Three Doctors In Consultation.
From BenIaInan Franklin.

"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine i'm
the first place; what experience tells you
is best, to be chosen in the second place;
what reason Ii. O., Theory says is best is
to be chosen in the last place. But il
you can get DR.. inclination, Dr.. Ea-
perience and DR.. Reason to hold con-
sultation together, they will give you,
the best advice that can be taken"
When you have bad cold DR.. Inclina-
ton would recommend Chamberlain
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DIR. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to.
effect speedy and permanent cure. DIR.

SPANISH COURAGE.
1t Is Not Merely an Evnnescent Nnlor
But Ia Persistent and
DoKged.

The Spaniard has qualities which, II
not counterbalanced, ought to have as
sured him maintenance of the com
mandiug position which he held in the
sixteenth century. His intellect is
strong and quick, his imagination is
vivid, and before the censorship of the
inquisition had curbed its expression
his literature was the most promising
in Europe. When fully aroused his
perseverance is indefatigable. His
courage is undoubted-not a merely
eyanescent valor, flaming up on occa.
sion at the promise of success, but a
persistent, obstinate, dogged quality,
as much to be dreaded in defeat as in
victory, and sustained by the pride of
race which leads him to think all other
races his interiors. The unyielding
steadfastness of the Spanish tercios on
the disastrous field of Rocroy was par.
alleled in the defense of Saragossa,
The exploits of the conquistadores in
the new world display tenacity OF
daring amid unknown dangers which
has rarely been equaled, and perhaps
never surpassed. The practical efficien-
cy of this Characteristic is heightened
moreover, by a remarkable, callous in.
difference as to the means to be en-
ployed in accomplishing a given pur-
pose. Spanish Legislation is full of the
sternest laws, enacted in utter disre.
gard of the contingent and ulterior
consequences, provided the immediate
object in view can be effected. Alva's

COLORS FOR ELDERLY LADIES.
There Is n Great Variety from Which
TO Choose in Bonnet
Trimmings.

Very light colors bring out the faded
appearance of face, and black is dead
ening in effect, unless relieved by Law
ender, cream, dark red, etc. All ma
terials are worn by ladies past their
youth, and such trimmings as jet, col
ored passementerie, lace and moderate
amount of ribbons. In selecting ma
terials avoid broad stripes and plaids, as
they attract too much attention. Black.
dark and medium brown, medium and
stone gray, dark green, garnet, laven-
der, violet, reddish purple, cream, navy
blue, a bit of cardinal or yellow in mil
linery are all allowable for elderly
matrons and spinsters. White can be
worn in the house at any age, but the
duller colors are more appropriate for
the street. Large bonnets are only worn
by very old ladies. The toque bonnets
with strings are equally suitable for
them. \ black lace, straw, felt or let
toque with number seven black velvet
ribbon tied under the chin, black tips,
lace-black or white-and bit of color,
as velvet rosette or flower, is always
becoming over gray hair, and not too
gay for even a grandmother. A black
uet veil, with few ifany dots, and black.
brown, tan, dark or light gray kid gloves
are among the necessary items of an
elderly lldy's toilette. Nowadays tha
full capes reaching well around the hips
are convenient for them in black satin
or cloth, velvet or brown ladies' cloth.

NO CRIMINALS THERE.
Northern Island Peopled by In
dlans Which Has n Model
Community.

1t is like going back to the old Puri-
tan days to read the story of certain
bit of American territory peopled q
few years ago. Not even the voyagers
in the Mayhower could take the laws
of God and weave them into their daily
life as a community with more single
ness of heart than the Inhabitants of
Annette island, Alaska, have displayed.
They are known as the Metlakahtla
Indians, and at the time of their com
ing to the island had made some prog
ress in civilization. To-day they are
citizens of whom any country might
be proud. They have sworn allegiance
TO the American government - they
were originally from British America
and have received part of the island
for their own.
The largest church and the largest
congregation in Alaska belong to these
Indians. What sort of citizens they
have made, and from whence their civ
ilization has sprung, may be learned
from a declaration read every year in
their town meeting. They have a town
hall to hold the meeting in, and a good
schoolhouse beside. Once a year, at
the town meeting, they read the fol-
lowing declaration:
eve, the people of Metlakahtla, Alas
ka, in order to secure to ourselves and
our posterity the blessings of a Chris
tian home, do severally subscribe to
the following rules for the regulation
of our conduct and town affairs:
First, to reverence the Sabbath and
to refrain from all unnecessary secular
work on that day; to attend Divine
worship; to take the Bible as our rule
of faith, and regard all true Christians
as our brethren, and to be truthful,
honest and industrious.
Second, to be faithful and loyal to
the government and laws of the United
States.
Third, to record our votes when
called upon for the election of the town
council, and promptly to obey all by
laws and orders imposed by the said
council.
Fourth, TO attend to the educatio, OF
our children, and keep them at school
as regularly as possible"
There are several more promises
made, but these are specimens. How
well this declaration is kept may be
judged from the fact that no liquor
is sold in the town, and that there has
never been a criminal sent from the
town to Sitka, the capirar of Alaska.
1t is little wonder that some of the
Alaskan tribes have joined these In
dians. The Metlakahtla Indians are
industrious and successful, their prin-
cipal industry being salmon-canning.

