A Run for Life.
A prisoner had escaped from Dartmoor
Prison. During a dense fog, which had
suddenly enveloped a working convict-
gang, one of them—a man notorious for
being perhaps the most desperate char-
' acter amongst the many desperate ones
there—hadcontrived to escape, and, for
the present at all events, had eluded cap-
ture.
It was not a particularly pleasant piece
of news for us to hear, considering that
we had, attracted by a very tempting ad-
vertisement, taken a small house for the
summer months not very far distant from
the famous prison itself. We were tired
of seaside places; it seemed as if we
should enjoy a change from our every-
day life in London more, if we were in
some quiet secluded spot, far from un-
compromising landladies, crowds of over-
dressed people, and bands of music.
Every day we scanned the papers, with
a view to discovering something to suit
us; and our patience was at last rewarded
by coming across the following adver-
ment, to which I promptly replied: ‘ To
be let for the summer months, a charm-
ing cottage, beautifully situated on the
borders of Dartmoor, containing ample
acommodation for a small family, with
every convenience; a good garden and
tennis-lawn; also the use of a pony and
trap, if required; and some choice poul-
try. Terms, to a careful tenant, most
moderate. Apply to A. B., Post-ofiice,
&c.’
The answer to my inquiries arrived in
due time; and everything seemed so
thoroughly satisfactory, that I induced
my husband to settle upon taking the
place for three months, without‘ a per-
sonal inspection of it previously. The
terms were two pounds ten shillings a
week, and that was to include the use of
the pony-trap, the poultry, and several
other advantages not set forth in the ad-
vertisement. The only drawback—rather
a serious once-was that Mr. Challacombe,
to whom the place belonged, had in- .
formed me that it was about three miles
from a station. However, with the pony-
trap always at hand, even that did not
seem an insuperable objection. He ex‘
patiated upon the beauty of the scenery ;
the perfect air from the heather-clad
moors; and lastly, requested an early
decision from us, as several other appli-
cants for the Cottage were already in the
field.
To be brief, we agreed- to take it ; and
on a scorching day in July, our party—
consisting of two maid-servants, my hus-
band, and myself, and our only olive
branch, 0. most precious little maiden of
three years old—started from Paddington
Station en route for Exetcr, where we
were to branch off for our final destina-
tion, Morleigh Cottage. The pony-trap
wastomeet us; and Mr. Challacombe
had promised that we should find every-
thing as comfortabe as he could possibly
arrange ; and as sundry hampers had
preceded us, I had no fears as to settling
down easily as soon as we should arrive.
The journey to Exeter by- an express
train was by no means tedious; we rather
enjoyed it. As our branch train slowly
steamed into the wayside station, we
seemed to be the only passengers who
wished to alight ; and presently we found
ourselves, with the exception of a soli-
tary porter, the sole occupants of the
platform. At one end of it lay a goodly
pile of our luggage, which the said por-
ter had in a very leisurely manner ex-
tracted from the van.
The pony-trap was to meet us ; and as
Mr. Challacombe had assured us it would
not only hold four grown-up people and
a child, but a fair amount of impedimenla,
we were under no anxiety as to how we
were to reach Morleigh Cottage.
‘Is there anything here for us?’ my
husband inquired of the porter.
‘No, sir ; not that I knows of. ’
‘From Morleigh Cottage?‘ Jack ex-
plained.
‘No, sir,’ he repeated
may come yet.’
‘Chance, indeed.’ I echoed in a low
tone. ‘It will be too disgraceful, Jack,
if Mr. Challaccmbe has fogot-ten to desire
the carriage to be sent)
We both proceeded to the other side
of the station. and gazed through the
fast-falling twilight up a narrow road,
down which the porter informed us the-
pony-trap was sure to came, if it was
coming at all—which did not seem preh-
able, after a dreary half-hour’s hopeless
waiting for it.
In the meanwhile, we beguiled the
time by asking the ports: some leading
