IA NOBLE FIGHT. AN L KENT SOliTHERN LA & f- •" iW Tears of Prostwrlty, A*r and SufTerinc--The Great '* K Victory Won by Science Over / a Stubborn Disease. (From the Atlanta, Ga., Constitution.) Foremost among the best known lawyers •tad farmers of North Carolina stands Col. Isaac A. Sug.tr, of Greenville. Mr. Sugg has uesidcd in Greenville 22 years. While •early everyone in Pitt Co. knows Mr. S*8 history, jierhaps all do not know of his re­ turn to business again after ah illness of 16 Jears. No man has gone through more than e. aid lived. It was a case of the entire freaking down of the nervous system, at­ tended by excruciating, agonizing, unendur­ able pain. Opiates and stimulants only Siieted temporarily, and all treatments iled him. Only his love of family and friends prevented suicide. He told a re­ porter the following interesting story: "I kept at my work as long as I oonld. i ®uJ'na^iro gave way at last and I succumbed to the inevitable. My entire nervous svs- tem had been shattered by the stimulants •nd opiates I had taken, my blood had actu­ ally turned to water, my weight had drop­ ped from 173 pounds to 123, and it seemed w fverybody that the end was in sight. Why could not bear the gentle hand of my wife fp bathe my limbs with tepid water. I was •imply living from hour to hour. S had •aaae my will, settled mv business and >®#aited for the last strand of life to snap. "It was at this time that a somewhat siml- x case as my own was brought to my otice. This man had suffered very much •si had, his life had been despaired of as nine had, and yet he had been cured. Think what that little word meant to me-- CURED. The report stated that the work bad been accomplished bv a medicine known as Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills for Pale People. I investigated the report thorough- Then Pink . began TO get, better. I began to sleep like a health- T ir >rongl and found that it was true in detail. Then 1 procured some of Dr. Williams' Pink ^ifls and began taking them and TO get better. I began to sleep like a L lul child, sound, calm, and peaceful. My appetite came back, and my nerves were soothed and restored to their normal condi­ tion and I felt like a new man. But the greatest blessing was the mental improve­ ment. I began to read and digest, to formu- l&ts new plans, to take interest in my iaw practice, which began to come back to me f! soon as my clients realized that I was ?ain myself. After a lapse of ten years I de horseback every dav without fatigue. "That Dr. Williams1 /'ink Fills saved nay life is beyond doubt, and I am spreading their praise far and wide." Inquiry about the town of Greenville sub- , ftantiated the above facts of Col. Sugg's case, f id that many others are being benefited by r. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec­ tady. N. Y., for 50c. per box, or six boxes for&fiO. Exploded Idea. „ It was formerly supposed that people pale complexion, especially if the ihair was a pronounced blonde, fine and thin, were specially liable to mental excitement and brain disorder. Statis­ tics which have recently been compiled prove this to be another of the grave errors of the old-time "specialist." At the Kirkbridge (England) asylum out <*f a total of 265 patients only one has ted hair, and only three either light or fair complexion. In New York, Lon­ don and Paris hospitals for the insane the same proportion holds good. Ex­ actly why darb-haired - persons are ttore liable to mental disease than those «f other shades of color has not yet fteen explaned. All great things are done little by lit­ tle. Atoms make worlds. The greatest fortunes consist in farthings. Life is made up of moments. Thankful Mothers etter^o Mrs. JPinkham, iast y^ywter I did not think my little \ ones would have a mother long.

