KENTUCKY BELLE. 'Snmmer of 'G3, sir, Conrad had gone away? Gone to the country town, air, to sell our first load i cf hay. We lived in the log-house yonder?poor, as ever you've seen; j Qoschen there was a baby, and I was only nine- l teen. Conrad he took the oxen, but ho left Kentucky i Kelle; How much we thought of Kentuck I couldn't begin to tell. Came from the Blue Or a* conntry; inv father ; gave her to me When I rode North with Conrad, away froin the j Tennessee. Conrad lived in Ohio?a (Jerinan he is. you know; i The house stood in broad cornfields stretching on, ] rowaft(rrow. The old folks made me welcome?they were kind as* kind could be: But I kept longing, longing for the hills of the.Tennessee. Oh! for a sight of water, the shadowed slope of a hill. Clouds that hang on the summit, a wind that never is still: But the level land went sketching away to meet the sky? Never a rise from north lo south to rest the weary eye. From east to west no river to shine out under the moon. Nothing to make a shadow in the yellow nfternoon. Only ?! ? breathless sunshine, as I looked out all forlorn, Only ti.e rustle, rustle, as I walked among the corn. I When I fell sick with pining wo didn't wait any But moved away from the com lands out to thin river shore. The Tuscarawas it's called, sir?off there's a hill. And now I've learned to like it next be>t to tlieTcn1 was at work that morning. Some one came riding like mad Over the bridge and up the road?Farmer ltouf's Barebiick he rode, he had no hat, he barely stopped "Morgan's men are coming, Fran, they are galloping up this way.

He swee< s nn all the horses, every horse that he can find: Morgs1 organ, the raider, and Morgan's terrible With bowie-knives and pistols are galloping up the The lad rode down the valley and I stood still at the door: The baby laughed and prattled, playing with spools onthe tioor. Kentuck was out in the pasture, Conrad, my man, was gone, Near, nearer. Morgan's men were galloping, galloping on Sudden I picked up baby and ran to the pasture 44 Kentiii-K I called, "Kentucky!" She knew nie ever so far, I led her down io the gully that turns oil thereto the right. And tied her there to the bushes, her head was just out of sight. As I ran back to the log-house, at oncc there came a sound, The sound of hoofs, galloping hoofs, trembling over the (.'round. Coming into the turnpike Tout from the White Woman tilcn. Morgan, Morgan, the raider, and Morgan's terrible men. As near they drew, and nearer, my heart beat fast in alarm. But still I stood in the doorway with baby on my arm. They came; they passed; with spur and whip in haste they "sped along. Morgan, Morgan, the raider, and his band six hundred strong. Weary they looked and jaded, riding by night and \ Dy day. Pressing on east to the river, many long miles away. To the border strip where Virginia runs up into the west. And fording the I'pper Ohio before they could stop to rest. On like the wind they hurried and Morgan rode in advance; Bright were his eyes like live coals as he gave me a sideways glance. And I was just breathing freely after my choking pain When the last one of the troopers suddenly drew his rein. Frightened I was to death, sir, I scarce dared look in his face As he asked for a drink of water and glanced about the place. I gave him a cup, and he smiled?'twas only a boy, you see, Faint and worn, with dim blue eyes; and he'd sailed on the Tennessee. Only sixteen he was, sir, a fond mother's only son: Off "and away with Morgan before his life had begun; The damp drops stood on his temples, drawn was his boyish mouth, And I thought me of the mother waiting down in the South. Oh ! pluck he was to the backbone, sir, and clear grit through and through; Eoasted and bragged like a trooper, but the big words wouldn't do? The boy was dying, sir,dying, as plain as plain could be, , Worn out by his ride with Morgan upfront the Tennessee. I But when I told the laddie that I, too, was from the South. Water came in the dim eyes and quivers around the I mouth. "Do you know the Blue Grass' country?''he wistful "began to say; Then swayed like a willow sapling, and fainted dead away. I had him into the Ion house and worked and brought him to, 1 fed him and I coaxed him as I thought his mother'd do; And when the lad got better and the noise in his head was cone, Morgan V men were miles away, galloping, galloping on. "Oh! I must go," he muttered, I must be up and away, Morgan. Morgan is waiting me, oh, what will Morgan say.'" But I heard a sound of tramping and kept him back from the door. The ringing sound of horses' hoofs which 1 had heard before. And on, on came the soldiers?the Michigan cavalry? And fast they rode and black they looke- galloping rapidly. v They had followed hard on Morgan's track, they had followed day and night, But of Morgan and Morgan's raiders they had never caught a sight. |L'.. And rich Ohio sat startled through all those summer days. For strange, wild men were galloping over her broad highways, Now, here, now there, now seen, now gone, now nortn, now west, now fast.

