Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple
He has tried it In over eleven hundred
cases and never failed except in two cases
both thunder humor He has now in his

A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle and aperfect cure is war

When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains like needles passing
through them the same with the Liver or
Bowels This is caused by the ducts being
stopped and always disappears in a weefe

If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first
No change of diet ever necessary Eat
the best you can get and enough of it
Dose one iablespoonfuljn water ct btd
time Sold by all Druggists
A gentleman of a methodical
habit who bad adopted the practice
of retaining a copy of every pre
scription issued by his family
physician became interested as
time went on to note that the same
ingredients were pretty certain
to be prescribed at some point of
the treatment of every case For
a poor appetite or a sore throat
for restlessness which disturbed
the babys sleep and for troubles
which beset the aged grandparents
the favorite remedjT was always
burning up although slightly
modified from time to time and
used often in conjunction with
others One day our friend hap
pened to observe that the formula
of a certain advertised remedy was
identical with the latest prescrip
tion he had received from his own
physician and in some surprise
he stated the case to him The
family doctor after listening to
what he had to say replied The
case is about this way Whenever
there is a disturbance of the
functions of the body no matter of
what nature it is pretty certain to
be accompanied by a derangement
f the digestive organs When they
are all right the patient gets well
That particular formula that you
have observed me to write more
and more f requently is the result
of an age of careful experiment
and is pretty generally agreed upon
now by all educated physicians who
keep up with the times The dis
covery of the past few years of the
means of reducing every drug to
a powder and compressing the
powders into little lozenges or
tablets or tabules if you prefer
which will not break or spoil or
lose their good qualities from age
if protected from air and light is
the explanation of how it has come
about that this prescription is now
for sale as an advertised remedy
It is the medicine that nine people
out of ten need every time they need
any and I have no doubt that
making it so easy to obtain so
carefully prepared and withal so
cheap will tend to actually prolong
the average of human life during
the present generation

CHESS PLAYERS
Not Over Fifty Skilled Professionals
in the Whole World
Professional chess players consider
ing the laborious nature of their work
the character of mind and the long
preparatory study required are proba
bly as ill paid as any kind of intellec
tual workers The professional chess
player who earns by his play more than
a decent modest living is a highly suc
cessful man An expert may be hired
to run a chess automaton and play with
all comers at a salary less than some
typewriters earn There are in all the
world probably less than half a hun
dred highly skilled professional chess
players
A few professional chess players are
men of means but for the most part
the passion for the game leads the pro
fessional player to put aside material
considerations in order to follow his
bent Some of the best known players
dress shabbily and live plainly The
ablest and most successful usually eke
out their incomes made directly from
the game by writing on chess discuss
ing problems and the like Books
on chess succeed one another rap
idly but none has a large sale They
are costly to produce and the stereo
type plates are of small value The
aggregate of considerable prizes of
fered in chess contests throughout the
world amounts in any one year to only
a few thousand dollars and a stake
of a thousand is a large one Amateurs
who far outnumber the professionals
provide the purses and meet the ex
penses of the match games St Peters
burg is an important chess center and
there the traveling expenses of the pro
fessionals are made up by the local
clubs
Professional chess players are rarely
men of liberal education and usually
men of one idea Chess has been the
diversion of great and broad minded
men but it is commonly the business of
men devoted to one idea The profes
sional chess player seems tireless in the
pursuit of the game One whose duty
it was to play six hours a day with all
comers at a place of amusement was
accustomed to follow his days work
with two hours of laborious study of
special chess problems
Only a Stone Wall Stops Them
By far the most remarkable pilgrim
age ever observed among the lower an
imals was that witnessed in Norway
not once but several times within this
century
A party of fishermen upon one occa
sion were encamped on the borders of
a small ford and were mending their
nets when they observed a number of
lemmings a little animal allied to the
beavers coming out of the wood that
skirted the shore At first seeing the
men they ran back then others ap
peared and more until hundreds were
upon the beach
As the day passed the numbers con
tinually increased until before night
the camp of the men was alive with
the little creatures that now began to
take to the water Thousands came
pouring from the woods in the ensuing
days followed by hawks and other pre
datory animals that feed upon them
They passed on into the water swim
ming over it scores being drowned dur
ing the passage the rest reaching the
opposite shore and moving on into the
woods impelled by the strange instinct
It is said that nothing deters these
pilgrims but a stone wall which they
cannot scale Piles of grain and fodder
they have been known to tunnel
through their instinct being to move
ahead in a given line
The fishes make remarkable pilgrim
ages from one shore to another and in
such vast bodies as to defy description

