then your head, you become listless, tired

not use plasters and liniment on the back,
which only relieve but do not reach the

pain and cure the root of the trouble, at

proven that it will cure.

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold.
Than rank or title thousand fold.
Is healthy body-mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that feels for a neighbors woe.
And shares his joys with genial glow
With sympathies great enough to hold
All men as brothers-is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in the humblest
sphere;
Doubly hlest with content and health.
Untried by lust or cares of wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot,
For man and mortals on Natures plan
Are the crucial test of the gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF sons of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold Is the poor mans sleep.
And the balm which soothes his slumbers
deep
Brings sleeping draughts to the downy
bed
Where luxury pillows It's aching head.
His simpler opiate. labor deems,
shorter road to the land of dreams.

little town. His ranch was presided
over 1--WE quote Abe again) "by black
eyed, tallisb woman, as Jake said was
his sister, but no one didn't try to make
love to her on that account. Jake had
saloon and ran game in town, and
thar wasn't no one more poplar with
the boys. And then he was cookbook
ing feller, and always dressed as neat
as pin and looked as smooth andslick
as quicksilver"
1t was Jake McCabe who confirmed
the suspicion against James Nesbitt, or
1.-The professor" as they called that
gentleman. 1t happened in this way:
One morning Jake McCabe, who had
n good horse and was fond of riding out
at all hours, came galloping into town
and said he had discovered the body of
Tom Horstman, well-known prospect
or, about six miles from town, and that
as he came upon the body he saw two
men riding off-one of them was the
professor and the other his colored man,
Ike.
The vigilantes were in no humor for
investigation. This was the strongest
and clearest evidence they yet had, and,
without more ado, they surrounded
james Nesbitt's house and ordered him
out.
He obeyed and appeared to be very
cool for so great a criminal, till Jake Nc
Cabe, as spokesman of the party, point
edly told the mission of himself and
companions.
Then Prof. Nesbitt became indignant,
"and while he didn't swar," said Abe
Owen, "he acted TO me as If he was
innocent as the babe unborn. But then
some men kin do that when they're
guilty, and them that's innercent looks
jest as if they wasn't"
The professor said that he was a
botanist in the service of the Smith
sonian institute, and offered to show his
collections and his papers, but Jake
McCabe wouldn't hear to it.
''He was told that him and the black

People who belong to what is called
the best society" in large towns or
cities, says Henry Childs Merwin,
in Atlantic, are usually quite unco-
scious of the fact that society is
graded just as min nutely beneath them
as it is in the plane with whichthey are
familiar. But, in fact, every individual
in complex society, down to the beg
gar in the street or the tramp on the
highway, has his social position" The
city missionaries of Boston report,
with some astonishment, that great
social gap exists between the peanut
vender on the sidewalk and the peri
patetic organ grinder, and that the
children of the former are forbidden by
their parents to play with the children
of the latter. 1t is indeed asserted, and
with considerable truth, that mere
wealth is passport to the best society:
but this is less true in America than it
is in England, and less true in Aus
tralia than it is i'm America. The rea-
son is that in England the best society
is a state institution, and, therefore is
more sure of its position and can af-
ford to be less exclusive-to be more
hospitable not only to wealth, but also
tointellectand DISQUALIFICATION is pos
sible for the corresponding class in a
democratic country. Moreover, even
from the most aristocratic point of
view, a good reason can be given for
accepting wealth as substitute for
birth. The fact that a man has made
much money implies, as a rule, that
both his mind and his physical strength
are far above the average. From what
better stock, then, could the best So
ciety be recruited? This, of course, is
not the motive of the rich man's recep-
tion in good society; it might be better
described as natures reason for per-
mitting the anomaly.
