Touching Scenes Enacted
In Georgia's Capital City.
Throngs of Health-Seekers Resemble Walking Hospital and Stories
Are Told That Would Wring Tears From
Hearts of Steel.
Atlanta, Ga. Stories of strange and
remarkable results that have been cir
culated in this city by scores of per
sons who have used the New Iioot
Juice treatment for rheumatism.stom
ach trouble, kidney disorders and sim
ilar complaints, reached even the
humblest hovels of the poor and des
titute and throngs of cripples and in
firm poured into the drug store where
the demonstration was held to beg or
buy the strange new medicine that is
said to exert its powerful influence
over certain diseases in a manner that
seems almost miraculous.
Pale faced, weak and sickly widowed
mothers, with ill-nourished infants
clutching at their skirts have told
stories of suffering, sickness, priva
tions fnd dispair that have caused
strong men to turn away and hide
their tears.
Once healthy and able men now
crippled by the ravages of merciless
rheumatism, with faces lined and
drawn by pain and suffering, have
hobbled in on cane and crutch, telling
of families dependent upon them, of
neglected little ones end sickly wives,
begging just one bottle of the great
new liquid that may possess the pow
er to change their condition, strength
en their weak and stiffenek muscles
and enable them to care for the loved
ones at home.

bottles. The cards are supplied by
the main laboratories at Fort Wayne,
Ind., and can be obtained by any
worthy and deserving person whoi
needs medicine and has no money to
pay for it.
Not only have the poor people be
come interested in the strange liquid
but persons in all walks of life; mer
chants, business men, everyone is
talking about Root Juice and its won
derful cures
So quickly and marvelously have
some severe cases been reported cured
that stories have been circulated to
the effect that the medicine possesses
miraculous power, but this of course
is ridiculous and untrue.
On the walls of one of the
rooms in the Tower of London
is to be seen the following in
scription: "To liye without a
dream, what is that?" It was
written centuries ago and no one
knows who wrote it. All the
same the sentiment is true.
The man who has no dream or
vision will never accomplish
mudh in this world. The dreams
of great men of former days
are the realties of to-day. But
for their visions the world would
be distinctly poorer than it is.
Lest any may think that only
ine great can have such ideals
and make it possible for their
vissions to assume tangible form,
let it now be overlooked that
that every one ought to have
his dream of what may be and
what ought to be, and that his
own life will be enriched and
the world made better if he
seeks with earnestness and wis
dom to make his dream an actu
aliy. 'How to Bankrupt the Doctors.
A prominent jSew York physician
saj's, "If it were not for 'the thin
stockings and thin soled shoes worn
.by the women the doctors would prob
.ably be bankrupt." When you con
tract a cold do not wait for it to de
velop into pneumonia but treat it at
once. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is intended especially for coughs and
colds, and eas won a wide reputation
by its cures of these diseases. It is
most effectual and is pleasant and safe
to take. Tor sale by Paull Drug Co.

Many of those who have used it
however, say that the good effect is
felt so quickly that it does seem al
most like a miracle.
Persons who for years have suffered
from loss of appetite, indigestion,
gas on the stomach, pains, belching,
bad breath, shortness of breath, and
other such symptoms of severe and
chronic stomach trouble say that the
lirst few doses paoduce noticeable
benefits
Mr. P. C. Harrison, a well known
plumber of Atlanta, who has used
the new treatment for rheumatism
met a friend on the street who re!
marked- "How well your are looking,
The doctor is bringing you around
in tine shape." "Doctor nothing,"
Mr. Harrison replied. "I have not
seen the doctor for three weeks I
have been using the new Root Juice
treatment that everyone is talking
about and am feeling line." After
telling of the above incident Mr.
Harrison said, "I have been suffering
from rheumatism and constipation
for live years and in wet or changeable
weather my joints would swell up and
pain so terribly that I would have to
have them lanced. The pain was
terrific and sweat would stand out on
my forehead in large drops. At times
I had no appetite, could not eat and
could not sleep or work. I am a
plumber by trade and am now at
work again I have no more rheuma
tism or swolen joints, my bowels are
regular and I feel like ray old self
again, thanks to this great medicine."
Other well known persons who have
suffered from rheumatism, indigestion
backaches, nervousness, headaches,
sleeplessness, dizzy spells, weak kid
neys and bladder, too frequent, scanty
or burning urine, tired, worn out and
run down feelings, report equally
good results and mans say that the
first few doses maee them feel bet

sold in immense quantities and drus
gists everywhere say they have never
known a medicine for which the de
mand was so great.

