Seldom Wear Out Dr. Miles* Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain—not only once, , but as many times as it is necessary to take them. Many persons who suffer from chronic ailments find in them a source of great relief from the suffering which they would otherwise be compelled to endure. Their soothing influence upon the nerves strengthen rather than weaken them. £For this reason they seldom lose their effectiveness. “I am 62 years old and have suffered for 42 years from nervous troubles, rheumatism and neuralgia, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, sleeplessness, and pain around the heart. 'The Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills have been a blessing to me. I don't know what I should do without them, and they are the only remedy I have ever used that either did not wear out In less time than I have been using them, or else the Injurious results were such that I -would be obliged to cease their use."

Heart Strength Heart Strength, or Heart Weakness, means Nerve Strength, or Nerve Weakness—nothing more. Positively. not one weak heart in a hundred is, In Itself, actually diseased. It Is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that really trail at fault. This obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply needs, and must have, more power, more stability, more controlling, more governing strength. Without that the Heart must continue to fall, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why, as a medicine. Dr. Shoop's Restorative has in the past dons so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Shoop first sought ths cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocating heart distress. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; lMtrengthens: it offers real, genuine heart help. 11 you would have strong Hearts, strong digestion, strengthen these Jttsrves— re-establish them as needed, with Dr. SHoop's Restorative A.

THE SAILOR KING

William 1., the uncle and Immediate predecessor of Queen Victoria, was usually called the “sailor king,”'and he possessed in a remarkable degree the open hearted, frank and generous spirit which characterizes the British tar. The prince, being at home for the Chrlßtmas gathering at Windsor castle, was taking a stroll in London by hjmself, a custom by no means uncommon with him, for he disliked being followed by attendants. It chanced that he made his way over London bridge, which at that time had a series of narrow alcoves or recesses with seats along the river or balustrade side of the pavement. In these nooks beggars often congregated, not only the regular professional mendicant with his ready whine and madeup tale of distress, but the really unfortunate, who were certainly not cared for then as they are now,* It was, a bitter December day, and the ice cold wind pierced even the comfortable wrappings of the sailor prince, chilling his young blood, but it seemed to freeze the ragged creatures whom he passed. It may be that feeling the cold himself caused him to look with awakened Interest at the poor, when suddenly he noticed u middle aged, weather beaten Jack tar in a ragged jacket and trousers, a red nightcap on his head and his old shoes tied on his feet by some strainds of rope. lie had neither shirt nor stockings, and, though his skiu seemed to have been bronzed and dried by the rigor both of heat nud cold In many different climates, he now appeared nearly perishing with frost and hunger. An expression gleamed in the eyes of this miserable object and the young prince at the same moment.

