THE SONG OF THE DRUMS. We are naught but a little brass kettle, With a tight little cover at top, Just a circle of sheepskin and metal And a pair of quick drumsticks a hop, And we make quite the poorest of music, Just a rhythmic rattle and hum, Yours never a stave In the heart of the brave But resounds to the beat of the drum. There’s a witchcraft concealed in our hollow, There’s a mystery hid in our round, For we beat, and men cannot but follow, Keeping time with their feet on the ground, With a dream and a glamour of glory Like a wave of the ocean it comes, As we sing and we say: “Come away! Come away! Follow me! Follow me!” say the drums. We tap, and we hum, and we mutter; We throb to the scream of the life, And at every note that we utter The scarlet blood leaps into life. We roll, and we crash, and we thunder, Like the roar ere the avalanche comes, And there’s many a lad, So gallant and glad, Who’s been caught by the song of the drums. When we rattle a lively chorus To the long shining column a-wind, With the cavalry waltzing before us And the foot doing two step behind, As we pass through the streets of the city Not a heart to our music but thruma, And for all the long way Not a horse in a dray But will dance to the time of the drums. When the guns are unlimbered for action And the men for the slaughter a-chafe, Yet the hell must attend for a fraction Till the drummers are stowed away safe; Though the ranks may be reeling and broken When the charge like a thunderclap comes, Though the roads may be red And the officers dead. You can run to the tune of the drums. —Bertrand Shadwell in Chicago Record. Tio Pepe’s Floating Garden. With It Vanished the Miser’s Last Hope of a Youthful Bride. BY G. CUNYNGHAM TERRY. Down close to the Viga was the empeno, or pawnshop, of Pepe Diaz, familiarly and contemptuously known thereabouts as “Tio Pepe,” or, as it would be in English, “Uncle Pete.” No one cared for the shrunken, dwarfish old fellow, and the custom that came to his musty, dark and ancient shop was mostly foreign. Not that Tio Pepe had father. In the patio were reposing the entire Gonzalez family—father, mother and pretty Paz. This latter, however, sat very close to none other than Juan, the boatman. One of her hands were clasped in his, and they were both endeavoring to smoke, with much mirth and an occasional sly kiss or so, the same cornhusk cigarette. From afar the father and mother of Paz beamed approval. For, poor though Juan might be, he was diligent and very serious. He would get ahead. And then, though “all the world may love a lover,” in Latin countries he is adored. Into this peaceful peon Eden came that elderly snake, Tio Pepe. And even while the young people were billing and cooling under his very eye this unregenerate old man proceeded to ask the girl’s hand in marriage, announcing that upon the day of the wedding he would present to the parents no less than 50 good, hard silver dollars. His proposal was at first politely turned down. Then, as Tio persisted in his blandishments, the father of Paz always poor and thirsty, began to waer. “But, my friend,” he temporized, “it is only today that we have consented to Juan, as you see. Figure to yourself their anguish if we should, with such brevity, make a ceasing to it. It is true that Juan is young—as young as our Paz—and has no money. But what care we?” To the tottering objections of Gonzalez Tio Pepe had many plausible answers and more silvery promises, after which there was the mother to tackle. Not by mere words was her consent won. Tio Pete was first forced to exhibit under secrecy of the house itself and over a bottle of red wine the precious little bankbook which he carried next his breast. Then, and not until then, did the mother of Paz countenance her daughter’s engagement to Tio, who, with many bland adioses to the smiling parents and a leer that convulsed poor unsuspecting Paz, now proceeded to take his departure. After which, the deluge! For, when Juan departed to pole a gringo down to Ixtacalco, Paz was made acquainted with her latest and most flattering proposal, which she received with furious tears, indignant and profane words as regarded the Tio and finally angry words and unwise ones as to the conduct of her parents themselves in thus being wound about the small finger of old Pete, whom evoked home intact and joyful with three sticks of dynamite and several yards of fuse concealed in them hold all, his manta blouse, and during the next few days he “lay low.” even going near the house of Paz, spending a great deal of time on canal below the floating gardens. “Old aunt of mine,” he stated in a long way, “is thinking of selling to me.” What are Humors? They are vitiated or morbid fluids counting the veins and affecting the tissue. They are commonly due to defective digestion but are sometimes inherited. How do they manifest themselves? In many forms of cutaneous eruptions salt rheum or eczema, pimples and boils and in weakness, languor, general debilitation. How are they expelled? By Hood’s Sarsaparilla which also builds up the system that has suffered from them. It is the best medicine for all humorous would be permitted to accompany Paz and her parents without delay to Pao Ignacio. Transfigured with joy and beaming like a young sun god. Juan embraced the old couple and departed, like immortal Sir Galahad, on his quest: “Not that the poor little one had much chance,” as Mamma Gonzalez sighed: “for there was nothing more difficult than to get money out of these stinky Americanos.” “True,” grunted papacito, on whispered emotion and red wine were beginning to tell. “We will wait. We will see.” Soon Enrique, the present guardian of Mr. Smith's dynamite deposit in Rio Hondo, was enchanted to receive a visit from his friend Juan, for it was lonely out at the dynamite magazine and he had no more pulque or cigrettes. In his capacious blouse he good Juan carried both. The two were bilbed several glasses of pulque, after which, smoking their cigarettes, they betook themselves to the vault to sell out some dynamite and fuse what Senor Esmeeth had ordered shipping next day. The shipment reached its destination several sticks and coils short, which made trouble for Mr. Smith and to the dismissal of Enrique, who freely left and with tears and lamentation protested his innocence. Juan, however, reached home intact and joyful with three sticks of dynamite and several yards of fuse concealed in them hold all, his manta blouse, and during the next few days he “lay low.” even going near the house of Paz, spending a great deal of time on canal below the floating gardens. “Old aunt of mine,” he stated in a long way, “is thinking of selling to me.” Down close to the Viga was the empeno, or pawnshop, of Pepe Diaz, familiarly and contemptuously known thereabouts as "Tio Pepe," or, as it would be in English, "Uncle Peter." No one cared for the shrunken, dwarfish old fellow, and the custom that came to his musty, dark and ancient shop was mostly foreign. Not that Tio Pepe had no really good and valuable things to offer; far from it. For 10 cents you could buy dingy, faded old samplers, worked in 1785 or thereabouts; old altar cloths stolen from heaven only knows where, old brasses, quaintly bound books in crabbed ancient Spanish and many other things too numerous to mention. So that during the tourist season Miser Pepe flourished and waxed exceedingly well off. As a matter of fact, the uncle was whispered to be worth at the very least $5,000, much of which of course had been made from the pawnshop. Most of Pepe's revenue, however, was derived from the cultivation of his "floating garden" farther down the Viga at Santa Anita. On this little square patch of ground, owned by his forefathers and himself since the days of Montezuma, old Pepe raised a hodge-podge assortment of cabbages, radishes, water cress and other toothsome vegetables for sale at the San Juan market, while along the borders of the garden flourished flowers of all sorts and conditions. Fragrant white tuberoses, gay red and yellow nasturtiums, brilliant, saucy scarlet popples; violets, white and purple, lifted their fragrant, modest faces to the sun, and sweet pens such as one never sees outside of that favored land overran the borders and clambered impudently over the cabbages and radishes themselves. Tio Pepe, crabbed old miser that he was, loved this little garden. Here you could find him when he was not on duty at the empeno weeding his flowers, cutting them reluctantly for the flower market and on plaza days packing carefully counted vegetables into the boat of old Vicente, who attended to their vending. Of late, to the amazement and mirth of onlookers, a minute bunch of forgetmenots was placed gingerly on top of Vicente's freight and the servitor commanded to carry it with great care to pretty Paz, daughter of old Gonzalez, at the Embarcadero. I regret to state that the pretty blue blossoms were invariably presented and accepted to the accompaniment of mithful roars, after which they adorned the purpish black braids of Paz's hair up to the hour at which she daily stole away to the water side to greet her lover, Juan, who always "happened" to pole his flat bottomed boat by at a certain time. Then the blue flowers would find their last resting place in the Viga waters, down which they would float until they perhaps reached their birthplace again. And a red poppy or some sweet peas may be would usurp their place with that coquette, Paz. For when Juan departed to pole a gringo down to Ixtacalco, Paz was made acquainted with her latest and most flattering proposal, which she received with furious tears, indignant and profane words as regarded the Tio and finally angry words and unwise ones as to the conduct of her parents themselves in thus being wound about the small finger of old Pete, whom every one well knew to be a liar, a miser and an old wretch utterly without shame. Now, in all this Paz was ill advised. For in Latin countries no parent will induce impudence or questioning words from his or her children. Wherefore Paz was promptly spanked by her mother, despite the young lady's 15 years, and safely deposited in a room with barred windows, the door of which they locked on the outside, recommending that the undutiful one engage in prayer to the Virgin, who would of a certainty soften her hard heart and reconcile her to marriage with that opulent and generously inclined Don Pepe. So far, so good. Leaving the weeping竹 booboozing indignantly in her durance vile, Mother Gonzalez hastened to don her best blue rebozo and waddle about gleefully, spreading the joyous news: "Behold, only figure to yourselves, little neighbors!" she explained. "Paz has been asked for in marriage by Don Pepe of the empeno. Dios de la Vida, but it was luck of the very best! Only think of the riches, the many dollars gained from the stupid tourists who go about seeking into everything. The large sums of money in the loteria and, above all, that magnificent floating garden from which Don Pepe derives $15 every month! Ay de ml girls hadn’t such chances when I was young." "True, senora, but is not Tio Pepe a trifle too old for your little muchachita Paz?" searchingly inquired a tall, Juquese washerwoman, who had deserted her washing stones to listen to the news. "Of what importance is the age? Think to yourself of all that money. The rich garments, the many fine things that my daughter will have!" vaingloriously retorted the mother. And the Juno, bending again to her tiresome task, did think and sigh. She had married at 13 for love. Now she was the sole support, despite prayers and offerings to the Virgin, of a pulque soaking husband and ten hungry children. "Perhaps," she reflected, "the mother of Paz was in the right. But poor Juan!" Poor Juan indeed. Jollying boatmen on La Viga broke the new state of affairs to him, and over the young fellow’s rage, incredulity, despair and proanity we must perforce draw a veil. Not for three days did the discarded lover show himself. On the evening of the third day he appeared to the family of Gonzalez, minus Paz, who was still locked up. So downcast was he, so meek and utterly dejected, that even the hard hearts of the Gonzalez couple melted at the sight of him. He had brought some cigarettes “of the finest” for Papa Gonzalez and a magnificently then, did the mother of Paz countenance her daughter’s engagement to Tio who, with many bland adioses to the smiling parents and a leer that convulsed poor unsuspecting Paz, now proceeded to take his departure.