questions with regard to the surround-
ings, &c., of Morleigh Cottage; all of
which he answered with a broad grin on
his sunburnt, healthy face.
‘How far is the Cottage from here f’
Jack inquired.
‘ Better than six miles.’
‘Six miles!’ I exclaimedl—‘O Jack,
Mr. Challacombe said it was about three.’
“It’s a good step more than that,’ ob-
served the porter, with a decided nod of
his head.
'It is a very pretty place i’ I said inter-
rogatively.
‘ It isn’t bad, for them as likes it,‘ was
the guarded and somewhat depressing
response. '
I felt my spirits sink to zero. I had
persuaded Jack to take it; he had sug-
gested that we should go to see it first;
but the advertisement had been so tempt-
ing. and the idea of the other longing
applicants had made me so keen to secure
it, that I felt whatever it was like, I must
make the best of it, and contrive that
Jack at lemt should not repent of having
been beguiled by me into, as be ex-
pressed it, taking ‘ a pig in a poke.”
‘ The ponycarriage is sure to come,':; 1
said in a confident way, once more strain-
ing my eyes up the deserted road. As I
uttered the word ‘pony-carriage' I de-
tected a distinct grin for the second time
on the man's face, which was presently
fully accounted for by the appearance of
our equipage coming jolting down the
deeply rotted road. Imagine a tax-cart
of the shabbiest, dirtiest description,
with bare boards for seats, and the bot-
tom strewn with straw; the pony, an
aged specimen, shambling along, with a
harness in which coarse pieces of rope
predominated. It was a pony-trap, with
a vengeance.
I could almost have cried when it drew
wand Isaw Jack’s critical eye running
‘ But chance it
o'ver all its shortcomings. And it was
all my fault.
It was too late to recede from our bar-
gain now; all that we could do was to
bundle into the horrible machine, and
endure as we best could an hour’s mar-
tyrdom driving to Morleigh Cottage.
Onr groom was a civil boy of about fif-
teen, clad in ordinary working clothes.
He managed to sit on the shaft or some-
where, and to drive us back, as Jack of
course had no idea of the direction, and,
judging from the solitariness of the
scene, we should not have been wise to
depend upon chance passers-by to° direct
us.
Arrived at last, we found the Cottage
was just two shades better than the trap.
It was a tiny abode, as desolately situated
as it was possible to conceive; the only
redeeming point about it being that it
was clean. '
The next morning, which happened to
be a very wet misty one, we surveyed our
garden and domain generally. The ten-
nis-lawn was spacious enough, and the
garden, to do Mr. Challacombe justice,
was well stocked; but the place itself
I0 quiet, so lonely.
But as the weather improved, we got
out most of the day, which rendered us
very independent of the small low-roofed
rooms. Jack and I took long walks, and
occasionally we utilised the pony-trap,
taking with us our little Bose and her
nurse.
We began to think soon of asking
some of our relations to visit us; and
the first to whom I sent an invitation was
an elderly cousin, who resided in Lon-
don, and who was in rather delicate
health. I candidly explained the out-of-
the-way nature of the place we were in,
but descantcd upon the great pleasure it
would be to have her, and my entire con-
viction that the air would do her an im-
mense amount of good. She came ; and
it was very fortunate for me that she did
so, as about three days after, . a telegram
had reached as requesting my husband
to lose no time in returning to town, in
consequence of one of his partners being
taken ill.
us; and I watched the matched shun--
drydan disappear down the road with
feelings I could scarcely repress—a sense
of foreboding evil seemed to oppress me.
I tried in vain to shake it off, but only
partly succeeded in doing so. Cousin
Susan endeavored to console me by re.
minding me constantly that Jack had
promised to return in a day or two.
Jack had just been gone for one week,
when Rose’s nurse, a pleasant girl of
about twenty, came to my room and in-
formed me of the occurrence I have
already alluded to—~‘A prisoner had es-
caped.’
Nothing could have frightened me
