ATAXIA M YEARS
POLLOWB MALARIA CONTRACTED IN
SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
Victim Itnil Uecomo Helpless "When II
Tried Dr. "William' l'lnk l'llls, but
Was Cured In I'our Months.
BocnnBo ho did not know that tbcro is
a remedy for ataxia, Mr. Ariel endured
four years of weakness, imiu and tho
misery of thinking his caso incurable.
"At tho outbreak of tho Spanish
American war," ho Bays, "I went with
Company B, Eighth Itegimcut;, M.V.M.,
into camp at Ohickamanga, nud whilo
thcro my system bocamo thoroughly
poisoned with malaria. When I was
mustered out, I carried that discaso
home with mo. After a whilo locomotor
ataxia appeared."
" How did tho ataxia begin?"
" I first noticed n pain in my ankles
and knoo joints. This was followed by
a unmb fooling in my legs. At times I
had to drag mysolf around; my legs
would shako or bocorao perfectly dead.
I had constant troublo in gotting about
in tho dark. I kept a light burning in
my room nt night as I could not balanco
mysolf in the darkness. Even with tho
aid of a light I wobblod, and would
reach out and catch hold of chairs to
provont mysolf from falling?"
" How long woro you a suffcror ?"
"Four years in all. Daring tho last
thrco years I was confined to bod, somo
times for a week, again for thrco or four
weeks at a tiino. Whon I was lying
down tho pain in my back was fre
quently so sovcro that I had to bo helped
tip and put in a chair to gob a littlo ro
lief. I had considerable pain in my
howels and no control oror my kidnoys.
Tho worst of all was that tho doctor
could givo mo no hopo of recovery."
"Howwero you cured?"
"I read that Dr. Williams' Pink
Fills had cured locomotor ataxia and
ono or two friends spoko to mo about
thorn. In tho fall of 1903 1 began to tako
them for myself and I had not used
moro than ono box boforo I found that
tho pains in my kneos and mikles woro
greatly relieved. Four months after
ward Ibecamon porfectly well man, and
I am today enjoying tho best of hoalth."
Mr. Edward n. Ariol lives at No. 43
Powow street, Amesbury, Mass. Every
sufferer from locomotor ataxia should try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills without delay.
Any druggist can supply them.
Domesticity Barred.
Tho Unltod States government has
mado known Its decision that neither
husband nor wife can bo subordinate
to tho other In a government office,
such a stato of things being considered
subversive or discipline and good ser
vice. This was maao Known on tho
uoccaslon of tho chief clerk in tho
United slates engineering olHco at
Heattio, Wash., wishing to marry ono
of tho women clerks under him.
MARKETING POTATO CROPS.
In lino with. tho classic case of tho
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, Is the case
' of tho Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttlo of tho
Boston and Maine Railroad befoio tho
Senate Committee on Intcrstato Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the Interest
of tho localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of tho Aroostook region is tho potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and tho adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land." The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maino to all points
along tho New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on theso pota
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of tho truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained In
and through Detroit and Chteago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
of potatoes from tho Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices thoro
would have been a glut of the custom
ary markets and the potatoes would
havo rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan mado unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachablo
market, oven carrying them in large
quantities to a place so remote as Bos
ton. Tho Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
oven then could not dispose of them
unless tho Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. By means of theso low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maino
were , finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
Whilo tho Michigan railroads mado
rates that would havo been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. Tho
, Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in its revonuo from potatoes,
but It enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates woro subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been takon,
because it Is well established that if
a rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot bo restored through
tho red tape of governmental proce
' dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maino Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi
tation they would havo felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
tho potatoes rot.- ham

Life in Unquiet Macedonia
Journeying through Macedonia by
railway train last month, an English
man thus describes the sights from his
window: "The valley Is alivo with
busy rural life. Men and women aro
working In tho flolds, gray or mouse
colored teams of oxon aro drawing
long, narrow drays along tho paths,
there aro strings of pack ponies, hero
and thoro a Turk riding on horseback,
perched with short stirrups on a high
Eastern saddle. The men aro mostly
in tho jackets and wldo drawers wo
havo seen In Servia, with feet bare,
or In sandals, bound up tho leg with
complicated putties of string; tho
women in red petticoats, with whito
hoods and wimples. Tho land In this
early summer, when the chestnuts and
acacias aro bending with blossom, and
the flolds are bright with tho young
shoots of maize and tho tobacco plant,
wears a prosperous, fertile look, and
tho people seem a Bturdy, well-grown
you would almost say a contented
folk. But tho Arnaut or Anatolian sol
dier, with his rifle and loaded bando
lier and his ragged shoos, Blouchcs

More Than One Technicality
"Say, jedge," said Jim Fury, after ho
had been sentenced to bo hanged on
the outskirts of camp for horso steal
ing, "If thar's any technicalities In tho
law that I happen to think of I s'poso
I kin take advantage of them, can't
I?"
