joy of using the excellent substitutes
for coffee which abound on every hand.
The happiest heart is simple,
None dares to call it wise:
It sees the beauty of its life
With frank and truthful eyes;
It has a knack of loving,
It has a trustful way—
Oh, what a foolish heart is this,
The worldlier people say!
The happiest heart is childlike.
It never quite grows old:
It sees the sunset's splendor
As it saw the dawning's gold:
It has a gift for gladness,
Its dreams die not away—
Oh, what a foolish, happy heart,
The worldlier people say!
Letter to J. M. MeCollougli.

Dear Sir: Paint is one of the things
that Railroad Companies know all alwnt.
Do you know what "all about" means?
It means, in paint, where to get it.
We sell the paint for two-thirds of the
cars and stations and bridges and every
thing else, that railroad men want to keep
good-looking and sound, all over the
country.
A man who wants a gallon or two of
paint knows nothing about it, buys
whatever is handy, or gets some painter
to make it.
A Railroad Company asks its chemist:
"which is the best?"
The cheapest thing, to preserve or
beautify anything with, is paint. So
the whole world is painted: except, of
course, the part of it owned by poor
slow folks.
And the paint they use is people's in
telligence-meter: or ignorance-meter:
tells how much or how little they know.
Lead and oil has had its day. Devoe
lead and zinc is the paint, because it
wears twice as long.
Yours truly.

ACCIDENTS.
Renben Buck, an oil driller, employed
by Snyder & Son. of Beaver, whose
home is at Scrubgrass. Venango county,
was terribly injured last Saturday after
noon about 4 o'clock, at a well that was
being shot in the Mary Reed farm.
Economy township. In putting off a
shot the "go-devil" was thrown into the
air. and a piece of it. weighing about a
half a pound, in its descent struck Buck
on top of the head, penetrating the skull
over the left eye and burying itself in
the brain. The piece of iron remained
imbedded in his head for over two hours,
pending the arrival of Dr. J. R. Lock
hart. of Fieedom, who was summoned
and removed it, together with a con
siderable quantity of broken bone. The
frontal bone was also fractured.bat not
withstanding the serious nature of his
injuries Buck was still living next morn
ing. No hopes of his recovery are enter
tained. however. The well was shot by
C. M. Miller, of the Humes Torpedo
company, of Butler. —Beaver Times of
hist week.
Burton Fox, a deaf mute, was mis
taken for a burglar by Charles Fox cf
near Harrisville and shot in the knee,
a few nights ago.
A hotel porter. Tuesday morning,
thrashed a drunken man who kicked
over a wheel-barrow which the porter
had loaded.
Another version of the affair is that
the man fell into the cellar way in front
of the hotel, the door being left open by
the colored porter, who was cleaning
out rubbish. The porter struck the
fallen man twice with a club and then
attacked him wiih his fists. The man
hurt started for a Justices' office and
the porter for parts unknown.
A wagon containing 20 quarts of nitro
glycerine and driven by Frank Wini
ken, an oil driller, was upset in Middle
Island creek W. Ya., which was swollen
by a flood, last Friday. The cans col
lided with an obstruction and exploded,
killing the horses and sending back a
solid wall of water. The bed of the
stream for an instant was almost dry
for nearly 100 yards. Winikin was del
uged, but swam to shore unhurt.
By the burning of an old frame hotel
in St. Mary's W. Va., Tuesday, four
men lost their lives, among whom was
Samuel Cunningham, an oil driller,
of Butler Co.. Pa.
A. Hearn. an oiLoperator, dropped his
mattress from a second-story window
when all other avenues of escape had
been cut off by the flames, and then
jumped upon the mattress, escaped
without injury. Several other boarders
jumped from the windows of their rooms
and escaped with slight bruises.
The building was one of the oldest in
town. It was conducted as a hotel bv
Mrs. Kate G. Slater.
The lower floor was discovered to be
in flames about 2 o'clock. It is believed
the fire was caused by a natural gas
stove in the dining room becoming over
heated. Most of the guests saved only
their night clothes and such articles of
wearing apparel as they hastily snatch
ed.
A search was made for rhe bodies of
the missing men, which were found
charred and blackened beyond recogni
tion. Every room in the house was oc
cupied, some haying two or three
guests.
Another account gives the name of the
Butler Co. man, who was burned, as
John George.