And those who know well drew on apace that great glorious day，the 15th of September和“the world”was prepared or paring to celebrate the occasion。The city was agog，elaborately formed bands played in every direction，squads of blue clad foot soldand bunches of yellow clad caviarformed for the procession，flowers are orientated buildings和 people。The national colors floated from every staff and gayly dressed holiday manparaded the streets。Every one，in factwas abroad in land and having veritable “hurrah” so far as with him or her lay。Even decrepit，when Old Tio Pepe had shut up up the pa- shop and，attired in skin tight trouserslaced jacket and hat，limped absmirking and ogling and “setting innumerable “treats”to that heartand suddenly resigned Paz，with father and mother。Oh，它 was allwonderful and gay！Too bad that pu-Juan could not be there too！“ “Poor Juan,” as it happened，was at La Viga，the only living being tha-for every chick and child of itsdents was with the great crowd inthe plaza，awaiting “el Grito”and works at 11 of that night。Juanother work to do，evidently connectwith the floating garden of Tio Pu-about which he had beenfurtively lining since the departure of its owner6 o'clock。And just at 11 o'clock，were there a deafening clamorforthe city，withthe continued Jingling There are people who say that benefit derived from use of put medicines is imaginary。它 is not case with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription，which makes weak women strangand sick women well。A woman imagines weak，or may fancy sick，但her imagination can't add pounds to her weight.The posi-fool of curative power of "FavorsPrescription" is found in the restorationof health which is recorded in faceform，of strength which can be testedand weight which can be registeredpounds and ounces.

