There 13 an old soldier in Woodstock, Va.,
served in the war with Mexico and in

various wound. Tho hardshiD3, however,

nathy? His townspeople saw him con- j
dto his house so prostrated with great
rvousnoss that ho could not hold a knife
1 fork at the table, scarcely able to walk,
o, and as he attempted it. ho often stum- I
el and fell. They saw him treated by thi
est talent to be had but still he suffered or
r four years, and gave up finally in despair.
ne day, however, he was struck by the ac-
ount of a cure which had been affected fcj
he use of Dr. Williams' Pink Tills. Hs in
.ediately ordered a box and commenced tat-
npr them. He says he was greatly relieveJ
thin three days' time. The blood found it3
way to his fingers, and his hands, which had
been palsied, assumed a natural color, and
he was soon enabled to use his knife and fork
at the table. He has recovered his strength
to-such an extent that he is able to chop
wood, shocK corn ana do His regular work
tabout his home. He now says he can not i
'only walk to Woodstock, but can walk across
the mountains. He is able to lift urr a fifty
two pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have done for others, but knows that they
have done a great work for him.
He was in 'town last Monday, court day.
and was loud in his praise of the medicine
that had given him so great relief. He pur
chased another box and took it homo with
him. Mr. Mclnturff is willinpr to make affi
davit to these facts.
The proprietors of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not a patent medicine, but
a prescription used for many years by an em
inent practitioner, who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all forms
of weakness arising from a watery condition
of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful
causes of almost every ill to which flesh is
heir. The pills are also a specific for the
trouble peculiar to females, such a3 suppres
sions, all forms of weakness, chronic consti
pation, bearing down pains, etc., and in the
case of men will give speedy relief and effect
a permanent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excesses of what
ever nature. They are entirely harmless and
can be given to weak and sickly children
with the greatest good and without the
slightest danger. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or willjbe-sent postpaid on receipt of
prioe (50c a box or six boxes for $2.50 they
are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by ad
dressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,

An "Ex'
It is rather hard to believe this story of
a Boston child of 8 years, but it is re
lated on good authority. The child,
who is a little girl nanied Dorothy, had
been behaving very badly, as even
Uoston children have .been known to
do; and her mother said to her, chid
ing ly: ,
"Dorothy, really, l cannot be youi
mamma any more!"
. The child made no reply, but gave bei
mother a quick and very arch look. By
and by, after a half hour of silent and
well-behaved play, she came with hei
hat in her hand to her! mother, and said
fcoberly:
"My dear ex-mamma, do you thini
I've been good enough so I could go out
now'".
The Wrong "War.
There is a way of looking at a thin that
is curious and wrong. The old adage, "proof
of the pudding is in eating it," Is sound
sense. And another "never condemn before
t3al." In the treatment of anything, treat
it in ood faith, so when infirmities beset us,
best't them with good will and force. Thou
sands have in this way overcome the worst
forms of rheumatism by using St. Jacobs OiL
Never shrink from what is known to be by
thousands a positive cure for this dread com
plaint, and that is the thing to remove tho
trouble and solve the doubt.

"Corn's unto M, all ye who are weary and

Asrain, there is a flald of usefulness but lit

How Cattlemen Iald the Foundation
of- Their Fortunes.
"The foundation of the fortune of
many of the great Texas cattlemen was
laid in the years immediately following
the civil war," said a man from the
Lone Star State.
"During the four years in which the
drafts for the Confederate army prac
tically depopulated the country of its
able-bodied men, the cattle on the
ranges, running unherded and unbrand
cd, increased enormously in numbers.
Bearing no brand of ownership; these
cattle, which at the close of the war
hadbecome practically wild, were sub
ject to be taken by any man who could
sustain his attempt by force of arms
against other claims of ownership.
"There was a good commercial de
mand for hides,, and these were the
times when so many got their start in
life by riding, pistol in hand, up to the
cattle wherever found unherded, shoot-,
ing them down and taking their skins.
The adult cattle then running at large
were too wild to bo disposed of in anj'
ether wray, and so the hide-taking in
dustry flourished; but when, in time.
through the catching and branding of
calves, herds had been collected on
ranges, the shooting of mavericks fell
into disrepute and came under the ban
of 'rustling.' Those men who, through
the practice, had become well-to-do
cattle owners, now were foremost in
suppressing it, through the instrument
ality of the courts and, more effectual
ly, by informal hangings."

Richard III. in Citizen's Dress.. V
. "Tom Keene played Richard III. in
street clothes in Macon, Ga., two years
ago," said C. II. Reeves at the Emery.
"All of the company's trunks were
carried past Macon on the Central Roa2
in some way, and could not be brought
back in time for the performance. The
house had been pretty well sold up, .
and it would not do to disappoint the
people. Not even a sword could be
procured, and a large cleaver was bor
rowed from the hotel. In citizen's
clothes and with the cleaver as a sword
Keene'and his company went upon the
stage. During the first act there was
a great deal of merriment In the audi
ence, but Keene played as he never
played before, and made his hearers
forget the incongruities. It was the
greatest success of the tragedian's life."
