at was just thinking" said Max Mayer,
pointing to the Brettun House, which is rap
idly nearing completion, "whas an immense
amount Of pluck there is in Kansas La that
elegant structure | see confidence in the fu-
ture as well as satisfaction with the present
OF this city. Now, I call that enterprise of
the broadcast character. That building will
come to this community. Apart from its
value as financial investment it will be q
fine educator. It is shapeiy and noble
structure, and will exercise large influence
upon the minds Of all who hereafter erect
buildings here. Every building constructed
from this time forth will be little better
because of it.
"You see, sir, " addressing the reporter and
growing argumentative, there is tar gble
durability and value expressed in that house.
1t is bold assertion of confidence which will
beget confidence in others. Ii is fact which
[ presume you will not attempt to contro-
vert, that however delightfal the intangible
and misty nay be to men in matters of SEN
tinent and religion, they shrink from the
same conditions in financial habit. The old
dsrky expressed this fact in q homely
but forcible way when. in support of his
assertion that he would rather be smashed
in railroad train than wrecked on the
ccear, he said: If yo' is cast away
on do ocean, whar is We? But il yo
is smashed up on de train, dar yo is =
Men can grapple with the tangible, either
seen or felt, but are afraid of the converse
when it touches the pocket nerve. 1t is also
fact that men do not always grasp the tan
gible, but it sometimes grasps them. For
instance: rheumatism is tangible fact. Now,
q man who has rheumatism is painfully cen.
scfous of my assertion. He recognizes it as
ansexisting fact, but is not able to control it.
He is in its grasp. His first thought is of
assistance. To obtain this he employs some
tangible force. in order to subdue his pain

whose phaEmacy il located down this street.
While spe akiug of this very subject remarked
that no man can exactly describe rheuma-
tisn, ESPECIALLY the ipfsmmatory type. It is
compound Of every thing, that is painful.
When it is in your arm you feel as though
an elephant had trod on it. When it attacks
your body you gather the impression that
the impact CT hurricane of horror is
being concentrated upon you from all points
of the compass. Ii it be in your feet,
you experience the sensation of having been
screwed up in vice with friend at the lever
giving it an extra twist at intervals in order
20 make good job of it. Through it all
YOUR flesh is SO sensitively sore that the
weight Of feather will make you scream,
and the rustling of a lady's silk dress in
your room will cause your tortured, nervous
system to writhe in agony. Mr.. Hoyey, who
is from Bloomington, Ill.,, said he experienced
Just these sensations nearly two years ago
while living at his old home Here, then,
we have man in the grasp of the tangible.
Now tie next step in the demonstration is
the employment Of force to grapple with
and master it, since tie man himself is not
able to do it. Mr.. Hovey had good medi-
cal attention, but, as many before have ex-
perienced, they did not succeed in master
ing his disease. He was two months in bed
and growing worse. A little thing finally
turned the tide in his favor. IL ia sometimes
wonderful what results flow from little
thing. They say that the refusal OF Leayen-
worth to appropriate $40. 600 towards build
ing railroad bridge, built Kansas City.
Well, be this as it may. the happy thought
of fellow clerk employed in the drug store
with Mr.. Hovey, probably saved that gentle
mans life. When Mr.. Hovey was at his
worst, and his friends, as well as himself, be-
gan to think he was almost ready to climb
the golden stairs, his friend sent him a bottle
Of ST.. Jacobs Oil from the store with the sug-
gestion that it be applied thoroughly. The
physicians had been using compound chloro-
form liniment and administering medicine
internally, and with it all Mr.. Hovey was
only able to sleep and forget his pain when
under the influence of choral. They applied
the Great German Remedy and the sufferer
said he felt immense relief. From that mo-
ment they did not use any other Imminent,
but just kept on applying the st. Jacobs Oil
an OIL h.
force for which his medical attendants had
been looking, and it was owing to the incl
dent OF friends passing thought that it was
used Mr.. Hovey remarked that he, il com.
mon with all other men in his profession, en-
tertains prejudice against what are termed
patent medicines, but his experience with the
Great German Remedy has since compelled
him to make an exception in its favor. This
is simply an outcropping of mans natural
skepticism until he is convinced by ocular
or physical demonstration.
"Now, the ladies, God bless them con-
tonued Mr.. Mayer, are cast in different
ton, which is all the same. When good
woman asserts q fact and gives as her reason
because, l put it all down to faith, and feel
pretty near believing in it myself on account
of the confidence | repose in her intuition.
A great preacher once sail that woman
ought to have the virtue of faith and graft.
tude in the christian religion more largely
developed in her than a man, because chris.
tianity rescued her from slavery. So she a.,
and she carries it into everything in life, and
| [ will back her faith against the reason of a
man any time. Therefore when Mrs. I. K.
! johnson, who il conductiog one of your
popular ap thecaries, realized that she had
| rheunatisrn, she at once. resorted to st.
Jacobs Oil tor relief, and found it. Having
read and heard much about its wonderful
power it became tangible force to her mind
simply through her intuitiVe faith. She
! would not probably explain it in this way,
| but am inclirel to believe it true, notwith-
standing the fact tina. her husband suggested
| it az pos ible efficacious relevant. Having
been cured herself of rheumatism by the ST.
Jacobs Oil she recon mended it to others, and
to-day she told me that this Old had relieved
her husband of neuralgia, and lady friend
of rheumatism, while David Dix, a we'll.
digger, who had strained himself, had been
relieved by two or three applications.
II think, sir, you will allow that I have
sustained my promises. viz: that n BILE
! bailding is of priceless value to q growing
town, and st. Jacobs Oil wonderful cura
| tive power in rheumatic pain. May both the
new hotel and the Great German Remedy
continue to prove blessing to your citizens.
Good day"
