She Didn't Take With the
Gsentleanem.

She was refined. Intelligent, and not bad
looking. hut somehow she never seemed To
take with the gentlemen. They didn't like
her lisileSs ways; they said She hadn't any
'snap abont her. Poor girl She was
suffering from functional irregularities, and
it was actually impessihl for her 10 take
much interest in anythin. Bat u change
came. tine day she heard Of DR. Pierce :
Favorite Prescription She procured n
bottle, and She had not ,kcn hall its con
tents when She felt like another woman.
Now she is in the enjoyment of perfect health
aud has suitors by the Scoree. No woman
need suffer from functional irregularities
and weakness. The 'Favorite Prescription
is a safe and certain cure Tor all the weak
ness to which women are peculiarly subject.

This Is my twenty fifth anniversary

since assumed the Brooklyn pastorate.
A whole generation has passed. Three
generations We have known-that which
preceded our own. that which is now at
the front, and the one coming ON. We
are at the heels of our predecessors. and
our successors are at our heels What a
generation it was that preceded us! We
who are now i'll the front regiment are
the only ones competent To tell the new
generation just NOW coming III sight
who our predecessors Were. Biography
cannot tell it, Autobiography can
not tell il. Biographies are generally
written by special friends Of the depart
ed-perhaps by wife or SON or daughter
and they only tell the good things. The
biographers of one of the first presi-
dents of the United States make no rec
ord of the presidents account books,
now in the archives at the capitol,
which have seen. telling how much
he lost or gained daily at the gaming
table. The biographers of one of the
early secretaries of the United States
never described the scene that day wit
Messed when the secretary was carried
dead drunk from the state apartments
To his own home. Autobiography is
written by the man himself, and no one
would record for future times his own
weaknesses and moral deficits. Those
who keep diaries put down only things
that read we'll. No man or woman that
ever lived would dare to make full rec
ord of all the thoughts and words of d
| lifetime We who saw and heard much
of the generation marching just ahead
| of us are far more able than any book
10 describe accurately 10 our successors
who our predecessors We're. Very much
like ourselves. thank You. Human na-
turc i'll them very much like human ma
ture in us. At our time of life they Were
very much like we now are. At the
time they were in their teens they Were
very much like you are III your teens,

Gillian mission, the Atlanta Journal says :
There is nothing in the Gillian mission
for him that is comparable with the honor
which he enjoys in this country He is re-
garded by all true Democrats and by all en-
emies Of tariff oppression as the most gal
liant and the most effective champion Of fair
federal taxation who has appeared in Con-
gress in many years. Mr.. Wilson's removal
from Congress will not diminish his impOr-
lance or his influence as a leader in the con-
test for tariff reform and a champion Of the
good which, under his leadership, has al
ready been accomplished. We are glad
that Mr. Wilson did not go to Chill. He

tory Of a fair tariff is finally won aud fully