A GREAT MANS SILENCE
Preserved His Dignity Under Great
est of Provocation
A great man whose wife was de
eded to liiin but was subject to in
sane attacks of jealousy and resent
ment was once visited at bis country
bouse by two old time friends He wel
comed them with marked cordiality
and setting himself between them on
the piazza was soon deep in confiden
tial conversation While he was listen
ing to what they had to say and occa
sionally replying to an argument which
seemed to him more plausible than
logical the door behind him was sud
denly opened and from it emerged his
wife with an angiy face and a pail of
water
Without a word she deliberately up
set the pail and drenched him from
bead to foot The two friends sprang
to their feet in astonishment and
caught sight of the resentful Avoma11
retreating into the house with a tri
umphant air
The man who had been subjected to
this shower bath arose without a word
went into the house and in ten min
utes returned to the piazza having
made a complete change of dress
His friends were still in the 3ard and
were wishing that they could be trans
ported by balloon or by magic carpet
to their own homes where they would
not be witnesses of strange and embar
rassing domestic scenes
Their host called to them and placed
the chairs again on the piazza When
they were all seated he resumed the
conversation with the simple remark
As I was sajing my friends and
then went on with the discussion pick
ing up the thread where it had been
dropped and making no reference to
what had happened
He was quiet and dignified and did
not betray in bis manner a trace of the
mortification and annoyance which his
wifes exasperating attack must have
caused
A weaker man would either have ap
pealed to his friends for sympathy or
striven to apologize for the strange
and irrational conduct of the woman
He had neither accusations to make
nor excuses to offer He strove to put
his friends at ease by diverting their
attention from the painful exhibition
of his wifes infirmity by engaging
them in animated conversation
So successful was he that the three
were soon laughing chatting and argu
ing together as though nothing unpleas
ant had happened
When the time came for the two vis
itors to drive to the station to take a
train their host said good by to them
at the gate with the remark that they
had had a delightful afternoon to
gether
The great man loved his wife and
knew4that she was not responsible at
all times for her caprices and resent
ments Unwilling to talk about ber in
firmities even with old and trusted
friends he acted with rare self-possession
and good taste in maintaining rigid
silence and leaving them to infer for
themselves the reasons for his reserve
Stopping a Great Ship
The motion of a steamship on the At
lantic when the sea is calm is so
smooth and steady that the passenger
hardly realizes the tremendous momen
tum of the vessel under his feet A col
lision even after the engines have been
slowed down gives a startling revela
tion of the energy of motion This ener
gy can also be accurately calculated
with the aid of mathematical formulas
and the time and distance within which
the motion can be totally arrested and
the ship be brought to a stand may be
ascertained in a similar manner This
calculation has recently been made for
several well known ships To stop the
Etruria whose displacement is 9GS0
tons horse power 14321 and speed 2018
knots an hour two minutes and forty
seven seconds are required and during
the process of stopping the ship will
forge ahead 24G4 feet which is only
17G feet less than half a mile The Uni
ted States cruiser Columbia with a
displacement of 7350 tons 17991 horse
power and a speed of 22S knots can
be stopped in two minutes and fifteen
seconds and within a space of 2147
feet The little flyer Gushing also of
the United States navy whose displace
ment is only 105 tons and horse power
1754 while its speed is 224S knots can
be stopped within a distance of 301 feet
in 184 seconds In each case the vessel
is supposed to be going at full speed
and the stoppage is produced by re
versing the action of the propelling ma
chinery
Painless Execution
In Germany the view obtains that tne
execution of criminals should be by
some means more certain even than the
electric chair Dr E Cuhmann a cele
brated chemist suggests the use of car
bolic acid According to his plan the
criminal would be carried to a cell
which can be filled noiselessly with car
bolic acid in gaseous form from floor
to ceiling When the gas reaches the
delinquents mouth and nose it causes
instant paralysis of the lungs and un
consciousness and life departs with
out previous pain

SCIATIC RHEUMATISM AND ITS CURE
From the Gazette Burlington Iowa
The story of Mr Tabors nearly fatal
tttack of sciatic rheumatism is familiar
0 his large circle of acquaintances but
for the benefit of others and those siini
arly afflicted The Gazette has investigat
ed the matter for publication Mr Tabor
s secretary and treasurer for the Coiu
nercial Printing Company with offices in
die Hedge Block and resides at 417 Bas
set street Burlington la A Gazette man
sought an interview with Mr Tabor at his
since of business to day and aitnougu
lie was busily emraged with imperative
duties he talked Treelv and feelingly on
the subject of his recent severe sickness
tnd subsequent wonderful cure
Yes said Mr Tabor I can safely say
that I am a well rami that is my old
trouble with rheumatism has entirely dis
appeared but I am still taking Pink Pills
and will keep on taking them as long as
1 continue to grow stronger and healthier
as I have been every day since 1 began to
ise them You will not wonder at my
profound faith in the merits of Dr Wil
ianis Pink Pills for Pale People after you
nave heard what I have to tell you About
me year ago I was stricken suddenly with
iciatic rheumatism and was confined to
ny bed It grew worse and rapidly as
iumed the form of inflammatory rheu
aiatism I suffered constant and acute
pains and all the tortures which that hor
rible disease is capable of inflicting At
length under the constant care of a local
physician I was enabled to return to my
work but only at intervals Severe at
tacks would appear regularly in my back
and descend into my leg and foot and
threatened to make me a permanent crip
ple I tried various remedies for rheuma
tism but without any e eficial results I
grew pale weak and haggard and my
family and friends grew alarmed at my
condition
About eight week- ugo my mother in
duced me to try Dr Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and you know the result
Before I had used one box I felt greatly
relieved and much stroijv r I continued
their use and rapidly I have
now taken eight boxes and feel like a new
man and completely cured all of which
is due to the elficacy of Pink Pills They
are invigorating anl thoroughly whole
some and have helped me in every way
In reply to inquiries Mr Henry the
Jlruggist stated that Dr Williams Pink
Pills were having a large sale that it was
particularly gratifying to him to know
that the customers themselves were high
ly pleased with the benefits they had de
rived from their use that many of them
stated that the pills were the only medium
that had done them any good that they
not onlv gave quick relief but permanent
benefit That the pills do sell and that
the pills do cure is a certainty
Dr Williams Pink Pills contain in a
condensed form all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar
to females such as suppressions irregu
larities and all forms of weakness Pink
Pills are sold only in boxes at 50 c a box or
six boxes for 250 and may be had of all
druggists or direct by mail from Dr Wil

to the Evangelical Alliance which con
sisted of most of the princes of the

The League of Public Evil 1465 was
a name applied to the League of Pub

Forests Influence on Water Supply
The influence of forests in protecting
the water supply is well illustrated in
the case of Greece In ancient days
she possessed 7500000 acres of forests
To day she has hardly 2000000 acres
and the scarcity of water and other in
jurious climatic effects are traceable
to the destruction of the trees
