FABLE WITH A MORAL.
The Least Said, tho Least Cause for
Criticism.
Tho Mngplo, tho Owl and tho Pea
cock mot In tho barnyard ono day,
and thoy had scarcely como together
when tho former said:
"I wish to tell you that I have
learned a, now song, and that tho
Mocking Bird Is no longer In It with
mo. I don't want to mako either of
you Jealous, but "
"Ab to that," replied tho Owl, "I
havo been practicing somo new notes
myself, and I think that certain folks
will bo surprised when next thoy hear
mo sing."
"And I havo not been wasting my
time," added tho Peacock. "Whllo I
havo always been called a sweet sing
er, I havo felt that there was room
for improvement, and havo gono
ahead."
"Oh, if you birds aro on tho brag
wo will havo a tost right hore," ob
served tho Magplo. "There Is our
master approaching, and wo will all
warblo away and lcavo it to him to
say which has tho sweetest voice for
song."
As tho farmer drow nearer tho three
contestants began to utter their vari
ous notes. For a couplo of minutes
Undo Reuben stood still in amaze
ment. Then ho throw down his pitch
fork and hunted for clubs and crlod
out:
"You wero all threo bad enough as
It was, but now that you think you
con sing tho noise Is unbearable, and
you'vo got to go or I'll break your
necks."
Moral Ho who says least furnishes
least cause for criticism.
EXPLOIT WON MEDAL OF HONOR.
Brave Act of Gen. J. Franklin Bell In
the Philippines.
Ono of tho few who earned tho Med
al of Honor in the Philippines Is Ocn.
J. Franklin Bell, and tho story of how
ho did It Is 'of tho sort to stir tho
slowest pulse. On Sept. 8, 1899, Gen.
Bell, then Colonel of tho Thirty-sixth
Volunteer Infantry, encamped with his
regiment near Porac, In tho Island cf
Luzon. About 2 o'clock tho following
morning tho regiment left camp and
set out to head off a largo body of in
surgents which during tho night had
attacked tho Ninth Infantry, stationed
at Guagua and San Rita. Col. Bell
was ahead of tho regiment with a doz
en company scouts. Just as day was
breaking tho advance scouts encoun
tered the enemy's patrol, consisting of
a captain, a lieutenant, and flvo pri
vates. Tho scouts fired on them, and,
as tho insurgents started to run, gavo
chase. Col. Bell Instantly spurred his
horse to tho front, and seeing that tho
Insurgents were easily running away
from tho Bcouts, ho pushed Into a gal
lop. Then unmindful of the fact that
ho was far in advance of his men and
wholly without support, ho charged
tho soven insurgents with his pistol,
scattered them, and compelled the sup
render of tho captain and two prl
vates, this under a hot and closo flro
from tho other Insurgents concealed
in a bamboo thicket by tho sldo of the
road. In tho end tho entire party wero
captured with their arms.
Stage Hand Saves an Actor.
"My monologue was not favorably
received by the audience," said an
actor In speaking of his career. "I
had made up my mind to quit the
stage and return to a clerkship In the
auditing department of a water com
pany. Tho night which I had deter
mined to bo my last upon tho stage I
was received by a chilly audience.
Tho house attaches were cold; tho
other actors freezing.
"When I was about through with
my monologue, a malicious stage hand
let down a piece of machinery, which
hit mo on tho shoulders. Tho people
laughed derisively. I turned Indignant
ly and saw back of me a street scene.
That saved mo. Stopping forward, I
said with an injured air:
"'Isn't It enough to havo a house
down on a fellow without letting the
wholo street down on him?"
"The people laughed tho laugh that
cheers, and I warmed up to tho occa
sion, responded to an encore, and
have enjoyed public favor ever since."
Cabman Was Not Literary.
The veteran circus actor threw his
pink silk tights over a black velvet
cushion.
"Barnum?" I said. "I knew Barnum
well."
He took a brown book out of his
pinewood chest
"Barnura's reminiscences," he said,
"Barnum's book. Never read it, eh?
No, I expect not. It's out of print.
"When those reminiscences first
wero published Barnum was a proud
and happy man. He gavo away free
copies to everybody ho knew. One
night, when I was with him, ho
thought ho would give a copy to tho
cabman who was taking us home.
"'Like reminiscences?' he said to
the man,
" 'Thank ye,' the cabman answered.
Thank ye, sir. But It's so late, I'm
afeared tho saloons is all closed.'"
As We Make It.
Ob, Isn't it a glad -world when she, for
whom the sky
Puts on its softest azure, by tender look
or sigh
Confesses that the longing which you have
dared to own
It not a foolish madness nor left to you
alone I -
Oh, Isn't it a good world when, after
doubt and fear.
The gpal at drat so distant looms glo
rious nnd near
When, after what were dangers lie harm
less in the post.
The certainty of triumph Is In your heart,
.at last!
Away with him who Idly sits down -to
nurse his woe
Because there may be dangers out where
he longs to go.
And shame on him who finds it a world
ot hopelessness .
Because he fears to tell her or let her

