Iet Not Your Heart Be Troubled.

Sweetly floating down the centuries,
come to US the tender words: "Let
not your heart be troubled" Look
up, faint toiler In this work-day life,
and catch the music Of this senten Q
as it falls from hallowed lips: "Let
not your heart be troubled" Jesus
says it to you What loves leans on
His ia e! What tenderness. He
knowns how weak and frail you are.
He sees that the path is narrow and
rough. He sees that your feet are
bleeding as you press along through
the defle of poverty. He sees the
parched lips, He hears the tremulous
Sigh, and He knows it is for love of
Him, il indeed you are trying to fol-
low in HIS way. LET not your heart
be troubled" The path of life Is
short 10 you tread on thorns?
Each step makes the way, shorter;
each day you are nearer laying the
burden down. 'Let not your heart
be troubled" You are going home.
The care and toll and want OF COM
fort will all be forgotten as soon as
you rea h your Fathers house. No
more inconsistencies; no more reaching
out of sympathy; no more weary.
lonely hours. Let not your heart
be troubled" "Where l am there
shall ye be also" Look forward.
Thy furnace-heats will die away; the
tests will all be tried; the gold will
appear. Have you lost friends? He
wishes to be the beloved OF your
heart Have you lost wealth? 1t is
that He may support you entirely.
Are you sick? He is the physician.
Are you a helpless widow? Thy
Maker is thy husband. Are you bereft
of earthly kindred? Jesus is your
elder brother. Do you suffer? Lean
upon him; He carries in His bosom
those who are too feeble TO walk by
the way. How tender is H~&@love!
'.As one whom his mother comfor-
teth, 30 will 1 comfort you" Rest
upon Jesus.

Gods Opportunity.

w nay M
1t hardly seems ible sometimes
that our seyerest give God the
best chance in thr world to show
what He can do for us. There are
very few times, indeed, that we can
understand this or appreciate what
God is able to do or is about to do. A
man said recently, who had been
thr ugh the furnace CT trial, II never
understood before how great God ID
nor how strong HIS arm" 1t is wise
for Us to ! ok back, after going
through the fire. and see Just how
great, how strong, God has been to
deliver and to help when all ether
help has failed.
A little child was greatly worried
at seeing his mother cry one day, and
said, mamma, / do not see why yol
cry so much today" and her answer
was, You darling child, how little
you know that we haven't a mouth
full to eat in the house" The little
one, with an earnest upturned face,
said, "You said God was pretty big,
mamma. / should think He would
have plenty" And He did have
plenty for that time Of need. for this
gery reminder brought the promises
10 the mind OF this one of Gods chill
aren who was In great distress She
prayed earnestly With new faith, and
her prayer was answered before the

every thing else, q first class Irvine costs
something, and our prices, without attempting
to compete with mills using an inferior stock

An alarm of fire about o'clock Friday
evening brought out the Department in good
time, ,bnt fortunately their services were not
needed, as the flames were extinguished be-
fore they reached the scene of the fire, which
was in the Touring mill of Trotter& Gamble.
The flames caught in the roof, probably from
sparks contained in the large quantity of
SCOT emitted from their smokestack during
the afternoon. Had it not been that the
company was equipped with hose through
out their building the damage might have
been very much greater. AS it is few dol
lars will cover the loss.
The home of VIM. Luff, on South Prospect
street, narrowly escaped destruction last eve
ming, about $50. Someone was filling a
lighted gasoline stove, when the treacherous
fluid became ignited. Will Brigham, who
fortunately was at his home a few doors
north, hurried to the scene of the fire, and
by prompt action extinguished it before the
Department arrived, althoughin doing so he
burned one of his hands severely. Mrs.
Luff was just recovering from confinement
about two weeks ago.

Eucrasy-The Popular Cure for the
Drink Habit.


