This prescription forces the clogged- up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous ) waste matter and uric acid, which causes Bbeumatlsm. As Bbeumatlsm is not only the most painiul and tortuous disease but dangerous to life, this simple recipe will no doubt be greatlv val- ued by many sufferers here at home who should at once prepare the mix- ture to get this relief.

Mors tnan balf tbe readers of the Advocate would give almost any- thing to be plump and rosy instead of tbin and scrawny. Physicians and chemists for years have studied tbe problem of making a dean-forming food, bat it Is only within tbe last few montns that a bright man discovered the prescrip- tion that taken with tbe daily meals gave a positive increase in flesh. In fact it was so certain in its action tnat a guarantee was attached to eaoh package stating that if weight did not increase as a result of using it, tbe purchase price would be refunded. Taken with each meal, it enables the food you eat to assimilate with the system and that In connection witb its own fleeh-torming and tissue boildlng foods gives healthy rlesb. The emaciated form fills oat Into the beautiful curves of plumpness, the scrawny limbs become round and firm, the cheeks fill out and take on tbe rosy bloom of perfect health and normal strength. Tbe Jones Drug Co. have secured the agency In Bath for Samose, and aa the percentage of satisfactory re- salts from the use of this proscrip- tion is so nearly one hundred percent tbey feel there is no risk In offering 'o refund the money if Samose doea not do all that Is claimed tor it. anal JELL-O is made la seven choice flavors and can be prepared, for the table in a hundred different ways, so a new dessert can be served every day.

CUKES CATARRH It is said many trained uurses are out of employment in Syracuse. Phy- sicians say tbere is less sickness than usual at this time of tbe year, many people cannot afford to pay the ex- horbitant nurses' fee. The Jones Drag Co. Will Furnish The MetUclne Free In Every Case Where They Fall to Care Catarrh. Neglect or pessimism we believe is tne greatest enemy the public have to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practically every case or consumption might have been cured if bope had been maintained and proper treatment had been resorted to at tbe first symp- tom or tbe disease. Until the ad- vanced stage is reached, consumption is curable. Catarrh 1B responsible, we believe, for every case of con- sumption. It la about Catarrh we want to talk to you today, incident- ally consumption, aince the two aie so closely allied. We have a medicine made from the prescription of one of the most snccesful catarrh specialists known. This medicine has a record of 98 per cent cures, and we believe it Is posi- tively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right, that we will supply the medicine free in every instance where it is used accor- ding to directions for a reasonable length of time and falls to cure and give satisfaction in every particular. We want every one in Bath to try this medicine at our risk. There are no conditions or formality attached to our offer. We put tbe user under no obligation to us whatever. Tbe medicine we want you to try is Bexall Mucu-Tone. it Is a catarrh temdey that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried by tbe blood to every part of the system. It aeeks out and destroys the germs or para- sites which cause catarrh. It piiritles the blood, tones up the muco-cella, soothes and heale tbe tissues that wete ravaged by the catarthal parasite, and brings about a condition of health and strength that prevents tbe germs of consumption from ever getting a start. Besides tbls, Bexall Mucu- Tone is a wonderful appetizer, diges- tive aid and flesh builder. Its good effects are felt from the very first dose. It is one ot the greatest and most satisfactory selling medicines that we have ever bad anything to do with. We know BO much of tbe great good that it has done that we person- ally back it up witb our reputation and money wbich fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy anybody.

THE wind came fitfully over tbe broad sheet of water known as Salt poud. It was a "weatbar breeder," tbe farmers said, and they made their horses go a little fast er and began to calculate how much work they could get In before the storm came. Off In the northeast sul- len masses of clouda began to gather and spread out over the sky. When they crossed the sun they cast the di- lapidated buildings of the towu farm Into alternate shadow and sunlight. And with the shadows the wind be- came suddenly sharp and raw, but grew warm again when the sunlight reappeared. - • "Drat th' pesky wind!" grumbled an ancient ueu-Moner as the he rose stiffly from the bench In front of the alms- house and hobbled toward tbe door. "When I was young th' weather had some sort o' conshunts an' didn't fiddle round like a seven minded gal. I'm go- In' In 'side th' fire." f "Begorra, an' that's me Idee prezact- ly," agreed a blind Irishman as be rose cautiously and held out his hand for some one to lead him. One after another the rest followed until at last there was but one old man left on the bench. He sat staring at the ground as though unconscious of what was going on around him, but as soon as the last footstep died away in the entry be rose and glanced about sbarply. Then he shuffled across the yard, stopping here and there as though he had no special object in view, but all tbe time edging In a cer- tain direction. When he reached the wood pile he stopped and looked about abstractedly, then moved on to tbe pigsty and appeared to study the hab- its of the grunting Inmates. After awhile be straightened up and glanced keenly from under his bushy eyebrows. No one was In sight A moment later he disappeared through the doorless opening of the great, tottering barn. At the same instant two keen old faces appeared from behind the entry door, followed presently by two bent, decrepit forms. "Th' ole fox's gone f peek at bis money, boys," croaked one of them "Consarn his pictef! He's slier'n an ole turkey hen a-hldin* her nest 'F Pre watched him once I have a hun- dred times." "An ain't I watched him fr'm th' haymaow an' fr'm th' stables an' fr'm under th' wagginsf chimed In tbe other.