"Sartln, you kin, Jim, though I reck
on you won't find many In your caso."
"Mebbe not, but wlll'yo do mo a
favor?"
"If I kin, Jim. I'm alius wlllln' to
favor tho condemned up to a sartln
pint."
"Well, then, sentenco mo to be hung
at 10 o'clock In tho forenoon with a
rope."
"I'll do It. Just consider that tho
hour, and that ye aro to be choked to
death with a rope. I never heard of
anybody beln' hung with anything
else."
Thoro was much amusement after
court adjourned about Jim finding
technicalities In tho law, but his re
marks were not fully understood until
tho next day. Then for tho first tlmo
the boys began to look around for a
rope, but after half an hour's hunt It
was found that there wasn't an inch
of ropo In tho camp. Tho nearest
Put Washing
A story comes from the west that
is good enough to bo true. In tho
autumn of 1001, when tho royal tour
ists, then known as tho duko and
duchess of York, were passing tri
umphantly' through a loyal dominion,
they came to a small tovn not far
from tho Rocky mountains', of which
Alexander Guthrie was mayor. Of tho
mayor and his wife, be it remarked, In
tho words of Mrs. Jean Blewett, "ho
was Scotch and so was she." There
was a chango In the plans of tho royal
party, ahd tho mayor received word
that they would arrive at 10 o'clock
on Monday morning, Instead of four
hours later- Sunday afternoon was a
period of excitement. The mayor sur
veyed his "Sunday suit" with feelings
of prldo and anxiety, and assured his
wife Margaret that her black silk
would be tho proper garb for tho oc
casion. Ho arose betimes and saw
that tho station platform was properly
decorated. But what was his horror
to discover after C o'clock that Mar
garet was out In tho back yard bend
ing over a washtub and presplring
with honest toll.
Feats of Indian Jugglery
Andrew Lang quotes In Longman's
Magazine a letter from India In which
a Btrango tale of Jugglery Ib told:
"Yesterday," says tho writer, "wo
were all marching in from Khlmlasa
when wo passed a vlllago and on tho
roadside a Juggler was resting. Wo
said to him: 'Juggle!' WO stood
within six feet of him, all round him,
all tho time, and he was half-naked.
He took a rudely carved littlo boat,
empty and undecked, about 8 Inches
by 4 Inches, with one thwart across
It, with a hole for a mast Wo all ex
amined this boat and handed It round.
It was empty. Ho then stuck a thin
bamboo stick about two feet long In
the holo and then took a cocoanut and
handed It round. This cocoanut was
empty, with three holes in It.
"Ho then stuck the nut, which wo
had all seen and felt was empty, on
the bamboo, and stuck a little bamboo

Bald: "Jot the Items down,
And be observant of events
That stir your busy hive.
We'll show the world that Muddycrlck
la very much alive."
I scarce had bought a notebook
And tilled my fountain pen.
When news arrived that Mrs. Cobb
Had lost a setting hen.
The nlnco was in a ferment
Folks knew not what to think.
Though Tommy Jenkins said he guessed
Tho culprit was the Chink.
Then Silas Pegg was raided.
And though they found no rum,
The ohuiches made an 'awful fuss,
And things began to hum.
The air was filled with rumors,
Some true, but mostly fakes
Out none tlonled that Ell Wood
Missed two fine quaghaug rakes,-
street of Urkub, and oven at this early
hour It Is full of movomont. Tho ox
walns of tho noasants coma cronkini;
Sslowly down from tho mountains. Thoy
aro long and narrow and sprlngless,
and each Is drawn by two bullocks.
Somo of tho animals aro sleek, and
cream-colored and patlont, Uko tho
bovl that drag tho country carts
among tho vine-clad slopes of Tus
cany; somo aro wild-looking, buffalo
Uko creaturos, with ragged heads,
borno low In front of humping shotfl
dors, and threatening curved horns.