A law student is reported to have , been laughed out of L;ilayettt\ Ind., | because detected in the act of airing I his eloquence to his lather's wood-pile. | As if there was anything to be ashamed j of in this surt of practice, or a man ! could be perfect in any gift without : exercising it. Henry M. lirackenbride, ; in his very interesting " Recollections," | mentions the fact that when he first came to the bar in Baltimore, in 1808 and succeeding years, it w;is his custom to cross over to " AVhetstone Point" (the busiest part of Locust P. int to-day), and there exercise himself in declamation under the shelter of *ome tall hedgerows. One day, as he was entering his bosky dell, he found some one speaking in advance of him. and, approaching with precautic n, | found the great William Pinkney rehearsing with care every point, sentence and gesture of a speech which, next day, he delivered in court as impromptu. Pinkney was at this time in the zenith of his fame?the only American lawyer with an European reputation?and he owed his great distinction to his assiduous labor and practice.?Baltimore American. Indian Honesty. Helen Hunt relates the following in the Ctntury, of the remnant of the ~ Mission Indians of San Pasqual, in i California: "During the afternoon H". the Indians were continually coming ; and'going at the shop connected with the inn where we had stopped, some " fo.ur miles from the valley. The keeper of the shop and inn said he always trusted them. They were ' good pay.' 'Give them their time and they'll always pay, and if they die ' their relations will pay the last cent.' Some of them he would' trust any time as high as twenty dollars.'" Statistics show that the growth of ?: timber in Kansas is yearly increasing beyond the consumption. S-.v "L I || THE STOLEN NOTE. J Except that he indulged too freely j in the use of the intoxicating cup, j John "Wallace was an honest, high-! minded and extraordinary man. His one great fait hung like adark shadow over his many virtues. lie meant j well, and when he was sober he did well. He was a hatter by trade, and by industry and thrift iie had secured money enough to buy the house in which lie li\e<l. lie hail purchased it several years before for $'*,0 0. paying $1,001) down, and securing the balance by mortgage to the seller. The mortgage was almost due at the time circumstances made me acquainted with the affairs of the family. Hut Wallace was ready for the day; he had 1 saved up the money; there seemed to be no possibility of an accident. 1 was ! well acquainted with Wallace, having j done some little collecting and drawn j up legal documents for him. One day his daughter Annie came to mv oilice : in great distress, declaring that her father was ruined, and that they should be turned out of the house in which they lived. " Perhaps not. Miss Wallace," said I. trying to console her, and give tin; affair, whatever it was. a bright aspect. " What has happened?" "My father," she replied. 'had the money to pay the mortgage on the i house in which we live, but it is all i .. i gone now. "Has he lost it?" "I don't know. I suppose so. Last week he drew two thousand dollar-; ] l'rom the bank and lent it to .Mr. I Bryce lor ten days." " Who is Mr. BryceV" " lie is a broker. My father got ac- j rpiainted with him through deorge J Chandler, who boards with us, and i who is Mr. Bryce's clerk." "Does Mr. Bryce refuse to pay it." I "lie says lie has paid it." 14 Well, what is the trouble, then?" "Fat her says he has not paid it." "Indeed! But the note will prove that he has paid it. Of course, you have the note':" "No. Mr. Bryce has it." "Then, of course, he has paid it V' "I suppose lie has, or lie could not have the note." * What does your father say V" " He is positive that he never received the money. The mortgag.