THE S0J1EBSET COAST. There is a small out-of-the-way sea­ port town on the north coast of Somer­ set named Minehead. In the reign of Queen Bess it was a flourishing place, and contributed many a good sailor for the navy or bold pirate for a dash on the Spanish main. But now energy and enterprise have given place to lethargy and turpitude, and nothing remains to attract attention but its seclusion and exquisite beauty of scenery. The lit­ tle port with its jetty running out a short distance, foEnring a diminutive harbor, nestles at the foot of a furze- covered hill. Old-fashioned gabled houses climb up its side, and line at long intervals the zigzag pathways which the inhabitants designate streets. This cape is crowned by an old gothic church, and is a prominent land­ mark for vessels running out to sea down the Bristol Channel. The view from the churchyard is highly pict­ uresque, and of a fine summer eve to watch the setting sun dipping into the red waters and the golden tinge edging the irregular line of the Quantock hills is a sight that compensates for the many deficiencies of the place. Pass­ ing through the straggling byways of the mountain a curve brings you to a gorge, immediately above which is a very neat white villa. On the opposite side of the gorge stands a straggling cluster of buildings, the stables the most conspicuous portion. The resi­ dence is only a hunting box, frequented during the season by a wealthy noble­ man. The villa we have alluded to was ten­ anted by a retired physician, Dr. Ever­ ett, who, with his wife and two daugh­ ters, found the quietude and health- fulness of the place soothing after a life of incessant labor. At the time of which I write the worthy doctor was ensconced in a leathern easy chair In a comfortably furnished room, well lit, aiiu a small wood fire glowing on the capacious hearth, for it was October and the evenings were chilly. The tea things stood on the center table. The doctor was a well-preserved man of 65. He was devoted to his family and his two daughters were the pride of his life. "Bless me!" he exclaimed, "those girls are out very late." And he walked over to the bay window and looked across the channel, where a glorious moon had laid a pathway of silver across it Voices struck his ear. Mer­ ry laughter, which he recognized as that of his daughters, intermingled with the ruder guffaws of gentlemen. Then came "Good-night, Miss Amy; good-night, Miss Emily," from two or three different voices. "My compli­ ments to the doctor, and I shall call the very first leisure moment Don't forget the pony ride." The doctor was perfectly amazed. He could see the girls running along the garden paths, and so he closed the window and quietly resumed his seat. Presently in bounded the girls, their eyes brilliant with fun, all aglow with the run. The doctor looked up with a serious face. "Oh, papa, dear!" burst out Amy, who was the eldest a fine, rosy-cheeked girl of 18, "we have had such an ad- venture. Would you believe it Em and I went up to the churchyard to see the sunset and it was splendid; so we commenced to sing Just as the eua went m- y*j/t ., down In tlie waters. Well, ifrhfi|i! had finished--- "W«V my 'dear, this seems a loi I want my tea^" give pa his tea. What are1 yon looking so serious about? I la sure It was great fun." "Well, just as we finished there was a great clapping of hands and cries of 'bravo,' 'encore.' I sprang around, and there stood, not three yards from us, my Lord Cardiff, who lives across the gorge, and two other gentlemen. I could have sunk into the earth. But he came forward so gentlemanly and said: 'You must pardon our intrusion, but your singing attracted us from a tomb­ stone over there, and it was very sweet. If I am not mistaken, I am addressing Miss Everett. I am Lord Cardiff, your near neighbor. Will you introduce your sister? I did so. Then bis friends came forward, and he mentioned 'Sir William Cooke of the Hussars, and Capt Ablnger of the Guards.' Sof kfter some casual remarks about the hunt they had to-day, we all sat down. And then we all came toward home, the gentlemen all life and jollity, and tell­ ing all manner of laughable stories. They saw us to the gate, papa, Lord Cardiff told me to tell you he was going to call on you, and so is Sir William, who is perfectly frightful--red hair and a freckeled face and his limbs strung as though upon wire. Em, dear, give me some tea; I am quite ex­ hausted. Papa, Capt Ablnger is the handsomest man I ever saw in my life, and so refined." This was from