BANKER MORRILL, is doomed by the

Prof. E. B. Smith of this city is
soon to be candidate for state SUPER
intendant of public instruction, before
the republican convention. The DEM
ocRAT has this to say of Prof. Smith,
that he is the best qualified of any
man thus spoken of by our friends
the enemy. Now if Morg. wants to
see Great Bend represented on his
state ticket he should "come off the
perch" and give man who holds the
respect and confidence of his entire
party in this county chance.

Another grateful mother is Mrs. Henry Fry, who resides at 4 Flint Place, South Boston, Mass. She too had a daughter who suffered terribly from St. Vitus Dance, an alarming nervous affection, but by the same marvellous remedy her child has also been restored to perfect health
 Here is what she says:
 My daughter, twelve years old, be- came affected with St. Vitus Dance I at once placed her under the care of physi- clans at the Boston Dispensary, where she was treated for three months. She grew worse until she entirely lost her speech, and the right arm became useless. l tried other remedies without benefit.
 "Finally 1 began the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and before finishing one bottle she could talk She has now used six bottles and she talks as we'll as ever, has perfect use of her arm, and is wonderfully improved in all respects.
 ''The effects of this wonderful medicine in her case has excited great interest in many neighbors and friends who are &C., quainted with the facts"
 With such evidence of the marvellous power to cure disease that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy pos- SeSSeS, no mOGner who regards the well fare of her child will hesitate for an in- stant to give it this great medicine. A cure is sure. The remedy can be got at the druggists and is purely vegetable and perfectly harmless to give to childred of any age. It is the prescription and dis covery of Dr. Greene, of 35 w. 14th St., New York, the eminent specialist in cur ing nervous and chronic diseases, who can be, consulted free in regard to any case, personally or by letter.

The Beautiful Child of Well-Known Lady. STARTLING AND ALARMING CONDITION SUD-
 DENLY DEvELoPED.-BEYoND ALL HOPE
 AND SKILL OF THE DOCTORS.
 The most beautiful and lovable thing on earth is a little child; is it any wonder that the heart aches hardest when the little one, the brightest star in the worlds ornaments, suffers in the grasp of ter rible disease.
 All can therefore understand the bitter and heartfelt grief of Mrs. H. H. Watson of 153 Bloomingdale St., Worcester, Mass, when her darling little four-year-old child, a child of most singular sweetness and beauty, was seized with severe and seri- ous nervous disease, and parents alone can appreciate the depth of her joy and thankfulness when the little idol of her heart was suddenly snatched back from the grave, as it were, after doctors and friends had given up all hope.
 We will let the happy mother tell the story.
 My little daughter, Ethel May, was terribly and alarmingly sick. She had twenty-six convulsions in two years. Her nerves were very weak, her appetite limbs would draw up, and she suffered, oh, so much She was as yellow as saffron and weak and delicate.
 "Our local doctors gave her up, saying she could not be cured.
 ''But thanks to a wonderful medicine she is now perfectly we'll and healthy. This remedy is Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and it has com pletely cured my little girl"

Not long ago the writer was in a country noted for it's healthfulness Ono of the men whose business it is to boom ducement:
 There was a man who lived in Hi nois who had consumption. He had $1O,000 life insurance which he had placed on his life before he became marked. The doctors told him he could not live six months; his friends encour- aged him the same way. He told them he did not think he would live that long, and that he did not care if he died the next day. He made sale of his life in- surance policy at seventy-hve cents on the dollar, and came here with $7 300 in money. He went to the cemetery here and bought lot, and got it mighty cheap, for there was never much de- mand for that sort of real estate in this vicinity.

Meaning of "SnOre."

''Snore," to breath hoarscly in sleep The word means more. Its root is in the Teutonic 'snar." which is the root of "snar." 70 srowl. It also means to grumble. It is an expression of disgust.
 An intimate acquaintance with Yankee idioms takes hold on the expression that is put forward at an unsavory report.
 "Well. l snore!" which simply means that the bearer is disgrlste;l and says he growls or snarls.
 Another curious expression of that peculiar people is Il snum!' simply a contraction of ''i m struck dumb" This latter has no connection with the subject in hand.

Scotland and the Thistle.

The thistle was selected as the national emblem of Scotland in the year 1910. It was during the reign of Malcolm that notable invasion of the country was made by the Danes. They came in thousands, and landing on the coast swar1ned over the inhabited districts like locusts, destroying, burning and plundering wherever they went. For safety the inhabitants fled to the castles and fortified towns, and among the most notable of the fortresses of Aberdeen shire was Staine's castle, where were collected large number of people of the neighborhood. The Danes projected surprise. Approaching the castle in the darkness they planned to scale its walls, and laid aside their shoes that the greater secrecy might be observed when drawing near to the Notifications.
 The surprise might have been success full had it not been for the fact that, on descending into the dry sloat, they found, to their great discontinue and modification, it was filled with missiles, by which their feet were so severely pricked that several made an outery, which aroused the defenders of the castle and brought them to the wall ill time to repel the onset. Regarding their good fortune in repelling the Danes as due to the thistles, these plants were immedi- ately placed i'll the arms of Scotland and adopted as the emblem of the country St. Louis Globe-Democrat. -.

Her caresses somehow made me feel strangely cold and nervous, and spoke more harshly than should have done had stopped to think. She rose quickly and passed into our bed chamber beyond, and as the portieres closed behind her feel ing of unutterable loneliness overcame me, my heart beat hard and fast and breathed with difficulty. It was all ab- surdity, of course. and when 1 had hesi tated bit and reasoned quickly buried myself in my paper and tried to forget the occurrence. But every few mo- ments the same strange unrest oppressed me, until finally threw aside the paper, and rising paced the floor, trying to drive off the feeling before l retired for the night. Perhaps 1 had been pacing up and down for an hour, or it may have been but ten minutes-it don't matter how long it was-when my attention was suddenly arrested by singular move ment of the portieres at our bedroom doorway, and 1 stopped short, unable, afraid to move an inch. Slowly the heavy draperiss moved as though some one was pushing them aside and passing through; then they closed as quietly as they had opened.
 ''The unaccountable thing filled me with terror, and 1 was about to spring forward and tear the curtains down when 1 was again transfxed by fear. The ponderous oaken door which led from our apartments into the public hallway swung slowly on it's hinges, as if some one were going out. Then came faint sound. like woman signing. and the door closed and latched itself. Nothing had been visible but the nov ing of the curtains and the door, and yet my soul was filled with nameless horror that 1 dared not dwell upon. Housing myself leaped forward, and tearing aside the portieres rushed to my wife's bedside. There she lay, her eyes closed and her pale face faintly illu1n- ined by the light that followed me through the doorway. seized her hand and strove to awaken her, but she did not move. In an agony of terror, bent my head and listened for the beating of her heart. Then clasping the limp form in my arms 1 pressed it to my bosom and called aloud her name:
 Gladys, Gladys, my Gladys! But there was no answer; she was gone. ."-George Percy Taggart in Jour- nalist.
