come here as pastor. He became 50
thoroughly enthused with his work that
he conceived the idea of erecting the
present pretty and roomy edifice on
Fifth street Mr.. MacMackin surmount-

rested until the church was begun Con-

he and his mother at once drew on
their bank accounts for several thou

the church, which has just been lifted.

The president of one of the leading eastern colleges was recently journey ing toward New York and found him. self in the same seat with an old man whose general appearance betokened the farmer. They soon fell into conver- sation. and after saying that he was on his first visit to the metropolis the farmer mentioned the name of the lit tie village up among the hills of New Hampshire from which he came and re- marked that he supposed his friend had never heard of it. "Oh, yes," said the man. ''I was born there" Imagine his astonishment when the country man, after staring at him several seconds, ex- claimed, "See here, I've heard all about you bunko fellers. and you can't get a chance to bunko me. So saying, he grabbed his carpetbag and, marching down the aisle, took seat on the other side of the car.-New York Times

Don't Whine.

Don't be whining about not having a fair chance Throw a sensible man out of a window and hell fall on his feet, and ask the nearest way to his work. The more you have to begin with the less you will have in the end. Money vou earn yourself is much brighter than any you get out of dead mems bags. A scant breakfast in the morn ing of life whets the appetite for a feast later in the day. He who has tasted a sour apple will have the more relish for sweet one. Your present want will make future prosperity all the sweeter. A few cents has set up many a peddler in business, and he has turned it over until he has kept his car riage. AS for the place you are cast in, don't find fault with that; you need not he a horse because you were born in a stable. If bull tossed man of metal skv-bigh he would drop down into a oood nlace. A hard-working young man with his wits about him will make money while others will do nothing but lose it.

There is more Catarrh in this section o the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incuroble. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment, Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac- tured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

First Person Photographed.

It was In 1842 that John Draper. then a professor in the University of New York, made the first portrait photo graph. The subject was Elizabeth Draper, his sister. Prof. Draper had the idea that in order to produce dis tinct facial outlines In photography 1t would be necessary to cover the cOun- tenance of the person photographed with flour. This seems a strange mo- ton now, and 1t proved not to be good one then, for all of Prof. Draper's early attempts were failures. Finally he left out the flour and then was quite sue cessful. This so delighted him that he sent the picture to Sir William Hersch- ei. the eminent English astronomer. Sir William was in turn delighted, and made known Prof. Draper's success to the scientific men of Europe. He also son. r-e@ Drara~ q letter cf aoknowI- a".-..-. r-I raf .r- ...=5. Hn.e.
