HEEDLEss WonEMBS.-Work we'll done
brings its own reward When one has per-
formed piece of wors: to the best of his abil-
ity there comes consciousness of peace and
comfort, the happiness of which is felt for a
long time. But the needless or careless
worker sights his tasks and shirks hia duties
legitimately imposed upon him, comes up
with lame excuses and spends his lifetime
in feehle explanations in order to shield his
Incidence. Such man never enjoys self
satisfaction, and never gives satisfaction to
his employers. He limps and shuffles and
creeps through life. His brains-if he has
any, and he may have good des,-do not
save him and he degenerates rnally into
sort of an intellectual tramp borrowing
twenty-five cents from this one and dollar
from that one and ultimately sinking to a
plane not much above that of the street yag-
rant But if virtue is its own reward, vice
has its own punishment The very ease and
pleasure which It seeks becomes asting whose
venom is remorseless. A large proportion of
the inhabitants of the world consists of just
such class of people, who never once evince
the slightest interest in the work they arc
maid for doing-Amerioan Art Printer.

while little opportunities stand thick all
around them. The men who received
the great rewards were the men who
did lite things well. David was only a

herd boy, so be who had been faithful
in that which was least was made ruler
over many. How many say: If l

they cannot, and it is folly to look back
ward with vain regrets. Rather let US

afternoon by j. S. GARRISON. chairman

offered by Rev. Dr. William Brush,
chancellor of the Dakota university, at

that the national committee recon-
mended j. Sloat Fassett of New York,
for temporary chairman and he was
elected by acc amation. He made a
splendid speech as did Thomas B. Reed
Temporary organization was then per-
fected. Sewell, of New Jersey, offered
a resolution that the roll be called and

nounce members of committees selected
The convention adjourned till II to-
morrow.
The situation is a critical one both
candidates claiming majority of votes
on first ballot, Harrison by 476 and

the most interesting declaration is that

agreed upon Uncle Jerry Rusk for
nominee in case of a deadlock and CON-

Warm Weather Has Come Al

THE BEST SEASON OF THE YEAR TO
TREAT CHRONIC CATARRH.
understanding that great number
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past cold season, yet it can not be
denied that the cold, wet, backward
spring has retarded many cures, and in
some cases actually prevented cure.
But, after unusual delay, summer has
come at last, and now is the time for
all catarrh sufferers to begin a syste-
matte course of treatment for this
disease. The greatest difficulty in the
way of treating chronic catarrh is that
the patient is so liable to catch cold
durisg the treatment, and thus delay q
cure. This liability at this season of
the year is, in great measure, re-
moved, and no one should neglect the
opportunity to be given treatment.
The proper way to begin treatment
lot chronic cataTfn Is 10 lahe laDle-
spoonful of Pe-ru-na before each meal
and at bedtime This dose should be
increased so that in one month the
patient will be taking two tablespoon
fuls at each dose; at which time q re-
port of the case by letter should be
made to Dr. Hartman. Columbus, Ohio,
and he will advise further.
Every patient should have a copy of
The Family Physician No. 2. which is a
81 page pamphlet, giving a complete
description Of the cause, symptoms and
cure of chronic catarrh. Sent free to
any address.
