Nerves Wea* Oat And grow weak and exhausted when not properly nour ished, just as an engine loses its power when the fuel runs low. The loss of nervous power is seen in the failing health and the wasting form. It is felt in the aching head, the throbbing heart, the irritability, indigestion, restlessness and loss of sleep. Re build the worn-out nerves, rest the tired brain and add new fuel to the vital fires with the best of all tonics, Dr. Miles' Nervine. "I never had anything do me so much good as Dr Miles' Nervine. I had been suffering from blind piles for some time and had lost so much blood that my nerves were In a very bad condition. I bought a bottle of the Nervine on trial and it did me so much good that I have since taken two more. The result is my health has been wonderfully improved and I am very thankful that I gave it a trial." J. B. IIKNSI.EE, Ringgold, Ga. * D*.

Cowboys Not True to Traditions of the "Woolly West." Northern Montana Is bewailing the decadence of the cowboy—justly, it would seem, if there be truth in the report that two border outlaws chased a dozen members of the Diamond It round up outfit for 20 miles in terror stricken search for refuge to the town of Culbertsou. Think of It! Twelve doughty knights of the plain, blue of lip and wild of eye, spurring their horses to Incontinent flight over sage brush and bunch grass and ever and anon turning their wan faces back ward over shivering shoulders for a look at their relentless pursuers! Pic ture In your mlud's eye the scudding of a dozen jack rabbits close pressed by a pair of ravenous wolves! Oh, the horror of It! The report from Culbertson says the cowboys were unarmed, excepting one or two guns In the whole outfit It Is a hard allegation, and public judgment should be suspended pending the re ceipt of further particulars. If It be proved true—ah, well, we of Montana must blush for the shame of It! The traditions of the gun are dear to the western heart. It has barked defiance to law and order, it lias been the chief property of the cowboy comedy of "shooting up the town," and It has fur nished ragtime music for many a ten derfoot to dance by. Has the west ward course of empire relegated the "shooting iron" to the scrnp pile? Has It gone the way of the brown buffalo and the preserved Indian? Will It 110 longer dangle in menace from the belt of the bold vaquero? It would seem so, for the report has It that the Dia mond It outfit was unarmed. All the world will Join in the north ern Montana wail. The Iconoclast Time has shattered the idol of the "wild and woolly west." The long locks of the cowboy have been shorn; his goatee Is preserved only as a memory of the aging face of "Buffalo Bill" Cody; his buckskin habiliments have given way to overalls and Jumpers, and his brav ery is bound between the yellow covers of a nickel novel. Twelve cowboys chased by two ban dits! They will not believe It in the east, where the popular Idea of the cowboy is still somewhat awesome and picturesque. Here In Montana, swal lowing our pride, we will henceforth look iqion him as a herder of cattle and brander of calves—our calf boy.—Butte City Inter Mountain. We Are Old. So accustomed have Americans be come to think of the United States as a new country that the statement of Mr. Albion W. Tourgee that "we arc one of the oldest of existing civilized nations" seems to require an explana tion. Since the foundation of the gov ernment, almost 112 years ago, there has been no break In our presidential succession. During that period, ac cording to Judge Tourgee, the form of government In France has changed ten times. "Germany," he adds, "is but 30 years old. Austria as a nation Is the outcome of the Hungarian re hellion. Italy Is a still later product of popular evolution." How Nature Warns. Seaweed as a test for sewage Is the discovery made by Dr. Letts, pro fessor of chemistry in the Belfast col lege, and his coadjutor, Mr. Haw thorne of the same college, says a Lon don newspaper. Their attention had been called to large quantities of pu trefying seaweed ouside Belfast and Dublin. Investigation proved that the growth of the weed depended largely on the sewage pollution of the water and that, in fact, It only flourished In localities where such pollution existed. The results of Professor Letts' experi ments were recently communicated to the chemical section of the British as sociation. Many persons have had the oxperirnco of Mr. Peter Sherman, of North Strat ford, N. H., who says, "For years I suffered torture from chronic Indigestion, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure made a well man of me." It digests what you eat and is a certain cure for dyspepsia and every form of stomach trouble. It gives relief at once evon in the worst cases, and can't help but do you good.

Sir Wilfrid Lnurier, the premier of Canada, whose ministry has been up held by an overwhelming majority, Is undoubtedly the most prominent figure iu the CaJHidian world of politics. The recent election was most bitterly con tested, and the Conservatives were de feated largely owing to their efforts to stir up racial and religious differences In the Dominion. Premier Laurier, SIR WILFRID LAURIER. who Is a French Canadian, won 57 out of (15 seats in Quebec, the land of the French Canadians. In Cape Breton the leader of the Conservatives, Sir Charles Tupper, was defeated, and the opposition is thus without a head. Lau rier is yet a young man and bids fair to have as long a tenure of office as had the famous Sir John Macdonald. Julian Ralph'* VlewH. Julian Italph's powers of description are quite extraordinary. Though they lead him at times Into seeming extrav agance, yet they greatly enliven his narrative, lie advises the traveler In South Africa to take along a tig leaf for daytime costume and a Laplander's suit of furs for night. All kinds of weather, he says, are served out during each 24 hours. As for healthfulness, not even Colorado can compare with It. "To go to Colorado you must be a mil lionaire, with only one lung, and you must keep your lung and part with your million. But here the rule Is to come penniless, with 110 lungs. Thus established you develop your lungs and become a millionaire." No wonder the British thought South Africa worth fighting for.—Chicago Tlmes-llerald. Newi From Peary. The latest news from that intrepid arctic explorer, Lieutenant It. E. I'ea ry, comes byway of Scotland. On Nov. 8 Dr. Leopold Kann landed at Dundee f LIEUTEXANT R. K. PEAItY. from a whaler returning from Davis strait and reported that while at Bed ford, Pyui Island, he saw the I'eary ex pedition pass on Its way north. Peary had several toes frost bitten and walk ed with difficulty. Peary sent a mes sage back that he was confident of reaching the pole. Lieutenant Peary Is not a novice in nortli pole hunts. lie has made . veral attempts before, and his achievements on those occasions have won for him high rank among searchers for the pole.