But they follow tholr peasant masters
quietly enough, as thoy walk In front
with a leading string."
Another sight from his window is
tJTii8 pictured: "Tho women among
theso Christian peoples do their shnro
of manual labor. Hero aro a dozen of
them, who look Uko a sort of femalo
navvies. .Thoy aro dressed In wfclto
cotton and wool, with wldo divided
skirts, and high boots upon tholr sub
stantial legs; each bears an ax or a
pointed heart-shaped Bhovol ovor hor
shoulder, as though It wore a weapon
of war; thoy aro broadly built and
muscular, and thoy swing along with
a fine, straight-kneed, manly stride
Ono seldom sees women who walk so
well."
I
town was twenty miles away, but
Jim stopped any ono from going thoro
by saying:
"Gentlemen, I was to bo hung at 1,0
o'clock, and It's past the hour now. I
wbb to bo hung with n ropo, but you
haven't got any. I demand to bo set
a"t liberty."
"And and this Is a technicality?"
queried tho Judgo with a blank face.
"She bo, sir two of 'em, and I
stand on both. Joe Thomas stole all
tho rope In camp la3t night and hid
It, and If ye hang mo with anything
elso It'll bo Illegal."
Thoro was an awkward and ombar
asslng silence, nnd then tho crowd be
gan to back Jim up, and the judge Miw
that tho points wore well taken nnd
said:
"Jim, you've shoroly got tho bulge
on tho crowd this time, and I'm goln
to turn loose and ax yo to drink with
us. That's plain law, Jest as I glvo
you. Then tho crowd Is goln' to form
in lino and each ono help to boost
you out of town. That's a technical
ity same as you worked on us. Cast
the prisoner loose, and prepare to
drink and kick!" Cleveland Plain

Before Royalty
"Woman," he exclaimed, aghast,
"yo'U bo lato for tho duko."
"Alexander Guthrie," said Margaret
solemnly, "yo're mayor of tho town
and may havo to make a fool of your
self. But Monday's tho day for tho
wash and It's going to bo dono, duko
or no duko. Queen Victoria was a
sensible body, and it's likely that tho
duchess of York would think far moro
of a woman that did her week's wash
at tho proper tlmo than she would If
I were to put on my best gown nt this
hour of tho morning. Now, off with yo
to tho station!"
Alexander departed In sadness, for
ho know the quality of his wife's
"nay." So It happened that when
Prince George and Princess May step
ped on tho station platfoom at Clydo
they were greeted by a chief magis
trate whoso welcome had a subdued
and chastened note. But from the rear
platform of the departing train could
bo seen the broad back of Margaret
Guthrlo as she stood in tho back yard
hanging out tho clothes of tho house
hold. spout in ono holo of the nut, and
stood five yards off, and said: ''Spout,'
and It spouted like 1 o'clock for a long
time. Ho said: 'Stop,' and It stopped;
'Spout,' and it spouted. It spouted
much moro water than could over
havo been In tho nut or boat. All tho
time the man, who bad a monkey's
skull with him, kept on saying: 'Ban
dar ka kopra' ('monkey's skull') over
and over again."
Mr. Lang tells another Jugglery
story sent him by a friend. Tho Jug
gler was a Malay, who stroked- with
his fingers the blado of a long knife
or krls. Tie observer Baw water fall
drop by drop from tho blade, which
.becamo flaccid, Uko a strip of India
rubber. Thrown on the ground, It
bounced about, but was a knife-blade
again when lifted by tho juggler. An
examination showed that thero was
no water on the .mat on which the ob
server saw tho drops falling.
Journalism
Tho wave of crime that followed
Was awful to relate.
Some rufflaiiB. bolder than the rest,
Broke old man Johnson's gate.
Tho sewing clrclo loudly cried
That hell had broken Ipose,
And all admitted that the town
Was going to tho deucei
I kept tho paper busy
With each appalling tale.
Till It scared the summer boarders,
And tho stores began to wail.
Then Deacon Wiley said ho knew
The cause of oil the mess
Was what young Jones was writing
In tho Clamvflle Weekly Press.
They held a nubile meeting,
And oheered Klnatlmn West
When he raid the town was nursing
A vljior in Its breast.
They made me feel an though I were
A wolf among tho lambs .
So I cursed Jim llogors and his rag,
And now I'm digging clams.
