For years Mr. Miunlmll hud been utterly

so well known tu Hamilton that all thu cliy

stilted, that Mr. Northrop caino lute
possession of tho Information Unit
led to his cqunlly marvelous recov

veloped itself, nnd In spile of thu most
Htronunus efforts of friends uud physicians
tho torrtblo r.flllctlou fattened itself upon
him. For nearly two years ho wus perfect

of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through Messrs.
Ilaisett & L'llomuicdlcu, Woodwurd

condlUon when ho began to use Dr. Wil
liams' Pink l'llls, and thoy havo restored
him to health.
Mr. Northrop was askod what wn claimed

"Tho meanest trick that was ever
plrvyed on me," said a St. Louis drum
mer who wns trying to boom a conver
sation with a Herald man in tho smok
ing cubby of n sleeper, "wns by nn echo.
In n South Carolina town. The llttlo
town is on the side of tho hill nnd Is as
sleepy and uninteresting a place as ono
will find In a year's journey. I got into
the town on one boiling hot day Iu Au
gust nbout ono o'clock and proceeded to.
rustle nround to get through business,
and skip out; '
"Tho town was so Infernnlly lazy
looking that I didn't have much confi
dence In my ability to get business. At
the post ofllco corner an aged und de
crepit gray mule, with flapping cars
and solemn meln, presided over tho
meeting of whlttlcrs who wero In scssiorv
under tho big nycninoro tree. I ac
costed ono of tho group to find out
where Josh Wilklns, tho lending store
keeper, might bo found, and learned
that ho was 'tending a buAylng over
In Catnip Holler.' Just us I was about,
to move away I heard ninulllcdery of
"'Help! help!'
"Tho whlttlers paid no attention, anil
tho gray mule was giving all his tlmo
to a fly on tho end of his nose.
"Again I heard tho distant muffled
ery of 'help! help!'
" 'It's n darned shnmo nbout that poor
nigger,' remarked ono of tho whlttlers.
"'What's tho matter with tho nig
ger,' I asked, tit the sumo tlmo looking
suspiciously at tho wooden-grated man
hole of tho sower on thu corner.
" 'Well.you scc.it's this way stranger,
Hill Sturku' bull pup crawled up tho
sewer from thu crick and got fast, nnd
when tho nigger crawled up after him
he got fast, too.'
"'Great heavens! Why aren't you
digging for him? The poor fellow will
die.'
" 'Of course he may die, stranger, but
then it's pretty hot to-day, nnd ho is
only a nigger, nnyway.'
'"My God, this is inhuman! Como
men, and we'll rcscuu thu poor fellow.
"Just then another cry of 'Help' drovo
me almost to a frenzy. I gavo soino
change to the lazy colored men and sent
them for shovels and picks. They came,
and after distributing the implements
1 went to digging llko a crniy man.
Presently I looked nround to see why
tho others wero not helping me nnd
there was not a soul In sight. I was
wild with rago and cried down tho man
hole to nsk how tho man was getting
along. Not n word came In answer. I
backed off a little to survey tho work
und heard that samu muffled sound say:
"'Come off tho perch! You uro an
ole fool.'
"I looked around and saw tho wholo
towu coming at me. They wero laugh
ing and shouting, ar.d I know I was tho
causu of a great joke. They led ino to
a barroom and told mo to register In a
big book labeled 'Echo I'ools." There
wero over live hundred names of pcoplo
who hud been fooled. It was ono of
those whispering echoes where sound is
thrown back from thu bluff to ono par
ticular spot. It cost me $17.80 to buy
the drinks." Detroit Herald.
THE NEWSPAPER ILLUSTRATOR

But tho newspaper Illustrator's llfo is
not entirely replete with exciting
ovents that stimulate his enthusiasm
and servo to iinbtiu him with love for
his work. There nro long weary sea
sons of murder trials to be heard, or
political gatherings to bu attended for
tho purpose of getting tho portrait of
some commonplace-looking man or
woman who persistently manages to
conceal his or her features. This is
often tho moro exasperating as tho
"victim" does so qulto unintentionally.
Then there nro the ghastly sights of a
holocaust, a collapse, mlno disasters,
railway horrors, and tho long chain of
accidents which bring death In its most
repulsive aspect to human beings. Tha
nrtist Is the one attacho of a newspaper
who must r.co thu torriblo havoo
wrought, must gaze upon horribly mu
tilated corpses, upon the terror of
frantic survivors and upon tho heart
rending grief of those who find almost
by Intuition only the shapeless remains,
of their kin beneath tho shattered,
timbers of a railway train or tho
smoldering fragments of a burned,
building. What Is more, ho must try to
keep cool nnd collected, because trem
ulous nervousness Is incompatible with
good drawing.
Hut tha public demands of a news
paper that It show at least a suggestion
of a horrible scone, beyond tho stirring
accounts given in letterpress, and tho
artist must nt thoso times bo deaf ta
tho pleadings of his heart, and work
because it Is his duty to his employers
and to his family and to himself.
Tho dear public usually furnishes tho
lvidlcrous element In tho Illustrator's
llfo. It is so very curious, this dear
public. Let the poor representative pf
plctoral journalism appear upon any
street or anywhere olso in public, nnd.
betray his occupation by the modest,
way In which ho squec.es into an out-of-the-way
corner, by tho sketch-book
and tho up-and-down look of his eyes,
nnd ho at onco becomes an irresistible
center of attraction to passers-by, and'
while, of course, nono of thu adult ones,
would bo lllbred enough to look over
tho shoulder of n man writing a busi
ness letter, they think nothing of In
truding upon tho man who makes his
memoranda n fac-slmile of tho things
hu wishes to remember. Max do Lfiw
