Nuturo grow noma two-colored ap ple, but when you auk ber to add two additional colors be wauta time lo think tbe iimtu-r ovr, Every exporl mnnt wai a failure, but that only made the colonel and bio gardener ttio mora determined, enixx-lully the garditnor. It wu hi duty aa an employee to give kin tiiantor all hi tdoaa, but be made an exception In this one case. Ho clung to It with dogged obstinacy, but be kept It as ocrot as tlio grave, lie might have clung to It a year or so longer bud not the colonol become Im patient, He aald something one June day about giving up the experiments, and the gnrdoner replied that bo would hnve some news for blm next dny, lie asked the broker to come home an hour earlier than usual and to come directly to the large farm barn. At the hour named the colonel was there. He bad scarcely entered tbe barn when be received a crack on the bead that made blm unconscious for the next quarter of an hour. When be came to be bad been stripped of coat rest and tie and was bound band and foot II bad not caught sight of bis assailant before being struck, but now found the gardener boverlng over blm with a murderous look on bis face. "Will you toll me wbat this meana, Honryr asked tbe victim. '. "Yes, sir. I bave finally found bow to grow four-colored apples., it bas been a long time, but I bar struck It at last t hope to bave Sftf bushels on tbe market this fall" "Well, let's bear about It" "All tbe apple trees are bow In blos som. Tbe red ones art all right; and the yellow ones are all right, and I. bave found a way to make tbe blue and green ones all right I bave sim ply to sprinkle tbem with tbe blood of man wearing side whiskers. A drop ef blood to a blossom will do" the trick, and one tbe apples atart to growing that way tbey will continue." Now, (be colonel bad growth of aid wblskera that wen tbe envy of Wall street and a matter of Joy to hlmeelf. Whenever you aaw the colo nel you aaw bis whiskers. He might forget his commutation ticket now and then, but never his whiskers. The two were one and Inseparable. He didn't 11k tbe gardener reference to tbos tarred objects. It amacked of familiarity, and there waa a covert! threat behind tbe words. II was at first Inclined to bluster, but another look Into tbe gardener face satisfied him that the man had become crazy. He therefore changed bis tactic and Quietly said: " '-. r;"..r:;.."7rr "All right Henry. W will go up to tbe orchard and experiment I am de lighted to find that you bare achieved suoeetw at last" - "But how can yoo go when 1 want your blood V asked tbe man. "Too eee, you are tbe only man around here with sldo wblKkrra. If the coachman or the butler had 'em, that would do, but they haven't you know. They are fine onwi, colonel fine ones." And Chapman bent down and ten derly carenoed tbe Iron gray side whUkers that floated away from each chwk and were gently stirred now and then by the June breexes blowing Into the open door. Never bad another man on this earth except tbe barber dared to lay bis sacrilegious bands on thoHo reverenced objects of tbe money center of tbe world. "Hut we will look up some one else," sold the colonel as be felt a sinking of the heart "I know of several men with side whiskers, snd I will coax one of them bouse with me tomorrow." "But I tmwt have the blood today, colonel. Benldcs, for this first experi ment we must bave the nicest sort of whlnkcrs. There Is nothing In tbe state of New York to compare with yours. The papers bave said so over and over agnln. How soft they are! How lux uriantly they grow! How the breeze toys with them! Your blood Is all right, and the first bushel of four-colored apples shall be deposited on your grove." "But I want to see the tree you have selected. I may decldo to make some changes." , "Tbe trees are all right colonel. Here Is a knife to open an artery, and hero Is a pan to catch the blood. . What shall I do with your whisker after you are dead? It aeeuis a pity to bury 'em like so much horsehair." , , "You blamed fool, this has gone fur enough!" exclaimed the colonel, go ing to the other extreme. "Unbind me at once or I'll bave you sent to prison for life!" , :,..., -, "It won't do," replied the gardener, with a shake of his bead and taking up a knife he had mado ready for the pur pose. "You ore as anxious for the four colored apples as I am, and'you mustn't bring all our labors to naught Here goes for the blood." i The colonel began yelling for help, and fortunately the coachman was at hand to respond. He entered the barn on a run and narrowly escaped being stabbed, and the crasy gardener bad to be knocked down with a dab before he could be secured. He was found to be clean daffy and was sent to an asy lum and la there yet and should you vr visit the Institution he will beckon you aside and whisper: - -i , .-' - "Do you know that if It hadn't been for Colonel Greshom we'd ba having four-colored apples In market today? He had the blood, and be had the side whiskers, but he backed out just when success was certain." ' ; The colonel bated to port with' them, but be has had air those whiskers shaved off, He doesn't want anything around him to attract lunatics. M. QUAD.

Don't Dose the Stomach to Cure Eciema o.nd Other Skin Diseases. HIDDEN DANGERS. Those afflicted with Eczema, psoriasis, ault rheum, or other skin diseases of a oiinilur nature, should never Jose the stomach to rid themselves of the ter rible itch. They should doctor the itch where the itch is cure the skin through the akin, not through the stomach. , . Eczema and other diseases of a kin dred kind are skin diseases not blood diseases. Science . has shown that Eczema is caused by germs in the skin, and that the disease can be eradicated only by killing the germs. Dr. Decatur D. Dennis was one of the first physicians to follow out the germ theory in skin diseases. Then be dis covered that by mixing oil of winter green with other soothing agents he had a liquid prescription which killed the gcrnu and cured the awful itch, leaving the skin white and smooth. Since that time this D. D. D. Prescription has been the tsandard remedy for skin diseases, just aa D. D. D. soap is tha standard high grade skin soap. ' ,. ' The first few drops of D. D. D. give instant relief from the terrible itch and from the rightul burning of the diseased kin. So reliable is this D. D. D. remedy that hundreds of physicians prescribe it It is a wash as thin as water and asu mild and as puts, which is applied to the diseased portion of th akin. Mrs. Frances Richmond, of Milton, Trimble County', Kentucky, writes: ' l "ity little girl's fingers were sore al most to the bone from Eczema. I used part of the sample bottle of D. D. D. Prescription received from you and now they are well. It is ft wonderful skin remedy." !We carefully investigated this D. D. D. Prescription before recommending it to our neighbors and patrons, and after a ion gexperience we are more than ever convinced of its wonderful merits. Charles Rogers. You needn't decide now, but call at onr store anyway and we will show you how this D. D. D. Prescription gives instant relief from itch.

My kidneys were very irregular the secretions pass ing very frequently and were attended by severe pain. They were also very scanty and my bladder seemed to be very weak. I tried a number of remedies that were said to cure kidney trouble, but received no relief. At last I saw an advertisement of Doan's Kidney Pills, and procured a box.
