THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. 6HE GOES BAREFOOTED. Ftj Said Uuurcoln a th Treat ment Cored Her of Inomnl. IX portions continue to find benefit In the FathtT Kneipp barefoot cure the boo manufacturers will have cnuce for complaint. Extremists follow It winter ami summer, but pretty girls Indulge the craze only when the dew Is on the grass, and the toad Is In the pool. Last spring and all during the hot weather those actresses who were not wearing diamonds in Europe, were trending the green sward of the pnbHo parks in New York. S.ildee Bovrgoln who plays In Rob Itoy be came a leader. Bho pays: "When Father Knclpp's cure was given to the public I was disposed to laugh at It. Jost think how It struck me!

"After I had seen and hoard more of the cure, 1 found myself loufrlns for a real good opportunity to try It. Well, the cbnuce came. I was out walking In the Tark in the evening with some friends, and one of the ladies suggest ed that it was hot enough to try most anything that had a tendency to cool one off. In a very short time three women were experimenting on the lawn. The grass was long and soft, and felt like plush to our feet. There was Just enough earth moisture to keep It cool. We had soon covered sev eral blocks of territory, and found the result satisfactory. Indeed, it was almply delightful. "That night I went to sleep the mo ment my head struck the pillow. I bad been troubled with Insomnia for some time, and when I awakened In the morning and found that I had had a good night of uninterrupted rest, I confess I felt disposed to attribute It to the Kueipp cure." COW DUG OUT OF HAIL. Terrible Vlaltution Upon the Suiqunliunna Valley. When hailstones bury a cow so that farmers have to shovel her out, the occurrence is so uncommon even In the vulley of tho Susquehanna that a corespondent there rightly considers It a piece of news. And when he ac companies the story with a double barreled cross-my-henrt-hope-to-dle re Iteration of Its truth, the event Is sure to attract more than ordinary notice. Consider the utteudiug circum stances. "It Mas one of the most de structive storms of the kind ever known In this section," be writes, and It must have been, for ho adds, "one barn was Mown down and another was moved from Its foundations." This slarlllug phenomena, to be sure, took the correspondent's attention for a moment from the refrigerated cow, but soon the horrors of the situation return, and the faithful chronicler continues: "Three days after the storm farmers gathered hall and froze Ice cream, and there were several wa gon loads on one farm a week after the storm. The hailstones formed themselves Into lumps, weighing from one to three pounds." As corroborative evidence that the cow was dug out of her cover of hall, It may be added that "Acids of grain were laid as flat as though a heavy roller had been used over them. In one piece of woods trees were blown down by the score, and tho bark was peeled clean from trees and shrubs" on the side next to the storm. The account must be believed. Nor would It cause surprise to hear that the Ice landic blast had made a mooley of every cow In the beautiful Susque hanna valley. And as for the smaller farm animals, It Is sad to reflect upon what a storm that could bury a cow with hailstones must have done to the poor pigs caught between trough and aty.

