HIDDEN PLACES. Why a weasel should hate a rat Is strange as he is only an elongated rat himself. Bats and mice love hidden places, and a weasel'is about the only living thing that can find them out.

Fifty years ago a Presidential cam paign was associated with mass meet ings and barbecues, and every one was expected to go out and "holler for his man." Even women and girls became partisans to help along their side. A contributor to the Chicago Times-Herald tells how In the "campaign of '44" the Democratic women of a county In southern Ohio displayed their patriot ism. : ' The "big meeting" was advertised to be held at the county seat. It was usual to offer a prize for the largest delegation, or the most unique parade, In order, to engender a rivalry In the townships. . The citizens who crowded the mud sidewalks were startled by a great snapping of whips, stentorian "Gees" .nd "Haws" and "Ya-a-backs!" The great wagon came lumbering along, and the singing of female voices fixed the attention of the spectators upon what was an Illustrated volume of woman's Interest In polities. Upon a long wagon, seated on either side, with their backs together, were seemingly a multitude of girls or young women, rugged, red-cheeked lasses. All wore dresses reaching to the knees, but not a shoe nor stocking .In the entire load. Instead the sturdy limbs and feet were painted a dazzling carmine red, and these swinging In the sunlight, produced an effect so weird as to be startling. . , As, the oxen waddled farther along, some enthusiastic Polk man discovered that the shapely limbs were stained with pokeberry juice, and cheers for "Polk and Dallas" rent the air. It la a picture that would startle the most daring agitator of to-day. But it was the spirit of the times. , The English island of Thanet (form ing a part of the county of Kent) Is al most wholly composed of chalk. The island Is ten miles in length and about five in breadth, and has more chalk ex posed on its surface than any other spot of equal area on the globe. British geologists say that there are not less than 42,000,000,000 tons of chalk "in sight" on Thanet, and that It . would take 10,000 men and 5,000 horses and carts 20,000 years to move It, providing it were dug up ready to be carried away. St. Louis Republic. A Young Woman Gains 20 Pounds Her Physician? in Iowa Said She Was Going Into a Decline, and That' Her Lungs Were Affeoted They Sent Her to Nevada. But to Fight Lung Troubles or Any . Wasting Disease, Build up ' Your Flesh. From the Express, Los Angeles, Cal. Two years ago, back in Eastern Iowa, Miss Maude Lease began to go into a decline. She lost flesh rapidly. Her appetite failed, Fearful headaches nearly drove her frantic. She consulted local physicians good, honest, practi tioners. They told her that her lungs were affected; that medicine might alleviate, but a change of climate was the only remedy that offered a prospect of cure. Ill and despondent she delayed as long as possible her departure, but at last it became imperative, and she came to an aunt at Verdi, Nevada, in the hope of finding health and strength in the pure air and among the pines of the Sierra Nevadas. But she con tinued to. fail, and to add to her mis eries, learned to know the anguished sufferings which attend that complica tion of ills, that for want of better nomenclature, has been denominated "female weakness. " And now comes the miraculous part of the story, just as she told it to the interviewer last night: "I ran down to 118 pounds," she said, "-suffered tortures from those ter rible headaches and from sleeplessness.' My aunt persuaded me to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had used nearly every kind of 'prescrip tion,' could get no relief from them, and hoped for none from these pills. But to please auntie I began to take them. From the first day I noticed a beneficial effect. The headaches grew less severe;' my appetite gradually re turned. I could sleep nights' and be gan to get good and strong. "I used to take one of them three times a day. In two months L weighed 188 pounds, and was entirely well, and have been well ever since. The win ters at Verdi were very cold and,- be sides, I had heard so much about South ern California 'that I came to, Los Angeles. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have helped me more than anything I have j ever taken. I thank them for my I health and ability to enjoy life. I am living at No. 800 Hope street, Los An geles, and shall be only too glad to re peat what I have just said to anybody, either in person or by letter." ' So spoke young and attractive Maud Lease, and no one who saw her big eyes snap as she said its could doubt the earnestness and sincerity of her state ments. ' , : ' And that is why we say the story of a miracle is floating through the air, although now the miracle has become an established fact. . Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, soiatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, . all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of prioe, 60 cents a box, or six boxes for $2. 50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' ' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.
