H. ffofYrfPi A Common Cold Is often the beginning ol serious affec tions of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and Lungs. Therefore, the importance of early and effective treatment cannot bo overestimated. Ayer's Cherry Pec toral may always be relied upon for the speedy cure of a Cold or Cough. Last January I was attacked, with a severe Cold, which, by neglect and fre quent exposures, became worse, finally settling on my lungs. A terrible cough soon followed, accompanied by pains in the chest, from which I suffered intense ly. After trying various remedies, with out obtaining relief, I commenced taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and was Speedily Cured. I am satisfied that this remedy saved my life. Jno. Webster, Pawtucket, B. I. I contracted a severe cold, which suddenly developed into Pneumonia, presenting dangerous and obstinate symptoms. My physician ordered the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. His in structions were followed, and the result was a rapid and permanent cure. 11. is. sumpson, sogers .frame, 'lex. Two years ago I suffered from a severe Cold, which settled on my Lungs. Icon suited various physicians, and took the medicines they prescribed, but received only temporary relief. A friend induced me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking two bottles of this medicine I was cured. Since then I have given the Pec toral to my children, ana consider it The Best Remedy for Colds, Coughs, and all Throat and Lung diseases, ever used in my family. Robert Vanderpool, Meadvilld, Pa. Some timo ago I took a slight Cold, which, being neglected, grew worse, and settled on my Lungs. I had a hacking cough, and was very weak. Those who knew me best considered my life to be in great danger. I continued to suffer until I commenced using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Less than ono bottlo of this valuable medicine cured me, and 1 feel that I owe tlio preservation of my life to its curative powers. Mrs. Ann Lockwood, Akron, New York. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is considered, here, the one great remedy for all diseases of the throat and lungs, and is more in demand than any other medicine of its class. J. F.

Astoria ronforks EATEN BY AN ATiT.TGATOB, How Eleven Little Pickaninnies Disap- peared. The alligator, when a mere baby saurin, was pulled by a savage dog from the sinkhole in the swamp, rescued by the darkey, and taken home to the cabin as a playfellow for the pickaninnies. The little darkies took kindly to the young reptile and, after it had recovered from its first disposition to nip hungrily at small black legs and arms, it became one of the greatest pets possible, waddling about the cabin and yard in vain pursuit of the chickens, and rid den, as soon as it was big enough, by two naked youngsters at a time. The wife of the darkey who owned the cabin was one of the class of colored ladies with a heart full of good will toward the census man, and there was no less than eleven of the little fifteenth amendments, as nearly of the same age as possible in the natural or der of things, several pairs of twins making the age of the youngsters more closely approxi mate. They were a jolly brood, these eleven little darkies, and the young alligator,baskingin the sun, rolling about in the mud and play ing high jinks generally. Months passed by; the proprietor of the cabin laid in abundant meal for hoecake, and from henroosts and smokehouses in the region pro vided all dainties of the modest larder abundantly, the pickaninnies waxing sleek and fat, and their playmate, the alligator, attaining length and breadth, at a tremen dous rate. The alligator, however, grew much faster than the little darkies, and after a time familiari ties with the intelligent reptile became less frequent. The family cat was not to be found one day, and subsequently the family dog also mysteriOusly disappeared; while, though wildcats from the swamps were supposed to have been the invaders, one of the little darkies had occasion to remark, after each disappearance of a do mestic animal: "'Pears like dat ar 'gator looks mity brite 'bout de eyes and smilin' round de motif terday, somehow." Dogs and cats can be replacedand the old father of the family paid little attention to the mysterious disappearance until one night at hoecake time only ten little darkies put in an appearance. "W nan's yer bruu- der? Whah's Wendell Philips Henry, Watterson Smtf?" de manded the alarmed colored pa rent anxiously. "Dunno; he was pokin sticks at de 'gator last we seed him," piped the pickaninnies m chorus. "Un, de JL.awu of heb ing!" yelled the old darkey; "mebbe de 'gator's gobbled 'im" and he dashed out doors, drove the reptile into the yard with a rail, pried his mouth open with the same instrument and exam ined the two rows of sharp teeth for wool. There was no wool there. "De chile's drowned in the slough for sartain," mourned the father, and so accepted the bur den, though a search of the slough revealed nothing. A few days later another little darkey went. There was the same search of the alligator's teeth and of the slough, but the mystery was not solved and the old darkey and his wife began to turn gray. Then, of the nine little darkies left, one after another went rapidly. Hor ace Greeley Stevens Smith, Sar cophagus Alexander Smith, White law Dickinson Reid Smith, and so on, they disappeared until but one little solitary amendment re mained to roll about the cabin and bask chuckingly in the sunlight. The hearts of the old darkey and his wife were nearly broken, and the' went about listlessly, hum ming no longer the cheerlul old plantation airs, but crooning only the familiar but melancholy song of the race beginning "I'se a mournin'." One evening the dar key and his wife were sitting watching the antics of the remain ing child and reflecting upon the mysterious fate of the ten who had disappeared, when the youngster ran around behind the cabin for something. The sound of a brief scuffling immediately after led the father and mother to rush upon the scene. The child was gone! The water of the slough showed no ripple. The negro darted around to the back of an old cy press stump in the search, and there, in a moment the whole sad mystery was solved. Propped up, with its back against the stump, in order to give the freedom to its forelegs, the alligator set, clinch ing between its fore claws a rusty table fork with but a single tine and picking its teeth hastily. The desperated darkey seized an ax and after a fierce struggle slew the monster. Between the alli gator's teeth were tufts of kinky wool which it had not had lime to remove, and an unscientific, but thorough dissection with an ax made it clearly evident where the last of the eleven little darkies had gone. The alligator devoured all the brood, but the intelligence of the reptilo was such that it had in each case, after eating up a picka ninny, promptly removed all evi dence of the crime by picking the wool from its teeth. The Erst Advertisement. An English antiquarian has beeii delving among old newspaper files and has discovered what he says is the first commercial advertise ment ever printed in a newspaper. It appeared in the Mercurius JPo Uticus, of London, dated Septem ber 30, 1G58. It runs as follews: "That excellent, and by nil physi cians approved, China Drink, called by all Chineans Tcha, by other Nations Tay, alias Tee, is sold at the Sultaness Head Cophee House, in Sweeting's Rents, by the Royal Exchange, London." At the date of this advertisement tea had been used in England about forty years, but the price was awful high, ofton reaching 20 per pound. For cleansing and hcaliiifj. foul and indolent Ulcers.

"I have used Darbys Prophylactic Fluid in hospital and private practice for ten years and know of nothing bet ter for sloughing, contused and lacer ated wounds, foul and indolent ulcers and as a disinfectant."
