The Power of a Good Example

Some thirty-fve years ago there
lived in one of the rural districts OF
Pennsylvania several families, in each
of which were several boys and girls.
When an event of interest was to
take place in any Of the surrounding
towns, these young people often made
up sleighing parties and went III
body to attend il. Upon Que occasion,
lecture was to be given in a town
six miles away. These young people,
made up of brothers and sisters from
each family, met as was thor wont to
attend it. Arriving at the village,
The girls were escorted 10 the hotel
parl5v 10 wait until the boys had put
their horses up. This done, the boys
came into the parlor and one OF them
started around the room and asked
each lady as he came to her what she
would have to drink. One Of them
said she would take beer, another
raspberry wine, another grape wine.
aud so on, until he came to the one
who told me the story. She had a
brother, sister and gentleman
friend in the GRO Ed, and she asked
herself these questions, "Will | dare
drink anything intoxicating even if
il wero pleasant to my tsste-and it
was uot-im the presence OF my BROTH
er aud sister aud this young man
whom | respect? Would | dare set
such an example before them?" And
the answer came: No! no! with
Gods help I VIII resist the tempter.
20 when the young man asked her
what she would take, she said SIC
would take glass OF water. lie
looked at her in establishment and
said, "Do YOU mean to insult mt ?"
She replied that she thought he was
the one that had offered the itsult,
BY this time sympathy ran high
among the girls for the youth who
was gallant enough to offer to treat
the crowd, and they sneered and said
many things that Stuug the girl to the
heart, but she was firm and replied:
81 shall never to that which | would
be ashamed to have my brother or Sic
ter or friend do" That very night
,he was repaid by hearing her brother
and sister and friend all say they
would take glass of water. And
many times after that she had been
told that the stand she took that night
had in all probability saved her
brother and friend from a life OF
drunkenness, while every one of the
boys who drank that night continued
to drink until two of them at least
now fiji drunkards' grave. Let us

wALLINe MUST HANG.
Scott Jackson's Companion in Crime
Doomed to Die.

Doomed to Die.
FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 1.-THE Ken
lucky court of appeals handed down the
decision in the Walling case Saturday
and refused to give Scott jackson s
companion in crime new trial. There
is some hope now that the murderers of
poor Pearl Bryan will get the punish
ment they so richly deserve--death on
the gallows. 1t win probably be a
double hanging. This will be decided
by the governor within few days.
The following is an abstract of the
Walling decision: Walling's connec-
ton with the movements of the muir
dered girl during her stay in Cincinnati
and his attempts to dispose of her eff
fects after the murder are clearly es-
tablished by the proof, to say nothing
Of the direct proof of the negro cab
driver. The verdict can not, therefore,
be disturbed for lack of evidence to
support it.
The sufficiency Of the Indictment and
the correctness of these instructions
have been carefully reviewed in the
Jackson case, and these grounds need
not be considered further, The same
is true of the statements of the accused
to the officers and the reporters. They
We're made freely and voluntarily.
The statements Of the accused to the
witness Albion. that he intended to stay
at Heider's hotel on Thursday night
may be competent; but its exclusion
was not prejudicial in his substantial
rights The proof comes suspiciously
near showing Albion himself to be con-
nected with the crime, or of having
a knowledge of Jackson's and Walling's
connection with it, If sucha statement
was made, or if Walling had such an
intention, the proof is clear that he
abandoned it, and did not in fact stay
there that night.
while this court is not the trier of
the facts, we are authorized to deter
mine what errors affect OF do not affect
the substantial rights of the accused,
and perceiving no errors to the appel
lant's prejudice in this record, the judg-
ment is affirmed"

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
S. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its tortures.
She says:
"For years l was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that l ever
heard of. l was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
"The trouble became so deep-seated
that / was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when l state
that all the inside of my nose, includ-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. 1t
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me / would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., determined to
try it as a last resort. / soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only a blood remedy
could cure it. l began to improve at
once, and grew better as l continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
! the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment l was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease"
Catarrh is one of the deep-seated
/ blood diseases, and only a thorough
blood remedy will have any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that is guaranteed

Deaf
From Cataprh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more encouragement in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only a
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable, with their stereotyped RENE
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring it's
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, etc, is but SUI
perficial and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect cure.
