We scarcely pick up a paper that we
do not find cases of restitution record
e6-mostly in localities where wealth
most abOunds. Did it ever occur to
OPT readers that the greater part of the
contributions for the destitute and suf-
ferIng come from those in moderate
circumstances and not from the rich?
This is certainly the case. Very few Of
the wealthy contribute to the poor,
though there are some exceptions to
the rule. Referring this ques ton to the
philosopher of the Record he replied
Ii they were like you, anxious to re-
Heve all the restitution and suffering
that came in their way. they would not
be rich. The person who would enjoy
riches must steel his heart against the
cries of suffering humanity. Russell

ASH CREEK.

New Year was enjoyed by the peo-
pie here to the fullest extent. There
were several dinners at which happy
folks gathered and expressed senti-
ments Of good will toward one an
other. There was a merry gathering
of young folks at Capt. Pratt's. We
do not know who were there and so
cannot make personal mention Of
any. Right here we Will say that we
have been Scored" at different times

getting old and losing our hair and
teeth; besides we are not omniscient,
also that we are just as hungry for

just send their notes to US we will be
glad to "dress them up" land our

We spent New Years with Uncle
Peter Selbe and it was a happy New
Year for US. The ladies had prepar-

In fact all the delicacies Of the season
prepared in the height of the cullen

with the substantials Of a thrifty
farmers table, and were put out of
sight with ''neatness and dispatch"

could have laid aside your opinion

Sixteen Lost-One Saved

At a public dinner given to Gen.
Harrison when he was a candidate for
the Office of the President of the Uni
ted States, one of the guests, rather
cOnspiciOusly, drank to his health. -
The General pledged his toast by
drinking water. Another gentlemen
offered a toast, and said, General,
will you favor me by drinking a glass
of wineY' The General, in a very
gentlemanly way, begged to be ex-
cused. He was again urged to Join
IN a glass of wine. This was too
much. He rose from his seat and
said, in the most dignifed manner:
Gentlemen, I have twice refused
to partake of the wine cup. I hope
that will be sufficient. Though YOU
press the matter ever so much, not a
drop shall pass my lips. I made a
resolve when I started in life that I
would avoid strong drink. That VOW
1 have never broken. I am one of a
class of seventeen young men who
graduated at college together. The
other sixteen members of my class
now fill drunkards' graves-and all
from the perniciOus habit of wine
drinking. I owe all my health, my
happiness, and prosperity to that
resolution. Would you urge me to
break it nOw?"
The effect on that company may be
imagined.

CURE FOR SNAIL POX.

The London Sculpel. the highest
medical authority in the world gives
the following as an infaIlible cure for
small pox and scarlet fever. Sui
phate of zinc one grain; foxglOve
(digitalis) one grain; half a teaspoon
full Of sugar; mix with two spoonfulls
of water. Take teaspoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear
in u hours. For a child smaller
doses according to age. It states
that those cities and counties where
the doctors use this remedy will have
no need Of pest houses.
ANOTHER CURE-"I am willing to
risk my reputation" wrote DR.. Ed
Hine to the Liverpool Mercury, IF
the worst case Of smallpox cannot be
cured in three days simply by the use
of cream of tartar. One ounce of tar
tar dissolved in pint of water, drank
at intervals when cold, is a certain,
never-faiGng remedy. It has cured
thousands, never leaves a mark,
never causes blindness and avoids
tedious lingering.
