"Sally Ann'i letter her come at

"She's lieen a-lookln' powerful puny

"She used to look big and chuffy

"Yaas, an' aHer he went, too, fer

A group of men were gathered at
the small store In the lower end of
the cove Just in the evening shadows
were beginning to tliicken In the
mountains. Home were seated on the
rude platform In front, while others
mounted on horseback had reined up
to near the news of the day; for the
country store nnd the post nfflce take
the placo of a newspaper in the
mountain districts.
"They tell me," said old Rotilre liar

" Taln't everyone kin git such a Job

"Want, hit 'livers to ma." said the
storekeeper, "Dial ef ye an' Hud
Hunt could both git joU thar, that
nine" all the rest of us could."
This raised the laugh on the squire,
who responded by cpeetorallng In
a keg of horseshoes that stood alone
end of the porch. Just then a pale
young fellow, whose white skin was
sharp contrast to his curly black
hair, hailed the group, and was Just
alKiut to ride H.t when the squire,
in order to retrain his standing as
leader, called out: "Can't ye pull up

"Yes, I dl.l," said the young man,
quietly, as he rode up; "I didn't 'low

"I should piles nut," responded
the squire, ipnic happy again, and
restored I .. his former position by
the laughter of the loafers, "t

ner was Indeed In love with Sally Ann,
and the constancy which shr hud
shown in her feelings for her old lover
had been a source of much bitterness
to him. "Hit seems like she mout a'

why doea he come along an' Inke olT

can't stand bein' awuy from this set

mother's cabin far up on the mountain,
ud he turned into the trail which
would soon lead him to the sitle of
Sally Ami. His heart beat fnater an he
approached the dwelling. This would

ABOUT BACKACHE.
The Varlo.i ( nor. of This Verr
Comnii.it Atlllrtl.tii fall for
lUeillenl Advlea.
Tnln In the back Is one of flic com
monest of the iils iilliietinp humanity,
and at tin same time it is often one
of the most tliihetilt to relieve ami the
most pu'linp to trace to its ori;rin.
It is n symptom of many acute dis
enses, such as spinal meniitpitis,
smullpnx, innlaria. iiitlueti.n. and so
forth, but In such cases it is of short
duration nntl its cause is usually evi
dent. av Youth's ('iimpaiiion.
The backache of pull-stouv, rennl
colic, or simple sliimacli-nehe Is nlso
an acute affair, mid disappears rapid
ly when the pnll-slone or kidney
stone is passed, or the tlatiilenee re
lieved It is different, however, with the
chronic form, which so often defies
all the skill ami inpenuity of the
physician, nnd exhausts the patience
of the sufferer with Its persistence
snd wearying, burin, wrcnchiiip
pain.
The eonditlons which mny produce
this chronic backache nre so numer
ous that a mere nitaloirue of them
would fill the space allotted to this
article, and we can refer only to the
most freipient of them.

The matron lonVs sadly at the portrait -of
herself. ta!;on some twenty odd years
ifti wlicn she had iust Btt t-iu-d from maiil-
enliood to wifehood. Thy. years slip back
as she grazes. It, seems but yesterday when she was
crooning to iicr first little one. What great changes
came to her 'w ith marriage anil maternity. Hat they
were happy changes, whieh brought her tin growing
love, of husband and children. Now she U facing
another change, which lx-cmsc of its radical charac
ter is named tin: chango of life. She feels depressed,
unhappy. She recalls stories she has heard of women
who at this time become mentally morbid, as well
as physically miserable. Her oivn feelings seem to
forecast such an experience for herself, and her very
anxiety serves to aggravate her condition.
The turn of life is a troublesome time for almost
all women. In some cases the disposition is seriously
affected or the mind unbalanced. In others this
period is marked childly by physical suff ring, great
nervousness and inetital irritation.' In almost all ease.s the
uso of Dr. I'ierce's Favorite Prescription is essential for
womanly health and comfort. At this n riod even if the
physical suffering is not great, it is too great, however
small, to be borne uiiueccs.-ai ily, when the use of Dr.
I'ierce's Favorite Prescription would give phy.-.ical health
and mental cheerfulness. In extreme c.isi-s of jdivsic.il
Buffering or mental di.s ml. r, the great worth of titis medi-'
cine is amply jirovcn J. S. Carlisle, F.nj.( (lf Manchester,
Coffee Co., Teiiu., Superintendent of Coffee) Co. Asylum,
writes: "'Favorite Prescription ' and 'Pleasant Pellets'
are the best medicines for the diseases for which they arc
rceomiiifivletl that I ever i:s:-il. 1 licy saved my wuVs"-
life at the time of change of life. I also cured the worst case of lunacy
we ever bad with your favorite 1 r.-scriptiun.' The case bad been
ur.d T the doctor's care three yi-.-.rs. I used your medicine seven or eight months
and the jtatient was ns well as ever she was in her life."
Such cures testify to the etlicacy of Dr. Picreo's Favorite Prcscdjition in extreme
cases. Its effect in the average casts of change of life js illustrated in the following
testimonials.