They knew each other, and as the poor man’s glance fell before the startled and benevolent gaze of the royal middy the latter sang out in a true sea breezy voice: “What, Bob Clewlines, do I not hall an old shipmate In you? To be sure I do, and as prime a seaman as ever trimmed a sail or Served a gun. Why, what has battered your old hulk in this way ?’ TTie man was dumb with conflicting emotions, but the tears started in his eyes. The middy, also overcome, stretched out his hand, which the other did not venture to take. “Come, Bob,” cried the prince, “no subordination now. We are all equals op life's qimrter deck when a storm comes and tears the rigging. Come, tip us your fin, old boy, and, 1 say, come along with me, and I’ll see a bit to the refitting of your canvas. Come, look sharp!” So saying, the youth walked briskly on till ho came to a shop near Wellclose square. “Here, you, sir, I want an ‘out and out,’ spick and span new rigging for my mate here.” “Who'S to pay?” said the cautious trader. ■“Why, I'll pay, to be sure,” was the reply. “Oh, very well,” he answered and retired with Bob into his back room and soon returned, bringing the seaman comfortably clad and two Changes of underlinen done up in a bundle uudei his arm. Just as Bob Clewlines appeared a half naked boy passed the shop doo^. “Pitch your old togs to that younker,” said the prince. “One good turn deserves another, Bob.” And so as the shivering lad thankfully gathered up the ragged garb there were two hearts made happier at the same moment “And now what’s to pay?” cried the royal middy. “Fifteen dollars, sir.” With genuine sailor impetuosity the generous youth had not calculated his finances, and as the allowance made to Prince William Henry was never large and he was by no means skillful in managing it he was for a moment perplexed w hat to do until he thought of his watch and said, “What will you give me for this?” The dealer eyed it suspiciously, weighed it In his hand and then began to deprecate It. V'."—“It’s very pretty, but not heavy. It’s the fashion maybe, but we buy by weight—just the case Is all. I’ll venture to give you S2O for the case, sir, but I’m like to lose by It.” “Let’s see, then, you take the gold case, and I’ll keep the Inside. It must work like my mate for a bit without Its jacket, but I must have $25. Do as I bid you, man, and let me have the money.” * The dealer finally took the watch and handed sls change to the royal middy, who said: “Here, Bob, do you take the odd change to keep your pocket warm till you get aboard again.” By this time poor Bob was crying like a child, for he had been long sick and disabled, and It was no fault of his that he was destitute. With honest pride he feared that he was asking too much from his benefactor, but the youth overcame his reluctance, saying os he held the money toward him: “Come, come, take In your cargo, shipmate. It’s only what I owe you. Were you not the kindest creature in the world to me when I was confined to my berth with yellow fever? Do yon think I have forgotten that? What do you take me for, eh? Go and get some rations, my man.” It Is said the royal middy had to put himself on a month’s short allowance of cash to make up the arrears incurred to get his wgteh case back. Meanwhile Bob did not forget to tell the story, and It was deeds like this that endeared William Henry, duke of Clarence, to the people of England.-* London* News.

BOWSER PUS THEM

His Theories About Tramps, However, Are Not Weil Founded. HEARS THE STORY OF ONE Attempt to Act tho Part of a Philanthropist Again a Failure, Just as Hie Good Wife Predicted —An Exciting Chase. [Copyright, 1907, by Homer Sprague.] Mr. and Mrs. Bowser had finished dinner and taken a seat on the front steps to enjoy the evening air when a tramp passed ntong the walk and looked hard at the house. Both noticed him and Mrs. Bowser said: "There’s a tramp who ought to be arrested. He was at the door three different times today, and the last time he was very Impudent. If there had been a policeman around I should have given him in charge.” “And I should have been very much displeased with you,” replied Mr. Bowser. "You can see for yourself that he looks quite 111. He limps. He has a wan and discouraged look. No doubt he feels that every man’s hand is against him. He is doubtless hun-

gry and tired, and he must make his bed iu the street tonight. I can’t understand why you are so hard hearted about your fellow mortals 7“ “I offered to pay him for cutting the grass, but he refused to work.” “Then I should say that he was not able to. He may have a rupture or be a victim of consumption.” “I should sooner think he was a victim of laziness.” Nettled by Remark. Mr. Bowser had no particular interest in the tramp, but this remark net- , tied him. He became a champion at once. Turning on Mrs. Bowser, he said: “I tell you I don't like it at all your turning these friendless men from my door. Not one time iu a thousand is it their fault that they have to ask for charity. They are the playthings of misfortune. If you could hear the story of that poor man you would be ready to shed tears. He may have been a rich man once—an eminent citizen and an honor to his town. Misfortune overtakes him and he is brought low. Then he begins to meet stony hearted people of your mold. When you turned him from the door today you stabbed him. When a man gets down it’s folks like you that keep him down.” "He’s coming hack now,” said Mrs. Bowser, “and if you feel so sorry for him you’d better call him in. He’s lodking for an easy mark.” “By thunder, woman, but don’t you talk that way to me! If the poor man Is coining back it is because he saw mercy and pity in my face. Yes, 1 will call him iu. I will call him in and ask him to relate his story, and I’ll bet a dollar you’ll shed tears over it.” “Excuse me. If he’s coming In I’ll run across the street and see Mrs. Green for a few minutes. When it comes to the point where I ought to shed team please call me over.” Mr. Bowser got as red as paint In the face and would have ordered her to remain, but Just then the tramp turned In at the gate, and she passed him. He stood for a moment at the foot of the steps to see what sort of a reception be was- to meet, and Mr. Bowser worked up a smile and said: “Come up here, my man, and sit down. I want to have a talk with you.” “I thought mebbe the old gal had queered my case,” whispered the tramp as he slowly ascended the steps. “You hain’t putting up any Job to have me arrested?’ a Not at all, sir. Have a smoke? I am simply a man who believes that other men have a right to live. Von are a tramp. I want to know why you are. There must be a story connected with it.. You wouldn’t go around this way if you were not obliged to.”