He's got piles o* money some'er, but we alnt goln' t* see It." "Who's got piles o* money?" and the old men started guiltily as the overseer came striding into the entry. He wa a big, rough man, who towered bead and shoulders above them. Just now his hat was pulled down over his eye- brows, and be was striking his boots Impatiently with his heavy riding whip. The old men glanced at him and •baffled uneasily. "Why, you see, 'taln't nothln'," depre- cated one of them. "We's Jest a-talkin' 'bout Miser Tom an' his keepiu' his money hid. Ev'rybody knows 'bout It" The overseer's face cleared a little, and he pushed his hat back from his eyebrows. "Yes. I know somethln' about It," he •aid more affably, "but not enough. PCTLTENEY.

Bat Miser Tom was not easy to and The old barn was a great rambtrag structure that had been Intended to meet all th* requirements of a large stock farm Bat the stock farm Itself had been only a dream of an Impe- cunious man of Ideas. Long before it was completed the small capital had been ua*<l up. and tbe farm passed Into other hands During all these years, it had grad- ually become a vast storehouse for th» useless articles of the large farm, crowded together In reckless disorder. Tht-re was another story tinder th* roof of the bam, but this was left mostly to the pigeons and bats and to such roving hens as had. not yet settled down to the unambitious wgys of their kind. To the boys who lived on the farm the old barn was always a place of wonder and delight. On hot summer nights the more courageous stole from the house and groped their way up to the piles of hay and listened all through (he long hours of darkness to the strange moaning and" whistling and rapping that came from the dark corners. And they shivered with de- lighted horror at the thought of count- less ghosts flitting about them. | The overseer paused In the open doorway and glanced around. No one was In sight. Then he called sharply, but no one answered. Two or three hens flew 'heavily from stolen nests among the wagon bodies and disap- peared through a hole in the floor. A cloud of dust rose from tbe debris and after a few moments settled 4>ack again softly. The overseer pulled his hat farther down over his eyebrows "The feller's akulkin' round here somewhere," he muttered angrily. "Jest like's not he's watchln' me from be- hind some waggln "body." But a thorough search failed to re- veal him, and at last the overseer left the barn wrathfullv. AS he stepped outside he saw Miser Tom come leisurely ronnd the corner of the barn. "Why, you—you scoundrel!" he call- ed. "Where you been all th' time? Didn't you hear me call?" Miser Tom looked up vacantly. "Heyr "Didn't—you—hear— me—call f fierce- ly. "Yea, I b'leeve I did hear somebody callln' Tom." the old man answered deliberately. "But how's I t* know 'twas meant fer me? Thai's lots o Toms on th' place." "Well, 'twas meant fer you. Now, look here, you an' me has some busi- ness that'r got t' be settled right straight off. How much money 've you got, an' where la it?" "Me—got money?" "Yes, you. I know all about it. I don't want t' be hard on you, but this thing's got V be settled right now. If you stay on th' farm you must pay your board. If you don't you've got f clear out. Do you understand?" Into the dull eyes of the old man came a troubled look. m "But I ain't got no place t' go," be said tremulously, "no place In th' whole wide world. An* I'm too ole t' work. I wouldn' hev no place t' sleep an' nothln' V eat." "That's your lookout, not mine," re- plied the overseer curtly. "You have money, haven't you? Come, tell th' truth." The old eyes roved unconsciously to- ward the roof of the bars.. ''Y-es, I've got some," he said slowly, "but not f spend. 'F • I spent It. t'would be goue. an' 'twotildn't come back no more." He stood clasping and unclasping his withered fingers for several minutes; then he looked up plteoualy. "Can't you let me stay jest a leetle longer?" he asked. "I'll do considePble, choppln' wood. An*, you see. I've got sorter used t' th' place an' kinder hate t' go 'way. I'd most likely starve." "Very well, starve then." And the overseer turned sbarply and walked toward the house. At tbe wood pile he paused. "Git your things picked up," he called. "You must leave tomorrow mornln', an' mind you don't ever let me see you back here ag'in." Miser Tom did not answer. His limbs were trembliug. and Into his face had come a gray, ashy pallor. Sinking weakly upon a timber, she burled his face in his hands. i "Thar ain't no place fer me f go," he moaned, "not any place In th" whole wide world. *» An' I can't spen' my ba- bies; no, I can't, I can't.

