SUCCESS,

DR.. Hathaway G. Co.'e successes have become a
household word. Why? The answer is simple.
They are men with the courage of their convic.
tons, 0rlsinators. not imItatofs. Their methods,
like themselves, are in harmony with the people
and the times. New and up to date. Among the
legions of miscalled experts and legitimate
specialists they stand to-day with clean hands in
the front rank Of respectable professionalism as
acknowledged originators of the new and now
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
complicated disorders
Their reputation rests not on the cheap, trans
parent platform of purchased testimony but on
nesses Of their skill. AS physicians Of business
and social status in the community they pledge
complete course of treatment and ultimate cure
by the Hathaway method, !" unabridged, and at
prices within the reach Of all.
They are regular graduates in medicine from
some Of the best medical colleges il the world,
and hold licenses to practice from different State
Boards Of Health. They conduct their business
on strictly professional basis, promising moth.
ing but what they can fulfill, and do not adopt
the many fake and fraudulent methods that many
doctors and so-called specialists in offering free
prescriptions, cheap medicines and C. o. D. fakes
in order to obtain few dollars from their unfor.
tunate victims.

-FOUR SQUARE"
The Christian Ideal Calls for Men
Symmetrically Developed.

Just before the opening Of the Paris
exposition in 1867 an enterprising
American with an eye TO business
sought concession from the emperor
to lay tramways through the city TO
accommodate the crowds sure to need
them. The promoter showed how these
intramural railways added 10 the COM
fort OF the citizen and increased the
commerce OF the tradesman; how they
added to the value OF the business sec
tion and enabled the artisan 10 reach
his home in the suburbs promptly. Aft
er the visitor had set forth his views the
emperor, Napoleon Ill, said, briefly:
Paris is not a city OF commerce; il is
a city OF luxury" and denied the pc
tition.
Each city has In its own way per-
sonality. II has its own character.
ideals, ambitions; and these govern and
control its external development. Ii is
not by accident that London looks un-
like Paris, or that Edinburgh does not
resemble Chicago. When Disraeli was
shown one Of the cities upon the con-
tinent by its proud resident he was
asked whether it was not beautiful
"Yes," he replied, hut IL lacks one
thing" WHAT'S that?" Smoke" was
the laconic reply. To the thrifty Eng
lishman no city was beautiful which
did not show something Of the touch OF
toll.
Every municipality builds its own.
walls as the nautilus builds its shell
out OF its own life and to its own meas
ure. 1t is this which gives the Apocalyp-
tic descriptions OF Heaven such inter
est; they, describing the city, must per-
force describe the citizen. A -four
square" city implies symmetrical,
well-balanced, correctly-angled man.
1t is not a city Of giants and pigmies
and deformed moral characters; il is
n city OF "four-square" souls who stand
true TO all the purposes Of God
This is not the case with the average
man here upon this bank and shoal OF
time" Men are not square with their
own convictions OF duty or their own
definitions OF night. They too often
condemn themselves in the thing which
they allow, at once judging IL in their
fellows and permitting II in their own
life. They profess n code but seek not
to conform to il. They hold views of
God and the Bible and Christ to which
they have never squared their own con-
duct. They develop emotion and neg
lect active piety, or devote themselves
to prayer and forget charity.
II Is the "four-square" citizen alone
who is fit for the city that ''lieth four
square" II is the "four-square" Chris
tian that the world needs, and contin-
ually needs; and that Heaven will come.

Doing and knowing.

Men say Tint when they know they
will do; Jesus SAYS that when they do
they will know. He does not promise
10 manifest Himself TO the man who
dreams or debates, but 10 him who
keeps His commandments. The seeds
of truth sprout In the soil of obedience
The words OF Jesus in the mind OF
disobedicnt man are no more vital than
wheat In the wrappings OF mummy.
To know the divinity OF Jesus teach
ings we must do His will with definite
intention. Moral disobedience Is mental
darkness, but TO submit our wills In
loyalty 70 His law is to open our minds
TO the light Of His truths s. Times.

