A HIGH TRIBUTE.
A Cincinnati Business Man Praises
Pink Pills.
From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer

From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
A wellknown and popular citizen of the
east end of Cincinnati is Robert Nimmo,
who for the past nine years has been the
general manager of the Gholson Fence Com
pany Mr.. Nimmo lives at "a East Fourth
Street with his wife and family He is a
man of force of character and is an expert
in poultry foods, having devoted considera-
BILE attention to that subject.
A few months ago the many friends Of
Mr.. Nimmo were seriously alarmed about
his health. Mr.. Nimmo tells an interesting
story in connection with his illness that may
prove beneficial to others who are suffering
from nervous and stomach troubles. He
said:
Last October caught a severe cold. 1t
brought on dyspepsia and had violent fits
of coughing. My stomach became badly
disordered, and to add to my trouble, was
SO nervous that l could do nothing, and not
only was afraid that would be compelled
to give up business, but that l would not
live long. Several remedies were suggested
to me and / tried three or four, but they
didn't help me particle. Some one called
my attention to DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. | bought box of them
and commenced to improve almost i'm
mediately. They not only drove away the
feeling of misery in my stomach, but toned
| my system to such an extent that am now
| a well man. Recently, however, l have not
felt well, and l told my wife to-day that
would buy four more boxes of the Pink Pills,
that they had cured me before and that they
were good thing to have in the house in
case of sickness. | can recommend these
Pink Pills in the highest terms. Some of
the things l took when l contracted the cold
seemed to do me good for day or two, but
the effect was not lasting. The benefit de-
/ rived from the Pink Pills was permanent.
! | deem it a privilege and duty to pay trib-
ute to the excellent qualities of DR.. Will
! liams' Pink Pills. They did me so much
good that others ought to try them. l am
| fifty eight years of age, was born in Canada,
and have resided in Cincinnati for about
fourteen years.
He is one of thousands in this city who can
testify that Pink Pills have given them new
life and strength whether suffering from
nervous or stomach disorders.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
an unfailing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv-
Gus headache, the after effects Of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexion, all forms of weakness
either in male or female, and all diseases
resulting from vitiated humors in the blood.

ne Str ~ sfways to Express Himself In
Plain English.
The following account of Lincolnf
early struggle for mastery of thought
told in his own language, may be o;
use to many young people. 1t gives
the secret of the power of his simple
style. In 1860 Mr. Lincoln delivered o
campaign address in Norwich, Conn
Kew. John CULVER, late of Andove1
Seminary, said that he learned more
OF the art of public speaking in listen
ing to that speech than he could have
learned from a whole course of lectures
on rhetoric. He was so much interested
IN the mastery address that he asked
Mr.. Lincoln later where he was edu'
Gated. We give the reply in Mr.. Lin
coins own words:
Well, as to education, the news
papers are correct l never went to
school more than six months in my
life. can say this, that among my
earliest recollections / remember how,
when mere child, used to get irri-
tated when anybody talked to me in a
way could not understand. do not
think l ever got angry at anything
else in my life; but that always dis
turbed my temper, and has ever since.
Il can remember going to my little
bedroom, after hearing the neigh bors
talk of an evening with my father,
and spending no small part of the
8 n ant walking up and down, and try
ing to make out what was the exact
meaning of some of their, to me, dark
sayings.
II could not sleep, although l tried
to, when l got on such hunt for an
idea, until / had caught it; and when
l thought l had got it, was not salts
fed until l had repeated it over and
over; until had put it in language
plain enough, as l thought, for any
boy knew to comprehend. This was
kind of passion with me, and it has
stuck by me; for l am never easy now,
when | am handling thought, till
have bounded it north, and bounded it
south, and bounded it east, and bound
ed it west.
But your question reminds me of a
bit of education which / am bound in
honesty to mention. In the course of
my law reading constantly came upon
the word demonstrate. l thought, at
! first, that l understood it's meaning,
but soon became satisfied that l did
not. l said to myself: What do
mean when l demonstrate, more than
when l reason or prove"
II consulted Webster's dictionary.
That told of certain proof proof be-
yond the possibility of doubt but l
could form no idea what sort of proof
that was. l thought great many
things were proved beyond the posi-
bility of doubt, without recourse to
any such reasoning as l understood
demonstration to be.
II consulted all the dictionaries and
books of reference l could find, but
with no better results. You might as
well have defined blue to a blind man.
At last l said: Lincoln, you can never
make lawyer if you do not under
stand what demonstrate means;' and
left my situation in Springfield, went
home to my fathers house, and stayed
there until l could give any PROPOSE
ton in the six books of Euclid at sight
1 then found out what demonstrate
meant, and went back to my law
studies. Youths Companion.

