The Colonel
Talks
You are a Virginian, suh, I
perceive. Permit me to intro
duce myself. I was watching
ybu a9 you tasted your oysters,
suh.' Taste like home, don't
they? You never before found
one north of Mason and Dixon's
line that made your mouth water
like these Sealshipt oysters, did
you?
They're the real thing, suh.
They have the genuine salt water
tang that makes people who
have lived near the coast just
homesick to get back where the
oysters grow. Yet I've opened
them right on the beach where
they were unloading them and
they weren't a bit fresher or
more luscious than these.
Give you my word as a gentle
man, suh, I can't believe these
Sealshipt oysters are bulk
oysters. They taste of the shell.
I come here almost every day to
get oysters with the sea flavor.

For Nervous, Over-worked
and "Run Down" Women
Women in an exhausted, nervous state, due to over-work, continuous
social functions or a general "run down" condition of health, often wonder
why tonics and emulsions fail to benefit them. The reason is plain.
Tonics and emulsions are good in their place, biit they cannot build up the
body until the nen'es have been toned and quieted.
There's only one remedy that can restore health to women in this ex
hausted, nervous condition, because it acts directly upon the nerves.
Americanitis Elixir
is the only remedy of its, kind in existence. As. its name implies, it's a
specific for the peculiar exhausted nervous conditions resulting from the
continuous rush and tension under which Americans live. This remedy
fills an important gap in the line of medicines.
Rexall Americanitis supplies to the body just those elements which
Nature cannot supply in sufficient quantities to meet the unnatural drain
upon the nervous system.
Phosphorus in soluble form is the basis of this splendid nerve food.
Thousands of women have been saved from nervous prostration by the
prompt use of Rexall Americanitis. To all conditions of nervous derange
merit, exhaustion and debility it brings permanent relief.

. A DAM BUILT ON END.
Aow Clever Encino.-r Conquered a
Mechanical Oi iioulty.
Almost every boy has built lo ens
of dams In various ways, o'lKlnx lug
thiMii across the beit of tho channel,
wide or uuirow, to be dammed. I!ut
did any boy ever think of building a
dam on end and then tipping It over?
An Inventive American engineer, lsliam
Unmlolph. who became Illinois by his
work on the I'lilcngo drainage ciimiiI.
has tr;et this Idea on tile Macira river
LMH) yards above the IIor.-teMli.ie fall ami
made a remarkable success of it.
Of course an ordinary dam could not
easily be built In Ihe llercely racing
currents of Niagara hurrying to plunge
ovei' the fall. 80 Mr. Unmlolph decided
,to build his dam on end on the very
edge of till) river. It was not meant to
do more than raise the water level a
few Inches, so its to prevent water
scarcity In winter for the Canadian
town of Niagara K.nlls when the Ice
Jam comes on. A dam seven feet or so
high was enough and lll'ty feel lone
Turned on cud, tills meant a column
lll'ty feet high and seven feet four
Inches square. The clever engineer
used concrete as the cheapest, easiest
and least corrosive material. Rut any
column of any material was certain to
break in the shock of falling- How
was that to be provided for?
Easily enough, the Inventive builder
argued. Up the middle of the eoncreto
column, like a huge, backbone, he ran
a strong Iron chain weighing about Hi s)
pounds. The whole column weighed
some 2D0 tons. At intervals eight feet
apart all the way up It along the land
ward face wooden wedges were Insert
ed, so that In breaking it would follow
these lines and' break Into regular
blocks, held together by the clialu. The
plan was audacious, but entirely prac
ticala true "Yankee notion." On Nov.
U, I'.XIB, the finished dam was sent (ly
ing over by three hydraulic Jacks.
Amid the breathless Interest of a large
crowd of spectators tho concrete col
umn fell, splashed and settled. When
splash and spray subsided there It
stretched, broken nt the destined
points, tilted n trifle Irregularly In the
middle, whore the river bed was high
er, but quite effectual. The depth of
water Increased ten Inches at once.
The ''obelisk dam" was u success.

WEDDING SUPERSTITIONS.
; A bride who finds a spider on her
wedding dress may consider herself
blessed.
The bride who dreams of fairies tho
ulght before her marriage will be
thrice blessed.
If the bridegroom earring a miniature
horseshoe in bis pocket he will always
have good luck.
No bride or bridegroom should be
given a telegram on the way to church.
It Is positively a sign ot evil.
If the wedding ring Is dropped dur
ing the ceremony the bride may as well
wish herself unborn, for she will al
ways have 111 luck.
Kiss a bride right after the ceremony
and before the newly made husband
has a chance to do so. and you will
have excellent luck throughout the
year.
Should a bride perchance see a coffin
while being driven to the railway sta
tion prior to departure upon her wed
ding tour she should order the driver
to turn back and start over again, or
else she will surely meet with bad luck.

