The following is a straightforward state ment of facts by a veteran of the late war. No comrade will need further proof than their friend's own words, ns here given. Squire John Castor, of Ncwpoint, Ind., is the narrator, nnd nn honest, respected cit izen ho is, too. lie said: "1 have been troub led with rheumatism in ull my joints, ever since I went to the war. It was brought on by my exposure there. It came on me grad ually, nnd kept getting worse until I wns unable to do any work. I tried several physicians, but they did me no good. They said my trouble was rheumatism resulting in disease of the heart, nnd thnt there was no cure for it. Nevertheless I had lived nnd fought tho disenso for thirty years, and did not intend to die, simply because they said "llSr1 I must, so I hunted up Bomc remedies for myBelf, and finally happened on Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I nsked some of my neighbors about the medicine, for it had been used by several persons in the community, and they recommended it very highly. I procured n box. The pills helped me right nwny, nnd I continued tnk ine them. I commenced tnking them last fall, and finished taking the sixth box a few months ago. I am not bothered with the rheumatism now the medicine has cured me. I can most certainly recommcndDr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People." These pills are not only good for rheuma tism, but arc invaluable for any disease that arises from impoverished, or bad blood. They do not act on the bowels. m FIRE GRENADE AGENT FOOLED. The Proprietor of the Hotel Lost a Good CiiHtomer. The proprietor of a suburban hotel has n son whose tense of humor seems likely to re sult in the destruction of the business of the house. Recently one of the guests was the traveling representative of a fire grenndo manufacturing house. The grenades arc green glass bottles filled with a compound thnt is said to smother fire. They are hurled into the center of the blaze, and, bursting with the force of the impact render an engine and n line of hose unnecessary. The fire grenndo agent remained several days at the hotel and advertised that before his departure he would give a grand exhibi tion of the efficiency of the green glnss bot tles. Early in the evening when the exhi bition was advertised to take place a large and curious crowd gathered in front of the hotel. The agent caused a fire to be built in the street, boxes nnd barrels being piled many feet high. After seeing that the fire wns roaring merrily the agent made his ap pearance bearing an armful of firq grenades. He hurled the bottles one after another into the blazing pile, but instead of smothering the flames the grenades seemed to have the opposite effect. The fife blazed up nearly twice its former height, nnd the surround ing buildings began to shed their paint, while the crowd drew back from the fiereo heat. Tho agent was the most astonished man in the group until he learned that the son of the hotel proprietor hod extracted the gren ades from the sample case, poured out the contents and then filled them with gaso line. The crowd soon found out that the grenades had been "doctored," and yells of derision nearly drowned the protests of the agent ns he attempted to persuade the hotel proprietor thnt the house should pay the costs of the indulgence of the small boy a humor.

Tho cinematograph hns settled an important international question be tween Franco and Russia, that might otherwise have added to the prevailing political uncertainty in Europe. It seems thnt Prince Bismnrck, in nn in terview with a German newspaperman, recently observed that President Enure, during his visit to Russia a few months ago, hail behaved with perfect pro priety except upon one occasion. This was when, nt his arrival in St. Peters burg, lie reviewed the Cossack troops which acted as his guard of honor. IIo was said to have returned their salute by simply touching his hat, instead of taking oil his hat, as the protocol pre scribes. Bismarck's criticism was brought to the French president's at tention, who cudgeled his brain to re member what form of salute ho gave on that momentous occasion, but in vain. Neither could any of his comrades re call. But the other dny the cinemnto graph, which seems to have kept an un wearied eye on President Faure's move ments in St. Petersburg, was interro gated upon the point, nnd was able to return a satisfactory answer. Tt dis closed a reproduction of the scene of tho president's arrival at Petersburg, showing him walking slowly in front of the ranks of his guard of honor, tak ing off his hnt with a large and sweep ing gesture of the most correct style.

I was at that time earning my living as n talloress, but for five years, between the pain in my side and the blisters I was in constant misery, and work was a drag to me, with uo prospect of relief; fortuuntely for me, however, a friend advised me to take Dr. Ayer's Snr snparllla, and finally persuaded me to take a regular course of it. When I first com menced taking the Sarsaparllln my side was so painful that I could not fasten my dress, and for a time I did not get any relief) but my friend advised me to per severe and relief was sure to come, and come it did.