VAN BUREN, ARKANSAS, SATURDAY. AUGUST 6, 1898.
Ills sad and sudden death my FIRST

ellis sad and sudden death my first
thought was, who will feed the young
birds now, for no one can nestle them
and carcss them like mother. How
lost and helpless are little children
when their mother dies. What Chris
tian faith must we have to be recon-
ciled to the will of God and to trust
them to His watchful care. But the
promises are multiplied over and
over. Our Heavenly Father is the
God of the widow and the orphan.
Even with those promises, the death of
young mother is the saddest thing
in this troubled world, and only Prov
idenee can provide consolation for
it. His tender care of orphan chill
dren is His strongest proof of His love
to man. For 63 years George Muller
trusted Him to provide for the or
phans in his asylum in London. Flo
began with 20 and died with 2.100 un-
der his care. As their numbers in
creased his means increased and his
buildings were enlarged and his ac-
commodations improved and every
want supplied, and yet he never had
an endowment nor an annuity, nor did
he ever know to-day what money he
would have next week. The money
came generally from unexpected
sources and in varied sums, from Il
shilling to $500. He says in his
diary: 81 never had too much nor did
ever have too little. nor did |
ever feel the slightest apprehension
that God would fail me. The orphans
were His and | was but His agent and
my text in my prayers was open thy
mouth wide, and l will fill tt When
Muller died, few years ago at the
great age of SO, the orphanage was
costing near 100000 annually for it's
maintenance, and the money kept
coming in. He never sent out circu-
lar and never asked a man or wom-
an for dollar. He went to God. That
orphanage proves two things-that
God cares for orphans and that He an
swers prayers.
William T. Stead, of the Review of
Reviews, has written a most interest
ing character sketch of Muller in the
May number. If anyone is skepticaI
or unsettled upon this question of
prayer, let him read it, Our own DR..
Jacobs, who founded the Clinton or.
phanage many years ago, has had
similar experience on n humber
scale. He never refused an orphan
for lack of funds. The funds increase
as their numbers increase and like
Muller, he keeps on enlarging the in
stitution, and the money grows with
his wants. Providence is behind it all.

A DELICATE OPERATION.
Or. Short Successfully Removes a Cataract
From the Eye Of An Aged Lady, Re-
storing Her Sight after Four
Years Of Blindness.

DR.. w. Leland Short, our we'll
known oculist, removed a cataract
yesterday from the eye of Mrs.
Eliza Day, of Moran. The operation
was performed at the home of the
patients son, Thos. Day, In lola,
and DR.. Short was assisted by DR..
Glynn.
What lie known as cataract In the
eye is simply thickening of the
crystalline tense 80 that it becomes
opaque and fails to admit the light.
The only cure for it Is therefore the
removal OF this tense, and the opera
ton by which this is done is one of
the most delicate known to surgery.
Gladstone, the great English states
man, submitted to just this operation
a short time before his death, and he
paid the celebrated oculist who per-
formed it, ten thousand dollars. 1t
lie needless to say that DR.. Short does
not charge q similar fee, but in all
other respects the operation was just
as successful as that which relieved
Gladstone. Mrs. Day is IS years of
age. She lost one of her eyes many
years ago, and has been totally blind
in this one for four years. She saw
daylight this morning for the first
time in all that period, aud within a
few weeks will doubtless have her
sight fully restored.
The only anaesthetic used was CO.
caine, but the operation, which was
performed in three minutes, was
wholly painless.
lola is certainly fortunate in having
a resident oculist who is capable of
performing so delicate an operation
as this. and the REGISTER is pleased
to know that DR.. shorts practice is
steadily increasing.
