Pierce, of Buf

"With a most
(thankful heart I
w- w 1 1 1 tell you
about the won
derful cure effected in her
case. She has been a per
feet wreck for seven lone
year. No words can describe what she has
Buffered. She could not sleep on account of
atyere pains. She tried every doctor around
here and spent hundreds of dollars without
benefit. After hearing of your wonderful
remedies I wrote to you. My mother has
taken 'six bottles of the 'Golden Medical
Discovery,' and six of the 'Favorite Pre
scription,' and is now perfectly cured.
Please receive the heartiest thanks and tiles
sings from my father and seven children for
saving the life of dear mother. May God
bless you and your Institution, Is the wish

Tens of thousands of women have found
complete and permanent relief from obsti
nate and seemingly incurable disease by
using the wonderful remedies referred to
above. The "Golden Medical Discovery"
possesses the peculiar property of nourish
Inar and vitalizing the blood with the life,
giving red corpuscles which build up
healthy flesh and muscular strength.
In the special weaknesses and diseases of
the feminine organs, the "I'avorite Pre
cription " is a perfect and positive specific.
It is the onlysclentiflc medicine prepared for
that purpose by an educated physician and
specialist in that particular field of practice.
Kor weak and nervous women these two
medicines taken conjointly constitute the
most marvelously successful course of treat
ment known to the medical profession.
Kor nearly 30 years Dr. Pierce has been

KEPT HIS NERVE
AND WON FREEDOM
One Northern Soldier's Daring Escape
from Llbby Prison.
TRUE ROMANCE OP TUB CIVIL WAR
How J.icutcnnntKupp, oftho Eighty
olglitli Pennsylvania Volunteers,
Pnsscd lllmsolf Oil ns u Itobcl In
Butternuts Who Wns Anxious to Got
a Look nt tho Ynnltoo's-A Penn
sylvania Dutchman's Clover I'.scnpo
nnd Sclf-Posscsslon in ."Unking It.
From tho New York Sun.
Lieut. Kupp of the Eighty-eighth
Pennsylvania Volenteers was captured
with many of his regiment, at Gettys
burg. He was known as u Pennsyl
vania Dutchmun nnd he came from
Berks county, where German colonists
settled nearly two centuries ago and
where their descendants cling to tho
old customs and the mother tongue
even unto this day.
As it was summer at the time of
Gettysburg, the men enptured in that
battle were In light attire, and the long
journey down to Richmond and the
wear and tear on their thin blouses
reduced thein to rags, and this Penn
sylvania Lieutenant seemed to be the
most ragged of all.
Kupp was considerably over six feet
in height, lank, long limbed, and in
clined to be round shouldered. Ho was
about 21 yeurs old, and the gray eyes,
long, dark hair, and fuzz-covered face
gave him tho appearance of a North
Carolina mountaineer. His comrades
jokingly called him "the .tar heel," but
he took It good naturedly. The re
semblance was much in his favor when
he made up his milnd to leavo Llbby,
and, to use his own language, " make
a bee line for God's land," as the pris
oners called the North.
The two subjects .that engrossed the
minds of the men were exchange and
escape. Nearly every day the repo.
spread that the exchange cartel nad
been resumed, and that the men were
to bo sent North under ilag of truce
within' twxjnty-our hours. On such
occassions groups of excited men would
rush through the six dlvlsilons of the
dark, dreary old warehouse, shouting
frantically:
"Pack up !Pack up! All exchanged!
Hurrah for God's land!"
NOT DISAPPOINTED.
Constant disappointment failed to
lessen these rumors, nor did It weaken
the hopes of the men who heard them.
Perhaps Kupp was an exception, for ho
never sot excited, was never stirred
from his stolid bearing by the cry of
"Pack 'ip!" "I have nothing to pack,"
he would hay with a grim smile, and
without raising his eyes from the bit
of yellow bono lie was trying to carve
into a crucifix with a broken jack
knife. Plans for escaping were daring and
Innumerable. Nearly all were Imprac
tical, yet, unknown to their oomiades,
twenty-live men, pledged to secrecy,
were at this time digging In the dark
ness tho great tunnel through which
subsequently 110 men escaped.
"When I get good and ready I'm go
lng to light out."
This Kupp would say to the men un
folding their schemes about him, but
as he lefuhed to tell how he proposed
getting away he was laughed at and
left to his bone-carving.
