FULL INVESTIGATION.
A Former Victim of Locomotor Ataxia
Now l'reo from Suffering? uml
Actively at Work.
" Yes," said Mr. Watkins to a reporter,
*' it i3 truo tliat I havo been cured of
ataxia by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
"Aro you sure you had locomotor
ataxia?"
"Tlio doctors themselves told 1110 so.
Besides I recognized tho symptoms."
" What were they?"
"Well,-tho first indications were a
stiffness about the kneo joints that camo
011 about four years ago. A few months
after that appeared, my walk got to bo
uncertain, shaky-like. I lost confidence
in my power to control tho movements
of my logs. Once, when I was in tho
cellar, I started to pick up two scuttles
of coal, and my legs gavo way suddenly,
and I tumbled all in a heap in a basket.
I couldn't close my eyes and keep my
balance to save my life. Then I had
fearful pains over my whole body and I
lost control over my kidneys and my
bowels."
" How obout your general health ?"
" Sometimes I was so weak that I had
to keep my bed and my weight fell off
twenty pounds. Things looked pretty
bad for mo until I ran across a young
man who had been cured by Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills and who advised me to
try them."
"Did these pills help you right awav?"
" I didn't see much improvement un-
til I had used six boxes. Tho first bene-
fit I noticed was a better circulation and
a picking up in strength and weight. I
gradually got confidence in my ability
to direct tho movements of my legs, and
in tho course of seven or eight mouths
all tho troubles had disappeared."
" Do you regard yourself as entirely
well now?"
" I do the work of a well man at any
rato. I can closo my eyes and stand up
all right and movo about the same as
other men. The pains aro all gone ex-
cept an occasional twitch iu thu calves
of my legs."
Mr . James H. Watkins resides at No. 72
Westerlo street, Albany, N.Y. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills can be obtained at any
drug store. They should bo used as soon
as tho first signs of locomotor ataxia ap-
rnw iu a peculiar uumbnesa of the foct.
Had No Use for Water.
An English writer tells of a Ken
tish farm worker whose horny hand
ho grasped. "Good Kent dirt," said
the man, catching a critical glance.
"Haven't had time to wash your hands
before tea?" was tho question. "Wash
my 'ands!" exclaimed the man. Then
he became explanatory. "I never
washes my 'ands. When they gets
'aid I iles 'em."
PAID PENALTY FOR HASTE.
Messenger Boy's Speed Resulted In
Spectacular Tumble.
A district messenger boy emerged
from a big office building on Nassau
street and to the amazement of pass-
ersby, began to run. He had not gone
far when his foot caught in somo ob-
struction and ho fell. It was not the
ordinary fall. It was a picturesque,
acrobatic performance. Ho landed on
his stomach with hands and legs out-
stretched.
It had just stopped raining and the
asphalt was slippery. In addition,
there is quite a down grade at Cedar
street, where the sudden drop of mer-
cury took place. So when he struck
the roadway he kept on going tobog-
gan fashion, for a foot or two, his
hands and feet being used as brakes.
When tho headway finally was
checkcd, the messenger boy arose,
slowly and sadly. His once natty
blue uniform was a finished study
black from collar to the ends of his
trousers. There was some bark off
his hands and a gash in one knee of
his trousers seemed to open its dumb
mouth to protest against such treat-
ment.
"That's what I get fer runnfn'."
said the boy sadly, as he entered a
convenient hallway to cleanse himself
with a "latest edition" handed to him
by a sympathetic observer.
A Memorial Day Memory.
The sentry challenged at the open rate
Who passed him by, because the hour was
late: ,
"Halt! Who goes there? A friend.
"All's well."
•A friend, old mate." A friends fare-
well,
And I had passed the gate;
And then the long last notes were shed,
And Shrilly clarion's echoes dead;
Ami sounded sadly ns I stood without
Those last sad notes of all: "Lights out.
"Lights out.
Farewell, companions. We have side by
side _ , ,
Watched the hist'ry's lengthened shadows
past us glide,
And worn the blue, and laughed at pain,
And many a year has died.
And toll and hardship have we borne,
And followed where the llag has gone;
But all the echoes answering round about
Have bidden you to sleep: "Lights out."
"Lights out.
And never moro for mo tho bay'net's
ilash.
The trumpet's summits. Oh, tho crum-
bling ash
Of life is hope's fruition; fall
The withered friendships, and they all
Are sleeping. Day by day
The fabrics of our lives decay,
And change unseen, and melt away—
Ave, perisli Ilk. the accents of a call,
like martial warnings from Life's grim
redoubt; . , , , . .
Like those last notes of all: "Lights out.
"Lights out."

Cost of Railway Mail Service.
Americans pay more for transports
ti on of mail than all the other peoples
of the world combined, in the lust
year for which comparative figures
are available (1901) it cost us
5110,000 for railroad transportation of
mail alone. All the other countries
iu the world paid for transportation
by all means only $37,000,000, or ?1,-
500,000 less than we alono paid.
Freight and passenger rates have gone
down. They are cheaper hero than
abroad; express companies pay the
railroads about half the rates they
charge the government, and yet the
postotlico department continues to
pay for tho transportation of mail just
as much as it paid thirty years ago,
while all other transportation rates
have greatly decreased in that time

McClellan Hard to "Rattle.'
A citizen who is intimately ac-
quainted with George P. McClellan,
mayor of New York, declares that ho
has not a nerve in his being. "I have
seen him in some close quarters, but
have never seen him change color or
appear the least concerned," he adds.
"He may havo wounds to nurse and
nurses them, but if he does he goes
into a back room to do If. Just once
since he has been In office has ho
quailed at any proposed ordeal. The
health commissioner wanted him to
take a ride in a new model ambulance,
but the mayor declined, saying ho was
afraid. 'Put there is no danger." 'No
danger!' said the mayor. '1 guess you
don't know about tho jokemakers of
the American press? Excuse me.'"
