Shattered Nerves
and Weak Heart.
Too Nervous to Sleep
or R.est.
Dr.Miles'Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
A shattered nervous system nearly always
leads to some affection of the heart, especially
where the patient's heart is weak from
hereditary or other causes. Dr. Miles' Heart

it is a blood tonic which speedily corrects
and regulates the heart's action, enriches the
blood and improves the circulation. It will
build you up just as it did Mr. Crawford
who-e letter follows, and greatly improve
your general health:
"I have been so greatly benefited by Dr.
Miles'Nervine and ileart Cure that I freely
recommend them as the best remedies for
the diseases they are recommended to cure.
When I began taking these medicines I
weighed scarcely 140 pounds, my nerves
were badly shattered ana my heart troubled
me a great deal. I had pain in my left arm
and shoulder, had difficulty in sleeping on
mv left side, had frequent smothering spells
and my heart would flutter and palpitate.
I could eat scarcely any kind of food without
suffering great distress, and was so restless
and nervous that I slept little night or day.
Now I am never bothered with my heart,
my nerves are steady as a die, 1 sleep well,
eat well and weigh 163 pounds. I am happy
now and am trying to make back the money
I spent for doctors who did rue no good
while I was ill."?T. R. Crawford, Center,

Hy Elliott Fowler in February McOlure's.
Abuer Calkins was resting. In
order to rest properly it was
necessary that Aoner should have
his feet elevated to approximately
the sAme height as his head, so
he had carefully placed them on
the raihug in the City Clerk's
office. The City Clerk was an
old trieud, and so was the railing.
Whenever Abner came to town
to make purchases or to dispose
of the produce of his farm, he invariably
called on the City Clerk
and made temporary use of the
railing.
On this occasion the City Clerk
was deeply interested in an old
typewriter. lie inserted a sheet
of paper, and then hit ail the
keys oue after another, begin
ning at the upper left-hand corner
and ending at the lower right
hand corner.
"I don't see what's the matter
with that machine," he paid at
last. "It's rather o'd and some
of the letters are worn, but it
works all right."
"Is it yourn?" asked Abner
casually.
"No; it belongs to the city,"
answered the City 'lerk. "It has
been discarded by one of the de
partmentB and I'm the custodian."
??TU? L _ OH J *
ui? wuuu uemanueu ADnor.
"The custodian," explained the
City Clerk. 4,I have charge of it.
I have charge of all the supplies
and in fact of all property that
isn't in use, but I'm blesaed if 1
know what to do with this.
They're getting mighty particular
when they discard so good a machine."
Abner puffed at his corncob
pipe meditatively for a few minutes.
"Liz is dead set to have one o'
them things," he remarked at
last. "Never saw such a girl in
rny life?thinks she's going to be
a story writer an' says nothin's
no good only when it's writ on a
tvpe-write machine. If they
clKln't cost so blame much I'd git
her one."
"Why don't you buy this one?"
asked the City Clerk. "It's go
ius; 10 trie Btoro room and it's no
use there."
"How muchb" said Abner, with
the terseness that characterized
him when the question was one
of dollars and cents.
"Oh. I guess you could ha*7* 't
for ten dollars," replied the City
Olerk.
Abner Calkins took his feet
from the railing and let the front
egs of his chair come down with
? thump, as he reached for his
pocket book.
"I'll take it," he announced,
unwinding the string that encir
cled the pocket book and producing
a ten dollar bill.
"Oh, 1 can't sell it," explained
the City Clerk. I'm merely ex
officio custodian?
"Ex what?"
"Ex officio. I mean that's one
the duties of my position is to
take care of all such things, and
they can only leave my possession
on the written order of the Mayor
or the City Treasurer. You pay
ten dollars to Hark ley, the Tress
urer, and get an order from him.
We have to do these things by
system in a municipality, you
know."
"Nnw. lonk-a hprp. Sum Skin-.
ner," protested Abner; "I ain't
city bred an' I'm glad I ain't, an'
don't you go springin' them
words on me an' ma kin' fun o'
me. I reckon I'm smart enough
to learn city wajs if I wanted
to."
"Of course you are," admitted
the City Clerk conciliatorily.
"I'm only explaining how you
will have to go about it to get the
machine."
Somewhat mollified, Abner departed
to hunt up the City Treas
urer, but, unfortunately, there
was some delay in reaching him.
When he was found, however, the
business was quickly transacted.
"Ten dollars for a discarded
type-writer in the store-room,"
repeated the City Treasurer.
"Why, sure. The city's so hard
up and there are so many outstanding
bills and judgments that
I'm almost ready to turn the office
into cash. Give the money
to the cashier and I'll wrice you
an order for the machine."
Armed with the order Abner
returned, only to find t)ie City
Clerk absen* The machine was
there but it could not be touched
until the order hud received the
"O. K." of the City Clerk, and ,
that official had not appeared
when the lateness of the hour
necessitated a departure for the
farm
"It's mighty annoying," commented
Abner to himself; "but I
reckon 1 can git it the next time
I come to town. Knowed Sam
ever since his father had the next
farm to mine, 'fore he come to
town, an' it's safe with him till
tomorry or the day after."
Abner's daughter, Lizzie, was
delighted when she heard of the
purchase. She was sure that the
road to literary fame was uow
open to her, for she was in possession
of several stories that she
knew had been returned because
they were not type-written. In
fact, she was so enthusiastic that
she insisted upon accompanying
Ahner when he went after the
machine, and she was very much
distressed because three days
passed before he felt that he had
leisure to make the trip. Finally
however, they invaded the City
Clerk's office together.
"Kemember Liz, don't ye,
Sam?" asked Abner, by way of
preface. "Used to play with her
when you was a boy *n' lived out
near us."
Tiie City Clerk threw away his
cigar and hastily rose from his
chnir, for Lizzie was an attractive
young woman. He had not
seau her for several years, and
girls blossom into young women
very quickly.
"Come for that there typewrite
machine," Abner went on,
"an' Liz is so crazy 'bout it she
had to come too."
Thereupon Abner handed the
order to the City Clerk, who took
it mechanically and read it
through twice while he was getting
his wits together; for the
City Clerk was in a quandary.
??YA/u.. u.. ?i? t?? i.1?

