Everybody likes to get the most for
the money. The desire is quickest ac-
commodated by an investment of 2oc.
in bottle Of VOLTS Acme Backing.
Ask some of your neighbors if they
have not found more profit, comfort
and pleasure in a bottle of VOLTS
Acme Backing than in any other arti-
Gle they could obtain for like amount
1t is profitable because it preserves
leather it is comfort and pleasuregiv-
ing because it is easily applied and re.

There is young fellow up at Yale
University now who will" predicts a
Wall street man in the New York
Telegram" if he lives, become bill
ionaire. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., in
twenty-five years, if his father dies, will
have, in all probability, $500, 900, 900.
Although there is large family of
children, Cornelius, Jr., will get the
bulk of millions. In twenty five years
more he ought to be able, with this
tremendous capital, to make billion.
In fifty years the William X. Wander
bilt fortune ought to mass up a billion
if kept intact. Then if the country
keeps on increasing the number OF
millionaires will be pretty nearly 500,
600. Just think Of it. What tremend-
Gus aggregation of wealth we shall
have if the mighty millions keep up
the present pace for half century
more. AS fortunes 90 nowadays,
in fifty years the man who is
worth $Ioc, 300, 900 will not be con-
sidered particularly great alongside of
men who are worth a thousand times
that amount. | think the future
Cresus of the world will either be an
Astor or a Vanderbilt"

REFLECTIONS.

BY S. ]. SKEET.
The worst wolves to humanity are
those who cloak their misdeeds under
the honorable covering of good society
and religion.
They who love themselves the most
will sell their friends at any cost.
We should never cast scorn at per-
sons who conceive ideas differing from
our own until we prove them absurd.
One mind may grasp q subject correct
ly, and millions be at fault. We have
only to refer to many of our greatest
inventors. projectors and discoveries
to substantiate this.
Ignorance is the mother of supersti.
ton, and fear the slave. BY misce-
genation with the latter arrogance
and bigotry are born.
There are people so overcome
by suspicious jealousy, they
hear tornado in every sum-
mer sigh, believe every tongue
Of rancorous Islander for heavenly
truth-feel Egyptian night where
all Is sunshine and splendid-drink
the most deadly poison where hon
ey is given-and accept the honesty
Of God for cloak of treachery to fit
their own morbid minds and rabid
ideas.
The wise mans wealth is in his soul
Of honor, truth, and lore,
FOOLS wealth upon the dummies
hang,
At any clothing store.
An honest man may lose his home
and wealth.
But where:one falls by circumstan-
stances stealth.
A dozen thieves by bankrupt laws
are made.
"Best friends" are too often guided
by policy and self interest.
Generosity is prosperous bank
controll'd by honesty. II drawn
upon by Williams not entitled to its
funds Is it q wonder ii 1t closes Its
doors?
Ingratitude Is often caused by the
benefactor forcing the receiver to feel
as if eternal recompenses were in
sufficient to pay the debt; whereas, II
silence and respect were shown atGer
the generosity, the receivers heart
and principles would dictate the re.
turn q hundred fold. 3. J. SKEET

Soft the shades of eve were falling
And the moon in happy light,
Lit the grand blue vault of heaven,
Welcoming the night,
And the silvery beams of starlight
Delving through an autumn dream,
| Bathed their forms in melting beauty,
In each placid lake and stream.
And the russell trees, majestic,
Cast their shadows far around,
Like vast giants, stately resting,
On the brown leaf covered ground,
Fragrant air exotic's blending,
To the senses yielded balm,
While the silence Of the forest
Draped it in holy calm.
Mid the scene two lovers wandered,
Weaving tales of fervent love;
And the glories of the woodland
Seemed to them q bliss above. q,
Eyes with rapture softly melting,
In the mOonlight's tranquil rays,
Spoke of trusting love, amending,
And the joys of coming days.
Softly shades of eve are falling,
On their now declining years,
Sweet and tenderly enfolding,
All that honest life endears.
Now their lives are ripe and golden,
And fair honor's brightest beams,
Battle their souls in lustrous glory,
Lulling them to blissful dreams.
In the mirror of the future,
They again behold the light,
And the beauties when they wan
dered,
On that lovely autumn night.
Then amid green bowers roaming,
Eyes to eyes, and hand in hand,
Will their joys be never ending,
In that everlasting land.
