A Wonderful VitaIizing Remedy
for Body and Mind.

Rev. w. d. Shea, of the North Geor-
gia Conference, gives his experience in
the use of the tablets:
1.-TWO years ago | realized that / was
a broken down old man, and felt the in
tirmities common to old people-loss of
memory, step faltering, and felt that my
life work was about done. Seeing an
advertisement in the Wesleyan Christi
an Advocate in regard to the wonder
full effects of Haggard's Specific Tablets,
and having known DR.. Haggard init
mately for twenty years, decided to
try his remedy. l found immediate
good results, refreshing sleep, better
appetite and restored circulation, with
increasing vitality, and | now take
pleasure in testifying to the benefcent
results of my own case and commend
ing DR.. Haggard and his valuable dis
coveries to all who need a wonderful
vitalizing remedy for body and mind.

ISAAc Newton.

Isaac Newton was once examining
a new and very fine globe, when a
gentleman came into his study who
did not believe in God, and declared
that the world we live in came by
chance. He was much pleased with
the handsome globe, and asked {:
"Who made it?" Nobody" an
swered Sir Isaac; "it just happened
here" The gentleman looked up in
amazement at the answer, but soon
understood what it meant. Who
can say that this beautiful and won
derful world came by chance, when
he knows that there is not a house
twig, or picture, or anything in it
but had maker?

son is finally sufficiently candid
t. confess that the fight is on,
and sufficiently sincere to openly
avow his position againt the peo-
pie. If Altgeld becomes a Robe

Henry George a Marat, who can
say that the responsibility for
such a result will rest upon the
shoulders of the struggling mil
lions whose only crime is that
they ask for the right of eNis-
tence, rather than upon the few
with the power of wealth, who
while reveling in luxury, deny to
honest toll its just dues, and in
the confidence of their power in
solently refuse the smallest mea-
sure of relief demanded by the
people? Can Mr.. Watterson clear
his conscience by simply pro-
claiming the existence of danger?
If he fails to use what influence
he may have with the money
power, which he has served so
faithfully, for the righting of the
wrongs of its influence, would
none of the responsibilities for a
catastrophe approaching the
reign of terror fall upon his head?

DEMoCRATS are delighted over
the trend of politics in Kentucky,
says the FarmersyiIl Times. The
registration law of Kentuaky re-
quires the voter to declare his
party afiliadon when he enrolls
his name in the registry books.
Under this system it is easy to
procure pretty accurate fore
cast of the ensuing elections re-
suit. Nearly all of the towns and
cities which give Bradley and
Mckinley majorities show heavy
Democratic gains in the registra-
ton. Louisville, which was the
center of the biggest Democratic
revolt last year, now exhibits a
clear Democratic majority of
5000. Gains proportionately
heavy are noted in the same way
at Lexington, Frankfort, Cow
ington, Newport, Paducah,
greensboro and other large
centers in which there was a
falling off in the party strength
two years ago and again year
ago.

THE Forney Messenger volun-
teers this sensible advice to a
class of people who can be found
in every community: There
are young men in every town
who wear good clothes, sport
livery rigs and deny themselves
nothing, but when asked to pay
a bill they owe to some one who
supposes they are honest, reply
that they have no money. Are
you one of them? If so, the best
thing you can do is to deny
yourself of few luxuries, until
you have saved enough to pay
the people who trusted you. Pay
their bills and you can meet
them with an honest counte-
nance. You will find that your
standing in the world is higher
with a ducking suit on with your
debts paid, than it would be if
you were dressed in purple and
fine linen and you owe every
body. A few cimhn- headed
pirls may prefer you in the latter
garb but they are not the kind
that would make you a better
hall"

is buried beyond the hope of
resurrection" the Courier-Jour-
nal scents danger in the air. In
characteristic three-column
serial yesterday morning Mr..
Watterson reviews the situation.
He starts out by proclaiming .
truth which intelligent men have
not failed to see. cat no time
since civil and religious liberty
was established in the United
States has the self-governing
principle found itself more dis
tinctly on trial than at this mo-
ment." That proposition is be-
yond question, but that Mr.. Wat
terson has misconceived the
causes which have brought about
the teat, and that he has failed
to understand the underlying
principle which has ever guided
the process of man in his upward
march from the savage tribe to
civilized society is demonstrated
in his comparison of existing con-
ditions to the state of France
preceding the French revolution,
and the conclusions he reaches.
Every one in any degree familiar
with the history of those times
will agree that there is a striking
similarity, but Mr.. Watterson
seems to have misunderstood the
underlying forces and the results
of that great event in history, as
he misconceives the causes of
existing conditions in this coun-
try and the inevitable results that
must follow.
The reign Of sterror was the
penalty ral paid for
centuries of transgressioH against
the rights of man, ard with |
all its blood and desrue- |
ton, with all the horror of |
that climax of the longI
series of wrongs it was purify

long as the world lasts. The
of mankind are not cruel
and unjust until driven to des-
peration by the hand of the OPP
pressor. The luxury the hcen-
tiousness, the corruption, the

down the great masses of the
French people strikingly cores

masses who produce
the wealth by the plutocrats into
whose Golfers it is concentrated.
g The wages of sin is DEATH"
and in the reign of terror the
French institutions that permit
ted the great wrongs against the
people paid the penalty. If we
refuse to learn the lessons of
history, if we close our eyes to
the true condition of affairs in
this country today, if we fail to
the real causes which
have put the self-governing

A Queer Vermont Township,
From the Boston Evening Trauscript


In Windsor county, VT. is about as queer
town as there is in the United States.
Its name is Baltimore. and it possesses lit
tie OF interest save history In which none
OF its Inhabitants express the slightest
pride Baltimore is fairly old, as Ameri-
can towns go. having been set off from
Cayendish and organized In 1793. 1t then
had 20 presumably ambitious and hopeful
inhabitants. but every census taken since
then has revealed steady growth-down-
ward In 1890 the place had lost one citi-
zen. and the subsequent record stands as
follows: In lSl0. 2D7 inhabitants; 1870. 2l4
1890 1f9: 1910, 155; 1880, 124; 1850 1I6; 1870.
SO; 1881 II. and 1890 Ga. Today the number
is 80. and one of the 80 spends his winters
In the Soldiers Home at Brattleboro'.
Nothing ever happened in the town, not
even crime. and II has no distinguished
sons or daughters. The houses are scat
tered over the territory included within
Baltimore's limits. nowhere forming any-
thing like village. and there is no store.
no church. no post office. nor even a cider
mill. The people are prosperous enough, as
Vermont farmers define prosperity, but
they keep moving away whenever oppor-
tunity offers. and nobody ever moves in.
II Is twenty years since a wedding took
place there.

mined whether the propensity goes with
the red hair, or, Is merely n frequent coin

observed this Intellectual phenomenon in a
very interesting case,iI A sdozen children
were called up to recita little poems The
school room was crowded and the red
haired little boy was sitting close to the
reciters. He knew every piece that was
said or sung. He repeated each one half

pupil that was saying It. Some of them
1altered ever poems aot thoroughly con-