machine isn't here now," he explained
at last.
"Ain't here!" ejaculated Abner.
"Where in tarnation is it?
I paid my ten dollars for it."
"Of course," said the City
Clerk soothingly, "and no doubt

ft
we can straighten the matter out t
all right. But you didn't come i
back for it, you know, and the
next day the Mayor sent down an t
order for it, and a clerk in the j
Water office has it now."
"But I've got an order for it,"
asserted Abner belligerently.
"Quite right," acquiesced the 1
City Clerk; "but this lsu't the
place to present the order now. j
I can't give you what isn't in my c
possession. You take the order )
to Mr. Winkler at the Water
Office and tell him you want the <
machine."
"Come on, Liz," said Abner de- (
terminedly. "1 bet. ye 1 get that i
mere machine or I'll bust thiugs *
wide open."
Lizzie, doubtful and disap- e
pointed, dutifully followed her
aggressive father to the Water t
Office, where Mr. Winkler Sol- t
eninly read the order through. t
"This doesn't interest me," announced
the latter. "It's ad- .
dressed to the City Clerk." .
"But the City Clerk hain't got ^
the niachiue," protested Abner
hotly.
"1 can't help that," said Mr
Winkler. "In a municipality ,
things have to be done according
to system. The machine is here I
by order of the Mayor. You'd '
better see him."
"Well, by gum! I'm goin' to
have that machine!" proclaimed
Abner. "Now you jest watch
me ! Come on, Liz."
The girl's mouth twitched onn- |
nously as she followed ; she was
not far from tears.
The Mayor gave the subject a
few minutes of thoughtful con '
sideration before replying to Ab I
ner's demand. '
"Neither the City Treasurer t
nor the City Clerk had any rieht 1
to Fell that machine," he* said at t
last. "No one has any right to c,
sell city property for which the '
city has any use, and thiB type t
writer was sent to the store room ,
by mistake. It is serviceable and {
is needed in the Water Office."
'But it's mine!'' broke in Abner
wrathfully. .
"Not at all," answered the
Moyor. "You simply show your r
ignorance of civic methods of doing
business. It's all an elabo- <
rate system, you know."
"System be dinged!" roared
Abner. "Every tarnation critter ,
talks about system while he's
beating me out o' my typewriter
machine an' my ten dollars. It's I
a swindle; that's what your sys- 5
tern is 1" i
"Be a little careful, Mr. Cal *
kins," cautioned the Mayor with 1
dignity. "Neither the city nor *
its officials are in the swindling 1
business, and you would not be 1
in this predicament if you were
not ignorant of the ordinary
routine."
"I'm learnin'," retorted Abner,
"an' I'm paying for the eddieation."
"The best thing for you to do,"
continued the Mayor kindly, "is to i
go he to City Trea^rer and get '
your money back. While there (
is use tor the machine, I Certain <
ly can't let it go for ten dollars."
"Come on, Liz," said Abner,
his determination and energy in
no measure diminished. "Dang
?i.,. i.;..~ ?.> . imi .
i nc7 111 nK-11111rry nuyvrny y a n ?^11
the money."
"But, my dear Mr. Calkins, I '
haven't your ten dollars," said
the City Treasurer.
"1 give it to that cashier o'
youm," asserted Abner. "You
tell him to give it back to me."
"He hasn't it now, either. It
has been entered on the books |
and belongs to the city."
"It belongs to me," insisted 1
Abner.
"Ethically it does, but practi
cally it is a part of the city tunds
at this moment, and can only be ,
secured by the regular system."
"System be swiggled I" cried
Abner wrathfully. "I want my
ten dollars." i
"Naturally," answered tho City i
Treasurer. "I quite appreciate ]
your feeling, and I was about to <
say that I'll give you a voucher <
for it." (
"Now, you're talkin'business," I

"That's very simple," explain)d
the City Treasurer. "All yon
lave to do is to present it to the
vhief Clerk to be recorded, and

vill be paid."
"Has the money I" repeated

"There hain't nobody got, any

"You don't understand the
