Advice from an 1mpudent Source.

About this time of year the farmer
and his boys climb out Of bed about 4
o'clock in the morning and work until 8
at night The old party boss, the tool
of the men who gamble on the product
Of the farmer, dozes until in the morn
ing, then arises and puts on his morning
gown, has his coffee brought to him,
sips it at his leisure, then lolls back in
his chair, closes his eyes to think a mo-
ment, and then takes out his pencil to
write an editorial in the Republican
press, beginning: IF the Alliance
doesn't keep out of politics it will drive
capital out of the state. The farmers
should work harder and practice econ
omy." All farm organizations have
been listening to and following this ad-
vice for twenty years, and things have
gone worse with them all the time. Men
are now working for about half of what
they received twenty years ago. Is it
not high time to discard all advice from
the authors of our cal;mity?-
County Kan.) Statesman.
DR.. Edward Maynard, who died lately
in Washington, aged seventy-eight, was
q signal instance of how much work, and
important work too, q man may crowd
into u long life, and yet never have his
name in the newspapers. Dr.. Edward
Maynard began his career as a dentist
In 1888 he accomplished the feat of fill
ing the nerve cavity and nerve canals of
molar and bicuspid teeth with gold foil.
So far as known, this had never been
done before. DR.. Maynard introduced
the operation in Europe. The imperial
family of st. Petersburg employed him
at once us their dentist. The czar Of
fered him a fine salary and the rank of
major if he would stay in Russia per-
manently and relieve imperial toothache.
But Maynard, the plain American citi-
zen, refused Then Car Nicholas gave
him a splendid diamond ring.
DR.. Maynard returned to his country.
His inventive faculties then turned to-
ward firearms. He invented the metallic
cartridge shell, the Maynard rifle and
illuminate automatic priming. A pro-
cess devised by him enabled smoothbore
muskets to be changed into rifles The
king of Sweden gave him the Medal of
Merit, an honor of the highest grade in
that country, while the king of Prussia
made him a chevalier of the military
order.of the Red Eagle. But his own
oountrymen knew very little about him.

Gov. Nichols, OF Louisiana, as most
people know, has lost an arm and n
leg, but 20 deftly have the artificial
members been fitted To the stumps
that but few people are In the secret
OF his loss. His colored body servant
was left behind on the occasion OF his
last visit to Vicksburg. and they put
at his disposal during his stay there
likely young lad, who was told to try
and take the old body servants place.
That night, when Gov. Nichols was
ready TO retire. he stretched out one
OF his legs to Ned, the servant. and
raid: Ned, unscrew that leg" Ned's
eyes began to open with horror, bat
he obeyed and took the leg OF. Gov.
Nichols then said, calmly stretching
out an arm, Ned. unscrew that
arm" The boy rolled up his eyes
until nothing but the whites could be
seen, but he obeyed and unscrewed
the arm. The governor, who now
realized his condition Of mind, deter
mined TO have n little fun with him,
so, reaching out his neck. he said
Ned, unscrew that head" But the
boy never waited to see whether his
head woIld come OF or not, and no
one ever succeeded In getting him 10

said he was the worst "hoodoo" that

1t is an awful moment when the
soul begins to find that the props on
which it has blindly rested so long

gins to suspect them all; when It be-
gins TO feel the nothingness OF many
Of the traditionary opinions which
have been received with implicit con-
fidence. and in that horrible insecure
ty begins also to doubt whether there
be anything to believe at all. 1t is
An awful hour-let him who has
passed through il say how awful
when this life has lost its meaning
and seems shriveled into span; when
the grave appears to be the end OF

A FANATIC.

a young knight made his battle-cry,-
"I'll fight the evil till die!'
And forth he rushed with needless might
To do his battle for the right.
And recklessly he laid about,
And ruthlessly. and felt no doubt,
But blindly struck whate'er he saw
That seemed TO him 10 have flaw.
At length a doubt came TO his mind:
He paused, and turned. and looked behind
Alas. too late he understood
How deftly mingles Ill withgood.
With swimming eye, with reeling brain,
He saw the good that he had slain.
Himself seemed evil to him now,
And then he thought upon his vow.
And. 10, the warrior lay at rest.
With his own dagger in his breast

Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people In run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusiyely proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
