When Greek Meets Greek.


A friend of the Drawer, at Day
ton, Ohio, sends us the following
reminiscence:
In conversation with one of our
venerable citizens the other day,
whose title to being pioneer none
in this region will dispute, he related
this incident in the life of the late C.
L. Vallandigham. "Val'' was, when
quite young man, a member of the
Ohio Legislature, and ambitious to
show off his accomplishments. One
day he concluded one of his speeches
with quite lengthy Latin quotation.
After he had taken his seat, port
ly looking member from Miami Sc
dately arose, arrested the attention of
the Speaker, and proceeded to de-
claim Wyandot Indian speech in
the original tongue. At it's conclu-
sion he solemnly took his seat. All
eyes were turned upon the member
in wonder and amazement until he
finished, then, catching glimpse of
"Val" frowning and showing his
teeth, roar of laughter fairly shook
the house. 1t is safe to say after
that "Val" wasted no more Latin quo
tations on that House.-EDIToR

Man.

The late Mrs. Gen. Ben. Butler
was the daughter of DIR. Hildreth, ot
Lowell, Mass, and when quite young
studied for the stage, made her debut
at the Park Theater in New York in
1887, and was a successful actress
until 1912, when she left the stage,
and soon after married Gen. Butler.
Mrs. Butler was very excellent and
worthy lady, devoted mother and
an affectionate wife, and among he1
most intimate acquaintances was
highly esteemed for her domestic
virtues. She was about fifty-five
years of age, and leaves three chill
dren to mourn her loss.

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.

Probably there isno comnkint that afl
flicts the human system, which 2 20 lit
tie understood at the present tine, as
some of the varied forms Of Kidney
Complaints.
There Is no disease which causes such
acute pain or more alarming in its re-
suits than when the kidneys fail to Sc
crete from the blood the uric acid, and
other poisonous substances, which the
blood accumulates in its circulation
through the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to
perform the functions devolving upon
them, the cumulations are taken up by
the absorbents, and the whole system
thrown into state of disease, causing
great pain and suffering, and very often
immediate death. Hence the impor-
tance of keeping the kidneys and blood
in healthy condition, through which
all the impurities of the body must pass.

How Mr.. Gunn Took Smiths
Life.
pl;r.Joi,b;o p,11at;n

Philadelphia Bulletin.l
The life insurance agent, Benjamin
P. Gum, the other day, heard that
old Mr.. Smith had no insurance upon
his life; SO Gum concluded to drop in
and see him. Smith had no acquain-
tance with Gum, and when the lat
ter entered the Office he introduced
himself by saying:
"Mr. Smith, / called to see if l
could take your life"
"Wh-wh-what d'you say?' ex-
claimed Smith, in some alarm.
81 say that I've come around to
take your life. My name is Gum.
AS soon as l heard you were unpro-
tected, that you had nothing on your
life, thought I would just run in
and settle the thing for you at once"
Then Smith got up and went to the
other side of the table, and said to
himself:
ats lunatic who has broken out
of the asylum. He'll kill me if hol-
loa or run. / must humor him."
Then Gum, fumbling in his pock-
ct after his mortality tables, followed
Smith around the room and said to
him:
"You can choose your own plan,
you know. It's immaterial to me.
Some like one way and some like an
other. It's a matter of taste. Which
do you prefer?"
"I'd rather not die at ALL" said
Smith, in despair.
"But you've got to die, of course"
said Gum, ''that's a thing there's no
choice about. All I can do is to
make death easy for you; to make
you feel happy as you go of. Now,
which plan will you take?"
Couldn't you postpone it until to-
morrow, SO as to give me time to
think%
"No; l prefer to take you on the
spot. / might as well do it now as
at any other time. You have wife
and children?"
Yes, and L think you ought to
have some consideration for them and
let me off,"
"Well, that's a curious kind of an
argument" said Gum. "When l
take you, your family will be perfect
ly protected, of course, and not 9th
erwise."
"But why do you want to murder
me? /"
Murder you! Murder you! Who
in the thunder's talking about muir
dering youy
"Why, didn't you say"
81 called to get you to take out
life insurance policy in our company,
and /"
'Oh, you did, did you2" said Smith,
suddenly becoming fierce. "Well, l
ain'ta going to do it, and l want you
to skip out of this office, or I'll brain
you with the poker. Come now,
skipw
Then Mr.. Gum withdrew without
selling policy, and Mr.. Smith is
| still uninsured.

old Philadelphia churches.

