PRAYING FOR THE HORSES.

proceed straight to the stalls where some
of the choicest 1.-TWO for five" horses In
the market are kept. Choosing the most
unfortunate of all the poor beasts, she
clasped her arms about the animals neck
and kissed it's nose in the most affection
ate way.
"Poor, dear, horsy," she said as she
Rugged it's battered old head to her breast,
docs 90 have a hard time? I love you
so much. You are good little horsy,
aren't you? You must be good, and the
Lord will save your soul. Yes, yes; I'll
pray to him to save you'll" and with that
she dropped on her knees right there In the
stall and lifted up her voice in prayer. The
rubbers and the cappers and the other
hangers on laughed, and down at the 9TH
er end of the stable mule prayed, but the
woman kept on praying.
When she had finished her invocation
for the saving of the horses soul, she got
up and went into the next stall and start
ed the same thing over again. The stable
people were afraid some of the animals
would kick or bite her, and they forced
her to go away. She left without objection
and walked up Broadway until she got in
front of the Second district police court.
There were horse and buggy standing
there, and going up to the horse she put
her arms about it and kissed it on the face.
''Sing with me, horsy" she said as sho
drew hymnal from her pocket and held
it in front of the horses eyes, but no
sound came from the animal.
mo, you won't? Well, I'll save you
anyway" she went on and then started to
get into the buggy, presumably to drive
away to some horse convent, when just
then Officer Thompson showed up. He is
not a believer in the saving of horses
souls. He rather prefers to save personal
property to its rightful owner, SO he put
his big hands on the equine soul saver and
told her to come along.
"Oh, the DEVILS got me at last" tho
woman cried out to the crowd which gath
cred about her.
Il love this officer, but he Is working
for the devil. He won't let me save tho
soul of that poor dumb brute. But I'll
pray for him anyway. Let US all pray for
him and for ME, because he's going to
take me straight to hell'
While they were waiting for "the char
lot to hell, as she called it, otherwise the
hoodlum wagon, to arrive she drew from
her pocket some more hymnals and in
sisted on the crowd joining her In serv-
ice. They only laughed at her, and SO she
lifted up her voice all alone and sang.
When the wagon came, she was bundled
into it, blessing every one, particularly
the horses, whom she insisted had just as
fine variety Of souls as any one else.

SELF PRAISE.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit
person to tell the truth about himself
When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man will
douot his word. Now, to say that ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs are the only gen
uine and reliable porous plasters made is
not self praise in the slightest degree.
They have stood the test for over thirty
years, and in proof of their merits tits only
necessary to call attention to the cures
they have effected and to the voluntary
testimonials of those who have used them.
Beware of limitations. Ask for ALL
cocks, and let no solicitation induce you
to accept substitute.

port. He could catch fish, but he would
rather die than eat anything of the animal
world. When he has food at all, it usual
ly consists of pancakes made of -four and
water, with beans and potatoes.
He will not permit himself to drop a
hook and line overheard from his craft,
however tired of his ''plain food' he may
be. He says God will keep him alive, and
he certainly seems to have little besides
faith to depend on.
Smith is bachelor about 20 years old,
and for 30 years he has lived life almost
that of a hermit. He formerly ran a one
wheeled truck, which he pushed more
than g. 900 Mills about the state selling
religious books. He refuses to speak much
about his religious beliefs, but he clings
to the prediction of brother prophet that
San Francisco and Oakland are to sink,
and he thinks that some who are the Sc
lect will come to him and his rudderless
craft to be saved from the death that
awaits the wicked. He will not say that
he is a modern Noah, but he believes that
he has been inspired to live on the water
to avoid the destruction, and he is waiting
to save the chosen of the Order of Messiah.

HER MIRROR.
Japanese Story of Its Influence on a
Motherless Girl.

A Japanese story OF 1CS IHHuence oH q
Motherless Girl.
At Y. M. G.. A. hall Yeataso Okano,
a japanese, told the following story to
a large audiences:
"Once upon time there lived in
little hamlet in Japan young couple.
They had one child-a beautiful little
girl whom both loved very dearly. 1t
came to pass while the child was still
baby girl that the father was obliged to
take a long journey to the far distant
city. 1t was too far for him to take his
wife and child, so he left them at home
and travelled alone.
SIN that great city he saw many new
things which, having lived in the peace
full little hamlet up among the noun
tains all his life, he had never seen be-
fore. He desired to take home to his
wife some of these new things which
seemed to him so wonderful. And the
most wonderful gift he could take, it
seemed to him, was mirror. He wish
ed to take home to his wife the pleasure
and surprise he had experienced when
he first looked into mirror. So he took
one home to his wife,
"When he arrived home he gave the
present to his wife, and for the first
time she looked into mirror. What
do you see?' her husband asked. She
replied 4 declare! | see very pretty
woman. She wears her hair just as do
mine, and she smiles and moves her
lips as if she were talking to me-. Her
husband told her that the mirror was a
present for her, and he hoped she would
use it every day. But the wife thought
it far too beautiful and rare and costly
gift to use every day, SO she put it
carefully away and never spoke about it
to the little daughter, who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother ev-
cry day,
"By and by great misfortune fell
upon that little household. The wife
and mother fell sick, and it was soon
evident that she must die. AS she lay
upon her deathbed she called her little
daughter to her and told her that she
was going to lose her mother forever.
She could point to no future life after
death in which they should be reunited,
but in the love and simplicity of her
heart she did the best she could. She
told her little daughter about the Won
derful mirror. After 1 am dead, she
said, take down that box and look into
the mirror that it contains There you
will see my face. And want you to
look into the mirror every day, that you
may never forget your mother, and that
you may grow like me more and more
every day.
so the mother died. The little girl
did as she had been told, and in the
wonderful mirror she thought she saw
her mothers face, young and beautiful
not as she had seen her, pale and i'll
as she lay dying, but fair and fresh as
she had looked before the fatal illness.
And the little girl looked into the mir
ror every day and thought of her moth
er and her many lovely ways, and so it
came about that she grew to be more
and more like her mother as the years
went by. Rochester Post-Express

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
cams and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood. and if the blood is thin, impure
or insufficient, they are in state OF re-
volt. Their complaints are made to the
brain, the king of the body, through the
nervous system, and the result OF the
General dissatisfaction is what we call
Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable explana-
ton of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparil!a, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have the
healthful nourishment they crave. Ner-
yousness and Weakness will then give
wav to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact Is
proven by the voluntary statements OF
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
