Lord Charles Beresford's Wager.

Lord Charles Beresford and his brother thoroughly earned their nickname of the 4 Mad Beresfords ' when l hey were boye, and It is not so verf many years ago thai the former showed that he was as enter prising as ever. Some one laid him a hundred to one in pounds that he would nob drive down Rotten Row ab a forbidden hour, and Lord Charles immediately closed with the offer. It was stipulated thab at an appointed hour his Lordship should, from the box seat of his vehicle, speak to the gentleman with whom the beb was made, and ab a few minutes to tha appointed hoar a little group of gentle* men were leaning on the rails, eagerly watching for any vehicle that mkfcfe attempt to trespass on the tan sacred to those indulging in equestrian exercise. Nothing appeared, however, and the loungers concluded thab some one bar ing informed the park officials ef the projected arrangement, they had taken precautions to prevent the wool! be law breaker from carrying out hh design, Jasb as they had arrived afi this conclusion {Week End bells the story), the driver of the water cart drew so close to the rails thab the majority of the impatient watchers received a thorough drenching. With one accord the injured parties burned upon the earless waterman, aud rcraonstrated with him in terms move forcible than polite, those who had backed Lord Charles being especially wrath with the clum&y aqua pure oonveyer* ' A hundred pounds, if you please/ said a voice from the water cart, when at length the flow of * language' ceased. To the astonishment of the bespattered friends. they recognised his Lordship's voice, ana on looking ap discovered that individual disguised as the driver. By judiciously bribing the man, Lord Charles had been allowed to don the usual waterman's clothes, and in this guise had won his beb.

THE following unsolicited Testimonial by a gentleman well known in Ashbnrton speaks for itself:— Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel It my duty to give yon this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood; I have been a great Bufferer for many yeats from ulcerated stomach, indigeplion, eto. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had ttioi almost every known one but yours, and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, yon look very ill' (and you may depend I was), He added,' Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, ana I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottlea I was a new man—thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. Yon can make what use yon like of this. —I remain yours, etc, J H Pauiing, Masterton May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros and Shearman Bros, Ashburton 9232 THE DAINTIEST LITTLE WHEEL THAT EVER WAS" " The Rambler."

A YOUNG LADY'S MFE SATED.



lAb Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain 1* | Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea* Remedy. Dr Chas. Ii Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Colombia, in a recent lebter states; * Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a sLudy for me, but I thought Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea* Remedy, and as a last resort prescribed it. Tha most wonderful result was effected* Within eight hours she was feeling much better; inside of three days she was upon her fees and ac the end of one week was entirely well.'