the lips of a beautiful girl of 145, whose hazel eyes lit up en­ thusiastically as she spoke. "Well, girls, this is all very pleas­ ant; but what will mamma say when she gets back to-morrow and hears her children have been rambling o'nights with a lot of stag-hunting fellows, as wild as the beasts they pursue, at the risk of their necks?" "Oh. but papa, they are gentlemen, and when they have called mamma would not object to our having a little pleasure." "And they want us to ride the ponies and go for an excursion to the Valley of the Rocks. It wojjJd fce charming," joins in Emily. \ "I have no doubt of it;" and the old Doctor grins a peculiar grin, which the girls don't interpret favorably for the Valley of the Rocks. "By the by, Amy, when did you hear from Bobby Bell ? I thought he was to have been down to see you?" "Not very recently, papa." Something jarred on Amy's feelings, as though Bobby Bell's name was out of tune. And yet Bobby and Amy w^ engaged. A Week passed by without any inti­ mation from their aristocratic neigh­ bors across the gorge that they intend­ ed to fulfill their promise. Bobby Bell, who was a promising young barrister of the Temple, in London, had stolen down to spend a few days in the com­ pany of his fiancee, when one bright morning Mrs. Everett sitting in the window sewing, suddenly exclaimed: "Why, gracious, who can this be?" Emily looked down the garden and, turning to her sister, said: "Amy, it's Lord Cardiff and his friends." The greatest excitement prevailed. Smoothing down dresses, arranging truant tresses, while„the color mounted vividly into the girls' cheeks. "What do those duffers want over here, Amy?" says Bobby Bell, not half relishing the idea of such swells flutter­ ing around his intended. "I was not aware you knew them, girls," demurely remarked Mrs. Ever­ ett "Where did you become acquaint­ ed?" But it was no time for explanation. Lucy, the only servant in bewildered accents, announced: "Lord Cardiff, mum." His lordship, with his cordial saluta­ tion, cheery voice, and easy manner, bowed and shook hands with Mrs. Everett and the Doctor, greeting the girls and bowing politely as "Mr. Rob­ ert Bell, of the Temple," was intro­ duced by Amy. There was a slight twinkle in his eye as he caught Amy's, which made her face crimson. His lordship, she was sure, had caught the secret. " Sir William Cooke ensconced himself alongside the elder sister on the sofa. Capt Ablnger, squatted on a low otto­ man, held a skein of silk for Emily to wind and talked nonsense while he gazed up into her eyes and admired the graceful girl before him. His lord­ ship kept up a vivacious strain of con­ versation, descriptive of his present life and Illustrative of the jokes they had on Cooke, who smiled at his sallies. How Amy disliked him! He was such a twaddler, and that red hair and be­ spattered face. Poor Bobby Bell was left out in the cold, but sat looking at Sir William and listening with feelings that can better be imagined than de­ scribed. The call was over. The gentlemen rose to depart His lordship's persua­ sive tongue and insinuating manners had gained Mrs. Everett's consent that the girls might attend the excursion to the Valley of Rocks. "And BOW, youiig lauie&fif your own cattle are not up to the distance, I have some capital ponies which will gallop the whole distance without a draw." "Oh, our ponies are quite up to the mark, my lord, with many thanks.** Amy glanced toward Bobby. "You will do us the favor to Join us, sir ?" said my lord. Bobby bowed his acknowledgements rather curtly. The day after to-morrow, then. I will send a hamper of refreshments on to meet us." And the gentlemen, bowing their adieus;9 withdrew. "What an insufferable bore that Sir William Cooke Is!" exclaimed Amy. "And see, his lordship is teasing him. What can they be laughing so about? Bobby, what's the matter? Come and sit here." But Bobby was annoyed and jealous, and left the room Indignant Amy looked after him, and made up her mind to punish him for such an exhibi­ tion of jealousy. It was a glorious fall morning, the air brisk and bracing, as the party galloped through green lanes In the sequestered valleys, struggled up the steep moun­ tain sides, cresting the summits of rude rock and sliding down on their sure­ footed ponies the opposite declivities. They reached the valley at last and separated to wander around, Lord Car­ diff monopolizing Amy, Capt Ablnger, Emily, and poor Bobby was left to the Insufferable boredom of the hussar Fhjr"*<fon't yon accompany know I