THE CORN IN THE GREEN.
Pretty Bit of Sentiment Drawn from
Its Delicate Tint.

Pretty Bit of Sentiment Drawn from
Its Delicate Tint.
Pure color almost always gives the
Idea of fire, or rather it is, perhaps, as
If light shone through as well as the
color itself. The fresh green blade of
corn is like this-so pellucid, so clear,
and pure in its green as to seem to
shine with color. It is not brilliant
not a surface CLEAN nor an enamel-it
is stained through. Besides the moist
clods the slender flags arise, filed with
the sweetness of the earth. Out of the
darkness under-that darkness which
knows no day save when the plowshare
opens its chinks-they have come to
the light. To the light they have
brought color which will attract the
sunbeams from now till harvest. They
fall more pleasantly on the corn, toned,
as if they mingled with it.
Seldom do we realize that the world
is practically no thicker to us than the
print of our footsteps on the path.
Upon that surface we walk and act our
comedy of life, and what is beneath is
nothing to us. Bat it is out from that
under world, from the dead and the
unknown, from the cold, moist ground
that these green blades have sprung.
Yonder steam pillow pants up the hill,
groaning with its own strength, yet all
that strength and might of wheels, and
piston, and chains cannot drag from
the earth one single blade like these.
Force cannot make it; it must grow
IN easy word to speak or write; in
TACT, full of potency. - The late
Richard Jeffries, in Longman's Maya
yina

According to southern correspon-
dent, a great, gaunt, colored man
entered the express office in a small
town and asked if there had been any
thing received for George Washington.
The clerk gave him a knowing look,
and said, sharply: "What game are you
trying to work on me? Washington
died long ago. This is companion to
the story of the congressman who be-
gan an address by saying: "As Daniel
Webster says in his great dictionary"

ary," whispered member at the next
desk. "Noah?" replied the speaker,
contemptuously. "Nonsensel Noah

A Habit That Helps to Smooth the Pat
of Life.

A Habit That Helps to Smooth the Path
of Life.
The habit of being courteous under
all circumstances to those with whom
one is thrown is always a wonderful
advantage to a man or woman. 1t SO
smooths the way for one. 1t makes
the machinery by which society moves
run so evenly, without jars and wear
ing friction. 1t helps one to accomp
lish his work with so much more ease,
by making those with whom he has to
deal eager and willing to help him In
whatever way they can.
There is the greatest difference in
the way people GO about their BUSH
ness One man is anxious and wor-
ried, and resolved to accomplish every
thing he attempts, and he forgets that
those about him also have their work
to do, and treats them with scant
courtesy.
1t is not because he means to be dis
agreeable or does not care whether he
is disagreeable or not. 1t is simply
that it does not occur to him that there
is necessity to be courteous in business.
1t is well enough TO be polite after bust
ness hours, but during them he has no
time to waste. 1t follows that this
person is continually having little tilts
with the people he meets. Men do not
move quickly enough for him, or some
bodys clerk overlocks him, and takes
up the business of another when his
should have had the precedence. He
frets and fumes. His attitude is an.
tagonistic, and those who meet him
quickly feel it, and are themselves inn
mediately put upon the defensive.
This. of course, does not tend to make
his business transactions run as
smoothly as they might, and things
act into the wav of going wrong -