I'd like to sift tbe whole thmg to the bottom soon's possible. If Tom's got money, of course he can't stay on the town farm. If he ain't, .why, the sooner these stories are broke np the better. But he's such a fool I can't seem to get anything out of him by questions." "He ain't sech a fool's he 'pears," ob- jected one of the old men dryly. "When I'm a-watchln' him I gin'rally have an Idee 't I'm th' fool. An' as t' the money, he's got It—piles an' piles. I know that How he ever come t' git on th' taown farm's a myst'ry f me." "He was brought here before you seme," said the overseer. "Some men •topped at his hut In th' woods an' found him almost dead from starva- tlbn. He didn't want t' come at first; said he'd lived there all his life an' couldn't bear th' change. But after awhile he gee'd round an' liked It first rate. Don't s'pose he'd ever bad enough f eat before In his life. Now you couldn't hire him f leave th' farm." "But how'd he come f git all his money?" "Taln't sure he's got any. His fa- ther lived In th' hut before him an' had th' name o' bein' a miser, so Tom comes nat'rally by It. Both was thick Wstted an' flighty an' kept t' them- selves, an' o' course folks talked a good deal. After Tom come here he used f go back, f th' hut sometimes, an' folks said he brought his money away In th' night an' hid it In our old bam. At any rate, be stopped goln' all f once, an' now yon can't scasely git htm out o' sight o' th' barn. That's what got me&£ thlnkln' there might be somethln'in th' talk. But you said jest now t' you knowed he had money. Waat'd you mean by that?" "I mean t' I've heard him say so himself time an' time ag'in. His bed's next mine up In th' attic, an' he's a fret way o' talkin' f htmaelf arter he's 'sleep—drops off soon's he fetches th' bed an'then talks like a house afire th' whole endurin' night; gabbles 'bout his pretty babies an' his little darlin'san' his beauf ful shiners. Las' night he got t* chucklln* t' himself an' kep' a-sayln' he'd got a fortln' an' nobody didn't tnow; f he'd allers<keep his little tin box shet so f nobody couldn't see. Now, 'f that don't mean that he's got money hid away, then I ain't aayln' any more." The overseer looked serious. Tee, the fellow must have money/' he said. "Well, I will have a talk with htm at once an' let htm know th' town farm ain't a free boardin* house fer millionaires." Settling his hat once more over his eyebrows, he turned and left the entry Abruptly. The old men looked at each other and grinned. "Th* ole feller's sorter riled," one of them said, with a chuckle, "but I'll lay •ays that sic*. should not fail to try Lydta B. Plnkham'a Vegetable Compound as aha did. Mrs. A.

