THE PRESIDENT
Of the City Council, Wilkes
barre, Pa,, Cured of
Rheumatism.
Col. Wm. J. Ilarvpy, a president of
Wllkesbarre'a city council, who will
Song be remembered for his great work
for the city, was once a mere physical
wreck, torn in every muscle and uerve
from the frightful pains caused by rheu
matism. He consulted the b-st phy
sicians, went abroad, took mud balhs,
and almost every known treatment for
the disease. One of the city officials
had had a very similar experience and
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
had cured bira, so he recommended
this great kidney medicine to his friend,
and Col. Ilarvey is today a well man,
hale and hearty. In his own abrupt
way be states his case:
DR. DAVID KENNEDY,
Dear Sir:—This to certify that I
was permanently cured of rheuma
tism by the use of Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy.
WM. J. HARVEY.
Nothing could be more direct or more
to the point than this simple statement.
Rheumatism is but another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused pri
marily by disea-ed kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep
sia and chronic constipation, as well as
siknesses peculiar to women, Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is unques
tionably the greatest medicine known
to the medical profession.

"Just one more," pleaded Squab
O'Neill, leaning persuasively over Mc-
Ardell's bar.
"No, sir," said McArdell emphatical
ly. "You've had one too many al
■ ready."
This was well within the truth. Since
leaving the winter quarters of the
Grand Panjandrum Menagerie early
that morning the erring Squab had
augmented the raging flame of thirst
that burned within him by many an
onpourlug of oil, the fusel oil that
comes in live cent whisky. Now his
exhtlarant soul had risen above that
brand. It yearned for the kind that
comes at 15 cents a throw. The trouble
was that he didn't have the 15 cents.
"Put It on the slate, Mac," he begged.
"It's turrible t'irsty work, tiger clias
in'."
"Chasing the can," amended McAr
dell grimly.
"Chasln' the tiger, I said," insisted
the other.
"What tiger?" There was a con
temptuous tone to the query, and It
was with some heat as well as triumph
that Squat) retorted:
"Salamander—that's wot tiger."
"Yes; that's likely." sneered the sa
loon man. In truth, nothing seemed
less likely than that the undersized,
shambling, irresponsible doer of odd
jobs about the winter quarters should
be engaged In any chase to which Sala
mander was the other party, for Sala
mander. once the prize performer of
i the Grand Panjandrum, had "gone
! bad" a few weeks before and had gath
i ored to himself (and their fathers) a
! trainer, his assistant and sundry loose
ends of other persons engaged about
his cage, such as ears, fingers and once
i the better part of a forearm. "I guess
It's one of your pipes. Squab," contin
ued McArdell.
j "You'd never win no spellln' boos by
guessin'," returned Squab. "I'm on the
! job, I am. The boss give it to me spe
-1 clal. 'O'Neill.' says he to me. 'you're
! the only man I'd trust to git him.' he
j says. 'Say notliin' to nobody,' he says,
'but git him an' bring him back quiet,'
! says he to me. 'an' your pay check* 11 be
: twins at the end of the week,' he
! says."
j "Oh. cut it out!" said McArdell good
! naturediy. "Salamander's at home in
his cage, where he belongs. You'd bet
j ter get home to yours."
I "That's where your brain's soften
in'." remarked O'Neill. "But he will be
before night. I'm after him. I am."
I lie marched proudly to the door,
opened it and held it open to fling back
; a parting word.
j "When I come back with me tiger
under me arm, maybe you'll set up that
drink."
Two men who crouched up close to
the outer wall looked after him as he
disappeared in the gathering darkness.
"Wot's that lie said about a loose ti
ger?" growled one of them under his
breath.
"One of the show's beasts escaped
prob'ly," answered his companion.
"Good thing we got our pops ready,"
he added, feeling for the handle of a
revolver in his pocket.
"Lot of good that'd be ag'in a tiger."
said the first, peering fearfully over
ills shoulder. "Well, he hadn't oughter
bother us. We're on the hunt our
selves."
For some minutes tlie.v examined the
brightly lighted interior of the saloon
from the windows. Then they walked
In and ordered drinks. Before McAr
dell and ids assistant could 1111 the or
der they were looking down the barrels
of two revolvers.
"All the cash In the register an'
drawer an' a quart of the best!" said
the spokesman.
"Well. I'm hanged!" mourned the dis
-1 comfited McArdell. "This is worse
■ than wandering tigers."
| "Shut up an' hustle!" snarled the
robber, casting an uneasy glance at
the swinging doors.
