a serious matter. If some one
has been induced to personate
McCullough in making this affi
davit the facts should be ex

ment from McCullough to the
effect that he has made no such
affidavit for Davis.—Little Rock

GAVE HIM A FRIGHT.
But When the Rxplunatlon Came
Henry Found Out Things Were
Not So Bad.
He was a constant visitor. He favor
ably impressed her sisters and mother
by his dignified behavior and sensible
conversation. He would probably have
had the same gratifying effect upon her
father, but as the latter was completely
immersed in business he was at home
very little of the time. The young man
had a dim recollection of being intro
duced to him once and speaking a word
or so, but since that time had not seen
him at all. However, this didn’t bother
him much, and his love affair came to a
focus rapidly, says London Tit-Bits.
When he asked the young lady to be
come his wife she referred him to her
father.
“I’ll see him to-morrow, dear,” he re
plied.
“No, I don’t think you can,” she an
swered; “he’s going out of town on a
long business trip to-morrow evening,
and so will not be here when you come.”
“By Jove, then,” responded the young
man, “I’ll drop in on him at the office.”
The next day he turned up at the place
of business of his idol’s father. He
knew he was head of the concern. He
made his way into the office and there
confronted a very busy gentleman in
deed. Asking for a moment of the lat
ter’s time, he said:
“I have come to ask you for your
daughter’s hand.”
The man addressed stopped, turned
round and looked at him a moment, and
then said:
"I'm sorry to tell you, young man, but ■
my daughter is to be married to-mor
row.”
Without waiting for an explanation
the horror-stricken suitor rushed from
the building. He hailed a cab and drove
madly to the young lady’s home.
"What—what does tT all mean?” he
gasped, as soon as he saw her. "Speak!
What does it mean? I have just seen
your father at his office, and he says that
you are to be married to-morrow.”
"Why, Henry,” she ejaculated, In a
tone of astonishment, “my fathesJL
Why, he left for the north last night’;
A little further conversation revealed
the fact that Henry had been speaking
to her father’s partner.
Catbirds Defeat Blacknouke.
A writer in the Scientific American
says: “I witnessed a pair of catbirds
making a bold defense against a black
snake bent on devouring the contents
of their nest. At first the snake was in
clined to disregard the distressed birds
as they fought to drive it away, but the
blows of their wings and bills became so
annoying that the thief had to seek
refuge in flight On reaching the roots
of a tree from which the river had
washed the dirt the snake started to
climb, only to be driven beneath them
and then out to an old stump, under
which the baffled and beaten repUls
took refugs.”

state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the

about the World’s Fair, to be
held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
kept well informed by the farm
visitor, a regular supplement of
the paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every field
of activity, and through the un

vice of the twice-a-week Repub

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
It is as important that the worn-out parti^es and impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high esteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eoeema,
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy,
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and
a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co.. Detroit. Mich.