more, and I was afraid it might alarm
Cousin Susan, so I charged Margaret on
no account to let it reach her ears. Very
likely, even now the man was captured;
it was rare, indeed, that a convict ever
escaped ; but I had heard stories of their
eluding capture, until, driven by sheer
starvation, they often surrendered them-
selves to any stray passer-by, to whom
the reward might or might not be of
some consequence.~
That very morning, we had stringed
to drive to rather a distant spot to get
some ferns. I would fain have deferred
the expedition; but Cousin Susan was
already preparing for it. so I could only
have postponed it by giving my reasons ;
and the chance of encountering the con-
vict seemed too small to risk terrifying
her by telling her of it all. .
It was a lovely morning when we start-
ed, and Cousin Susan became quite en-
thusiastic over the ‘frowning tors and
wind-swept moors.’
‘Don't you admire them, Helen,’ she
said. .
‘They are very grand,’ I admitted.
‘ Oh, so lovely, so wild !‘ said Susan.
I was glad she liked them.
The ferns ware to be found in a sort of
ravine, which was reached by a narrow
lane ; on one side was almost a precipice,
overhanging a streamlet, now nearly dry,
but one which the winter rains soon
transformed into a torrent; on the other
side was a wood, composed principally
of stunted oak-trees, with hardly any foil-
age, and singularly small ; but all around
the trees was a thick sort of under-wood.
We had left Tom the stable-boy with
the trap by the roadside, and I had priv-
ately resolved not to let my cousin pene-
trate fart-her into the ravine than I could -
help? but she was so charmed with its
wealth of rare ferns, that she skipped
from one point to another with an
amount of dexterity and nimblenesa I
had never before given her credit for.
‘I do think we might collect quite a
hamperful, Helen !’ she said, kneeling
down as she spoke to dig up a root most
energetically. -
' We had better come another day,
then,’ I responded. ‘I don’t want to be
' late of getting back, so, if you don’t mind
just taking a few specimens—when Jack
is with us we can come again.’
‘Now or never 1’ gaily rejoined my
cousin, little imagining how soon her
own words were to be applicable to our-
selves. She pounced joyfully upon her
ferns. and had collected quite a small
heap, when I suggested that we had bet-
ter tell Tom to tie the pony to a gate,
and come up to carry them down for
her.
‘0 no!’ said Cousin Susan. ‘I will
carry them myself. Do help me here
just a minute, Helen.’
By this time we were some distance up
the ravine; the walk was narrdw and
winding; we had gone farther than ever
I had intended. I bent down to give her
the assistance she wanted in raising up
some lovely lichen from the .trunk of a
dead tree. As I did so, my eyes wan-
dered some distance from where we were
standing toward a fallen tree. I fancied
..-..—perhaps it was only fancy—I knew I
'was in every nervous state, and apt to
imagine. but I fancied I saw a movement
just beyond the tree— it was within
icy cold; my veins seemed chilling; for
a moment I; feared 1 was going to faint.
Death must be something like what I felt
on that sunny day in August when I
stood in the Devonshire ravine with my
unconscious cousin.
There it was more distinctly visible than
ever—a line of drab colored clothing,
and presently a side view of themost
villainous looking countenance it was
over my fortune to behold. If I could,
without almarming her. get my cousin to
retrace her steps about ten yards, we
should have turned a corner, and then I
could tell her enough to hurry her on-
ward. I knew she was nervous—more
so, perhaps, than myself ; but I knew we
were in imminent peril while in such
close proximity to this desperate and,
from his very escape, doubly desperate
man. :1
‘Susan,’ I said-my voice seemed so
hard and dry and shangei—‘you have
passed all the best ferns here.’
‘ 0 no ; I haven't,’ said Susan joyous-
ly, approaching two steps nearer the
crouching convict. ,
‘Am I to throw these away ?' I contin-
ued, holding out one of her best speci-
mens, and, as carelessly and indifi‘erently
as I could, moving one, two, three steps
nearer the flower.

