What blessed thing is memOryi
How it brings up the pleasures of the
past, and hides its unpleasantness
You recall your childhood days, do
you not, and wish they would returns
You remember the pleasant aSsocia-
tions, while the unpleasant ones are
forgotten. Perhaps to your mind
comes the face of some friend. 1t
was once a pale, sad face. 1t showed
marks of pain, lines of care. 1t
seemed to be looking into the here
after, the unknown future. And
then you recalled how it frightened,
how it recovered its rosy hue, how
it became a picture of happiness
and JOY. Do you remember these
things? Many people do, and gladly
tell how the health returned, how
happiness came back, how the world
seemed bright. They tell how they
were once weak, nervelesS, perhaps
in pain, certainly unhappy. They
tell of sleepless nights, restless days,
untouched food, unstrung nerves.
And then they tell how they became
happy, healthy and strong once more.
You have heard it often in the past,
have you not? You have heard peo-
pie describe how theywere cured and
kept in health? You certainly can re-
member what it is that has so helped
people in America. If not, listen to
what Mrs. Annie JennesS Miller, who
is known universally as the great
dress reformer, says: Six years ago,
when suffering from mental care and
overwork, / received the most pro-
nOunced benefit from the use of that
great medicine, Warmers Safe Cure"
All, now you remember. Now you re-
call how many people you have heard
say this same thing. Now you recol-
lect how much you have heard of
this great Cure. Now you are ready
to admit that memory is usually
pleasing, that the highest pleasure
comes from perfect health, and that
this great remedy has done more to
produce and prolong health than any
other discovery ever known in the
entire history of the whole world.

She knows them not nor has she need of them;

The Best Investment.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment in another column Of the home in-
vestments proposed by the Topeka
Cooperative Building and Loan Associ-
alton. To those who are mortgaged,
paying high rates Of interest or rent,
this association offers relief from the
grasp of the exscting landlord. Phila-
dslphia, the "city Of homes" has been
largely built on this plan OF small
monthly savings invested with some
building and loan association.
Why pay rent if the same amount in
vested on this plan would purchase q
home by monthly installmentsS By this
plan, thousands of dollars now sent
abroad in rents and interest could be
kept at home for the benefit Of yourself,
your neighbor and the state at large.
''The Topeka" is purely cooperative and
mutual in it's plan, and is officered by
careful business men, who are devoting
much time to the upbuildipg of the ssso-
citation, and it's success is already as
sured. Send for circulars and investi-
gate,

While they are good and are doing a
mighty work, yet they might be made
better, and they would do a mightier
work il the speakers gave more attention
to what might be termed the "science OF
speech.making." That there is science
in making q speech will not be ques-
toned by any successful speaker, nor by
any person who has tried to make
speeches and failed. And this suggests
another and very important point. There
are persons who cannot make speech,
although they have, in many instances,
much clearer ideas and better general in
formation on the questions uppermost In
mems minds than many successful
speakers. These persons are needed on
the rostrum and the stump; they can do
a great deal Of good il they will take
such q course OF study as will enable
them to tell others what they know, and
why they know it.
To all such, as we'll ss to the success
full speakers who wish to improve the
character of their speeches, we would
recommend q book by VIM. Pittenger
entitled, Extempore Speech" from the
press Of the Pennsylvania Publishing
Company, Philadelphia, Pa. Mr.. Pitten-
ger has formulated the whole matter in
very simple form, yet it is clear and
thorough in every detail, from the prep
sration Of the speaker to preparation
and delivery of the speech. He gives
many helpful hints upon the Construc-
ton Of outlines, and his language is
plain and yet exact and comprehensive.
In short, the book is a very good illustra-
ton OF it's own maxims, clear definition,
logical division of the subject, and
proper classification CT material.

BOOK REVIEWS,

filed with rare combination OF inter
ests. It holds the mind with charm
ing portrayal Of very interesting
experiences Of distinctively human char
acters, and at the same time leaves q re-
riarkably vivid impression of the right
and wrong, the good and bad, the just
and unjust elements Of both sides Of the
labor problem. Young Grseme is 9
Knight Of Labor Of the highest type and
views the organization and the whole
labor movement from q plane where the
distinctly self-interest is merged into o
noble conception Of humsnitys interest.
In his lecture on Modern Miracles" he
makes q very convincing argument for
universal cooperation, and his whole life
is q winning appeal for more OF justice
and love in our social and industrial sys-
tenn. There is 30 much OF pathos and
sympathy throughout the whole story
that the reader is unoonsciousy dis
armed Of all weapons for attacking the
logic OF the authors plea. The dis
tinotively labor woof is SO skillfully in
terwoven with the warp of truly novel
plots and unexpected denouements
that it seems insufficient to characterize
it 90 q "lsbor" story. Altogether the
book is calculated to fill the place Of
light reading and yet will inevitably
leave lasting imprint on the sympathy
and reason of even thoughtless persons.
The National Temperance Society and
Publication House, So Reade street,
New York, 10 driving many nails into the
coffin Of the liquor saloon. Some Of the
best Of their recent publications are the
following:
Temperance Shot and Shell" very
valuable compilation Of terse statements
on the liquor question from several hun
dred Of the worlds most eminent men in
every walk of life. It will be of great
assistance to all enemies Of king alcohol.
"Tslmsge on Rum" neat little vol
ume Of the great divine's best sermons
and lectures, in which he so eloquently
denounces the drink traffic.
1.-THE Temperance Platform" giving q
very good selection Of reoitations and
orations on total abstinence and prohi-
bition.
"The Captains Bargain" by Julia Nc
Nair Wright, a bright and interesting
story from which every reader can draw
many helpful lessons on the evils Of mod
crate drinking.
To impress the great truths that form
the basis of our cause upon the minds OF
the people who must be depended upon
to express these principles in the life OF
the social organism requiles different
mediums. Some will better understand
q logical argument on the principles
themselves, some will see more clearly
from q statement of facts illustrating the
tendency Of the principles and the evils
Of ignoring them, while still others will
be led to feel their Importance only
through the bitter channels Of personal
experience. Then, too, some can better
comprehend a printed page, while Others
will be carried along the stream Of elo-
quence and will find the haven Of convio-
ton more readily il piloted by skillful
speaker. The printed page is being very
literally supplied, as is also the stream
OF speech, but there is q great oppOrtun-