Just before Christmas the Confeder
ate authorities, who had refused to re
ceive supplies for the prisoners from
the United States government, per
mitted friends In the North to send
down a llttli food and clothing under
flag of truce Uniforms were contra
band, so that .11 the clothes that came
through were of the citizen style and
material.
Lieutenant Kupp received a huge!
box, full of hams, sausages, preserves,)
cheese, ana other goou things from the
old faim, but neither the memory of
past hunger nor fear of tho future pre-i
vented his Inviting the men who had
no boxes to help themselves. Of all
the things in the big box, the one that
most delighted Kupp's soul was a suit
of butternut clothes, evidently of home
manufacture, even to the cloth,
The lieutenant soon "shucked" his
blue rags, and donned the new suit.
Thus attired, he strode up and down
the "upper Potomac room," a hunk of
bread In one hand and a chunk of ham
In the other, while his laughing com
panions demanded to know when he
left "North Callny."
"Hit don't mattah we'en I left," re
sponded Kupp, with an inimitable
mountaineer drawl, "the thing that's
a-botherln' me now Is we'en an' how
Ize gwlne ter glt back."
IHS PLAN FORMED.
As old soldiers will remember, the
uniforms of tho Confederates were any
thing but uniform nt about this time.
Tho citizen clothing was put aside at
the beginning of the war was sent
to the front from home, though a. gray
hat, g:ay trousers, or a gray coat had
been retained whenever possible. Hun
dreds of Confederates in "butternuts"
passed tho prison along Carey street
every day, and many of the guards
about Llbby, and those who camo In
every morning to count the prlsoneis,
were dressed in the same material.
This prison roll call at this time was
more expeditious than efficient. Every
morning, In tho gray, cold dawn of that
bitterly cold winter, the Yankees wera
routed from the upper Potomac, or tip
per east room tho latter was tho name
given it by tho Confederates. Through
an opening In the wall the men wero
counted into the upper Chlckamauga, or
upper middle room, where they wero
free to do as they pleased within the
prescribed limits. The men at tho head
of the line, and they wero usually the
ones who had something to cook, made
a swift rush to the lower middle room,
where there were four old-fashioned
rusty kltch-en Moves.
When tho count was over and no Yan
kee reported missing, the guards filed
clown to the west ground floor room,
where "Black George." the sergeant,
and tho prison clerk, "Little Ross," re
ported to Major Turner, commandant
of tho prison.
Ono morning, it was early in Janu
ary, '61, and about ten days after ho
had received tho clothing from home,
It was noticed that Kupp, who was usu
ally among the first counted was the
very last, to the rear, and on th'ls occa
sion was the very last,
When Kupp camo Into the upper
Chlckamauga room, tho guard was
forming to go. Seizing the hand of
Captain Mans of his own regiment, who
stood near by, tho Lieutenant whisper
ed: "Good-by. Ed: I'm coiner to make n
'break for God's land."
As this was tho (lrst Intimation Cap
tain Mans had had nf his friend's pur
pose, ho was too much nstounded to
make a reply. The next Instant Kupp
had caught step and fallen in behind
the guard,
ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH IS WORTH
THAT MUCH.
To Anyone Airilctcd with Piles.
Tho Pyramid Pllo Cure, the new
painless remedy which has been so re
markably successful In curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and It Is safe to say that when
its extraordinary merit becomes ful
ly known, there will bo no such thing
as surgical operations for the cure of
this obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. M. C. Hlnkly of C01 Mississippi
St, Indianapolis, Indl, says: I had
been a terrible sufferer from the piles
for 1C years and no remedies bene
fitted me, until I saw an advertisement
of the Pyramid Pllo Cure; I got a
package, also a package of the Pyra
mid Pills and used both according to
directions. I wns nstontshed at the
Immediate lellef obtained nnd now 1
honestly believe tho Pyrnmld to be the
only certain cure for piles.
That you may rellze how bad I was,
I will say that I was confined to my
bed and went before the college physi
cians hero who said my case was a
new one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake to
cure;tho great pain hnd brought on a
ruptuic, nnd I knew an operation
would bo death to mo on account of
blood poisoning. Nearly everyone here
knows of my terrible suffering from
piles nnd I feel that I cannot praise
the Pyramid Pile Cure enough and tho
Pyramid Pills also. My husband will
Join me In highly recommending the
Pyramid, my daughter was cured by
one box only. For several years I
weighed but about 90 pounds, now I
weigh 130 nnd feel Inn perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; It Is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dls
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healing ef
fect from tho first application, and the
moderate price places it within the
reach of everyone needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 50 cents and $1.00 per package
and .the Pyramid Pills at 25 cents per
Send to Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich.,
for free book on cause and cure of
piles.