Croup and Cough Remedy.
Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks
children so suddenly they are very apt
to choke unless given the proper rem

in the world than Dr. King's New

Manchester, Ohio, writes about his
children: "Sometimes in severe at

but since we proved what a certain
remedy Dr. King's New Discovery is,
we have no fear. We rely on it for
croup, couglis and colds." So can you.

Basket Toss.
Select a number of small fruit bas
kets, all the same size, and have a box
of checkers handy. Suppose you have
five baskets. On the bottom of one
mark 20, on another 15, on two 5, and
on the other 0. Place the baskets in a
row on the floor. Choose sides, giving
the black checkers to the leader on
one side and the red ones to the other.
One side lines up about ten feet away
from the baskets, the leader giving
each player a checker. If there are
any left he keeps them and has the
right to throw them after the others
have all thrown.
Each one in turn throws his checker
into any basket, trusting to luck that
it falls into a basket with a number on
it. When all have played the leader
turns up each basket to see its num
ber and counts the number of check
ers in it. If there are two in basket
No. 20 it counts forty, if three in a
No. 5 basket it counts fifteen. Any
number in basket 0 count nothing.
Then the score on that side is added
up, and the number of checkers that
fell outside the baskets is deduced
from the total. The other side then
lines up and plays as the first did. The
order of the baskets must be changed
occasionally so that no one knows
which is which. The game continues
until a certain number 300 or 500. as
previously agreed upon has been
reached. The side scoring that num
ber of points first is victorious.
The Huntsman.
One person represents the hunts
man. The other players call them
selves after some part of a huntsman's
belongings. For instance, one Is his
cap, another the horn, others the pow
der flask, gun. cartridges, coat, boots,
etc.
A number of chairs are arranged in
the middle of the room, and there
must be one chair less than the num
ber of players. The players then seat
themselves around the room while the
huntsman stands in the center and
calls for them, one at a time, in this
way: "Gun!" At once "gun" rises and.
going behind the huntsman, takes hold
of his coat. "Cap," "Belt." "Shot."
"Coat," the huntsman cries, or he may
tell a story of adventure, bringing in
these names. Each person who repre
sents tlu'si? articles must rise when UN
or her name is called and place himself
behind the player summoned just be
fore him and hold fast to him. At
length the huntsman has a long lino
behind him and begins to run around
the group of chairs, all holding to the
player in front and running until the
huntsman suddenly cries. "Bang," and
all scramble for chairs and sit down as
quickly as possible.
Of course one is left standing, and
he becomes huntsman.
Hall Tennis.
All that is required for this game is
a cord and a toy balloon. Fasten the
ends of the cord to opposite walls of a
hall or room, having it about the height
of the shoulder and drawn tight and
even across.
Now use the toy balloon as the tennis
ball and the right hand as the rocket.
The balloon may be struck twice so as
to get it iu good position before the
serve over the line. The game then
consists in returning the balloon as
long as possible. A failure to return
makes a gain of one point tor the op
ponent, and four points make a game.
The whole thing seems very simple,
but try it and see. Much depends on
the way the balloon is struck. A stroke
on the underside will send the balloon
up above your opponent's head, and a
stroke sending the balloon so that the
underside will just touch the string
sends it curling downward out of the
reach of the opponent and back to its
starting place.
If the balloon .does not pass over the
string the point is lost to the one giving
the stroke.

