CHARLESTON MAN
PRAISES FERROLAX
CONKLIN SAYS HE FEELS LIKE
A NEW MAN SINCE TAKING
NEW DISCOVERY
"I tried a long time to find some-1
thing that would relieve me of my |
troubles, but I never had any success j
until 1 commenced taking Ferrolax," j
said R. F. Conklinwho lives at No. 17 j
Tradd St., Charleston, S. C.. while'
t5?lHncr tr% a Ferrolax 1-eDiesentative !
there a few days ago.
"I was ih a badly run dowr. condition,"
continued Mr. Conklin, "and
felt so tired and sluggish all the time
that I never felt like doing my work.
All my energy and strength seemed
to leave me and I suffered from pains
all through my back nearly all the j
time. I took many different kinds of
medicine and treatments, but instead
of getting better, I gradually got
weaker all the time.
"I had heard so much about the i
good Ferrolax was doing so many j
people that I decided to buy a bottle j
and see if it would help me. Well,;
sir, I never saw anything to equal:
the way this medicine just got in after
my troubles. It just seemed to;
take hold right from the very start'
and now I feel like a new mah out
and out. I am buying another bottle;
of Ferrolax today and I never expect
to be without it. I am more than glad ,
to recommend Ferrolax to everybody j
for I honestly believe that it is the
best medicine on earth."

No Two Are Alike
It is a scientific fact that no two
persons in the world are alike. Stop
for a moment and think and one will.
realize that this is true. Take any
one of your friends and you will (
easily recall that while two have one
or more points of similarity there are
a dozen different features in which
they do pot agree at all. Who ever
heard of twins that were alike in
everything? They may look the same j
in a general way, but they are not;!
there will be one or more character-,
istics that will absolutely lnciemiiyj
one from the other.
Getting down to actual facts no t
two sides of a person are alike; the j
left is different from the right. The I
right hand is larger than the left,
but the left foot is nearly always
larger than the right. A person's I
right arm is longer, heavier, and
larger than the left, possibly because
it is the working arm of the body,,
while the law of opposites decrees j
that the left leg shall be slightly j
larger than the right. Again, one j
ear is always larger than the other ]
or one shoulder is higher than its
companion, and so it goes on down j
the line.

"Unci* Jos" Cannon's Withsrlnf Hs- I
buke of Lobbyist Who Thought (
to Make "Bluff" Good. ^
Joseph Guernsey Cannon, more af- 1
fectlonately known throughout the j
length anil breadth of the land as g
"Uncle Joe," is nearing his eighty- =
fourth birthday. He loves his fellow- |
man and is one of the most affable j
members of congress toward stran- g
gers. But Uncle Joe bates "bounders"
and lobbyists and is still young f
and vigorous enough to resent their j
attempts at familiarity, says the Wash- |
ington Star.
For the benefit of a couple of men |
with legislative axes to grifld whom |
he was endeavoring to impress with f
his own importance around iheeapitol, g
one of the well-known lobbyists held i
up "Uncle Joe" near the cigar coun- |
ter in the house restaurant. "Hello, f
Uncle Joe!" he exclaimed. "Haven't g
seen you for some days. You sure are P
looking fine. Won't yon have a cigar !
with us?one of your old favorites?" S
Then the cold, steady, steely look in g
Uncle Joe's eyes gave him a warning. I
He tried to bluff it off. 3
"Why, Uncle Joe, you don't eeem to I
remember me." j
But he reckoned without his host? j
you just can't bluff Uncle Joe. He has
played the great American Indoor J
game too long for that. With shoul-' j
ders thrown back, arms stiffened at j
his side, eyes piercing the presuming t
acquaintance, he raised himself oa his f
toes, leaning closer and dariagly to- I
ward the face of the other, tad said: |
"No, I doa't remmiber you. Why. if 1

don't look more familiar to St. Peter j
than you do now to me, he'll say to ^

Pursuit Long a Favorite Amusement j
of the Admirers of Writer of
Immortal Fiction.
One of the most interesting of semiliterary
hobbies Is the search after
the orlginiof "Dickens names." It Is
specially interesting, no doubt, because
nobody can prove to demonstration
that his particular "solution" is the
correct one, and. as a consequence,
the long list of potential discoveries
is seldom reduced, much less exhausted.
One of the latest "strikes" Is a
possible origin for the old favorite,
"Chadband." A recent writer tells how,
a few years ago, in one of the small
hamlets ' between Sutton and Epsom,
there stood a small tailor's shop bearing
in large letters the name of "Chadband."
And he goes on to wonder
whether Dickens, "going down by road
Dorking, noticed the name, and kept
it for future use," for on that route
he would have passed the very door
of the shoo. The writer seems to think
it highly likely; while, in proof that I
Dickens actually made the Journey, |
was it not in the town of Dorking |
that there stood the Marquis of Gran- |
by? And was it not the hostess of *
the Marquis of Granby who ultimate- _
ly became Mrs. Weller??Christian

Beauty in Seaweed.
Contemplating seaweed, the curator
of this department in the New York
botanical gardens has made a suggestion,
timely with regard to the
present exhibition of specimens In the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, that here
may be found many a charming suggestion,
hitherto unnoticed by artists,
Tor the creation of decorative designs.
One is reminded of the passage in
which Ruskin tells how the Greek
architect found a beautiful design in
the movement of ocean waves; and
wonders that Ruskin himself, with his
keen appreciation of art suggestions
In nature, did not deal with the varied
beauty of design discoverable In the
different seaweeds. Perhaps he did,
and one has forgotten it; at any rate
seaweed has not, it seems, yet supplied
suggestion for the design of lace,
tapestries, prints, and architectural
ornament, and the Idea adds material
for the work of designers.
Mortgage on a Cat.
There was tiled in the ofllce of the
recorder of deeds in Stockton, Mo., the
most unusual chattel mortgage ever I
presented at the office. The articles _
mentioned to secure a deht of $46
were as follows: One shotgun, one
Winchester rifle, two violins, one Mack *
tomcat with white feet, named Tom. |
It was not specified that the guns had
hammers nor the fiddle with bow, but
the Identification of the tomcat was
considered by the mortgagee the most j
valuable part of the security.?St. j