SHOTGUN INSTRUCTION.
A Missouri Judges Unwritten Law
which a Jury Respected

Which Jury Respected.
! Judge Falconer, of Kentucky, who
gave the "unwritten law" decision In
the murder hearing OF man who shot
the despoiler of his home, is but one of
several men who have held openly on
the bench that homicide is not crime
when committed to avenge ones honor.
| Some years ago, in the criminal court
OF ST. Louis, Bill Smith was on trial for
an attempt to murder Mrs Sterling, a
reputable woman who had the manage
mcnt of her husbands farm during his
absence. The Sterling farm was in Illi-
nois. Sterling was in California at the
time OF the attack. His wife was an
attractive woman. One Of the men on
the farm was Bill Smith. His atten-
tons TO Mrs. Sterling were more en-
phatic than discreet and he was dis
charged. He went to st. Louis and ar
ranged plan by which Mrs. Sterling
visited that city, though she was ig-
norant of Smiths connection with the
scheme. He met her, TO her surprise,
soon after her arrival, and demanded
that she sell her farm, which she could
have done at the time without the con.
sent of her husband, and go with him
out of the country. The woman de-
clined. Smith forced her into a hall
way and nearly succeeded in cutting
her throat with pocketnlSife. The at
tack would have carried but for the mr.
rival of help.
Smiths immediate arrest followed.
and he undertook to justify his act by
the statement that the woman had tri-
fed with his affections. Sterling re.
turned from California to assist the
state in its prosecution. During the
trial IL was noticed that Sterling sell
dom took his right hand from his
pocket. Laughlin, the judge, directed
the jury to find Smith guilty, and then
said
IF Mr.. Sterling had taken double
barreled shotgun on his return TO this
city and unloaded both barrels into the
carcass OF this man Smith. even IL he
had done it In this courtroom, the act
would have been not only justifable,
but proper and to Mr.. Sterling's credit
But as he did not, gentlemen OF the
jury, you will pass upon the defendants
guilt, and will assess the punishment,
assuring you that IL will be 10 the full
extent"
OF course the verdict was guilty. In
passing sentence. which was ten years,
Laughlin scored Smith and repeated his
shotgun instructions. When this was
done Sterling took his hand out Of his
pocket. He had resolved to kill Smith

choose to make il. You are-pardon
me for saying it--you are a breaking
man" Mr.. Morley sprang from his
seat at these words, and stood erect,
confronting me with n glare of angry
resentment in his eyes. But went on /.
Nothing could have stopped me then.
1T is true, sir; the signs OF ill-health
are upon you. That was one cause,
the change in you, which brought the
tears TO your daughters eyes just now"
His naughty manner subsidized, went

groaned.

GONE

wA~s gone-my angel. my darlingi
Away 70 the mountains has flown,
And am sitting and dreaming
In tenderest sadness alone
There's nothing to shatter the silence
That broods like fathomless pail
Ger space that was once full OF music.
save the sparows' monotonous call.
Around me are touching mementos
or days that were brimming with cheer,
When she. my radiant angel
From the kingdom OF Heaven. was near
The marks OF her pink baby fingers
Are still on the windows bright pane,
Where fond In my arms I upheld her
To look at the g1itterlng rain.
Her rattle sim lies on my table.
With an OF its poor. battered beliA
And oh, what a story OF transport
The dear little plaything now tells.
On q chair Is her shoe like a flower
A lover In his passion has pressed,
Its beautiful petals all faded.
That his sweetheart once wore on her
breast.
IT'S true she has only departed
To cross a brief channel OF time.
But. oh, what a stifiing measure
IL makes I'm lifes musical rhymei
What pause and a silence oppressive
That makes the yearning heart ache
And feel that time Is now coming
When the chain that is golden must
break.
