It was not quantity of money, but activity of mcney and quality of money that the country needed. There was quantity enough for all our uses. -General Marden told the story of the Litchfield gala “I hear you are going to marry one of them Litchfield gals,” said an old man to a younger one. “Will they make good wives?” “I have tried three of them.” "So it was,” Marden said, “with Republican Presidents.

Minn. Each day, each month, each year, the Grand Army of the Republic la growing smaller. Almost each hour Is some veteran soldier of the Rebel lion responding to the call of the Great Commander and Joining the army of the silent majority.

Mr. Sweet has for many years been a resi dent of Minnesota, and for the past ten years has resided in this city, where he Is engaged In the manufacture of carpets. He is now flfty-one years of age. He served in the war three years and seven months, with Company G,: New Tork, participating In sixty bat-1 ties, including Gettysburg. During the war Mr. Sweet contracted' heart disease, which was ■ accompanied1 by excessive nervousness. As age In-i creased his symptoms grew worse and msnv were the remedies resorted to. by him without the slightest relief. We will let Mr. Sweet tell the story in his own words: "Six months ago, at the suggestion! of a comrade, who had been benefited! by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, 1 began their use, and I very cheerfully state that they have invigorated and built up my nervous system in a wonderful way. They have done me a world of good and I have been greatly benefit ed by their use, where everything else I took failed to give me the relief I sought for. I have recommended them to a large number of my old comrades and it is a pleasure for me to do so, for I feel that the manufact-j urers are deserving of any good that) I can do them in saying a good word) for their product, in return for the) good they have done me. I will gladly recommend these pills to any one wrlt-i lng me if they doubt the genuincss off this statement.” When Interviewed, Mr. Sweet felt sa grateful for the good that he had re-j celved through Dr,, Williams’ Pink) Pills that he did not have the slightest; hesltanpy in going on record. Hlsi word is considered his bond by all who know him throughout’ this section. Mr.; Sweet is not the only one in Stearns!
