"I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
celved from the use of Thedford's Black-Draught," fes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
"It certainly has no equal for la grippe, ad colds,
liver and stomach 'trouble I firmly believe ack-Draughtf
saved my little girl's life When she h the measles,
they went in on her, bu one good se of Thedford's
Black-Draught made them break out, d she has had no
more trouble. I shall nev r be wit t
THE 1105'
BLAC'K RAUGHI
in my home." For constipation, Indigestion, headache, dizzi-.
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
aillnents, Thedford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, *
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black- 5
Draught. It is a medicine of known merit. Seventy-five 0
years of splendid success proves its value. Good for
young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.

ORIGIN OF "BUNCOMBE."
How a Colonel's Name Came to Be a
Term of Reproach.
Whenever I pick up a copy of the
Congressional Itecord and numerous
other pliblications and read the irrele
vant speeches therein reported I sigh
.for the memory of Colonel Edward
Buncombe, "Girard" writes In the Phil.
adelphla Ledger.
Through no fault of the gallant gen
tleman himself, there clings to his name
an unpleasant significance which many
of our brave public men do naught to
mitigate. Indeed, if there be such a
thing as one shade's taking vengeance
upon another in the future world Colo
nel Buncombe will at least pull out
Felix Walker's tongue.
It was all Walker's fault that "bun
combe" became a term of reproach,
and the Incident which made it so hap
penied i century ago.
Walker represented in congress a dis
trict of North Carolina of which Bun
combe county was a part. The county
had been named away back in 1791 lin
I honor of Colonel Buncombe.
Walker - was one of those long din
tance orators who without half trying
could empty the ha1ls of congaess and
put them in a condition beshde whIleh
the (lead streets of l'ompoll appear
great white ways. When upbralded one
day for talking about everyl hig ex
cept tho question at Issue Walker used
this immortal phrase:
"I nan only talking for Buncombe,"
mneanaing lhis holme colty.
And 8o "bitileiominhe" becaein a new
word lit ourki lanlguage. which has beent
conveniently shortened Into ithe collo

The Czar's Rebuke to the Officers of

cers of his regiment were furious at
what they called an instilt to the uni.
form, and they told the lieutenant that
he must send in his papers. Tilte un
fortunate young officer had no alter.
native, but before he could do so the
czar heard of the affair. Immediate
ly putting on his colonel's uniform of
the regiment in question, his miajesty
left the palace, halled a passing train
and, entering It, sat calmly downI until
It stopped in front of the barrakel.
There he got out and, assembling all
the officers, said to them:
"Gentlemen, I have Jtst ridden from
the palace in a tram, and I de.ire to
know if you wish ie to send in 1my3'
papers. I presunie I have dIsgraced
my uniform."
Naturally the officers were duim.
