m-his presence a pert courtier, one of those men who take long to learn that wisdom and impudence are not closely re lated. “Pray do you expect that the cal iff is to pay you for your ig norance?” lie asked, hoping to place the judge at a disadvantage. “I do not,” was the mild reply. ‘The Calif pays me—and pays me well—for what I do know. Were he to attempt to pay me for what I do not know, the treasures of his empire would not suffice. Jeems. The strangest thing happened to iny little grandson Jeems; Fer when I mention war news that youngster fairly beams! ’N’ when the weekly paper comes from the village store, He runs ‘’n’ gets my specs ’n’ sits pectant on the floor. ’N’ then he drinks in ev’ry word that paper has to say; ’N’ after that he never seems to have much heart to play. We found him out behind the barn, come Tuesday is a week, A’wearing of his father’s cap—the one that has a peak— ’N’ talking loud to Trouser, which the same is iust a pup, A’ saying words like “Shoulder harms! Attention, company! Hup!” ’N’ when I ast him what it meant, he said, “well grandma dear. It ain’t no tellin’ when they’ll need an other volunteer. ’N* yistiday we lost hin^—couldn’t find him high nor low, Until I searched the garret, where my dearest relics go; ’N’ there was Jeems a’trying for to lift a rusty gun— The one his grandpa carried ’fore his work on earth was done. His grand pa’s army coat, too big for him a mile, He had put on to give himself a mili tary style. “IJ ain’t no tellin’ then says Jeems “jus’ when they’ll want me, so I thought I’d jus’ get used to guns but ain’t they heavy, though! ’N’ grandpa’s coat—It mus’ have been some time since it was wored! ’N’ look here in the shoulder, was that where a bullet tored?” I couldn’t, not for all the world, unto that boy reply, Fer, bein’ jus’ a woman, why I had to go ’n’ cry. Today Jeems came tome ’n’ sstys, “Now gran'ma, won’t you write ’N’ tell my papa in the war I’m ready, too, to fight!” I kissed him on his curly hair, ’u’ says, “Perhaps I will,” ’N’ he marched off with Touser to re sume his daily drill. In spite of all his youthfulness I wouldn’t try to quell That spirit—it would be no use, ’cause blood is sure to tell. —Hobart. Strong, steady nerves Are needed for success Everywhere.

Some one writing on the sub ject “A Woman’s Right to be Ug ly” fails to note that woman, as a rule is not clamoring for that par ticular right, observes the Chicago Record. “Wheeler’s Cavalry.” I A Primer for Cuban Coast Geog “Wheeler’s cavalry had a brush j raphy. with the enemy,” has an old famil- This for ready reference, iar sound to it, especially among | grated by the New T»»rk Sun, wil the older ones of our readers. useful for those of oi,r readers It transpires that the troops en- w, n> are now studying the geogra gaged in the fight at Sevilla, near phy of the Cuban coast; Santiago, on Friday, were a part Bahia, a bay. of Gen.

The name that General Blanco, or to name the actual authority, the queen regent, can fairly exact from Hobson, is the latter’s parole to sink no more Merrimace.—New York Sun.