THE TORN OF LIFE.
Its Probable Effect on Woman's
Health and Happiness.
Women look with apprehension upon
that time generally known a 9 the
" change of life." Observation has
shown them that sometimes that change
is so far-reaching that it involves both
mind and body in suffering. At such a
time the mirror sometimes shows great
changes in the face; changes which
mark the pain and suffering which are
being endured. Often, too, in these
dolorous days there is almost complete
physical collapse. The suffering woman
drops into a chair and with closed eyes
struggles against her weakness. The
suffering of this critical period in
woman's life often leaves its lasting scars
on the mind as well as the body. This
time of trial and trouble has been passed
in ease and happiness by women who
liad learned the wonderful value of that
woman's medicine. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. By the use of this remedy
THE "CHANGE" IS CHANCED
from a time of distress anil misery to a
time of comfort and happiness.
" It is now two years since I first began
to use your medicines," writes Mrs.
Charles E. Thompson, of Georgetown,
Eldorado Co., Cal. "I first tried the
' Favorite Prescription ' and found that
l>efore I had taken one l>ottle I was im
proving. When I commenced to take
the medicine I thought I would never
livt; through the ' change.' I suffered
from all the troubles one could have and
live. I had stomach trouble; lived on
dry bread and hot water for three
months, not being able to keep any food
on my stomach; had constipation and
awful headaches ; was bloated at times
in the l>owels, had pain in the chest and
hacking cough, but, thanks to Dr. Pierce
lam not troubled any more. I used the
' Pellets' and the 'Golden Medical Dis
covery ' in connection with ' Favorite
Prescription,' and find all of them just
as Dr. Pierce recommends them to be.
"Since last October I have traveled
over hard, rocky roads in farm wagons,
and felt no return of any of my old
troubles, and I know that before using
Dr. Pierce's medicines I could not have
stood half of it, as the least jar would
have caused aching from head to foot.
"I most highly recommend all of Dr.
Pierce's medicines, anil I hope all ladies
suffering from female complaint will try
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription."
The claim made for Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription that it makes weak
women strong and sick women well is
a comprehensive one and covers every
form of womanly weakness or sickness
which medicine can be expected to cure.
"Favorite Prescription" establishes reg
ularity and dries the offensive drains
which weaken women. It quenches the
fire of inflammation, heals the gnawing
ulcer, au4 cutei Utf bacjHK&e bear-
ing-dowu pains inseparable from fenialf
weakness. Mothers find in "Favorite
Prescription " a wonderful tonic, impart
ing great physical strength, promoting
the appetite and inducing refreshing
sleep. It keeps the prospective mother
in health ana strength and makes the
baby's advent practically painless.
CEAIMS VS. CURES.
It is very much easier to make claim®
than to make cure 3. It is by its cures
" Favorite Prescription " is to be judged
and by the multiplied testimonies to
these cures given by the grateful women
who have been restored to perfect health
and strength through the use of this
great medicine.
" About five years ago I had very poor
health," writes Mrs. S. E. Whalen, of
Holden. Johnson Co., Mo. "After doc
toring tour years -with our town doctors
they gave my case upj said they had
done all they could. I baa been con
fined to my bed half my time ; the other
half could hardly drag around. I had
such pains in my back and abdomen I
could not stand on my feet for more
than a few minutes. My feet were cold
or burning, and my periods came too
often. The doctors said it was change
of life, so, as I had heard of Dr. Pierce's
medicines, my husband got me a bottle
of 'Favorite Prescription.' I took it
and it heiped me in some ways, so I
wrote to you and followed your advice.
I commenced * Favorite Prescription,'
• Golden Medical Discovery' and the
'Pleasant Pellets,' as I was so consti
pated all the time and pills would
weaken me so that I would have to go
to bed. To the great surprise of every
body I got well, and when I met my
friends they would say ' I never thought
you would be here now.' But I can say
it was your medicine, which no doubt is
the best in the world. Have no use for
doctors since I tried your medicine."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
purely a vegetable preparation and can
not disagree with the weakest constitu
tion. It contains no alcohol and is abso
lutely free from opium, cocaine, and all
other narcotics.
Accept no substitute for « Favorite Pre
scription " if you wish to be cured as
others have been. Insist upon the remedy
with a record for the cure of weak and
sick women.
Women suffering from disease in
chronic form are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence is held as strictly private and
sacredly confidential and the written
confidences of women are guarded by
the same strict professional privacy ob
served in personal consultations. Ad
dress Dr. R. V. Tierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel ana
Surgical Institute, BufTalo, N. Y.
" FOREWARNED—FOREARMED."
That saying has a most forceful appli
cation to'matters relating to disease and
health. To be forewarned against dis
ease, to know its cause and its cure, is to
arm the health beforehand against many
maladies. Dr. Tierce's Common Sense
Medical Adviser is a book of forewarn
ing. It teaches how to protect and pre
serve the health. This valuable work,
containing 1008 large pages and over
700 illustrations, is sent free on receipt