"Might's well open It an' see what th' Ole man bad," some one suggested. • Twon't do him any harm now." The overseer did not answer, but be took up the box and began to unwind the long string that fastened it As he raised the cover a curious smile cross- ed his face. "There's Miser Tom's fortune," he said grimly as he poured the contents npon the table. The paupers crowded forward and then looked at each other In dismay. "A han'ful o' big coppers an' an old fashion spellln' book," grumbled one. "Miser Tom was a bigger fool *n I thought." The overseer counted the coins slow- ly. When he reached fifty-two he stop- PSd- "Fifty-two cents an' th' old book," he said quietly. "Not a very big for- tune, but it meant a good deal f old Tom. I guess we'll let Billy have it t' remember him by. Now all of you go back f bed/| A LINGUISTIC ESCAPADE. MISKR TOM STAOOTCSBD TKBOTJOH SHOES AND FLAMS. went Inside. Tbe crouching figure on the timber was not so entertaining as they had anticipated. After a time Miser Tom rose and went in to pick up bis tblngs, an old pair of shoes and an extra shirt and a coat and battered hat that had be- longed to his father. He would not come down to supper. When the paupers went upstairs they found him in bed, with his head under the clothes. Some time in the night the inmates of the garret were awakened by a cry of fire. The room was brilliantly Illuminated, and outside they could hear the crackling of flames. After a moment there was another cry of "Tbe barn, the barn!" Miser Tom sprang up with an ex- clamation of horror. When the oth- ers reached the open air they saw him rushing into the burning building. „. "Stop Mm, some of you!" cried the overseer excitedly. "Th* barn's ready to fall!" But It was too late, and tbey gazed at each other with whitening faces. "Well, s' long's his money 'd got f burn I guess he'd ruther burn with it," said one old man philosophically. One, tbree. five minutes passed; then Miser Tom came staggering through the smoke and flames, his hair and clothing burned and his face black and livid. But In his hand was a long tin box. "Here, take It, quick!" he called to the overseer as be tossed rather than handed him the box. "Keep it till I git back. Don't let nobody tech It. Little lame Billy's in th' barn. I seed him. He must 'a' slep' thar." And before any one thought to prevent him he was back In the midst of the flame and smoke. They were all silent now, listening to the fierce crackling and watching the flames as they crept up the roof and along the rafters. Now and then they heard the crash of a timber as It fell Into the fiery depths of the barn. Five, ten minutes passed; then they saw a movement near the door, and a moment later a figure staggered out fell and tried to crawl toward them. There was a great shout, and the overseer sprang forward. and caught the figure in his arm. It was the lame boy. "Where's old Tomf the overseer asked as soon aa the boy could speak. Billy pointed to the barn. "He brung me—downstairs," he gasp- ed, "fur's th' door, an' then he fell an' hollered fer me t' hurry—fas' as ever I could-an' I did." The overseer made a movement as though he would enter th« barn, but at that moment there was a warning shout from the paupers, and as he sprang back the great building fell with a resounding crash. As the flames shot up he took the lame boy in his arras and moved toward the house. I */hen Henry W. Longfellow Shocked Intellectual Boston. In the original impression of Long- fellow's poem of "Hiawatha" there were found in the seventh book the three lines following: Straight Into the river Kwaslnd Plunged aa If he were an otter, Dove aa If he were a beaver. How this offending preterit passed the proofreader without protest is one of those mysteries which have never been revealed. But the form certainly made Its appearance and can still be found in copies of the poem which were regularly published and sold. Boston ne,yer received such a shock since the days when Fenlmore Cooper Insisted that It was only in the middle states that the English language was spoken in Its purity. Bnt that attack came from an outsider. Here the of- fender was of her own household, was. In fact, her favorite son. What means of suppression were resorted to will probably never be disclosed. A myste- rlouR reticence has always been pre- served in regard to tbls linguistic esca- pade. The biographers of Ixmgfellow appear to be silent upon the subject. Measures of some sort must, however, have been taken at once. "Dove" was expunged, and the decorous "dived" assumed Its place, and the whole trans- action was so completely hushed up that no public scandal was crossed. Let him who possesses a copy of that first Impression continue to cherish it Whatever may be its worth now, the time will come when it will reach the value of the virtuous woman of Scrip- ture, and Its price will be far above rubies.—Professor Thomas R. Louns- bnry In Harper's Magazine. THE PALACE WAITED. A Suggestion That Changed the Plane of a Pope. At a time when there was great suf- fering among the people from lack of food and when famine In its worst form was threatened Pope Alexander VI. bad made arrangements for the erection of a magnificent palace. Tbe best architects had been employed, and the plans had been submitted and ac- cepted, and an accomplished builder had been sent for to come from Venice, a man whose work had won for him renown and who was known to be a Just and upright man. The builder had arrived, and at an appointed time he waited upon his holiness to receive the plans and make his estimates. "There is one thing yet to be done," said the pope. "There has been no proper inscription or leg- end thought of to be placed over the main entrance of the palace. It should be put above the great gate. You have had experience. Do you think of an in- scription that would be appropriate?" "If your holiness would pardon me for the liberty, I might suggest one most appropriate at this time." "You are pardoned in advance," said the pope, smiling. "Now, what shall it her "Sovereign pontiff, let it be thus: *Command that these stones be made bread!'" The pope was visibly and deeply af- fected. He paid the builder munifi- cently for his expenses of coming and going, and Instead of building his pal- ace he fed tbe hungry ones of his children. Poverty Hat It* Advantages. ' A man on the wane of life observes that poverty has advantages and ad- versity Its uses, if you are poor you can wear out your old clothes. You are excused from calls. You are not troubled with many visitors. Bores do not disturb you. Spongers do not haunt your tables. Brass bands do not sere- nade you. No one thinks of present- ing you with a testimonial. No store- keeper Irritates you by asking you, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Begging letter writers do not bother you. Flatterers do not flatter you. You are saved many debts and many a deception. And, lastly, If you have a true friend In the world you are sure to know It In a short space of time by him not deserting you. -Huntsvule fTex.)
