Choosing a Minister.

The parish kirk of Driechton had
been rather unfortunate in its minis
ters, two of them having gone off in
decline within twelvemonth of their
appointment, and now, after hearing a
number OF candidates for the vacancy,
the members were looking forward
with keen interest to the meeting at
which the election of the new minister
was to take place. "Weel, Marget,"
asked one female parishioner of an
other, as they foregathered on the road
one day, "wha are you gaun to vote
for?" "I'm just thinkin I'll vote for
none O. them. I'm no muckle O a
judge, an it'll be the safest plan," was
Marget's sagacious reply. "Toots,
woman, if that's the way OF, vote wi
me-" San hoo are you gaun to vote1
"I'm gaun to vote for the man that
thinkfhas the soundest lungs, an Il
no bother us wi deein again in a
hurry."-SfOttiSA american.

Got His Money Back.

Thirty-three years ago, in the good
old State of Pennsylvania, two young
people decided to get married by the
elopement route, says the Ashland
(ky.) Republican. Living at different
points, and on account of parental
objection, it become necessary that
they meet upon neutral ground. So
the lovesck swain forwarded to his
turtle dove fifty good, sound dollars
to enable her to fly to him, but alas
for human hopes, the young lady's
father intercepted the letter and
pocketed the money. He likewise
intercepted the letters that followed,
until the young man, disgusted at the
silence of the one he loved, tore her
image from his heart and set his cap
for another. Years passed both
parties to the little romance married
and moved from the Keystone State,
the young lady to a far Western
State, the young man to Ashland,
KY, where he now draws a salary as
an efficient city official. This morn
ing the worthy Judge was dumbfound-
ed to receive letter from his sweet
heart of boyhood days, inclosing a
portrait OF herself and just think-a
check for $50. She had at last
learned of the part played by her
father in separating them and hasten
ed 20 return the money he hypothe-
Gated, and the official-well, he got
the check cashed.

Why Attempt to Cure

catarrh by the use of so-called blood
remedies >? That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is self evident when
you reflect that attacks are always
due to sudden climatic changes or
exposure, and occur most frequently
during the winter and spring, though
the blood is as pure then as in sum-
mer or fall. A remedy which quickly
relieves and cures the catarrhal at
tacks has been found in Ely's Cream
Balm.

Fond of Their Priest.

According to the remarkable story
which comes from the village Of Santa
Marina. in Abruzzi, it is not alone
the Anglican curate who boasts of be.
ing loved beyond all other men" by
the ladies of the parish to which he is
attached. The priest of the village
named appears to have been able, with.
out the adventitious aid OF any quail
ication for matrimony. to similarly en-.
dear himself to his fair parishioners
whose attachment was so strong that,
when their spiritual director was
transferred to another sphere OF duty
they went even to the length Of resist
ing his departure from among them by
physical force. Subordinating all pos
sible mutual jealousies in the face OF
a common danger, they held firmly tc
each other. and the soldiers had to
charge them in order to get him away
So resolute was their resistance tina,
aot until one OF them was killed and
several others injured was it possible
for the too well-beloved priest to be
dragged from their midst and escorted
from the village. On the whole, per.
haps, the slipper-working and church.

nine devotion to the clergy, in vogue

And soon he travelled hence;

Great Diving Feat.

The greatest diving feat ever achiev-
ed was in moving the cargo Of the ship
Cape Horn. wrecked off the coast Of
South America, when an English diver
named Hooper made seven descents to
a depth of over 200 feet, remaining at
one time AZ minutes under water. An
authority states that the greatest depth
to which man has been known to de-
scend does not exceed 220 feet, which
is equivalent to pressure of ssh
pounds TO the square inch.

Did you ever stop to think what
indigestion really means ? 1t means
simply that your stomach is tired. If
our legs are tired, we ride. The
horse and the steam engine do the
work. Why not give your stomach a
ride ; that is, let something else do its
work. Foods can be digested outside
of the body. All plants contain di-
gestive principles which will do this.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial con-
tains digestive principles and is a
preparation designed to rest the sto-
mach. The Shakers themselves have
such unbounded confidence in 1t that
they have placed 10 cent sample
bottles on the market, and it is SAID
that even SO small quantity proves
beneficial in a vast majority of cases.
All druggists keep it.

A
SIS Nursing
DOLG IN for IS cents.

The "Best Nurser" is worth
$25 to any mother-we think
more. Why? Because it will
prevent wind-colic, collapsed nip
pie, cross baby.
The plan of this bottle is simple,
yet scientific. In the bottom of
the bottle is valve. AS fast as
the milk is drawn the valve
allows the air to enter, this pre-
vents the child from sucking in
wind because the air comes in back
of the food, not through the
nipple, which causes so much
wind-colic.
If there were only few "Best
Nursers" they would be worth
$25 each, but we will give you
all you want for 25 cents apiece,
complete with nipple and valve.
