Uwr~ToyMo Remedy Free 'Any intelligent person can be his (own doctor in the ordinary case of liver trouble, for the symptoms cantoot be mistaken. If the white of the eye becomes yellowish, if the skin becomes sallow, if pimples and blotches appear, if the bowels do not move, if you have sick headache, if you are bilious, you may be sure that your liver is torpid or inactive. The quickest and surest remedy yet found for the cure of liver trouble or any of its symptoms is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup jPfepsin, the gTeat herb laxative compound. This wonderful remedy is not only a laxative, but a tonic as well. It will start the flow of grastric juice, thereby soon enabling the liver to do its work naturally. A bottle of this great liver remedy can be bought of any druggist for 50 cents or sl, and in many cases a single bottle has cured a chronic case. For example, John W. Lee, 619 S. Pennsylvania ave., Indianapolis, Ind., had a stubborn and very long-standing case of liver trouble, with plfnples, blotches, jaundice, etc., and it cured him. Mrs. B. FUnchum, Jackson, Ky., says the same of it. Thousands of families keep it in the house against just such an emergency, as you can never tell when some member of the family will need a good laxative. In order to have you or any other sufferer from the liver make a test of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin without personal expense. Dr. Caldwell will send you a free test bottle if you will send your name sad address. The sample will show you how pleasant it is to take, how gently It works It will start you on the cure of your trouble and convince you that you have found a cure. That is the object of the sample, and the doctor urges you to ■end for ft today. Slf there is anything about your ailment that you don’t understand, or if you want any medical advice, write to the doctor, and he will answer you fully. There Is po charge for this service.

ONE LEGGED ATHLETES.

Rteorde Mad* by Mon With Qtrfoui Handicap. Although moat of us hare sees, or at least heard of, the one legged orloketers—eleven of whom were often wont, in the days when the game was not so strictly disciplined as it is at present, to oppose an eleven of one armed players— one legged athletes are by no means common, and a one legged golfer is probably unique. Yet such a phenomenon does exist, in the person of a member of the Bulwell Artisan’s club, who, it is said, plays a very sound game. He, in all probability, however, acquired the rudiments of the science when acting as caddie in days previous to the accident that necessitated that amputation of his limb. That such a handicap as the loss of a leg does not incapacitate a man from excelling as a swimmer, says the London Tit-Bits, has been conclusively proved on more than one occasion. One of the foremost exponents of the natatory art at the present day labors under this disadvantage, and many old frequenters of Brill’s Baths at Brighton will remember the head swimming master, Camp, who, despite the fact that he had but one leg, was not only an adept at trick swimming, but in the matter of pace could give a start and a beating to many who had the normal number of limbs. More than once has a one legged cyclist won a race, and not so long since such a one, named West, used, with a liberal start, to hold his own With the speediest professionals. Kilpatrick, too, must be endowed with as much power in his one leg as most men have in their two, if we consider the many daring feats he has accomplished on his cycle, foremost among which are bis standing with his machine on the summit of the 100 foot high Laxey Wheel, in the Isle of Man, and his descending at breakneck speed the east steps of the Capitol at Washington. The annals of foot racing contain more than one record in point. We read how once Newmarket Heath was the scene of a race between two cripples, each having a wooden leg. In the presence of a goodly throng, among whom was the Merry Monarch, “they started fair, and hobbled a good pace, which caused great admiration and laughter among the beholders; but the tallest of the two won by two or three yards.” Again, over a hundred years later, in 1799, a certain one legged man, named Carter, backed himself to cover six miles within the hour, and performed th*e feat with six minutes to spare. Some years since a wrestler named Binet gained much kudos among the habitues of Continental fairs less by his wrestling prowess, although that was not inconsiderable, than by his being handicapped by the loss of a leg. This notwithstanding, he always made a gallant and not infrequent a successful show, his great height, strength and weight standing him in good stead. He excelled, too, in feats of strength, and was specially notable for his skill in casting a heavy blacksmith’s hammer. To w trial of skill with this implement he was wont to issue a general challenge and it was but seldom he found his master. , Nothing, one would say, is more calculated to place a boxer at a disadvantage than the loss of a leg. Yet Thomas Kench, a burly 15 stone man, topped 6 feet by some 3 inches, well hgld his own with the gloves with such as had the temerity to face him in the arena of the booth with which he and other boxers traveled the fairs and race courses in the days when pugWism flourished. Not only gid he take on all comers at mimic warftye, but on one occasion at least heststfipped in the ring for serious fray, his opponent being a Leicester butcher, who thought to compensate for his inferiority In pounds and inches by his superior activity. In this, however, he was mistaken, for the long left of the cripple, which he was unable to avoid, put him out of time after seventeen well fought rounds.

