Wnen anything stands test of hfty
years among discriminating people like
me Americans. it is pretty good evidence
That there IL merit mewhere. The
value OF medicine Is best proved by its
continued use from year to year by the
same persons and families, as we'll as by
steady increasing sale. Few, il sny.
medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity ss has msrke d
tne introduction and progress of Bran
oreth's Pills. which. after a trial of over
nfty yeors. are conceded to be the safest
ana most effective purgstive and blood
purlner introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit. and
mat brandre,h's Pills actually perform all
that is CLAIM d for them. is conclusiyely
proved by the fact that those who regard
mem with the greatest favor are those
VINO have used them the longest.
Brandre'h's Pills are sold in svery
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.

Historical Bets on Hor,s R....

1t is quite probable that there are inc,
now no men who gamble quite SO heavily
except in stocks, as did the .'plungersn in
the early part of this century. There were
IN England dozen men who made $3.50
OoO books" on the Derby alone. and as late
as 1886 a bookmi ker bet $500, 900 to 81 OOf
against each of three horses in one race
In 1913 the owner of the Derby fayorite
backed him publicly to win $50 600. besides
the amount of his private bets. The RING
OF bookmakers paid to one circle of bettors
Sl,OO0,0 600 when Lecturer won the Cesare.
witch. The owner of more than one DERBY
winner collected $780, 900 on the next SET.
ting day. and in several other years would
have pocketed million if their colts had
been first past the post"
Most men who now have the money and
the nerve" to make such enormous bets
nave given mp horse racing in favor of a
game which has still higher possibilities.
and instead of wagering $500, 900 on a
horse and calling it gambling they deposit
the same amount as margin in a stock
speculation and call it business. Although
individuals do not lay such heavy wagers
as We're sometimes made by the "plungers,'
OF ola, much more money is wagered now
imam was risked fifty years ago. The diff
ference is that, while then one man bet
sloo,oOo, now ten men each bet $50 900. and
the total amount wagered is doubled. w

Beecher's First Sermon.

Mr.. Beecher came there during this visit
to teach for the first time through a vaca

school, he also preached his first sermon,
Evening service was being held in the lit.
tie, old school house where he taught, and
the villagers had requested Mr.. Beecher to
take charge Of it FOR that evening. At first
he was surprised, but he quickly collected
himself and consented to preach.
How well / remember the look of sur
prise, almost scorn, on some faces when he
this lad of seventeen-rose to address
them. Some thought it farce until he
began to speak. Then attention came lev
eled at him, and for nearly an hour scarcely
one in that audience moved in his seat.
The sermon was an earnest one-simple,
yet eloquent. Not once did he hesitate for
single word. Sentence followed sentence
as smoothly as if they were uttered by q
minister of long experience Never did he
in Plymouth pulpit or on any other plat
form hold an audience more fully under
his control, so thoroughly spellbound,
than in this his first effort.-Mrs. Beecher

White Men and Negroes MT Work.

That the negro has a soul for rhythm is
apparent even in his working hours. White
men do their work independently, each on
his own individual basis and with supreme
disregard of the rest. In laying the asphalt
pavement in Forty-eighth street gangs of
negroes and white men are employed in
stamping the top dressing down with
heavy iron disks, heated, and handled by
means of long wooden poles. The white
laborers do their work with a marked and
distinct individuality. The negroes, on
the other hand, seem to naturally divide
themselves into two companies, and the
disks fall responsibility on the asphalt as
the two lines of laborers advance and re-
treat 1t is apparently an unconscious fall
into rhythmic work, but is none the less
striking.-New York Sun