Then the blue flowers would find their last resting place in the Viga waters, down which they would float until they perhaps reached their birthplace again. And a red poppy or some sweet peas may be would usurp their place with that coquette, Paz. For many weeks, as knew the little world along La Viga, Juan and Paz had been sweethearting. Even miserly old Tio Pepe knew of the courtship that was going on between the handsome young boatman and pretty Paz, on whom the old scamp for long had his own bleared eye. But little did he care. Tio had seen enough of the world during his 60 years to know that money discounts love in nine cases out of ten. He himself was getting too infirm to much longer tend both pawnshop and garden, and Paz was a strong, capable girl. She would make a good wife, he thought, and when he got ready to descendingly "drop his handkerchief" he doubted not but that Paz would make haste to pick it up. And even in the remote case that she preferred Juan—Well, then Gonzalez, her father, could knock reason into her pretty black head. In all of which, as you will perceive, Tio Pepe was in the right. It was upon a sunny fiesta day in early September that Tio finally decided to propose, warned thereto by increasing rheumatism and new creaks in his poor old joints. Immediately, therefore, after closing his shop for the day he laboriously drew on his holiday garments—black silver buttoned trousers so tight that he could barely sit down in them, a gay, short coat and costly sombrero of tan felt and gold. Nor should one omit to mention his tight, creaking shoes of bright yellow leather.

