Mr. George Briggs, of Moore. 0 £111.,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for thr ec long years. Neuralgia held
him captive The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and“ 1n this manner life was sus-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: “Truth isD stranger

NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
1 years of intense suffering. The pain
~ lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suflcred agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him 111 torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He sa1s he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or ho v old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med-
'21. inc P. P. P. ., Lippmans Great Rem-
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very,
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities; and cures the dis-
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion skin and

'I‘AFI :IA\Y IN SADDLE
TO RECOVER NEW YORK
THE REFORMERS.
The Tiger is Versatile, 11ml Among Other
Things Expects 3 Reaction to Set in in
Its Favor as it Did in 1894—1111814:
“'itliin ‘Vlieels.
It has been noted that Tammany
with characteristic energy has al
ready begun its campaign for the Ma;-
orality of Greater New York, and is
unfolding a plan of attack 011 the lie
formers, who hope for four years
more to keep control of the city res
cued from Tammany three years ago
The organization has entered 111101
the campaign with almost as muc
confidence in victory as it felt it
'1892, when it had no opposition ex-
cept the feeble fight put up by the d17~
bilitated Republican machine. It is.
of interest to undelstand upon 111111
this confidence is based. It is bus-cl
upon the belief that a “reaction" is
due. Signs of this reaction have been
shown in the town elections; through-
out the state. It is almost impossible
to beat Tammany twice in succession.
Even after its crushing defeat in
1894, Tammany won in the local elec-
tion the following year: and last No
vember, in spite of the big Sound
Money Democratic revolt, it rolled up
135,000 ,votes for Bryan. It has al-
ways been difiicult to arouse the citi-
zens of New York to a supreme cf-
fort for reform city administration,
and after having aroused them once,
it seems impossibleto get them to
make another such effort in the next
Mayoralty election. It is true that
the recently organized “Citizen’s
Union" exhibits a gratifying deter-
mination on the part of the Munici-
pal Reformers to make an early start
this year, but there are special rea-'
sons, to be explained, why Tammany
believes this movement will not have
the force and momentum of the Com-
mittee‘ of Seventy campaign of 1894.
In other words, its leaders believe
that the political pendulum is swing-
ing its way this year, and that it will
reap the benefit of all the discontent,
the various petty hardships, and the
personal disappointments resulting
from the Strong Administration. Ina
local election few people have the
HOPES
FROM
courage and public spirit to rise su-
perior to their private interests. Even
though the administrationJ as a
whole, may have benefited the city, If
it has hurt any personal interest, that
personal interest will work and vote
against it, independent of any other
consideration. And the Strong Ad-
ministration has tread upon the toes
of many small personal interests,
which, in the aggregate, represent a
small army of discontent and enmity.
If there is any one achievement of the
administration which may be called.
without exception, signally success
ful, it has been in the cleaning of
streets. In fact, even if Tammany
elects the next Mayor, it will either
retain Colonel Waring in ofiice or
maintain his methods, But, never-
theless, Colonel Waring has undoubt<
edly lost many votes for reform at the
coming election. Every grocer, baker
and small merchant who formerly
stabled his truck in the street, but
who has been obliged by Colonel War;
lng to store it elsewhere in order to
clear the streets of encumbrances, will
probably vote against “reform,” and
their name is legion. The city as a
whole is benefited by this change
worked by the Commissioner, but
thousands of small merchants are suf-
fering in pocket. because they can no
longer use the streets as storage places
for their private property. In some
of the other departments it must be
confessed that reform has been a fail-
ure. There have been scandals in the
Fire Department, and the condition of
things in the Police. Department is
such that even Mayor Strong himself
says that is “a shame and a dis-
grace.” Moreover, the Strong Ad-
ministration has resulted in an in-
crease in taxes, with no decrease in
rate of property assessments. As
Strong is a Republican, such acts of
the Republican party in the state as
have caused discontent and injury
will be used by'l ammany to its ad-
vantage in a fight against any com-
bination that may be formed against
it in the city election. Thus, every
person who has been injured by the
Raines law, it is claimed, will vote for
Tammany. Moreover, there are :1
number of leading men who have
taken part in the non-partisan 01' hi-
partisan movements for municipal rc-
form who are beginning to be’ con-
vinced that after all that has been
said or done, there can be no —really
effective city government
through parties, and that non-par-
tisanship is a dream. Ex-Mayor
Grace. .1vl10 aided materially in elect-
ing Strong.
plainly to this effect. It is significant
in this connection that the new char-
ter has been drafted on the principle
of party government. It may be
' asked why,'if there is any basis of re-
ality in Tammany’s confidence of vic-
tOry in the Greater New York elec-
tion, Senator Platt should be so de-
termined to create the Greater New
York. Some of the Republicans up the
state have been asking this question,
and doubting the wisdom of passing
the charter. But Senator Platt may
hold to Edward Lauterbach’s ex-
pressed view that the reaction against
“reform" in municipal government
will not set in favor of Tammany, but
in favor of the Republican machine
organization. Besides, the charter
has been so constructed that even. if
Tammany should elect its candidate
for Mayor, the Republicans would be
pretty certain to obtain an important
minority representation in the Munici-
pal Assembly and perhaps control of
one or two of the boroughs. —Philade-l-»

