CANCER CUREO AND A LIFE SAVED By the Persistent Use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla "I was troubled for years with a sore on my knee, which several physicians, who treated me, called a cancer, assuring me that nothing could be done to save my life. As a last resort, I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after tak ing a number of bottles, the sore 'liegan to disappear and my general health improve. I persisted in this treatment, until the sore was en tirely healed. Since then, I use Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in deed, it seems as though I could not keep house without it." Mrs. S. A. Fields, T51oom!ield, la. AVER'S The Only World's Fair Sarsaparilla. Ayer's Pills Regulate the Liver. Problem in Discipline and Bow It Was Solved. Corporal punishment may be abolished from the public school, and some be lieve the panacea is to be found in the following, which is copied from the "Western Teacher:" There was trouble down at Podunk, not a teach er could be found. Although the district fathers had searched the country round. , There were pedagogues' in plenty, but never one so rash As to undertake the Podunk school though sore iu need of cash. The schoolhouse stood deserted, its scarred and battered door Creaked idly 011 its hinges and the dust lay on the tioor: While through the broken window where a boy had Hung a stone, The squirrels scampered in and out and made the place their own. At last the school committee found a plucky little maid, Who thought that she could teach the school, and didn't seem atraid, Though they told her awful stories of the trouble there had been. So, though they felt misgivings, they engaged her there and then. The big boys held a meeting up in Farmer TJrown's hay-loft To discuss the situation. "Wonder if they think we're soft? No stuck-up city schoolma'ara can lord it over us." Bo they put their heads together and planned to "inaKe a iu&s. The school began on Monday and, when they'd done the chores. The little tow-head urchins and the girls in pinafores. The rosy country maidens and the boys who worttea tne tarms. All started lor the schoolhouse with books and slates in arms. At nine the school was started and tbe teacher worked with vim : Each urchin in tbe schoolroom felt her eye was iixed on him. Her quiet air of master J" made them all afraid to shirk, And before they realized the fact each one was hard at work The school ran on like clock-work, with a hum of healthy noise. And the teacher fatal error almost forgot those Doys. In working at the blackboard with a class upon the floor. She turned her back one moment and the school was in a roar. 'Twas the deacon's boy, Jem Saunders, tbe old est of them all: A stalwart, young backwoodsman, and nearly siz.ieet tan. He had waited till her back was turned, then quicker than a wink. He seized the boy in front of him and daubed nis lace witn ink. The teacher turned as swift as light; her voice was sweet ana Clear Though her heart was beating wildly, " James Saunders, please come here. I regret that 1 must punish you," he laughed - and kept his place: So she walked across the schoolroom, and the two stood tace to tac;. For a moment both were silent, and with bus vended breath The scholars turned to watch them ; her lace grew pa le as death : Then she had an inspiration as she stood and faced him there. And before he could defend himself, she kisfted mm jair ana square. It wasn't "pedagogical;" she hadn't thought it out; But the effect was awful on that bashful coun try lout. The nery crimson mounted to bis neck, and brow and ears; 1 He hid bis fare in both his hands and then burst into tears. ay. Je for the school : He studied like a hero, and he never broke a rule. The other boys poked fun at first, and called him "Jem Milksop:" But when he'd "chastised" three or four, the rest were glad to stop The story spread like wildfire through all the country side, A? mill and store and "meetin," it was talked of far and wide: And some folks took, as some folks will, a dep recating view, : - But the deacon muttered softly, "I guess that gal'H dew." ' IENVOI. Now, if you seek a moral where none was meant to be, You must look below the surface, for the moral's hard to see. Remember "Truth lies In a well," and don't make the mistake Of kissing all your big bad 1 oys for "pedagogy a' saKe. . Martin Quinn Gets Office. Mayor Pennoyer appointed Martin Quinn, the defeated Populist candidate for congress, superintendent of tbe street cleaning department. After the June election it was said the mayor would proffer the position to Mr. Quinn. The latter, however, declared he would rather remain with the American Laun dry Company than accept any public office. After that declaration his ap pointment comes in the shape of a sur prise.