So downcast was he, so meek and utterly dejected, that even the hard hearts of the Gonzalez couple melted at the sight of him. He had brought some cigarettes "of the finest" for Papa Gonzalez and a magnificently carved rosary for the manaeta. To Paz, as he broken heartedly murmured, he dared bring nothing, not even a tiny flower of St. John! Melted almost to tears at his misery and further moved by the bottle of red wine which Juan dismally produced from the depths of his blouse, these parents began to palliate their seeming hardness and with one accord began to make excuse: "Ay Dios, Juanito of our hearts, well thou knowest that we love tree a thousand times more than Tio Pepe. Of a verity, as thou knowest, we would wish tree for the husband of our Paz. But—there is the money." Juan, his head bent and sorrowful velvety eyes fixed upon the Viga before him, with its green islets and brilliant flowers, said little. Perhaps like the parrot, he thought all the more, for a sudden idea seemed to strike him. Turning to the old people, he said softly: "Friends of my heart, perhaps I can borrow from the good Senor Esmeeth, for whom I labored at the dynamite deposit, money sufficient to buy a small floating garden. If so, may I and not that sneaking old Pepe have the little Paz? Tell me? Now, only mark the soft heartedness, the veritable duplicity of this brace of peon parents. For with one accord, in a single breath, as it were. Papa and Mamma Gonzalez gave vent to emphatic "yes-es." Therefore before the departure of Juan it was mutually agreed and understood that Juan, being first (and evidently last) in the affections of Paz, was secretly to be given several days' grace in the gathering together of something to offer as a dower to his bride elect. If by the 17th of September at latest he had "gathered together" nothing, then he was to retire himself, leaving Tio Pepe a clear field. If however, he could beg, borrow or steal from his friend Senor Esmeeth money to buy a small garden which would guarantee a comfortable living, There are people who say that benefit derived from the use of put medicines is imaginary.

In his capacious blouse the man carried both.

