Spurring his jaded horse to renewed efforts when the animal should be refreshed with proper food and rest, is about as sen sible as prescribing nerve tonics, alcoholic compounds, coca mixtures and cocktails which only spur on the already weakened nervous system. Neither does it do to put the nerves to sleep with narcotics. When you feel worn-out, broken down, jaded, and feel the effects of brain tire as well as nerve weakness, sleeplessness and fatigue, take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a tonic which will do you lasting good, build you up, increase your appetite and strength and improve the condition of the blood. When, the blood is impoverished the nerves feel the effect. Nervousness in nine cases out of ten is the "cry of the starved nerves for food." Feed the nerves on rich blood and all nervous manifestations will cease. I have been suffering for about eight years," writes Mrs. H. Pierce, of Millsprintts, Ky. " Have had several doctors to treat me some for female weakness and others for stomach trouble, but received no relief. When I wrote you for advice I was hardly able to work, and you advised me what to do. I took nine bottles, five of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' four of ' Favorite Prescrip tion.' also two vials of the ' Pellets.' Dr. Pierce's medicines will do all that you claim for them."

Compared with the work being done by the Whitney Reduction Company on the lad kin river in Stanly county, every oiner aeveiopment in progress in the State appears insignificant; but a great deal is going on. in one line and another. The proposed South bound Railroad from Winston Salem to some point on the Seaboara Air Line is going to be built: a railroad from Raleigh to little Washington is in process of construction ; the South ern is surveying a line from Marion to a point in Tennessee, and will build it; the Durham and Charlotte Rail road is moving slowly forward; an electric car line la being built from Asheville "to Burnsville; the High Point Thomasville Narrows road seems assured, and the Wilkeeboro and Jefferson .Turnpike, saidto.be the best graded road in the.

If it is written in an attractive style and has the furth er merit of brevity we believe that it would be widely read. Winston Senti A W. Biggerstaff, a Lincoln county farmer, widower, aged 61, and Mrs. Anna B Chapman, of Saginaw, Mich., aged 58, were married in Charlotte.

Th( earnings of tht Raleigh dispeo sarv for the past quarter amounts to $12,500, a gain 'of $4,500 over the same period last year. The increase is in part due to the fact that the Legisla turt was in session the first two months of the quarter this year.

He knew that the Governor was likely to have more influence with Mr. Yerkes than any lawyer,, therefore his help was very valuable to Casper. If the Governor wants to practice law he should go at it right and not beat the devil about the bush, using his official position to am private interests, just as he did in the Glenn Williams case.

This package can't be for us." , "That package is all right," he an swered as he came out into the ball. It's from my friend Taylor, and I was expecting it." "Rut it looks to me like a gun case." "And so it is." "And what on earth do you want with a gun? You have got at least four old revolvers around the house, not one of whichv you would dare fire off, and now somebody has made you believe you ought to have a gun. I sup pose the next thing will be a quick fir ing cannon." "Don't excite yourself unnecessarily. my dear," said Mr. Bpwser as he un strapped the case and brought the gun out "I have been planning for three or four days past to take a day off and go gunning. Farmers say that rabbits are thicker this winter than ever be fore, and tomorrow I shall drop out HE BLAZED AWAY AT A into the country and knock a few of them over. Do you think you can show cook how to make a rabbit pie?" "I presume I could if she had the rabbits." "Don't you worry about the rabbits." I'll bring home enough to make pies for the whole neighborhood. Taylor was out the other day and killed fifty one. I ought to do as well or better." "And you are going to spend a whole day tramping around in the snow and wet in hopes to kill a rabbit?" "I am going out for a day's recrea tion, same as hundreds of other men do. I am not going to look for one lit tle rabbit, but for a hundred big ones. I may knock over a dozen quails and partridges before I am through. I fail to see where you can find any fault." "But you are no hunter. As a mat ter of fact, you have not fired a gun three times in your life. If you fired at a rabbit you would be as apt to hit one of your own feet." "What!" shouted Mr. Bowser in tones so loud that he jumped the cat two feet high, although she was out on the back fence. "Woman, do you mean to In sult me?" "Of course not, but you know It's the truth. If you were going out to bunt rabbits with a club I wouldn't say a word, but If" ."That will do, madam that will do. We need not discuss the subject fur; ther." "I am glad you have given up the idea. You must know yourself what a dangerous thing a gun is in the hands of an inexperienced person." "What! What! I give up the idea! By the seven great horn spoons, Mrs. Bowser, but you seem to be trying to provoke me to murder! Do you know who I am?" "I think I have met you before." "Then you know that when I set out to hunt rabbits not all the sarcasm and lying and deceit and fault finding in the world can ehange my determina tion. I set out tomorrow morning to hunt the hopping hare. I shall find him scores of him. I will bring him home and convert him into pies thou sands of pies. I will sit down and feast on those pies all the rest of the winter, and if you dare to touch one single mouthful of them I'll divorce you with in fifteen minutes!" . . Mrs. Bowser had no more to say. She had simply meant to discourage him Instead of bringing on a row, and she secretly wished she had been more pol itic. Mr. Bowser walked up and down with heaving chest for a time and then returned to his gun and cartridges. He bad no experience with shotguns, and he had never killed a rabbit, but he did not regard that as a handicap. When the silence had lasted a quarter of an hour Mrs. Bowser broke it by asking if the Japs had taken Port Arthur yet. "I have nothing to do with the Japs or Port Arthur," was the stiff reply. "Why should there be more rabbits this year than last?" "The rabbit question has been drop ped." "But I wish you wouldn't be angry with me. Of course I'm only a woman Cheated Death, Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolfe, of Bar Grove, Iowa, cheated death.

