Likes and Dislikes.

A woman was heard to make the as
sertion the other day that Gin nine
cases out of ten we like people because
they like us, or dislike them because
they have failed to appreciate u.s." 1t
is something Of an admission to make,
and yet to certain extent it is true.
We cannot help being influenced in our
opinions of others by their evident opin-
ions of us, for the person who is inter-
ested in what we say, who defers to US
and enjoys our society, naturally ap-
pears to us in favorable light. On the
other hand the man or woman who
never notices US, who takes no pains to
conceal his or her indifference Or dis
like, need not expect to receive our
hearty good will and esteem. Tt shows
touch of self conceit on our part, and
yet it is human nature.
Sometimes, however, we misjudge
others by this feeling. We take unrea-
sonable prejudices against people, and
perhaps by our very actions cause them
to dislike US, and then blame them for
it.-Fhiladelphia Times

Indigestion is often taken for con-
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as con-
sumptives.
The reason peoplp waste away is
because either they don't get enough
to eat, or they don't digest what they
do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will
help you to digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and the juices of
fruit, by the well-known Shakers at
Mount Lebanon. 1t possesses great
tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consumptives (who
were really dyspeptics), by simply
helping their stomachs to digest their
food, thus giving them nourishment
and new strength.

A 16.Year.0Id Girl has

THE REVIVIFYING EFFECTS OF A PROPER
NERVE FOODIDEMONSTRATED.
From the Era, bradford, Pa.

Several months ago, Miss Cora Watrous,
the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr.. |. C.
WatrOus, q locomotive fireman, of 81 Clarion
Street, Bradford, Penna., was seized with a
nervous disorder which threatened to end
her life. The first symptom of the ailment
was loss of appetite. For some little time
Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and COM
planned Of feeling of extreme lassitude.
This was followed by severe pains in the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly crazed with a terrible headache and
nothing could be procured to give her relief.
Finally after trying numerous remedies,
q physician was called and began treating
the patient. He said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood, but after
several weeks of his treatment the young
lady's condition had not improved and the
parents decided to procure the services OF
another physician. In the meantime Miss
Watrous' nervousness had increased, the
pains in her head had grown more severe
and the sufferers parents had almost given
up hope of her recovery.
1t was at this time that Mr.. Watrous heard
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
He found that the pills were highly recon.
mended for nervous disorders and concluded
to give them a trial. A box of the pills was
purchased and before they had all been taken
there was marked improvement in the
girls condition. After q half dozen boxes
had been used the young lady's appetite had
returned, the pain in her head had ceased
and she was stronger than at any time pre-
vious to her illness.

Miss Watrous concluded that her cure was
complete and left home for q visit TO relatives
in the grape country near Dunkirk, n. Y.
She stopped taking the medicine and by
over-exertion brought the ailment back again.
As soon as the returning symptoms were felt.
Miss Watrous secured another box of pills and
the illness was soon driven away. She is now
in better physical condition than she has been
for years and declares that she owes her life to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watrous were interviewed
by reporter at their home on Clarion
Street. Both are loud in their praises of
Pink Pills. "My daughters life was saved
by the medicine" said Mrs. Watrous. "Her
condition was almost hopeless when she COM
menced taking them, but now she is as strong
and healthy as any one could be. l cannot
recommend the medicine too highly"