*, he j says, must be paid to-morrow." "Very singular! Was your father?" j I hesitated to use the unpleasant! word, which must have grated harshly j on the ear of the devoted girl. "Mr. Bryce says father was not1 nuiteriffht when he Paid him, but not I 1 O very bad.' " 1 will see your father " "He is coining here in a few liniments; 1 thought I would see you lirst ; and tell you the facts I e'ore he eame." j " 1 do not see how llryce could have j obtained the note unless he paid the i money. "Where did your father keep j it?" ' " lie gave it to me, and I put it in j the secretary." " Who was in the room when you put it in the se. retary ?" "Mr. Uryce, (Jtorge Chandler, niv 1 father and myself." The conversation was here interrupted by the entrance of Wallace, lie j looked pale and haggard, as much | from the effects of anxiety ;is from the debauch from which lie was recovering. "She has told you about it, I suppose?" said he. in a very low tone. "She has." 1 pitied him, poor fellow, for two ! thousand dollars was a large sum for i him to accumulate in his little busi- i niss.

" You told Ilryce so." "1 did. lie laughed, and showed me his note, with his signature crossed over with ink and a hole punched i through it." "It is plain, Mr. Wallace, that he paiu you me muiic*, <i? uucgi-u, >/i u.i^ obtained fraudulent possession of the . note, and intends to cheat you out of j the amount." "He never paid me," he replied, i (innly. "Then he has f-audulently obtained possession of the note. What sort of; a person is that Chandler who boards : with you?" "A fine young man. Bless you, lie j would not do anything of the kind." " I am sure he would n. t," repeated ; Annie, earnestly. "How else could Bryce obtain the note but through him? What time dot-she come home at night?" "Always at teatime. lie never goes out in the evening." "But, father, he did not come home i till 10 o'clock the night before you I went to Bryce's. lie had to stay in the office to post books, or something i Ui wio iwuu. "IIow did he get in?" "lie lias a night key."' "I must see Chandler," said I. "So harm in seeing him,"' added Mr. "Wallace; " I will go for him." In it few moments he return; d with the >oung man Chandler, who, in the conversation I had with him, manifested a very lively interest in the so- i lution of the mystery, and professed himself ready to do anything to for-! ward my views. "When diil you return to the house | on Thursday night?" ' A limit t welve." Twelve !" said Annie. "it was not; more tluin ten when I heard you." j "The (dock struck twelve as 1; turned the corner of the street," re- j plied ("handler, positively. " I certa n y heard some one in the I front room at ten," said Annie, lo ?king | with astonishment at those around her. " We're getting at something," said j I. "llow did you get in?" The young man smiled as he glanced j at Annie, and said: " On arriving at the door I found I [ had lost my night-key. At that moment a watchman hap| ened along and 1 I told him my situation. He knew me, and taking a ladder from an un-1 finished house opposite placed it against j one of the second story windows, and <. I entered in that way." ' Good.. Xow who was it that was j heard in the parlor unless it was IJrvce j or one of his accomplices? He must j have taken the key Irom your pocket, i Chandler, and stoha the note from the I secretary. At any rate, I will charge I him with the crime, let what may haj>-1 pen. Ieriiaua jitr win ivuiwo ?vucu h;trd pushed." Acting upon this thought, I wrotest lawytr's letter?' demanded again a you"" etc.?which was immediately sent to Mr. Bryce. Cautioning the parties not to speak of the affair, 1 dismissed them. Bryce came. "Well, sir, what have you to say against me?' he asked stitlly. "A claim on the part of John Wallace for ?2,000," I replied, poking over j my papers and appearing perfectly indifferent. "Paid it," he said, short as pie-cru>t. "Have you?" said I, looking him sharply in the eye. The rascal quailed. I saw that hu was a