Editor Medford Mail As it may be of some interest to the peo ple to know of the progress made on the Leeds and Lost creek grade I will 6tato that the peoplo in the vicinity of Leeds held a meeting on the loth for the purpose o making arrangements to complete the grade to Rogue river. A subscrip tion was started and quite liberally signed. There is a subscription list also being circulated on upper Rogue river to help build the bridge across Rogue river at the foot of the Flounce rock grade. There have been 118 days work put on the grade and the supposition is it will take 100 days more (o com plete the work and there will bo no trouble in obtaining the amount of labor required to finish it. Some of the lumber teams haul ing lumber from Mr. Gray's saw mill have been, doubling teams across Rogue river and traveling the Leeds road, thereby gaining about ten miles In distance and se curing a much better road. A large number of tourists have traveled that way but the crossing at Mr. Gordon's on Rogue river is not very safe for all kinds of teams the current being quite 6trong. I will write you again.

The h'iy and his parents knew this all right, but (ine of the neighbors did n-t, exactly catch on and some did not want to catch on, and of course made quite a talk; but the facts are: We did have a boy for a lone time, who always gave the be3i of satisfaction; and I hereby, unsolicited, recommend him as be ing a very manly, upright, capable and industrious boy, who.-e charac ter is unimpeachable. The boy left us on amicable terms with an offer of better wages by us to remain. So in conclusion I will say: To all whom it may conc-rn, (and I can't help whether- it concerns whom or not) I canVafford to be paying out money toUwthe amende honorable through the press every few days; and after this when when you see any lies from my pen it shall be prima facie evidence that there is not a word of truth in them.

A Maine ghost in a freight car, after frightening a brakeman into a chuckle headed funk, proved to be a granite statue.

Yours respectfully, J. B. Broyno & Co flore About That Boy. You may think me a little hasty, Mr. Ed., but it now stands me in hand. I have had three nghts got licked two bestout of three and had to run once, about that boy I was speaking about last week. But I told such an infernal lie about it that I never dreamed any one would take me serious. I have often heard my grandma say 6he never saw me serious but once, and that was the day I was born. My parents thoOght of making a minis ter of me, but in my youth they ob served that I was so prone to tie tin cans to the dogs tail, give the cat snuff, etc., that they at last despaired, and then looking in the bible they saw my verso was 18 : ;'The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous and a transgressor for the upright." So of course that gave, me away entirely, and ever since I have been probing around in this unfriendly world trying to see if I could find anything serious The Flro Cure. The native doctors of India practice a peculiar system known as "firinpr.' Afflicted persons, no odds what the dis ease may be. are immediately upon ar rival of the family physician subjected to the tortures of fire. A late report by a medical authority declares that there is not one to the thousand of total pop ulation in Bombay and the larger cities generally, who does not bear trace of the application of the fire cure in the shape oi hideous scars on the head, back, stomach, feet or limbs Grovo's Tasteless Chill Tonic to a perfect mi larial liver tonie and blood purillor.

There are said to be 534 lady physi cians practicing medicine in the cities of the United States. . According to the most reliable esti mates the world contains to-day 2S0.000, 000 grown women. According to the last census, the number of women above the ape of IS in -Russia was 23.200.000. It is stated by a church authority that there aro now over 300 American women living in foreign countries as missionaries. u nv, or a m Men are often wiser than they act. They know how to dc happy out some times they are mis erable.' They know there is no happiness worth the name with out health ; yet they neglect health. Thcj allow dyspepsia anc biliousness and con stipation to get a hold oa them and make life wretched. Those three complaints usually come to gether. Constipation affects the stomach and liver. That brings on bilious attacks and indigestion, headaches, sanseav, dizzi ness, queer sensations of weakness and pal pitation. Yonr nerves are nnstrsng, your system is sluggish. Yon lose ambition. The fact is your whole constitution is being slowly undermined. What yon need is Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets. They enre constipation, dyspepsia and bil iousness in the only sure, permanent way. There is nothing violent or irritating about them, they work mildly though quickly. They tone and strengthen the bowels to carry on their functions naturally. They gently stimulate the flow of bile from the liver and the digestive juices of the stom ch. .You don't become a slave to their use as with other pills. They make you reg ular and then you can leave them. That is the difference between Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets and the something "just as good," which a sharp druggist tries to substitute. Don't let him do so with you. If you want to keep your health and strength without consulting the doctor so oltcn, the best initig vou enn uo is io wmc to the" World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buf falo, N.