‘I moved a few more steps on ; and in
a few more, Susan and I would both be

‘There is a much better one here,’ I
said, keeping my face well averted, for I

ashy paleness.
‘Where?’ she asked. 'Wait a minute,
and I’ll come for it.’ To my horror, she

tattered with her around the fateful cor-

‘Don’t be frightened.’ , I said; ' but
come quickly ; ask no questions. Do as
I tell you, Susan.’
She paused, afi‘rightod. ‘Good gracious,-
Helen, have you seen a wild beast?’
‘Worsa'Imm-mnred, . ‘ Do not run,
but lose no timo.‘
I ventured to glance behind. Nothing
was visible ;.bnt evory‘moment'was preo-
ious; we must reach the pony-trap and
Tom. Once all together, . the convict
would surely not venture to attack us,
and I knew that being on the high-road,
alone would in itself insure our safety.
But we had not reached: it yet ; a long
rough narrow path had~to be traversed.
If the man suspected we had seen him,
ndthing would be easier than for him to
overtake us and make short work of us.
I thought of Jack, of Rose, of my happy“
life. Everything seemed to float through
my mind as I half led, half dragged Su-
sanafter me. We had gone perhaps a
shade more than half way, when I once
more turned round, in the distance, on
the path over which we had just passed.
To my unutterable oonsternation,«I be-
held the convict hurrying toward us.
‘Bun, Susan! I panted-‘run for your
lifel'
Another twist in the road hid us mo-
mentarily from his sight ; but I knew he
was after us, running now as fast as, or
perhaps a good deal faster than we were,
though we were now both of us flying
alone at a pace which only the peril we
were in could have-enabled us to sustain.
‘For your life!’ I repeated. ‘Run,
Susan 1 ’
I held her hand. Narrow as was the
path, we managed to struggle onwards
together and to keep ahead of our pur-
suer. 'Mercifully, we had had a good
start; and it had only been on second
thoughts, some minutes after we had
disappeared, that the man had elected to
follow us. Ifelt if I once let Susan’s
hand go, she would be lost. She stumbled,
and once she nearly fell; but she re-
covered herself well, and though panting
terribly, showed no signs of succumb-
mg.
But he was overtaking us; I heard
him coming faster and fastennearer. I
heard him breathing behind us, and I
' felt another instant and he would be upon
us.
‘ Help !’ I shrieked.
‘Help 1' echoed poor exhausted Susan,
in a. still shriller treble.
I heard an oath, awful in its profanity,
hurled at us; but steps seemed to pause.
‘Helpl help!‘ I shrieked again.
We plunged forwards. I heardas in
the distance the sound of horses’ feet
galloping towards us. Another moment
and we were on tho high-road; Susan
speechless, her dress half torn ofi’ her
with our terrible race, her hat gone, and
otherwise in a dishevelled condition; I
feeling faint and sick—but safe—thank
God! both of us quite safe—with not
only Tom, seated in the shandrydan,
staring in mute amazement at us, but
with three stalwart mounted «warders,
who were even then in quest of the con—
vict.
They captured him an hour afterwards,
after a terrific struggle, which was made
all the more terrible from the fact of his
having possessed himself of a knife,
with which he attempted to stab the
warders.
Jack came back the next day; and as
his partner's illness had assumed rather
a serious aspect, he told me must give
up Morleigh Cottage, and we could
finish our holiday at Eastbonrne or some
place nearer town. 'I never could
leave you here again, my darling,’ he
said; ‘after such an escape, I can't risk
another.’ So we all, Cousin Susan in-
cluded, returned to our cosy house in
Seymour Street, and afterwards pro-
ceeded to the seaside, which in due time
Susan and I both-fully recovered from
the shock we had received in that Devon-
sbire ravine.