villain. "Nevertheless, if within an hour you do not pay me $2,000, and $100 for the trouble and anxiety you have caused my client, at the end of the next, hour vou will be lodged in iail to answer a criminal charge." "What do you mean, sir?" "I mean what I say. Fay, or take the consequences." It was a hold charge, and if he had looked like an honest man I should not have dared to make it. " I have paid the money, I tell you," said he; " I have the note in my possession;' 4 Where did you get it?" ' I <jot it when I paid the?" " When you feloniously entered the house of John Wallace on Thursday night at 10 o'clock and took the said note from the secretary." ' You have no proof," said he, grasping a chair for support. "That is mv lookout. I have no time to waste. Will vou pav or go to jail?" lie saw that the evidence I had was loo strong lor ins ueniai, ajm ue urnv his check on the s| ot for twenty-one hundred doll irs, and alter begging me not to mention the all'air lie sneaked oil". I cashed the check and hastened to Wallace's house. The reader may judge with what satisfaction he received it, and how rejoiced was Annie and her lover. Wallace insisted that 1 sln>uld take slO<> for my trouble, but I was magnanimous to keep only sjii. Wallace signed the pledge, and was ever after a t< mperate man. He died a few years ago, leaving a handsome property to Chandler and his wife, the marriage between him and Annie having taken place shortly afjter the above-narrated circumstances occurred. Clolhiiur and Climate. We are caught by a cold wave while thinly dressed, and a \i< lent cold is tlie < ons< quence, or \ve go out on a cool morning warmly drcs.se I, and the sun suddenly blazes out and we are carried to the hospital " overcome with heat."' Tiie ell'ort to adapt our clothing to in. c t the exigencies of the climate is constantly made by thousands, not to say millions, of our people; but it as constantly proves to be a failure. U'e cannot adapt our daily clothing to the possible freaks of the weather, and it is with a full knowledge of this fa"t that i'rol'es-or I'arstow, of Chicago, has adopted the opposite process, and now recommends people to wear the same clothing all t he year round,- and t > let the weather suit itself to the clothing. This plan is the result of careful inVi.et ;.r!itifin< In* tlw> t>rf)'t'p<5's(ir upon himself, ami extending throughout an entire year. He found that on ninety-two days when he ha I put cn thin clothing in the expectation of a war.n day the weather had turned out t<? lie cold: that T51 times he had put on warm clothes in expectation of a c??ld day, and had been terribly oppressed by the heat. On the other hand, he found that while wearing the same clothes day after day the weather coin ided with them oOi times, leaving but sixty days in the entire year in which lie was unsuitably dressed, lie therefore claims to have demonstrated that it is hitter to let the climate adapt itself to one's clothes than it is to try to adapt one's (Tithes to the climate. The same great truth is appliid by Professor i:arstow to the urn brella. lie earries an umbrella every day in the yeir. and is calied upon to use it 011 nimty-thrie days in that period. Whereas when he followed the rule of carrying an umbre.la only when lie thought it was going to rain he was caught sixty-four times without iin mnlir.'ll:! in rnin-stornis. :inil carried it on 212 days that turned out to be fair. The professor's advice is that we should wear h<avy flannel under clothes and light upper clothes from m" v-sir's end t the ?!!? r. Of <ourse, theie will be si lew days when tlx man who dresses in this way will 1 e rather cold, and a few other days when he will be uncomfortably warm He will, however, lind that the weather will coincide with his clothing* at least three times as often sis the wisest meteorologist can possibly induce his clothing to coincide with the weather.

