There are few young men who are awak­ ened to the evils of a bad habit in time to conquer aa did a certain young man who had thoughtlessly formed the habit of taking a glass of liquor every morning before breakfast. All older friend advise^ him to quit More the habit should grow too strong. "Oh, there's no danger. It's a mere notion. I can quit any time," replied tbedrinber. "Suppose yon try it to-morrow morn­ ing," suggested the friend. "Very well. To please you Fll do 80, but I assure you there's no cause tor alarm." A week later the young man met his friend again. "You are not looking well," observed the latter. "Have you been ill? " "Hardly," replied the other. "But I am trying to escape a dreadful danger, and I fear that it will be long before I have conquered. My eyes were opened to an eminent peril when I gave yon that promise a week ago. I thank yoa for your timely suggestion." "How did it affect you? " **The first trial utterly deprived ice of appetite for food. I could eat no break- ast and was nervous and trembling al day. I was alarmed when I realized how insidiously the habit had fastened on me and resolved to turn square about and never touch another drop. The squaring 08 haa pulled me down severely, but I am gaining, and I mean to keep the upper hand after this. Strong drink will never catch me in its net again." -1 A : IP YOU ARB IN NEED 8" Y*- % V ^ - " -,'W: - -i' Our new Spring stock is larger, more carefully selected, and oheapef bought than ever before, and we earnestly invite inspection and comparison p4 ^ jt * DRY GOODS & G90CEKfflS New Dim •'V'Cv> HATS AND CAPS, i f .-V 4^ • • • -v - Wt-Jv Boots, Shoes, Gloves, ens, mingS, A complete stock of dress linings!

GENTLEMEN For several years past I have been suffering with indigestion, constipation and very severe stomach troubles, So severe was my trouble that I felt my usefulness in the ministry was near to the close. I tried different reme­ dies without getting relief. Providen tiaily for me a friend placed in my hands a sample bottle of Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin. A trial told me that I had found just what I needed. After taking it two or three weeks I was a new man, and I cannot say too much for Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. If any one desires to cor­ respond with me I will take pleasure in giving them all the facts in regard to my experience. D. T. BLACK, 1005 State St., Peoria, 111.

Midnight came to McHenry Co., Feb, 18, 1893. unknown to horsemen ard breeders, but as a proof that the public was pleased with him I bred 78 mares, before Aug 10, and re­ fused 25 more, I started him but five times in public, first at Dundee over a new half mile track, and drove him an easy mile in 2;2fi, last eighth in 15 sec.
