ures, and that she should be taken
very cautiously. A loving and an
gelic wife may, he thinks, be a trihe
exacting; and the cherubic infant
sometimes produces insomnia, men
tai unrest, and a condition generally
not suited to serious study and work.
We fear that the doctor is to some
extent right. The wife of a phys:-
clan has always a good deal to dis
turb her ideal both of. household
economy, domestic comfort, and
coanubial companionship. It re-
quires some patience and dero-
ton to accept all the Irregularities
and preoecupation of her husbands
life with equanimity. There has to
be some compromise, or friction re-
suits, and then work is difficult.
However, it does not do much good
to philosophize, for young doctors
fall in love like other mortals and
then reason and experience count for
but little.

Should Doctors Marry?

is being agitated over the: question
whether the doctor should marry.
A misgenic gentlemen, DR.. Oscar
McNullen, seems to think he should
not. This blow at the rights and oppor@
t~unties of woman is tempered with
the statement that the doctor does
not wish to "take one gem from the
iewelled crown Of pure and beaute-
Gus womanhood." He belongs to
"tbat majority who believe that OF

Wealth and Poverty.

Wealth gives happiness from a
human stand point. Those people
that posses stocks, bonds and real
estate are the ones that rules. Again
wealth does not make the man. He
may be poor and possess those things
that make q man. Lives have been
sacrificed for money. Instead of
wealth serving them they serve it.
Money is walking sticks. One will
help you along, but fifty on your
back breaks you down. What does
a man want with a pile of money
when he has to workhis life out ofhim
to make it and has to work twice
harder to keep it The happiest mar
in this world is the one that is con-
tented with his lot.
The poor are generally the happiest
They do not have so much care and
worry on their minds. What a pitt
full sight TO see in the city the streets
full of poor little children ragged
and cold; NO shoes to protect their

See again how beautifully Charles
Swain has expressed it:

And nothing to be won beyond?

And heavenly wealth a broken bond?

What Is Religion?

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
AS political matters has somewhat
abated, I will take up a subject OF
more Importance, and that is religion.
Scripture tells us that pure and I'LL.
deGled before God and the Father is
this: To visit the fatherless and
widows in. their Affections and. to
keep himself unspotted from the
world is religion. I have searched
the Scriptures from Genesis to Reve-
lation and that is the only verse that
tells what religion is; why then are
so many ways preached and practiced
called religion. Religion then is to
visit the fatherless and widows in
their Affections. Count uphow many
fatherless and widows just around
your homes. Do We visit them
when they are in need or sick,
if we do not we have no religion.
Besides, we are to keep ourselves I'M
spotted from the world. I am no
minister, neither am I stump sucker
but the way I understand the word
unspotted is. every sin We commit
is a spot. We should be careful and
try to keep off these spots. I fear
that there are many who not only
have a spotted but a speckled soul
Should this be the case, you have nc
religion. A man or woman that has
religion will not only show it a
church, but every day during the
week. I have known persons to so t
church for weeks and claim to b.
Christians, but, alas, when they &c
home no religion is there. Religion
that don't last only during meeting
isn't worth having. Some peopl
think just so we show u religion

won't do. We cannot serve two mas

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed: to be
incurable For a great many doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
scance has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

by F. J. Cheney& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is

always be ready to come into accord
with the opinions of his better half, for,
believe me, she will not tell you any
thing to your disadvantage. I will
agree with you, it is best for q man
to have wisdom enough of his own,
but if he has not and have asked the
opinions of his wife, would it not be
! the best to take the advice of an
average wife than a younger ones
Yes, it takes a shrewd shop keeper,
lawyer or any one else to get ahead

makes the gentlemen feel proud to
see the ladies that never get left.
Marriage is one of the most solemn
events this side of the grave, there
fore I say, Husbands, love your
wives, even as Christ loved the
Church" Man is the head of the
family, and he rules his wife by au-
thority and she rules him by love;
she ought by all mea please him,
and he must by ne means displease
her. Make the leap into matrimony
bravely and with a cheerful determi-
nation to be a credit to yourself and
a blessing to your partner, and never
mind the age. There is no greater
or more profound reality than love.
There is no nobler possession than
the love of another. There is NO
highe, gift from one human being to
another than love. The gift and the
possession are true sanctifers of life
and should be worn as precious jew
els With such love would we stop

My friend, you are right, a daily
exchange of confidence and mutual
respect for each others opinions will
do much toward making the wheels
of any domestic establishment run
smoothly. Confidence and mutual
respect are the most graceful accom-
PAYMENTS of courtship and should
never be forgotten in marriage. It
is not after marriage alone that mu-
eual confidence forms the surest
foundation of real and enduring af-.

Among the many persons long con-
nected with work among the Indians
few have been known more widely or
honored more highly than the two Sis
ters,, Misses Sue L. and Kate McBeth,
and the recent death Of the former has
come as personal loss to great many.
Of Scottish ancestry and training, Miss
McBeth was remarkable for her famil-
iarity with the Scriptures and her COM
prehension of the religious truth. But
scarcely less marked was her ability to
so present the truth us to make it plain
and pungent. She was of fragile and
delicate constitution, but her prodigious
energy enabled her to accomplish an
enormous amount of work.-Philadel-

Carlo early manifested love for watch
ing and chasing chickens--a pastime not
to be neglected with the small opportu-
mites Of the city. We soon, by kindness
and firInness and much talking, broke
him of disturbing our own chickens.
We often took little chick in our hands,
and said to him pretty chicky, Carlos
chicky" and allowed him to lick it
gently. Soon it was not only safe, but
safer to have him in the pen with the
chicks than otherwise, as then no rat or
mouse dared venture there. From the
first, Carlo has deemed these marauders
worthy of death whenever and where
ever seen and acts out his convictions.
AS the chickens grew their number was
reduced to IL, and these were transferred
to the barn.
Every night for two years Carlo made
detour of the perches, giving each fowl
good lick-they were so acquainted it
did not alarm them at all-and if one or
more of the number were absent he would
Immediately scour the premises until it
was found, then gave peculiar bark,
indicating the discovery, nor would he
give it up till the number was complete.
Could he count? How did he know there
should be just 12--no more, no less?-