Instinct or Reason.

A Pittsfield man, as a proof that plants reason, offers the following account of a vine on his premises. The vine grows in a box on the window ledge. While watering it recently his daughter noticed a delicate tendril reaching out towards a nail in the side casing. She marked the position of the tendril on the wood and then shifted the nail about an inch lower. Next day the little feeler had deflected itself very noticeably, and was again heading for the nail. The marking and shifting were repeated four or five times, always with the same result; and finally one night the tendril which had grown considerably, managed to reach the coveted support, and was found coiled tightly about It Meanwhile another bunch of tendrils had been making for a hook that was formerly used for a thermometer. Just before it reached its destination the young lady strung a cord across the window sash above. It was a choice then between the old love and the new; and as some vines seem to prefer a cord to anything else, it tru not long in making up its mind. In a very few hours tt3 pale, crisp, little tendrils—which, by the way, conveyed a surpassing suggestion of human fingers—had commenced to lift toward the twine; and tte nest day they reached It and took a Arm grip, Mother—Yea," &uth, tho way to a man's heart Is through hig stomach! - Ruth—lt'n lucky dad ain't a gamut, ain’t It mamal

HALF TRUE TALES OF THE STREET AND TOWN

One little, old black skunk, not as large as a rabbit, can stink up'a drove of a thousand sheep, and then trot oft with its tail over its hack. In like manner, one long tongued, lying, gossip can stir up a whole town and besmirch the fairest characters in it and trot off unharmed. Of the two we had rather be the skunk, for the gossip is sure to go to hell, but the skunk won’t. i —o —■ The cat was being pursued by Patrick around and around the'kitchen. A sudden turn in , the chase landed it “kerplunk” into the crock containing the pancake batter. It scrambled out barely in time to escape a blow from the poker wielded by Patrick, and shot out into the yard. “Lave the poor baste go,” begged Biddy, seeking to make peace. “The batter ain’t hurt in the laste. Every place he touched it has stuck to him.” —o — A Kansas preacher likes to tell this story on another member of the “cloth.” This other person missed his train once because he relied on his watch. “I can scarcely believe it” he said, as he looked dismally after the train just disappearing. “I had such faith in that watch.” “Well, it seems to me,” remarked his companion, “that this is a case for good works rather than for faith.” A Luverne teacher put this question to one of the boys in her school: "If your father gave your mother $7 today and $8 tomorrow, what would she have?” To which the boy promptly replied, “A fit!” A man reported to be rich, died penniless and left his will; “In the name of God, Amen. There’s only one thing I leave. I leave the earth. My relatives have always wanted it. They can have it.” —o —- When a hog goes to the large packing houses at six and a half cents a pound and comes out bacon at ••twen-ty-one cents a pound he is not the only hog in the transaction. , 4 Nurse—Yes, Tommy, you must keep your mouth shut when you’re in the water or else you’ll swallow some of it. Tommy Huh! What if I do? There’s lots more in the pipes, ain’t there? They say her married life was one long series of battles. Yes, she always refers to her alimony as her pension. “For years,” said John Considine, “Ike Smith had owed me eleven dollarss. I used to dun him for it off and on, but I finally gave it up. It was quite evident that Ike had no intention of paying me, although he had plenty of money. I hadn’t seen Ike for some time when it happened we were both passengers on the steamer Epluribus, returning from Europe. Smith came up with a grin and handshake, and I stood for both. We mixed around in more or less the same company on the way back. About half way across we ran into q horible storm. The steamer stood on its head most of the time, and rolled like an empty barrel. All the passengers were sick, and more than that, they were frightened to death. We were all convinced that the ship would never see the light of another sun. Having determined that if I must die, I would at least die with comparative comfort I had gone to my state room and gone to bed. I was in an uneasy, shuddering doze when a thundering knock at the door woke me up. I thought the officers had come around to tell us it was all off. ’Who’s there?’ I called. ‘lt’s me,’ replied a quavering voice; ‘Smithie.’ I got up and staggered over to the door and let him in. He was pale as death and stood there clutching the door casing with one hand. In the other he had a bundle of greenbacks. ‘Here’s your eleven dollars, John,’ he groaned. The ship took a wild swoop. ‘Oh, Lordie,’ he yelled, reaching into his pocket. ‘And here’s a five dollar bill for interest Johnnie dear.’ I took the money, of course. ‘But what,’ I asked him, ‘makes you return this to me now? You’ve had plenty of chanceß before.’ ‘Shucks,’ said Smithie, as sarcastically as he could for swallowing, ‘we wpren’t going to be drowned before.’ ” Robert Clark, §0 years old, one of ITifl pioneers of Chicago and Cook county, died Sunday at his home.
