Cherry Pectoral. Even in the later
periods of that disease, the cough is
wonderfully relieved by this medicine.
"I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
with the best effect in my practice.
This wonderful preparation mice saved
my life. I had a constant cough, night
sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh,
and given up by my physician. One
bottle and a half of the Pectoral cured
me."—A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middleton,
Tennessee.
" Several years ago I was severely ill.
The doctors said I was in consumption,
and that they could do nothing for me,
but advised me, as a last resort, to try
Ayer'e Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine two or three months I
was cured, and my health remains good
to the present day."—James Birehard,
Darien, Conn. •
"Se}reras years ago, on a passage home
from California, Water, X contracted
'so severe a cold that for some days I
was confined to my state -room, and a
physician on board considered my life
in danger. Happening to have a bottle
of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I used it
freely, and my lungs were soon restored
to a healthy condition. Since then I
have invariably recommended this prep-
aration."—J. B. Chandler, Junction, Va.

RECIPI1OCIITY
If a duty is levied on the free -
trade platy that is, on articles which
we cannot produce in this country,
then the duty would always come
out of the consuniers. If we should
levy a duty on tea, for instance, such
a duty would have to be added to
the uvet of tea, awl rhe money
would be collected mostly out of the
laboring classes, who Consume most
0g the tea. America cannot pro,
duce tea, and we cannot lit Ing about
a competition therefore in this mar
kat between home and foreign tee,
or driye down the price, melee com-
pel the foreign producer to pay the
duty in oilier to get into our mar-
kets. There is no tea raised in this
country, with which the foreign tea
must compete; and hence the im-
porter must add the amount of the
duty to the price, and collect the
same from our consumers. Not so,
however, with an article a hich we
can produce in great quantities in
this country. Take coniwou salt,
an article of prime necessity, used
even more universally than tea.
The price of salt has been constant-
ly cheapened aiuce Canada began to
produce it under tariff laws. Salt
is now at the very lowest possible
point in price consistent with fair
wages to the men who make salt.
Tire great bulk of the salt consumed
in this country has for years past
been made here; and any foreign
saltniaker who gets into our markets
should he able to do so only on con-
dition that he pay a similar duty to
that charged on our salt going into
his country, The United States
tax Canadian salt nearly double our
present tariff. Let us have recis
procity in tariffs. Whatever the
American tariff is on salt or other
commodities let ours be the same.

YANKEE MORTGAGES.

they are pledged to• creditors, In
Pennsylvania the same conditions
exist, and in Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Kentucky, Tennessee—every
state in the union. In addition to
these individual incumbrances rail-
roads and municipalities aro nearly
all in debt.. There are but few, if
any railroads in the country that
would sell for enough to pay their
debts ; some of them owe many
times as much as they are worth.
Kansas railroads, for example, are
indebted for bonds and stock eight
tit -etre as much as their assessed
valuation amounts to. And this is
not all. A vast amount of personal
property is pledged under chattel
mortgages. It is not extravagant
to state that at least two million
American families at this time have
more or less personal property
mortgaged.—C/iicego Herald.
REALISTIC HANGING SCENE
A STAGE VILLiAN NARROWLY ESCAPES
THE FATE TIE SIMULATES.
At the St. Louis, Mo,, London
Theatre, a second-class variety show,
Horace Cone was last week playing
a drama entitled "Jack the Ripper,"
the culminating scene of which is
the execution of Jack. Last night
Jack (Horace Cone) was hanged in
fine style, and an immense audi
once enjoyed his dance in the air.
But with the . dropping of the
curtain the enactment of another
scene began. Mr. Cone had been
"cut down" and the black cap re•
moved but the map ]vele insensible
and his face was changed in color.
His wife, standing by. gave a shriek
and fainted away, and for a few
minutes the greatest excitement and
confusion 'prevailed, Physfeiaus

half fan
hour before the titan regained con-
ecioueuess. He was then taken to
hie hotel and put to bed. This
evening he said : "I believe I am
all right now, except that my throat
is still sore from the shaking. It
was all my fault. I neglected to
fasten one portion of my harness
tight enough, and the result was
that my throat or chin had to bear
all the weight, It was a narrow
escape. I've fixed the harness
since in such a way treat such an
accident will be an utter impossi-
bility in future.'
Mr. Cone said that this was the
first salivas accitjeny he 1a dad lb

