turned over to U. L. Marks, a
liveryman, for care and atten-
tion.
While the wagon was being
•leaned out Marks noted by
•'.i:\iicethatone of the news-
papers taken from it was a
Chic.. . ' T. • inn-, and upon
picking it up he discovered
that the date was the 9th of
September, 1S93, and he re-
called that it was just at the
time that lie and his wife had
been visitors at the world's
fair, and out of idle curiosity
lie turned to the "L,ost. aud
Found" department tp see if
possibly there might be anjv
thing there about the rings
his wife had found. There his
eye lighted upon the adver
-.isenient above.
A letter written to the chief
;f police of Louisville soon
put Mrs. Marks in corres-
pondence with Mrs. Turner,
ivlio had removed to a suburb
>f the Kentucky city, aud the
long lost jewels were restored.
It had taken some time for the
"want ad" to do its work in
this particular case, but even
then, the jewels being valued
by Mrs. Turner at $1,500, she
is very satisfied, we under-
-tand with the interest on the
investment.
We scarcely think that such
lessons as the incident sug-
gests need any elucidation at
our hauds. The story is en-
tertaining one in itself and we
shall not mar the telling by
pausing to point out morals
which should be perfectly ob-
vious.—Publishers Auxiliary.
From a worthless weed in-
vesting the highways of agri-
culture cotton has risen to the
mofet useful of the world's
products.
There
short signtcd that they cannot
seethes, things, but, as a rule
the}' are known by their works,
which are evil. It is also
generally the case that the
knockers on a town is also
one who will speak ill of his
neighbors, tell vile tales about
them and make trouble 111
foinilies. A kicker is a bene-
fit to the town in that he finds
fault cxis:s, but the knocker
never sees am-thing but evil
aud is a curse to the commu-
nity's peace and progress.—

The patronage ot home in-
dustries is casting bread upon
the waters and the dollar that
is spent in Texas for Texas-
made goods will return to its
owner in increased property
aud multiplied wealth.
Many thousands of people
suffering from different ail-
ments have asked this same
question many times over aud
our answer is to take "Kuro-
Tablets" a purely vegetable
compound, formulated by an
eminent physician for diseases
arising from Disorders of the
Liver Kidneys or impure
blood. F^verybody is using
"Kuro-Tablets with great suc-
cess. These tablets can be
obtained by sending a money
