A STANDARD WoRk-WEB
sT2R's UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY
I, cannot have missed the obser.
ya,ion of the reader and student
,ha, there has sprung up, during the
last few wears, an absorbing desire
upon the part OF publishers Of some
OF the large Dictionaries to see how
many newly invented words they
can get between the covers of their
works In this process they seem
to scour the streets for new words
aud give to the ffeetipg slang phrase
the sanction of dictionary authority
before it has received the nint mar k
OF good usage.
When one wants work prepared
with care. one recommended tor its
practical, useful knowledge, and
whose claim TO merit is not based
upon the ground that it contains
few more ephemeral words than
some other. he buys a Webst er's In
ternationaI Dictionary. AS the Holy
Book is the religious guide and
counselor OF the civilized world, SO
Webs,ers Dictionary is the guide
aud never failing counselor OF the
student and man OF letters. Other
works may contain more words
may be more prolusely illustrated
aud have bri ghter co1ors used IN
printing; but Noah Webster is FIRST
in the hearts of his couutrymen" a.
an educational guide and source OF
useful knowledge. There is mere
kernel and less she'll and husk in
Webster than in any other dictiou
ary published.

TEN YEARS YOUNGER.
A Happy Husbands Story.

"My wife," writes fond husband,
looks ten years younger since she
began to take DR.. Greene's Nervura.
She was in terrible condition. She
began to be nervous several years ago,
did not notice it at first, but she
gradually grew worse. After little
she could not sleep. She lost her APP
petite. Then she became irritable and
1norose, and from the sweetest and
best tempered woman in the world she
became shrewish and hysterical. FL
nally she began to fade away. You
know there is a difference between
women who grow old naturally and
women who fade out from the effects
of disease. l think l am as devoted
and patient as any husband, but
must confess that my wife's unfortu-
nate condition was a sore trial. l do
not know what would have become of
us if things had gone on as they were.
The change for the better came sud
denly. There was a complete trans
formation within a few days. Sound
sleep and a hearty appetite came as
nervousness and irritability went.
did not know what the matter was
until she told me that she had been
impressed by the sincerity and COM
mon sense of DIR. Greene's advertise
ments, and had been taking his Merry
ura. From misery and despondency
she is now the happiest person in the
world, with the possible exception of
myself"

service and the regular program followed.
A large number of delegates were pres

most attractive feature of the whole pro-
gram was the Junior Exercises" by the
Springfield children, led by Miss Mary

son of what the little folks can do in this
line of work We were favored with
excellent vocal and instrumental music in
both sessions. The ladies spread boun-

royalty entertained.

appear and Rev. 0. S. Davis played the
