"No?er?but I've had appendicitis." ?New York Journal. ....... __ ? _. Spring Pev6r. Spring fever is another name for biliousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels means poisoned system. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms. DeWitt's Little Early Risers remove all danger by stimulating the liver, opening the bowels and cleansing the system of impurities. Safe pills. Never gripe. "I have taken DeWitt's Little Early Risers for torpid liver every spriDg for years'', writes R. M. Everly, Moundsviile, W. Ya. "They do me more good than anything I have ever tried." J. E. Kaufmann. Only Eleven Kinds. "Speaking about the many kinds of climate to be found in California within a small area," said the Philadelphia man, "I had an instance of it a few months ago. I was visiting a friend 011 a fruit farm, and I went out one morning where he was at work on a shed and soon felt cold. He noticed me shiver and asked what was the matter. " 'The air feels wintcrish,* I replied. " 'Oh, I see. "Walk over to that tree.' 44I walked over and found such a rise of temperature that I was mopping my brow inside of five minutes. He noticed it and said: " 'I think I got stuck in buying this place. The seller warranted sixteen sorts of temperature within a mile of the house, but I can't make out only eleven.'" Innovation Promised. "I am a little weary of these conventional stage villains," said the habitual theater goer. "So am I," answered the actor earnestly. "The next time I play the part of a villain I shall make a radical departure. I shall not smoke a cigarette." ?Washington Star. The ^fewest Compliment. * He?You are worth your weight in gold. dear.

Be sure and use that old and well kried remedy, Mrs. Winsiow's Soothing Syrup for children teething. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic and is the - best remedy for diarrhoea. Twenty-five cents a bottle. It is the best of all.

Many a man looks VJ31I on at his wife's suffering willing to do anything +r> m'd V>r>r am; to do j nothing. Sometimes, however, the husband's attention is directed to j Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and its remarkable cures of womanly dis- ; eases. He may not have much hope of i a cure, but he is led to try the medicine, with the result that in almost every case ; there is a perfect and permanent cure. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures irregularity. It dries the drains which 1 weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. j As a tonic for women who are nervous, j sleepless, worn-out and run-down "Fa- , vori'te Prescription" is unequaled. ?In answer to your letter I will say, ray wife commenced to complain twenty years "ago," ' writes Lewis A. Miller, ex-Chief-of-Police. of 33 j Prospect St., Weissport, Pa. "We have tried the j skill of twelve different doctors. She took gal- j Ions of medicine during the time she was ill, I until I wrote to you and you told us what to do. She has taken eight bottles of Dr. Pierce's Fa- ] vorite Prescription and six of the ' Golden Med- ' ical Discovery.' She can do her own work nov and can walk around again and is quite smart." " Favorite Prescription " has the testi- j mony of thousands of women to its com- ; plete cure of womanly diseases. Do not accept an unknown and unproved sub- j stitute in its place. ? TVI a.

Wc's all got ft feeiin' dat we don't want to say anything ag'in a dead j man, but we also find ourselves wishin' j dat sartin persons could return to de flesh fur about fifteen minits an' gin u ; a show to talk. If de mewl didn't kick back now an' den, folks would in time size him up fur a cow or a boss an' put him in a iuise pusisiiuu. Nuffin succeeds like success, an' dat's de reason I hev a sneakin' admirasbun , fur a man who has sot on de fence all J summer an' won a medal as de laziest man in town. We should bring- up our chillen in de j way dey should go, but most of us i bring 'em up in de way we want our selves. i It's all in de way you look at things, i I'ze heard prayers dat de Lord might j send rain to save de craps, an' I'ze I heard prayers dat ho might induce a j man to leave his chicken coop wide ' open on a dark night. I ain't sayin' dat money lias any influence wid religun, but I'ze alius no- ! ticed dat Deacon Davis' "aniens" hev a ieetle mo' heart in 'em when de pew rents am all paid up. While I is cheerfully willin' to advise my feller men to marry fur luv an' j leave de money question out, candor compels me to state dat Mrs. Gardner had fo' acres of land an' a cow when I j first felt dat 1 could not lib wldout her. j M. QUAD. I take great pleasure in giving the ! very highest testimonial to Dr. Baker's Blood snd Liver Cure. I used it in 1895 Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was severely afflicted with the disease and tried my family j physician, in addition to various remedies, without effect. I procured some of the above medicine, and be- j fore using a bottle of it I could walk j without my crutches, and by the S time I had used a bottle and a half, I felt entirely well, and have not i suffered any since. I cheerfully re- j commend it, and believe it will do all its propietors claim for it. Respectfully, E. O. Mastin, Deputy Collector of WilkeR County, N. C., Feb. 22, 1898.

