No remedy known to the Medical Profession has been In use so long and with such uniformly satisfactory results as PERRY DAVIS' VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER. It has been used with such wonderful success in all parts of the world In the treatment of these difficulties that It has come to be considered AN UNFAILING CURE Fob All Summer Complaints, f and such It reallly Is when taken In time vad ac cording to the plain directions Inclosing each toot tle. In such diseases, the attack Is usually sudden and frequently very acute; but with a safe remedy at hand for Immediate use, there is seldom danger of the fatal result which so often follows, a few days' neglect 'i . . The Inclination to wait and see if the borrow does not bring a better feeling, not .Infrequently occasions a vast amount of needless suffering, and sometimes costs a life. A timely dose of Pain Killer will' almost Invari ably save both, and with them the attendant doc tor's fee. i f . 4 It has stood the test of forty years' constant use In all countries and climates, and lsjperfectly safe In any person's hands, s. , It Is recommended by Physicians,-Nurses In Hospitals, and persons of all classes and profes sions who have had opportunity for obserring the wonderful results which have always followed Its use. ,,:A-; , , I hare ptewlbed Perry Davis's Pain Killer ex tensively la JBowel Complaint (particularly for chil dren), and It la, In my opinion, superior to any pre paration I have ever used Jar, the relief of that disease.

Their ancestors the pious praise And like to Imitate then ways; ' . How, then, does oar first parent live. What lesson has his life to give? " Th' ascldlan tadpole,' young and gay . Doth life with one bright eye survey, . His consciousness has easy play. He's sensitive to grief and pain, .Has tall, and spine, and bears a brain, 1 , And everything that fits the state Of creatures we call vertebrate. But age comes onr with sudden shock He sticks his head against a rock I His tail drops off, his eye drops in. Hla brain's absorbed Into his skin; He does hot more, noc feel, nor know The tidal water's ebb and flow, But sttli abides, unstirred, alone, . A sucker sticking to a stone. And we. his children, truly we In youth are, Hue the tadpole, free. And where we would we blithely go. Have brains and hearts, and feel and know. Then age comes on. 4 To habit we Affix ourselves, and are noc free; Th' ascidian's rooted to a rock. And we are bond-slaves of the clock; Our rock is medicine betters law. From these our heads we cannot draw ; Our loves drop off, our hearts drop In, a nd daily thicker grows our skin. We scarcely live, we scarcely know The wide world's moving ebb and flow. The clanging currents ring and shock, Butwe are rooted to the rock. -And thus at ending of -his span-, Blind, deaf and indolent does man ltevert to the ascidtan. .. . . f,-r.;i -rSL Jamul Gtietlf, ' " A FiendUb Plot. Burdette,of tjie Burlihgton Hiwkeyef tells how the scarcity of young pa en works for evil at Nantucket: rr"Q4ft evening, X don't, remember whfettiin troduced a young friend of mine; ihd he is very young and very bashful; Jdjv Julian C. Elginbrod, of Buffalo; U a young lady acquaintance. After few moments of society chatter, he jsnggest ed the ice cream saloon. Then she arose and introduced him to her two school girl- friends, her mother, the mother of one of her friends, and j an aunt who ; was f visiting . them., ; Then the aunt introduced him to hear elder sister and an old lady who was not a relative they explained, but was as dear to them as though she was their own mother. Then they all said in a (general sort of way, Well, are you all the affirmative, as they slowly followed the horror-stricken young man to the door, and the procession filed Off down the street toward the ice cream saloon, stopping on the way at a house to pick up the old lady's daughter, and calling at a store for the twin cousins of one of the aunts beautiful girls they were from Springfield. I watched the column when it swung by 'fours, right into line' in front of the ice cream saloon, where it formed like a line of men at a railway ticket office, the old lady smilingly and patiently bringing up the rear, standing under the flicker ing gaslight and the. steadfast stars awaiting her chance at the frozen pud ding. It was far, far in the summer night when Julian Elginbrod returned to the hotel, and when I looked out of the window and saw his pallid face and glittering eyes, and noted the club in one hand and the revolver in the other and heard him mention my name and ask the night clerk what was the number of my room, I feared that he might feel harshly toward me and I barricaded the door of my room with the lounge, the bedstead, the stove and the trunk, just before he came banging against it. He slept in the hall that night across my threshold, and I only escaped the next afternoon, when the landlord, aweary of his incessant pounding of my door panels with his club, had him arrested as a dangerous lunatic." Illinois Still In tlije Iead. Illinois still leads all the other States in the number of miles of Its railroads. This position Illinois has occupied since 1870, at which time it passed Pennsyl vania, which previously had been the leading railroad State. The railway mileage of the former State is now 7,578; Pennsylvania comes second, with 6,068 miles; New York follows close behind, with 6,008 miles ; Ohio is fourth, having 5,521 miles; Iowa fifth, with 4,779 miles, and Indiana sixth, with 4,336 miles ; Missouri, Michigan, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, -Georgia and California follow in the order named. There is no State or Territory which is totally devoid of railroads, though Montana Territory can boast of but ten miles of completed road. New Mexico, which stands next lowest, and which two years ago had not ; a mile, now has 118 miles and is adding to it' every week.

One of the 'most-interesting and; en-i couraging papers yet 'Ordered printed by the association was that sent in by Mx W. H. Patterson, of. Georgia. , Mr, Patterson declares t that having had his taste of freedom and felt the pinch of necessity, the negro has become a val uable and indispensable citizen for which he should nave due credit Con sidering that the present generation of Southern negroes was reared, in bond age and ignorance it staggers the mind to contemplate the wonderful progress it has made since slavery was abolish ed. In the main the colored men lare sober, industrious and . contented. Many schools for colored children! are in existence, and the majority of them supported by Southern money and in fluence. To the credit of the colored men it should be said that the schools are well attended and that the children make rapid progress in their studies. People of the South know as well as any of the philanthropists of other sec tions and other countries that the way to make a valuable citizen of the negro is to educate and enlighten him up to the standard of intelligence where he will become self-reliant. The colored race is fast approaching that position. An idea that prevails with many gen tlemen who have never visited us is that political proscription prevails, and that a man with Republican proclivi ties has no social position at the South. I confess that immediately after the war this, to a certain extent, was true. Now, however, it is differentv f or any man who casts his lot with usp and comes for the purpose of good citizen ship, receives as warm a welcome as can be extended by any people, and I assert with pride that we of the South are as strongly attached to the Union, and i would, if required; fight as man fully for. its maintenance as we ever fought to destroy it. We want peace and quietude, and if we can have these time will show us a great and prosper ous people. Mr. Patterson then sketch- lt the rapid progress of manufactures and agriculture, thanks to the improv ed machinery secured in the Northern States. Cotton production has increas ed and the article meets with ready sale. The evils of defective transpor- j tation have disappeared, and Splendidly equipped "railroads now thread the South in all directions.
