EXPLAINED.
Confidence In Their Product Led the Shak- ers to Make an Unusual Offer.

efA 10 MNho Nh OHeis
 People of this day and generation are not disposed to give things away, When therefore the Mount Lebanon Shakers recently stated that anyone could get a bottle of Digestive Cordial by calling in person at their New York office, it eX- cited a great deal of talk.
 One of the leading dailies of the Me- tropols sent reporter to find out what was meant. It developed that the prep aratlon in question has proven beneficial | in so large a majority of cases that nine-tenths of the people who are suf- fciently anxious to call for a sample, find so much relief that they continue | the products use and tell their friends about it. As result a very large de- mand has been created.
 | The Shakers have long record of success as inventors and their various medicinal products have always enjoy ed a high reputation. The Digestive Cordial Is not only nourishing in itself, but 1t digests other foods when taken as directed.
 Sleepless nights, spots before the eyes and a sense of heaviness after eating, | loss of weight and general weakness are among the common symptoms of indi- gestion which 1t promptly relieves, and it is gratifying to know that such pos itive and harmless remedy as Digestive Cordial should have at last been devised

THANKSGIVING PICTURE.
What if the gold of the corn lands

What IL the gold OF the corn lands
Is faded to sombre gray?
And what IL the down Of the thistle
Is ripened and scattered away?
There's gold in the gathered harvest:
There's homely and heartsome cheer:
And so we will be full joyous
The day OF thanksgiving is here.
A sigh for the vanished splendor
OF the autumn's purple and red
For the golden-rod that is whitened,
For the gentian bloom that is dead:
Then turn to the hearthstone CHEEKY:
Behold, tits the time of year
To count our blessings and mercies--
The day of thanksgiving Is here.
Bare and brown in the shadows.
The meadowland meets the gaze,
Where the bold. blithe bee went seek
ing
It's sweets In the summer days.
The honey Is stored in plenty
So what IL the winter is near?
The time is not one for repining-
The day of thanksgiving Is here.
The fruit has matured In It's season,
The sunshine has ripened the seed.
Then sing to the Lord of the harvest
A song Of thanksgiving indeed.
The morn and the noon hs. n passed By
US;
IT'S the sweet afternoon Of the year,
So let not your tribute be lacking
The day OF thanksgiving Ia here.

Running Double Capacity.

In the year 1894 the De Kalb Fence
Co. of De Kalb, ILL.,, doubled the ca
pacity for producing their lines over
1898, which gave them an output OF
20 miles per day. The demand for their
goods has been so great the past sea-
son, that in order to be able to supply
their trade, they have been compelled
this year to double the capacity OF 1894,
which now gives them an output OF 40
miles per day.
This in itself speaks we'll for their
product and merits the attention and
inspection of our readers, and all that
are in need of smooth wire fencing or
any kind, and 1t will be to your inter-
est to write for their catalogue which
describes in detail their goods, COM

duced by any one plant in the country.

the fair woman shrank as from blow.

and said no more; and through the tenn

night the little Falling Leaf plodded on
towards the beacon lights that starred
the far-off. rock-bound coast of Maine.
And when the lurid light of dawn fiut-

ridged with royal ermine.

"he, the fair-haired brother Paul, that
