Fits Baby Had Two to Six Every Day. Suffered Terribly— Doctors Failed. Dr. Miles* Nervine Cured Him. Weak, nervous, fretful, puny children require a treatment such as only Dr. Miles’. Nervine affords. When neglected these symptoms lead to epileptic fits or spasms. Every mother should strengthen her own and babies' nerves with Dr. Miles’ Nervine, a true specific in all nervous disorders. Read the following: “When my little boy was 18 months old he had cramps in his feet and hands. They would be drawn out of shape for two or three days. At first liniment seemed to help but in about two weeks nothing did any good the doctor gave him. We called another doctor but his medicine did no good so we changed to another who called it spinal disease. By this time the child's Body was drawn out of shape; his backbone was curved to one side and his hands and feet out of shape. His sufferings were terrible, and he was having from two to six fits a day. I was taking Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine for nervous trouble and saw it was recommended for fits, so I thought I would see if it would help him. All three doctors had given him up. One-half bottle stopped the fits and his limbs straightened, and another bottle cured him. He is now a strong, healthy boy going to school. I have waited to see if the old trouble returned, before writing toil but it never has. I cannot praise Dr. Miles’ Nervine enough, as I know it saved my boy’s life.”—Mss. Uriah Nelson, Lansing, lowa.

Before ordering in any more sidewalks our profligate city council should save up enough money to pat in some crossings. The laundry is here to stay. Why? Because I have the business experience and money to back me. I owe no man a dollar. O. H. McKay. It takes lots of gall to order taxpayers to build sidewalks along their property when, owing to the profligate management of affairs, the city has not a dollar to bnild the necessary crossings connecting same. Geo. Moorhead sends ns $1,35 from Lovett, Jennings county, in renewal of his subscription to The Democrat and State Sentinel, and encloses best wishes. Thanks, George, and may the same good things come to yon, is onr wish. The 18-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Milttr of Jordan tp., died Monday afternoon from malarial fever.

The Carroll County Citizen is building a handsome new business home of its own. The paper is 55 years old and concluded that it was time to hate a permanent domicile. The Citizen is a good paper and its editor deserves the best. Congratulations, Bro. Crampton. The Democrat has a nice, newsy, batch of news from “South America,” in Milroy tp., this week.

At the reunion of the 9th Indiana at Elkhart a few days ago a committee composed of Capt. McConnel and Lieuts. J. M. Helmick of Wheatfield, and B. R. Faria of Gillam, was appointed to recommend plans for a bronze tablet to be erected in Milroy park in this city to the memory of Col. Milroy. Geo. W. Tanner, proprietor of the short order restaurant down on the levee, had an altercation with his brother-in-law, a young man who clerked in the restaurant, one evening last week and the latter struck George over the head with a chair, catting a terrible gaeh on George’s cheek bone. There were no arrests. Thelma, the little thirteen months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Sorrel, formerly of Rensselaer, now of Sheridan, died Sunday.

Bert Hopper, a carpenter, has moved here from Rose Lawn and occupies Tom Grant’s property on the corner of Main aud Elm streets. Frederick V. Powell, southeast of town, has bought a 20-acre farm 6 miles northeast of Monon and will take possession of same the first of the coming year.

Donnelly, the champion onion grower of this coanty, is engaged in housing his this year’s crop, He will have 4,000 to 5,000 bnshels, the yield being from 400 to 500 bushels per acre. "V The Wheatfield bank, owned by Robt. Parker of Remington, has been sold to Horace Marble and J. P. Hammond of Wheatfield, and the officers of the First National bank of this city. John Tillett of Gillam tp., was in the city on business yesterday.

JOYS OF BUGGY RIDING.

They say that buggy riding is conductive to tender feelings. We don’t see how it could very well help being so. When a young man in a sop-dish hat and polka-dotted socks drives up in his rubber tired buggy in front of the home where she lives, and she comes to the door all rigged out in things which we haven’t time to enumerate and trips down to the front steps and the young man just tosses her into the narrow seat and gets in beside her and taps the horse with the whip, while the buggy quivers like a thing of life ana joy forever, and she snaggles up to him like a tame gazelle or a kitten to a hot brick, and does all in ber power to soothe and sustain the tenderest feelings of the young man beside her who doesn’t know by this time but every minute will be the next one, we don’t see why buggy riding should not be conductive to the tenderest feelings of anything extant. Horseback riding is cold and distant. It is buggy riding that is conductive and the longer the ride and more lonely the road the more condactive it is.

