The lion. John M. Rice, of Louisa.
J.aw rence County, Kentucky, has for
'the past two years retired from active
life as Criminal and Circuit Judge qf
the sixteenth Judicial district of
Kentucky.
lie has for many years served his
native county and state in the legisla-
ture al Frankfort and at Washington,
and, until his retirement was a noted
tigure in political and judicial circles.
The Judge is well known throughout
the Mate and possesses the best quali-
ties which go to make a Kentucky gen-
tleman honored wherever he is
known.
About s'\ years ago the bodiiy
troubles which finally caused his re-
tirement at a time when his mental
faculties were in the /cnith of their
strength, began their encroachments
upon his naturally str ig constitu-
tion. A feu days ago a Kentucky Post
reporter called upon Judge Rice, who
in the following words related the
history of the causes that led to his
retirement. "It is just about six
years since 1 had an attack of rheu-
matism, slight at first, but soon de-
veloping into Sciatic rheumatism,
which began tirst with acute shootiuff
pains in the hips, gradually extending
downward to my feet.
"My condition became so bad that 1
eventually lost all power of my legs,
and then the liver, kidneys una blad-
der and in fact, my whole system, be-
came deranged. I tried the treatment
of many physicians, but receiving 110
lasting benetit from them, I had re-
course to patent remedies, trying one
kind after another until I believed
there were none 1 had not sampled.
"In 1 $88, attended by my son John,
1 went to Hot Springs, Ark. 1 was
not much benefited by sonic months
stay there when I returned home. My
liver was actually dead, and a dull,
persistent pain in its region kept me
011 the rack all the time. In 1800 1
was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it
was impossible for me to give atten-
tion to my duties. In , 1 went to
the Silurian Springs, Wukeshaw, Wis.
1 stayed there some time, but without
improvement.
"Again I returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. Tho
muscles of my limbs were now reduc-
ed by atrophy to mere strings. Sciat-
ic pains tortured me terribly, but it
was the disordered condition of mv
liverthatwas 1 felt gradually wearing
my life away. Doctors gave me up, all
kinds of remedies had been tried with-
out avail, and there was nothing more
for me to do but to resign myself to
fate.
"I lingered on 111 this condition sus-
tained almost entirely by stimulants
until April, 18M. One day Johnsaw an
account of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People in the Kentucky Post.
This was something new, and as one
more drug after so many others could
not do so much harm. John prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pills. It was,I
think, in the first week in May the
pills arrived. 1 remember 1 wis not
expected to live for more than three
or four days at the time. The effect
of the Pills, however, was marvelous
and I could soon eat heartily, a thing
1 had not done for years. The liver
began almost instantaneously to per-
forms its functions, and has done .->0
ever since. Without doubt the pilis
saved my life and while 1 do not crave
notoriety 1 cannot refuse to testify to
their worth."
The reporter called upon Mr. Hughes
the Louisa druggist, who informed
him that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, have
been very popular, since Judge Iticc
used them with such benefit. He men-
tioned several who have found relief
in their use.
Ad analysis of Dr. Williams" Pip':
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain, in a condensed form, all the
elements necessary to give new lileand
richness to the blood and restore shat-
tered nerves. They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects of
la grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow complexions, all forms
of weakness either in male or female,
and all diseases resulting from vitiat-
ed humors ill the blood. Dr. Williams

CURIOUS PLANT PROPAGATION 1
How llraiirlie* «r« l(« inote<| I rum tlie
l*ar«*nt Stem.
Some very curious processes for prop-
agation aro practiced at the public gar-
dens. One consists in cutting with a
knife around a branch or a plant. One
might imagine, says tho Washington
Star, that the intention was to kill
tho branch, but such is by no means
the object in view. The cut having
been made, a piece «>f wet moss is
wrapped and tied around the branch
nl the point. Ileneath this protection
the sap exudes from the wound, and
little rootlets are developed. After a
few days the brunch is cut awav from
the parent stem, being then itself a
complete plant, with roots already to
put in a pot.
This plan is adopted with plantsofj
klow growth, because one plant may \
thus be split up into a half a dozen or
more of good size, instead of waiting
for a seedling or little slip to develop.
A mod'ficution of the same t rocess
consists in placing a small pot full of
• artli around the cut place on the
braiirh, fastening it in position. When
roots have developed tlie branch is cut
oil'just below the pot and a new plant
is produced. If the gardener chooses
to l.ak" the trouble he can make a sep-
arate plant out of every bud on a tree.
In fact, au eminent botanist has said
t hat every tree is a village, each bud
be ng an individual.

An Important Feature.

observing four-year-old daughter. She
has a brother a few years older of
whom she is very fond, and who. for
her amusement, sometimes draws pic-
tures on slate or paper. A few eve-
nings ago he was thus engaged, and
essayed to draw an elephant. Ho
shaped the body, head and legs, and
before adding the proboscis stopped a
moment to look at it. The little girl
was watching every stroke of the pen
'il with great interest, waiting pa-
tiently for him to finish, and when he
stopped, and she thought lie was done
exclaimed: "Why. Johnny, you fordo!

Some twenty years ago a Klamatu
Uiver Indian had a difficulty with
three other Indians, during which he
was killed, and at the same time killed
one of the other Indians. Several
years later one of the surviving Indi-
ans died. The Indian hilled by the
other three in the trouble had a boy
about one year old at the time. The
boy, being now about twenty-one
years old and knowing from his moth-
er the circumstances of his father's
death, watched a good opportunity to
kill the other surviving murderer of
his father. He pretended at all times
to be very friendly with the surviving
Indian of the difficulty, but a few
tlays ago while smiling pleasantly be-
fore his victim, suddenly pulled a
sharp knife from beneath his coat and
slashed him across the body, from the
effects of which wound the murderer
of his father died in a very short time,
and the young assassin skipped to
parts unknown.
