The little Miami Railroad, in our own
State, also shows the productlveness Of this
kind Of stock. The following extract from
the Treasurer's Report, gives the result of the
business for 1917, by which it will he seen
that after paying expenses, interest on debt,
allowing S2O, ,479 05 for wear ard tear Of
machinery, &C., and rcservng n contingent
fund Of Sll 900, the company was able to
divide - per cent. for that year; and it
should be remarked too, that during that
year the company had TO pay for an unusual
amount Of repairs, and to contend with many
difficulties not lIkly to occur again;
The earnings Of tho transportation department,
for the year, are as follows

In other counties the increase of the
value of real estate, both in town and

eXtravagant estimate. Whit then would
be the increase in this county? Taking

The Harp of a Thousand
STRINGS.

God has created this beautiful frame, with
its hundreds of muscles and bones, its thou
sands of blood vessels aud nerves, its COM
pcated digestive apparatus, its nicely adapt
cd lungs, its active skin,-all these he lins
formed into systems and organs, each having
n separate duty to perform for the good of
the whole each doing its own peculiar work;
and yet not working without the cooperation
ofall the rest, and The whole under direction
ofthe brain and nervous system. All these,
varied and harmonious, constitute the NM
chincry of our life. And this, God has put
into our hands to direct, 10 supply its wants,
80 suit the elements ofnutrition and eXcre-
ton, food and air, bathing and exercise, pre-
csoly to the necessities and condition OF
each organ and, out of the whole, 10 pro-
duce the greatest amount ofhealth. This is
our responsibility. This is the " harp ofa
thousand strings" which we are to play upon
aud to bring forth the music of energy and
cheerflness. We are 10 play, each ono of
as, upon his own harp. Whether we are
deeply skilled in the use of the instrument
and its uses, or are totally ignorant of both,
still we must he players; and the music,
harsh or discordant, must he such as we in
dividunlly are ablo and willing to produce
Our vital machine has each its own director,
aud according to the skill and iaithfulness of
this direction will be the amount of vitality
given us. il is vain to say we arc not com
petent to sustain the responsibility for we
must sustain il or we must fall. No one can
bear the consequences in our stead.

The Arabian Horse.

a most moving Incident, illustrative of the
extraordinary strength as well as attachment
of the Arabian horse, is given by Laniartine
in his beautiful Travels in the East:
can Arab chief with his tribe had attack
-cd in the night, caravan of Dama's and
plundered it, when loaded with their spoil,
however, the robbers were overtaken on their
return by some horsemen of the Pacha of A
ere, who killed several, and bound the re-
mainder with cords

md laid bound hand and foot, wounded as
he was, at the entrance 10 their tent, as they
slept through the night. Kept awake by the
pan of his wounds, the Arab heard his hor-
. SEES neigh at little distance, and being de-
. sirous TO stroke, for the last time, the COM
A,lanon Of his life, he dragged HIMSELF bound
AS he was, to the horse, which was picketed
ut little distance Poor friend, said he, what
will you do among the Turks? You will be
shut mp under the roof ola khan, with the hor-
ses of a pacha or an aga; no longer will the
4womeneof the tent bring you barley, camel's
milk or Go,Hrd, in the hollow of their hand;
no longer will you gallop free as the wind of
y Egypt in desert; no longer will you cleave
with your bosom the waters of Jordon,which

of bounding away to tho desert, bent his head

The proprietor has such confidence in these
Pills, that he would say to all persons who
may purchase a box of them, that if, after TAX
ing one or two doses in accordance with direc-
tions, they should not be satisfied with them,
the money paid will be refunded, or the charge
for the same cancelled, by returning the box
in useable condition, with the remainder of
the Pills. Agents selling them are requested
to conform to this rule.
IF you your family have been in the habit
of using pills, try them, and you will find them
good, if not better in many respects, than
any you have ever used before. Do not say to
yourself, l should be glad to buy a box of
them, but there are so many kinds before the
public already, some recommended for one
thing, others for another, and the rest for eve
ry thing, that have no confidence in any of
them, believing them all to be made for specu-
latiye purposes. Without doubt, many pro-
pretory medicines are too highly recomme nd.
ed, and made merely for speculation. All this
may be; bpt these Pills will be found to answer
as IL general thing, the purposes for which they
are designed. 49,. 7..... ..... =
