Fifty Years Ago.
President Polk in the White House chair,
While in IyOwell was Doctor Ayer;
Both were busy for human weal
One to govern and one to heal.
And, as a president's power of will
Sometimes depends on a liver-pill,
Mr. Polk took Ayer's Pills I trow
For his liver, 50 years ago.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills
were designed to supply a
model purgative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines. Being
carefully prepared and their in-
gredients adjusted to the exact
necessities of the bowels and
liver, their popularity was in-
stantaneous. That this popu-
larity has been maintained is
well marked in the medal
awarded these pills at the
"World's Pair 1893.
50 Years of Cures.
Power of the Heart.
The human heart is practically
a force pump about six iqches in
length and four inches iu diame-
ter. It beats seventy times per
minute, 4,200 times per hour, 100,-
800 times per day and 36,792,000
times yer year, and 2,575,440,000
—say two thousand five hundred
and seventy-live millions four
hundred and forty thousand-
times in seventy years, which is
man's appointed three score years
and ten. At each of these beats
it forces 2 1-2 ounces of blood
through the system, 175 ouces
per minute, G5(i 1-4 pounds per
hour, or 7.03 tons per day. All
the blood in the body, winch is
about thirty pounds, passes
through the heart every three
minutes. This little organ pumps
every day what is equal to lifting
122 tons one foot high—that is, j
one ton to the top of a forty-j
yard mill chimney. During the
seventy years of a man's life this
marvelous little pump, without a
single moment's rest, day or
night, discharges the enormous
quantity of 178,850 tons of human 1
blood.—Philadelphia ltecord.

Fatal Train Wreck.
Denison, Tex., Aug. 13.—The
Katy had one of the worst
passenger wrecks this morning
she has had in this section for
years, and it is one of the greatest
wonders that there was no larger
loss of life.
Passenger train No. 34, via Dal-
las from Hillsboro to Denison,
was coming north just a mile
south of Caddo Mills, Hunt coun-
ty, when suddenly the engine and
coaches left the track, the latter
turning over.
Express messenger W. II. Raw-
lins was kill ed outright. The
engineer on engine 55, was
pulling the train, and when the
engine stopped out on the prairie
it was still erect, and the engineer
and his fireman uninjured.
The train at the time it left the
track was on time to the minute,
making the usual schedule time
and moving as peacefully along
as it ever did. Suddenly the rail
on the east side of the track
slipped and the entire train left
the track. Luckily it was on
almost level ground, and the
dump was not sufficient to turn
the train over on its side immedi-
ately, or the number of deaths
would have been limited only to
the number of the train crew and
passengers.
Reunion at ClarksviMe.
Clarksville, Tex., Aug. 13.—
The fifth annual reunion of John
C. Burks camp Confederate
Veterans closed last night with a
big ball at the pavilion. Large
crowds attended from this and
adjoining counties.
