Twenty Minutes Time Enough? To Core the Worst Headache From Any Cause —New Redaction Method. Most headaches and pains yield Instantly te the new Reduction Method—Dr. Shoop’s Twenty Minute Headache Cure. The cause for these pains is congestion— a rushing ot blood to the nerve centers —which distends the veins to nearly the bursting point. Swollen and enlarged, these veins and capillaries exert an irritating pressure on the myriads, of nerve branches and fibres. Then,there’s aA, pain, and finally that excruciating, ache. This new Reduction Method the blood, distributes th e and di* reets it to the provopSßJ».per channels. It frees the nerve ITaY centers from all pressure and !he pains and aches disappear becausea rgygVg Qjk tht-ir eaus* has been moved. You may tryathouWHHnßHHß' sand remedies —you may WSTBIImW’ drug and stu* pify the nerves into submission —but the remedy which brings prompt relief and permanent cure will be successful because it reduces the congestion —it must embody ths Reduction Method, v Medicine has thus found s way—simple and sure, yet the only way —to thoroughly overcome these attacks of Head* ache and Neuralgia. The effect of Dr. Shoop’s Twenty Minute Headache Cure is prompt—per* fectly suited to all forms of Headache and abac lately positive In every temperament. For as sod recommended by A. F.

In the eyes of all engineers of steamships the deck officers of their ships are profoundly ignorant Here is one of the stories they tell: A young mate went into the engine room with a message from the captain to the engineer. The latter saw the other was Interested and began to explain things to him. Being a civil and obliging man, he made no attempt to tell fairy tales to the stranger, and, moreover, he kept as clear as possible of all puzzling technicalities. He pointed out the cylinders, the various rods, the eccentrics, the shaft, and so on, explained roughly the uses of the various pumps and auxiliary machinery, and the mate was genuinely pleased and interested and said so. Then, when going up on deck again, a thought seemed to strike him. Halting on the ladder, he called the engineer and explained his difficulty. “Thanks, awfully, for showing me round, Mac. You've made the whole thing as plain as a pikestaff. But one thing I don't quite gra9p. What are the boilers for?” The engineer promptly replied, “Why, to keep the firemen from weary lug. yon idiot!”

HASA JOB FOR HIS LIFE

Foreman Is Informed That He Mustn’t Fire Faithful Old “Andy” Smith. STORY OF A WABASH EMPLOYS He Will Continue Inspecting Care-* Man Who Lives the Simple Life—State News. Lafayette, Ind., Aug. B.—That corporations are not altogether heartless, as the popular saying goes, Is shown in an interesting case which has come to light in this city.

Could Not Stand Night Work. The old man was heartbroken. He is nearly worn out, and night work is far too trying for a man of bis age. He pleaded with the foreman, but the latter was obdurate. The old man must either work nights or give up his job. As a result, after serving the Wabash faithfully for nearly half a century, Smith last week gave up the job. Known by the Superindent. Old “Andy,” as he is known to Wabash employes from one end of the system to the other, has been for several years one of the principal figures at the annual meeting of Wabash railroad veterans. The railroad management pays all expenses of bringing the veteran employes together and giving them a good time once each year. It was at on«; of these meetings that “Andy” made the personal acquaintance of the' general .superintendent of the road, S. E. Cotter. Old “Andy” Gets His Job Again. Monday Cotter stopped off in Lafayette for a few minutes, his special train waiting for him while he inspected the yards here. He had no sooner alighted from his coach than he asked for his old friend “Andy” Smith. He was told the circumstances of the case, and if there ever was an angry general superintendent it was Cotter at that time. He ordered the foreman before him, and told him to reinstate Smith at once and never think of discharging him or asking him to perform any work that would cause him to leave the service of the road. HE LIVES THE SIMPLE LIFE Had Never Seen an Elephant, and Never Has Ridden on a Railway Train. Crawfordsville, Ind., Aug. B,—While watching a circus parade Frank Hester, a farmer living near Russellville, said it was the first time he had ever seen an elephant or camel. He is 33 years old and a man of family, but his life has l>een devoted to daily toil and his knowledge of wild animals, other than those Infesting the woods about his native heath, had been limited to an occasional glimpse of a circus poster. After witnessing the parade Hester had a desire to see the inside of the circus tent, but since he was in Crawfordsville on business he denied himself that new pleasure and hastened back to his evening chores. Aside from his distinction in this line he boasts that he has never smoked or chewed tobacco or been Inside ,of a saloon. Neither has he ever experienced the thrill of riding on a railroad train Hester is a man of average Intelligence and reads enough to keep in fair touch with current events, but says he has never had time to indulge In the frivolities of life.