MAN AND HIS HAT.
They Are Firmly Bound Together by
the Red Tape of 3ocicty.
There are things. It Is a comfort to
know, which even a man cannot do.
and a man is supposed to be able to do
almost anything. Now, a novelist may
put his heroine's hat 0.1 her head nt
any angle ho choc.ies It Is ouo of the
few privileges or womanhood and
leave- her Hot a bit l.:ct charming or
l';n!llc.!, but I defy him to put his
hero's hat at a rowdy nti.jlo over his
ear at a crucial point in tils career and
leave him still hemic! The Achilles
heel of a man Is his hat! He must
giliit'd that as he does bis reputation,
for it Is at once his strength and his
weakness.
It would hurt an archbishop and nn
archbishop necessarily slant! for all
that Is good and groat---Ion.; In tiie eyes
of the public to commit a crime than
to wear his hat on l ie l ack of tils
sacred head real back ai. sti exhibit
himself to Ills distressed diuc vie. He
may have all the known virtues' and
many that are not known, but iwen an
archbishop cannot with Impunity defy
convention. Still. If he Is so Inclined,
why should not 11 good anil great man
wear his lint over his nose without
creating unfavorable comment? The
fact Is ho cannot, lie Is ruled by con
vention, and convention Is the red tape
of society.
The cast Iron laws of fashion, which
Is only another name for convention,
are such that If the greatest man In
Fu'-rlnud were in walk with all his ac
customed dignity from the Marble arch
to the bank w'th a trilling peacock's
feather attache! to the ha ml of his Im
maculate silk hat he would be followed
by a mob In two seconds, and by tho
time ho reached V'ere street the out
raged majesty of the law would take
him Into custody as a suspicious char
acter. Mrs. John Lane in Putnam's

RHEUMATISM

URIC-0 QUICKLY CURED HIM
Mr. Frank Howe, a prominent farmer
of the Town of Van Buren, says:
"During a siege of the most painful
form of Rheumatism, which lasted two
years, I did everything that was possi
ble with the aid of money to find re
lief. I spent several hundred dollars,
and seemed to grow worse instead of
better each day. Being on crutches
and forced to drive to the train and
then hobbling to the doctor's office, be
came very discouraging, let alone the
sleepless nighta and fearfnl hoars of
pain. Being advised by a friend to try
L'ric-O, I purchased a bottle and began
its use aa directed. In less than 84
hours these fearful solatia pains left
me, my blood seemed to let loose and
flow freely, I felt different, and knew
at once that I had found a cure, as I
slept and rested all that night, some
thing I had not done before in .two
years. I nsed in all six bottles of
Crio-O, and can truthfully aay that I
have never felt a return of the disease,
and have had no use for crutches or
cane since the first day's treatment. I
Invite all Rheumatics to write me and

Did you evorstop to think that when
a business man looks for a clerk that he
does not bunt for the youth who talks
"sassy," uses slang, smokes cigarettes
or taps beer kegs? Tbey look for the
boy wbo Is neat in appearance, gentle
manly in his actions, clean in his talk
and courteous to those whom be meets.
Although you maj think no one watches
you or knows your character it is safe
to say that there la not a business man
in town but who knows the character of
every boy in it. If you wish to become
a useful man it Is you and you alone that
must accomplish it Exchange.
"It pays to advertise," said Mark
Twain at an advertisement writers'
banquet. "When I . was editing the
Virginia City Enterprise, writing copy
one day and mining the next, I tried to
force home the truth in many ways. A
superstitious subscriber once wrote, in
forming me that be had found a spider
in his paper, and wished to know
whether it was a sign of good or bad
luck. I replied that the discovery of a
spider In bis copy of the Enterprise
was neither good luck nor bad luck. I
told Mm that the spider was merely
lookitig over the pages to see what
merchant was not advertising, so that
it could spin its web across the door,
and lead a free and undisturbed exist
ence forever afterwards."

The Law's Delays.
A lawyer on being asked why his
profession is always in court asking
for delays and adjournments respond
ed: "I have observed In my long years
of experience that when a lawyer has
a very good case he Is anxious to try.
it If be has a poor one the longer he
tan delay It the better it suits him..
There is no telling what the accidents
and Incidents of time may supply in
his favor. Another reason perhaps,"
the lawyer continued, "Is the fact that
a lawyer never feels tike prying him
self entirely away from a case until he
bus to. I concede that this Is one of the
mysteries of the legal mind." Kansas