have to be polite to ardiff. Don't tw so foolish, darl­ ing." "Don't darling me. You are dazzled by a title Into forgetfulness of every propriety." "Robert, that to me!" she exclaimed Indignantly, and left him. ^ Bobby would have given worlds to re­ call his words, but it was too late. He joined the circle at luncheon with a sullen air. 1 The joke and the jest passed round, and the Iced wine with pigeon pie were thoroughly appreciated after the long ride. Amy devoted her attention gen­ erally, but Emily and Capt Ablnger talked in an undertone, and came in for some of Cardiff's sarcastic puns. Bobby was the only one who failed to enjoy himself. They reached home in good time, greatly elated with the day's pleasure. "I have come to solicit the pleasure of your company, ladles," says Sir Will- lam Cooke one morning, as he jauntily entered the drawing-room, where Amy and Emily and Bobby were sitting. "I have hired a yacht and I am sure you will accord me your delightful society. Really, now, won't you? Cardiff and Ablnger have gone after black cock. I preferred a sail. Won't you come, eh?" They pleaded all manner of excuses, but he would take noK denial, so they went for their hats and shawls. "Will you accompany us, sir?" he said to Bell. / "Thank you--no. bo you go alone?" i#Yes." Jy "Do yju know /how to manage a boat?" "Certainly. It is only a small sloop." Bobby did not half like it and Inti­ mated to Amy, but as there was still a coolness between them, she made no re­ ply. It was rougher outside than Cooke had any idea of, and he soon found that small as the boat was he could not han­ dle her. Amy saw this, and, Emily getting nervous, he steered shorewise. They were not twenty yards from shore when, in going about a flaw of wind caught the sloop and she capsized in a moment. Cooke struck for land with­ out heeding his companions. Emily could swim, and borne on a wave was pitched violently ashore. Poor Amy, less fortunate, was caught by the re­ ceding billow and carried farther out to sea. Cooke stood watching the struggling girl. "Amy! Oh, my sister! Sir William, swim out to her; she will drown!" screamed Emily. "I can't; there is no rope. Where Is there a rope?" "Here! here! See, It is hanging on the boat Go quick!" He ventured a few feet into the tide, but a wave knocked him over and he crawled back. "It Is impossible to face such a sea. I could not reach her." "Then I can!" exclaimed Emily, and she rushed toward the. waves, when a loud cry from above arfested her. Com­ ing down the mountain side with the rush of an avalanche, jumping from rock to stone, reckless of any obstacle, was Bobby Bell, yelling to Cooke to go to the drowning girl's assistance. He leaped some twenty feet from the crags above on to the shore, whipped off his coat and boots, and In another Instant was buffeting the waters with the en­ ergy and desperation of despair. He had been standing on the" mountain, watching the performances of Sir Will- lam with his sloop, and bitterly regret­ ting he had not gone. When the catas­ trophe occurred he saw the display of cowardice, and with rage in his soul rushed to the rescue. Amy had managed to fldat on the waves, but before Bell could reach her she had sunk, and poor Emily, as she saw her sister disappear, had fainted. But as she came again to the surface a strong arm was passed under her and, as the tide rolled in, a huge wave bore tliem speedily ashore. It was many hours ere Amy was suf­ ficiently recovered to send for Bobby to her bedside. That interview they both remembered to their dying day. The next morning Sir William took leave of Lord Cardiff, who, having heard the story, parted with him with a half-concealed expression of disgust, Amy and Bobby were married, short­ ly after; and it is rumored that Capt Abinger, who has retired from the guards, Is engaged to Einily.--New York News.

An old newspaper worker has sat down and figured It out. He figures that he writes an averag< of a column and a half every day, ex­ cept for his Sunday paper, when he con­ tributes three columns. This makes 12 columns a week, aiid allowing for two weeks' vacation, he has 50 weeks in the year, in which time he turns out 840,000 words. An ordinary book of short stor­ ies contains about 40,000 words, there­ fore his year's labor is equivalent to 20 books. At this rate of comparison the feat of Marlon Crawford In publishing two books per annum does not strike the newspaper man as an incredibly hard task, eveta allowing for the extra amount of thought6 involved in story writing.