A Loiid >n lettf r says that an interesting discussion is at present going on among s ientiti - engineers in regard to the Might of birds, which hit-: considerable hearing upon the llying-ina chine question. It is a matter of oljservation that birds, without ;iny movement of their outstretched wings, and without any apparent muscular exertion, are enabled to rise in the air and to nu.ve laterally even against the .1 moiliic* /*? <n*i>mli /if i.liiicn Willi I. J lit; I1IUUIIO U|'ViuitM* v*. VMVUV movements is a mystery, unci scientists are trying to (lis -over the secret. The most plausible theory is that the wings may be placed in such a position as to divert a current of air from its normal course until it represents two sides of an angle, of which the apex is the hinder portion of the bird's body. If that be the case?say the theorists? there would be really two currents of air coming into < o lision at the apex, the result of which would be a pressure upon the body of the bird at that point, urging it forward with force far gr< aler than (in first thought might be supposed. The smoothness of the ft athors in but one direction reduces t > a minimum all opposition to a forward movement. Kxperiments are n;>w being carried out with mechanical contrivances to demonstrate the correctness of the theory, and it is stated that the investigators are in a fairway to a discovery <>f the cause of the phenomenon, and also to a solution of the llying-machine question. A BATTLE AMONG INDIANS. THE TRAGEDY ENACTED ON" THE SHORES Or GBAHD LAKE. How the Cheyenne** and the t?ten Settled n Standing Dixputr?A Bloody Ulns-mcre-Indinn SnperHtltion. Referring to the murder of two men at Grand Lake, Col., the Denver (Col.) Tribune says : Grand Lake,the. ! scene of the recent tragedy, has a j number of romantic associations con- j I nected with it weaved with a number of Indian legends, all of them more ! or less tragic in their character, and j ali full of the superstition of the red I man. To the Indian Grand Lake has a j ' peculiar interest, for with it is connected stories of battles and carnage, I heroic bravery and a fierce fight which ! swept a whole band from the face of ' the earth. The principal tribes inhab-1 iting this section of the country were 4.1... !**..? /M.i.imnnnj I llir l U'3, illilJIUUUra UI1U Vlli:j> viilic.-., ; and between the former, who were the j mountain Indians, and the latter tribes, j who pitched their tepees on the plains, J was waged a perpetual warfare. The I'tes, if anything, more cruel and un-1 ' scrupulous than their neighbors of the | lowlands, always dwelt in mountain I : fastnesses, from which they would j swoop down from time to time, carry! ing-oll' the ponies and otlier valuables i of the Cheyennes and Arapahoe*, pro-1 j voking each time short battles, in ! ! which they were generally victorious, j i In the spring of 1.S47 a considerable ! j band of I'tes were encamped on the j banks of the lake on the exact spot i where the town now stands. The j j snows of the past winter had left the j j trails siillieiently 1 are, and the stock of i j ponies and other luxuries was getting 1 ; very low, so a considerable portion of I J the warriors were called together one I | fine morning by their chief and haj rangued on the duty they owed to their i i tribe to inliict punishment on their ! ' hereditary enemies, and get some ]k>- j j nies, alter which the line of march ; : was taken for the distant plains. After j several days of marching the enemy 1 I was surprised in a grove of cotton-1 i wood on the banks of the Platte, a few j j miles below where. Denver now stands, | which was the favorite camping and hunting ground of all the plain In-J dians. stealing stealthily upon their, foe the attack was made in the gray of ; the early dawn. Although aroused j from their slumbers thus uncxpect- | edly a vigorous defense was made, and j the battle raged until tlie sun was high ; in the heavens, when the attacking j party, being repulsed, retreated, not I efnnninrr until t.hwv h:ul reached their ! mountain home on the lake. In their , lliglit, however, they carried oil', be-1 side several of the coveted ponies, the j fair ' JStar of the Night," the favorite j daughter of the Arapahoe chieftain. \ As soon as the great loss was discov-! ered all of the young warriors, turning for revenge, clamored for the warpath. But little time was occupied in the funeral dance over the half dozen who had been slain in the battle, when the pursuit was began with a vow from each that no halt should 1 e made i until the enemies were punished and ! the maiden rescued. Silently, like an immense serpent crawling through the defiles and canons, the faint moonlight casting weird shadows from the i cliffs above, now wending around i seme rocky bluff, then stealing through ! some thicket or scrub-oak, the united j 4-rAil Huiir it'qir nun i rinuntl in I'rtimo uvu inuii ?i uj , nvi j itiinvu <** * their course, following closely in the ; ra il of the despoilers. On the third I day, just as the dawn was breaking,' they came upon the camp of the j enemy, who, tired with the fatigues of ! their long inarch and battle, were i sleeping soundly. Like a whirlwind i of destruction was poured the arrows' of the avengers into the bodies of the ( sleepers, and many of them never ! awoke to consciousness. A stubborn resistance, however, was made by the : I'tes, and the battle lasted the whole j day through. The latter, as a measure j of safety, placed all tlie squaws and j pa;ipooses in the camp in the ea-:o;s I belonging to the tribe, ;::il directed] : them to proceed to the center of the j j lake to await the issue of the light.

