HE MOVED MANY TO TEARS.
Evangelist Moody Makes Beautiful Tall
at the Funeral of His Mother.

Evangelist Moody Makes a Beautiful Talk
at the Funeral of His NJ other.
The hundreds of persons who filed
the Congressional church the day Mrs.
Moody was buried were moved to tears
as the Rev. Dwight l.. Moody, the
evangelist, standing over the open
coffin which held the body of his
mother, paid touching tribute to her
life of self sacrifice and devotion, and
recountedsthe story of his own early
life of privation and other incidents
which the public had never heard
"She made her home, poor though
it was" said he, 1.-The best place on
earth to us. She taught us that power
ty was no disgrace. During the first
years of her widowhood she wept her
self to sleep night after night, and we
never knew of it until later years"
MIR. Moody told of the trying days
after the father died, leaving the
family bankrupt; how the creditors
took all the property. even the wood
from he shed; how the children, him
self included, had to etay in bed one
morning until school time because
there was no wood for re, but a
nelghbor brought a load before night
and the family was kept together.
Mr.. Moody read from the Bible and
from Il book of verses given his mother
by the late DIR. Everette Turning to
the face of his mother. and in the gen
tie voice which has turned thousands,
he said, as he shook his head, God
bless you. mother; we love you still.r

News Which Is Coed News to Women

1t is fact that our women who suf
fer from female complaints and are
consequently weak, tired. nervous.
dragged out and full OF pains and
aches, do not have the same oppor-
tunity to be cured as do the residents
of the great cities where the most sue
cessful specialists in female diseases
reside. In other words. our women
are deharred from seeking a cure by
the great and skilled physicians owing
to the cost of travel to the large city
and the high fees charged by such
specialists.

sick and suffering women of our COM
munity which should not be lost. Dr.

and wonderful success in treating such
cases, as to just what to do to get cured

successful specialist in the world with
out leaving home and at no expense
whatever. The Doctor is the dis
coverer of that greatest of all known |

Judge Bicycles Advice to Farmers
Bog.
[From Farm Journal for March,

From Farm journal IOr MdTcII
A young man writes me that he is
unmarried, and would like to get into
some other business than farming, and
wishes to know what l would recon-
mend.
In reply would say that it would
not be wise for me to give specific ad-
vice on such an important matter
without knowing the qualifications of
the person making the inquiry. If he
was brought up on the farm, under
stands the business, and is physically
able to work. his chances for success
are probably as good in farming as in
any other pursuit. There are fewer
failures among farmers than in any
other calling, and l believe there is
more comfort and happiness on the
farm than in the store and shop.
Nevertheless, if my young friend pos
itively dlslikes farm life and cannot
get interested in it, he had better pull
out and try something else. If he is
now on the home farm, conducted by
his parents, perhaps if he be allowed
to have share in the business, even
though a small one, and given a chance
to get foothold for hims elf, he will be
satisfied and content to stay on; and
this is subject that father should
take into consideration. If the condi
tions are such that there is no room
for him there, and | know this is often
the case, then he had better try some
thing else.
If he has neither trade nor profession.
nor the time, means and inclination to
go through college or serve apprentice
ship to & trade, and has strong desire
to be a merchant, then should advise
him to go into a store, preferably one
near home, and learn the business In
seeking such position. do not be par
ticular about the salary, find a place
with an honest man, even ii the pay be
next to nothing, and devote your ser
vices to his interests rather than your
own. Make yourself so useful to him
that he cannot very well get along with
out you, in which case the salary will
take care of itself, without any boost
ing of your own. Be diligent, be hon
est, be willing, be polite. be faithful in
every detail, just as though the bust
ness belonged to you.
Do not drink. do not smoke. do not
f1irt, keep the heart pure and the body
clean, read good books, go to church,
never listen to or tell course stories, be
obliging, keep busy. Follow this up,
get married as soon as you can find a
girl better than yourself, and have
sufficient income to support her in COM
fort-not luxury-and your success is
one of the certainties Of the future.
In the language of noted divine:
"Set yourself earnestly to see what you
were made to do and the set yourself
earnestly to do it,"

Giraffe Hunting.

Certainly one can scarcely consider II

tically speaking, if he has good horse
Which he can stick to, and can hit bay-

why he should not count his slain giraffes

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles a thousand fold,
Is healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please.
A heart that can feel for anOther's woe,
With sympathieS large enough to enfOld
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear
Though tOiling for bread in an humble sphere
Doubly blessed with contentment and health
Untried by the lusts and cares of wealth.
Lowly living and lofty thought
AdOrn and enOble a poor manS.cOt;
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the geninue tests of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when the labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep
And the balm that drops in his slumberS deep
Brings sleepy draughts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head.
A shorter route to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind
That in the realm of books can find
treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore.
The sages and the poets lay,
The glorleS Of empires passed away,
The worlds great dream will shus unfold
And yield q treasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home,
~ here all the f1reside characters come;
the shrine of love, the heaven of life.
HallOwed by mother or sister or wife.
However humble the home may be.
Or tried by sorrow with heavens decree
The blessings that ISyHr were bought or solo
And center there are better than gold.