An Acorn Tea Party.
An acorn's the usefulest thins that 1
know
At least things that grow upon trees.
When children are lonely bing! into their
laps
Pop acorns brought down by the breeze.
A party with acorns for dishes and cups
Is the pleasantest thing to me,
But sometimes while eating they drop on
your head,
And sometimes they pop in your tea.
Oh, many's the thing that an acorn will
make
A basket and dishes and bowl,
Not even to mention the cradles and
pipes
And brownies with faces no droll.
t evening I lay them away in a box
And put my dear brownies to bed,
But when in. the morning I seek them
again,
Alas, ther are shriveled and dead!
A NIHILIST'S
LUCKY ESCAPE
Saved From Siberia by the
Wit of a Girl.
"I am going to St. Petersburg on a
mission," said a nihilist in New York
to a fellow worker. "Do you know
any one there who will shield me if
cornered?"
The question was answered by a
story.
Not long ago I was there myself.
One day I was directed to carry a bun
dle of printed revolutionary documents
from our rooms to the house of a mem
ber in a different part of the city. I
studiously avoided any haste, saunter
ing along as though I had no wish to
be at the end of my route. At a street
crossing, glancing aside to avoid being
run down by some vehicle, I saw a
man standing on the opposite corner
with his eyes fixed intently upon me.
He had his hands in his pockets and
was apparently loitering, but the mo
ment he saw that I noticed him he
started off briskly in the opposite di
rection from what I was going.
Nevertheless he did not lose sight of
me. I had-not gone far when, in order
to be able to look back without my de
sign being suspected. I stopped before
a shop window, glancing rearward out
of the corner of my eye. I was just in
time to see the man I was looking for
disappear in an alley.
I was now thoroughly frightened.
Without doubt he was shadowing me.
For some time I watched him with one
eye and the policeman I happened to
see by the way with the other.
We nihilists, of course, all knew the
location of the police stations and the
residences of the officers. Suddenly
noticing that I was passing the house
of the chief of the district, it occurred
to me to play a desperate game. I re
solved to bluff my watcher into the be
lief that he was after the wrong man
by boldly entering the house. What
under heaven I was to do there I did
not know. Mounting a few steps, I
tried the door. It was locked, but at
the moment was opened by a young
lady in hat and wraps, evidently about
to come out. I stepped inide without
an invitation and closed the door.
"May T speak with you a moment?"
1 asked, removing my hat.
The parlor door was open, and as I
looked wistfully into the room she mo
tioned me to enter, then followed. I
turned and faced her. studying by her
expression what kind of a person I had
to deal with. Then I spoke in a low
voice, seriously, pleadingly.
"You have the life of a fellow being
in your keeping."
"I?"
"Yes; I am a nihilist In this pack
age are revolutionary documents. A
man outside has been shadowing me.
He will come in to make sure that I
am not what he suspects. The result
will be Siberia. Rather than that
death!"
I took a revolver from my pocket
"If I am discovered trying to save
you it means ruin for me and my fa
ther. He would go to Siberia instead
of you."
"You are right" I replied. "I will
not ask or accept such a sacrifice."
I placed the muzzle of the revolver
in my mouth and drew back the ham
mer. Before I could puH the trigger I
felt a soft hand on my arm.
"Undo your package." she said. "Be
quick!"
I untied the strings and unfolded the
paper. The girl, snatching a dozen
books from the library, tossed them to
me. I put them in the place of the
documents and tied up the package. 1
had not quite finished when there was
a ring at the doorbell. Throwing the
documents under the sofa, the young
lady went to answer the summons. I
seated myself on the sofa, holding the
package in my lap. When the door
was opened I heard voices in the hall.
"Is the colonel at home?"
"No; my father is out."
"I am one of the secret police. A
man has come in here whose name is
on the black list It js quite probable
that be is playing a double game, pre
tending to work for your father."
"There is a man in the parlor, a mes
senger from a friend of mine who has
sent him to return some books 1 lent
her."
"Can I see him?"
"Certainly."
ily shadower entered.
"Stand up." he said.
I did as he commanded, and be
searched me. Not finding anything to
compromise me. he untied the package
and found the books. He was not sat
isfied, but there was nothing for him
to do 'but acquiesce. No one is to be
trusted in Russia, and even this daugh
ter of a police official was suspected
by the man, as 1 could see by his
looks.
"I am sorry to have to disturb you,"
tie said to her. "but when 1 come to
recount the matter to your father 1
Jim sure he will bear me out in what
I have done. Good morning."
The narrator ceased and the listener
asked:
"The name of this young girl?"
"Not for my life would I give it"
"Ah, well, I can't blame you. What
did you do next?"
"I was ordered by our chief to leave
the country as soon as I could do so
without exciting attention. He feared
that in addition to being in jeopardy
myself. I would bring down the police
on all the rest of our society. I. made
an attempt to leave the same night,
succeeded, made for the coast and em
barked for America."