He kept safely to the rear until the
sergeant of the guard had reported to
the officer In charge. When tho guard
had passed the sentinel at the door,
Kupp walked over and saluted Turn
er, who by this time was seated at his
desk inside of a railing. Hearing the
shuffilng of feet on the floor, Turner
lcoked up and demanded:
"Who the devil are you?"
"I'm from North Callny," responded
Kupp.
"How did you get In here?"
"Follered the gad, an' I've been a
waitm to talk wld you.' Ain't yo'
MIstah Turnah?"
"That's my name. Now, what do
you want?" asked Turner, as he arose
angrily from the desk.
"I've ibeen in hospital, jest got out
yes-day, nn' though foah I left fo' tho
front I'd like to see the Yankee prlz
ners," bald Kupp.
"Go to the front, confound you. nnd
:.ou'U see more Yankees than you'll
ilko!" shouted Turner.
"Then thar ain't no show fo me to
see any of them Yanks I helped gobble
at Gettysburg or Chickmaugy?"
"No; get out!" and Turner pointed to
the door, where an armed guard stood
listening and laughing.
"Waal,, I didn't kno you tins was so
c. -sed particular," dn wled Kupp, as,
obe.ng the direction Indicated by
Turner's extended hand, ho made for
the door.
Kupp saluted the guard, who ex
changed winks with him as he passed
cut to freedom.
Once beyond the guard, a man of
ordinary neTve would have started off
with all speed, nor halted until Llbby
waM"far behind and even the steeples
of 'Richmond out of sight; but Kupp
was not an ordinary man. Standing
before tho entrance to the prison, the
lieutenant shouted in to Turner:
"Say, mistah, Iipv ye any objections
to a feller's standln' acrost the street
nn' kinder pcekin' up at the buildln'?"
Of course. Turner made no response,
but the guard continued down his post
and laughed, as if he thought the tall
man in butternuts a very funny fel
low, THE NEWS SPREADS.
Meantime the news of Kupp's escape
had spread among his late associates
Tho excitement was all the greater
from the fact that it had to be sup
pressed. Instead of glass there were
Iron bars In the front windows. Pris
oners wero not permitted to come with
in two feet of these bars. Of course,
all know the order, and that Captain
Forsyth of the One Hundredth Ohio,
had been killed a few days before for
unintentionally violating it, yet the
men forgot all about this In their anx
iety to see Kupp leave.
Tho lieutenant had evidently made
up his mind to gratify his comrades
behind the bars. Across Carey street
from the prison there was a vacant lot.
Kupp walked to the edge of the lot, sat
down on a log, and, taking out his
broken jacknlfe, began to whittle and
to Blgnal the men In his old room to
come out and join him.
The situation was intensely humor
ous, but at tho same time Intensely
painful to tho men watching Kupp
from the prison, but not daring to raise
tlielr voices In warning.
At length, to the great relief of all.
the lieutenant rose, stretched himself,
and yawned. Raising his slouched hat,
he shouted; "Good-bye, Yangs; hope
ter see yo' again. Then, with a long,
slouching stride, ho passed out of sight
to the east.
Tho next flag of truce boat brought
through a letter from Kupp. Five days
after leaving Llbby he fell in with
Butler's troopers from Fortress Mon
roe, and at tho time of vcrlting was
about to take passage for God's land.
Not tho Right King.
Mother "Daughter, unless I make mis
take, thero was something to what tho
young man told last evening."

fidences, mother, but It did have an en
gagement ring." Adams Freeman.
SONG AM) TI.Mi:.
Go, llttlo song where labor sleeps
When toll Is done; whero ecrrow keeps
Her midnight watch; whoro pity weep.
Go, whisper low that toll ana caro
And love abldo not everywhere;
That nothing lasts as nought has stood
Against tho downward-sweeping tlood
That sets to the dark deeps of time.
Nought lasts except o foolish rhynio
That men shout when the wine Is bright,
Or Klrla sing to tho rplndlo's Went,
Or women croon to babes at night
Whilo kingdom perish, faiths decay,
And men and boxIb nro swept away,
A sport of song, a wreck of rhymo
Floats on the eullon tide, of tlmo.