Washington as Christian Citizen

Washington as a Christian Citizen
The most illustrious Of American
patriots, George Washington, is q
striking example of the ideal Chris
tan citizen as seen in the light Of
these days. The Christian Citizen
ship movement of to-day seems, in
fact, to be a supreme effort to get
back or up to the Washington stand
ard. More and more emphasis is
fortunately being placed upon this
phase of the character of the one
honored through the ages as the
"Father of this Country" and it is
we'll.
Washington was never a trlfer.
The earnest hearted boy with dark
brown hair and eyes of deepest blue,
at his mothers knee drank in deeply
of Sir Matthew Hale's "Contempla-
tions, Moral and Divine" When q
man, broad. .shouldered and noble
mien, he did not fail humbly, in
secret prayer, to invoke Gods help
and blessing before entering upon the
bloody engagements for freedom.
Bancroft says of him, "Washington
was profoundly impressed with Gods
Providence. Belief in God and trust
in tiis overruling power formed the
essence of his character. His whole
being was one continued act or faith
in the eternal, intelligent, moral order
of the Universe. Integrity was so
completely the law of his nature that
a planet would sooner have shot from
it's sphere than he have wandered from
the path of uprightness which was SO
constant that it seemed almost i'm
personal"
Written in labored school boy hand
at the age of thirteen in his book OF
maxims, were these words, which
were the great secret Of his life's
power: Labor to keep alive in your
breast that little spark of celestial fire
called conscience The result OF
this "labor" was the life, characteriz.
ed by Robert G. Winthrop at the un
yelling Of the Washington obelisk, as
.the prime meridian Of pure, disin.
terested, patriotic, exalted, human
character" On the same occasion
this distinguished orator said: "This
Union is a monument to Washing.
ton" If it be worthy one, depends
upon the principals which govern the
citizens of this Union.

ley bill, and by The Finance Commit
tee of the Senate in doing its patch
work, has been the assumption that
the American people are mostly fools.
There are various kinds of fools, but
the sort of fool the average Ameri-
can has been taken to be by the tariff
smiths is the one who will accept
words for things indefinitely. Phrases
have great power in politics, assured
ly, but when they embody falsehood
and are overworked, the gold plating
of the verbal brick wears off and the
brass finally shows through so dis
tinctly that even the dullest eye can
see it. "Protectitn n to home industry"
is phrase that has served the Repub.
licans so we'll that they have been be-
trayed into the error of believing it
would serve them forever. The prop
osition that trade can be improved by
putting barriers in its way, and that
people can tax themselves rich,
have elected Presidents and Congress
es, but they will do so no more.
Americans have learned their lesson
at heavy cost in time and money,
but it has been learned. Protection
is played out. That is as plain as
any fact In politics can be.
The American people see the Ding
ley bill, as passed by the House and
trimmed by the Senate, as it really is
an elaborate scheme of thievery.
No art Of phrasing can conceal from
them that it prostitutes the Govern
ment's power to tax to the uses of the
trusts-that it is scheme to plunder
the working millions for the gain of
the brainy gentlemen who combine
to procure that privilege for them
selves, and pay for the privilege by
filing the campaign fund of the ''par'
ty Of protection"
Having put their hand to the Ding
Icy plough, the Republicans will not
look back, because they cannot. tits
the despotic necessity Of the situation
that they must 60 on with their sui
cidal work. The forcing trusts, as
we'll as their platform and traditions,
are behind them. The are between
the devil and the deep sea.
The people having been awakened
to the meaning of protection-awak-
enend to the knowledge that the par
ty in power Is as to the tariff but the
servant of private interests-it may
be hoped that their intelligence will
be equal to putting two and two to-
gether and arriving at the resulting
four. Is the party which proves it
self to be the lackey of the trusts III
one direction likely to be free from
the same mastership when it comes to
the national finances? Is there a
single trust which has been demand
ing tariff favors at Washington that
has not shown its willingness to pay
handsomely for the maintenance of
the single gold standard? Was not
every one of them out in noble de-
fence of the "national honor" a few
months ago?-N. Y. Journal.

