I have found great relief for him in the use cf the Electropoise, when the doctors had failed to give him any permanent relief, and I am satisfied that but for its use we should havo lost m- I have never seen it fail to reduce his fever, or to bring sound sweet sleep I would not be without it for manytimes its cost. " Yours truly, J. C. BUXTON. Mr. Buxton is also President of First Na tional Bank, Winston, N. C, and is ono of the. foremost men of the South. . For all information address ATLANTIC ELECTROPOISE CO., Mo. 1405 new York Av., Washington, D. C ' on 882 Kino St., Charleston 8. C. i Dr.BulI'e Cough SyruprrS'S BILL ARFS LETTER. HE SAYS EVERY MAN OWES HIS ANCESTORS, But He Only Quotes Another He Speaks of His Book Just From the Press and Talks of Diamonds, Etc. Dr. Johnson said to Boswell that every man was in debt to his ances tors. In debt for science and art, dis covery and invention, for improved methods of agriculture and better modes of living, for history and poetry and romances, and thousand things too tedious to mention. And as we cannot pay the debt to those who are gone before we should pay it to those who are to come atter, pay it to pos terity. "Therefore," said .he, "every man should do something for the comfort or the pleasure of those who survive him. He should write a book, or pi each a sermon, or plant a tree, or a vine, or leave behind him a good example." I was ruminating about this when I saw the bushels of apples that were gathered irom the trees I planted many years ago, and that will continue to bear long after I am dead. So much for that. It is not uncommon nor is it generally unselfish. For forty years I have been planting trees and vines to please Mrs. Arp and her posterity, and my debt on that line is paid. And now I have written a book and the Constitution Publishing Company has placed it before the public for better or worse. Mrs. Arp told me a long time ago that some of my letters were better and some worse,and so in making up. this book I invoked her better judgment, and she says she tried to winnow the wheat irom the chaff, but as there was not quite enough wheat to make a book, some chaff will be found in the pages. "However," said she, "I think the beautiful cover will make up for that. It is the binding that sells a book nowadays. It looks so pretty on the parlor table." "Just so," said I, "I have observed that it is fine dressing that makes the lady. It doesn't matter what her contents are provided she is gilded and garnished on the outside." Mrs. Arp looked at me with one oi her looks, and I continued my broken remarks by saying ; "I allude, of course, to these fashionable society ladies who are stufted and padded at the milliner's until you can't tell where cotton ends and flesh and blood begin." "What business have you to know ?" said she. "None none at all, said I. It's all heresay, and it may be a mistake a slander. Women love ornament by nature, and I love to see them arrayed in beautiful garments that come high and hang low. If I were rich you should wear diamonds and pearls and dress in silk velvet and Siberian furs, but I am not rich. I don't like to see any lady dress finer than you do, but still I don't consider it a sin for a woman to dress fine and wear jewelry if she can afford it. You remember that Isaac sent Re becca a pair of earrings that weighed half a shekel each and cost and about seventy-five cents." "Extravagent lover !" said Mrs. Arp. "And you know," I continued, "that the fields dressed with flowers and the heavens with stars and the birds with plumage." "Yes," said she, "the male birds are very fine the rooster and the peacock, for instance. The hens have to go in their every-day clothes and do all the work and scratch for the chick, while the males go strut ting around in their fine clothes and do nothing." This unexpected com parison upset me for a moment Mrs. Arp always upsets me in an argument. But I rallied to my posi- j tidh and said : "Tut so, ius.t so : ex actly, and it is because birds are of the earth earthy, and so is man, but woman was not not made out of dust ; she didn't evolute from the animal Dame Nature finished up with her and quit "Her 'prentice hand she tried on man, I And then she made the lasses, oh." Mrs. Arp smiled one of her smiles, and said : "That will do now. Burns wrote beautiful poetry and loved all womankind. If he had been faithful to one it would have been better for him and 'her. But what about your I book ? Do you expect to make any money out of it, or are you just publishing it for fame or for fun?" "A li ttle money," said I, "a little fame ar id some fun. V ou know that the aut hor of a book don't get much money . I hope to realize 25 cents a copy and to sell enough to keep you ir t missionary money. One copy , a wee k will do that, won't it ?" Sh e never said anything. She seem ed to be reading a paper the missi onary paper. She must have read something tender and pathetic, for suddenly she looked at me and rem arked : "Well, I hope the book wiH' sell and bring you enough money to make you easy and comfortable. If t he people like your letters I should thi nk thev would like the book, lor yd ur best ones are all in there, and th e illustrations help out the stories. L Tncle Tom Barker's Fight with the B lacksmith' is a splendid story, and i s j is the 'Sorrel Hair' and the chap it er on music, and the 'Savannah J ' Cousin' and the 'Georgia Cracker' : and you driving the carrylog. Any j one of them is worth the subscription -1 price, j I have half a mind to take an j agency myself and sell the book. It I : looks bard for the author to get only I 2; cents and the agent who sells the books get more, but I suppose that is business." It is hard on the agents, too, said J, "for they getaione of the fame and none of the fun and are never ! invited to stay to dinner." She continued to comfort me with hopeful remarks and some critical praise of my random literature and a tender reminder that "Anno Domini" was gaining on us botn, and soon. : very soon, we would have to lay j down the needle and the pen and j depend on others for support. And ! men sne Degan 10 raiic aoout ar 1 and Jessie and wondered how many days they could stay when they came home Christmas She soon became reconciled when the older children left us, but she can't give up these j Mr. E.

What 'intense, J tive Committee, will be married in anxious interest did these mother i Janmry to Miss Faison. feel in the daily accounts ol little Julia Strovall's case. "Who do you wish to have her," said L "I don't know," said my wife. "I feel so sorry lor both the aunts. I know how they love her. I do wish that it could be so that Julia would divide her time with them. I wish they would all make friends just for the child sake." And so when I came home with the morning paper and saw her look of inquiry, I told her it was settled just as she wished, and everything was calm and serene. 1 think she rejoiced almost as much as the girls' kindred. "I wish," said she, "that every motherless child had an aunt so loving and so able to care for her and bring her up to womanhood. There is many an orphan that nobody wants and nobody will take except Dr. Jacobs, at the Thornweil Orphan age. We must send those children a nice Christmas box this time. There isn't a member of our church who can't put in something some thing to wear or some books to read. Our own grandchildren may be left as poor and pitiless some day, and maybe what we do for or phans now will be paid back to them. There is an awful responsibility upon us all, but the rich people don't seem to know it. They wait for misery to come to. their doors and beg, but they never hunt for it." That is a fact. And misery won't go in many cases. Misery had rather suiter than to beg. Misery will sleep cold rather than ask for a blanket. Christmas will soon be here and then we will gather our flocks together and be happy, but there are thous ands to whom Christmas is no more than any other day. Let all do what they can this time to make the poor and friendless happy. Bill Arp. P. !?.

The Cause of Rheumatism. An acid which exists in sour milk and cider, called lactic acid, is be lieved by physicians to be the cause of rheumatism. Accumulating in the blood, it attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints, and causes agnoizing pains. What is needed is a remedy to neu tralise the acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys and liver that all waste will be carried off. Hood's Sarsapa rilla is heartily "recommended by many whom it has cured of rhema tism. It possesses just the desired qualities, and so thoroughly purifies the blood as to prevent recurrence of rhematic attacks. We suggest a trial r it i c :n u.. n suffer from rheumatism.
