Everyone would live to be a hundred If
they only took more pains in selecting
what they eat. There is no wealth but
life. That country is rich which nourishes
the greatest number of human beings
That man is the richest who perfects the
functions of his own life to the utmost.
Health is mans birthright. 1t is as natural
TO be well as to be born. All diseases and
all tendencies to disease are the result of
eating food never intended for the human
family. A break down in health is caused
more bv errors in diet than all other causes
mt together. Errors in diet are of two
general classes. First, the use Of food
1nsuited to the organism; second, the par
taking of food in quantities greatly In ex-
cess of the needs of the system. 1t 10 .
eIl-known fact that nine-tenths of the
people in this country are suffering from
sonne unknown complaint or disease. Now
what eauses this trouble? Is it caused by
the lack of some nourishment in the food
that we use . For an illustration: It was
intended by nature that your teeth should
| last as long as your life, but to the CON.
trary we find the nine-tenths of the people

life is spent, and when you lose your teeth

We notice that some one is call
ing on ex-Gov. Hampton to COM
mence organizing democratic clubs
in the State.
We sincerely hope he will have
nothing to do with that move. The
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, as now organized, is any
thing but kindly disposed toward
Gov. Hampton, with Senator Irby,
an avowed and bitter opponent of
Hampton, at its head, and it must
be plain to any one with a shadow
of political foresight that any ac-
ton taken by Hampton to form
democratic clubs will be hailed
with delight by the Irby or populist
faction. 1t would be branded as an
effort to form q party outside the
organized democratic party in the
State, an encroachment upon the
prerogative of the Executive Com
mittee, and surely give them the
best weapon to prevent any move
ment that would be likely to heal
the breaches, restore harmony and
insure united action in the ranks of
] the true edemocracy.--Union Times,

A Pathetic Leave-Taking.

minister took permanent leave of
his congregation with the following
remarks: Brothers and sisters, I

because none of you ever die. I
don't think you love each other

Gobblers, RoOSt High!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Presi-
dent to-day issued the following
proclamation:
By the President of the United
States of America. A Procla-
nation.
While the American people
should every day remember with
praise and thanksgiving the divine
goodness and mercy which have
followed them since their begin
ming as nation, it is fitting that
one day in each year should be
especially devoted to the contem-
plation of the blessing we have re-
ceived from the hand of God and
to the grateful acknowledgement
of His loving kindness.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, dc
hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the 30th day of the
present month of November, as &
day of thanksgiving and praise te
be kept and observed by all the
people Of our land. On that day
let us forego our ordinary worl
and employments and assemble ii
our usual places of worship where
we may recall all that God hal
done for us and where from CRATE
full hearts our united tribute o
praise and song may reach tn
throne of grace. Let the reunion
of kindred and of friends leut
cheer and enjoyment to the dut,.
and let the generous gifts o
charity for the relief of the poo
and needy prove the sincerity o
our thanksgiving.

SHELDON'S GREAT SHOT.
So Extraordinary that He Was
Satisfied to Stop Hunting.

New York Sun.
"My friend. Jim Sheldon Of
Cooper City, on the Pecos River.
New Mexico" said a former ranch
man of that region, 'never went
hunting but once in his life, but
be had a great day of it the time
he did 60. There were a number
of elk hanging around in that
vicinity, and Jim got it in, his
head that he wanted some elk
meat. I don't know whether he
wanted elk meat because cheeky
she grizzly bear, with three cubs,
had been playing hob with his
stock of beef cattle for a couple of
weeks and he felt as if he couldn't
afford to eat beef. or whether he
wanted elk meat just for the fun
of getting it. Anyhow, he mounted
a burro one day and started out
after all elk. He got on the track
of one and thinking he could
sneak up on it and get a shot at it
surer by going on foot than he could
by riding he dismounted and let
the burro take care of itself. The
contrary little cuss went right on
ahead of Jim. and wouldn't come
back. In less than five minutes
he was out of signt.
eff you never saw a burro when
he's scared you've missed a sight.
1t isn't SO much the sight of him,
either, 'that's SO funny, although
that's funny enough to get him
seven curtain calls. Its's the
hearing of him that's the side
splitting part of scared burro.
But it isn't often that a burro IS
scared. When he is up goes his
tail, his ears, and his bristly
mare. His eyes bulge, and he
tries to run in every direction at
once. His utterances are what
knock you though. They are not
loud, but mournful, and come in
sudden spurts, for all the world
like the queer noisesa couple of
deaf mutes make when in earnest

Commenting on the frequent
lynchings of negroes for the 'usual
crime," the Birmingham Age
Herald says:
"These negroes are not the better
class Of their race. but are escaped
convicts, tramps, thieves, etc.,
and are ostracised by their own
people. Hence we often read that
there were a number of colored
men in the mob that did the lynch
ing. The way to eradicate an
evil is to strike at the root. These
vagabonds should be dealt with
before they have a chance to
commit crime. All towns and
communities should adopt the
same laws that prevail in Birming-
ham. The police of this city ar
rest man who cannot show any
visible means of support. These
vagrants are either put on the
streets or sent to Jail. By strictly
enforcing this rule much crime is
prevented" is a good rule, and
it's far more necessary in the
country than in the towns. The
vagrants require to be looked
after more sharply than ever ba-
fore. 1t is better to put them tc
work iii or out of prison than tc
lynch them.

to 60 on and see. The burro didn't
go with him, but struck a bee line
for home and that was five miles
away. Jim sneaked along down
the river for a quarter of mile or
more, and then rounded a sharp
bend. The instant he got around
that bend he squatted, for more
than 100 yards ahead of him stood
a grizzly bear, and stumbling in
the grass near her were three cubs.
"The blasted brute that's been

and pulled up to give her the

lay on the ground giving her last
kick. The elk had dropped in his
tracks and lay there as stiff and
motionless as if he had been 8

For THE THOUGHTFUL

SELECTED.
God will forgive your SINS, but
he expects you to pay your debts
No body needs your prayers any
more than the people you do not
like.
The more we do to help others,
the lighter our own burdens will
become.
God has no use for people who
have no business of their own to
attend to.
The yoke of God is the only
yoke God ever made for the hu-
man neck.
No matter where the DEVILS mud
strikes a true Christian, it bears a
bright spot.
When the clouds are the blacklist
God is often preparing to give us
the rainbow.
The bigger the house built on a
poor foundation, the bigger the fool
who builds it.
If you want Gods fire to burn
everywhere, see that it does not so
out in your own heart.
When Frederick the Great. Of
Prussia, was ridiculing Christ and
Christianity before company of
his mobiles and generals, who were

Won Zutar one of the ablest and
bravest generals there. Rising at

solemnly he said to the King:
"Your majesty knows well, that in
war I never feared any danger, and
everywhere I have boldly risked
MY life for you and my, country.

Kansas 10 an immense State, and
a State of farms. Agriculture is
the dominant industry there, and
the limited rainfall and absence

to the selection of such
crops as need the least

sorghum became staple crops be-
cause of their capacity to flourish
in the dry land of Kansas. Of
these of course sorghum would
become the great money crop if

theoretical success. To reach this
end the Department of Agriculture
has been experimenting number
of years, and while the goal has
not been reached, the expected

have not been erected in Kansas,
and Kansas is not furnishing
hundreds or thousands of tons of
sugar to her sister States, yet the
possibility of all this exists: we

probability of it exists, and that
