I have never been a whaling where the

But I’ve tender recollections of those
days in boyhood’s spring
When mother did the whaling and I
the blubbering.

placing the separate cars, while the
coach. that has been added is -of latest
design. The equipment will be new,

with its new equipment in a few weeks.

feet above the ground, will be erected
at St. Louis to advertise to the world
one of the natural resources of West
Virginia. The Black Diamond shaft
will represent the 22 workable veins of
onl found in the mountains. Each

original vein from which the coal was
| taken, and each vein will be placed in
its relative order,

nated so that it can be seen for a dis-
tance of 12 miles. The shaft, together
with the lumber exhibit, will. cost $90,-
000. The state appropriated $50.000
and the rest is to be paid by individu-
als, mostly coal men. The entire West
Virginia exhibit is practically ready
for erection.
On a crowded Eighth street car, sev-
eral days ago, a tired passenger, who
was trying to steady himself without
holding a strap, fell bockwards at a
sudden stopping of the car, and drop-
ped into the lap of a young woman. He
arose and apologized profusely, and
was just turning away from the angry
woman when the car stopped again.
The man again lurched, and again fell
into the woman’s lap. .
“What kind of a man are you, any-
way?” she snapped at him.
“I’m an Irishman,” he replied, “and
I’m proud of it.” :
“Maybe you are,” retorted the wom-
an, “but you act like a Lap-lander.”

Electricity in Thawing Water Pipes,
The Paint Township Water Company
now employs the latest scientific meth-
od of thawing out frozen water pipes,
substituting electricity for the much
here-to-fore hard work. An electric
appliance is hauled to the point where
the pipes are frozen, and by a current
of electricity which is forced over the
pipe the ice in the conduits is melted
within a few minutes. This method
means the saving of considerable dig-
ging and thawing. This is certainly a
fast age in which we live.—Windber
Era.
HAPPY, HEALTHY CHILDREN.
Any child can take Little Early
Risers with perfect safety. They are
harmless, never gripe or sicken, and
yet they are so certain in results that
robust constitutions requiring drastic
means are never disappointed. They
cannot fail to perform their mission
and every one who uses DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers prefers them to all other
pills. They cure biliousness. Sold .by

WELL AGAIN.
The many friends of John Blount
will be pleased to learn that he has en-
tirely recovered from his attack of
rheumatism. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
cured him after the best doctors in the
town (Monon, Ind.) had failed to give
relief. The prompt relief from pain
which_ ‘this liniment affords ‘is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale

DO YOU WANT STRENGTH?
If you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from the
physical. In other words, the food
that you eat must be digested, assimi-
lated and appropriated by the nerves
blood and tissues, before being expelled
from the intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure adds to the physical It gives
strength to and builds up strength in
the human system. It is pleasant to
the taste and palatable, and the only
combination of digestants that will di-
gest the food and enable the system to
with the railroad of-
appropriate all of its health and
strength-giving qualities. Sold by E.

READ IT THROUGH.
’TWOULD SPOIL THIS 8TORY TO TELL IT IN
THE HEADLINES.
To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an “o’er- true tale.” Having
happened in a small Virginia town in
the winter of 1902, it is a story very
much of the present. Up to a short
time ago Mra. John E. Harmon, of Mel-
fa Station, Va., had no personal knowl-
edge of the rare curative properties of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. “Last
January,” she says, “my baby took a
dreadful cold and at one time I feared
she would have pneumonia, but one of
my neighbors told me how this remedy
had cured her little boy, and I began
giving it to my baby at once and it soon
cured her. I heartily thank the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy for placing so great a cure
within my reach. Icannot recommend
it too highly or say too much in its
favor. I hope all who read this will
try it and be convinced as I was.” For
sale by E. H. Miller. 4-1
A Strange Story of One Effect of the
Bradenville Explosion.
Joseph Brack, of Bradenville, tells a
curious story of the explosion of the
Kerbaugh magazine on March 5th. He
| was driving to Millwood at the time,
and the concussion knocked him from
the wagon upon the horse’s back. Up-
on recovering his senses, Brack found
that every spoke in the wheels of his
wagon had been broken, every screw
forced out, and the endgate had been
thrown over 100 fest.
TRAGEDY AVERTED.
“Just in the nick of time our little
boy was saved,” writes Mrs. W. Wat-
kins of Pleasant City, Ohio. “Pneu-
monia had played sad havoc with him
and a terrible cough set in besides.
Doctors treated him, but he grew
worse every day. At length we tried
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump-
tion, and our darling was saved. He's
now sound, and well” Everybody
ought to know, it’s the only sure cure
for Coughs, Colds and all Lung dis-
eases. Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, the
Druggist. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial
bottles free. 4-1
