Either the aveaage of intelligence
must be very low in Oumberland,
Md., or only ignorant persons are
sought for jury duty. It was brought
out the other day that in a bunch of
twenty summoned for jury duty not
one was a subscriber to a newspaper.

Jon P. St. Jobh says Bryan was

aaorilegious, but our theology will

True it is that many of God’s ap

was being made for the Bible were

he would be present in spirit and

proper words in their mouths at the
proper time. When natural laws

aeulous things performed it was
H , done in His name and up to the
present time we have no evidence

The Lord has no use for hypocrites

"Well the supernatural visitation

a by-path which was called the -cut
Juut before entering the timber re

of the evening, 1 suddenly confronted
u figure draped in white lying on a
partly decayed log just at the right
alongside the path. Halting quickly,
my hand dropped involuntarily to the
pistol in my belt, but before 1 bad
time to draw the weapon the ghost
t rneil its head and fixed its gaze upon

with white hair, and while it looked
more in pity than In anger, my heart
ro-o und the pulsation quickened to a
iuiver-avery hair of my head felt as
though an electrie current was oper
ating at its root and my breath
seemed clogged—my nerves were par*
Hlyzod. The great melancholy eyes
of tno apparition seemed mockingly
to say. “Come to me; your weapon is
harmless. I am as the air—invulner

NEW TREASURY NOTES.
I'eoultni-ltles That Jinks Them Difficult to

Perhaps the principal object of the
revision of the United'States paper
money is to make the backs of the
notes more open—that 1* lessoovered
with the engraving, so that the slik
ibrus shall be more distinctly visible.
The distinctive paper now in use no
longer has the two threads of silk run
ning longitudinally through the not*
says the Taper World, but in their
place are two stripe* each half an
inch ivido or so, of short red and blue
silk fibres scattered thickly in the
paper, in such manner that they show
on ly on the reverse of the bilk
Those two fiber stripes practically
divide the note into three sections of
about equal size, and this feature of
. bre in the paper is held to be an al
most absolute safeguard against suc
cessful counterfeiting. But that is
only one of several devices employed
to Insure the inviolability of the cur

Vlempled counterfeit and no portion
iff the Ueslgu is repeated on the same
note so that no small part could be
engraved by a skillful operator and
then duplicated by mechanical pro

hns been the oase with some of the
previous -paper money" of the gov

The geometrical lathe work of the
new designs is said to be the most ex

and such as to utterly baffle any at

TOWNTALK
The Public Aroused
During the Past
Week
Crowds of People Called
at Hershiser & Gilli
gan’s Drug Store
to Get Free
Samples of
DR. HOBBS SPARA6US KID
' KEY PILLS.
Hundreds Now Testing
the Remedy in this
Vicinity.
NOW FOR RESULTS.
An intense interest was created in this
▼lcinity by tbe announcement in last
week’s issue that a free package of Dr.
Hobbs SparSgua Kidney Pills would be
given away to any person who would
call and ask for It at Hersbiser St Gilli
gan’s drug store.
This interest was shown by tbe unex
pectedly numerous calls made at tbe
above store. Many of thecallers, who
are sufferers from kidney complaint
expressed their astonishment at tbe
offer to make no charge for the samples.
Heretofore, the practice of medicine
proprietors is to require pay in advance,
and let tbe afflicted take the chance of
core..
Tbe proprietors of Dr. Hobbs Spara
gus Kidney Pillr are reversing this
practice, preferring to exercise the
golden rule of "doing to others as they
would be done by.”
They believe,, because it has been
demonstrated in every instance, that if
those affected with kidney troubles
once try these pills, they will be con
vinced of their great merit, and get
well by their use.
For this reason they made arrange
ments with Herahlser & Gilligan to
freely distribute as many sample boxes
as should be called for, during the last
seven days. Everyone who asked for a
box was given it free of charge.
Some of those calling for packages
have expressed themselves as follows:
"The science of medicine has certainly
advanced when the proprietors of a
remedy can stake so much upon a' free
and universal test of its merits.”
"The honest and straightforward
manner in which the medicino is offered
for trial, gives me confidence to use it.
I hope it will prove helpful."
“Dr. Hobbs announcement that he
has made a great discovery which will
cure and build up the kidneys, and his
offer to prove it free of charge is a
novel proposition, and gives me great
hope of relief."
"This is certainly a fair proposition.
I have everything to win and nothing to
lose.”
Many will be curious to know what
are-the results of the test of these pills
now going on in the neighborhood. It
is a little too soon to look for results,
piobably another week will make them
known. If those getting the samples
have faithfully followed the directions,
they will be encouraged to persevere in
their use.
It is gratifying to learn that wherever
similar distributions have taken place,
there has followed a large sale of the
remedy, and many letters of gratitude
have been written by those who have
regained lost health.
auvcij jjciouu wuu Knows or suspects
that iiia kidneys or urinary passages are
affected; every person who has any of
the following symptoms should make a
test of these pills without delay, vizi
Pains in the back or sides, headache,
nervousness, frequent thirst, shortness
of breath, pufflness of the eyelids, swell
ing of the feet and ankles, dark colored
or scanty urine, with albuminous or
other deposits in the urine, or too fre
quent urination.
For the benefit of interested persons,
living out of town, who, from, any
reason, failed to get a sample, Dr.
Hobbs authorizes us to say if you will
cut out the cupon below and mail it to
the'Hobbs Remedy Co., Chicago, 111.,
with your name and address, a sample
box of these pills will be sent you by
mail, postpaid, and free of expense.
