Not Exactly Right
Not Sick Enough for the Bed or Well Enough

A Minister'S Wife APPLY Describes a Well Known Condition and
Tells How 1t Was Overcome.

There are thousands of people in all
walks of life, particularly at this seq
son, who + "not exactly right" and
yet are not sick, for whom a single
bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla would do
a world OF good, as it has done for
others. Business and professional men
as well as the busy housewife are es-
pecially susceptible to this debilitated
feeling. It is the peculiar combination
of the best tonic, anti-bilious, diuretic
and Alternative agents of the vegetable
kingdom, carefully and scientifically
combined, which enables Hoods Sar-
saparilla to reach simple as well as
serious ailments when all other medi-
cines fail. Read Mrs. Hunts letter:
&C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass:
"Dear Sirs:-I trust that the publica-
tion of my testimonial may serve to intro
duce Hoods SarsapariIla to many who

A DANGEROUS BILL.

There has been prepared, and
the same ~faYorably reported by a
joint committee of Senate and
House, a bill to be introduced in
the present Legislature that con-
tains a clause which for novelty
of conception, insidiousness of de-
sign and sweeping effect is with>
out a parallel in all the annals of
n~efarious legislation in any State
or country.
The clause in question provides
that no mortgage, bond, open &C
count, whether solvent or insolr
vent, promissory note, or other
evidence of indebtedness, shall be
collectible, unless the same shall
be duly stamped, yearly, by the tax
lister.
Should this clause be enacted in
to law, it will have the effect Of
entailing countless difficulties and
inestimable loss upon the vast ma
jority of the citizens of our Com
monweal, of every. a%vocation, and
it will bear with especial griev-
ance upon the farming element Of
the State, who, at certain seasons
of the year, are compelled to seek
and have credit. This bill de
stroys credit, as well as conf
dence.
Imagine. for example, the
numerous subscribers to the
Daily and Weekly ARGUS, whose
account runs from year to year;
and yet if we failed to list each
account of this great army Of
names, separately and have the
same stamped by the list taker.
the same would thereupon be-
come illegal, and uncollectible.
And so with every merchant and
his time customers throughout
the State; so with every bank
and its customers; and so, too,
every bank depositor would have
to submit his private bank book to
the list-tsker and have the same
stamped, otherwise he could
not withdraw his money from
the bank, or collect it by law, if
the bank should see fit to refuse
to cash his checks or pay him
his money on demand.
This is no overdrawn picture.
It is a simple statement Of the
effect and scope of this bill,
should it become a law; and the
same has been favorably reports
ed by the joint committee of the
two Houses.
Is il not time for a general ups
rising against this proposed law?
The most vital interests and the
general safety Of the State de-
mand that this bill be defeated.

prevailed upon her husband to take it to
build him up. I have also given Hoods
Sarsaparilla to my two little girls, one
nearly 3 years old, who is not strong, con-
sequently languid, and the other, Is years

WHERE'S MOTHER?

Do not these words appeal to
you and to me? What a troop of
memories come dashing through
the brain as we think of-Mother.
1t may be that she has gone on
that journey which earth's nils
lions have travelled, and we shall
not gaze again into those loving
eyes until we shall see her face to
face in the great company of those
who have sswashed their robes and
made them white in the blood of
the Lamb"
Mother is the best friend any
boy or girl ever had. But sad,
sad to relate, many boys and girls,
and grown people, too, brought
wrinkles, instead of smiles, to that
dear old face, and strewed thorns,
instead of roses, along her path
way. The past is gone forever,
but in the great resurrection morn,
as we enter that innumerable
tuA CAO hlSG HuoSClOu, We
think, we shall ask will be 'sWhere
is Mother?''
The following beautiful poem
suggested the above thoughts +:
Bursting in from school or play.
This is what the children say:
Trooping, crowding, big and small,
On the Threshold, in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
"Where's mother?:"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again:
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won
"Where's mother?"
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may valnly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace:
Let us love her while we may,
Well for US that we can say,
"Where's mother?"
Mother with untiring hands
At the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone
OF the children as they cry,
Ever as the days go by,
Where's mOther?"