Juan, how-reached home intact and joyful, three sticks of dynamite and severs of fuse concealed in that al, his manta blouse, and during next few days he “lay low,” not near the house of Paz, but being a great deal of time on the below the floating gardens. “An out of mine,” he stated in a lordly thinking of selling to me a bells, screaming and cheering of 15,000 people and the banging of innumerable fireworks. Juan was fleeing in his boat away from the garden of Tio Pepe. Two minutes after he was safely distant therefrom there was the arising of that selfsame island into the astonished air, and its subsequent settling in about 15 fragments upon the placid waters of La Viga. And so a long, last adios to the garden of poor old Tio Pope! And bright and early the next morn behold a wonder—two wonders, in fact—even for a land in which mountains appear in a single night and lakes disappear forever from mortal ken. The Island of Tio Pepe had sunk (so wondering people said) beneath the Viga waters—at any rate, it was gone. The devil must have done it, they concluded, and they all hurried to mass and sprinkled holy water upon themselves and prayed numerous “Padre Nuestros.” Meanwhile farther down the Viga a solitary, crippled old dame, hobbling about early in the morning, lifted up her dim eyes and beheld a little green islet where the night before no islet had been. She, instead of taking the name of the devil in vain, smiled to herself and muttered: “Que muchacho! How the poor little one must have labored during the night! I will take a hurried look before his coming. If onions are there, I might as well have them as any one else!” Tio Pepe, reaching home at midday on the 16th, muddled as to legs and head and repentant as to his mind, was met with the news that his floating garden had been swallowed up, even as the volcano at Jorullo had been. Every one had noted the smell of brimstone in the air. Old Jonquin, the carador, paddling late up the Viga, had seen an awful figure with horns and a long tail carrying the island off bodily on his pitchfork. It was assuredly the work of the devil. Of a truth had Tio best make his peace with the world and live in godliness, else the demon would carry him off, too, as he had done the island. Frightened, speechless, Tio Pepe had several fits, after which he hastened to clear out his pawnshop and, with his precious bankbook, set hurried sail, ser burro, for his own land. It was not well, as he knew, to tempt the devil. The garden was gone, enchanted away, but he could and would save the bankbook and himself. STOPS PAIN Athens, Tennessee., Jan. 27, 1901.

He tarried for a Kansas and for half a day in Nebra. It was just about the time that wave was departing and the drag lay heavy upon the land. When arrived at Chicago he was interested. He told the reporters that braska and Kansas were in the arid region, and when he spoke corn belt he did not include State therein. Since then the newspapers of States have been delving into records to prove that if Mr. Will Secretary of Agriculture, there is no number things about agriculture that he doesn't know. State Scientist Coburn of Kansas led with figures showing that Nebraska—the great wheat growing State—a country, and that Nebraska has first, second or third in the main corn growing for the ten years that its record of 300,000,000 bushels 1896 has never been equalled by State, save Iowa, the home of Secretary Wilson.