MR. JEFFERSON’S THUMB PRINTS.
A Unique Album In Which Many Notables
,are Répresented.
311'. Thomas Jefferson, son of Jos-
1',.11 Jefferson, the distinguished come-
dian, arrived in Baltimore yesterday
from Washington with a singularly in-
teresting autograph book. It is not
that the book is so unique for the fam-
ous names it includes in its pages, but
that it contains the thumb marks of
several persons prominent in the politi-
cal and dramatic histories of the coun-
try.
President and Mrs. Cleveland’s
thumb prints appear in the book and
are striking examples of the singular
difference that exists between thumbs,
for it has been proved by scientists so
Interested that there are no two
thumbs in the world possessed of simi-
lar marks. In the President’s print the
lines of the thumb are bold, positive
and lengthy. It is near the first joint
of the member that the circular lines
begin to appear. In Mrs. Cleveland’s
print the lines also appear firm and
bold but the circular lines are much
higher up toward the tip.
Francis Wilson shows his print in
the, book. According to an expert in
such matters the lines indicate a na-
ture truly humorous. There is noth-
lng exactly positive about them,
though nothing indicating weakness is
revealed. But the lines are far from
regular and are such as are naturally
looked for in a person who constantly
develops a versatile wit and droll con-
ception of the incidents of life.
The Hon. Daniel Lamont, the Secre-
tary of War, has impressed his thumb
upon one page of the book, and his
p1int is strong and full of character.
it typifies candor, well mixed with de-
liberation and discretion and a jovial
appreciation of the good things of this
world.
In the play of “Pudd’nhead Wilson"
a murderer is detected by his thumb
print. upon which means of positive
identification the hero of the piece is
m enthusiast This has been suggested
05' a scientist as the best and most cer-
:aln way of identifying criminals and
upheld as far more simple and direct
than the Bertillon system now in gen-
sral use throughout this country. Con-
stant experiment has demonstrated
that the marks on the thumb never
:hange from infancy to old age. These'
marks are impossible of imitation, be-
cause they are too complicated in de-
sign, and it is impossible to destroy
the marks on the thumb except by sm-
putation. The use of the thumb-print
in connection with signatures is al-
ready being advocated in Eastern
States.
Mr. Jefferson is an enthusiast on the
:ubject of the thumb print and its pos-
sibilities‘snd importance in business
transactions. Such is his earnestness
:hat he has become known among oth-
er theatrical business men as a sbrt of
crank. An advance agent, speaking
if his enthusiasm recently, remarked:
'Jefferson has got the thumb-print idea
had. Have you heard the latest about
him?”
"No." replied a friend; “what is
1t?"
“Why,” was the reply, “every time
no gets a room in- a new hotel be ex-
amines the electric button to see
whether a man or a woman pushed it
ast.”
Business on.’l‘l1eir Own Accounts.
Two Irishman, fresh from the Em-
:rald Isle, joined the police force, and
luring their first week’s duty, they
managed to secure .a. lot of cases, and,
ill of them being trifling offences, a
arge amount of money was taken in
They were just on the point of
promotion when they resolved to leave.
{he superintendent was greatly sur-
prised when they gave in their notices,
111d asked them what they intended do-'
.ng. and if they could better them-
selves.
“Oh, yes.” replied Pat, “for you see
we are going to start a police-station
in our own account. I am going to run
chem in, and Mike will inflict the
incs." '
The Photographic Social.
The season for church sociables in
country towns is here again, and the
search after some unique and orthodox
method of attracting the members into
[his money making scheme has begun.
The photographic social seems to be
one of the latest, and every lady is re- ,
quested to bring a photograph of her-
self taken in childhood. These are all
shuflied together, and as each gentle-
man draws one he is expected to guess
the original and rejoice in paying f01
her supper.
Always Under 11. Flag.
The Augusta, Ga., News tells of a
woman in that city who has never
been from under the Confederate flag
since it became her flag. Whether
walking, eating or sleeping, there is
always a Confederate flag over her
head. While walking on the streets
there is always a flag in her hat, and
no matter how many hats or‘bonnets
she has, there is always to be found a
flag pinned on theinside of the crown.
0n the headpost of her bed is securely
fastened a large flag of the Confeder-
ate States. The flag is as necessary
for her as three meals a day. She
says she has never surrendered and
never will.
A Concise Receipt.
A story from a town not a thousand
miles from Bar Harbor, Ma, (mite
equals the celebrated note story of
Hans and Fritz. It runs as follows:
Dan and Mose, neither of whom was
noted for his eruditlon, were partners
in an enterprise which it is needless to
Specify. One morning 'Mr.
called to settle a small bill that was
due to ”them and, after paying, as‘ ed
for a receipt. Mose retired to the pri-
vacy of his office, and, after a long
wait, returned with the following:
“We’ ve got our pay. Me and Dan. ”——‘