his work Is voiced in these words:
al am oppressed and almost over
whelmed with q sense of divine
munifcence. / feel that nothing is
due to my personal agency in all these
wonderful and complicated events,
except what can be attributed to an
honest zeal for the good of my coun-
try" When cruelty assailed, he
wrote the president of Congress:
"Why should l expect to be exempt
from censure, the unfailing lot of an
elevated station2 Merit and talent,
which l cannot pretend to rival have
ever been subject to it,"
Men and women who are standing
against the powers of evil in these
days, encouraging their fellows to be-
lieve that the right must WIN, feel a
bond of sympathy with him who had
courage ofttimes, for the entire army
of freezing, starving patriots. Our
hearts are stirred as we read of his
urging the singing of patriotic songs,
and using other like methods to keep
up the spirits of the blee ding, weary
footed soldiery, who thought ofhome
and longed for peace.
In his farewell address he gave a
memorable warning against party
spirit, which should burn into the
hearts Of American citizens to-day
and for all time. He spoke of it as
"a fire not to be quenched, it demands
a uniform vigilance to prevent its
Bursting into fame, lest instead of
warming 1t should consume" In the
most solemn manner he warned his
fellow patriots against the baneful
effects of party spirit. Said he: "The
common and continual mischiefs of
the spirit of party are sufficient TO
make it the interest and duty of a
wise people to discourage and restrain
1t. Especially in governments purely
elective, it is spirit not to be en-
couraged." He saw danger distinc-
tions drawn on geographical lines,
and time has demonstrated his fears
to have been we'll founded. Blind
fealty to party has been a sad char
acteristic of our "might be freeman"
If any doubt fingers in the mind of
the reader as to the quality of W lash
ington's Christian Citizenship prlnci
Piles, the following words from him
should definitely settle the matter.
They stand as spire pointing upward
and away from the small views OF
faith lacking men and women who
fail to recognize God in our national
affairs; "No people can be bound to
acknowledge and adore an Invisible
Hand which conducts the affairs OF
men more than the people of the
United States. Every step by which
they have advanced to the character
of an independent nation, seems to
have been distinguished by some
token of providential agency. OF all
the dispositions and habitswhich lead
to political prosperity, religion and
morality are indispensable supports.
In vain would that man claim the
tribute Of patriotism who should
labor to subvert these great pillars of
human happiness, these firmest props
Of the duties of men and Of citizens"

HIS FUTURE ADDRESS.
The Doctor is Sorry He Can't
Leave 1t But He. Engraves
His Epitaph Upon Endur-
ing Stone.

A German physician living at Otta
wa, o., has his epitaph written and
cut into ehduring stone.
The story is told by Louis Morris
a travelling salesman of Cleveland
whose business takes him through
the northern part of Ohio. Accord
ing to Mr.. Morris story the physician
is an original character. He is abou!
four feet high, always wears a white
plug hat, and invariably carries q
heavy walking stick, and smokes an
old-fashioned pipe. Robert G. lnger-
soil lectured in the town some few
months ago, and advanced the idea
that man should live in readiness
for death, and to this end should have
his epitaph written while he is alive
to enjoy it. The little German doctor
was deeply impressed with this sug-
gestion.
Some time ago the doctor, it is said
went to one of bis patients and offered
to take stone from the latter's barn.
ward IN settlement of bill for servlc.
es. Of course the owner of the bowl
der acquiesced in the arrangement,
and the next day stone wagon wa:
driven up to the yard and the bowl
der carted away. But then came diff
culties which the doctor had no
thought of. The bowlder was 80 large
that it took up considerably more O.
his yard than his wife would allow
and he was compelled to have it re-
moved to plot OF ground in his corr
field. There the stone rested TO,
several days, in the meantime th'
neighbors were on the tiptoe of expec
tatlon as to what the physician intend
ed to do with it. Some were of th'
opinion that he intended to grind i
into powder and make it into SOM
new tangled sort ofpllls; while other
were Of the opinion that he intended
to have it carved into a tomb stone
The latter were more firmly of tina
opinion when they saw a bevy of ston
masons at work upon it the mex
molning. When the masons finished
their task the true mission of the ston
was discovered, it was to serve as
monument for the good doctor whe
he should "be no more"
The top of the stone had bee
smoothed off, and these lines cut int
the surface:
Here rests refugee.
