Tall Oaks From Little Aeorns Grow.

Fall Oaks From Little Acorns Grow.
 Great and good results often spring from small deeds and so fatal diseases come of seemingly uifing neglect. Colds neglected often lead to serious catarrhal troubles. If this is your case lose no time in becoming acquainted with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Its healing virtues will surprise you. It is simple, ef6cacious, speedy, sure. Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, discharges from the nose into the throat arc symptoms of this horrible complaint. 9

HIS ILLUsTRIoUs PREDEcEssoR.-I is
now said that the Rev. DR.. Burchard, now
so widely known on account of his famous
and foolish 'Rum, Romanism, and Rebel
lion" utterance, is descendant of the DR..
Burchard who many years ago was SO eff
fectualiy snubbed by Aaron Burr. AS the
story goes, DR.. Burchard was annoyed be-
cause Col. Burr came late to service in
squeaking boots. One Sunday the Doctor
publicly reproved the offender, saying:
''You have been guilty of criminal Of
fence against the Almighty, sir, and on the
last great day shall appear at the bar of
God as your accuser." This was very i'm
pressive, but Burr was equal to the occa-
sion. Pausing at the door of his pew he
smilingly said: In the course of large
and varied criminal practice, Doctor, l
have observed that the greatest criminals
are always the first to turn States evil
dence." All the Burchards seem to have a
talent for getting into hot water.-Atlanta

THE FATHER AND HIS RUINED SoNs-
The Hon. VIM. E. Dodge said he knew a
young man who was then drunkard, the
son Of higbly-respectable merchant, BAN
ished from his fathers house. He signed
the pledge, and for a time prospered in
life.; One New Years day he .callld upon
his father, and as they had not met for a
long time before, the father pressed glass
of wine upon his reformed son. He Heyielded,
and that night was sadly intoxicated. He
is now poor homeless, wandering drunk
ard. The father did not heed the solemn
lesson; he still kept the fatal beverage in
his house and spread it before his children.
A second son was ensnared and is also a
drunkard. Forsoard.

ANNIE L. MUZZEY, In the Current.
Can there be sorrow in the world to- day,
And you and I SO happy? Can you think
This moment there are wretched souls that
drink
The hitter cup, even while we drain the
sweet?
And weary feet that toll thorny way,
While We. anburdened, walk the golden
street
Oflove's Jerusalem, and bathed in light
Forget the cropping pilgrims of the night7
My soul grows troubled with the oppressive
thought.
Beloved, shall we idly take our ease
And have no care. no tenderness for these7
Surely our blessedness should overflow
And make more glad our brothers fruitless
lot,
Tingeing with light his dismal cloud OF
Else wherefore to our trust has dear love
given
The kingdom, glory. power, and grace OF
Heaven.
These are the riches which waste multiplies;
Sowing broadcast we reap an hundredfold.
Hoarding our feast. 1t gathers taint and
mold;
wine
If mingled with the blood OF sacrifice;
More gloriously the sun of Love shall shine
If into darkened lives and desert ways
We cast the warmth and splendor of its rays.

PERENNIAL CLovER.-There is no Pc
rennial clover but white. The common
red is biennial plant, Towering and seed
ing the second year, when the root dies.
The suspicion that it is winter killed is a
mistaken one. But the crop may be made
perennial to some extent by double seeding
and letting the second growth seed. If
seed is sown two years in succession there
will be successive crops, and that which
dies out after seeding will be followed by
the alternate crop. In this way the clover
will retain possession of the ground for
some years at least, if it is rightly manured.
1t will need occasional applications of plas-
ter and superphospate and perhaps potash
in some form. If sown with timothy or
orchard grass, it will make more lasting
meadow than if sown in the usual manner.

There are some white men who are
equally puzzled with the Indians to see the
consistency of the laws relating to intoxi-
eating drinks. The Seminoles say, 1.-THE
white man first licenses man to distil fire
water, then he licenses another to sell it,
then he pays a policeman to catch those
who drink it and take them to Jail, and
when they come out they drink and are put

POETRY
THE LIGHT THAT Is FELT.
BY JOHN g. WHITTIER.

