it was past noon, but now hunger remind
ed them that their mother had Irft for

aoon they were t-6ted on the doorstep,
munching their dinner.
Thin plan of yoking up the cairea
would have been instantly condemned
by the father had he leen at home, fur,
in the C'st place, the heifers were too
young, and in the second place, they
were iot-nded for milch cons and not
for beas: of burden, Sat it did not occur
to the boys that he mould ol j -ct.
The little animals were docile and
tractable enough ; indeed, they were pr

He did not dare to jump for fear the
train on bis back would kill him. The
f.iil Vi, be cvj!d never atand the
fall ! To waffer again that way to know
that horrible pain for weeka and weeks,
to he in one position day and night and
endure again that awful anguish the
very thought of it blanched hia delicate
face and sent a thrill of dread and terror
to his heart.
Tne mad beifera did not halt nor
slacken their rpeed. ' But presently they
gave a Bharp turn and plunged into tke
corn.
The sadden movement overturned the
wagon and Jerry waa aent tumbling from
his seat to the ground.
He fell heavily and lay quite still.
The overturning of the wagon threw
one of tbe calves on its aide, where it
as pinned down by the tongue, and
this performance brought an end to the
runaway.
Bru. reached Jerry a side hatleae and
breathless, and his heart almost atopped
beating a he lent anxiously above the
whit-, inanimate figure of his brother.
"U-i, Jerry !" he cried. "Oa. Jerry !
are you hurt T On, it'a awful! I'm afeard
be' killed! O.i, Jerry, open youreyea
f.jien your eye, Jerry !"
Bru was almowt frantic In a few
moments J.-rry opened h ia eyea, other,
wise he did not wove.
"Ar jou hurt much. Jerry?" Bruce
asked azam and again. Finally Jerry
answered :
"I reckon not."
Then a strange thing happened. Jerry
got up on hia feet aad stood straight aa
straitrht aa he used to stand befor be was
tn ron from the horse; straight like
Brut!
The fall, instead of injuring him anewf
had done a wonderful thing for him. It
ha 1 somehow strained the cords of hia
back, or j.-rked them into their normal
pon.tion.aud he was acripple no longer;
weak and faint, but a cripple no longer.
Bruce carried him en hia back to the
house, w here be put him upon the Vied
and then went to the relief of the calves.
One of them had scrambled to her, feet
and the other lay flat on ber side under
the cart tongue. Both were once more
in a very meek mood, and Bruce had
little ditiiculty in releasing them and
leading theca back to the cow pen.
When their parenta came home they
were told all alout the dreadful event of
the day, w hich, strantrely enough, had
re.-tulted happily instead of fatally.
"So you thought it would be a good
joke to break the heifers while your pa
an 1 ma were away?" said E3";et laugh
ing. "I should think the joke is on you.
But they all rejoiced over Jerry'a won-

Confidence!
Yes, public confidence, that's the key
note of our successful advertising. The
day for fooling the public ia pas , and we
wouldn't do it if we could. Consumers
are never "fooled" whej they buy Klein's
celebrated "silver Age" or Duquesne
Byes." These famous brands of absolutely
pure w hisky are now known and sold
everywhere from the Atlantic to the
Pactiic slope. Every day swells the long
list of customers. Why? Because the
whiskies named stand solely on their
merits. Leading physicians ail overthe
'and iadorae and prescribe them pretty
conclusive evidence that the goods are
just as represented the purest and best
obtainable. A poor whisky is never
cheap, but always injurious. You take
no chances in ordering "Silver Age" or
' Duquesne," which sell respectively at
f 1.50 and i 1.25 per full quart. Packages

The Causes of Cobwebs.
The celebrated English poet Dryden,
had a w ife who was ambitious to write
poetry as her husband fx she abut her
self up in ber apartments to compose
verses. Sad to say, the servants took ad
vantage of her absence to neglect their
work, and Dryden was mortified to be
obliged to receive h ts friends in a room
which plainly showed their carelessness.
"Mrs. Dryden," cried he, in a rage.,
a.'ier the gentlemen had gone. "I desire
you wil write no more poetry, madam."
"Why, so. my dear?'' asked the good
humored lady.
"Because," cried he, "I notice when,
cvwr we both write poetry at the same
time the spiders immediately begin to
spin cobwtlis." Harprr'i Yovng VtopU.

Preventon is Better
Than cure, and those who are subject to
rheumatism can prevent attacks by keep
ing the blood pure and free from the acid
which causes the disease. For this pur
P"S3 Hood's Sarsaparilla ia used br thou
sands with great succeoa It i the best
blood purifier.
Constipation is caused by loss of the
peristaltic action of the bowels. Hood's
Pills restore thia action and invigorate
the liver.
Uncle Josh came dow n from Ibe inte
rior of the State to spend Christmas with
hU friends in the city. What surprised
him most ws the greediness ofbisyoung
nephew.
"How is it, Johnny, he asked, as be
sat at dinner, "that you always like to
help yourself best?"
"Because," returned th little fiend,
with his mouta full, T o sure to get
more."
The Best Authorities.
Such a Dr. Dio Lewis, Trof. Gross,
and others, agree that catarrh is not a
local bnt a constitutional disease. It
therefore requires a constitutional remedy
like Hood's Sarsapsrilia which effectually
and permanently cures catarrh. Thous
ands praise it.
Hood's Tills cure liver ills, jaundice,
biliousness, sick headache, constipation
and all troubles of the digestive organs.
