Remarkable Span Of LIE.

On q tombstone In Landau Centre.
N, H., Is the following inscription {:
"Widow Susanna Brownson was born
August 8, 1899, and died June -,
1902. aged lob years. This Is the
record OF life which took In parts Of
tho 18th and 10th centuries and the
whole Of the 18th century. As the
average OF human life Ia increasing In
modern days, 1t Is probable that
some infants now living will continue
to live until the year 1000 A. ID.
They would then be not SO old as
are number OF persons who have
died considerably exceeding a CEN
fury within recent years. 1t 10 likely
also that the number Of centenarians
In proportion to population will be
much greater during tho goth cen.
fury than 1t has been in the 10th.
We frequently hear the span OF hu.
man life spoken OF as seventy years,
and II 1t goes to four score 1t means
labor weakness and sorrow. But q
still older record In the Bible makes
one hundred and twenty years the
natural period OF human life. To
that age Moses lived, and we are
told OF him that This eyes were not
dimmed nor his natural force
abated." Many who now die early
from contagious diseases have ma
tural vitality which should insure an
advanced age, and will when medical
science learns how to control these
diseases and make them harmless.

Killed 0y Carrying Geld.

Mr.. F. r. Carter, who 10 in the BIZ.
cycle and sewing machine business,
confirms the report that his wife,
Ellen Carter, il now the heir to
property worth about $1,000
Mrs. Carter II one OF the seven
daughters Of Mrs. Bridget Egan, who
died ut Greensburg, Penn, about q
month ago. Mrs. Egan at the time
OF her death was over ninety years Of
age, and was In many ways re-
narkable woman. She belonged 70
q good old Irish family. Early In
life she went 70 Pennsylvania with
her husband, and for fifty years she
lived in Greensburg. Her son, Frank
Egan. was sent to college. and while
pursuing his studies became &C
quainted with james G. Blaine.
Young Egan studied law and settled
In San Antonio, Texas, wnen that
city was miles away from a railroad.
The young man was prosperous. and
soon owned large amount Of prop
erty In the Texas city.
He was taken sick, and went home
and died. His mother assumed con-
troll Of the property he left. She
went to San Antonio to look after
her interests. and disposed Of Q part
Of the rcal estate. She received pay
ment in gold for the property, and
the problem with her was to get the
gold home. She finally hit upon
tho plan Of putting the metal into
sacks, which were bound about her
chest. In this way she succeeded In
getting the money to her Pennsyl-
vania homo, but the weight of the
metal upon her chest gave her heart
disease, with which she was always
troubled after making the journey.
Mrs. Egan paid the taxes on the
San Antonio property. and now that
she Is gone, her daughters are heirs
to about twenty-five acres OF land In
the Texas city. Besides this real
estate, the old lady left property In
Galveston. Texas; Washington.
Greensburg, Penn, and In Amherst.
Canada. She never said much abo 1t
her holdings, and it was not until u
short time before her death thaS the
members Of her family knew that she
owned any property In Canada. To
all Of Mr.. Egan's daughters were
afforded excellent opportunities for
good education, and some OF them
became expert linguists.

Now. when the race IL just begun.
with all its warmth and xest,
And twice the needful gifts and powers
Are trembling In your breast.
While Fortune beckons Just before,
While Hope Is in the van.
Resolved with all your strength and soul
To do the best you can!
The best you cant The time will come
When that will seem too small
Ambition scarcely worth the pains,
So Rrievous Is Its fall:
To pick the scattered fragments ups
Accept the altered plans
II almost needsa hero's heart
10 do the best you CO..!
Dangers and downfalls lie in store
For every soul alive.
And life, in truth, IL not case
Ofthree and two are five.
But trust me, he, and only he,
n wiser than the rest,
Who puts his shoulder t. the wheel
And simply does his best.
Come chance IL always left at hand,
II not the chance we sought,
And none can tell what good may fall
From the least deed or thought.
Then take the troubles ~ they come,
Acquit you like man,
Accept your part with all your heart,
And do the best you can!

hours.

Some reading that will prove inter-
esting to young mothers. How to guard
against the disease.
Group is a terror to young mothers
and to post'them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatmenti is the OBJ
ject of this item. The origin of Group
is a common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; that is oon
followed by a peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by INT who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group will soon disap-
pear. Even after the croupy cough has
developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. For
sale by F. E. B%ritton, druggist.

Deafness Can Not be Cured

by local application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Gu
stachian tube. When this tube gets
intiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation a be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
intlamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of deafness (caus.
ed by catarrh) that can not be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
%culars, free.

1t will not cure everything. 1t is
not claimed that it will cure but n
complaint, that is, dyspepsia. We can
not say that it will cur every case of
dyspepsia, but it will cure a large ma
jority of them. Such cases as are
adapted to its use will derive inmedi.
ate benefit. One small bottle will be
sufficient to test it. The Shaker Diges.
tive Cordial is especially adapted for
emaciated or elderly people whose
food does them but little or no good
because it is not digested. The cordial
contains an artificially digested food
and is a digester of food happily COM
bined. Read one of the little books
which your druggist is now giving
away and learn of this wonderful
remedy.
A really palatable Castor Oil can
now be had under the name of Laxol.
