A red-nosed man was making his way up
i Alabama street, Atlanta, Tuesday, heading

affectionately following after him.

"That's a smart dog."

I down, through all sorts of weat her, just like
, he's following him now. If that fellow over

A Wood Bargain.
A schoolboy defined strong drink as
"the stuff that causes the most human
happiness?by lettia' it alone." Here
Patrick seems to give credit to the rumseller
by a similar back-handed process
of reasoning:
At a temperance meeting where
several related their experiences, a
humorous Irishman was acknowledged
to be the chief speaker. He hod on a
pair of fine new boots. Haid he, "A
w ek after I signed the j 1 dge I met an
old friend; and he says, 'Them's a fine^
j^^^boot^Sunar^on7^Tw|Pliirvlys
I, 'and by tho same token 'twas
le saloon-keeper who gave them to
ie.'
" 'That was generous of him, says
o.
" 'It w as,' i-ays I, 'but I made a burain
with him. He w as to keep his
rink and I was to keep my money.

The bull-dog is not an animal to be <
admired, yet he possesses one trait that i
at least entitles him to our respect,
llis tenacity of purpose is proverbial.
It makes him A formidable adversary.
A like trait has often enabled man to
overcome great obstacles and win victory
under the most trying circumstances.
In fact, it is only by tenacity
of purpose, and indomitable will-power,
that many of life's battles arc brought
to a successful termination.
Disease, like man's more material
enemies, is often an obstinate adversary,
and it is only by the most dci
terrained persistency in the use of the
I best remedy that victory is attained
i over it. While Dr. Pierce's Golden Mcd'
leal Discovery is guaranteed to benefit
| or cure in all diseases for which it is
' recommended, yet in ailments of long
standing, which are usually alike slow
in their inception and progress, the euro
