Ayer's Pills. They aro invaluable.
For somo years I was a victim to Liver
Comulaint. in conseauenco of which I
suffered from General Debility and Indi-
restored mo to perfect .health. W. T.
Brightney, Henderson, V. Va.
For years I have relied more upon
Ayer's Pills than anything olse, to
Regulate
my bowels. These Pills are mild in ac
tion, and do their work thoroughly. I
havo used them, with good effect, in
cases of Rheumatism and Dyspepsia.
G. F. Miller, Attleborough, Mass.
Ayer's Pills cured me of Stomach and
Liver troubles, from which I had suffered
for vears. I consider them the best pills
made, and would not bo without them.
Morris Gates, Downsville, N. Y.
I was attacked with Bilious Fever,
which was followed by Jaundice, and
was so dangerously ill that my friends
despaired of my recovery. I commenced
taking Ayer's Pills, and soon regained
my customary strength and vigor.
John C. Pattison, Lowell, Nebraska.
Last spring I suffered greatly from a
troublesomeliumor on.my side. In spito
of every effort to cure this eruption, it in
creased until the iiesh became entirely
raw. I was troubled, at the same time,
with Indigestion, and distressing paius in
The Bowels.
By the advice of a friend I began taking
Ayer's Pills. ,In a'short time I was free
from pain, my food digested properly, tho
sores on my body commenced healing,
and, in less than one month, I was cured.
Samuel D. White, Atlanta, Ga.
I havo long used Ayer's Pills, in my

My wife and little girl wero taken with
Dysentery a few days ago, and I at onco

pain went away, nnd health was restored.

JIM BOWIE AND HIS ZNIPE-
How He'Oameto Invent The Famous
Instrument StrDnef.
The bowie knife was the inven
tion of colonel James Bowie, a
frontiersman, who was born in
Logan county, Ky., in 1790. In
1S14 he settled on a small piece of
land, where hjived by lumbering,
fishing and hKting; soon after
wards made considerable money
by speculating in negroes and in
real estate; removed to Texas and.
married the daughter of ex-governor
Berrymenda. In 1S29-30 he
engaged actively in the revolution
in that country, and closed his ca
reer in the bioodv battle of the
Alamo. . His knife is said to have
been invented while he was con
fined to his bed in the city of
Natchez from the effects of a
wound received in a border fray.
He was a man of much mechanical
ingenmty, and whittled from a
piece of white pine the model of a
hunting knife, which he senfto
two brothers named Blackman in
the city of Natchez and told them
to spare no expense in making a
duplicate of it in steel. This was
the origin of the dreaded bowie
knife. It was made from a large
sawmill file and its temper after
ward imprpved upon by the Ar
kansas blacksmith. It is said by
Durand in his ''History of the
Philadelphia stage," that the knife
which Edwin Forrest used in
"Metamora" was the original
bowie knife, and ht tells this story
about it.
Very many years ago Bowie
owned a plantation at Bayou Ter
rebonne. A Spanish neighbor
constantly annoyed the colonel with
petty inBiilts until, at last his con
duct became so unbearable that
Bowie challenged the haughty hi
dalgo. The 'latter-accepted and
named knives as the weapons to
be used, and also stipulated that
the combatants were to be seated
vis-a-vis astride of a.trestlc, as on
a horse, the four legs of the trestle
to be buried a foot in the' earth,
so that it could not by any possi
bility be overturned. Each of the
principals was permitted to use in
the duel whatever kind of a knife
he might select. Bowie had a
short knife,' with a broad blade,
sharp at the point and with a ra
zor's edge, made for htms-ull.
When the combatants met on tin
ground named Bowie's knife ex
cited the ridicule of his adversary.
The result proved, however, the
superiority of the bowie knife to
the long Spanish couteau-de-chasse
used by his antagonist. 1 he men
took their seats on the trestle, both
naked lo the waist. At the agreed
upon signal the Spaniard 'drew
back his hand, armed with the long
knife, to make a lunge. Bowie,
however, thrust his knife straight
forward into the body of his enemy
and then, drawing .it quickly
across,' disembowelled the Span
iard in the twinkling of an eye.
Bowie presented tho knife he used
in tho duel to bdwin l'orrest citir
iujr a visit the great tragedian
made to the colonel at his planta
tion. Horsed, Cattle and Chickens.

."I swear by those tall elms in
yonder- park" ho commenced,
but she interrupted him. "Swear
not by tjiem," she said, implor
ingly. "Why not?" ' Because
those trees are slippery elms," she
said, simply.
Wljen -people are bilious and
dyspeptic, they need a laxative
medicine. In such ' cases Ayer's
Pills give perfect satisfaction.

If He But Had.
Chicago, June 27. "Win. Pitt
Kellogg of Louisiana was in a
communicative mood at the Grand
Pacific to-night Chatting over
the political situation with some
gentlemen, he said:
"It all could have been done on
Saturday evening. Blaine could
have been nominated as easily as
rolling off a log, "and if it-had not
been for the mistake made by the
New York delegation it would
have been done, too."
"You could not have got Ohio
for Blaine," interjected one of tho
bystanders. ;
"Couldn't we2" repeated Kcl-log-ff.
"'Well, just to put j'ou
straight on that point, I will recite
a little history. 1 went myself
and saw Forakeriand talked over
the situation with him, and he
told me ho was all ready to go to
Blaine, and that twenty or twenty
five votes in the Ohio- delegation
would follow his lead. So you
can tell from that what the result
would have been. I tell you, sir,
just as sure as you stand where
you are, if we had not adjourned
on Saturday afternoon as wo did,
under a misunderstanding, Blaine
would have been the nominee of
the convention."
