of this truth.
, "Now what I wish to bring before

'Does God care that men go down to

' RECORDER CAUSES A PANIC. ,
Pig, th Tiny IS em Boy, Sees Ir.
Nluuuionbonse Bending Ijow Over
His Denk at the Police Station and
Reports It to pleree Heath Savin
Pierce Investigates ' tne .Matter , to
Find Recorder Making Out Com
plimentary Ticket to Poultry Show,
"There's something doing" Said Pig,
the smallest news boy of them all, as
he flopped down in one of the easy
chairs In the city editors office. .
"Why," asked . Pierce Heath Savin.
as he lifted his eyes from a colored
supplement
"Cause, when I passed by the police
station just now I saw the recorder
making out papers," explained Pig.
"Was -writing a letter. I guess," sug
gested Pierce.
'No, sir, I thought that, but I stop
ped and peeped In the window, and I
saw hhn Just dropping In a few words
among a lot of printed lines on every
sheet. He's making out summonses
for witnesses."
"Well, I'll go see: I can make out
like I want to sell Mr. Shannonhouse
a paper and take a look. See?" Thus
spoke Pierce Heath Ravin as he gath
ered up his papers and started out.
'Well report back here. Pierce." said
an Observer man who had heard the
conversation.
"All right."
Ton minutes later Pierce came back.
and his face was all covered with
smiles.
"What is it Pierce?" was asked.
"Shucks! The recorder ain't doing a
thing but sending comps to people for
the chicken show. He ain't summon
ing nobody."
The storm clouds blew over and all
was aulet again. Pig went out of the
door crying: To-day's New Tdck,
Washington and Baltimore papers!"
and Pierce Heath Savin resumed his
perusal of the funny sheet.
A Pretty Calendar.
The Presbyterian Orphans' Home,
at Barium Springs, has Issued a beau
tiful aouvenir calendar, with a picture
of the main building of the Institution

really a beautiful thing of the kind.
Those who issued It deserve much
credit.
Mrs, Joe Person's Remedy
Has been a real blessing to our home,
and while it Is not a "king cure-all,"
as some one quaintly puts It, It Is a
wonderful medicine. In 1901 there
was an epidemic of typhoid fever in
this village two of our boys (aged
$ and 9 years, respectively) were
stricken. We gave the Remedy three
times daily, doubling or trebling the
dose when the temperature went be
low normal. No other stimulant was
uncd. Patients were dieted and
nursed carefully, and though one of
them was very sick, a physician was
called In only four times in the
fourteen weeks. The after effect was
nplendtd. each patient rapidly gained
Btrength and within two weeks after
leaving his cot, was able to go to
Sunday school. We owe much to
Mib. Joe Person's Remedy.
About four years ago acrofulltls de
vt-loped In one of our children
(neither of the above). The child's
life wan deepalred of for a long while,
the mere touching of the affected
months of hovering, apparently over
the brink of the grave, we began to
uko Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy with
the consent of our physician. Slowly
the blood began to get purer, in four
month a tump as large as an egg
pastic-d down the leg, stopping above
the knee. The doctor lanced the
place, then came no more. This
opening remained for two years, dur-Ina-
which time both Wash and
Remedy wer dally ueed, the boy:
growing hearty and healthy. At the I
end of thin time he began to try to'
walk. Walked on "all fours" for a ;
year, then on hts feet for the past :
year. But he had grown crooked j
pitifully ao. Had him examined by 1
one of Richmond, Va.'s best physl-1
clan", who said he was "In splendid
condition, and would only need me
chanical treatment. Until I get him
straight, continue to give him the
medicine he has been taking." This
was done, and in January the little
follow went to the Retreat For the
Hick. Richmond, Va for this mechani
cal treatment. In April he returned
to Haaty, straight. In all these years
not one drop of medicine except Mrs.
Jo Person' Remedy. As a blood
purifier Its value Is (In my opinion)
priceless. I cannot, in view of all It
has done for us, withhold this testi
mony. MRS. J. T. THOMPSON.