Jean a. lUvi A Veteran of the Late'War Adds One More Name to the List of Striking Cures by Pink Pills in Michigan. , IN OLD-FlSHIONED?UHGnf OF THIRTEEN CHILDREN. JVom tt OtnirlwHtrald, Baginnu), Mich, A fctr y.n a wv of La Grippe swept over the land and broiiRht thonnandt of Its victim, to the grave. Others who e. raped the fate lived on In sorrow and luffor Ing, broken in health and spirit. Terrible as was the disease, it. after effects were yet more appalling, as it sought out the wenknensen of the ennstitution and left thou sands shattered wreck of their former selves. A few days Bjfo a Couricr-leraid represen tative, while at the thriving little town of Akron, Mich., met John L. Kmith, a veteran of the industrial army, on whose aped head the disease hnd fallen, and he heard him tell how he had sutTcred and what had given him relief. We can do no better than quote his own words, which are as follows : " About seven years aio I was taken down with the 'Grip,' and it fastened on me very hard. For about half the winter I was so bail that I could not leave the house. I was chilly all the time, and could not pet warm. I felt as if I was frozen solid, and could only breathe with preat difficulty. "This condition alternated with sweating spells of great violence. There was an al most continuous pain, snd it would shoot from one part of my body to another, with great suddenness, and cause me intense suf fering. Sometimes it was in my hips, then in my legs, and again it would go to my head and pain me in the eyes. It was so in tense that it even affected my sight. "I called in medical assistance, but this was fruitless, as I received no benefit from physicians. From then on I tried various preparations that were recommended to mc, but they did me no good, and my condition was as bsd and paiuful as it was before I tried them. ' "Finally, I saw n advertisement of Pr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Pcoplo, and I read with much Interest of the wonderful cures that they had effected In so many cases. I had tried so many proprietary prep, .rations that I had no faith in it, but tried it, as I had so many other things, to .ee if they were of any use. "One day when I was feelini? as bad as usual, I got a box of Pink Pills, and shortly before going to bed I took one pill. I cannot tell you what a surprised man I was next morning. Then I put on my shoes with case, a thing that I had not done for forty years. A little while after this I was so well that I drove to Pay City, Michigan, a distance of twenty-three miles, and wag not at all tired when I got there. " I am now seventy-six years of age and unusually active for a man of my years. I work on my forty-acre farm and experience no trouble from the work. I want to say a pood word for Pink Pills, as they helped me where all else did no good whatever. Since my illness and cure a number of my neigh bors have used them, and say that they have been greatly benefited." Mrs. Smith, the veteran's wife, who sat near by, confirmed the words that her hus band had spoken and added her testimony to the good that the pills had been to the family. The worthy couple are old and re spected residents of Tuscola County, where they have lived for thirty years. Mr. Smith is a sturdy pioneer, and cleared up a 200 ncre farm near Akron. lie yet lives there, surrounded by twelve of his thirteen chil dren. Thanks to Pink Pills, he has a pros pect of many years of usefulness. Another suffcrcrwiUi the same malady was Neil lUymond, a prosperous and hading farmer, residing near Columbiaville, Lapeer Co., Michigan. Speaking to a representative of The Courier-llcrald.tAT. Raymond said: " Three years ago last June, one nipht I suf fered an attack of paralysis, brought on. I think, by overwork ond as an after effect of laprippe. After a wedc niy condition was bo bad that I summoned a physician and doctored for about six mouths, with but little relief.

It is situated on the northern shore of Izumi bay. It was first opened for foreign trade in January, 1 868.

Williams' Pink Pills and thought I wonld try them. I bought a box and continued their nse with pood re sults. I soon bepan to pain in strength and health and felt the pood effect of the Pills. " They were the first things that had been able to plve me relief. They have been of great benefit to me and I can strongly recom mend them to anyone (uttering from paralysis." The case of another veteran hfts come to the attention of this paper and it Is here given: When, in 18(1, tho fate of our Union hunp trembling In tho balance, and President Lincoln issued his famous call for volun teers to go to the front and fight for its pres ervation, on immediate response swept over the North like a tidal wave, and regiment after regiment of bravo boys in blue quickly sprang up from every quarter. Unmindful of the privations of a soldier's life, and the horrors of war, they shouldered their muskets ond marched to tho front tobattlo for their country. Among the first to answer the call was E. O. Matthews, who enlisted ns a member of Company D, 103d Ohio Infantry. nd who fought bravely until the close of the great struggle. Mr. Matthews now lives with hii wife and family of six children and grand children on his farm near Akron, Tuscola County, Michigan. While In the ranks he contracted inflammatory rheumatism and this developed into a trouble that remained with him for over thirty years. He finelly became cured of it and to a representative of the Couritr-Jlerald he spoke of bis case as follows: 1 "During the lafe war I wss a member of Company D, 103d Ohio Infantry, anil per formed all the duties incident to a soldier's life from 1862 to 18i!5. While at the front owing to the rivatlons of our soldier life, I contracted inli.imniatory rheumatism, aud this finally developed Into a permanent form of rheumatism, that has always troubled me since that time. Vt hen 1 was mustered out in 18C5 I went back to Ohio to the place where I enlisted and was laid up there in bed for 12 weeks. I then got out for a short time and was acnin laid ud for a lone incIR Since then I have been a victim of these at tacks and they have laid me up for much of the time. "My case was also complicated by severe kidney troubles and other diseases that baf fled the best medical skill. I have tried many physicians and also proprietary arti cles of all kinds that were said to be good fir such troubles as mine. In my search for health I spent hundreds of dollars, but it seemed to be all in vain, and nothing seemed to reach my trouble and give me relief. About a year ago a friend advised me to try Pr. Williams Pink Pills, and although I had no faith in them, I bought a box and be gan to take them. After 1 had begun on tho third box a great change in my condition be gan to appear, Bnd my trouble for over thirty years' standing began to be cured. I took four boxes more and then felt so well that I discontinued their use. " I am now able to work on my farm and have no fear of the old trouhlo coming back as long as I can get a box of Pink Pills. My cose was a particularly deep seated one, of long standing, aud so I want to let others who are alllicted os I was, know tho benefit that these Pink Pills for Palo Peoplo havo been to me."

