"Like OtCakes.,'

The above is an old-time express
ion, and is nearly as "old as the
hills" but yet it is occasionally
brought into good use, and placed
in a position where it counts and
adds great weight to the words &C
companying it. This is true in the
following testimonial sent to DIR. S.
b. Hartman & Co., by Messrs. Par.
rett Il Son, druggists, of Greenfield
Ohio, who say:
"Send us some more advertising
matter. Your medicine is selling
like hot cakes. Send us good sup.
ply, for we need it badly"
Those men know when they hand
lie good thing. Judging from the
above, PERUNA and MANALIN
must be in good demand in that
country. Being composed purely OF
vegetable ingredients, druggists fee
safe in recommending them to their
friends. Send for the pamphlet or
the Ellis of Life"

Humane Motive.

A man who had just returned
from Mexico, speaking of bull
fights, said:
"The practice cannot be called

Look Out for the Rocks.

a gentleman crossing the En-
gl1sh Channel stood near the
helmsman. 1t was q calm and
pleasant evening, and no one
dreamed of a possible danger to
their good ship. But sudden
Tapping of a sail, as if the wind
had shifted, caught the ear of the
officer on watch, and he sprang at
once to the wheel, examining
closely the compass.
"You are half a point off the
course" he said sharply to the
man at the wheel. The deviation
was corrected, and the officer re-
turned to his post.
"You must steer very accurate
ly,0 said the looker-on, "when only
half apoint is SO much thought off,
"Ah J half APPOINT in many places
might bring ms directly on the
rocks" he said.
So it is in life. Half a point
from strict truthfulness strands us
above the rocks of falsehood.
Half a point from perfect honesty,
and we are steering right for the
rocks OF crime. And SO of all
kindred vices. The beginnings
are always small No one climbs
to summit at one bound, but
goes up one little step at time.
Children think lightly Of what they
call small sins. These rocks do
not look so fearful to them.
