Log Cabin Logic.
Drawn and Brain

The powerful engine, with its won
derful propelling power, coupled to
the long train full freighted with the
richest fabrics of the intellectual looms
of the centuries-what obstacles can
stay the progress of this mighty force,
when once under full steam along life's
highway?
The American with Drawn and
brain does not see the necessity for
titles of nobility, does not care for
elevation by descent, he can reach out
and pluck the stars.
But with Drawn and brain impaired,
a man is badly handicapped in the
mad race for success which is the
marked characteristic OF the present
age.
The physical system is a most intri-
cate piece of machinery. 1t ought TO
be kept well regulated, so that it will
work tremendously in all its parts,
then it is capable of an immense
amount of work.
1t is said that a watch, If expected
to keep perfect time, must be wound
daily. 1t will not keep good time I'M
less it runs regular" More men
break down because they don't run
regular" than for any other reason.
1t is claimed by physicians that few
men are killed by hard work. 1t is TO
the irregularities of modern social life
that the high death rate is due. Men
burn their candle at both ends, then
wonder why it burns out so quickly.
The main thing in keeping the hui
man machine in good working order
is to keep the regulator all right.
THE blood is the life, and sound
health is assured so long as the blood
flows through the veins limpid stream
of purity.
Regulate the regulator with War
ner's Log Cabin sarsaparilla, the old
fashioned blood purifier, prepared af-
ter the best formula in use by our
ancestors in good old Log Cabin days
and with the vigor of Drawn and
brain which must ensue, in your life's
lexicon you will find no such word as

Pastoral Terms.


The bishops of the Methodist Epis-
copal church have decided that the
action Of the general conference in
May last limiting the pastoral terms to
five instead of three years, takes i'm
mediate effect. In the early days Of
the denomination-befo 1SOO-the
appointments were for six months,
afterward for a year. The appoint
ments are made annually at each ses-
sion of the annual conference and re-
APPOINTMENTS have been usual for the
second and third years, thus making
it possible for a three years term
Under the recent action a term Of five
wears is provided for. 1t may be that
with some of the larger churches and
the most prominent the five year rule
will be popular. 1t is not to be dis
guised that some congregations and
some ministers feel that each can en-
dure for one year but no longer
Should the five year rule be enforced
next spring there will not necessarily
be a change in the Baltimore confer
ence, but. as heretofore, the question
of changes will rest in large degree
with the bishop and presiding elders.

ton with the Maryland State Fair,

ton in the interest of exhibits OF

for the most successful fair the assocl-

and agricultural products, there VIII
be twenty-one trotting, running,
chariot steeple and hurdle races; daily

has been made to put the race-course
in perfect condition, and all the walks
and drives have received much atten-
ton.
The people from jefferson county
will attend the fair by the hundreds.
The Washington county people have
always shown great interest In the
Morean's Grove exhibition, and lib
orally aided it. That interest will be
returned now doubled and trebled, and
the cordial relationship between the
two associations more firmly cemented
than ever.
