A PECULIAK MAN.
Hla Kmme Wan Lncarna, and He Had
a I'rrnlinr Experience.
"In one of my voyages from Cupe
Town to England," writes a traveler,
''I shared my cabin with a peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. IIo
made me promise that If lie should (lie.
(luriug the voyage I would prevent his
lmrlnl at sea. lie said that on n pre
vious voyage lie had fallen sick and
was taken for dead aud put Into a sack
for burial. A quartermaster had been
put on to watch the body until It wns
time for the funeral. When the b'irlal
party arrived the quartermaster In
formed the captain that he thought the
body lrnd moved In the sack. The sack
was opened, nnd Lnznrus eventually
came to lifo ogaln. Such was the
story Lazarus told me. Lazarus was
'n thin man with n sallow face. IIo
had an enormous appetite and appear
ed nt every meal, to which he devoted
his whole energies. The good feeding
only seemed to add to his corpselike
.appearance. One evening, sure enough,
when we were about halfway to our
voyage's end, he apparently died again.
The doctors took him In charge this
tlnfe, however, and he came out of his
trance without any shotted sack epi
sode, lie was met at the London
docks by a number of relatives and
friends, all of whom looked as If they
might be suffering from the same com
plaint." JUST EIGHT YEARS APART.

local cemetery told hLs lot ealeeman
to call on Crust and see if he couldn't
work off a cemetery lot on him.
The Bailsman set out with a hope
less air, and In a half hour he waa
back again.
'No go,' he said.
'Couldn't get him, eh?" eald the
superintendent.
' 'No,' eald the ealeeman. 'He ad
mitted that I reasoned well, and that
the loU were fine ones, but he said
that If he bought he mightn't get the
value of his money In the end.'
'Why,' said the superintendent,
there's no fear of that. The man
will die some day, won't he?'
" 'Yes,' said the salesman, 'but he
aays he might be lost at sea.' " Col

of an expected curtain call he lid not

Florence produced a new play:
"We thought the play was going to
be a great success," said Mr. Jeffer
son, "and we also thought that we'd
be called before the curtain for
speech. So Florence and I got to
gether and framed a few remarks, and
to make them extemporaneous we
agreed on the following: Whenever
I made one of the remarks Florence
was to look greatly surprised, and I
in turn was to be surprised when
Florence said something. We ro-
hearsed our few remarks until we had
them letter perfect. The night of the
new play around and everything went
along all right, except that neither
Florence nor myself was called upon
to speak." Philadelphia Press.

away on his search. To the surprise
of all, he returned In less than half
an hour, leading the missing horse
by a rope tied round his neck.
'Well, well!" said Jones, as he

EMEDY
Breaks no Hearts. Excuses

Dr. Dnvld Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
ED Y is not a disguised enemy of the human
nice; whofo it cannot help, it does not
harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre
dients and docs not heat or inflame the
Mood but cools and purifies it. In all cases
of Kidney trouble, Liver complaints, Con.
stipation of the liowcls, and the delicate
derangements which afllict women, the ac
tion of Dr. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is boyond praise. Thousands of
grateful peuplo voluntarily testify to this,
in letters to Dr. Kennedy j nnd with a
warmth and fullnesM of words which mere
business certificates never possess. It
makes no drunkards excuses no crimes
breaks no hearts. In its coining there is
hopo, and in ltn wings there is healing.
We challenge a trial aud are confidont of
tho result. Your druggist has it. ONE
