why John Wesley Bookwalter is the
work;ngman's friend. We kindly give
them the reasons:
He is to-day workingman. He has
been all his life. From a farmers son
IN Indiana, to the day he was the boy
ish maker of the largest telescope in
America, to the day he run his fathers
saw mill, to the day, by his own inven
tive genius, he provided his father with
a fourishing grist-mill, to the day he
discovered the transmission of power
to a distance by rope, to the day he
began to build up the business and to
improve the turbine water wheel of
Leffel & Co., he was a workirgman.
Ever since he has been a workingman.
He has helped build up the indus
trial interests of the country by invent.
ing and perfecting valuable manufact-
ures, and giving employment to thous-
apds of workingmen,
He has always been their friend, do
ing many noble deeds of private chari-
ty and timely assistance, as many men
in Springfield can eloquently testify.
He has ever granted regular pay to
his men when sick.
He never made a reduction of wages
in his shops.
A strike never occurred in his shops.
In the panic of 1878, he said that
the workingmen eventually bore all
the burden Of the panic, and he pro-
posed to hep them, and he increased
wages in his shops from 10 to 20 per
cent.
In 1880, when workingmen of Ohio
were being UNANIMOUSLY and shameless
ly frightened and bull.dozed, he called
his men together and said: "Fellow
workingmen-I employ you because
you are intelligent workingmen, fully
earn your wages, and make me a fair
profit. AS l think you have the in
teligence to make skilled mechanics, SO
I think you have to make skilled voters.
AS b,Eust in,your honor and conscien'
tldusrhgs. meehanics, SO do I as
voters, .Youfare as free born as any
il the land You are as much inter-
ested in the welfare of the country as
l. l shall vote the Democratic ticket.
You vote as you please. After the
election, whatever its result, 1 shall
hold the same esteem for you, and en-
ploy you at the same wages"
He made every dollar by honest
legitimate business. No banks, no
monopolies, no railroads, no syndicates,
no wealthy friends aided him. All
that he has of wealth, fame, education,
travel and culture, he won by his own
hands and brains, in clean, clear,
open, honest manner. His life is a
noble example to the toiling masses of
Ohio.

Ague Cure

Is purely vegetable bitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fee
yer, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
and loins, and coldness of the spine and
extremities, are only premonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
1t is startling fact, that quinine, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the "Fever and Ague
Preparations" Specifics" Syrups,". and
"Tonics," in the market. The prepafa-
tions made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. It
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its Crowning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus, drives out the poisons
which produce these complaints, and stim-
ulates the system to a vigorous; healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.

Superstitions of Turkish Wo-
men.

The Turkish woman is fanatical con-
servative. The world in which she lives
IS unmoved by the practical facts of the
nineteenth century which make life a
burden to her husband. She is iercely
lntolerant in matters of religious belief.
The teachings of the Koran have reach
ed her by word of mouth, and surrounded
by a perfect Talmud of tradition, and
these teachings shape her view of the
outside world. In obedience to them,
she commonly hates foreigners with pas
sion. AS she passes you on the street
she will pray with audible fervor that
your eyes may become blind, or that God
may curse you.
She is superstitious in the extreme.
In sickness she will use the saliva of an
old woman who has never been divorced
or will inhale the fetid breath of an
odoriferous and sanity dervish, in pre-
ference to the choicest prescriptions of
an educated physician. She is assured
that Satan in person teaches Americans
their skill in mechanical arts. She be-
lieves in charms. She will not live an
hour bereft of her three-cornered bit OF
leather which incloses the mystic phrase
that is potent to ward off the evil eye.
She distrusts Tuesday as the mother of
lll-luck, and will not celebrate the birth
day anniversaries of her children, nor
even record the date, lest some magician
use it to cast spell against the child.

John Foster relates the story of man
who had wasted a fortune with evil
associates, and one day went out to put
an end to his life. He wandered almost
unconsoiously till he came to the brow
of Hill overlooking his former estates.
He sat down there and thought for hours.
He had formed the plan to regain his
property, and he began instantly. He
walked hastily forward, determined to do
the first thing that came to hand, however
despicable, and not spend a cent if it
could be avoided. He first encountered
a heap of coal on the pavement, and
offered to put them in, for which he re-
ceived trife; and from this beginning
he went on, and died rich man.
"With my might" The year.is rapid
ly running on. Watch your calendar. If
your purpose is not formed, form and
execute it, at the same time seeking di-
vine help in those lines of honest endeav-
or where divine help is sure to follow.
No man or woman has right to waste
an hour. Time is the priceless possession
given to all alike. Up and be doing
with all your might, and success is before
you.-GoLden Rule.

Are Rich Men Happy?

On one of the last days of his earthly
existence Mr.. Hopkins, the late Balti-
more millionaire, called his devoted gar
dener to him and said az am beginning
to hate this place, because it does not
bring in money. 1 hate every thing that
does not bring in money. Did you ever
feed hogs2 Have yon not observed that
the strong animals bear away the ears of
corn, and that the weaker ones pursue
them squealingly, in hopes that all or
some of the treasure will be lost or drop
ped?, The gardener replied that the
sketch was true one. "Well, then, :"
said Mr.. Hopkins, am that strong
hog. | have that big ear of corn and
every piggish rascal in Baltimore is in
tent upon stealing it or wrestling it from
me. Sir" he said, turning brusquely to
the gardener, /" do you think very rich
man is happy ?" The gardener answered:
The extreme of poverty is sad thing.
The extreme of wealth, no doubt, bears
with it many tribulations." Mr.. Hop
kins reioined You are right, my
friend next to the hell of being utterly
bereft OF money is the purgatory. Of
possesslnga vast amount of it. l have a
mission, and under its shadow 1 have
accumulated wealth, but not happiness. +"

With My Might"

Leaf after leaf already torn from the
calendar of 1884, said thoughtful per-
son, "and must do it with my might. "
That person, if life is spared, will achieve
great years work not with his hands
alone, but with his brain Resolution, a
right idea of the worth of year, an iron
rigor against leaks and wastes of time, a
clear conscierce-these have brought
temporal and spiritual salvation to more
human beings than your arithmetic can
compute. All manner Of learning COM
ing to you by an instantaneous inspira
ton, wealth pouring itself into your idle
hands, fame coming to you which you
have never earned-all this would be q
curse rather than blessing. The great,
the good, the useful Of this world are
never made in this way. Watching the
leaves torn day by day from the calen-
der; the voice of the soul continually
whispering to itself, must do with my
might :" a conscience void Of offence to-
ward God and man-these are simple
conditions for the divinest achievements
wrought in the world.
There are thousands Of imbecile men
and women who are worthless to society
and to themselves, because they do not
heed these conditions. They drift with
the currents, without energy to strike out
a course for themselves. They never
hang up a calendar, or keep the run of
the days. They dc what they are forced
to do, and complain Of that They are
ignoble souls, and the year would seem to
be better without them. They demon
strate the truth of that rough saying,
An idle brain is the devils Workshop
and many of them become the mischief
makers Of mankind.
