The rooms were draped in mourning, even
to the pictures hanging upon the walls. On
o table in O corner stood o basket of eKotics,
the fragrance from which filed the place
with an almost sickening odor. Under the
portrait of the deceased man stood the bier

sat the widow, and by her side stood her
bright-eyed, wondering boy.
Maud Ovington felt sense of suffocation
while awaiting the end of the funeral ser

made her way toward the coffin, but her

Protect the System from Malaria.

1t is possible to do this even in regions of
country where masma is most rife and
where the periodic fevers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is very largely attributable to the
fact of its efficacy as remedy for chills and
fever, bilious remittents, and as a prevent
i've of the various forms of malarial disease
In those portions Of the West and South
where complaints of this nature prevail
and in the Tropics it is particularly es-
teemed for the protective influence which
it exerts and it has been very widely
adopted as a substitute for the dangerous
and comparatively ineffective alkaloid, sui
phate of quinne. Physicianshave not been
among the last to concede its merits, and
the emphatic professional Endorsements
which it has received have added to the
reputation it has obtained at home and
iabroad.

funding certificates are not sold to banks

A Singular Dream.
Fairfield (Mainel Chronicle. ]

Two young men, residents of Norridge-
wock, met one morning and one said:
"Charles, I dreamed last night that you
were Judge of the Supreme Court of
Maine, that was minister and that
you called on me to open your, court with
prayer" Just thirty years after this
Rev. DIR. Charles F. Allen, late President
of the State College, happened to step
into the Supreme Courtroom in Augusta.
Judge Charles Danforth beckoned to him
and asked him to open his Court with
prayer, and, behold, the dream of thirty
wears was verified. Rev. Dr. Allen is
now pastor of the Methodist Church at
Fairfield.

THE FOUR PER CENT. CERTIFICATES

The cause of the rush of eager crowds
to the Custom-house in this city to OBJ
tain four per cent. funding certificates is
perhaps better explained by the state of
the bond market in New York. Of the
1921 100000 taken by the First National
Bank and its associates but about
S40,O00000 remain unsold,' There are
probably more than that amount of ten
forty bonds on deposit at Washington at
this moment, as security for National
Bank circulation, that must be replaced
by other securities on or before July 18th.
There is, therefore, corner in four per
cent. bonds that the banks and other in
Btitutions will feel more and more sharply
as the time draws nearer, when they
must surrender their present securities,
since those, whose recent purchases OF
four ner cents have been for investment
will naturally decline to part with them
except at premium.
The four-and-a-half per cents are now
worth 1861 ex. interest. 1t is, therefore
not impossible, nor indeed improbable
that the four per cents will be worth l0'
before July next, since these are the onl.
class of Government securities that IL
yestors can rely upon holding longer tina

WHILE humanity absolutely confers a

SPIRIT OF THE GERMAN PAPERS.

The Republicans have the best show for
victory in the coming State election, but
they should not forget that defeat is not
an imrossibilitv. 1t would therefore be
foolish to let the puritanical element OF
the country districts dictate the nomina-
tions.
Ex-Governor Young considers Judge Taft
as the strongest candidate which the Re
publican State Convention could nom
mate.
A large majority of the delegates elected
yes erdav in Cincinnati and the country
precincts is in favor of Taft for Governor

The platform, which the Republicans will
put up tomorrow should be short and as
definite as possible.
The Republican Convention, which will
meet at Spnger Hall tomorrow morning,
should remember that it must not only put
mp a ticket and make move for simple
State election, but that it must take the
first and probably decisive steps for the
National battle tn be fought next year.
Yesterdays Abend Postl
A ticket with Mr. Foster fer Governor and
Mr. l.. SoaSongood for Lieutenant Governor
would, according to our views, be stronger
than any combination with Mr.. Taft, and
stronger in the State and just as strong in
Cincinnati and Hamilton County. We
hope the delegates from the German wards
will look to this and see that they remain
without instructions as to voting un0er
every circumstance for Taft.

SEPTEMBER.

The golden-rod is yellow;
The corn lie turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit arc bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling In the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges fiaunt their harvest,
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters In the brook.
From dewy lanes ut morning
The grapes Sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all futter
With yellow butterflies.
BE- all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With Summers best Of weather,
And Autumn's best Of cheer.
But none Of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air,
is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
IT'S thing which ] remember;
To name it thrills me yet.
One day of one September
never can forget.
