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 on the front page and many Interest ing views within. The calendar is 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. Hasty, Scotland Co.. N.