The first Methodist congregation
bv-the-way. in Philadelphia consist,
81 of three men and their wives ana
certain John Hood, who met IN a
sail.loft in Dock Street. The Wes-
Iavs sent over Fillmore, who preach
ad from the State-house steps, carry
ing his library and wardrobe IN MS
saddle-bags, and aided by Captain
Webb. a one-eyed British barrack-
master, whose stentorian tones sound
ed through the streets like trumpet
calling to battle. st. George s
Church was the first owned by TINS
sect. in Fourth Street, a dreary place,
Watson states, with no floor and a
leaky stove-pipe. The British, du-
rino Howe's occupancy, took 1t as a
cavalry school. John Hoods won
derful sweet voice in singing is SO
often noted in these old records that
we seem to catch an echo of its soft
music even now.
The first synagogue in the city,
built in 1747, was in small house
in Stirling Alley, between Cherry and
Race streets. The congregation were
descendants of those Jews banished
by Isabella and Ferdinand from
Spain.
The first Presbyterian church was
founded in 1898. The ''New Lights,
disciples of Whitefield, built house
at Third and Arch streets. Their
pastor during the Revolution was the
famous Gilbert Tenant, thought by
the common people to be saint OF
God. The story went that, being
overtaken by a thunderstorm, he
went into an inn, when the lightning
came down the chimney, melting his
silver knee-buckles, but leaving him
unharmed.
The first Baptist church originated
in a joke. A wild young fellow
named Keach arrived from London
in 1856. and passed himself as a min
lister. He was invited to preach, and
the house was filled to hear the Eng
ish divine. When in the midst OF
his sermon he was suddenly wrenched
with remorse, and with tears confess
ed his trick. He went at once to a
Baptist minister at Rhode Island,
was baptised, ordained, and returned
to Philadelphia to preach in all sin
cerity.
The first Roman Catholic Chapel
was builtin 1929, when Miss M'Gau
ley, an Irish lady, brought over 0
colony as tenants, and settled on the
road leading from Franklin to New
town. Penn complained that it was
a subject of offense against him in
England that he suffered the scandal
of the mass in his Province, but he
made no effort to stop it.
All these churches had increased
and were in fourishing condition
at the time of the Revolution. 1t
was an easy matter then, too, to dis
tinguish the members of each by
their dress, just as the customs of Ia
boring men and their wcalthier neigh
bors marked the difference of caste
so strongly as to delight the eye of an
artist, however offensive it may have
been to reformer.-REBECCA HARD

FL. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,: Dear Sir--I
have been badly afflicted with Kidney
Complaint for ten years; have suffered
great pain in my back, hips and side,
with great difficulty in passing urine.
which was often, and in very small
quantities, frequently accompanied with
blood and excrutiating pain.
l have faithfully tried most of the
popular remedies recommended for my
complaint; have been under the treat
ment of some of the most skillful ply
sicians in Boston, all of whom pro-
nOunced my case incurable. This was
my condition when | was advised by a
friend to try the VEGErINE, and | could
see the good effects from the first dose
took, and from thE moment | kept on
improving until | was entirely cured,
taking in all, 1 should think, about six

1t is indeed a valuable medicine and if

way, would give a dollar a dose, if L
could not get it without.

CHERRY PEcToRAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount Of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affec-
tons, which are easily met at first but which
become incurable, and too often fatal. if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and 1t
is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