A few rods outside was a spectacle
which would have deeply interested
him could he have but seen down the
now dark street—Squab O'Neill and a
crony, whom be bad picked up in a sa
loon, energetically escorting Salaman
der homeward. There seemed to be
some unwillingness on the part of the
j great, striped beast, for the two men
breathed hard as they pushed and haul
ed. But where was the ferocity that
bad made bis name a terror to the
whole show? Never a snarl, never a
growl, never the unsheathing of a clow,
as the two half drunken guardians led
their charge almost to the door of the
saloon. There they halted, and O'Neill
spoke:
"You hold him, Aleck, while I take a
look."
I Tiptoeing to the nearest window.
Squab peered In. then clapped a hasty
hand over his mouth to hold In a shout
of amazement. He had surprised the
holdup In full swing, the two robbers
covering McArdell and his assistant
while they heaped up money on the
bar. In two jumps the eavesdropper
was back beside the tiger, his teeth
chattering with excitement.
"Wh-wli-whisper. Aleck!" he twitter
ed. "Can you roar?"
"Con I i'v>ar?" repented Aleck, who
was a convivial soul. "With one more
good drink in me I couldn't help but
roar."
"Roar, then, like a thousand devils!"
hissed Squab. "Salamander an' uie is
goin' inside. Gimuie a hand with him.
Now let 'or go!"
In flew the doors, and through them
burst a tangled mass of tiger stripes
i and struggling uiuu. Down td the floor
they went with n thunderous crash.
There, close locked ainid a tornado of
flying sawdust, they whirled and
thrashed and wrestled, while the air
rang hideously with mad roarings,
snarlings, bowlings, shriekings and
yellings.
For one frozen second the quartet in
the game of holdup stood like statues.
Then a pistol shot perforated a far cor
ner of the ceiling, there was a strangled
bellow of terror, and a dark figure dove
headforemost through the window,
with a mighty crash of glass.
"Wait fer *me, Mike!" another voice
Implored.
There was a second rush, and the
glass of another window shattered.
Across adjacent fields two gashed faces
dripped blood at such intervals as a
man may cover in mighty leaps. The
holdup was over.
But what did McArdell care? Wedg
ed half way down his dumb waiter, he
alternately cursed his girth and the im
pulse that had led him to that false hope
of escape and prayed forgiveness for
his profanity with the fervor of a man
who momentarily expects a tiger to
reach down and bite his head off.
Above the din of battle he could hear
Tim, his assistant, reciting in a series
Df frenzied howls a catalogue of hor
rors to freeze the blood. Tim's voice
seemed to come from up stairs, but Mc-
Ardell couldn't be sure because of the
noise of the fight. Would the unequal
conflict nfever end? It seemed impossi
ble that human strength could so long
hold out. Autf now the clamor began to
mitigate, then died away until nothing
could be heard but a hoarse panting.
"He's getting his wind before he eats
poor Squab!" thought the imprisoned
saloon keeper. "Their he'll come after
me!" a forecast followed by so paralyz
ing an excess of terror that he lost
consciousness for a moment. The voice
of Tim brought hiin back.
"Mr. McArdell! Oh. Mr. McArdell!
Where are you?"
"In the dumb waiter shaft."
"Come up. He's dead."
"Of course he's dead. Did you think
the tiger was pettin' him, you fool?"
"Of course nothin'. It's the tiger
that's dead."
Sheer amaze at the prowess of Squab
O'Neill choked McArdell for the mo
ment. Then he called:
"Help me out of this. I'm stuck fast
er'n a prize onion In a goat's gullet.
Get me out, I say!"
By dint of much hauling and strug
gling McArdell emerged. His first
glance fell upon the corpse of Sala
mander, stretched on the floor. On it
sat Squab O'Neill. He was breathing
very hard. All about was scattered
the money dropped by the robbers in
their haste, and Tim was doing the jig
of jubilation among it. McArdell stag
gered over and laid a hand on the
striped l.ody of the tiger.
"Squab O'Neill," said ho. "speak
truth to a man that's feared for his
reason. Is that Salamander?"
"It sure is." said Squab.
"Is he dead?"
"Deader'n the ant Noah's elephant
stepped on."
"And you're alive?"
"An' dry."
McArdell wabbled over to the bar
and took the biggest drink of whisky
he had swallowed in ten years.
"Hold hard," said Squab resentfully.
"I need that worse'n you do."
"Need nothing." said McArdell—"man
that can lick a tiger hand to hand.
Ilow'd you ever do it?"
"Well, lie didn't light back much."
"Didn't fight back?"
"No." explained Squab. "He couldn't.
You see. lie's stufTed!"
"Stuffed!" yelled McArdell. "How
could he roar if he was stuffed?"