Dr. Schweninger, of Munich, has dis-
covered s new mode of reducing the bulk
of the human frame. It is never to eat
and drink at the same time, but‘tolet
two hours intervene. He has, it is said,
cured Prince Bismarck Of a tendency to
obesity in this way. Fat people have
now their choice between four systems:
1. The original Banting, which consists
of eating nothing containingstarch. sugar
or fat. 2. The German Banting, which
allows fat but forbids sugar or starch.
3. A Munich system, whiih consists of
being clothed in wool, and sleeping in
flannel blankets instead of sheets. 4.
Not eating and drinking at the same
time. In Huxley's " Elements of Physi.
ology" he divides foods into profeids,
which are composed of carbon. hydrogen,
oxygen and nitrogen. and which consists
of gluten, albumen, blood serum, fibrin,
synotonin, caseim gelatin and chondrin ;
fats, which are composed of carbon, hy-
drogen and oxygen, and consist of all
fatty matters and oils; amyloids, which
.are composed of carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen, and consist of, starch. dextine,
sugar and gum, and minerals, which con-

THE ACTOR WHO DOESN’T Stt'EAR.
“No." said a young actor who had
been talking to a little group of com-
panions and using a good many oaths in
his conversation, “no, all people who
play are not profane. At least I know
one actor who doesn't swear. He is
George C. Miln, the ex-preacher. I
played third witch in ”Macbeth ” in his
company one night in St. Paul. Burleigh
played Macbeth and Miln played Maca
dufi'. When we witches went out in the
caldron scene we were fixed up in first-
ferns, and carefully counted them, whilsd 01883 style, and we did the “11016 busi-
ness as nice any three witches ever did.
But when it came time for the caldron
to sink into the earth the trap-door
stuck fast and the old soap kettle tipped
over sidewise and spilled all the torpe-
does and green fire and things all over
the floor. The stage got into a blaze,
somebody shouted ‘Fire 1 ' and the audi-
ence began to get frightened. Burleigh
stood in the wings, swearing liken. troop-
er, but Miln just stood around looking
mad, and saying ‘ Oh, dear! ’ I got to
laughing and so did the other witches.
Somebody turned on the gas and showed
the whole thing to the audience. The
audience yelled with laughter, and Bur-
leigh-swore worse than ever, but Miln

time in Kansas City I was playing the

BYRON IN EXILE.
Lord Malmeebury, whose title until
his father‘s death in 1841 was Lord
Fitzharris, gives a very amusing account
of his visits to country houses, of his
foreign travels, and of the friendships he
made after-leaving Oxford. At Home he
saw much of the Countess Guiccioli,
who—Byron having died five years he-
fore—“had got over her grief for the
loss of her poet, and liked to talk of him
and his eccentricities.” In reference to
"Don Juan " "she told me that he wrote
all the last cantos on play-bills (some of
which I saw myself), or on any odd piece
of paper at hand, and with repeated
glasses of gin-punch at his side. Ho
then- used torush out of his room to
read to her what he had written, making
many alterations, and laughing im-
moderately. She was very' proud and
fond of him, but described him as having
a very capricious temper, and with
nothing of the passion which pervades
his poetry, and which he was in the
habit of ridiculing—in fact, with a cold
temperament. With all his abuse of
England, he insisted on keeping up old
customs in small things, such as having
hot cross buns on Good Friday and roast
goose on Michaelmas Day. This last
fancyled to a grotesque result. After
buying a goose and fearing it might be
too lean, he fed it every day for a
month previously, so that the poet and
the bird became so mutually attached
that when September 29th arrived he
could not kill it, but bought another.
" and had the pet goose swung in a cage
under his carriage so that after four
years he was moving about with four
geese."

