The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, February 5, 1902. "DECLINED WITH THANKS." j Of all the woes a poet bears (And they are not few). Of all his troubles and his cares. His fits of feeling blue. The phrase, "Respectfully declined "With thanks" beats all the pack. And he has troubles on his mind What time ms siuu comw uat*. f Ah. yes, there's trouble on his mind That few can understand. Except the fellows of his kind. Far scattered through the land. They know what fills his life with woe And paints the future black. For they have often felt just so When their own stuff came back. Full oft at peace with all the earth The bard awakes at morn; His heart is filled with jocund mirth. No grief he feels or scorn. But comes a ring, the postman's there, With letter laden pack. And, oh. the poet's deep despair! He gets his poems back. How proudly does he feel when lie Has labored hard and made Some verse for which he hopes to o? Quite handsomely repaid. How thrills he when he sends it off. But. bitter blow, alack. How madly does he rail and sccft When, catlike, it comes back! Don't talk of other people's woes; Not one of them compares With what the struggling poet knows And grimly grins and bears. Let fate set everything amiss From now till doomsday's crack; There Is no grief as great as this? To get bis poems back. Perhaps beyond the pearly gates. Where bards (and saints) abound And where no fiend of "usual rates." No editor. Is found: In bliss he will forget the pain That keeps him on the rack. And. best of all. he'll ne'er again Keceive his poems back. Oh. you. to whom these lines are sent. Oh, man of shears and paste. In vain the time 011 them I've spent If made not to your taste! They may be limpy here and there. And something may be lack: Yet kindly heed the poet's pray'r. And do not send them back. ?life. Georgia IVcetret*.

It seems rather that you scratch them in, and the irritation grows worse with each new attempt to relieve it. There is only one tiling tc do in s*ch a case, and that is to entirely cleanse the blood from the infecting poison. People who have suffered from diseases caused by impure blood, or blood poisoning, have found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery a certain and enduring cure. Lotions and liniments may alleviate, but they cannot cure. The disease is in the blood, and the cure must be in the blood also. Golden Medical Discovery* " eradicates from the blood the impurities and jxiisons which breed and feed disease. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands, and so increases the supply of pure, rich blood, which, nourishing each organ, * ' > --- - -i?1 wv. ? DmtQS up lUC WUOiC ULKIJ til UW1UI auu strength. The ceres effected by " Golden Medical Discovery " are positive and permanent. In many cases of disease, such as eczema, tetter, pimples, eruptions and rheumatism, an effectual cure lias been found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, after all other medicines and means had failed to help or heal. Sometimes a dealer tempted by the larger profits paid by less meritorious medicines will offer the customer a substitute in place of " Golden Medical Discover} " claiming that he knows it to be "just as good." There is nothing gaiued by trading one thing for another which is only "just as good." There is every thing to risk, in trading tne discovery with a world's record of cures for a substitute with nothing but the unsupported claim of an interested dealer behind it. If you are sick you want to be cured. That's why you want "Golden Medical Discovery " and nothing else. There is no alcohol in the "Discovery," and it is entirely free from opiuru, cocaine, and ail other narcotics. SUFFERED HORRORS. William Plotter, Esq., of Redoak, Montgomery Co.. Iowa, writes: "I consider your ' Golden Medical Discovery' one of the best medicines on the face of the earth. While in the south-west, three years ago, I got poisoned with poison ivy. The poison settled in my blood and the horrors I suffered cannot be told in words. I thought I would go era ay. I could do nothing but scratch. I would go to sleep scratching, wo:ud wake up in the morning ana find myself scratching. I scratched for eight mouths. Had it not been for ' Golden Medical Discovery' I would be scratching yet. I tried different kinds of medicine, tried different doctors, but all the relief they could give me was to make my pocket-book lighter. " I then began lakirg Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Took four bottles without any relief. Kept on taking it. I took in all ten bottles and I got entirely cured. I can say that if people would take your medicine instead of fooling with some of the ouacks that infest the small and larger towns, disease would flee like chaff before the wind." JVC# tStTCLtaa ttOJtvi uuuivnaf "For about one year and a half my face was very badly broken out." writes Miss Carrie Adams, of :i6 West Main Street. Battlecreek. Michigan. " I spent a great deal of money with doctors and for different kinds of medicine, but received no l>enefit. At last I read one of your advertisements in a paper, and obtained a bottle of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Before I had taken one bottle of this medicine I noticed a change, and after taking three bottles I was entirely cured. I can w^.1 veeonimend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to any one similarly afflicted." FREE.