since his fall at Dallas, Tex., when
his head struck a beam as he fell,
breaking his left jaw hone and
knocking out several of his teeth.
A TELEPHONIC ROMANCE.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—W. W.
Wheeler did not ring off when he
was through with his telephone a
week ago Monday. The patient
young woman in the main office on
Washington street called "Hel-
lo, fiveoughtninefour ! Are you
through I" until she was tired.
Then she broke the connection of
5,094 with a North Side wire. She
might have asked all day and rung
all night without a response, for W.
W. Wheeler had gone out of his of-
fice at a bound, leaving the receiver
dangling alongside the box and was
even then lashing his his galloping
horse down Clinton street. A
strange thing had come to pass. The
telephone, having broken up fami-
lies and made enemies of friends
and turned father against son, had
finally repented the evil of its ways
and brought together a brother and
sister lost to each other for five and
twenty years.
That long ago the Wheelers lived
in Canada, a happy and contented
family. There were the father and
mother and two children, William
and Helen. Mrs. Wheeler died,
anti her husbanc, after a time, mar-
ried a second wife. The marriage,
like too many of its kind, did not
result happily. The second Mrs.
Wheeler and the children wore not
congenial, and so it came about that,
25 years ago this fall, the boy, Wil-
liam W. Wheeler, left his home and
struck out for himself. His family
made enquiries for him, but these
came to nothing, and gradually the
search was given up and the boy
drifted out of the remembrance of
all his relatives but one. Isis sister,
Helen, never forget him and never
ceased to love him. Five years later
it seemed best for her also to look
out for herself and to leave the home
of her childhood. Thie she did,and
for a time lived with friends in
Canada. As the years went by she
was•more and more attracted to the
United States, and finally came here
to live. Six years ago she reached
Chicago and became a contented in-
mate of the home of William D.
Kerfoot, the wealthy real estate man
and world's fair director.
THECGOOD FAIRY OF THE TELE•
PHONE.
At that time she had not heard
from her brother for nineteen years,
but, womanlike, she never forgot
him. The yore came and went,
but she kept his memory green and
waited patiently but not despairing-
ly for the day to arrive when they
should meet. One week ago last
Sunday afternoon Miss Wheeler was
idling away the time at Mr. Ker••
foot's home, and, entirely by chance
as it seemed, her hand rested upon
the telephone book which lay upon
a table by her side. Was it chance'1
Did her hand fall by pure accident
upon the volume'1 Miss Wheeler
cannot think so. She opened the
book and carelessly looked over the
list of names. After a time curious-
ity prompted her to look at. the tele-
phone subscribers who bore her own
name. She listlessly turned the
pages until she came to the Wheel-
ers, and her attention was riveted
upon the following liines :
5,094—W1 -tenet, W. 1V., rock,
asphalt and cement paver, 11-13
South Clinton street.
It was her brother's name ! She
started at the sight of the familiar
initials, and then laughed at her
own foolishness. Meetings like
'this were not possible outside of
novels. But the name brought mem-
ories, and she sat with the open tele-
phone hook in her lap and thought
of the old home in Canada and their
childhood days. .W. IV. Wheeler,
telephone, 5,094 ! "I will call that
men tip to -morrow," she said. She
was up early Monday morning and
moving impatiently about the house,
When she thought it was time for a
business man to be in his office, she
rang and called up 5,094.
"Hello !"
"Hello !O
"Is this Mr. 'Wheeler I"
"Yes."
"Did you over live in Canada I"
"Yes. A good many years ago."
"What was your father's name I"

"I am Helen,"
THE MEETING OF BROTHER AND
SISTER,
Mr. Wheeler flung down the re-
ceiver after learning her address,
and jumped for his hat. Running
to his buggy, which aloud just unt-
side the dour, he leaped into tt and
lashed the horse into a gallop. Peo-
ple who saw him thought he was
crazy. Ile stood upright, flogging,
the animal with mad blows. In
just twenty minutes after he had
been rung up un the telephone he
was at Mr. Kerfoot's door, and hia
sister Helen was in his arms. Ho
could hardly wait for satisfactory ar-
rangements to be made. Twenty-
five years is a long time, and brother
and sister had lunch to say to each
ether. Brit in a few hours he took
her hpme with him to live, and the
grief of the past separation was for•
gotten in the joy of the present•
meeting. 1St iss Wheeler has lived
here six years and her brother sevens,
but neither Las ever suspected the
presence of the other. After $r5
years the much -abused telephone
brought them together. The instru-
ment has its uses.

FROM A FARM TO A
PEERAGE.
TIIE GOOD FORTUNE OF A NORTH DA-
KOTA FARMER.
From a small farm on the North
Dakota proiries to a fine old Eng-
lish estate and a seat in the house of
lords is a long step, but James S.
Sinclair, Nelson county, Dakota, has
made the stride. The Sinclair&
were distantly related to George
'Phillipe Alexander, Earl of Caith-
nees, but AO slight was the tie of
kinship that no one in the
family expected to profit by it.
James Sinclair emigrated, and pur-
chased a tract of land four miles
from Dakota. Ile called the place
I3erriedale, an old family name, and:
the title bestowed by courtesy upon
the oldest son of the Earl of Caith-
ness. By a strange fatality all the
people between Sinclair and the
title died. Sinclair's friends and
the family solicitor apparently had
an exceedingly contracted idea o�
the area of the Northwest, as tette
sent to him were simply addressed
to "James Sinclair, Berriedale farm,
near Dakota." One after another
the communications found their way
to the dead letter office at Washing-
ton, and five months were spent by
the department officials in discover-
ing the right address of the man
for whom the letters were intended.
Tracers were sent out to every city
r'nd village in Minnesota, Nebraska
and Dakota, and finally the heir was.
located.
