April tooll April fool;' This ex- Sresslon will be heard many time to- Jay among the children, and some of he older one will make use of It from time whereof the memory of Snan runneth not to the contrary, the first day of April has been denominat ed All-Fool's Day. It Is a day of Innocent jokes, and while there are few who have not perpetrated or teen victims of jokes on this date, yet there are only a few who have Investigated to learn the origin of the custom. The day is observed or celebrated in this manner all over Europe and America, and in the Orient, so far as that is concerned, but there Is as much dif ference in opinion of the origin of the custom as there is in the manner of perpetrating jokes on the date by peo ples of different nations. , , The month itself was reckoned under the old Roman calendar as the sec ond month of the year, but was plac ed in the Julian calendar as the fourth. The name is synonymous with spring, as it fe In this month- that the grass begins to grow in moet countries and The man trussed np so that he can neither move hand nor foot is in his helplessness a fair tvpe of many a man affected by rheumatism. Often the dis ease only partially disables, and with crutch and cane the sufferer hobbles painfully about Rheumatism can be cured by the use of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. This great blood purifying medi cine eliminates the poisons which cause the disease. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands, and so in creases the purity and abundance of the blood supply, thus giving vigor and vitality to all organs of the body which depend for their health on plenty of blood. It builds up the body with flesh instead of flabby fat The .

Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets assist the action of th "Dta-Cr covery "J buds bet-In' open. '.':'.-----" it was a ire month with the Ro mans. With uiera u wa wem Veoufc Many day were set apart tor certats celebrations and feaata and the 2Wt was regarded aa the birthday of Rome. Put In later time the first day of the month was adopted aa the prin cipal day,' and has been universally appropriated to the custom of praying pranks. Especially In England. Ger many and France K has been adopted as a day to send the ignorant or un suspecting oa some bootless errand. In the United States, with the Inven rive genius usually possessed by the American, many things have been add ed. Letters are sent to individuals, pranks played upon them, uneatable things served to them in disguise at the table, and, in fact everything short of personal injury is resorted to, just to "April fool" a friend or acquaint ance, or even a etrangxsr. In Scotland a victim Is called a "gowk." In France he Is called a "silly-fish" easy to catch. In tha English speaking countries, however, he Is generally called a "fool." In tracing back the custom some have advanced the remarkable theory that It originated at the time Noah sent the dove out from the ark. Another the ory ts that It came from the sending of Christ about to and fro between Herod. Pilate and Olaphaa A later theory has been advanced to the ef fect that it came from a feast cele brated by the Hindoos wherein the day was devoted to all manner of pranks both at the feast and elsewhere, where the greatest of the cltiienshlp took part. It is claimed that England and Germany derived the custom from Prance. Wherever the custom may have or ijrinated and whatever little benefit may be derived from it, ft has become an universal one and will doubtless grow in popularity, from the fact that fun-lovere are ever on the Increase, will be wel to weigh it before giving it too much credence; or K might be well not to go hurriedly to every place directed .and some may even find a favorite dish at meal time ever so tempting, but digulaing some indiges tible substance beneath. But like Hal loween jokes, R la best to take every thing goodnaturedly. In the mean time look out for the unpleasant words to the victim: "April fool!" According to the nature of things R la getting a little warm, politically, already In Portland. Gen. Miles plan was to take a num ber of Porto Rlcana and Cubans over to the Philippines and have them tell the Filipinos how nice the Americans had treated them, and by this means bring the war to a close. Had his scheme met the approval of the presi dent it is possible that the general would have met with great difficulty in getting an audience with the Fili pinos with whom mission work would do good. Our soldiers have been try- ng to get In long range gunshot with them for some time and rarely ever succeed. ' - , y ' If singleness is bliss ,of course it la folly to be wives. PERFECTION AT LAST.

"After using a few bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure my wife received per fect and permanent relief from a se vere and chronic case of stomach trou ble," says J. R. Holly, real estate insurance and loan agent, of Macomb, IlL "Befor using Ko dal Dyspepsia Curs she could not eat an ordinary meal without intense suffering. She is now entirely cured. Several physicians and many reme dies had railed to give relief." You don't have to diet Eat any good food yon want, but don't overload the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Curs will always digest it for you. Charles Rog ers. A man's thirst is often due to a lack of spirits. COUGH SETTLED ON HER LUNGS.
