We are not to blame for. We cannot be
held responsible for the dispositions and
tendencies which we derive from our
ancestors, nor are we responsible for the
germs Of disease which may manifest
themselves In our blood as heritage
from former generations. But we are
responsible II we allow these germs to
develop into serious diseases which will
impair our usefulness and destroy our
happiness. We are responsible II we
transmit to our descendants the disease
germs which 1t Is possible for US to
eradicate by the use Of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, the one true blood purifier. This
medicine has power to make rich, red
blood and establish perfect health In
place Of disease.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
(Copyrightei)

To YoUNG MEN Remember how
small place money ought to have 10
your calculations; az any rate that you
should never reckon your success BY the
amount of money YOU make. Even
granting that you are toiling 20 win a
wife, IL money Is your sole standard you
will Law at her feet the least valuable
gift IL YOU bring not TO her clean mind,
an upright life, and a soul above rob
berry. And he that msketh haste to be
rich runs danger Of STOPPING 10 things
so mean and so contemplate that he Is
not fit to be the husband Of any wife or
the possible father OF any living children,
though he be wealthy as most golden
dream can fancy.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1897-05-11

Remember that coursge-the quality
YOU 80 much admire and about which
YOU possibly use such false estimates
is not measured by the strength Of the
arm nor readiness 20 die. Bodily
courage Is sometimes only the mark OF a
eoarse-grsined nature-mere insensibii-
ity TO danger, like the mad frenzy OF a
bull. Real courage, Is that Of the mind
that will keep you working on IN the face
of defeat, or that enables YOU 10 dare
great purposes, when the way 10 their
accomplishment Is like the way 10 an
Alpine summit, only attained by cheer
full self-denial and the constant crying 10
that inner purpose, Excelsior, Excel
sior :" IL requires more than orosd
chest 70 stand sheer, more than fear
less eve 10 turn from the pleading glsnc-
es OF a pleasure-loving woman, more
than mere muscle to keep on doing those
things that are Of good report, when all
the companions of your youth call you a
fool.
