A. L. Budd, Druggist of Arnprior, Ont,
Reports this Wonderful Case.

Man does a lot Of foolish things. and
when Won come to look them all over.
the continued use OF tobacco is, With
out doubt, the most unaccountable Of

Tobacco kills more people than all the
contagious diseases together.
We don't know it, or don't want 70
admit il, but it's SO. Not one man in
ten would get sick so easily and die
from catarrh, consumption, pneumon-
ia, heart disease. etc, II MS otherwise

ed by tobacco poison
It's so easy 10 get started, and so I'M
possible to stop tobacco use, unless No
To-Bac comes to the rescue. Millions
are now seeking relief, and they are
coming from all parts OF the world.

AN EXPLANATION.

Ed. REPUBLICAN,:
am very glad to hear once more
from Bare Creek correspondent as l
really supposed that he was dead;
but he always comes to life and looks
over the town about election time
and picks up some news to 60 with
his election notes, and this time he
has exaggerated it very much, and if
you will allow me space in your pa
per l will tell it as it is and it will be
a warning to others that handle old
guns. l borrowed a gun from Mr..
Fuller and one barrel pulled off hard
and l had fired it 3 or 4 times. The
other barrel would hardly stand
cooked and I did not know it as 1 had
never fred it off. One evening when
1 was unloading a load of manure 1
started up a rabbit and he ran near
the house 30 I went in and got the
gun and went after him and when l
saw him L cooked the gun and in
tended to let the team walk along.
l had hold of both the gun and the
lines with my left hand when one of
the horses stepped in a hole and
stumbled and that jerked the gun
aud it went off. The charge from
the gun cut the hide Oh the horses
thigh but the horse did not make
any fuss. 1t was about dark and |
did not know that the horse was hurt
until the next morning, and if ! had
not found the wads oil the gun in the
horse would not have known that
he was hurt.
The former writer has had a good
deal oi fun out OF tins but it was not
much fun for the horse or me either

said Lord Bacon, "maketh a full
man." That is, a man of knowledge.
knowledge is power. Do you want
to be powerful? Textbooks in
school furnish knowledge, but they
can give only the skeleton. The flesh
must be put on by the teacher Tor by
reading), in the way of illustration.
To get this additional information
one must read many special books,
which are not to be found outside Of
big libraries. Each month the Bur
lington Route issues printed sheet
containing articles of thirty to forty
lines, compact, reliable and interest
ing, on geographical, scientific, and
historical subjects. If you send