EMERSON’S PROSE STYLE.

Held to Be Lacklun; la the Quality of Writers tailed Masters. What shall be said of Emerson’* prosd? Was Matthew Arnold right when, as an experienced critic calmly Judging the favorite author of hi» youth, he denied that the “Essays,!” the lectures and “English Traits” formed a body of prose of sufficient merit to entitle Emerson to be ranked as a great man of letters? It seems as IT the time had come for Emerson’s countrymen frankly to accept this verdict. Because of deficiencies, both of style and of romance, Emerson docs not belong to the small class of the great masters of prose. Ills style, despite the fact that “Nature” and many 0 1 the essays contain pages of eloquent prose almost equal in power and beauty to noble poetry, was nearly a I way* that of the lecturer or preacher rather than that of the writer. He too frequently lost the note of distinction and was content if he satisfied his far from exigent audiences. In diction, to be sure, he was a conscious and consummate master, and it need scarcely be said that few writers have surpassed him in the ability to compose a pregnant sentence. But, as is generally admitted and as is shown by bis practice of piecing his notes together, he was rarely able to evolve a paragraph,, much more a whole essay, in a masterly or even in a workmanlike fashion. It may be granted that critics have overemphasized his lack of coherence, that there is more logical unity in his essays than appears on first reading, that “English Trails” and the later volumes are far from being mere strings of “orphlc sayings,” but the fact seems to remain that the prose style of Emerson from first to last lacks the firmness, the compass, the precision, the flexibility, the individuality we demand of the prose writers whom we denominate masters.—Professor Trent in Bookman.

MIGHTY TREES OF SIERRA.

Grvatrat In Size of All Creation* of the Living World. During all the ages nature has favored the growth of forests on the Pacific mountains, providing the peculiar conditions which make them far different from, greater in size, more luxuriant, than any other in the world. Of all the creations of the living world none is so great in size, so majestic in presence, as the mighty trees of the Sierra and the Cascades. For here the. air is always fertile ' with moisture,, clouds blown In from the Pacific ocean rest among the mountain summits, evetx crowning the tops of the trees themselves, and here discharge their rainThe soil is deep and spongy with centuries of decomposing vegetable matter, furnishing an unequaled nurturing place for vegetation, and there are- no extremes of heat in summer or depth* of cold in winter, says the Century Magazine. Every condition has been favorable to unexampled exuberance of growth 1 not only of the largest trees, but of air manner of undergrowth, vine, shrub and brake. A huge tree falls, decays and is yellowed with thick moss. Immediately scores of young firs and cedars spring up along the top of it—the first chance of n hare spot in the wood. Old burned stumps, gathering soil im* their hollow interiors, nre nurseries forcolonies of young trees, some strong individual finally shouldering out the others, growing larger, and, as the' mother stump drops away, sending its roots downward into the earth through the disintegrating textures until it in time becomes a great tree.

Women’s Strength In Tears.

The weakest woman in all the world' is armed with one weapon against which man’s pride and strength arepowerless. Her tears will win when' everything else has failed. A woman’stears move her own tender sex as well-' as the sterner masculine brutes. Old and young yield to their potential spell, and when the woman happens tobe pretty there is no telling what willfollow when her bright eyes grow misty with these messengers from s wounded heart. It is folly to attempt to stand out against a woman's tears. They Wave caused revolutions. They have made and unmade many a great cause. They can be met in only oneway unconditional surrender.—Exchange.

Placing Him Right.

Ae a northern express drew up at a station in the early morning for a few minutes’ wait, a pleasant looking gentleman stepped out on the platform,, and, inhaling the fresh air, enthusiastically observed to the guard: "Isn’t this invigorating r* "No, airj it is Nonnanton,” said the conscientious employee. The pleasant looking gentleman retired.—London Telegraph.
