THE GUNMAKER OF ILION
Je fferson M. Clough Refuses a Tempting Offer from the Chi-
 nese Government.
Ella Health Was Too Poor to Permit Att tentIon to Business-A Great Sufferer for Many Years, But Has Now
 
tFron ne Springaeld, Mass Unton)

tFroua ns Springfield, Mass UHton.)
 There isn't a gun manufacturer in the United States who does not know Jefferson NJ. Clough, and whyi Because he has been intimately associated all his life with the development of the two best American rifles, the Remington and Winchester. For years he was superintendent of the E. Rem ington a Sons great factory at Ilion, N. Y. A fter leaving there ne refused < teIn pSiag offer of the Chinese Government to go to China to superintend their government fac tories-and accepted instead the superin- tendency of the Winchester-Arms Co.,, at New Haven, at a salary of S7590 year.
 It was after this long term of active labor as business man that nc found himself iu- capacitated for further service by the em- bargo which rheumatism had laid upon him and resigned his position more than two years ago, and returned to Belehertown, Mass, where he now lives and owns the Phelps farm, retired spot where he has five hundred acres of land.
 Being a man of means he did not spare the cost and was treated by leading physi- clans and by baths at celebrated springs without receiving any benefit worth notice. During tue summer of 1895 and the winter of ls94 Mir Clough was confined to his house in Belchert0wn, being unable to rise from his bed without assistance, and suffering continually with acute pains and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain sufficient sleep
 Early in the year lsa4 Mfr Clough heard of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. He began taking these pills about the first of March 1894 and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The first effect noticed wasa better appetite and he began to note more ability to help him self off the bed and to be better generally, Last August (l89A he was able to go alone to his summer residence and farm of l65 acres on Grenadier Island, among the Thousand Islands, in the river St. Law renee, where from the highest land of his farm he commands view for 13 miles down the river, and 60 of tho Thousand Islands can be seen,
 Instead of being confined to his bed Mr. Clough is now and has been for some time able to be about the farm to direct the men employed there and he Is thankful for what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done forhim
 These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, r. Y, and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm $ trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 8 50 and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all druggists OF direct by mail from Dr. Will Hams Medicine Company.

How much moisture has to do with the preservation of vegetable life is shown in the case of q gum tree eight inches in diameter that was cut down some weeks ago and left lying in a swampy spot. That tree has since put forth leaves, and they are still green and apparently growing. Further more, short piece of the trunk, sew cred from the remainder and lying flat on the ground, has put forth a healthy looking shoot.

tional creature cannot cease Sc suddenly
and inexplicably as the hypothesis that
death ends all would necessitate.
But the question has been answered as
well as asked. Zen have tried to reach
finality and 20 escape from doubt
Poetry and philosophy have contributed
their answers and this book of God
which Is poetry, philosophy, reason and
revelation has come forward with the
supreme answer.
In poetry there is an outreach of soul
which spurns the hard limits of calcu-
lating and severe reason. Poetry seems
to watt US into the direct presence OF
God, while slow intellectual plodding
leaves us still upon the dusty road. The
great poets have been the great teachers.
In WORDSWORTH simple little ballad
We are Seven. the iuborn faith and hope
OF the child heart pictures those whom
death has taken as yet living.
In Tennysons immortal poem, In
Memoriam, we feel the throbbing of the
human heart IN the presence OF death
severed friendship. Up throu gh the
shadows the heart struggles toward the
light. And how true England's late
laureate was to these hopes is seen in his
last poetic utterance when he stood an
aged man waiting to be borne out upon
the tide OF the unseen future.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark
And may there be no sadness of farewell
Wlen | embark
For though from cut our bourne of time
and place
The flood may bear me far,
L hope to see my pilot face to face
When | have crossed the bar.
Sn hope sings its song III the hour of
death and rises out of the ashes of earth
ly things into the immortal life.
In philosophy such minds as those OF
Plato, Kant, Butler, Berkeley, LotZe,
FerIier, have not found it possible to stop
short OF the conclusion that lie is per-
sistent entity.
But the Bible stands ut the crown ana
summit of human thought. Where intel
lect dare not and cannot 90 there faith
may walk with all familiarity as a man
walks amid the flowers of his own gar
den. The classical passage is the fifteenth
chaper of Paul's first letter to the CORN
thians. Here we have statement of fact,
a comparison of that fact with the denial
of it, which the Corinthian wise men
made, ana lastly line OF suggestion from
analogy.
The great fact is Jesus Christ is risen
from the dead. Certainty is thus reached
in him and our minds are now free to
rove amid tbs analogies in the great
world about us.
The resurrection OF Jesus is the Christ
ian's resting place. the heaven where faith
casts anchor. Ever and ever the ques
ton OF the text will ring through our
souls. May the spirit of God show US the
answer as it is IN the divine Christ.

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN


Die Shall He Live Again?''
The Rev. G. NJ. Fisher preached for the
Central Presbyterian church yesterday
morning at Temperance TEMPLE taking
for his text Job IA IA. If man die shall
he live again? In part the gentleman
said:
These words were uttered by Job mole
than 5000 years ago. The old Testament
book, which is called by his name, is an
historical drama. There have been many
Jobs in the worlds history and the words
of this one are the words of all. | shall
speak of this text under the sim plest d.
vision of the thought posi- ple-the ques-
ton as it mas been asked and answered
This question does not come to us with
the surprise of & new thought. Is what
we call death final period in the story
of existence or is it simply an incident?
After life's fitful day, is it going to be
all night and oil obliviousness and sleep?
Is the Nirvana of unconscious repose the
highest heaven for rational creature to
expect? So universally is the question
asked.
Now it IS not hard to discover the
causes that suggest and enforce this ques
ton.
If there were no other cause it would
yet be asked with intense interest in the
answer by reason OF the love Of life which
is inherent in all sentient creatures. There
, $ something ineffably sweet in simply
living.
But there is in man special reason for
wanting to live. 1t is because man Is
CAPABLE of loving that life appears to him
what it is. the most precious of all pos
sessions. Love persists in gliding the
future. This is true of affection even
where intellect wars against affection and
tries to sti1e its hopes. The ohasm be-
tween life and death is bridged and the
angels of hope are the bright messengers
that affection sends from our shores to
the shore beyond.
And then there is ever coming up to
enforce this question the sense of the APP