“ The first pperation in converting the
yarn into thread,” writes Mr. David
Bremmer, who may be regarded as a
specialist on this subject, “is the passing
of it through a flame in order to remove
the ‘flufi’ and protruding fibres. The
gassing machine consists of a frame sup—
porting a rack for the cops containing
the yarn to be singed, and ‘a beam with
winding gear to draw the yarn from the
,cops and wind it on the bobbins. Be<
. tween the cops and bobbins are a series
of gas-jets, through which the yarn has
to pass on its way from the cops to the
f'bobbins. The speed at which the yarn
travels is in any case necessarily great,
but it is modified according to the sub-
stance of the yarn—the heavier the yarn
the slower the motion. The speed at

BYRON'S CONTEMPT 0F DEATHS
Notwithstanding Byron’s?" warned
contempt of death, nothing could exceed
his abject terror when laboring under
even the slightest illness.
He was dining at Pisa, with Hunt,
Trelawney, and Shelley, one day, when
he was suddenly seized with a violent at-
tack of colic. He hastily atom from the
table, threw himself upon the sofa, and
began to say, “Oh. my God! I am
dying !-—-I am dying! "
Trelawney, who was a very peculiar
man, went up the terrified hard, and
said, “Come, come, Byron; if you are
dying you need not make such acou-
founded fuss about it i ”
The tone in which this was said was so
irresistible that the sick man could not
help joining in the laughter with Tre-
lawney’s nonchalance caused.
Byron, who really at heart was a very
kind man, and whose nature rose at every
oppression, was very fond of making
himself out a very bad one, and when he
had indulged himiself with a little more
gin and water than usual, he would fre-
quently grow almost maudlin over his
was particular-y dismal over his own in-
iquities, and expressed great repentance.
He was very much put out by Mrs.Hunt
saying in a tone of affected consolation,
“Come, my lord, you are not half so
wicked as you flatter yourself you are.”
He gave his publisher, John Murray, as
a birthday present, a Bible very nicely
bound. On the outside, stamped in gold-
on letters, was the inscription, “ From
This was ostentatiously displayed on the
centre table of the great publisher's
drawing-room, and Murray was very
proud of the gift. At a large party at
his house, one evening, a friend was
Bible, when he suddenly cried, “ Why,
Murray, come here! Byron has been
altering the Bible! " Saying which,
he pointed out to the astonished and in—
dignant publisher that Byron had altered
a verse by drawing his pen through the
word “robber " and substituting another
word, so that the verse ran thus : “Now
Barabbas was a publisher." After that
unlucky discovery the book disappeared.
w
SWINDLING BY POST-CARD.
Post-cards are open to the objection
that what is written upon them can be
read by the inquistive-minded person for
whom they are not intended, but into
whose hands they may chance to fall be-
fore reaching the individual they are ad-
dressed to. The French concierge, how-
ever, who was known to have the had
habit of reading the post-cards sent to
the lodgers in the house before deliver-
ing them to their respective owners, has
just been the victim of his own curiosity.
Ashort time ago one came for a male
lodger, and by it the indiscreet porter
learned that the former had just inheri-
ted a very comfortable fortune, through
the death of a relative in the country,
and he was advised by the writer to come
at once to see after his property. The
concierge was amazed, being acquainted
with the intelligence conveyed by the
post-card, to find that the recipient of it
remained where he was, and appeared
rather depressed in spirit. By dint of
cautious questions, he brought the young
man to confess, with apparent reluctance,
that he had been left a fortune, but that,
being without funds or friends in Paris,
he was unable to undertake the long jour-
ney, as he was recommended to do. The
concierge, little dreaming that he had to
deal with rogues and sharpers, ofi‘ered to
advance what was necessary. The offer
was cordially accepted; all his savings,
amounting to seven hundred francs,
were placed at the disposal of the lodger,
who disappeared, and neither he nor his
“fortune " has since been. heard of by
the disconsolate doorkeeper.

