Farmer Johns SolilOquy.

L mout well acknowledge, faint o. beatin'
round,
I've done heap o. thinkin' plowin' up this faller
ground,
An suthin's been painin' an achn me like sin
reckened twas dispepsy an malary creepn in.
AT last got my dander up, an to myselfsez L:
The biggest fool in Natur's him that tells hisself
lie;
I've been lettin' on It's malary and my stummmick,
when I know
It's my conscience that's a-hurtin' an aworryn'
I've been a shirkn' this here thing for thirty year
more,s
An orto' had this shakin' up and settlin down
afore.
I've been honest fur as payin' goes, not penny do
1 owe,
But the kind o. cheatin' that done was the kind
that didn't show.
My mind goes back to Hammer; when 1 fetched her
here BRIDE,
No apple bloom sweeter, an she nussled to my
side
Like she thought she had right to, am could trust
without fear
For the love I never limited at for more'n thirty
year.
There was churnin', bakn biin', there was nussin'
and the rests
From along afore the riz' till he slumbered in
the West,
An when the rest of was done, an ollin' round
cheers,
Hammer recuperatin' with her needle an her
shears.
But when the life ebbin from that faithful pa
tent heart,
l had to face the music-I hadn't done my part;
And L couldn help a thinkin', watchn out that
weary life,
That there's other ways o. killin 'xcept pistol
knife.
1t sounds like sacreHgion but knew jist what she
meant
AS I whispered ely to meet me when my airthly
life is SPENT
''I'm tired, John, so tired but I've allus done my
best,
An may feel more like flynn when I've had
~ rest

Be True to Yourself.

When comrades inyite you to break away
From the duties to which you're bound,
And to join with them in their idle play,
To whirl in their giddy round,
Reflect moment before you take
A course you may sadly rue,
And for your own and dear ones sake,
Be true to yourself-be truei
There'll come a time-for it comes to all
When Satan with purpose strong,
Will knock at the door of your heart and call
On you to defend the wrong;
And though he endeavors TO blind your eyes,
Your doubts and fears to subdue,
Stand up for the right, and without disguise,
Be true to yourself-be true!
Be true to yourself each hour of the day,
So honestly, fearlessly true,
That neither a foe nor friend may say
That he was deceived in you;
Let honor be set in the highest place,
Secure from the reach of pelf,
And in every case, by an act of grace,
Be true-Oh, be true to yourselfl
Oh, would that maxim wise as this
Would reach to the inmost heart
OF those who a nobler calling miss
By acting foolish part!
For whatever the post you may have to fill,
Whatever the task you pursue,
The prize is yours if you only will
Be true TO yourself-be truei

AT an agricultural meeting One
other day, "Thc best way to keep
girls on Che farm" was discussed. no
conclusion was reached, but we think
a barbed wire fence, six feet high,
minus gates, surrounding the farmt
would solve the problem. A boy
takes his lifc IN his hands whom ho
attempts 20 crawl over or undor or
through a wire fence, and bee doesn't

A w WARNING.-The modes of deaths approach
are various, and statistics show eoncluslvely that
more persons die from diseases of the throat and
lungs than any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast numbers of
tubercle germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and
develop, at first slowly and is shown by slight
tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to
continue their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing consumption and to the head, causing
catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed
to proceed viii in time death. At the onset
you must act with promptness; allowing cold to
go without attention is dangerous ann may lose
you your life. As soon you feel that something
is wrong with your throat, lungs nostrils, obtain
bottle of Bosehec's German Syrup. 1t will give
you immediate relief.

A few years ago nothing was so
much written about as natural goa
and It's advantages. Many manulac-
turing firms moved their works tp
the gas fields, and prepared TO take
advantage OF thc cheap fuel.
10 is evident that everything in
this world must come 90 an end, or
20 a state Of rest, at some time or
other. IL is also evident that nat-
ural gas must be used mp, on ot
least be supplied only as fast aa
made IN natures rctorts.
When the surplus 81 natural gua
is exhausted, a substitute must bo
found therefor. In tho line of proc
gression which all things must fol-
low, substitutes, so-called, invariably
turn out 90 be improvements upon
the original, and la turn become in-
valuable until superseded by some
thing still better.
As long as the sun Shines upon
the earth, 80 long no one will suaor
from the lack Of heat. The progress
sive man will DO well 30 turn his
thoughts toward utilizing thia aup.
ply Of heat, and making II available
at will.
To solve the sun-hcat problem will
require years Of thought and study
but its successful application will
cause n greater revolution in wort
than did the steam engine or tho
telegraph and telephone.

Within the Century.