"That a man a person who had nev r fired a gun" "Madam!"

Only a few words passed from that hour to bed time, and when she awoke in tme morn ing Mr. Bowser was all dressed. He had dreamed of rabbits all night. He had seen tbem by the thousand. They had come in droves and begged him to turn them into rabbit pie,' and he had loaded a freight car with their frozen bodies. There was little conversation over breakfast, and as soon as it was dis- 1 , , . V. 1 .1 .1 LU . n paiciieu lie Buuiuuereu uio guu auu started off. Mrs. Bowser and the cat watched him from the front steps, but he never took a backward look as long as he was in sight. "Is that a goon he has on bis shoul der, ma'am?" asked the cook ten min utes later. "Yes." Then you may get your mourning CHIPMUNK ON THE FENCE. bonnet ready and begin to feel how It feels to be a widdy!" . A street car line took Mr. Bowser out among the farmers. Only one unpleas ant inchleut happened en route. A small boy and his father were on the car, and, after looking at Mr. Bowser for a long time, the small boy queried:' "Father, is that 'a Nimrod?" "It may be a Nimrod, my son, or it may be a durned fool it's hard to tell!" Half a mile beyond the terminus of the car line the hunter turned into the fields, and his heart was instantly re joiced. There were tracks in the snow thousands of tracks and it seemed to bim as if all the rabbits in the country had been playing in that locality. Find ing a rabbit track and finding the rab bit who made it are two different things, however, as Mr. Bowser soon came to know. He peered into hollow stumps and behind them, he looked up into tree tops and down into hollows, he trailed the hoppiag hare to right and left and held his gun ready to shoot, but he walked miles, and hours went by, and the main ingredient for that rabbit pie was still lacking. Now and then he encountered a farm er and asked him where the lair of the elusive hare could be found, but no two answered him alike. Some told him to keep right on for five miles far ther and then turn to the left and go on for four miles, aud some said that there was no idiot asylum within a dis tance of fifteen miles. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as Mrs. Bowser was planning a good dinner for her absent Nimrod, a farmer looking man rang the doorbell, and she admit ted him. "Is this Mrs. Bowser?" he asked. "It is." "Is your husband short and stout and baldheaded?" "Yes." "And did he go out into the country today to shoot rabbits?" "He did." "Well, mum, I've got something to tell you. He came along to my place looking for the hopping hare, as be call ed it, and he blazed away at a chip munk on the fence and killed two tur keys and wounded a calf, and a con stable is holding him in the barn until he shall pay $15 damages. He didn't have but $5 with him, and I'm here to see if you want to pay the balance and let him come." Mrs. Bowser sent the ransom' and waited. - Five hours later as she sat in the; sitting room the front door softly opened and closed, and ghostly foot steps ascended the stairs. A ghostly man sat down hard on a chair in the family bedroom, and a ghostly grunt of relief came floating down to her ears. She could have gone up to investigate or she could have called from the foot of the stairs, but she did neither. She put on her hat and went over to a neighbor's for an hour to give Mr. Bow ser a chance to get a bite to eat and get to bed. M. QUAD. A Tip.