Drink Habit.
Whether the periodical or continuous use
of alcoholic stimulants be an acquired or
hereditary C. habit" appetite or disease, the
results are the same-nervousness loss of
appetite for food, inability to sleep, impaired
health, a shorter life and a loss of time and
money. All these conditions and results can
be changed by taking Eucrasy, which has
permanently cured hundreds in Cleveland
and vicinity during the last eight years. It
is medicine and is taken at home, and from
the first dose it invigorates and strengthens
the nerves and stomach, producing restful
sleep and healthy appetite.
1t is perfectly harmless to either mind or
body and wholly eradicates all desire for
" drink" in day or two, and entirely cures
the disease in eight to ten weeks.
There is no loss of time in taking the rem
edy, and no publicity of the fact, as all in.

tial.
The offices of the Northern Ohio Eucrasy
Co., are at 355 & 337 The Arcade, Cleveland
Correspondence should be addressed to the

County Treasurer Evans turned over his
Office to Treasurer Garrison Monday, and is
now enjoying the liberty of the honorable
discharge" that places him on the retired
list. But his retirement is due solely to the
statutes of Ohio, which forbid third term
to any incumbent of this office, otherwise we
are confident his republican brethren would
have renominated him by acclamation, for
more efficient, gentlemanly and courteous
official never entered the portals of the Por-
tage Co. Court House. On every hand are
heard expressions of regret because of the
legal impossibility for him to longer remain
in office, for the people like John H. Evans,
and for good reasons. We can best express
1t, perhaps, by saying that he was amiably
faithful in the execution of his trust And
while he is thus highly esteemed as an official
he is no less so as citizen, and we are pleased
to know that he will remain with us at least
until next spring, and 1--WE say it in conf
-dence) that we have his promise to become
permanent citizen of Ravenna if suitable
business opening presents itself. A more
genuine sentiment was never expressed by
the people than the hope, everywhere prev
alent, that the opening may come, for such
men as j. H. Evans are invaluable members
of any community.

A LESSON FOR THE RICH AND THE
POOR.

One of the many admirable social con-
ditions in this republic is the absence of
class distinctions. No man is born great
in the United States no man inherits a
right to rule other men no man is barred
BY law or social usage from the highest
positions in politics, in professional life,
or in any other career. We have no fixed
class Of the rich or the poor, for the poor
gain riches and the rich become poor.
The story of H. A. W. Tabor, Of Colo
RADIO, who ciimed from extreme poverty
to almost fabulous wealth and has now
fallen back into the ranks of the poor, is
both interesting and instructive. Tabor
was born and grew up in New England,
learning the trade Of a stone. cutter. With
thousands Of other New Englanders he
migrated to Kansas when that state, then
in embryonic form, was "beeding" He

SUGAR.
are thrOng ged

The republican party created the sugar
trust. The republican party, to enrich
the sugar trust, admitted raw sugar free
of tax. Nobody but the sugar trust uses
raw sugar The republican party, to
further enrich the sugar trust, put duty
of sixty cents on the hundred pounds
The people use refined sugar The peo
pie paid the tax of sixty cents on the
hundred pounds to the sugar trust
THE RESULT-The sugar trust m ,de
out of the people over $50 100000 The
republican party paid bounty amount
ing in one year to over $12,O0O,OOO to the
raw sugar producers in this country
They paid no bounty to the cotton grower,
to the tobacco grower, to the VIII at
grower, to the corn grower.
The democratic party repealed the
bounty. 1t saved to the national govern
ment more than $12, 900, 600 year. The
democratic party put tax on raw sugar
1t reduced the tax on refined sugar, and
the sugar trust gets twenty one cents Of
protection from the democratic law as
against sixty cents under the republican
law. The government saves $4,000, 900
in bounty and receives $3O,OOO,OO on raw
sugar. The balance in favor of the gov
ernment is thus $42 100000
Observation-Disclosures sugar is
thirty one cents cheaper on the hundred
under republican law.
