Land where the cypress, majestic and solemn,
Enfolds in It's shadow Il silvcry gloom;
Land where the prairies are frosted with lilies,
And yellowlcafcd jasminrs are always III

Land Of the cane-lnakc, the biiteIn. the bayou,
Land where the crocodile watches his prey;
Land where the grandeur of solitude strikes us
When under huge oaks or nnagrolias we stray ;
Land where the sunlight with shadow is blend

And beauty is varied wherever we gaze!
Land where the flowers are drinking in bright
ness,
While noon i'll the woods wears Il twiliGhtcl
haze.
Land whele the maidens are worthy Of Eden,
Land where the men are chivalric and brave;
Land where the hero lives ever in story,
Land where the foeman e'er found him a grave !
Land Of DeSoto, Of Bienvilic. OF TOnti,
Land where no stranger STOOD ever alone.

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietoro of the Bur
ton House, w. Va. and one of the most
widely known men in the Stare, was
cnred of rheumatism after three years
of suffering. He says Il have NOT
sufficient command Of language to CON
vey any idea OF what | suffered. my
physicians told me that nothing could
be done for me and my friends wer"
fully convinced that nothing but death
would relieve me of my suffering. In
Juue, 1904, Mr.. Evans, then salesman
for the Wheeling Drug Co.. recon-
mended Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At
this time my foot and limb were swol-
len to more than double their normal
size and it seemed to me my leg wonld
burst, but oon after | began using the
Pain Balm the swelling began to de-
crease, the pain to leave, and o |
consider that | am entirely cured. For

Good Money Is Good Anywhere,

While a government can within its
territory defino that which shall con-
stitute legal tender in satisfaction Of
contracts past and future it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value Of
its money, for money is q commodity,
and its value is determined in the mar
kets Of the world under the laws Of
trade, and the laws of trade, like the
laws of nature, arc stronger and more
farreaching than any constitutions or
statutes. The best money is the money
of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is exchangeable at par,

mint it is isgued, but also in the markets
