SWEPT INTO THE STREAM.
One Thousand Acres Of Land and a
Wright Smart Of
Bears"

Bears"
On the deck of big Mississipp;
steamboat stood an aged Southern
planter. Indicating by sweep of his
arm the waters the boat was passing
over, he said to passenger from the
North: "When was twelve years old
/ killed my f,st bear on new planta-
ton my father was then cutting out of
forest that grew directly over the
waters ofthis bend. That was mighty
good plantation, and there was right
smart Of bears there, too But that
one thousand acres of land went into
the Mississippi river many years ago :"
1t is putting no strain upon the fig
ure to say that great forests of youth
full hope, womanly beauty and mani,
strength are swept in the same way
every year into the great, turbid tor
rent of disease and death. Yet it
should not be 80. That it is so is IL
disgrace as we'll as loss. People are
largely too careless or too stupid tn
defend their own interests-tl.e most
precious of which is health. That gone
all is gone Disease is simple, but to
reeklessnes or ignorance the simplest
things might as we'll be complex as
proposition in Comic Sections. AS the
hinge Western rivers. which so often
food the cities along their shores, arise
in a few mountain springs, 80 all onr
ailments can be traced to Impure blood
and small group of disoIdere organs
The most effective and inclusive
remedy for disease is Parkel's Tonic.
1t goes to the sources of pain and
weakness. In response to it's action,
tho liver, kidneys, stomach and heart
begin their work afresh, and disease is
driven nut. The Tonic is not, howev-
or, an intOxicant, but cures a desire
for strong drink. Have you dvspep-
sia, rheumatism, or troubles which
have refused to yield to other agents ?
Here is your help.

The Governor-elect Of Ohio, Mr..
Hoadley, having been asked whether
he still insists upon emitting the usual
Inauguration display, replied: II am
opposed to it on principle. To me it
appears utterly undemocratic. There
is no tenable reason why the civil Gov
ernor of a State should be indicted in
to Office with military pomp. It may
be admissible in the case Of the Presi-
dent of the United States, but that is
open to debate"
