A Home Mission Subject.


See poor little Jimmy on his pallet of straw.
He does not have to go to bed to lie. He can
lie much better standing up. 1t does not
tire him to lie any more than it does re-
form politician. But he doesn't feel mite
chirk to-day. That is, he is feeling q bit
freakish.
Jimmy is a hard citizen. Do you know
what hard citizen is? Well, Jimmy is one.
He used to be prig and steal things. He
would steal something now, if he could get
up, just the same as though he was a Tennes-
SEQ treasurer. Jimmy was in Jail for steal
ing one time.
1t almost broke his poor mothers heart to
think that he got caught,
She is on that lay herself aud has lifted
many tidy wipe and handy bloSe when she
was out drumming up the cold victuals
market or asked for plain sewing on the
poor widow lay.
Why is Jimmy lying on his pallet of
straw2
Well, he crept into Il freight car the other
day, to bag a box OF oranges when n special
ran in on the other siding, and knocked
Jimmy and his fruit car into the ditch. The
shock and the fall and one thing and another
broke little Jimmy's back, fractured his right
arm in three places, scalped him, put out his
right eye, cut off one of his logs, and inflicted
severe injuries upon him. The doctor says
he may get well, but he fears he will always
be a cripple. 1t looks that way.
Jimmy does not lie on his pallet reading
Sunday school books. Ho cannot read. But
he can swear most beautiful. And yester-
day, when his sister Ann fell down on him
while she was whipping the baby, he bit OFF
her ear.
Now come on, and be sure and put your
three cent piece in the missionary box for
the poor heathon who live in far distant
land, whore there are no Sunday schools.

WHAT HE FOUND.
Because 1t RebelIed Against Ill Treat-
ment-PeOpIe who Dream.

Having told the story ofthat terrible mental strug.
gle in his earlier years. which ended in his abandon
ing orthodoxy in religion the late Thomas Carlyle
ended with these words;
"Yes, was shut up in my room in that way for
weeks, eating ttle and that all sorts of odd times
and when settled the faith question, and came out
to tho world again, for the first time in my life was
conscious OF possessing such Internal apparatus as
stomach" II may be added that during the rest of
his long life acknowledgements kept the fact Of the
existence OF his stomach perpetually in the great
mans mind.
Dlsordered digestion and a torpid liver handicap
multltudes of people in lfes race. They are beaten
everywhere, With their liver engorged with bloc
and their brain dded through lack of nutrition they
pass through the world like them that dream. Thus
enfeebled and iacd in spirit and body they are the
first to fall before the touch of an epidemic or TO
yield to any illness. Many vacant chair In editorial
rooms in business oces, and in the studies of liter
AIRY men tells this tale.
Natures own stimulus for a sluggish circulation Of
the blood is BENsoN's CAPCINE POROUS PLAs
TER Itstlrs the dun organs into activity relieves
them from the poisonous matter which paralyzes
their powers and renders life real again. and imparts
snap and vigor to the man.
Without being harmful, the old style plasters are
always slow, weak, and uncertain but Benson's Cap
cine acts quickly and heals at once.
When you buy it take notice that the word CAP
CINE cut in the plaster then pay your 25 cents and

Decoration day was universally and pat
riotically observed all over the northern States.
The National cemeteries, where rest many OF
the heroes of the great war, were visited, in
some instances, by imposing military and
civic professions, and the cemeteries all over
the country where lie the patriot dead by pro
cessions, moderate in some instances as to num-
bers and display, but all inspired by senti-
ments of love and veneration for the martyrs
of the great Republic. Here, in Butler, last
Wednesday, our business men We'd with each
other in the decoration of their places of busi-
ness, the military formed in their hall and
headed by the cornet band marched to the
Court House, where they heard an excellent
and appropriate address by Judge Taylor, OF
Franklin, and then marched to the several eem-
eteries and decorated the graves of the soldiers,
with flowers that had been literally furnished
by our people This annual exhibition OF
love and affection towards our dead soldiers IS
the sweetest and at the same time the proudest
tribute that could be paid them.

General News Notes

BY imperceptible degrees France is
drifting into war with China. Mr.
Gladstone said in the House of Com
mons last Friday, that he could do
nothing to prevent it, and now that
the newspapers have published ac-
counts of the barbarities inflicted on
Commander Riviere and his comrades,
the popular Indignation in France
may sweep everything before it.
French troops have been called from
New Caledonia. Chinese men-ofwar
are being dispatched from the dock
Yards at Kiel. The new French en-
voy to China has gone to deliberate
with Lii Hung Chang, on the result of
their interview depends the question
of war or peace.
Nicholas Vandenburgh descended
into well at Schuylerville, N. Y, to
rescue laborer overcome by gas.
Vandenburgh was suffocated. His
wife went to his assistance and she
also perished.
A couple of weeks since; two year
old son of Fred. Carroll, of Worth
township, Mercer county, attempted to
swallow grain of coffee, when it
lodged in his windpipe. The physi-
clan being unable to remove it, made
an incision in the throat and inserted
pipe, so that the little fellow might
breathe, and in the hope that the OBJ
struction might be blown out. The
experiment was unsuccessful, death
resulting three days after
A seven year old dauphter of S. w.
Hawn, of Ashtabula, died on Sunday
morning from an overdose of laudanum
given by her father to ease her pain
from badly scalded hand. The faith
er gave her a small dose, which not
seeming sufficient to effect the end de.
sired, he repeated the dose, with the
sad results noted. Medical aid was
promptly summoned but without avail.

of the Methodist Episcopal Church,

force near Hanoi, says Captain Riviere on
leaving the fort advanced with $50 marines,
leaving in reserve force of go men. These
however, remained too far in the rear to be of
service to Captain Rivicre's advance guard
which was surprised by large force of Anna
mites and almost annihlated. On the rear
