Consumption is disease caused by
impurity of the blood, and the first
thing to be done in It's treatment is to
make the blood pure, rich and whole
some. That is half the battle. The
other half is the impregnation of the
blood with cleansing, healing, invigo-
rating medicines. DIR. PIerce's Golden
Medical Discovery does both. 1t first
puts the whole digestive system into
order, rids it of all impurities, and from
the vantage ground so gained, reaches
out to every fiber of the body and re-
stores all to perfect vigor 1t cures
many diseases, simply because many
diseases spring from set of common
causes. The same disorder may lead
to different symptoms in different peo-
pie. What might be only little in
digestion in one person, may combine
with a slight cold in another and result
in consumption. A treatment that
tones up the whole system is always
the safest. A medicine that is good
for the general health is pretty sure to
cure ordinary diseases.

The boys had left the ranches and come
to town in piles,
The ladies, "kinder scattering" had
gathered in for miles;
And yet the place was crowded, as L

The music was fiddle and a lively
tam bourine,
And ''voil come imported" by the
stage from Abeline.
The room was logged out gorgeous
with mistletoe and shawls,
An candles hickered frescoes around
the airy walls.
The "wimmin folks" looked lovely-the
boys looked kinder freed,
And their leader commenced yellin':
Whoa. fellers, let's stampede"
And the music started sighin' and
wailin' through the hall,
AS a kind of Introduction to the Sow

The leader was fellow that came from

His rig was kinder keerless," big

He had the reputation that comes when
''fellers Shoots"
His voice was like a bugle upon the
mountain height,
His feet were amin ated and mighty

When he CONNER ced to boiler: "Now

.nitter Crx OF the MoneyIcs..'

charlotte On. c. Observer
This is the New York Suns heading
Of an editorial discussing the recent
bankers convention in Atlanta, III
which II says that "the explanation OF
the discomfort with existing currency
conditions which. at the south, under
lies and animates the demand Tor cur
rency reform legislation. IS found IN
the following resolutions which that
body adopted:
Increase the amount OF gold and sii-
yer in circulation among our people.
Give smaller towns the advantage OF
better banking facilities, so that every
honest man will have meted out 10 MN
the credit he is entitled TO.
Give producers of every kind in every
section ample currency at reasonable
rates of interest 10 handle and hold
their crops or manufactures until they
desire to dispose of them.
Give lower and equaized rates OF IN
terest throughout the United States.
Tho comment runs on:
All these things resolve themselves
into one--more money for the money
less. How legislation can furnish II,
except by giving" the money outright
to those who need Il, nobody can explain
That there is in the country already an
amply sufficient supply Of coin and paper
money the accumulation OF both IN TINS
city and at other financial centres plainly
shows The difficulty Is TO get II dis
tributed in localities where it is now
scarce. and that difficulty can be re-
moved only by the industry and economy
of the people of those localities them
selves. Legislation viii not help them.
Doubling the number OF banks and the
quantity Of bank notes in existence would,
under present conditions, only double the
unused surplus Of currency without help
ing those with whom it Is now lacking
to get any portion Of 1t.
This is part truth and part error. 1t
is simple fact that there Is more
money i'm the country than there ever
was before but TO cite as the Sun does,
the accumulation of it in New YORK
and other financial centres" Is merely
to aggravate the irritation Of the people
outside of those centres. That Is exactly
what IS the matter-the very fact that
the SIM cites to sustain its contention
is the very grievance of the people at
large. Yes. there IS abundant money, but
II Is accumulated i'm New York and other
financial centres, where it lies dormant
while the people suffer for the lack OF X.
Nor is it any sufficient answer 10 the
complaint to say that "the industry and
economy of the people" will procure the
equal distribution needed. These things
have not procured these results thus far
and hence the statement that Legislation
will not help" will not be accepted.
Legislation will help. 1t is not necessary
to reverse the country's standard of value
in order TO secure the relief needed;
indeed. that would be going from bad TO
worse; but the corner in money needs TO
be broken and TO this end there Is i'm
perative need Of a total revision OF the
countrys banking and currency laws

Sweet angels OF the Christmas-tide
Who heralded the Prince Of Peace.
Oh. bring Him 10 our world again!
We've shut him in a sphere outside,
And as the busy years increase
He's crowded from the hearts of men.
He would not know our temple shrines,
Where human lives are bought and sold
All drunk with greed and self and~sin (;
The lamp OF truth but dimly shines,
And. like the wicked king of old
We will not let the Master In.
The workers I'm His market-place
Stand idly there with folded hands
And sUllcu mien and muttercd breath;
And mothers clutch with frenzied face
Their starving little household bands,
And hopelessly they pray for death.
Sweet angels OF the Christmas tide
You hear the anthems silver rune.
You hear the merry clash Of bells;
His blessed poor are crucined
Each day IN agony that swells.
And ali the world IS out OF tune.
Let discord and dissension cease,
And all His people be as one.
Oh. comfort hearts so bruised and sorel
Herald again the Prince OF Peace.
With love effulgent as the sun,
Difiusing all the efrth once more.
Sweet angels. come with praise and shout
And make men brothers. all akin.
Cur temples 50 impure have grown,
Turn all the money-changers out
Bring the poor suffering wanderers In,
Restore the Master 20 HIS own.

when papa was little boy
You really couldn't find
In all the state OF washington
A child so quick OF mind.
His mother never called but once
And pa was always there;
He never made the baby cry
or pulled his sisters hair-
Gle never slid down banisters,
or made the slightest noise;
And never in his life was known
To fight with other boys.
He always studied hard az school,
And got his lessons right;
And chopping wood and milking COWS
Were papa's chief delight.
HE always rose at six o'clock,
And went TO bed at eight,
And never lay abed till noon
And never sat up late.
He finished Latin, French, and Greek
When he was ten years old;
And ne knew the Spanish alphabet
As soon as he was told.
He never grumbled when he had
To 90 the evening chores,
And ne'er in all his lite forgot
To shut the stable doors.
He never. never thought Of play
Until his work was done;
He labored hard from break of day
Until the set Of sun.
ale never scraped his muddy shoes
Upon the parlor floor,
And never answered back his ma,
And never banged the door.
But. truly. l could never See"
Said little Dick Malloy,
"How he could never do these things,
And really be a boy"