PnENOMENA AT THE Egna'ron.
Twilight phenomena of a similar
character to the appearances lately so
prevalent were according to letters just
received, observed in the Island of Man-
ritius. This is especially remarkableas
in that island, as a rule, follows the day
without any noticeable transition. On
several evenings of October, however,
there was a splendid glow in the west
quite half an hour after sunset, and
when night had fairly set in this glow
soon extended over the whole sky, being
reflected on the clouds and covering the
island with a purple tint. The sea is
described as apparently on fire, the
vessels and their masts looking black and
standing out in bold relief. The same
phenomenon was observed before sun-
use.
ROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY.
A reel of cotton thread, in its ordinary
"every day use, is a pretty bit of insig-
nificance, but when trwed to its source
dis seen to have belongings and surround-
,ings which entitle it to be ranked with
”the leading features of our industrial life.
{The simple statement that the thread
‘works of Messrs. Clark (of Patsley, Eng-
land), employ between three and four
thousand workpeople,"that their group
of five immense mills contains over 230,-
000 spindles, and that these factories turn
feut every day sufficient length of thread
"to go four times round the world, will be
ionough to show that, unimportant as the
bobbinof thread may be, taken singly,
Lgit is, before its dispersion, a member of a
multitudinous aggregate, the extent of
which is bewildering to compute.
FARMS IN FRANCE.
There are millions of farms in France
containing from a quarter of an acre to
fear acres, writes a correspondent from
Dijon. Ifind that abontan acre and a half
is about all the most ambitious man wants.
The rent for land is always one-half the
dreddollars an acre; if in grapevines,
six hundred dollars. This'is why France
is like a garden. In England there are
two hundred and twenty-seven thousand
land owners; in France there are seven
million land owners. The Frenchman
on his two acres, with his barefootcd
wife cutting grain with a sickle byhis
side, is happy and contented, because he
knows no better. Such a degraded life
would drive an American farmer mud.
The Frenchman thrives because he
spends nothing. Hehas no wants be-
yond the coarsest food and the wash-
ings of the grape skins after the wine is
made. Yes. he is thrifty. He saves
money, too. The aggregated wealth of
thirty million poor, degraded, barefooted
ts makes France rich. The ignor-
ance of the French farmer is appalling.
I never saw a newspaper in a French
farm village. Their wants are no more
than the wants of a horse. The French.
man eats the coarsest food; about the
same as he foods his horse. He will eat
coarse, broad and wine for breMast;
soup, bread and wine for dinner; and,
perhaps, bread and milk for supper.
He does not know what coffee or tea is.

“Some towns will go ‘license' next

ublican to-dny. “You will find that
hereafter the republican party will not
vote or s mpathizc with the prohibition
party. hey have beaten us by their fool-
ishness this time and can never expect or
receive an ' further aid from us. They
have kille the cause they professed to
serve. Prohibition is put back an ordin-
ary life-time 1) this election.” “This
election has set ed one thing," said an-
other. “It has removed prohibition as an
issue in national politics. It has killed it.
No republican will ever again help it in
anyway.” “That’s so," said a democrat.

tionists were furnished money in this cam-

ALBANY, N. Y.
Dr. D. Kennedy. Random, N. Y. :
DEAR Sm: About eight years ago I began to
suffer from a Liver difficulty. During the attacks
I experienced severe pain, accompanied by what
I cannot describe, better than by calling it a draw-
ing in sensation. The agony of it was almost be-
yond endurance. None of the usual medicines
employed in such cases had any effect upon me
From time to time I was laid up and unable to at-
tend to any business. This covered a period of a
ear.
y Finally Mr. Lloyd. a drufigist of this city, sug-
gested your FAVORITE R MEDY as an excellent
thing for the Liver. I had not taken the whole of
the first bottle before I found most decided relief ;
the pain passed away, and to my delight I regained
the power to enjoy and digest my food without the
former distress. Nature seemed to be set going
again. I ctnnot better ex ress my appreciation of
Dr. David Kennedy’s FA ORITE REMEDY than
by telling you that since my personal knowledge
of its virtues I have recommended it to a great
many of my friends and acquaintances.
Yours truly, S Parson.