Toll* Why Farir.rr Abner Jackson Went Buck on the Administration and Hot*- Widow Baker's Lover Ceased MaldtiK a Fool of.Himself. [Copyright. 190T, by C. B. Lr?wis.] As I got along to Farmer Abner Jackson's 011 ray route the other day lie asked me in to take a drink of hot cider aud cat a couple of fried cakes, and I had scarcely got seated when be began: "Abe, I rxj>cct you've heard about my bolting the ticket and leaving the party?" "No; haven't heard a word." said I. "But it must be known all over the county by this time. Yes, sir, I've got through with this administration, and if the government topples down they mustn't blame me for it I predict an awful smash In loss'n a year, but I wash my hands of It." "What's the matter. Uncle Abner?" "I've been thrown down, Abe? thrown hard. You know we've hau trouble In this school district. Jim Cooper has been bossing things till he's broke 'em all up. Jim's a good man with a hoe or a pitchfork, but he don't know no more, about reading and spelling than a Hottentot. He's no man to boss schools, and he knows it. but he's just that blamed mulish that he will stick it out. Everybody wants him out and me in, but he wou't resign." "Well?" "Well, I've been shedding my blood for the party for the Inst twenty years, and I thought the party might shed a few drops for me, I wrote to the president two weeks ago and told him just how things was?that this state would i lake a l!op next 'lection if <?im Cooper didn't get out. Roosevelt lflis hunted wildcats, and so have I. He has caught sharks, and I have caught suckers. lr"'c rrvt on the sneak, and you know how f knocked 'em out around bere last campaign." "Sort of a bond 01 sympathy between you." I said. "That's it. Abe?that's it. That Is. I thought there was, hut darn my buttons if it turned out that way! lie never paid the slightest attention to my letter." "You don't mean it!" "But I do. and it had 'In haste' on the envelope too. No. sir. never paid the least attention, and Jim Cooper Is around spelling cat with two t's and declaring that the Ohio river empties into the Iludsnn at Albany. Tbe iron has struck home, Abe." "But a letter may come later." I said. "It will never come. I'm a thrown man. and it's no use making excuses. All my blood has been shed for noth ing. Even if a letter did come now it would be too late. I've let it be known that I've bolted the party and Intend to flop the state with me. Jim Cooper can run his Ohio river, and be hanged to him, but when this government is busted to smash and calling upon the patriots to rally I won't be there." "I'm sorry. Uncle Abner?mighty sorry." "Well. I am and I ain't." he replied as he followed me down to the gate. AAtwT* oa/% A maor? n n 1 inn 1 1X1 DVLIJ IV otc LUto .11UV.1 ivuu * ? K. "TOM.

Cloodby. Abe. There won't be any postoffices to run or mall to deliver after about three months, but if you can split rails or grub out stumps come to me when the bustup takes place." I had no mail on that trip for the Widow Baker, but she stopped me as I was driving past to say: "Abe, you are the same as two people, ain't you?" "Yes, you might put it that way," said I. "In one ease I represent the American nation and am sworn to up bold tbe sacred constitution anu tui: starry banner, and in the other I'm plain Abe Scott and don't amouut to much in any line. Do you want my advice about anything?" "I do." "Is it anything about postal matters?" "No: 1 want your private advice. You know Tom Slievlin. of course?" "Somewhat: good natured. out lazy." "Yes. but he asked uie to marry him more'n three months ago. I said I would, and I'm willing to. but"? "Speak right out. Widow Baker." "I?I think he's clawing off. That is. I've heard that he was shining up to Lucinda Tillotson." "And cooling off on the marriage question with you?" "Yes. Now. Abe. tell me what to do. If he no longer loves me and does not wish to marry me. why"? "Stop right there!" said I. "He has told his love aud asked for your lily white hand, and he's old enough to know what be wants. If he isn't, we'll sec about it. Is he working for John Oiorrin vnt WUU%) UV, J Vfc . "Ye?." "Then you needn't do any more worrying. You just go in and fix up to look as pretty as you can. and if he shows up this afternoon treat hi.a nicely." "But what are you going to do. AbeV" "Never you mind. Good by and good Iuek." I found Tom working in a field along the road, and when I called him to th* fence I said: "Tom. the Widow Baker is a mighty nice woman." "She is," replied Tom. "But she's got a red hot temper." "Yes, I guess so." "And as I came along she was loading a double barreled gun with buckshot." <*^1* ^PftTTi tic f ho V>-nuut i*Ji i ?*oauu xvui mo i?iv red went out of his face. "Duuno, but if I bad asked her to marry me and was putting off the happy day and making a fool of myself"? He didn't wait to hear any more, but started up the road for the widow's on the keen jump, and as I looked after him his cap blew off. and lie nercr stopped to pick it up. M. Quad. I take great pleasure in giving the very highest testimonial to Dr Baker's Blood and Liver Cure. I used it in 1895 Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was severely afflicted with the disease and tried my lamily physiciaD, in addition to various j remedies, without effect. I procured some of the above medicine, and be fore using a bottle of it I could walk i without my crutches, and by the time I had used a bottle and a half, j I felt entirely well, bdc! have not j suffered any since. I cheerfully re- i commend it. aDd believe it will do j all its propietors claim for it. Respectfully, E O. Mastia, Deputy Collector of Wilkes Countv, X. C.. Feb 22. 1803. For sale at the R zzar.