Wil liams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. v look Out for the Voice- You often hear boys and girls say words when they are vexed that sound as if made up of a snarl, a whine and a bark. Such a voice often expresses more than the heart feels. Often even in mirth one gets a voice or tone that is sharp, and it sticks to him through life. Such persons get a sharp voice for home use and keep their best voice for those they meet elsewhere. I say to all boys and girls, " Use your best voice at home. Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you than the best pearl in the sea. A kind voice is a lark's song to a heart and home. Train it to sweet tones now and it will keep in tune through life." The Way it was Put. "I presume" said the magistrate, " that you gave the prisoner some oc casion to strike you ?" 'Why, your Honor, we were talking about the coinage, and he made some statement that called me to remark that he had been misled and was ar guing fiom wrong premises, and then he struck me." "Is that what he said to you, pris oner ?" " Yes, that is the substance of it, your Honor, but not the language. What he said was that I didn't know enough to pound sand in a rat hole, and was talking through my hat like a jackass full of thistles and bull nettles." Every year a layer of the sea, four teen feet thick, is taken up into the clouds. The winds bear their burden into the land and the water comes down in rain upon the fields to flow back through rivers. A Scranton constable tried to kill himself by swallowing a dose of lauda num, and when the physicians insert ed a stomach pump he was consumed with fear that they would choke him to death. Gold Bog Story. The Rev. Tom Dixon, in his ser mon at the Academy of Music, New York, said that Mr. Bryan and his followers proposed to permit him to pay $t,ooo he had borrowed with $500. A man in the congregation promptly called the preacher a liar. The lie is not original with the Rev. Tom Dixon. It has been one of the stock arguments of Republican plat lorm orators since the campaign opened. Charity may go so far as to say that probably the Rev. Tom Dixon had no intention of lying, but simply repeated, without due consid eration, that which he had heard some deceiving or misleading person state. When charity feels like stretching itself it can cover a good deal. How ever, now that the preacher's attention has been directed to the falsity of the statement he owes it to his congrega tion to look into the matter and set himself right. For the benefit of others who have not investigated, but have believed in the lie that the gold bug campaigners have told and still persist in sticking to, let us say that the Democratic national platform of 1896 adopted at Ch.-.ago, demands that the standard silver dollar, coined at the legal ratio of 16 to 1, "shall be a full legal tender equally with gold for All debts, public and private." There is not, and never can be, a 50 cent or a 53 cent dollar in the country. The value of money is fix ed by law. I he word " one dollar " on a piece of silver means the same as the identical words on a niece of cold, and the silver coin will buy just as much as the gold coin, regardless of the market price of bullion. Uncle Sam places no false stamps upon his money. The silver dollar is more honest than the gold dollar. Ex.

Sth, was one of the few men who achieved equal seccess in art and in literature. As a cartoonist he became famous before he wielded the pen, though he hnd only one set of faces for all his pictures in " Punch." His novel, " Trilby," was and is one of the best known of books, though not likely to be long lived. But he pleased his public and deserved his popularity. His death will be sincerely mourned. The Benton Argus says: "The old settlers of the mountain predict a long, cold winter.
