Bank Statement.
New York, Nov. 28—Weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
When any part of
the body isn't doing
the work that nature
intended it to do,
puts the whole sys-
tem out of tune—out
of harmony. When
all of the parts do
not work well to-
gether, none of them
can work just right
Sickness in one part
of the body is likely
to run into all parts
of the body. It isn’t
necessary to be sick
all over the body, in
order that you may
feel sick all over.
When children stand
a row of bricks on
end, they knock the
whole row down by upsetting one brick.
That is exactly what happens to the health
When the bowels fail to perform their prop-
er function. Constipation makes trouble
all along the line—puts the liver out of
order, is bad for the kidneys—bad for the
stomach. It holds in the body poisonous
matter, and because it cannot go any place
else, it gets into the blood. The blood car-
ries it all over the system. ■ That makes
sluggishness, lassitude, bad breath and foul
taste in the mouth, fills the stomach with gas
and causes windy belching, stops digestion
in the stomach, causes sour stomach, heart-
burn and flatulence. It makes pimples
and blotches and causes sick and bilious
headaches. Nine-tenths of all human ail-
ments are doe to this one seemingly trivial
cause. Dr. Pierce'. Pleasant Pellet. «m~

body becomes a slave to the use of the
“Pellets.” They cause no griping and are

More. Look out for the druggist Who tries

A Winner.
The usual little game of poker was run-
ning at Scliweinmngi-n’s, and the players
were all betting very freely. An unusually
large jack pot was in the center of the table,
and as the cards were being dealt old
Schwoinmagcn remarked:
“Yell, shontlemuns. I guess I win dls
hot.”
It was duly opened, and there was a
raiso or two all the way round. Schweln-
magen drew onocard, another player drew
two, and two stood pat. The betting was
brisk, and every time It came around to
Sohweinmagen he raised. Suddenly his
4-year-old boy exclaimed:
“Oh, look I Papa’s got four cards all
alike!”
“Shut up your mout’ I” roared Sohwein-
magen, but It was too late. None of the
other players would call his last raise.
Sohweinmagen took the boy up stairs. He
returned In flve minutes red in the face
and resumed the game with the romark:
"You pet I shpank dat poy goot.”
Half an hour later when all were trying
to win a big pot Schwelnmagen’s 6-year-
old girl exclaimed:
“Papa has got four cards all just alike.”
Again every one dropped their hands.
Sohweinmagon pocketed the cash, and the
6-year-old was led up stairs.
When a few minutes later the grocer’s
8-year-old son said, “Pupa has got four all
alike,” one of the players studied his hand
an unnsually long time, scratched his
bead, studied the grocer’s face and then
called.
“ What have you got?” he demanded.
“What haf you got?”
“I called. Show down your hand.”
Sohweinmagen spread out a pair of
deuces. The grocer didn’t take the boy up
stairs, but whipped him on the spot for
lying.
“Dot poy might haf fooled some of you
shentlemans, ” he explained.—San Fran-

I sat on the doorstep of Dan Winters’
eabln, abont half way up the Cumberland
mountains, and Dan himself was sitting
beside me, when e young man called Jim
eame along and halted to say:
“Look a-yere, Dan Winters, I’m e
plumb up end down man.”
“Yea, I reckon yo’ ar’(” replied Dan.
"What I sea I sex, and what 1 sez 1
means.”
“Yes, that’s yo’, Jim. Got anything
to say joss about now?”
"I hev. I’m In liiv with yo’r gal Belin-
da.”
"Shoo! In luv with Belinda, eh?”
"And I want to marry her.”
"Waalf”
"Waal, Dan Winters, yo’ve bln a-blowln
around that a feller has got to lay yo’ on
yo’r back befo’ he kin marry yo’r gal.
That’s what I’ve oum fur—to flop yo’
down ao quick that It’ll make yo’r ha’r
onrL”
“Yo’can’t do It, Jim,” replied Danas
he stood up and moistened hU hands.
“If I lay yo’, Belinda Is mine?”
“She or’, Jim. She’s yo’rs till doath.”
“Then oome out and be flopped.”
There was a clear space In front of the
door, and the pair took hold and proceed-
ed to business. The struggle was a brief
one, however. In less than 60 seconds Dan
got his favorite hold, and Jim was lifted
high In the air and then almost driven
Into the earth. He was unconscious for
•even or eight minutes, and when he re-
vived he got up and leaned against the
oabln In a dazed way and slowly asked:
“Dan Winters, ar’ I a flopped man?"
"Yes, yo’ ar’,” was the reply.
“And I’ve lost Belinda?”
“Lost her furever, Jim."
“Dan, won’t yo’ gimme another chanoe
about six months from now?”
"What’s to happen then?”
“Why, I’ll go out and find a b’ar and
wrestle with him, and I’ll find a hurricane
and tussle with It, and I’ll disklver an
airthquake and put fo’th all my strength,
and If I can’t come back yere In six
months and stand yo’ on yo’r pesky head
thon I’ll hide In the woods till I’ve hated
myself to death."
Dan said he’d give him a year and then
break his nook in the flop, and Jim limp-
ed away in search of his b’ar and so forth