By JOHN u. WHITTIER.
A tender child of summers three,
Seeking her little bed at night.
Paused on the dark stairs timidly,
"Oh. mother take my hand" said she,
And then the dark will all be light" 4
We older children erope our way
From dark behind to dark before;
And only when our hands we lay,
Dear Lord, in Thine. the night is day
And there is darkness nevermore.
Reach downward to the sunless days
Wherein our guides are blind as we.
And faith is small and hope delays;
Take Thou the hands of prayer we raise,
And let us feel the light of Thee.

Pretty Mouths

Should have pretty teeth in them, but it is
not unusual to see between rosy lips, teeth
discolored aud decaying through neglect.
This disfguring defect should be repaired
without delay, by using fragrant SOZO-
DON'T, which removes every particle of
tartar from the teeth and renders them
snowy white. This admirable aid to beau
ty is perfectly harmless and exhales most
delightful aroma, and is in every respect
preferable to the ordinary tooth pastes and
powders. Try it and see for yourself.

Either tea or coffee long boiled, drives the
aroma into the air, and pleases the nostrils
but disappoints the palate. A good way is
to scald like tea, clear with tablespoonful
of cold water and let keep hot ten minutes
or more, but never boil it. Tea is best
drank two minutes after .scalding, try it.

Georgia and Kentucky are two staunch
Democratic States having the same popu

lican State, yet Georgia had but 800 me,

1,191, while Iowa. had 1858. Massachu
setts has always been a good Republican
State. Its population is the same as that
Of the Democratic State of Texas, yet Mas
sachusetts has twice as many saloon keep
ers as Texas, and so has Michigan, another
Republican State of about the same popu.
lation. Wisconsin, steady Republican
State, has about 1900, 900 inhabitants, and
so has North Carolina, Democratic State
Wisconsin has 1881 saloon-keepers, while
North Carolia has III. Ohio, Republican
State, with only 25 per cent. more people
than Indiana, a democratic State, has so
per cent. more saloon-keepers, and little
Republican Rhode Island has three times
as many saloons as little Democratic Della
ware.

Law for Doctors,

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts, has
just overruled the exceptions in the case of
The Common wealth against 'Dr." Franklin
Pierce who was convicted in Worcester of
granddaughter in causing the death of Mary
A. Benis. Pierce pretended to be physi-
clan with specific which was warranted to
cure all diseases. This specific was kero-
ssne oil which he administered both inter-
nslly and externally. Being called to at
tend Mrs. Benis, who was very sick, he Or
dered that she be wrapped in blanAet satu-
rated with kerosene. His instructions were
obeyed and the woman soon died in terrible
agony. ''Dr." Pierce was indicted, and the
jury found verdict of guilty of manslaugh-
tor.
His counsel fled exceptions and took
the case to the full bench, relying on the de-
cision in Commonwealth vs.. Thompson in
1909, in which the Massachusetts court laid
down the doctrine that "if one assuming the
character of physician, through ignorance,
administers medicine with the honest inten-
ton and expectation of cure, but which
causes the death of q patient, he is not gull
ty Of feIonious homicide" The present
court, however, holds that this doctrine is
bad law and that person who pretends to
be physician and administers medicine the

Gen. Hssen, the chief signal officer, is in
hot water again. Lieut.. Darlington and
Commander Wildes are not inclined to rest
silent under his charge that they were re-
sponsikle for the failure of the Greedy relief
expedition q year ago, and the latter has
written very vigorous reply to Gen. Ha-
sens assertions in his annual report. Com
mander Wildes maintains that he strictly
obeyed orders, and that his course after the
loss of the Proteus was the best possible I'M
der the circumstances. Gen. Hazen has al
SO called out very severe rebuke from the
Secretary of War for his insinuation that the
latter was delinquent in not sending out an
expedition Immediately after the failure of
Lieut.. Garlington's became known. Perhaps
the responsibility for the failure to relieve
Greedy in 1883 will never be fixed beyond
controversy, but it is pretty safe to say that
at the present time, Notwithstanding Gen.
Hazen's protests, a great majority of the per-
sons familiar with the history of the Gar
lington expedition are of the opinion that a
large shaIs of the blame for its failure be-
longs to Gen. Hazen himself.
