EDITOR JoURRAL:-F From childhood
l was taught 10 love and reverence old
age and lalways thought what grand
ma,said srwhat she did was just right,
and ] suppose 10 is the same with the
children OF today, and how very care
ful ought grandparents TO be ia the
example they are setting. Oh how
my heart has been made 10 ache, aad
the hot tears flow by reading the ac-
count OF the old peoples dance. Dear
old folks, II you viii read your Bible,
as you have not done for forty years,
you Will surely see that Christ never
set such an example nor taught us too,
but he said: Repent ye for the King
dom OF Heaven Is at hand" Please
KAN Inc yourselves by Gods word and
foe II you are ready for the Kingdom

undignitied and unjudicial conduct as
to nttcr protest against the lesoing
law officer OF the government in q
public manner, and furnish the news
papers a copy Of their communication

1t is very evident that there will be

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured


with local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is blood
or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is a reg
ular prescription. 1t is composed OF
the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting di-
rectly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

SPANsARps AS INVENTORS.

War Bulletins tho Highest Typs, Appar-
entity OF What They Have Produced
The Spanish government il one of the
Oldest organized in the world. The
Spanish nation is ono Of the oldest main
tanning intact ito official identity in
Europe. In many of the arts and sci
cnccs. ns we'll IA in war, commerce, nav
igntion andgeographical research. Span
iards have taken high rank, but for
some reason Spaniards have been of
very little note as inventors. The high
est type of modern Spanish invention
would appear to be in the war bulletin.
There are few useful or ingenious in
vcntions which are attributed to men
OF Spanish birth or ancestry. Cannon
were used by the Spaniards nearly 600
years ago, and before their use by
either the English or the French, but
these cannon were brought into Spain
by the Moors. The invention OF the
microscope is nacribed 10 a German,
OF %unpowder TO q Hindoo. of printing

Vienna, OF photography 20 a French
man, OF the paddock TO n German, the
pendulum to an Italian, the mariner.

an Egyptian, hats to Swiss resident

battery to an Italian. the balloon to q
Frcnchman. the barometer to an Ital-

or, the thermometer to Calico, an Ital-
ian, the velocipedc (thc forerunncr of
the bicyclc) to German. md the print
ing press to q Dutchman. But il docs
not appear that in any of these inven-
tons (either in originating or perfect
ing them) my Spnniard took q prom
inent part or, indeed, any part what
ever.
In modern inventions, as the records
OF the patent Office establish, Americans
stand not only ut the head, but so far
ahead OF the people OF other countries
as to render unnecessary any compari-
on. In all mechanical cont triynnces, and
especially those used in manufactures
or in improved and progressive ngricul-
tural operations, Americans stand first,
md at the foot OF the list, among civil
/, Ized nations, are the Spaniards. In
the Sixteenth century, Seville alone had
10000 silk looms; there are now only
5000 in all Spain. Spain Is the only
European country in which manufactur.
ing industry has gone backward during
the lsat half century.-N. Y. Sun.

which had just swallowed n young
koodoo buck, oil except tho

native recognized the horns ~ those
OF buck he owned, and he ran nnd
got sticks and pinned the serpent.
which ,wss dormant. to tie ground.
Thsn. lio got hold Of tho horns and
pulled and twisted. IJo got tlis buck
out inch by inch, until hali its body

and the boy foil over on his back. DO.
fore ho had time TO think twice, the
snake, relieved OF his load OF mutton
