year of age he fell into languor,
during which he could not see water
without manifesting great outbursts
of passion, and, still more peculiar,
he could not bear to see his father

1927 he had paralysis from his waist
down, SO that he could not walk
without crutches. This condition
continued three months. During his
last hours he was taken with terrible

Celery For Rheumatism.

If celery were eaten freely, suffer
ers from rheumatism would be com
paratively few. 1t is a mistaken
idea that cold and damp produce
the disease-they simply develop it.
Acid blood is the primary and sus
tanning cause. If celery is eaten
largely, an alkaline blood is the re-
suit, and where this exists there
can be neither rheumatism nor
govt. 1t should be eaten cooked.

Words Of wisdom.

A thought never dies.
Old age thinks backwards.
Honesty is not contagious.
Matrimony is loves eye-opener.
The tears that come easy go easy.
Cupid is scarcely to be believed
on oath.
Riches have wings that flap the
other way only.
Gossip is the bullet in the gun of
idle curiosity.
The rose never tries to wear the
livery of the lily.
With some ofus hope nevor comes
to the full bloom.
Trust is the strongest link in the
chain of association.
Everybody would be perfect if
everybody else thought SO.
We may fill our lives with music
if we know what chords to touch.
You can boast of noble blood
when you are the nero OF NOBLE
deeds.
Let us talk only of what we have
done, and think of what we will do.
Love is the charm of life wher-
ever found, whether in cottage or
manson.
Don't worry about heaven if your
conscience tells you that you de-
serve it.
Faith overlooks the difficulties of
the way, and bends her eyes only
to the end.
Not one time in million are a
mans tears dishonest; what may be
said of woman's is different.
Give strict attention to little
things; watch closely the details,
even though they seem of no i'm

Honor the Dear oId Mother.

Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on her brow, plowed deep
burrows on her but is she
not sweet aud beautiful now3 The
lips which have kissed many a hot
tear from the childish check are the
sweetest lips in all the world
The eye is dim, jet it CLOVIS with
the rapt radiance of a holy love
which can never fade.
Oh, yes, she IS a dear old mother.
Her sands of time are nearly run
out, but feeble as she is they will go
farther and reach down lower for
you than any other on earth.
Yon cannot walk into midnight
where she cannot see you; Jon can
not enter prison whose bars shall
keep her out, yon can never mount
a scaffold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless jon.
In evidence of her deathless love
when the world shall despise and
forsake you-when it leaves you by
the wayside to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you up
in her feeble arms, carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues nm
til you almost forget that your soul
is disf1gured by vices.
Love her tenderly and cheer her
declining years with holy devotion.
