Board For His Poems.
“Yes, | find it extremely difficult to make my living by my pen,” said the poet.
“Difficult!” exclaimed his friend. “You mean impossible, 1 presume.”
“No, | do not,” replied the poet. “l
am in the habit of saying precisely what I mean, and when 1 say difii- cult I mean just that and nothing more.”
“You don’t mean to say that you have ever earned anything by your
literary work?’ Indeed ! do.”
answered
the poet.
The well known poem, “Curfew Shall Wg Not Ring To- night,’’ in : which a young wo- man by hanging to the curfew bell saves the life ofherlovercondemn- (4 \ ed to be executed at the } ringing of the curfew, is only one of a thousand. strik- ing instances of how a wonian , will dare everything for love.
Women are readier to make heroic sacrifices than they are to take the commonplace, everyday precautions which insure their great- est happiness. Most wo- men are careless about their health. They for- get that physical weak- ness and disease will wreck the fairest chance in life and shut them 4j% out completely from ™~ happy womanhood and wifehood.
Weak, bilious, dyspeptic women are robbed of their natural attractiveness and capacity. They lose healthy color and energy and ambition. The blood becomes poor and thin and laden with disease-germs.
The true antidote for this condition 1s Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It acts directly upon the digestive powers and the liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free from bilious impurities; it renovates every organ and tissue of the pody, building up hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength and imparting nerve power and permanent vitality, which malt extracts do not give.
_ Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry Co., Ind., wtnee re the year of 1804 I was taken-with stomach trouble—nervous dyspepsia. There was a coldness in my stomach, and a weight which seemed like a rock. Everything that I ate gave me great pain; I had a bearing down sensation; was sweiled across my stomach; had a ri around my right side, and ina short time I was bloated. I wes treated by three of our best pay. sicians but got no relief. I was so weak 1 could not walk across the room without assistance. Then Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to me and I got it, and commenced the use of it. I began to improve very fast after the use ofa ow ae ne hysicians mae Boe

in favor of the ‘house.’ Anybody, ex- cept a born feol, knows that a man couldn’t afford to equip an establish- ment, hire help, pay rent and defray all the huncred and one incidental ex-, penses unless he Ccerived a profit that was based on some fixed principle and not dependent on mere luck or chance. Just where the profit comes in, howev- er, is something that very few people understand. Most of them imagine it is derived from some slight advantage ir the arrangement of the game, such as the ‘zero’ numbers in roulette or the ‘splits’ in faro, but they are very much mistaken. It really depends on a prin- ciple that applies to all games alike and might be termed the ‘percentage of capital.’
“Strange as it may seem, I could take a capital of $1,000 and begin pitching nickels, in which the chances are per- fectly even, letting the players guess either way they wanted to, and { would make a steady profit day in and day out. The secret is this: The average player has only a limited amount of money, and a slight run of bad luck wipes him out. He is obliged to quit, and somebody else take: bis piace, while the bouse keeps right on through good luck and bad, continually swell- ing its reserve with the cash of the broken players. That principle of the percentage of capital is at the bottom of the profits of every gaming house in the world from Monaco to Long Branch.’”—New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat.
He Scored on Lincoln.
In 1808 Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas bad a joint debate on the college grounds of Knox college, Galesburg. It was a great meeting, and I shall never forget the tremen- dous enthusiasm that was manifested by the respective partisans of each of these great men. Mr. Douglas had the opening and conclusion, and he got in one shot on Mr. Lincoln that was so pat that even the adherents of that gentleman had to join in the laughter.
Mr. Lincoln, in the course of his re- marks, twitted his opponent with mak- ing only one speech—a set oration which he delivered to each new audi- ence, the suggestion being that he was incapable of changing his steck ad- dress.
In reply Mr. Douglas said that he ad- mitted the charge, and conceded that his rival knew in advance what he was going to say. He wished that he could foretell with the same exactness what Mr. Lincoln was going to say, but alas! that was impossible, since he changed his argument to suit his audiences, making a fierce abolition talk in com- munities where that sentiment was strongly entertained, as at Galesburg, but in southern Illinois ignoring aboli- tion and standing up squarely as an old time Whig.

A very ordinary looking farm horse harnessed to an old wagon stood by the curb, and on the board that served for a seat lay a small dog of such mixed blood that no guess could be made as to his breed.
opposite side of the street a large red apple fell off. Before it stopped roll- ing the dog bounded across the street, picked it up with his teeth and with tail wagging rushed back to the horse, in front of which he stood up on his hind legs while the apple was taken
