It's the Old, Old story, told over and over again since the dawn Of crea-
ton. The story of the heart. It's a theme that never wearies And yet
the saddest stories Of the heart are those Of its disorders. 1t has been the
most neglected organ in the body There are thousands Of cases Of heart
disease that never receive the proper treatment. The average doctor knows
little Of the heart, and treats the cases presented to him, as some other dis
order and in this manner, patients instead Of being cured, are made worse.
The testimony Of the lady whose portrait appears above is pertinent.
Dr. Miles discoveries, relating to the heart and nerves, mark a new era in
the treatment Of disorders of these most vital organs. Heart disease,
formerly considered beyond the pale of medical aid, has at last yielded the
victory to DR.. Miles New Heart Cure. The reports received by DR.. Miles
Medical Co, of cases where special advice is asked, show concusively that in
a majority Of cases complete cures follow the faithful use of Dr. Miles
Restorative Remedies. The few failures are generally due to NEGLIGENCE on
the part of the patient in not taking the remedies as directed.
"a severe attack of typhoid fever left me with heart trouble Of the
most serious nature. Nothing the doctors gave me seemed to have any
effect. They gave the very strongest of heart medicines, but to no avail i

my left side for more than three minutes at a time without great pain. My
heart seemed to miss BEATS and had smOthering spells, in which it seemed
every breath would be the last l should draw on earth.
We accidentally heard of DR.. Miles New Heart Cure and Restorative
Neryine, and as a last resort we purchased a bottle of each. After taking
the remedies a week, [ could be lifted in a chair and sit up an hour; In two

DIR. John Halls Future.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, May H.-Rev. Dr. John
Hail. the pastor of the greatest Presby-
terrain Church in America, who lately ex-
pressed his intention of resigning and then
decided to withhold the resignation for a
time, will, it is now known on good au-
thority, retire as soon as the recent dis
cussion and it's attendant excitement SUBJ
side Some have thought he would retire
when the half century of his ministerial
life expires in 1900 but it is known he will
not wait for that event provided he sees
his way clear to retire before. Two years
ago a committee on the selection of an
slstant pastor was named, with DR.. Hall
as its chairman. The chairman never called
the committee together, and hence no action
was possible further. Now discussion of
men is being had, and a meeting Of this
committee is to be held as soon as new
elders already chosen have been ordained.
The assistant will be called, if called at all,
with the important consideration added that
he is to succeed Dr. Hall upon the latter's
retirement Some names are mentioned, but
they cannot yea be published because the
owners of them have not been consulted.

CLERICAL STRATEGY.
Departments at Washington Want

New YORK Evening sun
During the early part Of the civil war
there was humorous writer at Washing

of Orpheus C. Kerr-who got a good deal
of fun out of the departments on the line OF

connoissances and expeditions having no
object much more serious than that of

was in a condition from rains and the
breaking up of frosts too horrible to admit
of opening campaign. There were then as
now in the War Office, in the treasury, and
In all other departments, certain number
of clerks whose jealousy lest an officer in
the field might get credit and popularity

office responsibility for all movements, and
when these were unintellgible, exclaimed

might not be improbable now to let the
men who do the fighting get all of the
credit. so long as they are left chargeable in
the public mind with all of the response

there will be no failure through their de-
fault In the face of the enemy. Any such
failure Will be due to faulty combination
alone, the responsibility for which these Of

tic circle is a great blessing; let us hope
that there has been no failure here. What
then? Has man achieved the highest posi-
bilities of his nature and made himself Sc
cure against every foe of human happiness?
The answer of our common experience is
mo" Age comes creeping on. By and by
the hand that was so skillful in the shop
loses it's cunning. The surgeon can no long
err trust himself to use the scalpel The
business man must lean upon his staff while
younger men direct the store, the factory,
the bank. Old age is no respecter of per-
sons or occupations. And perhaps the home,
around which have clustered the sweetest
memories of a lifetime, becomes dreary and
desolate. Loved ones go out, and age fingers
at the fireside alone.
Because these shadows gather round our
brightest hopes, is the struggle for ennobled
and happy manhood a profitless one? 1t
certainly will be, in the end, if somewhere
along life's pathway another battle is not
fought and won, the battle which is to de-
termine ones future destiny
Under what flag, what commander, will
you enlist?" is a question that confronts
every SOUL And there is no time when that
question can be grappled with SO successful
ly as in early life. 1t is the decisive battle
that must in the end crown with victory or
crush with defeat. Other decisions are i'm
portant only as they bear on this final de-
cision. Occupation is important because
useful life helps to the solution of this prob
lem. A happy home is important as step
ping stone to q home beyond the skies.
The mission of Jesus was to help in this
great conflict to grid with strength unto
the battle" He has done his part He has
revealed an omnipotent, loving Father wait
ing to receive his earth children. Each
mans destiny henceforth awaits his own
decision. Happy the man who has fixed
his eye on the unfading crown and fought
for victory, to whom is given the joy of
knowing that from an earthly occupation
which he honestly tried to fill he is to be
invested with high and lasting responsible
ties that out of an earthly home he faith
fully tried to build he is to step into one
of many mansions in heaven.
This is the victory that overcometh the

Unremembering Spring.

Spring is here, with the wind in her hair
And the violets under her feet.
All the forests have found her fair,
And her lovers have found her sweet.
Springs a girl in a lovely gown,
Little more than a child;
Bid her smile and the tears fall down;
Frown-and her laugh is wild.
Ay, for she has no heart, not she!
Hear her sing while you weep!
Spring wakes up without memory
Every year from her sleep.
While she slept we have lost our all,
Then she wakes and is glad.
Cries to us then to come at her call,
Wonders why are We sad?'
Stands by graves in the dress OF bride:
what is the drge We sing?'
If tell her that men have died,
what is Death?" says the Spring.
Spring, pass by, we have lived too long.
Take the primrose and go,
Lest you learn from the mortals song
All that the mortals know.

After the national colors which, of course,
take precedence of all other flags, comes the
jack, or, more commonly, the union jack.
This flag is simply the union" taken out
of the main colors, and it is exclusively the
distinguishing flag of the navy.
The President of the United States. who
is the head of the army and navy, Is en-
titled to the first ranking" Sag in the
country. The Presidents flag is a spread
eagle-the national -arms-mounted
on blue field, surmounted by curved
row of thirteen stars. 1t is five. feet six
inches long by four feet four inches wide,
is made of the finest quality of seamless
silk, and is trimmed with yellow fringe.
Next to the Presidents colors come the
flags of the secretaries of war and navy.
That of the secretary of war was adopted
as recently as March 3, 1897 1t is made of
scarlet silk, and is otherwise identical with
the Presidents flag, with the exception that
the thirteen stars are replaced by four

where we mounted and fell back to ford at
the edge of the town, which we crossed, and
joined our command on the north side of the
river.
Before crossing rode to SLIGHT elevation
between the deep cut of the railroad and
river, which was slightly in front of the left
flank of our line-of-battle. Here had view
of nearly the entire force of the enemy adj

our troops behind their slight protecting
works awaiting the attack. IL looked to ms
like an overwhelming force capable OF crush
ing the small body behind the parapets; but
i knew there were veterans behind those de-
lenses, and felt that they would give good
account of themselves. Wagner'S outlying
brigades had not been visible, or at least had