FEUITFUL FURNACES,
INTEN8E HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists Have Succeeded In Pluck
ing Real Diamonds and Rubles from
the Crucible of the Furnace.
Recent advices from Franco state
that Prof. Molssnn, tho cmtnont sci
entist and Inventor, has actually suc
ceeded In making genuine diamond
and rubles. Ho employs for this pun
poso tho electric furnace, which has
been so improved that a degree ot
heat can bo produced, approaching tho
cxtremo temperatures, which wero un
doubtedly a factor in tho formation oi
minerals and gems In tho interior of
tho earth.
Tho rubles obtained nro ot largo
bIzo, weighing 10 or 15 carats, and In
quality and color equal and oven sur
pass thoso found In tho oarth. Tho
natural forces attending Uio formation
ot diamonds seem to havo been moro
complicated, and so far tho diamonds
resulting from tho efforts of tho sci
entists havo been very small, but still
thoy are positively identified as tho
carbon crystal tho diamond. They
aro remarkably clear and bright, aud
on a small scale as fine specimens as
naturo's own product.
Tho electric furnaco has enriched
chemistry with a wholo serlos ot
new compounds. Probably the ono of
most valuo to mankind at large is Cal
cium Carbide. Tho simple applica
tion of water to Calcium Carbide gen
erates tho gas Acetylene, which Is
now bolng commonly used for light
ing. Tho peculiar merits of Acetylene
light are its brllllanco and high can
dle power, ease of Installation, eco
nomy and Its adaptability for lighting
buildings of every description, regard
less ot their location.
Charming Away Rheumatism.
Chronic rheumatism is a dlseaso ot
advancing life; its nchos and pains
aro most wearing; it cripples so many
of our friends that It Is not surprising
people who begin to feel its grip aro
ready to try anything and everything
for Its arrest. A stolen potato wcrn
in tho left-hand pocket is a very
widely employed charm for this pur
poso In England. It Is ono which of
fers many points of Interest to the
folk-loro student. It is of great an
tiquity, dating from tho time of tho
Romans aud before. In thoso days a
certain root was carried by such as
wero anxious to avoid not only dls
easo but other ills.
NOISES jNJER HEAD
Mrs. Reagan was a Nervous Wreck,
But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
Brought Sound Health.
11 Before I began to tako Dr. Williams1
Pink Pills," said Mrs. Mary Reagan,
of No. 80 Kilburn Btreot, Fall River,
Mass., recently, I was in and out of
bed all tho tiuio, but now I stay up all
day and do all my own work.
"I was badly run down from over
work. Ono day noises began in my head
and nlmost inado mo crazy. My head
felt as if a tight band had been put
around it, aud tho pressure and tho
souuds rnado iuo so uneasy thnt I often
had to walk tho floor all night.
" My stomach was in bad shape, and I
had smothering sensations. At such
times my body seemed bloodless, my
hands wero liko chalk and my face
turned yellow. Tho doctor said I hnd
dyspepsia in tho worst form. Then my
nerves gnvo way and I was completely
prostrated. I frequently suffered from
smothering sensations.
' Tho first box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills that I used quieted my nerves
bo that I could got a good night's
sleep, which was a now experience for
me. Before I began to uso them I was
a nervous wreck and trembled nt tho
slightest sound. I was bo weak that I
had to sit down and rest every few steps
when I went up stairs. Now I can run
up a wholo flight at once. Tho smother
ing sensations have gono and tho noises
in my head havo stopped entirely. My
appenrauco has greatly improved, for
friends who wero nlarmed on my ac
count before, now say: ' How well you
nro looking 1' My husband spent over a
hundred dollars on treatment for me that
was worthless, but a few boxes of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills brought me sound
health."

