PARK CONCERT.

TIL open air concert in Muskingum
Park last evening was a genuine ova-
ton. A vast crowd was in attendance
and enjoyed the choice programme
immensely.
Parents should caution their child
ren not to race and tear around like
mad and see how much noise they
really can make at the concerts given
on the park. The concerts 4are not
given for the people to congregate and
play but for pure amusement and for
the enjoyment of the music. And the
older people should not so far forget
themselvesas to remember that some
one near them wants to hear the
music if they don't. A noise in the
crowd not only disturbs all those near
it, but the musicians as well.

Rugs and Moving.

A certain man who owns a row of dwelling houses over in the northwest quarter of the town has learned wisdom by bitter experience. A friend of mine went to him not long ago to rent one of the houses.
 Do you lease 1t by the month or by the year?3 she inquired.
 That depends on what you are going to have on your floors, ' answered the landlord. Are you going to have car. pets?"
 Mo- answered my friend; I've have rugs
 "You'n have to sign a years lease then " the landlord made reply, smil- ing craftily, If you bought carpets and had them fitted to the floors, I know you d stay in the house as long as you could, but these rugs are too easily ad- justed to any sized room. You'll have to sign years lease if you have rugs. There are seven houses in my row, and six of them haven t kept tenant longer than two years at time for the last five years The seventh house-well the people in it had carpets made and laid for it five years ago, and they havent thought of moving.

wabblea When He Came to possum.

Old Uncle 0laybrook is a very re1i- gIous old darky and holds converse with his Kicker twenty times day or oftener His habit is to pray and then turn off into what appears to be a one sided conversation with the Lord, but 1t is evident that there Is another party to 1t as far as he is concerned. To hear him reminds one very much of tele- phone conversation.
 The other day he was going through his customary devotions, and when he got to the point of expressing thankful. ness for the many blessings of life he breke off into reoounting of them, says Cicero T. Sutton of the Owens boro Inquirer. !" An den, dar's possum, Lord-how'd you ever think of makin possam? Possum jes beats all You jes couldn't beat it of you tried az in.

Is insidious, and men do not realize that they are in its clutch. While consumption Is germ disease, the baci11i will not in wade sound and healthy lungs. The lungs must first be in diseased condition.
 First a man feels a little out of sorts. Probably he is overworked and has given too little time to eating, sleeping and rest ing. His appetite falls of. His digestion gets out of order and his blood does not receive the proper amount of 1ife-giving nutriment. The liver becomes torpid and the blood is filled with impurities. These are pumped into every organ of the body, building up unhealthy, half-dead tissues. The most harm is done at the weakest spot, and most frequently that spot is in the lungs. A slight cold leads to inAamma- ton, the baci1li invade the lungs and we have a case of consumption.
 Ninety eight per cent. of all cases of consumption are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the great blood-tnaker and hesh-builder It restores the lost appetite, makes the digestion per feet, invigorates the liver, purifes the blood, builds new and healthy flesh and drives out all impurities and disease germs. It cures weak lungs, spitting of blood, obsti- nate coughs and kindred ailments. No hon. est druggist will recommend a substitute

FRANKLIN'S GRAVE.
Reasons Given For Allowing It to Remain
 Tn It's Present Condition.


 Benjamin Franklin's grave is in Q neglected condition. No appropriate stone rises over it, the ground round about 1t is uneared for. and the tomb Of the great scholar and statesman is as obscure as that of man whose name and fame were no part of the glory of his country.
 His grave is destitute even of head. stone. It is covered by an old fashioned marble slab which was placed there 100 years ago and is now worn and diseol- ored by age
 Nothing has been done to it since Franklin was buried there, and even the modest arrangements of the grave are not kept in the perfect condition that is expected of great mans tomb. The earth on all sides is bare of grass, the common thatehing of the common est grave, and an air of desolation is about the whole place.
 The sexton said that the descendants of Franklin would not do anything te repair the grave; neither would they al- low anybody else to do anything Ev- cry day he has received offers of sub
 
 soriptions from visitors. who are dis tressed by the forlorn appearance of Franklin resting place and whowould like to sec it improved. h reply he says, as he has been instructed, that Franklin wished it so being plain man ayerse to display of any kind. !" Not long ago, at his own expense, he had the fading inscription recut, or else even the only distinguishing mark, the name, would be gone
 If he had not done so, the last rest ing place of the greatest man, outside of Washington, in American history would have been forgotten and un- known Who is responsible for this con- dition of affairs? Not the living rela- tives of Franklin The responsibility rests with the American people, to whom the man belongs They should sec to it in the future that what little is there to mark tho grave is kept in bet ter order than it has been in the past.
 Before he died Franklin provided for his own gravestone and instructed a stoneoutter of his acquaintance in every detail, even to the inscription which was to be placed upon it. He desired to be buried beside his wife, who had died some years before, and a common slab was to be placed over them both. The inscription arranged as he ordered i6 reads:
