Tbedford’s Black-Draught has
saved doctors’ bills for more than
sixty years. For the common fam­
ily ailments, such as constipation,
indigestion, hard colds, bowel com­
plaint*, chills and fever, bilious­
ness, headaches and other like
complaints no other medicine is
necoasary. It invigorates and reg­
ulates the liver, assists digestion,
stimulates action of the kidneys,
nurifies the blood, and purges the
bowels of foul accumulations. It
, cures liver complaint, indigestion,,
sour stomach, dizziness, chilis,
rheumatic pains, sideache, back­
ache, kidney troubles, constipation,
diarrhoea, biliousness, piles, hard
colds and headache. Every drug­
gist has Thedfopd’s Black-Draught
in 25 cent packages and in mam­
moth size for $1.00. Never accept
a substitute. Insist on having the
original made by the Chattanooga
Medicine Company.
I believe Thcdford’s Black-Draught
is the best medicine on earth. It is
good for any and everything. I have
a family of twelve children, and for l
four years I have kept them on foot |
and healthy with no doctor but Black-
Draught. A. J. GREEN, lllewara, La.

CONDENSED STORIES.
The Cat W » » the Only O n i P r e u n t
Not Embarraaaed.
The late Thoms* B. Reed enjoyed
a joke on no one more than on
himself. One such is related by a
Washington society woman who en­
joyed his personal friendship.
A fter all, the joke was chiefly on
the ledy, which may be the reason
why she and not Mr. Heed was the
Barrator. She is a cat enthusiast.
Many and beautiful are the cats she
owns; grave and reverend are their
names, chiefly borrowed from emi­
nent public personages, but none was
more handsome or dignified than
the one she had named “ Mr. Reed.”
When one day the two “ Mr.
Reeds” accidentally met in her re­
ception room and the more illus­
trious of them, attracted by the
beauty of his furry namesake,
stooped to stroke him and ask
“ What do you call him?” the
lady had a bail quarter of a minute.
She did not know just how the
czar of the house of representative»
would like the idea that a cat had
been named for him.. Sa she stum­
bled out a hastily invented fictitious
name, and the conversation passed to
other topics, when suddenly
» 7 a - per-
emptory voice sounded on the etair-
way— “ .Mr. Reed I”
“ Mr. Reed!” it continued. “ Are
you in the parlor? W'hat are ^ott
doing in that parlor?” Before any
explanations could be made a white
capped head was thrust in the door­
way and an angry looking maidserv­
ant cried, “ Come out of that parlor,
I tell you, Mr. Reed 1”
It is not on record that the cat
seemed embarrassed.— Philadelphia