MOSQUITOES ARE KILLING BIRDS
Attack Them at Night and Suck
Their Blood Away.
Scores of canaries and other birds
in Baltimore, Md., aro tho victims of
the merciless attacks of mosquitoes.
Great numbers of birds becomo weak
and die as a result of having thollfo
blood sucked from their bodies by tho
insects at night.
"Scores ot birds dlo in this city
each year," said James A. Graham, a
canary fancier, "of tho attacks of
mosquitoes. Several years ago I
noticed that tho legs of my pets wero
swollen and the skin cracked nnd
sore. Tho birds perceptibly shrunk in
size and wero nlmost dead when it
was suggested to mo that mosquitoes
had something to do with the trouble.
"I at onco Bot to work, accoptlng
tho mosquito theory as tho correct
one. Tho cages wero covered with
net to keop out tho pests, and as an
extra precaution tho legs ot tho birds
were dipped in oil of pennyroynl, red
cedar and other remedies with per
fectly satisfactory results. Tho insects
can blto through tho feathers of tho
canary with perfect caso. All birds
when thoy sleep during tho Bummer
spread out their feathers, making it
easy for tho long-billed mosquito to
reach their bodies.
How He Was Crushed.
A dudlsh young man sat on tho end

"Thlr, why donth you hitch along?"
"Why should I hitch along?" queried
the other.
"Becauso, thlr becauso I lisp. If
you will pay attention you will seo

Tho Portland man declared that tho

remarked tho Now Yorker, "tho

Tho Iowa man sat quietly munching
his lettuce while the others expect

"Pshaw I" he said, "that's nothing.

Constipation
Endangers Life
Deal With the Honest Druggist
When you ask your druggist for Mull'e Grape Tonic, a cure for
Constipation, Stomach and Bowel Trouble, and he tries to tell you
something else which he claims Is Just as good, that Is substitution or
dishonesty. It lo tin Insult to your Intelligence. He does It for profit,
and not because ha cares about your health. No honest druggist will
do It.
Stop a moment and reflect before you permit him to mislead you.
He la willing to endanger your life and health for the sake of a few
pennies. Is he a safe man to trade with? Deal with the Honest drug

Until Mull's Grape Tonlo was put on tho American market there
was no cure for Constipation and 8tomach trouble. Your Doctor will
tell you as much. He knows that a physio won't cure Constipation.
Some remedies may act as laxatives and physics, but you and I know
from experience that physics aro dangerous, that they weaken, that
they not only fall to euro but make us worse until finally they lose
effect entirely, which means paralysis of the Bowels and death by
Typhoid Fever, Appendicitis, Stomach, Heart, and Lung Trouble,
Rheumatism, Dropsy, Kidney and Brlght's Disease, etc.
There are honorable druggists In most every locality, men who
will promptly supply you with Mull's Grape Tonlo and not try to sell
you something else; but should there be no such druggist there, we
will send you the Tonlo direct from this factory without additional
expense to you.
