Edward YII and Harriet Lane.
"Duriug the Prince of Wales's
stay in Washington (upon the oc
casion of his visit to America, in
1860,)hewasPresideutBuchanan's
guest and occupied apartments
of the Executive Mansion lookiug
over Lafayette Square," -writes
Wm. Perrine, in the May Ladies'
llomeJournal. "One evening when
an elaborate display of fireworks
was give in his honor he stood
on the balcony of the White House
together with Mr. Buchauau and
Miss Lane, amidst great cheers.
When dining with his host he
would escort Miss Lane to the
table, seating himself at her
right. His manner was some
what bashful, and most public
ceremonies apparently bored him.
But while he was with Miss Lane
and the coterie of beautiful wom
en of her set was noticed that for
the first time since he had been
in this country he seemed to show
the manner of a gallant young
gentleman desirous of pleasing.
One of the merriest mornings
she had with him was at a gymna
sium in Washington attached to a
female seminary. On the brass
rings suspended from the ceiling
he swung himself one by one
across the room, and the whole
party laughed heartily at his
pranks on the rope ladder. Then
he fell to playing tenpins. Miss
Lane and the Prince together
succeeded in conquering Mrs.
Thompson and the Duke of New
castle; it was next the turn of the
victors to play against each other
and Harriet, who was one of the
most robust girls of the day,
speedily outbowled the Prince and
put his muscle to shame. "
"I have been suffering from
Dyspepsia for the past twenty
years und have been unable after
trying all preparations and phy
sicians to get any relief. After
taking one bottle of Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure I found relief and
am now in better health than I
have been for twenty years. I
can not praise Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure too highly," thus writes
Mrs. C. W.Roberts.North Creek,
Ark. Trout's drug store.
Skipping the Pages.
It was the small boy of the
family who announced with
thoughtful air at the dinner table
that he could get along much
faster at school if only he could
skip some of the pages in his les
son book; they didn't seem to be
of much use. "Sometimes I do
it," he confessed; "only 'most al
ways when 1 get on a ways I find
I have to know 'em anyway.
"It's likely the ones who made
the books were wiser than you,
little man. They knew what you
would be sure to need," laughed
his grandfather. But his smile
grew tender a? he watched the
young student pick up his books
and sally forth again. "It is only
what we all are trying to do, we
older scholars as well as the little
ones " he said. "There are so
many hard pages in life's book
that we would gladly skip. They
often seem useless and meaning
less,as if chance or cruel caprice,
instead of loving wisdom, had put
them there; but I suspect that we
shall find 'farther on' that there
' was not a single needless lesson
among them all, not one page that
could have been spared."
"Our little girl was unconscious
from strangulation during a sud
den and terrible attack of croup.
I quickly Becurcd a bottle of One
Minute Cough Cure, giving her
three doses. The croup was
mastered and our little darling
speedily, recovered" So writes A,

A Remarkable Machine.
The enterprising harness mak
er, Mr. tl. Li. J orris, 01 Three
Springs, has recently purchased
a Landis hard wax, lock stitch
harness machine costing $300.00.
After ten years of actual exper
imenting by the inventor, this
machine was first placed on the
market about seven years, ago
and therefore is no experiment.
It has been improved from year
to year since that time until it
has reached such a state of perfec
tion that it does better work than
it is possible to do by, hand.
As compared with hand work
the machine uses a smaller awl,
larger and stronger thread, twice
as much hard wax which is melt
ed and pumped into tho stitches
making them water proof, more
stitches to the inch and every
stitch pulled tighter than it is
possible by hand.
A man sewing by baud pulls
the thread through hole after hole
in the leather thus weakening the
thread with each stitch taken be
fore it finds its place in the com
pleted work, whereas the machine
uses anew piece of thread for
each and every stitch.
Buyers of harness on first
thought consider all machine
made harness as being factory
harness, but this is not right, as
there is a vast difference between
factory made harness and har
ness made on a Landis machine
in Mr. Norm's shop, because
Mr. Norris uses better stock and
will exercise greater care in se
lecting the best part of the leath
er for parts of tho harness sub
jected to the greatest strain; he
will also use better thread and
give closer attention than tho fac
tory to the details which go to
make a first class harness.
Mr. J. II. Hammond, represen
tative of the Landis Machine Co.,
says he has a standing offer to
forfeit $1,000 if harness made on
the Landis machine will not out
wear nana work when the same
stock is used. The general pub
lic Is respectfully invited to call
at Mr. Norris's shop and see this
machine work.
Why Buclianan Sever Married.
"Mr. Buchanan, who was the
first bachelor elected to the Pres
idency, was sixty-five years of
age when elected, and had delib
erately given himself to a life of
celibacy," writes William Per
rine, in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. "In the days when he
was a young lawyer of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, he had loved Miss
Coleman, a beautiful daughter of
a citizen of that town. They had
been engaged to be married when
one day ho was surprised to re
ceive from her a request to re
lease her from the promise. Ac
cording to Mr. George Ticknor
Curtis, the separation originated
in a misunderstanding on the
part of the lady, who was unusu
ally sensitive, over some small
matter exaggerated by giddy and
indiscreet tongues. Soon after
the entrangement she was sent
to Philadelphia, and there died
suddenly. Throughout the rest
of his life, or for neatly half a
century, Mr. Buchanan is not
known to have revealed to any
body the circumstances of the ro
mantic tragedy. He would only
say that it had changed his hopes
and plans, and had led him more
deeply than ever into politics as a
distraction from his grief. In
his old age, long after he had re
tired permanently from private
life, he called attention to a pack
age containing, he said, the pa
pers and relics which would ex
plaiu the causes of his youthful
sorrow, and which he preserved
evidently with the idea of reveal
ing them beforo his death. But
when he died, and his will was
read, it was found that he had di
rected that the package should be
burned without being opened,and
his injunction was obeyed."
Shudders At His Past.
"I recall now with horror,"
says Mail Carrier Burnett Maun
of Levanna, O., "my three years
of suffering from Kidney trouble.
I was hardly ever free from dull
aches or acute pains in my back.
To stoop or lift mail sacks made
mo groan. I felt tired, worn out,
about ready to give up, when I
began to use Electric Bitters, but
six bottles completely cured me
and made me feel like anew man."