The crows bothered dear old grandpa more than ever that year. They were digging up all the corn. "I believe they laugh at my scare crow," grandpa said. "Yes, they do; I heard 'em!" Perloy cried. "They got together in a regular conflagration"—Perley meant congrega tion—"and laughed out loud—oh, very loud—'Caw, caw, caw!' If that isn't their way of saying 'Haw, haw, haw!' then I'm mistaken." Grandpa smiled. But it got to be 110 smiling matter at all. Things began to look serious in deed out in tlie corn patch. At last grandpa hit upon a device. He came in to breakfast one morning looking quite satisfied niul happy. "I've got 'em now," he said. "Got who, David?" dear old grandma asked. "The crows—every mother's son of 'em! Let 'em dig up iny corn rows now if they want to! I've spread that enor mous blue umbrella that the whole family used to go to meeting under when I was a boy. I've got it out there in the middle of my corn patch, look ing like a giant mushroom." "Or a circus tent," put In Perley gleefully. lie had been walking all around tlie corn patch in a triumphant procession of his own. "I guess they'll laugh on tlie inside of their mouths now!" he exulted. But that noon, at dinner time, Perley came in out of the blazing sunlight with his little red, moist face drawn down lengthily. lie waited till after grandpa asked the blessing and filled all the plates. It was hard work to "break it" to grandpa, but when you had a thing to do 3*oll had better do it before you began on your mashed po tatoes and chicken. It was good rea soning, and Perley straightened In his chair. "Grandpa," he said solemnly, "there's a crow sitting under that umbrella down In the corn patch. 1 saw him. lie looked real cool and comfortable out of the sun."—A. 11. D. in Primary Education. How the Turtle* Fl*caped. L. T. Eckert of Dunnstnble township was given nn exhibition of the manner In which land turtles will flee from ap proaching danger, says the Lock Ha ven Democrat. Mr. Eckort has three turtles on his farm, one bearing the in scription "W. C. D., 1875," which let tors and figures were cut on by a neigh bor, W. C. Dan ley; another having the Initials "W. S." on, which came from Mr. Eckert does not know where, ami a third with his own Initials, "L. T. E.," and a cross mark. One da 3' flames broke out In Mr. Eck ert's clearing and swept over the en tire field. After the flames burned awhile Mr. Eckert thought of his pets and went out to see what had become of them. He was worried, fearing that they had been burned to death. After a long search lie went a short distance from the track covered by the flames and found a freshly dug hole. In it he found one of the turtles down a considerable depth, digging deeper with more vigor than is usually seen 111 those slow going tortoises. Mr. Eckert, after walking around, finally found the other two down along a small stream, both in the water, with only their heads sticking out. When Mr. Eckert appeared on the scene, they pushed their heads a little farther out, as much as to sny: "We're all right. Go about your business." The turtles evidently know when to get out of dan ger's way. Straddle Clab. Players stand in two or more lines, one behind another, with the feet apart In straddle fashion. At a signal the leaders of the lines each slide an In dian club between the feet from the front toward the rear of the lines. The last one in each line, when he receives the club, runs with it to the front, takes position at the head of the line and starts it in his turn. The line wins whose leader returns first to the front. If the club stops on Its way to the rear, the player next whom It stops starts it again. If the club Is allowed to skip a player, It Is counted a foul and must be returned to the player skipped, who then starts It This game can also be played with a ball. "How Awfully Greedy!" "How awfully greedy you are!" said one little girl to another. "You took the biggest apple from the basket just as I was going to take It myself 1" An Episode. The kitty cat sat on a post of the fence. And she sighed: "Oh, for wings, so that I might fly hence To the trees up above Where are dainties I love, The dear little birdies all tender and sweet t I like not their singing, but, oh, I could eat A dozen or so, If I just could go And pounce on them up in their leafy retreat!" The mother bird sang by her nest on the tree. And she thought: "There's a cat, and she'a lis t'ning to me. She knows she can't sing; I am sorry, poor thingl I'd so like to teach her, but then, if I try, The next thing she'll want to be learning to fly, And really I need My birdies to feed About every minute, the time so goes by." Just then little Fido starts out for a run. He saw mistress pussy, and then there was fun! She scud up the tree As swift as could be, For "fear lends her wings" or what docs just as well, But appetite leaves her, I'm happy to tell. Of birds in the tree Forgetful is she, While Fido sits thinking 'twere nice if she fell. 1 know you're all wishing the birdies may keep All tafe and all sound "at the top of the heap." Fido can't climb a tree, So 'tis likely, you see, When he scurries off pussy'll drop to the ground. With heart no more bent Towurd evil intent, rats just out of trouble ure quite ryod, I've found.
