these harmless ingredienta can be

and are easily mixed by shaking
them well in a bottle. Belief is gen-
erally felt from tne first few doses.
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.
It is Baid that a person who would
take this prescription regularly a dose
or two daily or even a few times a
week would never have serious Kid-

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.
' Bexall Mucu-lone comes in two
sizes. 50c.. and f l.oo, We urge you to
try It. The Jones Drug Co., 20 Lib-

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. "An' didn' he go a-pokln' an'
a-p'Oanderln' round like an ole fool a*
didn't have nothln" f dew 'cep' keep
folks a-waitln'. I Vlleve he'd scent a
man like a dorg does a rabbit. 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.

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

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

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

"KB—GOT MONEY ?"
I've had an eye on him the past six
months, but don't seem to make much
headway. 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'

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."

raised the cover a curious smile cross-

"There's Miser Tom's fortune," he
said grimly as he poured the contents

The paupers crowded forward and
then looked at each other In dismay.
"A han'ful o' big coppers an' an old

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

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.

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.

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.
