How much property man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health The man who suffers from ill
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business mau The man who comes
10 his desk I'm the morning with a head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiness who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses rcstlessly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave a competence for his widow and or
phans Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accomplished
by work, and that health is secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man DR..

Song Saved his Life.

Two Americans who were crossing
the Atlantic met in the cabin on Sum
day night to sing hymns. AS they
sang the last hymn, "Jesus lover of my
SOUL" one of them heard an excellent
rich and beautiful voice behind him.
He looked around and, although he did
not know the face, he thought that he
knew the voice. So when the music
ceased he turned and asked the man if
he had been in the civil war. The
man replied that he had been a Con-
federate soldier.
"Were you at such place at such a
nigbtp" asked the first.
Eyes," he replied, land curious
thing happened that night which this
hymn has recsllt d to my mind. l was
posted on sentry duty near the edge of
wood. 1t was dark night and very
cold, and l was little frightened be-
cause the enemy was supposed to be very
near. About midnight when every
thing was very still, and 1 was feeling
homesick and miserable and weary 1
thought l would comfort myself by
praying and singing a hymn. / re-
member singing this hymn:
"All my trust in Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee bring
Cover my defenseless head
with the shadow OF Thy wing"
"After singing that a strange peace
came down upon me, and through the
long night felt no more fear"
Now" said the other, 'listen to my
story. l was Union soldier and was
in the wood that night with a party of
scouts, saw you standing, although /
did not see your face. My men had
their rifles focused upon you, waiting
the word to fire, but when you sang
out:
"Cover my defenssless head
With the shadow of Thy wing"

MISCELLANY.
President McKinley's Musical
Tastes.

President William Mckinley loves
music. His life has been busy and
serious one, not given to accomplish
meDts in music or art, save the arc of
political success. Yet nothing delights
him more in the hours of recreation
than sweet, simple music At church
services his baritone voice is heard in
the congregational singing OF the old
familiar hymns lie is a Methodist,
and knows from boyhood the simple
melodies With which Methodi,ts wor-
ship. Mrs. Nc Kinley is Presby terrain,
and doubtless the President in the days
of his courlship became proficient in
singing the praise songs of Ida Saxton's
creed. Like other mortal men, the
ruler of this nation has his favorite
hymns, songs and tunes" To Presi-
dent Mckinley the sweetest sacred
song is the hymn that begins:
"There is q Wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the Wilderness OF the sea-"
OF the operas, he loves best "The
Bohemian Girl" and the number that
appeals most to his fancy is THE Heart
Bowed Down" Nor does the Presi.
dent despise the modern songs of light
opera anu luo NduutNllltb.
During the campaign at Canton the
young ladies of the city delighted to
spend quiet, homelike evenings at the
Mckinley house. There was always a
delightful season of song and jollty
after the arduous tasks of the day, and
the candidate for the Presidency was
pleased with the up.to date musical en-
tertainment furnished by his guests.
His greatest delight was Louisiana
LOU" as sung for him by Miss Kate
Huntington. Each time this fair and
vivacious singer visited the Mckinley
cottage the most-talked OF man among
millions asked her to sing that pseudo
negro melody, which she did in in
imitable style. A year later, when he
came back to Canton, President of the
United States, he said to Miss Hunting
ton:
Louisiana Lou" has become ma
tional air. Everywhere go the bands
play it, and the young ladies in hotel
parlors are always singing it. But,
Miss Kate, no one renders it as well as
you."-Francis b. Gessner, in Leslie's

FILTERED BLOOD.
MOrrOw's Method OF Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest
Scientists.

Physicians of all schools are beginning to
realize that the primary cause of nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom
ach, various impurities, which, if permitted to
course through the system, quickly render the
blood unfit to carry on the process Of healthy
nutrition and ultimately result in the develop
ment of disease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest rregularity in the per-
Torrance of this function is Immediately mani
tested in general weakness of the body;
tendency to give out with little exertion. This
symptom is closely followed by others of much
more distressing nature which it is often GUS
tomary to attribute to other causes
John Morrow. an eminent chemist of Spring
field, Ohio, using as a basis for his work the
theory that the kidneys are responsible for the
condition of our health, has produced new
remedy which he has named Morrow's Kidne-
ODDS, the purpose of which is to act directly ON
the kidneys eliminating all unnatural deposits
and rectifying the damage caused by their en-
istence
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention and
established new method of treating disease,
the efficacy of which cannot be disputed
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared in yellow
tablets SO small as to almost rob them of their
virtue in the eyes of those not versed in medi
cine, but so potent is their influence that their
effects are noticed almo Immediately.
They are now on sale generally. If not to
be had of your dealer, they will be sent post
paid on receipt of 80 cents per box, boxes for
$3.50. by the Herb Medicine Co, Springfield,
Ohio.

Officials Indicted.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from La Plata says:
Tn the Circuit Court Tuesday morning
an Indictment was brought in by the grand
iury against Harry R. Bowling, Daniel j.
B,acunier, Thomas H. Ching and Thomas
Norman, the county commissioners for
Charles county, for willfully and unlaw-
fully misappropriating county money
The particulars are as follows:
Tn the fall of 1898 Mr.. Joseph Fl. Penn,
the democratic candidate for county COM
missioner, was declared elected according
tn the official returns and was cnmmis-
stoned as such by the Governor Fraud.
however, was charged at this election and
his scat contested by his republican oppo-
nent, Daniel J. Bragunier, and the case
was pending in the Circuit Court from that
time until January, 1898, when the court
Judges George c. Merrick aud }. Parran
Crane) declared the republican candidate
Daniel ]. Bragunier, to have been duly
elected county commissioner for Charles
county. luere tnt CaSo ios'o"' ''s
did not appeal from the decision Bra
ounier's commission was accordingly for
varied by Governor Lowndes, and he
qualified as county commissioner about
the LIST of February last. In June, the
tins. for making the annual levy, the
board passed upon the claim of d. j. Bra
punier, one of the county commissioners,
allowing him $471.90 in payment for ser
vices from the time of the election, in 1898,
to the decision of the Circuit Court, in Jan
uary last. So when the levy was published
in September the people throughout the
county became much incensed when they
observed the commissioners had taken
such action in the matter. Hence the
Indictment. All the commissioners with
the exception of the late Joseph w. n.
Contee. who died several months after the
adoption of this order. have been in court
and given bond for their appearance at
the trial. Congressman Sydney E. Mudd is
counsellor to the board of commissioners.
The indictment contains two counts
charging misrepresentation of county funds
by paying the claim of Bragunier, for
which he produced no proper voucher, as
required by law, and which was not prop
erly chargeable against the county. Mr.
Adrian Posey is the States attorney.