I'suallv a female friend or. purchaser is also seated on the shop- I board, but with her legs dependent in ! the . treet. Of course she wears a ! yashmak and feringee, but a yashmak j is no bar to oral conversation, and ' st II less is it a bar to the j j language of the eyes, and eon-1 j ver.-ation, of the one kind < r| ! the other, goes on for an indefinite >, time between thegrocer and his visitor. ! j When a veritable customer arrives the j I old Turk does not trouble himself to ! j remove the chibouque from his lips I i - * -i _ A. - 1_ j. i 1 ? _ , i>ni, streicims mil his naim u> inu ; required canister or bottle, draws ] down the scales from the root', j and supplies the article demanded. | Sitting, as lie does, a little above the fa- es of his customers, he looks down | gravely and benevolently upon them ' and seems to say: ' Look around, there are no dark corners to my shop: no ; i sand can lurk undetected in the sugar I which 1 present to you in the light of j the blazing sun, nor could the insidii ous horse bean, if 1 were to introduce | I it among the fragrant berries of I i Mocha, escape your penetrating gaze."

An Englishman bequeathed his two daughters their weight in one-pound bank notes. One of the girls received i'54,200 and the other ?59,344. In the old days English farmers were so slovenly in their methods as to allow the thistles to grow in the wheat in such numbers that the reapers were compelled to wear gloves. The thistles were collected by themselves and were fed ti? the cattle. An experiment was lately made at Paris to determine the power of a crocodile's jaw. The animal was lixed on a table with its upper jaw connected with a dynamometer. An elei trie shock caused him to give a sudden snap, and "!OS pounds were marked on the instrument. It was ?alculatcd that the contractile force of the muscle causing the movement was 1,5-10. Among the formalities connected with cutting the bait is the attention paid to the time. Sir Thomas Browne, in his "Vulgar Error.--,''alluding to this superstitious fan<-y, remarks: "The set and statutory times of paring nails and cutting hair is thought by many a consideration which is perhaps but the continuance of an ancient superstition.' xnus r riuay is considered by many an unlu<ky day for cutting the hair, and Sunday for shaving (In1 beard; hence the following couplet: Fiidny cut and Sunday shoin, Hfl'.fir ue\ er have b. en born. The Swedes and Norwegians "swaddle" their balx s; that is, pin tlieni up in a tight bandage, because it keeps them from kicking around and makes them easier to handle.

"There is no room lor men in journalism," it says, " but there is room for work." The applicant waits on 1 he editor, hat in hand, and the editor gives him the stereotyped answer: " No additional help wanted in this oilice." If a stranger succeeds it will not be by pushing himself in, but by presenting his writing. Editors, as a rule, take interest, not in individuals, but in manuscripts. Angle for an editor's attention, it suggests.

