There is a certain bracing effect ;JLn cold air which is lost when the weather grows warmer ; and when Nature; is renewing her youth, her admirers feel dull, sluggish and tired. This condition is owing mainly to the impure condition ot the blood and its failure to supply healthy tissue to the various organs of the body. It is remarkable how suscepti ble the system is to the helD to be derived from a good medicine at this season. Possessing just those puri fying', building-up qualities which the body craves, Hood's Sarsaparilla soon overcomes that tired feeling restores the appetite, purifies the blood, and in short, imparts vigorous health.

BILL ARFS LETTER.' It is good for a town man or a city man to take a day off occasionally and spend it in the country. It will give him a fresh start, a new lease upon life when he gets back to work. Sometimes it pays doctors bills; sometimes it awakens sentiments and emotions long since smothered or forgotten and makes him feel like singing' "Oh, would I were a boy again. . Now is the time ot all times to try 1 "i T 1 . . it, ana 11 1 were a aoctor ana naa a puny, overworked patient I would give him a harmless pill and say, quit your business for a day and go fish ing or go to the woods and stroll around and pick flowers and listen to the birds, and if you get a few ticks on you all the. better. Scratch ing is a healthy business. It is the poor man's medicine. I was rumi nating about this because 1 tried it day before yesterday. Some of my folks of the masculine gender invited me to take a stroll with them. They said it would help me, and my wife advised me to go. I think she was tired seeing me mope around looking like I was half dead arid didn't have a xnena in ine wona, ana so 1 joined tne peaesmans not Knowing now tar mey were going. We vi ma., uiu a uai ucu wire icnce arouna it. iney naa to eo through that wood they said, and so they sprung the bottom ' wire as high as they could and kindly invited me to tumble myself that I might be exalt ed on the other side. Right there my trouble began. I got down like an elephant and rolled under the wire barely escaping the stickers, and then we perambula ted through half a mile of under growth that kept me slipping on the j pinestraw and dodging the bushes, i -it . 1 - . ana an ine ume trying to Keep up with their younger and longer legs but made no sign. One of them let a stickery limb flop Pack in my eye and set it to bleeding, but still I made no sign," for I have some of my youth ful game in me. Bye - and bye we came to the barbed wire fence on the other side of the wood lot, and I had to lie down and roll over again like hundred dollar horse, and that brought us into a fresh plowed field, where the corn had just been plant ed, and by the time I followed them through that I was covered all over with a sweat of perspiratioM and was so tired I was afraid to stop for fear I would not be able to start again. After a while we came to a branch that flowed down about six feet wide, and four feet deep. My unfeeling companions took a little running start and cleared the ditch easily and just tramped on without looking back to see what had become ot me, but still I was game. I made for that ditch with malice aforethought and caught on the bank and pulled my wet legs after me with alacrity and waddled on. 1 saw one ot my chap erons look back on the sly and then I began to suspect that they had laid a plan to put me through for the ben efit of my constitution. In course of time I had to roll under two more wire fences and cross Dr. Fulton's branch, which is just three miles from town by the big road, but a greatMeal further the way they took me. But still I was game and made no sign. I even made bold to talk admiringly of the scenery, and I stopped occasionally to pluck the wild flowers that adorned the glades and hillsides. I carry around now with me about 175 pounds ofcorpor- osity, and my center 01 gravity is some higher up than it used to be when Mrs. Arp was sweet sixteen, and I could mount a horse bareback at a single bound. Oh, I've seen the day-yes, I have seen the day that- Well, its no use bragging for 1 will never see it again. Dr. Caulder said in his beautiful sermon last Sunday that youth had no memories but revelled, in a thousand hopes. And aee had a thousand ' memories and but a single hope. -That is so, and I am living in memories now. These young bucks kept tolling me along like I was a cow following a loader wagon, ana dv ana Dy 1 ill heard one of them give a wild Injun whoop and he started off in a run crvin?. "snake snake : 1 naa a good cane and paused for an attack J cy ' - from the reptile but it was nothing but the rim of an old straw hat that curled in the path. I am not fond of snakes, and that alarm kept me on the lookout, for it is about the time for them to be slipping around. By and by we took roundance and start ed homeward down the creek, and got to another wire fence. I felt like sitting down and staying all night, but the boys looked at me and smil ed and so I rolled undera'gain and I was so stiff and tired I could hardly get down or up. Still I played game ana kept mv wild flowers and sweet shrubs for the little girl at home, j and it .kept' my spirits up thinking how happy she would be. We got to a spring that looked inviting and the boys laid down and drank in the good old way. I was nearly dead; for water, but I said no I did not want any, for I feared I could never get up if I got down any more. When we reached the last ience the ground was a little descending' and as I rolled under the wire my corporosity kept on, and liked to hive rolled into a half-buned dead horse that the train had run over and tumbled down the bank. It shocked me like a ghost and stimu lated my alacrity. Somehow or other I got home safely after a seven mile tramp and and that night I rolled into bed and wasen't fit for anything next day, for I was as sore as a foundered mule: My opinion is that the whole thing was a conspiracy and that my wife was "particeps criminis" with one of her offsprings and his long-legged brother in-law. My further opinion is that there are more barbed wire fences in that region than in all the rest of that country and what bam tones and Bob Patillo put them there for no body knows, for there isn't an acre of the land that is worth a continental dime. It is too poor to keep its liz zards fat. , .Nevertheless the tramp did me good and loosened up my diaphram It was an overdose of medicine and my chaperons won't catch me that way again. I don't believe much in chaperons, nohow. Sam Jones said in a tabernacle sermon that they were no good. "You will see," said he, "a couple of these married wo men start out on an excursion up the river bank with 'fifteen or twenty young bucks and buckesses and they are to chaperon the whole crowd and see that they behave the mselves Sometimes they get back before dark sometimes they don't But it's ail eht if they are chaperoned.

Well, it's strawberries and cream now, and green peas and asparagus and other vegetables coming along, and if a man has a good garden and a good little cow that : gives : butter and buttermilk, and a good little bus iness that keeps him employed and a good little- family to help him and comfort him, he ought to be content ed and happy.

Not long ago I heard Mrs. Arp asking who that very handsome gentleman was that she saw on the oa the street. Well. I knew that it wasentme, and I thought that she had a very inquiring mind. That is natural too, and the only dirfrrence is that I have to exercise my admira tion more on the sly than she does. 1 like to have things calm and se rene at my house. , ? These domestic pleasures beat con gress or a post office, or even a re ceivership of a railroad.

That is bad and sad, but it is a part of the battle of life and we must fight it. Bill ArP; M. D. Lane, Devereaux, Ga., writes : One summer several years ago while railroading in Mississippi, I became badly effected with malarial blood poison that impaired my health for more than two years.

A young woman who has a weakness for novelties' has indented a new way of marking her belongings, shdelible ink she scorned as belonging to the tlistant past, and embroidored monograms and initials she voted commonplace.