Juan, how-cheated home intact and joyful, three sticks of dynamite and sewers of fuse concealed in that his manta blouse, and during the few days he "lay low," not going near the house of Paz, but being a great deal of time on the below the floating gardens. "An out of mine," he stated in a lordly thinking of selling to me a garden. Quien sabe whether I may or not." And those who knew, were to be bought for love or below Santa Anita, smiled goodly and passed on. Drew on apace that great and was day, the 15th of September, the world" was prepared or pre-cede to celebrate the occasion. All city was agog, elaborately unil-bands played in every direcquads of blue clad foot soldiers unches of yellow clad cavalry for the procession, flowers decouples buildings and people, the naked floated from every flag- and gaily dressed holiday makers and the streets. Every one, in fact, abroad in the land and having a hole "hurrah" so far as within her lay. Even decrepit, wheezy Tio Pepe had shut up the pawn-pound, attired in skin tight trousers, jacket and hat, limped about, jug and ogling and "setting up" terrible "treats" to that heartless suddenly resigned Paz, with her mother. Oh, it was all very and gay! Too bad that poor would not be there too! Mr. Juan," as it happened, was still Viga, the only living being there, very chick and child of the rest was with the great crowd in the awaiting "el Grito" and fire at 11 of that night. Juan had work to do, evidently connected the floating garden of Tio Pepe which he had beenfurtively burried the departure of its owner at clock. And just at 11 o'clock, when carose a deafening clamor from sky, with the continued jugling of seen an awful figure with horns and a long tall carrying the island off bodily on his pitchfork. It was assuredly the work of the devil. Of a truth had Tio best make his peace with the world and live in godliness, else the demon would carry him off, too, as he had done the island. Frightened, speechless, Tio Pepe had several fits, after which he hastened to clear out his pawnshop and, with his precious bankbook, set hurried sail, ser burro, for his own land. It was not well, as he knew, to tempt the devil. The garden was gone, enchanted away, but he could and would save the bank-book and himself. As regards pretty Paz and that graceless and jubilant Juan, little remains to be told. The very day after Tio Pepe's flight Juan, in spotless white, a flower in his sombrero and another over his ear, appeared again at the house of his beloved, entreating that the family acco-many him in his own boat to a small piece of property which, added by a loan from his benefactor, Senor Esmeeth, he had only just purchased. Rapture ensued. Embraces were bandled about, many healths drunk, and eventually the happy party of four floated down the canal through the low gates, where, unless you duck your heads, you are more than apt to bump them, past the grim, stony old churches and past the pretty, sunny gardens at Santa Anita. And finally on a somewhat remotely situnted island Juan landed his party. "It is our little garden now," he announced proudly, "bought from the old aunt, who had moved away to her own tierra; bought with the money of the good, kind Senor Es-meeth and offered now, with my soul's devotion and adoration, to my own Paz, that heart of my heart." Whereat more joyful embraces, shrieks of rapture and the christening of the pretty new island in many bumpers of pulque and good red wine. Should you ever go down the Viga in Juan's boat you are hereby advised not to go near that persistent boatman's pretty garden, where, with Paz dimpling and smiling among her violets and poppies, you are morally sure to spend yourworldly all on totally unnecessary and irresistible bouquets of those aforesaid flowers.—Argonaut. Two Ways. A wealthy and cultured American prominent in social and literary circles lately died in England, where he had resided for 30 years. Since his first week abroad he had never dined at an Englishman's table. At his first dinner party in London his host made a slighting reference to the United States which his guest, as a guest, could not resent. Upon the spot he resolved never to accept an invitation where such another affront might be put upon his patriotism. For the antithesis to this act cross the channel to Paris. An Austrian archduke visiting in that city offended a Frenchman, who later, in a drawing room, trod on his foot. The archduke took out his handkerchief, brushed the dust from his shoe and remarked aloud to his host. "What an awkward person that is!" The archduke was too highly placed in Europe to acknowledge the possibility of intentional insult.

"I had been a sufferer from uterine trouble for about three years, having two mishaps in that time and the doctors I consulted said that I would have to go through an operation before I could give birth to children," writes Mrs. Blanche E. Evans, of Parsons, Luzerne Co., Pa., Box 41. "When about to give up in despair I saw the advertisement of Dr. Pierce's medicine in the Wilkes-Barre Record, and thought I would give it a trial as a last resort. I bought a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription from the druggist, T. F. O'Donnell, of Parsons, and after taking it felt better than I had for years. Felt improved before I had taken one-half of the bottle. After I had taken four and a half bottles I gave birth to a bright baby girl, who is now four months old, and has not had a day of sickness. She is as bright as can be. I cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is peculiarly and specifically a medicine as conducted by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., that it has to deal so many times with the disappointed hopes of women who have failed of the happiness of maternity. But it is one of the glad privileges of this same medical correspondence bureau that in the greater number of such cases, the obstacles to maternity are overcome by the establishment of the womanly health. Not infrequently women write that they feel perfectly well and cannot understand why they are denied the maternal happiness which they desire. Such women learn that feeling well and being well are widely different matters. Pew women are by nature debarred from the happiness of maternity. In the majority of cases Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription supplemented by his free medical consultation by letter, are sufficient to establish the womanly health and remove the obstacles to maternity.

