I raised blood, and never expected to get off my bed alive. I then read of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and began its use. I commenced to improve at once. I am now back to my old weight and in the best of health.”—Cuas. E. HARTMAN, Gibbstown, N. Y., March 3,.1899. You can now get Ayers Cherry Pectoral in a 25 cent size, just right for an ordinary cold.

Philadelphia Inquirer: “That was a funny incident that happened the other night,” said one. of Philadelphia's “finest,” “that burglar cat, I mean the cat being mistaken for a burglar. But { remember a much more serious mat- ter than that resulting from the ap- pearance of a cat at a window of the house of a friehd of mine living in Brooklyn. One evening in the winter of 1892 my friend’s wife was sitting in the back parlor’ on the ground floor waiting for her husband to come home to tea. It was quite dusk, but she had not lighted the lamp and was doing a little dreaming, I suppose. Something happened, and when my friend let him- self in with his latch-key he found his wife on the floor in a dead faint. He did all he knew to bring her back to consciousness, unsuccessfully, and finally had to leave her and run out for a doctor, who, fortunately, lived only a couple of doors away. After a lot of trouble the doctor resuscitated her, but she immediately became hys- terical and went off again: In her: hysterics she kept calling out that there was a man trying to get in at tee window. The next day she described him as a man with a rough fur cap and a beard and striped coat; that’s all she could tell, and as it was so dark. He tried to break the window, but when she shrieked and fell in a faint he must have been frightened and escaped. Of course, the story was booh-poohed, but the lady insisted she was right. Two days later my friend went home and found her again uncon- scious. This time she was so seriously frightened that it was several days be- for she was able to attend to her house duties, and her mother came to stay with her, Another two days passed. There had been no further attempt on the part of any man to break in. The | mother had persuaded her daughter to take a nap, saying she would prepare tea, and she went down stairs to do so. It was a little later than usual, and my friend was already due home. In fact, he had the key in the keyhole, when his ears were saluted by a series of piercing shrieks. He rushed into the house and found his mother-in-law in a faint and his wife gibbering like an idiot and pointing at the window, on the sill outside of which sat a huge Angora cat with one paw up at the pane; It was nearly two years before his wife recovered her reason.” | HOW RILEY GOT HIS START. | The Sweet Singer Had Struggles Which He Successfully Overcame. James Whitcbmb Riley’s success be- gan with what he considered a terrible misfortune. He tells his friends that the day on which he was discharged from the staff of the Indianapolis Jour- nal was one of the darkest of his life. The future seemed to hold nothing for him, says the Chicago Times-Herald. It happened, however, that a state po- litical convention was held in Indian- apolis at about that time, and among the nominees was a very portly gentle- man who had. never made a public speech. The convention called for him after he had been nominated, and when he appeared upon the platform a speech was demanded. He cleared his throat, stood on one foot and then on the other, and said: “Gentlemen of the convention: I thank you for the honor you have given me. I can’t make a speech, but I can.tell you one thing. The ticket you've nominated here today is a-goin’ to win ‘When the frost is on the pun’kin and the corn is in the shock.’ ” The uproar which followed indicated | that Riley’s poem, first published only a few days before, had been read by everybody present, and that it had touched a tender spot.. This circum- stance more than anything else in- duced the business manager of the Journal, who was Riley’s steadfast friend, to undertake in partnership with the poet to have a little book, “The Old Swimmin’ Hole and ‘Leven More Poems,” published, It made an immediate hit and gave Riley a na- tional reputation. Delicate Girl. From the Minneapolis (Kan.) Mes- senger: A young man spent Sunday with his best girl over on Pipe Creek somewhere and noticed she did not eat much for dinner or supper. He asked her with a kind smile if she was sick, and she replied by saying she seldom ate much at any time. On Monday morning he met the girl's little broth- | er going to school and asked him how } his sister was. The little boy told him that “she was just awful sick, that mama told her that she had eaten too much pumpkin pie, cold cabbagé and fat bacon last night after you went home.” ‘The young man asked if a doctor had been called. The boy said, “No; Sis is afraid to send for Dr. Aplin for fear he would find out what made her so sick and tell it to her friends.” Wheeling. There is no reason why middle-aged or even old\men should not take to cycling, but it should be with a frank recognition of i. viions which age imposes. Great speed, long dis- tances and hill climbing put a strain on the constitution and will find out the weak places—the parts of the sys- tem which are aging faster, perhaps, than the rest; the heart, it may be, or the vessels of the brain. So also in regard to riding bicycles in crowded thoroughfares; the strain on the atten- tion is considerable; the risk is not small if a man has lost the quickness of youth. If you are young you may ride fast; if middle-aged at a fair pace; but old men should be very careful and never ride at a greater speed than five miles an hour.—Chicago Tribune. Not What He Meant.
