Simpson's Fortune. How many merchants In Delaware

county have accumulated iu a life­time a fortune of $50,000? A safe answer would be not one. And yet this large amount was pilled up by tli" late .lames Simpson of Deposit as a pack peddler. Hundreds in this Si Ctlon have seen Simpson with his black Batchel In one hand, his pack covered with brown oilcloth suspend­ed it I1I9 hack by a stick over his shoulder. No one knew that this 11 centrii peddler1 was piling up a big­ger fortune than many n business man who was at the head of a fine store.

Simpson paid no rent, employed no clerks, no bookkeeper, had no deliv­ery horse and wagon and Ills only "overhead" was the blue sky. When he made a sale it was for cash and what was above the cost of his goods was clear profit for his own pocket The secret of succ> sa in business is to keep expenses a proper distance from sales, oftentimes a difficult problem. Simpson solved it by having no ex-4>ens.

A second question is pertinent. What good did Simpson get out of life? He toiled and saved and oth­ers will now spend the money he ac­cumulated Perhaps the pleasure of watching his pile grow was all the pleasure lie wanted in life? The old idea of a miser was a white hair-er sinner seated at a table counting his gold. We have misers today but they pass as "investors." They are as eager to accumulate as the tra­ditional miser. Like Simpson they also pas< on and other people realize on their investments. The moral of it all, if there is any moral, is to get something out of life as you go along for yours.df. —Walton Reporter.

A Victim of Drug. Harry Parish of Oneonta, committed

suicide last Thursday afternoon about 2:00 o'clock, by shooting himself through the head with a rifle ,at the armory He died about 7:00 p. m„ at the hospital. He was a native of Oneonta, about 20 years of age, and was well-known in this section. He was the unfortunate victim of a drug habit, which he was unable to throw off. This fact preyed on his mind for many v, • , ks and in conversations with friends he had intimated that he might seek the end of his life by an act of his own.

His pathetic story is told in a note he left for his father, which was found in his clothing. It read:

"Dear Dad:—Try and think that this life isn't all. that your boy wouldn't have caused you this trouble, trouble, always dad. I know it, but try and forgive me if you can. God knows that I have wanted to get through life do­ing what little good I could. I have tried always to help when I could and I know there isn't r.nyone who can say that I was ever other than on the square. Whatever the future may bring, whatever may be beyond this life, it isn't the stern, unforgiving God. but an all kind, loving Father that I see. 1 thank you all for your goodness to me. and the fellows who have had a kind word and lent a hand to me. and am wishing for them now as al­ways, good luck and happiness.

"Don't know just how long I have to stay on this earth, but not long: a night, maybe a day. possibly before night com,es. Am going to stay as long as 1 can stand the suffering. When that time comes, it means good by for me to everything on this earth. Forgive me Dad. Harry."

The Veiled Beauty. Inquiry conies to us asking why the

name "The veiled Beauty" has been re­moved from the little Water Falls, deeply shaded by over-hanging foliage, situate about a mile west of the Dun-raven post otlice on the road leading to Andes and Delhi.

The name "Veiled Beauty" is so fit­ting to the Falls and the shading and surroundings, as to excite the admira­tion of tourists, travelers, visitors and beholders from far and wide, and call forth exclamations—"How charming," "How beautiful," "How lovely." "The people In these mountains must be great lovers of the beautiful."

One lady of a party of tourists from East Orange, New Jersey, on taking a snap-shot with her camera, said, "This picture will be nice to put up in our (Nub. We shall have the "Veiled Beauty with us."

We are informed that the falls is on the land of Ziba Sanford. a gentleman of refined tastes; it is not likely that

.. I he has sanctioned the removal of name.

DYSPEPSIA ON THE DECLINE.

Seaver's Dyspepsia Tablets Cure 49 Cases Out of Fifty.

Why anyone in Margaretville should continue to suffer with indigestion when a box of Seaver's Dyspepsia Tablets, will cure, is certainly a mys­tery. E. L, O'Connor has been selling Seaver's Dyspepsia Tablets for some time, and he knows from actual ex­perience right here in his own store just what Seaver's Famous Dyspepsia Tablets will do, and if you inquire of E. I. O'Connor's druggist he will tell you hi never knew a remedy to prove BO decidedly beneficial In the treat­ment of indigestion, dyspepsia, palpita­tion, sleeplessness and other forms of Stomach trouble.

It certainly ought to give you confi­dence when you know that every 50c. box of Seaver's Dyspepsia Tablets con­tains L'n days treatment, and at the end of that time if you are not decid­edly benefited all you need to do is to go back to the dealer and get your money. Seaver's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold right on their own merits. They cure indigestion simply by ton­ing up the stomach and digestive iri in-; so that the food will assimilate

and give strength to the system Just as nature intended. Seayer's Dys­pepsia Tablets are such a good nerve tonic, too. Just try a box and see if It don't give you new energy, new am­bition and new courage to carry out your plans and daily work. If it doesn't your money back.