Incorporated under the Laws of the State of Delaware Capital Stock $400,000 Authorized Issue. Par value $1 per share. "May carry on any business except banking in any part of the world." The mines and mining claims are: The Old Shoes, The Red Bug, The Patsy Bollwar, The Harmony, the Standard, the Central (one half), The Polka Dot, The Bull's Eye, The Full Moon, The Half Moon, The Meteor, the Colined Money, The Fellowship, The Little Giant, The Lookout, The Jason, The Blackhawk, The Lone Star, The Lucky Boy and Sixteen to One. There is also the undivided one-tenth of the Good Hope group of wines and claims, twelve in number. Values in ores are of gold, silver, lead, copper and some bismuth, as the product of the veins. ...OLD SHOES MINE... During the former explorations, and by sinking the shaft on the Old Shoes mining claim and vein by mill sampling, these values were found and shown to be in the ore of that vein: First: On discovery, small chips were broken off all along this Old Shoes vein, at surface erppings of the vein, for the distance of 1000 feet, these crushed and sampled down to 25 pounds, and then down to an assay sample, which, on assay, gave gold value per ton of rock in place, $614. Sinking by shaft was started at once, at depth: Three feet ... $856 Six feet ... 1714 Fourteen feet ... 4764 Twelve feet ... 1934 Eight feet ... 3006 Twenty-eight feet ... 1665 Fifty-seven feet ... 1262 Seventy-two ft.(v. in f') feet ... 2062 Three Sections - 1 ... 850 Two ... 1991 Three ... 8345 All of the outside claims and the veins thereof, as outcroppings have been sampled just as was the surface of the Old Shoes vein outcropping. The ores are similar, and the result of values was an average of three to nine dollars per ton of the rock in place, as exposed by the veins' outcroppings. The results having been obtained from eight teen mill samples of about 25 pounds each, and each crushed and averaged down to the assay sample. It is plainly apparent that all of these claims will justify good development in search for the high-grade ore shoots of the vein. Work has been resumed and is now in progress on these properties.

An expert gem cutter recently discovered and patented a method of cutting diamonds by which it is said their brilliancy and apparent size are increased 25 to 30 per cent. This remarkable effect is brought about by following the natural lines of crystallization of the uncut gem. A brilliant may thus be cut with as many as 80 facets, while the number under the old method never exceeds 64. To Utilize Peat Bogs. J. J.

Advice From the Box. On one occasion in the fifties an amateur dramatic performance was given in San Francisco for the benefit of some deserving charity. Among the performers was the late Hugh Farrar McDermott, the poet, and in a box was Mr. Mills. The play was some classic piece, and the acting was so bad that what should have been a tragedy became a farce. In the last act McDermott dropped his sword and stooping awkwardly, picked it up. There was a titter in the audience, which increased as the luckless performer asked. "What shall I do with this envenomed blade?" From the banker's box came in a queer stage whisper, "Stab yourself, Hugh, and be done with it!"—Frank Leslie's Monthly. Malevolence is misery. It is the mind of satan, the great enemy, an outcast from all joy. And the opponent of all goodness and happiness.—J. Hamilton.

T.A.Darling.Agt. He is the finest child and has been from birth, and I suffered very much less than I ever did before. I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use 'Favorite Prescription.' AN INVITATION TO WOMEN. Sick women, especially those suffering from disease in chronic form, are invited to consult Doctor Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held in sacred secrecy and womanly confidences are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his personal consultations with sick women at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. In a little over thirty years, Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians has treated and cared hundreds of thousands of weak and sick women. Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation letter is not to be confused with misleading advertisements of "free medical advice" made by those who have neither professional qualifications nor legal right to practice medicine. Anyone can give advice on any subject. But "medical advice" of a person who has no medical knowledge must be worthless and may be dangerous. In consulting Dr. Pierce, women are addressing a physician whose skill as a specialist in the treatment and cure of diseases peculiar to their sex has given them a national reputation. There is no similar offer of free medical advice which offers advantages equal to those offered by Dr. Pierce. Accept no substitute for "Favorite Prescription." The only motive for such substitution is to enable the dealer to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medicines. A MEDICAL WORK FREE.

It is the mind of satan, the great enemy, an outcast from all joy and the opponent of all goodness and happiness.—J. Hamilton.
