Modern Sampson Unhurt
By Toppling Building
Sampson was pretty good at
handling buildings but he could
boast of no superiority over
John I’ettihotie, a New York
city laborer.
After a two-story frame build
ing had toppled over on Pettl-
bone, and the employees, whose
lives he had saved by his shout
$ of warning, together with a de-
C tall of police and two fire com-
g panies hail dug him out, Petti-
S hone walked disdainfully home,
v leaving the ambulance and pul-
^ iimtor crews rubbing their eyes.
WON BY APPEAL TO VANITY
How Wily Diplomat Saved Lord Bea-

Curiosity, sa.vs a London correspond

Hie opportunity of aei|iiiring facility In

P.eaconsfleld. When he went to the
Berlin congress in m:s he made

in french. Monty Cory, having suf

for assistance. Gilo Russell lived up
to tlie occasion. In casual conversa

tioned that he had heard a rumor that
lie intended to address the plenipo
tentiaries on tlie following day in
french. “That would,” the wily min
ister said, “be ii grave disappoint

in yon the greatest living master of

Scraping the Ballot.
The woman who had charge of the
voting machine placed In one of the
downtown stores for use in the In
struction of women first voters, met
a number of unusual and amusing
situations. A few days ago, a well-
dressed woman who Imd all the ap
peal anees of being well informed on
matters political, entered the section
where Instructions were being given,
and nfim making the usual prelim
innry aitdogies, asked the young worn
an In charge to demonstrate the oper
ation of the machine. She was shown
what she should do in ease she wished
to vote a straight ticket, but this
tailed to satisfy her craving for In
structions. and the climax was
reached when she innocently request

RIVERS TURNED INTO SEWERS
COULDN'T LEAVE EMILY OUT
Peculiar Reason Why Elderly Spinster
Just Had to Attend the
Funeral.
M ord has come to the mid-Victorian
lady that an old friend of her moth
er’s had died suddenly in her home in
Maine. It was her duty to break the
sad news to two elderly spinsters,
cousins of the dear departed “auntie.”
bhe found Miss Susan at home, tend
ing to her pet canary. Miss Susan is
VS, hut spry und alert, ready for any
emergency. Miss Emily, live years
older, was out motoring with a kindly
benefactress. The slow tears of old
age trickled down Miss Susan's cheeks
at the word that another of her gener
ation had passed away. And then,
with a quick transition, she began ex
cited plans for attending the funeral,
which involved n trip by boat to Port
land and a long and arduous ride in
n day conch. But the thought of all
this, coupled with midsummer heat,
did not daunt the little lady. She
would go.
But. at least. Miss Susan,” urged
the messenger, “you’ll not take Miss
Emily with you.”

I EVER BILIOUS?
Charleston, Miss—Mrs. R. V. Heins, of this place,
says: I have never had to use very much medicine,
because if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, 1 would
take a dose or more of Black-Draught, and it would
straighten me out and make me feel as good as new.
We have used in our family for years
THEDFORD’S
Black-Draught
and it certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw.
It has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my
system in shape, and has never weakened me as so
many physics do. I recommend it to my friends and am
glad to do so.’* Black-Draught is the old, reliable liver
medicine which you have doubtless heard much about.
When you feel badly all over, stomach not right, bad
taste in ytpur mouth, bilious, or have a headache, Try
Thedford’s Black-Draught. At all Druggists.
Always Insist on the Genuine!
