JACK HAWTHORNE.

But no. Jack Hawthorne had not lost
his most precious. possession of all; the
heroic blood that courses in his veins
Heroic blood il was that prompted both
him and Private Bolts at the same in
slant TO jGmp up and rush forward with
such alacrity in the face of almost GER

All the word knows the name of this
young fellows grandfather. Nathaniel
Hawthorne. author OF the Scarlet Let
ter and the Marble Faun, master
pieces of English literature, but who has
heard of Boits. the unromantic cogno-
men Of the youngsters equally brave
cornpanion? What fOrefathers have
handed down to him the blood from which
heroes are made?
HEROISM Is IN THE BLOOD.
Blood viii tell is an axiom that in
all the ages has never been gainsaid.
Every man who does a brave, heroic act
carries within his veins a quality of blood
that urges and sustains him. No matter
whether he inherits it from a long line
OF famous ancestors or from the sound
and healthy constitution of his imme-
date parents, whose only distinction is
honorable toll and a simple, virtuous life
II matters little where or how You OBJ
tain 1t. but IL matters all the world that
by some means you possess good blood.
Good blood is first. last and always the
making of manly men and womanly wo-
men. It is the source Of all courage, viz
tue and happiness.
CAN A MAN MAKE HIMSELF A HERO
"A mans first duty said Henry Ward
Beecher, in a grand sermon on human
development. lis to be a good animal.
a man may himself begin the rehabili-
tation Of his physical powers, laying the
foundation of his own manliness and of
an inheritance for those who come after
him more precious than fine gold and ru-
bies.
Men and women who are sick, wretched,
and incapacitated for their full share, in
ought to carefully determine whether or
not their mental. moral and physical fac
ulties may be improved and advanced
surely TO a higher and nobler plane.
WHY PEOPLE DESPAIR.
In the depth of sickness and wretch
edness. men feel that their days of cour-
age and usefulness are ended, women
feel that they viii nevermore be equal

on a wife and mother; but too often this
sad conclusion, and the deep and hope
less dependency that accompanies it, are
entirely erroneous.
It comes because manly mentality and
womanly courage have been sapped and
undermined by the subtle. disintegrating
poison Of physical debility and mall
nutrition. The spirit ceases TO be will
ing because the flesh is weak; the blood
is impoverished, the nutritive powers de-
pleted. II is by overcoming these ply
steal disabilities and restoring the forces
of nutrition to full and complete vitality
that DR.. Pierce's wonderful Golden Med
teal Discovery gives back 10 men and
women their true birthright of hopeful
ness endurance and heroism.