As Mrs. BowI ser received biin with astonishment he paraded up and down the hall and let i f | ! j be brought his sword down XX9 lu::ged at thb cat. ; the tip of his war weapon go clank, j clank, clank! It was still clacking when she innoeeutly asked: ; "You are not going to use that te split kindlings with this winter, are i you?" j "If you don't know the difference be j tween a sworu an? an ax. you a uei- . i ter learn," be replied as be came to a j holt. "But It's so funny for you to lug j i bome an old rusty sword. is it to jab j cats with?" He gave her a look of mingled pity . and disdain as he unbuckled the sword j j and hung it ou the hall tree, and no i more was said about the matter until j after dinner. Then his military bear: ing became so noticeable that even the I cat remarked it. and Mrs. Bowser could j | no longer restrain her curiosity. "You must have got that sword for something?" she queried as he brought his heels together and straightened up. I _______ i 1 ^ ^ IT WAS 31R. BOWSER WALLOPIX* OF A < He passed down the hall and buckled 1 It on and drew the blade from Its ' sheath'and returned to "salute" with it ; and reply: .1.!

I "And how would you like to hear th*in call me Colonel Bowser?" "But ytni are not a colonel, are you?" "Not yet. not just this minute, but who knows what may happen? Noth! ing bad about the title of Colonel Bowser. eh? And how would :tu envelope look addressed to Mrs. Colonel Bow? ser?" i "You?you must be going to join a j military company?" she stammered, i while the cat walked about as if on 1 drill. "That is the programme, madam." i replied Mr. Bowser as he "saluted" | again. "I have been thinking the matter over for some time and have come ! to the conclusion that it is my duty to ; serve my country." : "But you are too fat." ""What? What's that? JTow aui I | too fat? What do yon mean by any ! sucb remark?" i ?I mean you are r3ther short and ; fleshy and f?a!dheaded." explained Mrs. i Dowser In a very humble way. "Oh! 1 am. eb? And you are the ! one to twit me about It? Well, it so | happens that our military system tikes j in the short and fat and bakl headed as i well as tbe tall and lean and knock! kneed. I thank you, however, and wiil ! remember the insult." ! 4'You know 1 didn't mean it that way. I Jt simply struck me as curious that aft| all these years you should want to ! play at soldiering." "After all the >e years!" be shouted i | as be tripped over the scabbard awl I ] i fell against the wall. "'Woman, am I j a thousand years old that you talk j about all these years.' ado wrio sam ; I was to play at soldiering? Am I a j puppet or a man? Do I go into this , tiling to sbow off a uniform or to use this good blade to cut. down the one- |1 mies of my country?" |{ And he brought liis sword down and |. luugcd at tlje cat in a way that hurnn- I" ed her back up and sent her under the |1 piano on the double quick. j j "1 see an inscription on the blade, i What is it?" asked Mrs. Dowser as he !J went parading around. . ; ^j, "Ah! Ton are Interested, are you? Yes. there Is an inscription. It is in Latin. 'No cede inalis no exeat nemo repute.' In plain English it means. 'When you have found a hero, give him thi.s sword.'" "And how did you come by it?" "A committee of the national guard waited on me at the office this afternoon and handed it to me. They want me to bo colonel of the regiment, and I have promised to take the place. I shall order my uniform tomorrow, and when you see how soldierly I look 1 hope you will be proud of me. You can hardly understand the full significance of the honor at the first go off." "And this committee?did .volt invite ] them out to drink?" she asked. "Certainly." "And they drank at your expense four or five times, didn't they?" "Perhaps they did. But what of It?" "Nothing, except that it looks to me as if they were after drinks." "Woman, haven't you got the sense of a chickadee?" stormed Mr. Bowser. "Do you think everybody takes me for a fool? 1 suppose if the butcher came here this evening and asked me to buy a pair of ducks you'd try to make out that he took inc for an idiot." "But you have never been a soldier," she persisted, "and why should they make you colonel over all the others?" "Why should they? For fifty different reasons, none of which need be stated to u blockhead of a wife. Mad am. you will oblige me very much if j you will retire to your own room. I j rather expect *B?ther call from the committee." "And more drinks!" she obserred as she rose up to go. Mr. Bowser glared at her as long as she was In sight ami then glared at the eat until the feline crept under the lounge, and he was about to do a little sword exercise when the doorbell rang. He thought It was the committee, but It wasn't It was his neighl>or Brown, and as soon as Brown saw the sword he asked: "What on earth are yon doing with that old toad sticker?" "Oh. it was presented to me today." modestly replied Mr. Bowser. "Perhaps you can read that Latin inscription." Rrnwn received the blade and work ed away at the Latin for a moment and then translated, "He Is the prize iass who wears this sword." "What do you mean, sir?" demanded Colonel Bowser. "That's what the Inscription reads." "I deny it." "But it's so. Bowser. They've put up ; THAT SWORD OVER THE BACK HAIR. another job on you. I came in to have a same of checkers, but as you are out of sorts I'll wait till another evening. It's queer how often you get it in the neck." "You are a liar!" But Brown laughed good naturedly and took his leave, and a minute later Mrs. Bowser hoard something. It was Mr. Bowser walloping that sword over the back of a chair and shivering the blade to pieces and then raising the window nntl throwing the pieces into the back yard. She called down to ask if lie had stabbed himself in the leg. but he refused to answer. lie was holding on to himself for fear he'd wreck the whole house. M. Quad. i Hut He Didn't.
