ger, O1QcI, DdlQcI-ACdu- ed boys. Life is an interrogation point. "What Is it forf" we con- tinually cry from the cradle to the grave. So with this little introduc- tory sermon we turn and ask: What is AUGUST FLOWER FOR ?" As easily answered as asked: It is for Dys- pepsia. It is a special remedy for the Stomach and Liver. Nothing more than this; but this brimful. We believe August Flower cures Dyspepsia. We know it will. We have reasons for knowingit. Twenty years ago it started in a small country town. To-day it has an honored place in every city and country store, possesses one of the largest manu- featuring plants in the country and sells everywhere. Why IS this! The .s4,ou is as si..r1e as a clllld's thought. It is honest, does one thing, and does 1t right along-it cures Dyspepsia. z c. c. GREEN, Sole Maa'f, ,Weodbury,NJ

WHY THE TRAIN WAS LATE.
A Chapter OF Accidents in tho Case of
the New York Express.

Chapter OF Accidents in tho Case of
the New York Express.
A chapter of accidents would be an ap-
propriate title for the trip of the New
York express, which should have arrived
In this city at 10 o'clock last night, but
was SS minutes late.
Jerome Kennedy, the clothing mer-
chant, and George r. McAuslan were
among the passengers, and they related
the story OF the journey to their friends.
When the express went out OF the Grand
Central depot it was Immediately behind
snaiPs pace. For thirty miles the express
followed the freight, stopping whenever it
stopped and running at the same rate
whenever the freight got again into mo-
tion. There was sigh of relief breathed
bv the impatient and exasperated passen
gers when the freight at last switched off
fro the main track.
But this was not all that was to delay
the fast express. After running on for
hve miles a man was run over. The train
had progressed for some distance before
this was discovered. With muttered i'm
precautions by the p ssengers, who did not
know OF the accident, the express, now
turned into an accommodation, backed up
TO the scene Of the accident aud took in
the horribly mutilated remains of the un-
fortunate man whose name could not be
found out.
The train then began to try to make up
for lost time but another stop had to be
made for q hot box.
Several minor accidents tended to delay
the train but once away from the scenes
OF these accidents much OF the lost time
was made up and it came in, as was said.
3S minutes late.

Ex-Gov. Taft read a historical sketch Of

Following is a resume OF the sketch:
In the spring Of 1857, the first movement
toward establishing the association was
made. An informal meeting was held to
consider the subject. and subsequently
permanent organization was effected, and
Mrs. Sarah Fry Tobey was elected To the
Office OF president. At first large repre-
sen alton of forty from the Protestant
churches, and a standing committee OF
forty-nine comprised the executive board.
In few mouths separation was ef-
fectcd, and those who felt called upon
To do reformatory aud missionary
work, united to form the City Mission
airy Society. The Woman's Christian
Association, the word young" having
been dropped, continued TO work under
its Constitution, which had been accepted
on the 23d of April. After two years Mrs
Tobey resigned her position as president
and Miss Maria NJ. Benedict was chosen
20 take her place. In 1870 Mrs. John L.
she has continued TO hold for twenty-five
years. IL was in this year that the asso-
citation was Incorporated by an act Of the
General Assembly. For nearly five years
the establishing OF a boarding home on n
solid foundation was the chief work OF the
association. The first house for the pur-
pose was situated far up North Main
stre Z. Later house was secured in the
rear OF the Broadway Presbyterian
Church. After this house on
Aborn street was secured. In 1913
the present home OF the association, CO
Fountain street. was bought, and the
mortgage which was first put on 1t was
cleared by a gift of the late Henry L. Ken
dali Of $4,000. In 1878 the first move
rnent for a seaside home was begun, and
in 1854 the Mathewson street house, known
as the Branch Home, was purchased. The
North End branch was opened in 1889.
During this year the General Assembly
granted the association an amendment OF
It's charter, permitting IL TO resume the
hame by which it was originally known,
"The Young Woman's Christian Asso-
ciation."
Messrs. Rathbone Gardner and Benja-
min Lapham made brief remarks and DIR.
Moore also spoke. The meeting was then
dismissed and a collation. was served in