BEAR RAISED BY A GOAT. a k
Be Grew Up to be a Fine Herder, and H4
Will not be Assisted by Dogs.
The bear that figures in the story
was known as Jack, and he belonged
to Lewis Ford, who formerly owned :3
goat ranch up on the Cerro Colorado
Mountain, overlooking the lovely valley
of the San JoaQuin.
Ford found the bear when it was 2
cub, soft, round, shining and black
Being Wifeless, childless and alone, 1111
adopted the tiny cub, and carried il
home. Once there, Ford soon found
that a. foster mother must be provided
for the infant, and so a. frightened.‘
trembling, bleating she-goat was
brought to the house to take the place
of the parents he so missed. It was
only after much combined force and
persuasion the goat could be induced
to adopt as her own the unkidlike or:
phan placed in her care. But the time
came when foster mother and foste1
clrild were as happy and content in
their relations to each other as if the
sight of a. nimble-footed blue-haired
“nanny” suckling a clumsy black bear
cub was of the most ordinary condition
of atfsirs.’ ..
The bear, which was named Jack,
waxed fat on goat’s milk, and a more
docile, tractable beast never grew up
under the guardianship of a. humane
and loving master. In the earlier
days of his adoption the baby was a
baby in truth. He would not be left
alone. And it would have been a hard.
er heart than Ford’s that could have
1 resisted the pitiful whimper of the lit-
tle fellow whenever he thought that he
I was to be left alone in the house. Had
there been any to see it in those days
they would have witnessed a strange
sight. The great, broad-shouldered
man following his flock as they grazed
on the bunch grass—sometimes five or
six miles from home—and as he walked
the steep mountain side, where it was
so almost perpendicular that .it
seemed that only the goats themselves
could gain a foothold on the rocks, he
carried the cub in his arms.
When Jack grew older he was
trained to herd goats. Previously a
number of dogs had helped Ford, but
the bear and the dogs could not agree,
and so the dogs had to go. Jack took
their place well, and they were never
missed. For several years the bear
continued to help Ford, until the lat-
ter sold his ranch and prepared to go
to his home in Europe. Then a num-
ber of his neighbors tried to buy the
bear. Ford refused to sell- him, and
said that if he could not take Jack
with him he would not go. The dif-
ficulty about shipping the hear was
overcome, and now he and his master
are living contentedly in. the old cOun-
try, enjoying the fruits of their long,
lonesome stay in the California mount-
ains—San Francisco Call.
Egg Collecting in Greenland.
Greenland boys are expert egg col-
lectors, perhaps the best in the world.
As soonas the gulls and other birds
that nest in the for North appear in
the spring the work begins. No boy
who has not practiced at great deal at
climbing the rough mountain sides
and creeping over the glaciers .is al-
lowed to venture on the perilous task.
But at fifteen, and even‘ before, ' a
Greenland boy visasetrong of limb, as
fearless of heart, and as cool of head
as any steeple-climber. Early some
mornings he takes a bag made of seal-
skin, and, with aviuncb of dried fish
or blubber, he starts out for the day
in the mountain‘s.
Up, up he climbs along the dizzy
edge of some deep inlet of the sea until
he comes to the rocky ridges where the
gulls make their homes.
An ordinary American boy and
some of them are pretty good climbers.
too—would not dream that the steep
mountain sides could possibly be
crossed; but the Greenland boy knows
just where to step, just how to hold
his stout staff, and he will walk quite
coolly along a jagged ridge hundreds
of feet above the water, where one lit-
tle misstep, a loose stone or a bit of
crumbling ice would hurl him down to
his death.
But it is only on these wild ledges
that he can find the nests he seeks.
Heze every mevice is filled with eggs,
laid almost without protection on the
rocks. -
As he approaches, the gulls go chat-
tering out and circling around his head.
He must not look at them lest he be-
come di-zzy. \Vhen bereaches a nest,
he places the big blue and white eggs
in his bag, and thus he proceeds until
he hm sa load.
Happy is be if he sees a falcon ris-
ing on the air among the gulls, for a
falcon’s egg are very valuable. But
its nest is hard to find, and often a
whole day is expended by the brave
hunter before he reaches the spot
where the eggs are laid; and .if his
bag is already filled with eggs, he slips
his new find into his roomy sleeves.—