" Hello," said the grocery man to the bad boy, as lie came In looking sick at heart, and all broke up, "How is your muscle this morning ?" "All right enough," said the boy, with a look of inquiry, as though wondering what was coining next. "Why?" " Oil, nothing, only I was going to grind the hatchet, and some knives and things, this morning, and I thought maybe you would like to go out in the shed and turn the grindstone lor me to develop your muscles. Turning a grindstone is the healthiest thing a boy can do." " That is all right enough." said the uiiu nuy, as ne look up a sweet ciuukci. " but please take a good look at me. Do I look like a grindstone boy ? Do I resemble a good little boy that can't say 'no,' and goes off and turns a grindstone half a day for some old duller, who pays him by giving him a h indfid ot green currants, or telling him he will be a man some day. and the boy goes off one way with a lame back, while the good man goes the otner way with a sharp scythe, and a chuckle at the sottness of tl:e boy? You are mistaken in me. I have passed the grindstone period, and you will have to pick up another sardine who has never done circular work. Not any grindstone for Hennery, if you please."

She said it seemed like the longest week she ever saw, but when we brought the water, and took a plate of pickles to the hired girl that was down { with the mumps, we got in the lilac 1 bushes and waited for the curtain to rise. It wasn't long before folks began going to church and you'd a dide laughing to see them all stop in front of where ma was washing and look at ' her, and then go on to where pa was < hoeing weeds and stop and look at him, i and then drive cn.

'" Aliro t everythi ig. I conoulted no less than six di lerent physicians. They all t: e itcd me and none did n.e any good. At th..t time I was suffering intensely. I could not sit upr g it but was obliged to rest in a cramped, uneasy position. I was compelled. ! to urinate everv live minntes, and I passed over three quarts every day. I was not living. I was existing. One night (how well I remember it!) my wife 1 ad imtthe children in bed, when the feeling came over me that I should live bat a very short time. My wife and I talked matters all over, and I give the minutest diicctions as to what she should do after I was gone. I was not in a flighty condition by any means for the doctor, on leaving town the diy following, bade me good bye, faying l.e in vor exj ected to see me ajjain, for I was suffering with Bright's disaase of the kidneys in its la.?t sta'je*. Within the next few days morelhaniw nty friends came to bid me gjod-bye. Among the number was Dr. John L. Clark. He asked me what I had usod in the way of medicines. I told him. He then recomxended a remedy of which I h id heard much, but about which I was very skeptical. If faith were an element of power it ccrtainly was lacking in my case." " And so j ou did not try it ?" "Oil the contrary, I did try it and to my surprise it resrred to go to just the spot. Indeed, it was the most palatable thing I had tviv rvirmth fVvr mnntliQ. Trelished it." " And did it cure yon ?" ' Do I lcok as if it did ?" "Yes, indeeJ. What was it, " Wur..er's Safe Cure." " A proprietary medicine!" ' Of course. What of that? I suppoie I cnce had as threat a prejudice against advertised medicines a-s any one could have. \\ hen I was studying meJicine at Ann Arbor, Mich., I usid to vow with the rest of the class (hat we wo \Id fight all such remedies at all times. When a man comes down to the last hour, however, and bids hiswite and fiiends good-by6, such bigoted prejudices as lhe.-e all vntiish, 1 can assure you, and any remedy that can cure is gladly welcomed." " And how have you been since then ?" "As well?or better, than before." "Do you still etert your strength?" "Certainly. But I do not over-exert, as formerly. My strength is increasing every day, and my health is number one. I know that my life was saved by Warner's Sare Cure, and I be ieve that it is the best medicine that was ever compounded by an/ chemist or physician. I am wil'ing the doctors should sneer at me for such a statement if they c'.ioo e, but I h ive proven its truth, and am prepaied '.o stand by it." * -1 1J ine uuove e\j enuuio uuuuiu uo ui >a!ue to all who are suffering.
