"I'm the Only Man on Your Side."

In one Of the Western States case was
tried and at its termination the Judge char
ged the jury and they retired for consulta
tion. Hours passed and no verdict
was brought in. The judges dinner ar
rived, and he became hungry and imp q.
tient. Upon inquiry he feared that ono
obstinate juryman was holding out against
eleven. That he could not stand, and he
ordered the twelve men to be brought before
him. He told them that in his charge 10
them he had so plainly stated the case and
the law thas the verdict ought 10 be
unanimous, and the man who permitted
his individual opinion to weigh against the
judgment of eleven men of wisdom was
unfit and unqualified ever again TO act in
the capacity Of juSyman. Al the end Of
this excited harsngue a little squeaiy
voice came from one Of the juYymen. He
said: Judge will your Honor allow me
TO say q word?" Permission being given,
he added: MAY II please your Honor, /
am the only man on your side."

A Fatal Habit.

Irresolution is fatal habit; it is moi
vicious in itself, but il leads to vice, creep
ing upon its victims with fatal velocity,
the penalty Of which many fine heart has
paid at the scaffold. The idler. the spend.
thrift, the epicurean and the drunkard are
among its victims. Perhaps in the latter
its effects appear in the most hideous form.
He knows that the goblet he is about to
drain is boison, yet he swollows il. He
knows-for the example of Thousands has
painted it in glaring colors-that it will
beaded all his faculties, take the strength
from his limbs and the happiness from his
heart, oppress him with disease and hur

he drinks II. How beautiful, on the con-
trary, is the power of resolution, enobls
ing the one who possesses it to pass through
perils and dangers, trials and temptations!
Avoid the contraction of the habit of ir-
resolution. Strive against it to the end.

Mrs. Elizabeth Filler, was born IN Lou

parted this life Feb. %. 1880, making her
age 81 years, 8 months and "a days.
The deceased was msrsisd to Mr.. Henry
Filler. December 23rd, 1916. In the spring
of 1877 they came TO Zanssvills, Ohio;
thence In the fall of the same year to
Somerset, which thencsforward became
their settled home.
In the year 1885 Mrs. Filler was berefs
Of her husband, leaving family Of mostly
helpless children to her for care and sup.
port. To this trust sbe diligently and faith
fully spplied herself, and witch the bless
ing of God succeeded we'll in guiding the
household. She was an affecionate, tender
mother, greatly sndsarsd to her children.
They were to her ss those of the devoted
Mother of historic fame, "Her Jewels."
II ia pleasant t. know that this wen lth of
affection was duly reciprocatsd by the
children. Excellent social qualities with
her business calling gave to her an extern

She relates that about the age of fourte en-
in her parental homo, under the ministrs

impressions she commenced q life of prayer

Of Mr.. 6womestedt and other Christian

After being in the services Of the Sanctuary
on the OCCASION named she obtained in her

Quid pro Ono.

Since the earliest ages, two problems
have engaged the attention of speculative
humanity: perpetual motion, and the ge.
ting of something for nothing. The first
remains, and is likely to remain, unsolved;
but II the evidence Of printers ink is to
be trusted. the solution of the second has
been arrived at by the publishers of Ehr-
ichs' Fashion Quarterly. "And how so?''
remarks the reader, incredulons, Marry,
thus

terly offer to send their magazine, free OF

only to pay his regular two dollars through
Ehrics' agency, to receive, not only Peter
sons for year, but a really valuable qnar
terly magazine of fashion az we'll.
How this is to be done, is explained at
length, in the premium list to Ehrichs'
Fashion Quarterly, an advance copy Of
which lies upon our table. Nor ia this
the only movie feature which this same
premium list contains. Other magazines
offer premiums for subscribers; but the
Fashion Quarterly not only does that, but
in addition, inaugurates the novel idea of
premiums without su ubscribers. But over
this astounding mystery we drop discreet
veil: and the reader who may wish TO
pierce it, is advised to send his name and
address to Enrich Brothers, Eighth Ave-
pue and Twenty fourth st.. New York,
whose prompt reply will doubtless resolve
his doubts into pleasing and printable GER

A Solid Rubber Boot,

The "95 per cent. Boots," advertised
elsewhere in our columns, are high priced
goods, but they meet want in the com
munity, for people are tired of wasting
money on cheap adulterations of Rubber
Boots. The "95" boots are virtually three
pairs of boots in one. All non wearing
material is excluded, all weak parts
strengthened, and various Improvements
added. IN every district there is large
number of sensible people, who are willing
to pay fair price for good article, and

this class. Call and examine these superi
