The Biz Hat In Church.

This is what happens TO the man be-
hind the hat. The preacher disappears
until nothing remains but a voice. And
with the hat standing against the spot
where the voice is, and the modulated
sentences breaking against it, how is
attention to be fixed upon the sermon?
The mind grows lax, the quiet and
sweetness CT the sanctuary tend to dis
traction, the hat fills the whole visi-
BILE universe, and involuntarily ones
thoughts center upon it. 1t is wonder
full construction. There is yellow rose
trembling OIL long stem with every
movement of the wearer's head, and one
begins to calculate the extent of its arc.
There are lunches of feathers disposed,
apparently, with view to preventing
anything from being seen between them
whichever way the hat is turned. And
there are stalactites of ribbon, upright
and immovable, which still further OBJ
scure the horizon. Occasionally one gets
momentary glimpse of the hand of
the preacher as it is stretched out in
gesticulation, but it seems a mere de-
tached fragment uselessly beating the
air. The preacher himself has disap-
peared as if he had never been. The
only thing visible when the hat is turned
for q moment is another hat of the same
kind farther on.-New York Observer.

personal LIBERTY"

We hear vast deal now days
about personal liberty"
You are taking away a mans per-
sonal liberty If you don't legalize a
saloon on every street corner,-and
a few between corners, s,-where man
can obtain a poisonous compound
that will wreck his health, madden
his brain, deaden his moral sense, ru-
in the comfort and happiness Of his
family, and in all ways make him a
curse to himself and to all around
him. Yes, this is taking away mans
personal liberty, and many poor
soul has passed through torments un-
speakable striving to win his way
back to right and manhood only to
be overcome by the overwhelming
temptation of the open saloon. In
our judgment it will be more "toler-
able" for the drunkard in the "last
day" than for him who putteth the
cup to his nelghbor's lips, and more
tolerable for him than for the govern
ment that makes such an act lawful.

DRAM SHOPS.

The dram shop is the great caldron
of iniquity in our time, Anacharsis
said that the vine bore three grapes;
the first was pleasure, the next was
drunkenness, and the next misery.
Every saloon above ground, or un-
der ground, is a fountain of iniquity.
1t may have license and it may go
along quite respectable for awhile,
but after awhile the cover will fall
off and the color Of iniquity be dis
played.
"Oh," says someone" you ought to
be easier on such q traffic as that
when it pays such large revenue to
he government, and helps support
your schools, and your great institu-
tions of mercy"
And then think Of what William
E. Gladstone said when men engag-
ed In the ruinous traffic came to him
and said their business ought to have
more consideration from the fact that
it paid such large revenue to the
English government. Mr.. Gladstone
said, "Gentlemen, don't worry your.
selves about the revenue; give me
thirty millions Of sober people, and
we'll have revenue enough and sur.
plus
We might in this country-this
traffic perished-have less revenue,
but we would have more happy
homes, and we would have more
peace, and we would have fewer peo
pie in the penitentiary and there
! would be tens Of thousands OF men
who are now on the road to He'll who
would start on the road to Heaven. =

will show that it was moved, second

hire the teacher for Dist. No. 6 for A
months or balance of term. That
the vote of the board was divided be-
tween the two applicants, that there
will be nothing to show that one ap-
plication was considered void, both
being voted on. One Of the appli-
cants did present a certificate dated
April 4th, 1896, valid one year from

terms above provided, but there was
written upon it: This certificate
extended to June 10th, 1897, etc."

offer testimony To this particular property Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills is George Marshall,

case il was necessary to use only few boxes
of the pills to restore him to the full possess

had become almost useless through long
and serious illness, bat in a surprisingly
brief period, through the agency of this
wonderful medicine, they were capable OF
again performing their functions in regu-

Lucy Bennett, OF consumption, aged
10 years, Z months and s6 days. The
deceased was born July 18th, 1877, in
ReedviIle. O., and when but a small
child her parents moved to Deshler,
where she lived until about two years
ago, when they moved to Mansfield,
o. While there, she was united in
marriage to Geo. NARROW, OF that
city. Aug. Goth, 1896, and soon after
they moved to Shelby, o., where they
lived until about two weeks ago,
when she came home to her fathers,
Rev. Bennett. Since then she had
steadily gone down, so fast that 1t
was noticeable from day to day. She
passed peacefully away as the clock
was striking ten, Saturnay evening"
March 10th, 1897. She obtained her
education from our public schools,
and was once member OF the class
of '96. Nearly three years ago she
was forced to quit school on account
of the illness which resulted in her
death. She was always bright &C
tive pupil, and for this reason she
will be greatly missed by all her old
classmates. During the six months
of her married life she was true, low
ing and devoted wife; since Nov. she
had professed Christianity. She had
a knack of making friends wherev-
er she went, and therefore leaves
large circle of friends, father, mother,
five sisters, two brothers and loving
husband to mourn their loss. Funer-

Dearest Lucy thou hast left us

Ever ready to be kind

| All thy blessings left behind.

| SO much comfort thou astglven,
| so much better thou hast made us,

THE MENDlCANTS.

We are az mendicants who wait
Along the roadside in the sun.
Tatters of yesterday and shreds
OF morrow clothe us every one.
And some are dotards, who believe
And glory In the days of old,
While some are dreamers, harping stin
Upon IN unknown age of gold.
Hopeless or witless Not one heeds
As lavish time comes down the way
And tosses in the suppliant hat
One great new minted gold today.
But there be others, happier far,
The vagabondish sons of God,
Who know the players and the flowers
And care not how the world may plod.
They idle in the traffic lands
And loiter through the woods with
spring.
To them the glory of the earth
Is but to hear q blackbird sing.
They. too, receive each one his day,
But their wise hearts know many things
Beyond the sating of desire,
Above the dignity of kings.
One, I remember, kept his coin,
And laughing tipped it in the air,
But when two strolling pipe players
Came by he tossed it to the pair.
Spendthrift of Joy, his childish heart
Danced to their wild, outlandish bars
T. N supperless he laid him down
That night and slept beneath the stars

When person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste
is greater than the supply and 1t is
only question Of time when the end
must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble
is with the digestive organs. II you
can restore them to healthy condi-
ton you will stop the waste, put on
new flesh and cause them to feel bet
ter in every way. The food they, eat
will be digested and appropriated to
the needs of the system, and a normal
appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows a
wasting of bodily tissue because near
ly all consumptives have indigestion.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
restore the stomach to healthy con-
dition in vast majority Of cases.