It is rather more likely than not
that the old men of this period, those
who came into the world with the
present century, or a few years after,
have seen more material progress
than those of any preceding cen
fury of which the history was
written orpreserved. The first steam
vessel, christened the Savannah,
which crossed the Atlantic Ocean,
sailed from the port of Savannah on
the Goth of May, 1919 arrived at
Liverpool on the following Goth of
June, but it was nearly twenty years
later, or just fifty years ago on April
23d, that the real steam ferriage Of
the Atlantic was inaugurated by the
arrival at New York of the steam
ship Sirius and Great Western with
in a few hours of each other, the first
of which sailed from Cork on the 4th
and the latter from Bristol on the
9Th of April, 1888. The Savannah,
twenty years before (part sail and
steam had taken twenty-six days to
make the passage. The Great West
ern was fifteen days between port and
port, but now the same voyage is
made in less than seven days by some
of the new ocean racers. The devel-
Opment of the uses of the power of,
steam alone is suggestive as any,
thing need be of the material pro-
gress of the century, but to it must
be added the jacquard loom, the.
magnetic telegraph, the cotton gin,i
the power loom, the screw propeller
the iron and screw ship, the vast
march of chemistry, and in the heal
ing art, the sewing machine, the tele-
phone, the ploughing, planting and
harvesting machines, the Hoe rotary
and other multiple power printing
machines, the photograph, the
dynamo" the electric light, the
electric motor and all those thou
sand and one mechanical inventions
and scientific discoveries which are
in active operation to-day, and which
were not in practical existence in the

WARNER'SSAFEPILLS
The Flesh of Diseased Animals.

1t is held by many (even among
chose who are not vegetarians) that
some serious diseases which now eff
feet the human family would be pre-
vented if animal TODD were not part
of human sustenance. 1t is urged
that flesh derived from diseased ami
mails finds it's way freely into the hui
man body, and that by it's introduc-
ton diseases are introduced. The
fact that the flesh of diseased ami
mails does find it's way into the market
and on the table is beyond question.
Our wise and discerning Jewi sh breth-
rem have taught us this truth in I'M
mistakable form. They, in obedience
to their ancient law, have all their
animal food duly inspected. Their
retu ms on the subject are worth re-
cording. In1S7S out of22, 3OS oxen
killed in London no fewer than 1885
Or nearly third, were rejected as
diseased. Out of 1880 calves 7s5
were rejected. Out of Al, $50 sheep
1903 were rejected. In the year
1879, in the course of so weeks, out
of a total of %, 1897 oxen 1851 were
rejected; out ola total of3 ,691 calves
1 ,O28 were rejected; of 3S,3O2 sheep
1926 were rejected. In 1880, from
July to Dec. 25-25weeks-out of
1916 oxen 6,143 were rejected. Of
calves numbering 1, 1854 as many as
634 were rejected; and out of 10, 743
sheep 5,535 were refused for food be-
cause of the presence of disease. If
this analysis be applied to the ami
NAL food consumed outside the jew
ish pale in the United Kingdom,
about one-third of such food gives
some evidence Of disease; SO that
flesh eaters who are not Jews are par
taking of diseased flesh during four
months of each year of their lives.
The information is startling when it
is put forward in this plain and I'M
vanished way. Fortunately, it is
qualified by the correction that in
the process of cooking the diseased
meat the evil consequences are very
largely removed. Still, it is not a
pleasant subject for Professionalism.

Premier Greenway and Atty. Gen. Martin
of Manitoba left st. Paul to consult with
General Manager Cakes, of the Northern
Pacific, regarding the sale of the Red River
Valley railway. According to arrangement
they meet Cakes in Chicago, but it is likely
the party will go to New York to sign the
contract if satisfactory arrangements be
made regarding the sale. The only way they
can be made satisfactory is by Northern Pa
cfic people agreeing to guarantee maximum
freight rates on wheat. 1t is doubtful il the
company will concede this point. The Cana
dian Pacific people are already agitated over
the probable purchase, realizing that the
Northern Pacific will prove dangerous COM
petitor They threaten, if the government
sells the Red River Valley, to construct
line between Winnipeg and Duluth, and thus
get even with the Northern Pacific. The out
look for q big railroad war il excellent.

ington and Colfax townships, Webster
county, Iowa, and has Aecome epidemic.
The disease appeared only couple OF days
since, and nearly hundred cattle have
died. Twenty-three herds are affected. Only
Veterinarians can do nothing. The pros
poets are that they will see the worst cattle
epidemic in progress that ever afflicted this

Wonderful Popularity.

The fact that the sale of d. Pcrce's Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets exceeds that of any
other pill in the market, be it great or small,
is on account of the fact that they are tinv,
little sugar-coated granules, and that in most
cases onelittle Pellet" is sufficient for dose;
that they are purely vegetable and perfectly
harmless; and for constipation, biliousness,
sick headache, and all disease arising from

they are absolutely specific. A gentle
