The 'old Roman" on Good Roads.

There are certain names that always
attract attention, names that belong to
men whose judgment has weight and
an account of whose deeds is always
interesting
Among such names, in this country,
is that of the late ex-senator Allen G..
Thurman, of Ohio, the cold Roman,
or, as his associates and political
friends delight in calling him, "The
noblesU Roman of them all. He
served in high state offices in Ohio
and for a long time in the United
States Senate. In 1883 he was the
candidate for president with Mr..
Cleveland. Few men so long in poll
tics had so many personal friends, or
whose judgment was SO often referred
to.
1t is interesting, at this time, when
there is so widespread a sentiment in
favor of good roads, so general that it
extends to all portions of the country,
to know what this great statesman,
who for fifty years was in public life,
thought of the efforts being made i'll
that direction A few months before
his death Jealous member of the
League of American Wheelmen was
talking with Mr.. Thurman on the SUD-
ject and went away delighted at what
the "Old Roman" had said, which was
as follows: = | have been in public life
n h0v
taken part in the discussion of many
great questions, have helped to solve
many vexed problems. We're |
young man. again, and in public life,
the matter which [ would give my most
earnest and constant attention would
be the securing to this country, to the
farmers, the cities, people of all classes,
the best possible system of good roads
There is an opening in this line, for the
right kind of 4 man, to make himself
great name, if, indeed, not president Of
the United States. | both congratu
late and thank you, young gentlemen,
for the part you are taking in senti-
ment building in behalf of good roods
The country needs them; the city
needs them, everybody needs them.
When a man like Senator Thurman,
known and respected from one end of
the country to the other, by men of all
nationalities, all religions and all poll
tics thus expresses himself, there GER
tainly is ample excuse for the best
minds of all classes to lend aid in the
accomplishment of that which he
deemed so important to accomplish.

such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
stefan he went to tie store and secured
a bottle of it. His wife did not ap-
prove of Mr. RowlaDd's purchase at
first, bnt nevertheless applied the Balm
thoroughly and in an hours time was
able to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache sor a pain
and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much good

THE ANGELS SONG.

Joshua s. Ttylor, HcHricO co"Htg I'jrGinii
We hear sweet chimes across the snow
That tell of times of long ago,
When Christ, the King, was born;
And though two thousand years have flown
Since first these dulcet notes We're known,
They sweeter come this morn.
Yes, peace on earth, good will to men,
Are sweeter words than they were when
First sung by angel bands;
For now their soft, melOdiouS tones
Vibrate throughout the various zones.
And in all goodly lands.
Two thousand years of strife and blood
Would seem enough to make men good,
And yet they are not so;
But every year seraphic strains
Are waited from the Syrian plains,
To ease this world Of woe.
Oh. heed these strains, you men of strife
And lead and live better life.
And from your turmoil cease!
Just listen how the angels cry
Of "Glory unto God on high.
And on the earth Of peace =
And you who bear life's crushing load.
Come, rest beside the weary road.
And down your burdens fling
For this is the transmitted morn
On which the "Prince of Peace was born
And all the angels sing.
The glorious times are Fastening on
For which the 'King of kings was born
Times by the bards foretold--
When Peace shall reign o er all the earth
And men be filed with joy and mirth.
And have an age of gold.
Old Father Time will soon be here
TO usher in another year,
And with it blessings bring;
Oh, as he rings the old year out.
May all mankind then raise the shout
Which now the angels sing

a pangerou. PRACTICE.

Young persons, especially yodng wo.
men, who are particular about their
personal appearance. are given to much
worry over moles and similar facial
blcmishes, and often resort to severe
applications in the hope of removing
them. Their efforts are usually fruit
less unless they employ a surgeon. who
makes a clean and scientific excision.
The danger of irritating these growths
Is not generally understood. Several
cases are on record where accidental
bruises have resulted in spreading the
growth. In n instance the mole de-
veloped enormous spreading tenden-
cies, covering the entire surface Of the
body, resulting, iirally. in death. Ply
sicians frequently warn their patients
that such blemishes should not be in
terfered with, but rarely do they insist
with sufficient ~earnestness. The fact
is that a mole is a potential sarcoma,
and if disturbed at all it should be
completely remoyed.-New York Ledg-

Opposiuon to the overskirt.

Like the gowns OF the past winter,
the cold-weather frocks will show elab-
oroately-trimmed skirts, and a strong
suggestion Of the double or overskirt
has found its way TO some Of the new
est and handSomest creations for both
house and street wear. This effect is,
however, being brought about by a
trimming of some kind employed so as
10 give the desired effect without the
additional weight of an overdress
formed of draped material. Sensible
women win fight against and positive
ly refuse to welcome the return of the
old-time overskirt, with its loops and
bouffantly-draped effects, which once
were the Il of aching hips and tired
backs, to say nothing of the e~Xtrava-
giant measure of materials used in
their complicated construction.-Wo-
mans Home Companion.
