The reason we do not respond to these calls is, that a few doses of the proper Specific is apt to cure the most serious illness, and a quarter of a Dollar is a small risk to secure restored health.

Mountaineers of Kentucky Make It Unique. A college commencement, whlcb besides possessing the rural acade mic solemnity, partakes ot the na ture of a county fair and a county court day Is one of the annual features at Berea College The Institution Is In the bordorlnui between the Kentucky IlUie Grass re gion and tho Cumberland Mountains, and to It come early ench June some rive or six thousand men, women and children of the strongly individual types develoo-jd bj the Independent life of that region. Ot commencement day tho usually qulot college campus becomes a tethorlng fcroun.:'. for thousands of horses, snd Is almost choked with wagons which, with hickory chairs for seats, have .brought whole fami lies frori the blue bills over unspeak able roads, with buggies and smarter turn ju is from the more prosperous lilue Grass farms. While the srad u tloa ceremonies are being carried on In a great "tabernacle" built for use on that one day of the year only, horse swapping, electioneering, dick ering over wood and land deals, wli innumerable family reunions and un limited gossip, are going on outside, and booths which dispense the usual concoctions of a circus do n rushing business, their wares being almost unknown In the mountains and be ing, therefore, greatly desired. Just why those thousands, many of whom have little Interest In the 'ollcge or the students, slioulj gather on Its campus annually, his never been explained, but the crowds have been there since the Civil War days and In about the same number In the old days It often happened that feudsmtn who had successfully avoids- meeting at homo would ci v.ce upon each other In the throng, ar t then there would be a sudden scattering of the crowds to the shel ter cf the tree trunks and wagons till one man went down. But ot late years the peaceful Influence of the place has made Itself felt, and now there la seldom even a case of "drunk and cisorderl." The tssembly remains, howeveV the greatest drawing card in Eastern Kentucky, and many a wagonload of men nd women comes to it over a hundred miles of mountains, ford ing streams and walking up hills which are too steep for the horses' strength, often spending two or three days on the road. As they near the towns they find the hospita ble homes filled to overflowing, and on the nights before and after tte great day parties may be seen encamped along the great pikes lead, ing into the hllis and often on the campus ltselt. One girl living fifty miles from Berea, was found awndering around the college buildings one commence ment morning, nnd was taken in tow by a girl student. In the course of the disjointed conversation it came out that she had kept a four-acre plot ot corn hoed all spring in order to earn her transportation to town. She was asked why she wanted to come so badly. "Oh, hit seemed like I'd never git c t other chunct to see the world," was the response, and the girl seemed satisfied as she started home that night. Lincoln's Last Day. "I got into the White House be fore 9 o'clock, not with the expecta tion of seeing Mr. Lincoln so early, but with the hope that I might get a place at the head of the line and be the first to see him. To my sur prise I was told that he would see me at once. "I found him alone. As I entered the door he got up quickly and strode across the room toward me, saying as he came: "Hello, Creswell! The war la over!" He grasped my hand with the enthusiasm of a schoolboy and repeated tho exclamation, "The war la over!" adding: 'Look at that telegram from Sherman.' The mes sage assured the President of the cul mination of the Carollnas. Indeed, It waa glorious news. Many times with a spirit that was delightful to see, Mr. Lincoln exclaimed: 'The war la over!' Then he woulld atop, grow aerloua and add. 'But it has been an awful war, Creswell, It has been an awful war! But It 1b over!' "When he could leave the theme that was first in his mind and heart, ne exclaimed: 'But what are you after? You fellows dont come to see me unless you want something. It must be something big, or you wouldn't be so early.' I told him my errand and handed him my affi davit He said: 'That's not so hard. Tou did right to put it In writing. I don't care to read the statement. I know you know how to make affi davits.' "Then," said Gen. Creswell, "he took my affidavit and wrote a brief word upon It, something like this Do this. A. L.,' and gave It to me. I carried It over to the War Office aad after the usual fuaa got the or der issued. Then I went out into Maryland to attend to some business through the day, and got back Into the olt late at night to find every thing In an uproar over the assassi nation." Glaum dure Pit. Satiable eyeglasses are reported to have recently eured a victim of. se vere epileptic attacks after he had undergone two surgical operatlous with no relief. The patient's own conviction that his eroa had some thing to do with his trouble waa en tirely disregarded as qole oontrarj to all previous experience. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The Democratic National Con vention, now in session at Denver, Colorado, will nominate William Jennings Bryan for President. Who will be named for Vice President, is uncertain. One of the actions of the conven tion was to overthrow Col. J. M. Otifley as leader of the Pennsylva nia Democracy, and 'to defeat him as member of the National Com mittee. The direct cause of this was Guffey's open opposition to Mr. Bryan 111 the state convention. It was asserted by his opponents that he has used the party for his personal ends, and that he betrayed them in 1906. Mr. Guffey has pro vided nearly all the campaign funds for the party in this state for the past twelve years. ... .. . A 62-Story Building. Equitable Life Skyscraper to bs 900 Feet High.
