Tiie .Miller story cinnot be told
by imybody but by himself, but
it is soinetbiog like this:
There was a 'hanted' hous in
which no one would dare to spend
the night, so perniciously active
where the mythical inhabitant a
of the premises; but u colored
man, who was bom w ith un im
munity with ifU'-h superstitions,
readily consented to do aud dare
lor the small sum of five dollars
that, was to be paid after the
event. When hp went to the place
about, the goinjr down of the sun
he f'juud a room in which there
was i nly a table with a coal-oil
lamp buri'ibisr p.y;re,'ably upon it
urn! a rocking chair in which l.e
seated himself, and, ottracu'd by
the comfort of his surrouiidius,
he solih-qiiized: "Well, this sure
is the easiest money I ever made.
Turning suddenly he suv a great
black cat with its tail wrapp 'd
around the lamp chimney nnd
winked and showed his teeth at
the unlucky colored prsoa, who
immediately sought safety in
flight. Making his exit from the
house and slamming the door be
hind ban he hastened up the
road running for his life until,
completely exhausted by his ef
forts, he lay distracted in 't h e
ditch at the side of the road.
While in a stutu of utter collapse
he heard some one coming and
lo! it was a man and a man who
carried under his arm the head
ol a n o t h e r p.ron aud
the head spoke to him thus:
"Tears like you can run:" to
which the now thoroughly fright
ened African remarked: "'Law,
Mister, you ain't aeeu me run

Averts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice iren Mrs. C. Wil
loughby, of Morengo, Wis., pre
vented a dreadful tragedy and sav
ed two lives. Jljctors had said her
frightful cough was a ''consump
tion'' cough and could da l.Ltle to
help her. Atter'many remedies had
failed, her aunt urged her to take
Dr. King's New Discovery. "1
have been using it for some time,''
she wrote, "and the awful cough
has almost gone. It also saved my
little boy when taken with a severe
bronchial trouble." This matchless
medicine has no equal for throat
and lung trouble. Price 5 )C and $r.

I It is not diKieti't tolseethe pol
ities in this move and it must be
'admitted that the scheme is a
good one if it will work. And of
course Mr. Tuft and his friends
and advisers think il will work.
The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says:
''Admitiist ration republicans"
disclose their belief in the pohti
c il significance ol lie suit
through declarations that it will
completely rehabilitate the Ta!t
administration. They make no
pretense ol denial of the tremen
dous political importance of the
battle just begun. Some t-ven

the president'isjeneinies within his

t may be a fact worth no
ting that lite suit against the
ste. 1 trust will not be decided un
til after the presidential election,
and also that the gentlemen at
the head o! the big corporation
do not appear to be seriously id
nrined. Doubtless they under
