HAD BEEN TO MEETING.

And Elder Davis Had Called Him

We were driving along highway

"Where is your SOM" I asked.

to a young man lying at full length

three or four grain bags for cover

if he went down there and begun to

There's good deal of guarantee bust

This offer to refund the money, or tC
pay a reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the reward
OF course.
So, whoever is honest in making it, and
works-not on his own reputation alone,
but through the local dealer, whom you
know, must have something he has faith
in back Of the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year without it. What
is lacking is confidence. Back Of that
what is lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average practice. .
DR.. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to
accomplish what they are intended to do,
and their makers give the money back if
the result isn't apparent.

which the makers have so much conf

That old chronological absurdity
which derives the word "news" from
the initial letters of the words denot-
ing the points of the compass
north, east, west, south-is again 60
ing the rounds of the press. Such
derivation is equally correct with
that of the southern school boy who
said that hominy was derived from
homini (the dative case of homo, a
many because it was good "for a
man" News is simply the plural
of the adjective new used as noun
The French use nouvelles, the plural
of nouvelle. Really, there is no sci
ence in which a little learning is so
dangerous thing as in phllogy.

A man in Trumbull county. O.,

A man in Trumbull county, O.,
who had a sick COW, wanted to get
her up; not being able to do SO With
his own strength he fixed blanket
under her, attached his hay carrier
and hitched on the old horse, which
had not forgotten the distance he
had to go to deliver the hay and
didn't propose to stop short. He
drew the old COW up to the top of
the barn where the track carried her
over an empty bay when the blanket
gave way and dropped her on the
logs, breaking every bone in her
body.

WILL CARLETON'S WIFE.
A Poet Who Finds a Help in His
Wife.

VINE.
Such woman as Mrs. Will earle
ton is by nature a large part of Z
successful husbands career, writes
Edward w Box, in the September
LadIes' Home Journal She is the
perfect embodiment of everything
that is best and most lovable in wo-
man. No sweeter disposition was
ever given to any one. Trials and
perplexities know no greater foe
than her smile. Everything about
her is quiet and gentle. Her life,
her work, her charities, her manner,
her conversation, all are alike-she is
womanly in every respect. The
fads of the day trouble her not.
The substantial basis of belief in
what is good, built by her sterling
parentage, is her creed. In her
home Mrs. Carleton is perfect
manager. The house, supported
from the proceeds of her husband s
pen, on Greene avenue, Brooklyn,
reflects the nature of she who rules
over it. There is no outer show, no
inner ostentation; gentle air of re-
finement permeates every room.
Every piece of furniture is of the
best; cheap things Mrs. Carleton
abhors. What she buys is calculated
to be useful as we'll as ornamental.
Her housekeeping instinct is as per-
feet as is her taste in the embellish-
ment of a room. She is queen of
her domain, and every domestic de-
tail is under her own supervision.
Through her table she studies her
husbands pleasure; through her
home she studies his comfort.
With the reins of her domestic du-
ties thoroughly mastered with one
hand, she drives Pegasus with the
other Many little detail in her
husbands busy life as literary man
is taken charge of by her. She sees
his verses long before the editor, the
publisher or the public, and upon
her literary judgment the poet often
relies. Mr.. Cartoons lecturing en-
gagements, becoming each year
more numerous, has added some
thing to the wife's duties, and when
he is away en- tour she watches his
interests at home.
Mrs. Carleton is a conscientious
member of the Washington Avenue
Baptist church, of Brooklyn, and one
of the most active workers in every
one of its departments; every mo-
ment of leisure is given over to
church duties. For years she has
also been one of the managers of the
Brooklyn Home for Consumptives-
a unique and most humane charity,
in which Mrs. Cartoons best inter
ests are constantly enlisted.
Mrs. Carleton never comes before
the public in any of her works. She
is an efficient advocate of all that is
good and true; but her methods are
of the quiet order.

Nearly every pattern of ia Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the 9,'arb threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-
inc it isn't worth one half as much.
The fact that "a Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD.
and every buyer should see that
the "a trade mark is sewed on

run.
General Manager Mcleod, Of the
Reading r. r., visited New Hope some
days ago TO examine the railroad improve
ments at that place. We hear that he
was considerably dissatisfied with things
In general. He thought the station was
located too near to the street, so that in
coming trains are compelled to stand
across the street while unloading that
the water tank was in the wrong place,
that the side tracks were not well arrang-
ed and that the new freight station was
on the wrong side OF the track. He stop
ped work on that and nothing has been
done since on 1t. II they don't get to
work pretty soon, the masons will be
apt TO freeze their myers.
The Delaware Division Canal, mean
dering through Falls and Bristol town
ships, Is now 30 full Of grass that II
would seem almost impossible for load
ed boat to be dragged through 1t. And
but few loaded boats do go through it, the
great bulk OF the business passing out at
the outlet lock at New Hope, and going
over into the Delaware & Raritan Canal.
Once it was different but now the great
bulk OF trade goes by railroad. Forty or
fifty years ago, all the products OF the
Lehigh Valley, mineral and vegetable,
went through this canal to market-now
an occasional load of coal, or stone, or
wood, or lime. Some attribute the great
amount of grass in the canal to the way
1t is cleaned out. In old times the mud
and bars were cleaned out when the water
was out OF the canal, by men and wheel
barrows. Now the removal OF bars is
done In the summer by steam dredges,
and some water Is allowed to remain 10 II
all winter. - Enterprise.
