Here Is n P.oldinl story which (toes tc

to constant criticism even from hit

The original feature of the canvas ll
a walking stick held at n rather ncntt
angle against the right knee, and th
whole effect is very somber. Whlstlei
asked I?11 1 uI what he thought of It
Holdinl leaned forward and said:
"He'll surely miss It. He'll never gel
him."
"Miss what? Get whom?" naked

Cryolite Sllnlnnr.
The mining of cryolite, or "Ice that
never melts." ns the Eskimos call It,
Is the chief Industry of Greenland.
Greenland has the distinction of con
taining tlie only workable deposit of
this mineral In the world. Small quan
tities of cryolite have lieon found at
Minsk, In the T'ral mountains, nnd a
traco was found at Tike's peak. In
Colorado. The man who reported the
find at Tike's peak to a capitalist was
Informed that If he could produce a ton
he could secure $1."0 fur It. The mon
ey was never paid. The value of the
mineral lies In the fact that from it
may be obtained sal soda, or carbonate
of soda, bicarbonate of soda, alum and
caustic soda at n cost below that of
securing these products from any other
source.

Thompson's Barosma Kidney
and Iiver Cure.
Is not only performing wonderful cures,
as the following statements will prove,
but all the cures have been permanent,
there being no return of the disease or
any of the symptoms even after a lapse
of many years.
I was bloated and short of breath,
making it very laborious for me to
walk. I suffered pain in my back and
sides. My stomach was also very sore
and throbbed with pain. I was told I
had kidney trouble and enlargement of
the liver and spleen. I finally began
ti.ing Thompson's Harosnia and the
first bottle reduced the measurement
around my stomach from forty Inches
to thirty-six inches, and several bottles
completely cured me. I gladly recom
mend It to others. This was five years
ago. M. S. LANG'vVrjRTHY, Tryon
villo, Ta
E. O. Owen, a prominent resident of
Troy Centre, Pa writes: "Ever since I
an rememher, for 20 years or more, my
back troubled me, caused by Inflam
mation of my stomach and liver first,
then my kidneys became Involved. At
times the pain became excruciating.
Having used a laile number of so-called
cures, I finally found a complrte cure In
Thompson's liarosma, several bottles
reducing all Inflammation and conse
quently curing the pain. Thanks to
Rarsoma, I have been perfectly well for
two years. My wife's health has great
ly Improved by taking Barosma. She
has gained in weight and the yellow
tint to her skin has been replaced by a
fresher and healthier color."
