he does think funeral reform is a very serious
subject, and he believes the expenses atten-

You are 10th right. 1t is very natural for
us TO wish to see the iifeIess forms of those

believe that more than this is sinful robbery

The Career Of Andrew John.
son.

This statesman and patriot has passed away,
but his deeds will live after him. What
commentary is his fame on the advantages of
an American citizen? Unlettered and un-
aided, relying upon himself he advanced step
by step from the lowest station in life, 10 the
highest office in the gift of the American
people. All this was accomplished by IN
swerving integrity, dauntlees courage, and
persevering research. By the exercise of
these principles, it is in the power of any poor
and friendess boy to attain the same grand
result. The same success is attainable in the
commercial world as in the political. as is
proven in the case Of DR.. TUTT's STANDARD
PREPARATIONS. He, conscious of their value,
labored patiently and to-day no medicine has
taken so firm hold on the public estimation
as his Liver Pills They stand on the top
most round of the healing ladder Zee. At.
