A Joke en th Jokers.
"I hn a friend over at my bone
town in Wisconsin," told a drummer
who regularly conies to Detroit, "that
was elected to congress before he ever
know he was a candidate.
"You know what a complete political
whirl things took in 1S90. In our dis
trict tbo fellows of my faith bad just
been going through the form of nom
loafing and voting for . years. Not one
of our candidates ever sot a turn at the
public crib. It was a standing joke, bnt
we were too proud to abandon our or
ganization. I'll net give bis real name.
but call him Jim Huff. He was as big
hearted a fellow as ever lived, cheery
as a May morning and a born joker.
That summer ho fand gone to South
America to do some prospecting, and
we heard from him only about once in
two months.
"When we held our convention, some
of ns thought it would be a good one
on Jim to name him for congress while
be was not there to protect himself. We
did so, and just to keep the sport going
we got out posters and filled the papers
with opinions of Jim that lauded him
to the skies. We committed bim to all
kinds of reforms attributed to bim all
tbo qualities desirable in a statesman,
boasted of bis irresistible eloquence and
lamented the fact that temporary ill
ness kept bim, away from borne. The
fact was that be was as hearty as a lo
comotive.
"When the returns came In and show
ed that Jim was elected, we were the
worst fooled lot of fellows you ever saw
and were as rattled as a brood of chick
ens with a hawk flattering over it We
organized an exploring committee of
three to find Jim and notify him. When
we did find bim, way down in Peru, he
just gave cs the laugh, and the district
had to bold a special election. .De

-'THE" STAR OF HOPE.
"I had lost all
hope and cone to
my father's to die,"
said Mrs. Molts
Evans, of Mound,
Coryell Co., Texas.
"I gave birth to a
baby a year ago. the
5th of Ttrne laat,"
he adds, "and
seemed to do very
well for 8 or 9 days,
and then I began to
feel very bad, my
feet began to swell,
my stomach was all
wrong and I seemed
to suffer with everything-
that could be
borne. I was in bed
5 months and there
was not a day that it
seemed I could live.
We had the best
doctors that onr
country afforded. I
was a akeletoa.

me thought that I

my right aide just under the ribs, terrible
headaches all the time ; a bearing down
sensation ; a-distressed feeling in my stom
ach all the time ; could hardly eat anythin?
and it looked as if I wonld starve. All the
time I wonld take snch weak tremblini-
pells, and it seemed as if I could not stand
it. There were six doctors treating me

to die. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discover and his 'Fa
vorite Prescription together, and I took
them regularly until I felt as if life was
worth living again."
I weigh more than I have weished for
ten years. My friends aay that I look better
than they ever saw me. The first two bot
tles did me more good than all the medicine
I had taken. My stomach has never hurt
me since. I can eat anything I want and as
much as I want. If you want to use this in
favor of your medicine, I am a living wit
ness to testify to it, and will, to anybody
who wants to know further of my case."