[Copyright, 1002, by C. I>. Lev/is.] EKE is a ease." began Mr. I Bowser the other evening as j Jib be laid aside liis newspaper j ?"here is a ease where a ! woman in Chicago lost-her life h.v be- j coming confused on the street and be- j ing struck by a carriage. Forty-nine I cut of every fifty accidents occur j through people losing their heads at a critical moment. You liave been very lucky thus far in escaping accidents, but I feel it my duty nevertheless to ! advise with you. Tt is through no fault j of your own that you haven't been ; smashed tip a dozen times over." "Why should I be smashed up?" ask- j ed Mrs. Bowser as she looked up from j her book. "Because fan are a woman and be-1 cause a woman loses her nerve the in- j "a great big loafer on a biee struck : ivie." I stant she is menaced by a danger. It j wouldn't have surprised me any day i in the last ten years to have heard that you were run over 011 the street. You are just careless enough to walk in front of a trolley car." ' How about your being careless enough to walk in front of a butcher cart ?" she asked. "i never cna 11. ine cart turueu a i corner on inc." ' But you stepped off a car and was j hit by a peddler's wagon." "Never! I was crowded off a car, but the accident was no fault of mine." "Didn't 3'ou run for a car to be knocked down by a bicycle?" "Never! I was sauntering toward a car when a great big loafer 0:1 a bike wabbled around and struck out. Never have I had ail accident through my i own fault, while my coolness and calmness have prevented hundreds through j HE RUSHED DOWXST the fault of others. If I wont blundering up and down as you do, trusting to bullhead luck, I'd be killed inside of a week. When you take a car, do you ever think that a runaway team may jump over the front dashboard'/" "I don't think I ever do," she admitted. "Just like a woman, and yet such a thing is quite likely to happen and to cause the death of six or eight people in the front end of the car. Never sit in the front end of a car?never. Suppose you were walking along and the cry of 'Mad dog" was ra'ised, what would you do?" "1 should probably loot around ior the dog." "Not a doubt of it. and thereby fall a victim to the brute. Should you ever hear that cry, you must dash for the nearest doorway at once. Bear this in ! mind whenever you are out, so as not to be taken by surprise. There is such a thing as the machinery of a trolley car becoming disabled and the car running away. In such a case, wore you a passenger, what would you do':"' "I'd call for the police." ' Very likely, and then run cut and jump off and break your neck. The j sensible way would be to shut your; teeth, brace your feet and g; t a good, grip with your hands, and if the car uasiietl liny uuyiuuj^ ,>ut; i'fc.ij'c j;j* i jury. When you are i?:issin^r along the ! walk. docs it over occur to you that j bnildimrs frfu]uont!y collapse and kill j baif a dozen or more pedestrians'.'" "I don't believe it docs." "Of course not. It never does to any i woman. She goes blundering along as I if she was as safe as a dollar in a deposit \ault. Always have one eye on ' the buildings, Mrs. Bowser, and at the first signal of danger leap for the middle of the street.'' "But you were passing a building a few weeks ago and a brickbat fell down on your head." she protested. "Why didn't you leap for the middle of the street V" "Beenuse in my coolness I observed that it was only the fall of a single brick instead of a general collapse," he lamely replied. "Then a single brick is nothing?" "Don't take lhat tone with me. woman! I am trying to beat a little sense into your head, and you ought to set- it. Smci'iid vim were in a theater when ? the cry of tiro was raised-there without me. What would you do?" "I'd ask the person next to ;nc where the lire was." "Certainly you would, and you'd want to know when his or her grandfather died, whether he or she had ever had measles or whooping cough, whether the tire was on the stage or in some factory a mile away, and I'd he lucky to recover your charred bones. Yes. you'd be sure to fool around for ten or lifteen minutes instead of calmly rising up at the first alarm and coolly walking out. By George, but what an idiot a woman is!" "I'm sorry." said Mrs. Bowser in eontrite tones as Mr. Bowser got up and ?i wnllr tW (i H ?.*??. "Wo will suppose a few cases nearer home," lie finally continued as ho glared at the cat and foil into his chair. "You are sitting here alone, and you hear a sudden fall downstairs. You run down and find the cook senseless on the floor, with her eyes rolled back and all her limbs rigid. What do you do?" "I telephone for the doctor." "Yes; you monkey with the telephone for a quarter of an hour to find that the doctor is out, and when you return to the kitchen the soul of the cook lias passed away. Had you placed the dishpan under her head and dashed water into her face she would have been up and at work in ten minutes." Mr. Bowser had a good deal more to say about coolness and calmness and presence of mind, and Mrs. Bowser had had the tact to let him do his boasting undisputed, and when bedtime came he was so well pleased with himself that he admitted she might almost cross the street without being knocked down by a car cr blown up by dynamite. He didn't see the cat wink at herself or ho might have suspected that a stone was being prepared for him to stub his toe against. He had been asleep for an hour, and the only noise to disturb the night were the ycowls of a cat in the back yard looking for a scrap, when Mrs. Bowser shook him by the shoulder and softly said: "I am not in the least excited, and of course you won't be, but I thought it host to tell you that I smell smoke." "By thunder, so do I!" he exclaimed as lie sat up in bed and sniffed and snuffed. "We will be calm?very calm," she continued. "It may be that the whr'e wmpghta??WBW!*? AIR? YELLING "FIRE!" lower part of the house is on fire, but if so"? "Of course it is!" he yelled as he leaped out of Dea ana maue iranuc eiforts to pull on liis trousers. "Run to the window and shout police and lire!" "Be calm, Mr. Bowser?be calm. Where do you think the lire caught?" "Good lands, woman! Fire! Fire! Fire! We shall be burned alive! Dash out the glass and yell for your life!" "But we must not lose our presence of mind." He did, however. He rushed downstairs yelling "Fire!" and he rushed out doors yelling "Police!" and it was not until three or four belated pedestrians had entered the house with him that he calmed down. When he finally faced Mrs. Bowser, her look was innocence itself, and nothing could be more artless than her suggestion: "The cook must have put a lot of paper in the kitchen range." ' Y-e-s," replied Mr. Bowser as he glared and gritted his teeth and mentally resolved that he would get even it it took a thousand years. M. QUAD. A Wife.