The Favorites of the Nursery.
Most of the favorite rhymes of child-
hood are very old.
“Sing a Song of Sixpence” was sung
by little folks at least two hundred
years ago.
“Three Blind Mice” is found in a mu-
sic book dated 1609.
“The Frog and the Mouse” was 1i-
censed in London in 1580.
“Lucky Locket Lost Her Pocket,” to
the tune of which “Yankee Doodle”
was written, is several hundred years
old.
“Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have
You Been?” was written in the time of
Queen Elizabeth, three h‘undred years
ago.
“Little Jack Hornet” is older than
the seventeenth century. ——Harper’s

For His Weary Head.
Perhaps there is no pillow that will
be more appreciated than the one de—
signed for the bicyclist. The founda-
tion is white linen duck, having a huge;
bicycle wheel in the center, embroidfi
ered in Delft colors throughout the
tire, while the spokes are wrought 111'
washable gold thread 01" cord. Sus-v
pended by narrow blue ribbon from”
the spokes at intervals are cards with”
the autographs of different cycling
friends done in outline. One of the
most efiective pillows is designed in}
poppies, the extract of which floWer is
conducive to sleep. Green art ticking
is used, and it has an artistic spray of
poppies and leaves worked in brilliant
reds and fresh-looking greens. Be-
neath the flowers is embroidered in
poppy reds the gentle command, Dor-
mez Bien. The edges are finished
quite plainly. ‘ ‘

“Bless you, sir, no!” he replied.
“You see, the placard refers to the
dog. He’s blind—not mel”——Tit-Bits.