Williams' Grove Not Abandoned and Grangers'
Picnic to be Bigger Tban Ever.
We are authorized to state that
the rumors going the rounds of
the papers that' Williams' Grove
is to be abandoned on account of
tho destruction of property by
the recent fire there, is unwar
ranted and without foundation,
On the contrary designs are now
being prepared by the Cumber
land Valley Railroad for buildings
to replace those that were burned
and work will be rushed through
with all possible expedition. A
new Dancing Pavillion will be
erected of convenient character
and size. The Pagoda will be re
built and greatly enlarged.giving
greater accommodations at this
attractive portion of tho Grove.
Tho Grangers' Picnic will not die
out or be burned out,but Phoenix
like, rising from the ashes of the
past, will be bigger and greater
than ever. Application for space
already made, indicates this.
If people only knew what we
know about Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, it would be used in nearly
every household, as there are few
people who do not suffer from a,
fueling of fullness after eating,
belching, flatulence, sour stom
ach or water brash, caused by in
digestion or dyspepsia. A prep
aration, such as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, which, with no aid from the
stomach, will digest your food,
certainly can't help but do you
good. Trout's drug store.

Free Farms for 60,000 People.
Washington, May 22. Theprep
paration of all the papers relating
to the opening of the Kiowa and
Comanche reservation is complet
ed, and it will not be long after
the President returns to Washing
ton beforo the proclamation will
bo issued that will give between
50,000 and 00,000 farms to the
people who are lucky enough to
get them. "Lucky" is a good
word to use in this connection, as
the right to take a claim of 100
acres will depend on chances en
tirely. Those who want these
lauds will have their names drawn
from a box, uud take their turn
according to the" result. Tho
Land Office is receiving inquiries
from all parts of the United
States aud from Euglaudaud Ire
laud for information about this
land, and the chances to buy it at
If 1.25 an acre. As only citizens
of tho United States are eligible
to take tho lands, there is no hope
for those worthy people abroad
who want to come where they can
get good lauds cheap. There aro
probably five iutecding settlers
on record as applicants to every
one that in the end will succeed in
getting a farm.
If Carnegie would compel his
wicked partners to sell steel ut
the same price in this country
that they get for it abroad ho
would do his fellow citizens a
much, greater service than . is
possible by endowing colleges in

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY
Johnston's Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIH DANGER EVERYWHERE."
A WUo and Venerable Doctor Talk. about Advanced Science.
In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers
ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well
dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men aud commercial travelers.
My firm belief, is "that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis
eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ
tams. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here Is the bacillus
of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which
causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of thbt very
common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh."
" I wish, Doctor," said the traveling man, " that you would tell us about
catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged. "
The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid
fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul aud most disgusting
disease Is especially prevalent' in the United States and it is rare to meet one
who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or
she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves
of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca
tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to
himself and his friends.
" I believe," continued this great physician, "that the true way to heal ca
tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done -only by powerful alteratives
which act as blood purifiers."
lietsy A. Murett, of Manistee, Manistee'Co., Mich., writes:
Dear Sirs: For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic
catarrh. My face was pain as death. I was weak and. short of breath, I could
hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My
hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up
in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. 1 had
awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness.
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to huve
a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The diMi
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I hud given up all hope of eer get
ting welL I tried" the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief.
My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's- Harsaparilla. I took it, and then I
bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in
health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was r
frenhing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I
kept on taking it, aud now oonsider myself a well and rugged woman. I work
all the time, aud am happy. I am positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life.
The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca
tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's
Barsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head
aches to use your HarssparUla.