“Right you are, old man,” replied the tramp as he got his cigar alight “There was a time when I had my own house and family and was one of the best of ’em. If any man had told me then that I would go tramping I should considered him a lunatic. Never was there a more happy home than mine when I opened a grocery and made a specialty of New Orleans molasses. I cut the price from 75 to 50 cents a gallon to make a draw of it Do yon tumble?’ Customers Were Suspicious. “Go on.” “Lots of talking to be done, sir. Had to convince my customers that I wasn’t selling a compound of tar and lard. More talk than I waa able to do, and eo

I put In a hot air engine to help me dp the blowing. Greatest success you ever *aw, sir. 'Blew the molasses out of seven barrels a week right along for a year. Blew right along for twelve hours a day and convinced the most skeptic, and I had the trade of the town all coppered when my competitors Induced my wife to elope with a minister and break me up. I fainted away when I heard the news and did not come to for a week. During this Interval the hot air engine blew Itself up and the grocery as well. No Insurance. When I told my darling and only child that her dear mamma had taken a skate the little thing fell over dead. I had orders ahead for ’leven different Jugs of ’lasses, and when I could not fill them I had ’leven suits for damages. I was dashed from the pinnacle of hope to the depths of despair In a fortnight” “ 4 Um, um, um!” grunted Mr. Bowser as the tramp paused. "Then my house took fire and burned to the ground. No insurance. Then I went Insane and had to be taken to an asylum for a year. When I got out I had just 30 cents and a blasted name In my pocket. I was down, sir, but not discouraged. I bought an elephant on trust and started In to raise young elephants and train them to draw baby carriages. I had ten of them all ready for the market when the mumps came along, and every last one of the beasts keeled over. Wasn’t It heartbreaking, sir?” “I’m, um!” “But ambition was not yet dead. 1 ran across a man who had confidence in me, and he set me aip in the squab business. I had a thousand young doves ready for the market and had been promised 50 cents apiece for them when they suddenly changed into woodpeckers and were a dead loss on my hands. Scientific men and naturalists couldn’t understand it, but I was ruined again Just the same. When I found that this was a fact I threw myself down on the ground with so much force that I ruptured myself In three different places. I lay there until I caught a heavy cold and became the victim of consumption. At the present time my ailments consist of three ruptures, one case of consumption, one enlarged liver, one spine out of plumb and one case of asthma. Yes, sir, but there is still one more fight left in me?* and I am here this evening to appeal to you.” “Um! Um!” “The crying need of the age is an icebox that can be used for other purposes as well. It can he a piano, a folding bed, a potato bin, a family medicine chest, a clothes closet, an aquarium and a savings bank all in one. I have got it on the market. What do you say to a partnership? You furnish the cash, and I’ll furnish the brains^’

Orders Tramp to Leave. Mr. Bowser had realized from the first that the tramp had beeu “stringing” him and had been gradually getting madder and madder. If it hadn’t been for Mrs. Bowser sitting on the steps across the street he would have done something almost at once. As it was, he waited, but when the story was finished he rose up and said to the man: “Get off the steps and out of the yard!” “Why, Billy, what's the row with you?” was asked. “You are a liar and a deadbeat sir!” “Oh, come, now, old party, but don’t get your back up. If you’ve got the cash I’ve got the brains, and we'll make a big thing of that icebox. Suppose you handed me half a dollar now and”Tben events happened. Mr. Bowser reached for the tramp's collar, and the man started down the steps and began to call names and use swear words. Then there was a whoop and a rush, and a hundred people sprang to their feet in alarm. Out of the open gate like a wild horse running for his life went the downtrodden whose hot air engine had ruined him, and close behind him followed Samuel Bowser, who had been his companion. The evening air was rent with whoops and a clatter and shouts of inquiry and alarm, and pursued and pursuer passed on and on and on and left only an i-ddy of dust behind them to show that human beings had been there.