"I did the roarln'," explained the con
vivial Aleck, thrusting Ills head in at
the door. "It's t'irsty work, but for a
long drink I could- roar s'more."
"An* I put in the snarlin' an' growl
in'," added Squab. "I didn't go fer to
fool you at first. Mac," he added ear
nestly. "I told you I was sent to get
Salamander, though I didn't tell that
he died last week and has been at the
taxldermer's ever since. So I come
back to show you, an' Aleck come
along to help, an' when we run into
the holdup we done our little act. Sala
mander an' me, an'," he concluded ju
dicially. "I think it was a sensation.
I)o we get a drink, the three of us?"
Very late that night they left a dis
reputable Salamander on the head
trainer's doorstep. Ills fur was flecked
with sawdust and exuded an unmis
takable flavor of revelry. Cocked over
one eye was a wreath made of greens
and the gold foil from champagne bot
tles. In his mouth was a flask of
brandy. Each fore paw clasped a whis
ky bottle, each hind paw a magnum of
champagne. The end of his tall flaunt
ed a corkscrew. On his massive fore
head was a placard for all to read:
"Treat him kind, for he done his best."
It was signed with four names, that
of Squab O'Neill conspicuous among
them. Next day Squab lost his job, but
he doesn't care. McArdell is going to
set him up for himself as a tiger train
er one of these days.
The Wends.
In outward appearance the Wends
are throughout a powerful, healthy and
muscular race, whose men are coveted
for the conscription. The first Napo
leon's famous "Bouchers Saxons"—the
Saxon dragoons were nearly all
Wends. And in the present day it is
the Wends who contribute the lion's
share of recruits to the Saxon house
hold regiments. Their women are
prized throughout Germany as nurses.
They are all well built, well shaped,
rich in muscle and nimble In motion,
like the Laecdueinoninu women of old.
Next to stature, the most distinctive
external feature of the race Is their na
tional dress, which, as in most cases,
survives longest and in Its most char
acteristic form among women. As be
tween different districts It varies very
markedly, hut throughout It has some
channel] features.

diamonds. Near the hair nestles a mass
•jf pink and creamy button roses.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
SklrtM Mneli Trimmed.
In the dressmaker's output of cloth,
silk and linen gowns very few severe
ly plain skirts are shown. Most of
them are trimmed with lace, insertion,
embroidery, braid, stitched bands of
silk or velvet, hemstitching, fagoting,
stitchhig or tucking. Many new spring
gowns show front panels of the goods
or of panne velvet covered with a
lacing effect done in black silk tloss.
Persian and oriental effects are used
as tabs for skirt trimming. These
skirts are not any shorter at the back,
but do not sweep so at tlie sides and
front. Skirts of circular or ruffled
flounces are shown, but are not partic
ularly pretty unless worn by tall, grace
ful women.
Snnlinrnt Effect*.
Almost every imported light w<l>l
gown is distinguished by small tucks
starting at tlie waist and continuing
for a greater or less depth toward the
bottom. These tiny plaits are even
formed by the most skillful into ray
onne effects, and some are even so clev
er as to make them take the form of
complete circles; but. while the latter
fashion certainly shows the wonderful
skill attained by the Parisian, it is not
a mode to be altogether commended
for its artistic merits. A black etamine
gown is not only a most elegant and
smart one for the spring season, but it
is also a most useful one in the dressy
tailor made effects.
Sprlncr Glove*.
For ordinary wear calfskin gloves
will be used right through the spring.
They are coming in lighter weight,
however, and in tans and n reddish
brown. Castor gloves continue fnex
pensive and in good style for tailored
gowns and for outdoor sports. From
the glove counters conies the news that
suede lisle gloves will probably out
rank the washable chamois again.
They are lighter weight, no more ex
pensive and are equally durable.
A Sprittfc Coot.
The prevailing style in coats is indi
cated by that three-quarter eoat shown
in sketch. It is made in black silk, with
basket work trimming of cloth, the col
lar being of black and white velvet
trimmed with a couple of cloth frills.
THE THREE-QUARTER COAT.
The majority of these coats are made
in silk or fine faced cloth, with infinite
variety as to trimming, while for more
severe wear there are sack coats in
fawn or stone colored cloth, with deep
collars. Pouched Eton coats in moire,
glace or faced cloth are among the new
models, with various decorations of
collar, belt and strappings.—Philadel
phia Ledger.
A Simple Gown.
A simple gown that might be worn
either as an afternoon house gown or
an outdopr costume is in champagne
cloth, with applique garniture of black
and white spotted panne outlined by
coarse ecru lace braiding. The front
of the bodice is of white silk, match
ing the undersleeves, while the small
Inner vest is of ecru guipure.
