I Story of Courier's Experiences In tH
Crimean War. ^ "

for a short time. He was sent north
^ to Mi scow with dispatches for the
czar. Such a journey as he had:
There were no railroads, and he
drove and rode all the way, night
and day, at full speed, for the dispatches
were urgent. He slept riding
and he 6lept driving. He became
so exhausted he could sleep
anywhere. Once he awoke and re
covered himself jijst as be was fall''

going ahead at full speed, so that he
would pever b&ve been missed and
would have doon frozen to death in
. $he road. At last, after a terrible
journey, he reached Moscow and
the palace and was taken at once
to the czar. He saluted, handed
him the ditpatches and immediately
lurched back against the wall and
fell asleep standing!
"Presently the czar turned to
him to ask him a question and saw
that he was asleep. It was a mon trous
offense, but Nicholas was not
>? , apgry. He spoke kindly to my
*grandfather first; then loudly and
ahfcrply. He touched him. He shook
him, my grandfather did not wake.
t*he czar reflected a moment, then
he leaned close and shouted at his
ear, Tour honor, the horses are
ready!'
"My grandfather waked and
sprang upright in an instant it
wis the one call he would hare
heard-?that he had been hearing
for eight days. He was abashed
and alarmed when he realized that
he had indeed 6lept in the imperial
preeerce, an unheard of affront to
majesty, but the czar only laughed
and bade him go home and rest. He
thanked him an<f 6tarted'to go, but
he moved so stumblingly, for hie
eves were already beginning to
close, that he walked into a door
frame. An escort was sent to 6ee
him to his lodgings and put him to
bed. Once there he slept the clock
round, waked long enough to breakfast,
and slept it round again. 'Never
again till I fall into the sleep
from which you do not wake at all,J
he used to say, 'shall I know what
it is to sleep as soundly as you

A Useful Woman.
"Blennerhassett," said Mrs. Bliggins
as he was about to Etart downtown,
"can you let me have a little
money to run the house with today?^
"Yoa can have just 50 cents," he
growled, flinging' the coin at her
and slamming the door behind him
?as he went out
fBy the way, Bliggins," said a
friend who dropped into his place
of business an hour or two later,
"will you go my security on a note
for $500?"
"Shortleigh," replied Bliggins, "i1
is an inflexible rule in my family
that I must never do anything o 1
that kind without consulting my
wife."?Chicago Tribune.
Gonads Was Bought Chsap.
The island of Grenada, in the
British West Indies, was bought by
the French from the Caribs by a
solemn treaty in the middle of the
seventeenth century, and the price

mess of pottage was a good stroke
of business by comparison. The
Caribe soon regretted having sold
their birthright and vainly tried to
get the island back by force. It is
now one of England's most prosperous
colonies in the West Indies.
Tii? Adoration of tho Wig.
Wigs were never so popular as in
the reign of Charles II. The author
of "The Beaux and the Dandies"
tells uh that "when Cibber played
Sir Fopling Flutter his wig was 60
much admired that he had it carlied
to the footlights every evening
in a sedan chair, from which it was
handed to him that he might put it
on his head."
A Matter of Buainosa.
"I cannot understand, 6ir, why
yon permit your daughter to sue
me for breach of promise. You remember
that you were bitterly opposed
10 our engagement because
I wasn't good enough for her and
would disgrace the family."
"Young man, that was sentiment;
this is business."
A True Gift.
Words, money, all things else, are
comparatively easy to give away, but
when ? man makes a gift of his
daily life and practice it is plain
" jpathat the truth, whatever it may be,
has taken possession of him.?Lowell.

Patent Medicine Frauds.
? * i.L.i
It is gratitymg to Know uim
Southern Legislators and Governors
are beginning to take increasing interest
in the patent medicine evil.
Wisely enough does the State saj
that in order to practice in person,
a man must show good charactei
and must attend a medical college
for a certain number of years, and
must pass a specified examination at
proof of his ability. And yet the
same State turns right round and
allows any man to advertise cure-all
patent medicines without proof of
character, without college or hospital
training and without any examination
whatever to show that he
knows or cares anything about medical
science! There is nothing at all
to prevent a negro just off the chaingang
from fixing up a so-called
medicine, advertising any sort of
claims about it and selling it to ignorant
people the same as if it were
the product of the most famous
medical expert of the century. Here
is a good chance for some legisla
tioa, and we hope it is coming in all

TOO FREELY, SHE SAYS
Mr; Keller Declares She Feels Bc'Hr
Than In Year:;.
GAINED TWENTY POUNDS
After Eight Years of Suffering,
Greenville Woman Says Tanlac
Soon Banished Troubles
"I improved in every way right
from the start after I began taking
Tanlac and I gained in weight from
one hundred and seventeen pounds
to one hundred and thirty-seven
pounds?a gain of twenty pounds,
and I soon was in such good health,
so far as my etouiach was concerned,
i that l coma eat ana enjoy anytning
' I wanted and digest it properly, too, ^
ieven if I had suffered about fight
,years with stomach trouble." J
! The remarkable results given Mrs <
! Annie Keller, of 116 Murphy St, l
! Greenville, by Tanlac were described *
' in her highly interesting statement, ^
; of which the above paragraph is a ?
part. Continuing, Mrs Keller said:
"I suffered from indigestion and
stomach trouble particularly, which |
I had" had for maybe six or eight
years, anyway, it was a long time, :
and 1 failed to find any medicine
that would break up the trouble. 1
I suffered a great deal with pains in ,
my stomach ami chest after meals,
and also had a burning sensation,and
gas on my stomach also troubled me ,
a lot. !
4,I had headaches so badly that I
could hardly endure them at times,
and my nerves were on edge. My ap- ?
petite had left me and I did not eat
enough hardly to keep one alive,and
I had to be very careful with what I
ate. Then I began taking Tanlac,
because I had heard so much about
the good it was doing others in Green ville.
The Tanlac made me better
almost from the start and I improved
rapidly in every way. I gained
from 117 to 187 pounds, a gain of
20 pounds, and the Tanlac gave me 1
a grand appetite and I soon was- *
eating everything I wanted. The
headaches were broken up, and my
nerves strengthened.
"My strength was increased and
I soon was feeling fine and like a
different person. Tanlac is a good
medicine, the best I ever took, and I
cannot praise it too much or endorse j
it too strongly for troubles like I had. t
I first took Tanlac about a year ago, e
taking about two bottles. I shall al- c
ways take Tanlac when I have trou- ?
bles that Tanlac is good for. 5
"I am always glad to praise Tan- c
lac, too, for it is the grandest medi- a
cine I ever took, and I feel stronger j
and in letter health than I have been j
in years, and I am a number of
pounds heavier in weight. It is far ?
and away the best medicine I ever t
took for my troubles." 4
